The Last Word

*** I think maybe Jon Rappoport has had the last word here. Groups, not individuals: Holocaust Deniers, Jew-haters, Anti-Semites, it goes on and on. Always groups, in support of yet another Group, The Genocide Industry. They are very good at it.

*** Last month was a disaster with regard to donations. I wonder if it could be a bad reaction to my reprinting that long autobiographical story, Che Guevara in Saigon? I thought it relevant, but…

The irony is that I was going to do something similar in this issue of SR. To be titled: Without Thought. A review of the primary turning points in my life that were almost without exception taken at an entirely unexpected moment with no fore-thought, no consideration whatever of danger or loss or reward. I think it very interesting and somewhat unique. But in the end I had to go back too far, to the 1950s, the text was too long and too complicated. I might still do it here in parts. You will tell me if you get bored with it.

*** I’m grateful for your contributions. Believe me. I am unable to make time to thank you individually. As a business proposition, that’s very bad business on my part. All I have room to say right now is that we were finally able to kick off a project that we have been working on for months. Kicked it off only three days ago. Will it make a difference? No way to know. By this time next month I expect to have a pretty good idea how it is working, if it will work.

Until next month then
Bradley

  • 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.

  • Holocaust Denial and Anti-Semitism

    The terms “Holocaust denial” and “anti-Semitism” are hopelessly bound together in the public consciousness. In an article published this November on a blog page of the Chicago Sun-Times, it was reported that the US State Department’s Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism, Hannah Rosenthal, would pay particular attention to a growing level of Holocaust…
