Why is this issue of “Smith’s Report” Reaching you Late?

Let me Count the Whys

By Bradley R. Smith ∙ October 1, 1997

Last updated on

1) You may recall that the last issue of SR was late; the issue we did after my move from California to Mexico. Since that one went out late, this one got started late.

2) The first week in October we were touched by the outer edge of a tropical storm. She blew out the electricity in Rosarito—not in the whole town, just in our neighborhood.

3) She blew out my fax and my telephone answering machine. The telephone went too, along with my connection to the Internet but that was fixed within 24 hours. The telephone company here has proven to be very stable.

4) My printer chose this time to begin to malfunction. Nothing to do with the storm. The “driver” went out, and no matter what I try I have been unable to get my hands on a new one. I don’t even know why.

5) Trying to get small electronic machines repaired in a small Mexican town is an adventure. I have spent 10 days on it so far, and I’m still counting. That’s the briefest outline of the full, complicated, frustrating but learning-rich story I can give.

We’ll play catch up on our schedule over the next couple issues.

Back Issues of Smith's Report:

Single copies: $3 ea.
The first 40 issues: $77
List of lead articles for first 40 issues: $1

Please check your records. If you contributed to CODOH or Smith's Report between 1 March and 1 August 1996, and have not contributed since, your time has come. We are going to work out a “trailing” program so that everyone is notified automatically when a contribution is due, just like real newsletter publishers do it, but we still have not gotten it done. Please help me out here!

Thanks,

Bradley

    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.
