Other Stuff

When we moved from Visalia to Baja Mexico last summer, I mentioned that everyone came, Irene and me, Paloma, Grandma, the birds, our dog Katy, and Pete the cat. Several people mentioned they would like to see a photo of Pete. No one mentioned Grandma or Katy. So here’s Pete. The kid? Paloma, just before we left Visalia.

PRESS CLIPPINGS—a reminder that relevant press clippings, particularly those mentioning the Campus Project or the JDL/Cole scandal are wanted—urgently. Here in Baja the press is not particularly interested in what interests us. NAMES—my sincere thanks to those of you who have sent me new names over the last few months of individuals who you believe might be interested in receiving information about Smith’s Report, CODOHWeb, and the Campus Project. Names are the name of the game. Have I said that before?

ONE LAST TIME! — please check your record of contributions. We have finally worked out the “trailing” program for our computer to remind SR readers who we have not heard from for 11 months that we really must hear from you now. Thanks to all of you self-starters who have done this for me over the last few months. I appreciate it. I expect this will be the last time I will print this special plea here.

BUSINESS EXPENSES. Over the last 30 days these include: telephone $474; editorial & research $600; merchandise $535; office and shipping expenses $570; printing $750; postage $846—for a total of $3,775. All those funds came from contributions—from SR readers and contributors. There is no other place to get it, no other people contributing. This isn’t a project that the MacArthur or Ford Foundations will sustain. We are on our own. One day it will most likely be different, but for the present, we’re on our own. Your help is appreciated. With you, I can do it.

Without you?—not a chance!

  • Bradley R. Smith

    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.
