TWEETING

By Bradley R. Smith ∙ August 18, 2013

Last updated on

*** As I reported here last month, I have begun “tweeting.” Posting brief messages online that with a single click are sent to those who I have convinced to sign up for them. Each tweet is a very brief text with a link to a relevant story that I want to draw attention to. There is very little work involved. The idea is to produce contacts with others who are tweeting and who share some of my interests. I have 92 “followers” as of today. An insignificant figure. But it’s a start. Here is the text of one tweet I did this month:

“Israeli soldiers on Arab land in West Bank settlement making ‘Rachel Corrie’ pancakes. tinyurl.-com/k5fzg7v. Anything for a laugh, eh?”

That’s the entire enchilada. The link leads to the story and includes photographs of young Israeli soldiers on the West Bank gathered around a table laughing and celebrating their “Rachel Corrie” pancakes. Rachel being the young American who was protesting the demolition of Palestinian homes who was murdered by an Israeli bulldozer driver. The story came to me in the usual course of the day, took five, six minutes to compose and to tweet it.

A couple days after I tweeted the Rachel Corrie story I was informed that it had been “re-tweeted” by a Website named RonPaulVote@jonflombee

I was “following” them, and they me. Here is the trick. RonPaulVote has 3,415 followers. Each of them received my tweet as it was re-tweeted, and at the same time a link through me to CODOH. So, while all 3,415 libertarian followers of RonPaulVote will not investigate CODOH, some number will. My time is valuable, but six minutes to reach 3,415 libertarian (or any) individuals with revisionist messages—well, it’s worth my time.

I have tweeted 71 times and have 92 followers as of this writing. A few of those tweets follow.

  • 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.
