After this Summer, we may never have to deal with David Irving in the US ever again, given the news from him that his visa has been taken away!

For a number of years, David Irving has been coming to the United States hawking books and giving lectures promoting the Nazi Party and the idea that the Holocaust never happened. Consequently, antifa have been protesting him at his venues or causing those venues to cancel him outright, provided that they are able to find the location of the venue that Irving keeps secret to prevent such protests. Those days may be coming to an end if the news that Irving has lost his visa to come into the United States is true.
According to an email sent out by Irving prior to appearences during his most recent speaking tour, it stems from being approached by the Department of Homeland Security when he arrived at the airport in Atlanta on Jan 31. “I was detained four hours by Homeland Security and my hard-won ten-year US visa was cancelled on an obvious pretext, and this may probably mean that I am banned for the next ten years from the USA,” he wrote. “So much for the First Amendment.”
If indeed Irving's visa has been cancelled, it is not clear what the action may stem from. It is however, just one of the stories concerning Irving, the other being a bizarre story surfacing from the U.K. in the past few weeks regarding his sale of what he said was a lock of Adolf Hitler's hair to the BBC. According to reports, producers paid £3,000 for the hair so they can have DNA tests carried out on it for new show Dead Famous DNA.Critics were none too pleased with those producers, slamming the sale to Irving as “tawdry”, but then it took another turn when those tests revealed that the hair was fake.
Producers gave Irving the benefit of the doubt, saying they are not sure he knew the hair wasn't that of the dictator. "Whether he knew what he was selling was fake or not, we don’t know,” David Glover, Channel 4’s head of specialist factual programming, said.“He may have sold it in good faith, but what we can say is all the evidence suggests that the hair he claimed was Adolf Hitler’s, our DNA science strongly suggests it wasn’t.”
Irving, for his part stated in a message posted on his Facebook fan page how he felt mistreated by the BBC, saying that he was only paid for an interview. “I understand from Robert Sullivan, [[email protected]] whom they mysteriously call "Mr X", the Baltimore man who provided the production company with bone fragments of Hitler and Eva Braun allegedly from a Moscow archive source, that they have treated him equally shabbily. I confidentially provided his details to the television production company Double Act, for which they have not so far credited to me.”
During last year's American Renaissance Conference, a shaven-headed, bespecled man with braces that refered to himself as “Mr. X” was in attendance.
According to his website, Irving, 76, will begin what he says might be his last US Tour along the East Coast and Midwest on June 20, ending on July 26.
