Your Internet Service Provider may be violating your freedom of speech.<br><br>Since the Passage of the Homeland Security law,<br>MANY of my political adversaries have disappeared from the internet.<br>Am I pleased?<br>ABSOLUTELY NOT!<br>Our freedom of speech is being taken away.<br><br>My own former ISP has told me that they have been provided with long lists<br>of numerous domains that have already been "blacklisted".<br><br>Most of the Internet Service Providers are now using a program<br>which "filters out" certain emails. Those who send the emails;<br>which are not being delivered,<br>ARE NOT GETTING AN ERROR MESSAGE,<br>TO ADVISE THEM THAT THEIR MESSAGE WAS NOT DELIVERED.<br>These messages are simply "black holed".<br><br>This program; which "filters out" certain emails, is allegedly to "protect"<br>us from things such as spam, adult content, viruses, and "hate speech", etc.<br>Who decides which "speech" is allowable?????<br>The "Thought Police" are here now.<br>I have repeatedly tested this program, by sending VERY SMALL political<br>messages, TO ONE SINGLE RECIPIENT, who is a close friend.<br>The messages had no "adult content", no virus, and had nothing that could<br>remotely be called "hate speech".<br>MANY OF these messages WERE NOT DELIVERED.<br><br>My own Internet Service Provider has told me that the program; which<br>"filters out" certain emails, was developed using guidelines from the<br>Department of Homeland Security. At the same time, the Internet Service<br>Provider is now being told that they are now regulated by the Federal<br>Communications Commission; which in turn, receives guidelines from the<br>Department of Homeland Security. OF COURSE there is no legitimate<br>justification for Federal Communications Commission regulation of the<br>internet; since it does not use shared air ways.<br>"Surveillance" of the internet is not new.<br>Visit:<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.dojgov.net/USDOJ_Carnivore_Scam.htm">www.dojgov.net/USDOJ_Carnivore_Scam.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>To read e-mail the FBI can order an Internet Service Provider to place a<br>special monitoring computer called Carnivore (now renamed Data Collection<br>System 1000) on its network servers. The FBI can then select the e-mail of<br>surveillance targets for capture and storage. Not content with this device,<br>the FBI now seeks to expand its surveillance capability to the entire<br>Internet.<br><br>"Surveillance" has now been upgraded to include actual censorship.<br>Visit:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.cdt.org/speech/">www.cdt.org/speech/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>It is time to update a famous quote from Rev. Martin Niemoller<br>Rev. Martin Niemoller, commenting on events in Germany 1933-1939 said:<br><br><br>"In Germany, they came first for the Communists,<br>and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.<br>Then they came for the Jews,<br>and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.<br>Then they came for the Trade Unionists,<br>and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Trade Unionist.<br>Then they came for the Catholics, and<br>I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.<br>Then they came for me, and by that time, no one was left to<br>speak up." -- Rev. Dr. Martin Niemoeller, July 1,<br>1937; arrested by the Third Reich<br>An update of this concept, with the United States in mind, would go like<br>this:<br><br>"First they burned the house of the Symbionese Liberation Army and killed<br>all of their members. Most of us did not object because we did not believe<br>in the same things as the Symbionese Liberation Army.<br><br>Then they dropped a bomb on the building of the Philadelphia MOVE group, and<br>destroyed two city blocks, and killed 11 members. Most of us did not object<br>because we did not believe in the same things as the MOVE group.<br><br>Then they burned the house of Gordon Kahl, a tax protester, and killed him.<br>Most of us did not object because we did not believe in the same things as<br>Gordon Kahl.<br><br>Then they burned the house of Robert Matthews, leader of "The Order," and<br>killed him. Most of us did not object because we did not believe in the same<br>things as Robert Matthews.<br><br>Then they conducted a siege and a raid of 80-member Covenant of the Sword<br>and Arm of the Lord religious group. Most of us did not object because we<br>did not believe in the same things as the Covenant of the Sword and Arm of<br>the Lord.<br><br>Then they conducted a siege and a raid of Randy Weaver's family, and killed<br>or wounded nearly everyone present; even including a baby and the dog. Many<br>of us did not object because we did not believe in the same things as Randy<br>Weaver's family.<br><br>Then they burned the church of the Branch Davidians and killed nearly all of<br>them. A few of us did not object because we did not believe in the same<br>things as the Branch Davidians<br><br>And then they kidnapped Elian Gonzalez ..."<br><br>John Perna April 22, 2000<br><br>"An evil exists that threatens every man, woman,<br>and child of this great nation.<br>We must take steps to ensure our domestic security and protect our<br>homeland."<br><br>- Adolf Hitler, proposing the creation of the Gestapo in Nazi<br>Germany.<br><br>Sound familiar?<br> America, you better pull yer head out...........<br><br>Memorize this:<br> Homeland Security=Gestapo<br> Homeland Security=Gestapo<br> Homeland Security=Gestapo<br> Homeland Security=Gestapo<br> Homeland Security=Gestapo<br> Homeland Security=Gestapo<br><br>Constitutional rights:<br> Freedom of religion<br> Freedom of speech<br> Freedom of assembly<br> The right to keep and bear arms.<br><br> Are NOT dependent on which religion or ideology someone believes.
