There’s a War Going on Out There That  Few People Know Is Being Waged 

Dear Barnes Review subscriber and supporter:

Our headline does not exaggerate. Right in front of us a war is being waged to steal what remains of our freedom of speech. From Florida to England and beyond, those who dare to speak truth to power on the most “taboo” topics of the day are not only silenced through fines and public shaming, they can also be imprisoned.

Take the case of Welshman James Allchurch. Known as Sven Longshanks to his Radio Albion listeners, for years he has been running multiple politically incorrect podcasters on his network who are willing to broach uncomfortable topics. For that, James just received a two-and-a-half-year sentence in an English jail!

Here in America, the Anti-Defamation League and other grievance hustlers are waging an all-out war against “Holocaust deniers”—those who dare to question the official World War II narrative that the Nazis executed 6 million prisoners in homicidal gas chambers in a massive plot to exterminate all of European Jewry.

They say “Holocaust denial” (we call it honest historical inquiry) creates hate. And they have identified the top “anti-Semites” and the top “Holocaust denial” publications in the world today. A portion of the ADL’s list of “Who’s Who of Holocaust Denial” reads as such:

• Willis A. Carto [deceased—Ed.]
• Dr. Thomas Dalton [TBR Board of Contributing Editors—Ed.]
• Robert Faurisson [deceased—Ed.]
• Paul Fromm [Canadian free speech activist, TBR Board of Contributing Editors—Ed.]
• Henry Herskovitz [criticizes Israel, discusses the Holocaust, interviewed by TBR—Ed.]
• Michael Hoffman [historian, author, TBR Board of Contributing Editors—Ed.]
• Victor Thorn [deceased author of The Holocaust Hoax Exposed, formerly a member of TBR’s Board of Contributing Editors.—Ed.]
• Jim Rizoli [His popular uncensored podcasts focus on the Holocaust.—Ed.]
• John Wear [TBR Board of Contributing Editors, featured writer—Ed.]
• Ernst Zündel [deceased—Ed.]
• Bradley Smith [deceased—Ed.]

Notice the list included many researchers and publishers who are in their graves. What threat do these dead men pose to their sacrosanct Holocaust tale? Did the ADL need to flesh out the list a bit?

As far as the top “anti-Semitic” organizations, only six outfits were listed: The Barnes Review, Castle Hill Publishers, CODOH (Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust), Inconvenient History, RevisionistHistory.org and the Institute for Historical Review. And only TBR publishes a print periodical. 

The ADL’s criticism of TBR is as follows:

The Barnes Review is a historical ‘revisionist’ magazine that has promoted Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism since its founding in the 1990s by anti-Semitic propagandist Willis Carto. It is still in circulation and continues to regularly advertise Holocaust denial literature and provide a platform for Holocaust deniers and others to publish anti-Semitic articles.

I think the ADL’s copywriters could have worked the word  “anti-Semitic” into that paragraph at least one more time, agreed?

As an aside, I am not sure why publishing authoritative articles on the Holocaust makes the ADL go apoplectic unless we are onto something they prefer not be known by the general public. Our articles aren’t hateful. Instead, they make people think. (See Carto quotes above. Are they really that “extreme”?)

So, don’t blame us for publishing the other side of the story. Blame the dishonest system that perpetuates historical myths and whose brainwashing is poisonously pervasive in all levels of public and private schooling. This protection apparatus includes all of the controlled news media, almost every elected official at all levels, left-wing academia and Hollywood, just for starters.

But how do we counter that?

First the challenge. Besides the usual intimidation of payment processing outlets, the ADL and others have been relentlessly pressuring print-on-demand publishers to cancel any books and publications that the thought censors have been sensitized to find offensive. This could be a book pointing out that Anne Frank’s diary was written in ballpoint pen years before that useful invention was conceived or mentioning that the authorities at the Auschwitz Camp Museum have lowered the death toll for that facility to 1.25 million from 4 million.  Nothing really that controversial; merely a recitation of agreed upon facts any honest observer would admit are true.

But, as we know, when it comes to some issues, the truth matters not.
Thus these print-on-demand printers—owned by the biggest publishing conglomerates in the world—refuse to print books for fear of repercussion, i.e., a public shaming for “helping spread hate” when no hate was actually distributed. It’s amazing, really, that groups like the ADL and its ilk can just snap their fingers and make hundreds if not thousands of books disappear. It’s a modern-day book-burning of massive proportions. 

