The French anti-revisionist law
The French anti-revisionist law dates from July 13, 1990. It is known by various names: “Gayssot law,” “Fabius-Gayssot law,” “Faurisson law,” “lex Faurissonia,” or “article 24bis” (of the law of July 29, 1881, on press freedom). It provides for a prison sentence of up to a year as well as a maximum fine of €45,000 for anyone who publicly disputes the reality of one or more “crimes against humanity” as defined and ruled on, essentially, by the International Military Tribunal of Nuremberg in 1945-1946. In addition to the prison sentence and fine there can be an order to pay damages to Jewish or other associations as well as the heavy costs of having the decision published in the media: finally, the courts may order the confiscation of any work material, along with books and papers, seized by the police.

Man’s Claims of POW Status Discredited
DALLAS (AP) — A man who spent years recounting his time in a prisoner of war camp in Vietnam has been revealed as a fraud, according to a newspaper report.
John Powell, 57, told his wife, friends, veterans and others that he spent more than three years in captivity after his helicopter was shot down, even sharing his story in articles and videos.
But when he tried to get a fishing boat last month under the guise of being a former POW, veterans investigated and discovered Powell never served in Vietnam. They looked into his past after he posted his story and plea for the boat on a Web site. His national service records show he served less than a year in the Army in Alaska before being discharged in 1968.
“For every veteran out there, I am sorry, I am sorry,” Powell told The Dallas Morning News. “It will never happen again. Never.”
Powell said he was recently found to have bipolar disorder and plans to seek treatment. He also said he has other ailments, including stroke-induced neurological damage.
Powell said he wasn’t quite sure what prompted his lie, which began as early as the 1970s.
“I have a lot of respect for anybody that wears the uniform,” he said. “It’s just that, maybe I wish I could have done more. Maybe I wish I was a better help and I wasn’t.”

Nation-States Gone Wild: The Persecution of David Irving
Will the European governments that ban any talk about the Nazis not having murdered 6 million Jews start rounding up the newspaper editors who published the Muhammad cartoons and start putting them on trial for crimes against Islam? European governments and their media mouthpieces appear to use the mantle of free speech to justify publishing supposed insults against Muslims. But what about the free speech rights of people who dare to go against conventional thinking of Nazi atrocities committed against Europe’s Jews?

Daily Northwestern’s Defense of Holocaust Denial Column “A Stunning Disregard for Journalistic Ethics”
