Good Morning from the Zundelsite:
It has been said that never will "morality"
sit well upon the human heart if bought at the expense of a major part of
man's mind. The Holocult is no exception. Sooner or later, emancipation
will happen.
Here is another step toward that end - and an important one it is: SMITH'S
ON-LINE REVIEW, a Revisionist Internet journal.
Below is the text of the press release:
SOR will be the world's first "On-Line" revisionist review. As
a review, SOR will examine the effects and resonance of historical events
on politics and culture in the present, rather than using scholarly method
to reconstruct the past, in the manner of an academic journal.
As a revisionist review, SOR will devote primary attention to the controversy
surrounding the "Holocaust" story, which we view as having become
a modern-day Zionist cult, in the effects of this influential cult on politics
and culture, and to the ongoing efforts of the cult to suppress intellectual
freedom with regard to the facts of the Holocaust and related historical
episodes.
SOR will feature reviews of historical works; personal essays and interviews,
"objective" articles; "new" journalism, satire and parody.
We will review fiction as well as non-fiction, movies, theater, comic books
and museum exhibitions. We will print reportage and analysis of Holocaust-cult-related
news with a particular emphasis on how the works under review affect society
today. Longer features may include essays and articles on appropriate historical
subjects; interviews with personalities within SOR's ambit; journalistic
investigations of high caliber and tone; and longer reviews.
SOR will strive to be sophisticated without being arch; knowledgeable but
not academic; savvy without being smartass; combative but not unreasoning,
popular without being vulgar, inclusive but not cultic, and will pursue
no political commitments. We only ask that the writer be willing to adapt
himself/herself to the practices of a literary/historical review.
We are also looking for:
- Short, informative, zingy news items our prospective readers may have
missed - as well as similarly pithy commentary, explicating in novel ways,
news the reader may be already aware of;
- Longer items of analysis and commentary regarding matters the reader
probably will have heard of - but supplying interpretations, and sometimes
additional facts, that will be-new for them;
- Materials for a press or media-beat department. -
- Submissions are welcomed for these . . . departments, which will reveal
our discontents, as well as our occasional, and hopefully increasing triumphs.
It may be tough for writers to get the hang of what we think works here,
therefore, particularly at the outset, we will comment on, if not publish,
all such submissions.
- Further, we will welcome all clippings, photocopies, etc. of stories
relevant to Holocaustomania etc. here and abroad. Even short and local
items can result in effective stories. (Photos should be reproduced with
enough care so they can serve as "originals" to be reproduced.)
- Regular one-page columns or reports on such things as censorship in
the name of the Holocaust; the Holocaust/revisionist scene in Europe; reports
and critiques of state-of-the-art revisionist scholarship; reports and
analysis of the role of the Internet and Web, with specifics and theory
regarding the medium and its content; perhaps even a satiric page devoted
to the excesses of Holocaustomania.
- What's required here are writers who can design and fill a specific
slot with a page of first-rate commentary on a focused subject - i.e.,
"censorship" for example - issue after issue. We need columnists
to "prime the pump," not with a single article, but with the
confidence and a plan that will produce successive articles he or she can
and will follow through on.
- Letters to the Editor: we welcome your "pre-publication"
letters to Letters to the Editor with your hopes, fears and suggestions
for SOR.
- Features/Review Articles: To repeat, what SOR needs is not so much
articles about history, although on occasion these will be welcomed, but
about historiography and its uses and implications re the Holocaust cult
in today's culture.
Specifically:
- Interviews with revisionists, exterminationists, and others;
- Treatments that tie current concerns/rages (i.e. terrorism) to "Holocaust"-related
WWII events (one interesting idea, for example, would be a comparative study
of the theory and process of Israeli "settlement" of the West
Bank, Golan Heights and so forth with the WWII operations of the German
SS "Racial and Settlement Main Office's" efforts to "Germanize"
[through settlement and displacement] conquered or acquired areas in eastern
Europe);
- Examinations of the use, exploitation, suppression, etc. of other "holocausts"
and "genocides." -
Many readers of this essay may have one or more ideas to hand, perhaps are
working on or have already written a candidate for SOR. In that case, you
are invited to query Bradley Smith c/o SOR. As a matter of fact, before
we have published the first few issues of SOR, before it becomes clear what
is being aimed for, we suggest very strongly that you query with your ideas
for articles rather than write something specifically for us that might
be very good but which would not fit with how we envision SOR.
- Feature articles should be topflight, and topical, i.e. anticipating or
making trends, or at least being "now," not "then."
Articles can treat old topics, but with such freshness and authority that
the article becomes self-referential, supplying a "present" without
regard to the material treated.
- The length of the typical article should seldom exceed 4000-5000 words;
articles shorter by as much as half will be welcomed.
- Reviews: should be sophisticated enough to provide more than a summation
of plot/action, then a brief.
- Brief reviews or notices of works that include even a passing nod to the
Holocaust cult (or defiance, mirabile dictu, of it) are welcomed. Reviews
should not run much more than 1500 words, unless they are ambitious enough
to rate as "review articles." -
- Caveats: There's no room for arrant Jew-baiting - no matter how well disguised.
There's no desire for mere rehashes of revisionist writings and arguments.
- SOR is not an "apologetic" publication, either for revisionism
as such or for this or that nation or regime. -
- The credo for Smith's On-Line Review is that good will, honest research
and good writing, a fearless dedication to intellectual freedom and a little
good humor will best serve the interests of Americans and mankind in general.