We deny anything TBR prints causes “hate.” As I mentioned earlier, all we want people to do is think. And you cannot think—cogitate and then form rational opinions—if you are denied factual, truthful research.

In case you were wondering, print-on-demand xerography allows small companies like ours and others on that ADL list to print small quantities of books at a time (a thing you could not do affordably with an offset printer 20 years ago). This means the amount of inventory and warehouse space you have to possess is cut significantly. So, print-on-demand printing gave you an affordable, professional product, a short turn-around time, lower storage costs and even fulfillment services. In short, publishers of politically incorrect books got spoiled. Those days are over.

Note that the big print-on-demand printers (Ingram, LuLu, Createspace) are all owned by massive parent companies that can afford the best high-tech photocopying technology you can buy—computer-driven, high-end photocopying machines that are as expensive as a three-bedroom home. These beauties can print, collate, trim, create a cover, perfect (glue) bind it and shoot it out the other end of the machine as a finished product.
A guy stands at the end of the machine and puts the books in a box. Pretty amazing, really.

But once your print-on-demand account is canceled, chances are you are up the creek without a canoe. And if you try to jump from one of the big print-on-demand companies to another, they will make the connection and cancel your printing account over and over. Although it sounds easy, the truth is, finding printers—outside this network of mega-print-on-demand printers—who will print books affordably and in short runs and are devoted to freedom of speech are few and far between. Ask any small publisher of politically incorrect materials how that search is going.

WINNING THE WAR AGAINST MODERN-DAY BOOK BURNING

That is why, today, publishers and authors are coming to The Barnes Review for help. They are looking for a “safe space” to publish their books, an organization that will not cancel them without warning for the content of their books. To bypass the politically correct POD printers, TBR has begun printing books. By doing this, we have already rescued hundreds of great books from the precipice of the Memory Hole—books the big publishing houses were too scared to touch. Even on our shoestring budget, we have helped multiple publishers get their books back in print in a short time. (You will see many of these in the issue of TBR that arrived with this letter.) We hope that number of rescued books grows to thousands. 

We don’t have the gargantuan budget that the mega-printers—Ingram and Amazon and Google—have. They have billions of dollars. But this CAN be done affordably and professionally.  I myself have over 46 years of experience in the printing and publishing business, so this is a natural. But we NEED to help more authors and publishers who have had their printing accounts closed from powerful outside pressure.
And this is where you come in.

Frankly, TBR needs donations for this effort to have a chance. The books we are talking about are classics, many of which you can get nowhere else. Almost all have been beautifully re-set, not blurry reproductions from marked-up, crooked copies. There are also newer books that need to be designed and printed that a bigger budget could tackle and no major print house will dare attempt.

Our fundraising goal for this project—we call it Operation Book Rescue—is $75,000. Part of this is for better (faster) machinery, but a portion will also have to be dedicated to expanding fulfillment and storage space. Some will also go to book designers as some of the authors we work with had the mega-companies design their books. The problem with that is that, once their accounts were canceled, these authors found out they did not own the printing files for their books. In other words, TBR has to start from scratch on some of these books, all the way from the editing and proofing stage to the design and printing stage. It’s expensive, but well worth it.

IMPORTANT CAUSE

I hope you think this project—Operation Book Rescue—is as important as I do.

First of all, I do not like anyone telling me what books I can and cannot read.

Second, it pains me to see the rug pulled out from under publishers and authors who have worked so hard for decades to bring us real history books like The Nameless War, Crimes Discreetly Veiled, Might Is Right, Life in the Reich, Hitler’s Last Testament, Heroes Hang When Traitors Triumph, The Murder of Andrei Yushchinsky, The Jew, the Gypsy and El Islam, Communism in Germany, Jewish Domination of Weimar Germany, The Six Million: Fact or Fiction?, Race and Racial Differences: A Handbook for the 21st Century and on and on. But these are books, frankly, that most printers are too afraid to print these days.

As usual, TBR is not looking to make a boatload of money from this venture, though it will require a lot of work. But we do expect we can break even and, in the process, print and distribute as many of these politically incorrect banned books for as long as we possibly can while owning up to our mission “to help bring history into accord with the facts.”

That has always been our promise to you and remains so.

In the end, this project can save so many great books that might otherwise be lost forever.
