Paul Krassner memoir mentions FBI pressure on Cavalier magazine and House Internal Security Committee blacklist

Paul Krassner memoir mentions FBI pressure on Cavalier magazine and House Internal Security Committee blacklist The passage provides a vague claim that three wholesalers refused to distribute Cavalier magazine due to alleged FBI pressure and that Krassner was listed on a House Internal Security Committee blacklist of "radical" speakers. While it hints at possible government intimidation of a publication, it lacks concrete names, dates, documents, or transaction details that would enable immediate investigative follow‑up. The claim is not previously documented in major reporting, giving it modest novelty, but its speculative nature and lack of verifiable specifics limit its investigative usefulness. Key insights: Krassner alleges FBI influence over magazine distributors in the early 1970s.; He was reportedly placed on a House Internal Security Committee list of 65 "radical" campus speakers.; The blacklist was said to have been published in the New York Times and other newspapers.
