(This is the organization that has provoked great ferment on campuses with ads demanding a full airing of the Holohoax issue! May Smith rest in peace, and may his tribe increase..... its impact, 1000000-fold! Recent: http://freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=191118 -- NN) The Campus Project Is Back! By Roberto Hernandez A few weeks ago I received good news from our friend Germar: CODOH was now able to re-start The Campus Project. We had enough funds to buy ads in student newspapers and run the campus project. This time it must be different. Bradley Smith is no longer with us, and only he was able to do it the way the Campus Project used to be under his command. He invented The Campus Project. No one else had done what he did. I remember in Bradley’s Fragments in Smith’s Report he reveals an excerpt of what Professor Arthur Butz says in an email to a few colleagues with CODOH: “…That has been the value of the campus project. It has been intrusive. As I recall, the first national publicity B[radley]RS[mith] got was in connection with the Campus Project. It was intrusive. While it is important to maintain the intellectual quality of CODOH’s online offerings, it should be borne in mind that they are not intrusive.” So for Professor Butz the value of the campus project is in its intrusiveness in American Universities. I completely agree. Our job now is to make our own Campus Project in our style and set of rules that can work for us. And that is what we are doing so far. Germar gave me the material we needed to advertise a book cover from Castle Hill Publishers, titled The First Holocaust: The Surprising Origin of the Six-Million Figure which sells on Amazon and has a lower probability of getting rejected by the advertising department at the student newspapers I had selected to start our campaign. Most readers at CODOH are familiar with the Campus Project, but it is essential to keep in mind that what we look for by placing these ads in student newspapers is to encourage intellectual freedom and free inquiry which should be no doubt one of the ideals of the American University. Yet it is not so with regard to the Holocaust question. Taboo prevents this from happening. And taboo is very hard to crack. In my experience with the Campus Project, it has been most of the time academics and not students who enforce this taboo. This new campaign has been no different in this regard. Out of the five student newspapers I had chosen one refused the ad, another never answered, a third one was too expensive for us, and two accepted our insertion requests: The Hoya at Georgetown University and The Chicago Maroon at University of Chicago. Both of the ads we were able to buy were online ads. Clickable ads that would take whomever would click on the book cover image we had running as an ad to the Amazon page where the book sells. A simple deal. I was actually very surprised that two big student papers had actually accepted our ad. And even more surprised when they ran the ads. But it did not last long. The ad at The Hoya ran for one and a half day, then the student who was taking care of our account sent me an email, and I’ll quote him here: Your ad was flagged by my supervisor, and it will have to be taken down. The content of the book was deemed not appropriate for our website. I made some inquiries about who was his supervisor, maybe a teacher I thought, that is very likely, and what part of the book was “deemed not appropriate” for their web site. I never heard back from The Hoya. In the case of The Chicago Maroon things went a bit differently. Here the ad ran part of Friday which was the first of this month. Then the person who was working with us from the advertising department at The Chicago Maroon said on our first exchange after the ad was pulled down: “The directors of The Maroon have decided to pull down your ad due to the controversy it is causing to readers.” Well, we had created some controversy. That means others on campus were talking about the book, our ad, the entire topic of the Holocaust six- million myth, possibly. This is what we wanted. A free exchange of ideas. Intrusiveness. But I wanted to know more about why they pulled down the ad. So I asked what was the specific controversy that she was taking about, and if faculty was involved when an ad gets pulled down from The Chicago Maroon........... http://codoh.com/library/document/4051/ (The book Hernandez mentions, The First Holocaust: The Surprising Origin of the Six-Million Figure, is outstanding -- a fully professional, scholarly job.)
