Names. Clippings. Mea Culpa

By Bradley R. Smith ∙ June 1, 1997

Last updated on

NAMES: They’re still the name of the game. If you know someone you think would be interested in receiving a free copy of Smith’s Report and my essay, “The Holocaust Controversy; The Case for Open Debate,” please send me his or her name. Every new subscriber is important, even if it’s only one. CLIPPINGS: Please continue to send relevant press clippings, particularly, but not exclusively, from sources I am unlikely to see in my daily round. Don’t think the other person will do it. He won’t do it. MEA CULPA: I want to apologize to those of you who had to wait so long to receive materials from the Tinbergen Archives which you ordered for me. It was not Tinbergen's fault, but mine. My right-hand woman, Robin, left in February to have a baby and after she returned in April she could only work about ten days before she had to leave for good. Those of you who ordered from us were caught in the middle. We have everything pretty well cleared up now (I’m still working on the sets of back issues of SR but am almost there) and will be back on course in about ten days. Again—it wasn’t Tinbergen; it was me.

[Your contribution helps sustain CODOH and CODOHWeb and our growing audience, which stretches from occupied Berlin to occupied East Jerusalem. We can do it with you, but how could we do it without you?]

    Bradley R. Smith was born in Los Angeles on February 18, 1930. At 18 he joined the army and in 1951 served with the infantry in Korea where he was twice wounded. After three decades of a variety of professional activities, it suddenly hit him: In 1979 he read a leaflet by Professor Robert Faurisson, "The Problem of the Gas Chambers." Then, Arthur Butz’s The Hoax of the Twentieth Century did it for him. He understood from the beginning that he would address the censorship, the suppression of independent thought, the taboo against publishing and debating revisionist arguments—not the arguments themselves. That has remained his position. In 1989, Smith founded Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (CODOH) dedicated to defending free speech and free inquiry into the Holocaust question. He handed over CODOH's helm in late 2014. He passed away on his 86th birthday, February 18, 2016. Read a series of obituaries here.

This issue continues, and completes, the JHR's exploitation of that marvelous godsend from the Klarsfelds and their monied supporters, Jean-Claude Pressac's Auschwitz: Technique and Operation of the Gas Chambers. Pressac's massive study is the first attempt by Exterminationists to come to grips with the Revisionists' technical arguments against mass murder at the Auschwitz crematoria. As…

When Harry Elmer Barnes defined historical revisionism as bringing history into accord with the facts,” he stated not merely the essence of Revisionism but its entire program as well. One might think that righting errors and false conceptions about the past were program enough, but there remain those among the unenlightened (and even a few…

Smith’s Report is currently operating in a financial vacuum. The entire operation has been moved out of Bradley’s Mexican redoubt, yet our new financial modus vivendi hasn’t been established yet. The reason for that delay is that Bradley needs to sign a contract granting us the right to use CODOH as a business name. He…

You never know when you will suffer a small epiphany. I was telling Bill Jefferson, one of my more critical volunteer advisors, about how the Georgia State Signal has been a rock over the past few years, steadfastly publishing CODOH advertisements and bearing up under criticism from the Georgia press and the Lobby again and…
