Harold Covington, aka "Winston Smith," continues to lie about Nizkor's co-webmaster Hilary Ostrov. For details on the truth, see http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/orgs/american/national-socialist-white-peoples-party/nswpp-spam-02.html Date: Tue, 10 Sep 1996 12:30:03 -0700 (PDT) From: NSWPP-CSUTo: nswpp@earthlink.net Subject: Liberal Goons Threaten CN Internet Service [NSNet Bulletin #46] The following article is written by Mr. Brian Redman of "Conspiracy Nation". Mr. Redman is in no way, shape, or form associated with the National Socialist White People's Party; his article is reprinted because of the threat posed to the freedoms of everyone by the kind of behavior he discusses here. It should be noted that Mr. Redman's frequent pointed and detailed criticism of the Clintons and his republication of Sherman Skolnick is almost certainly the cause of the threat against his Net account by Prairienet. In this society when unseen pressures are exerted to stifle free speech they originate 90% of the time from within the Jewish community, the organized Left, the White House, or some combination of all three. PRAIRIENET "FREE NET" MOVES TO SQUELCH DISSENT by Brian Redman ============================================== Although burning with anger at the moment, I will try to calmly explain the bullying tactics used and apparently in the works against this alternative news outlet by a person or persons at this time unknown to me who go by the alias of "The Prairienet Systems Staff." This entity, "The Prairienet Systems Staff," has denied me due process by (a) receiving an allegation that I have "spammed" someone, i.e., apparently meaning I have allegedly sent an unsolicited e-mail message or messages to an Internet user, then (b)finding me guilty of the charge, without EVER bothering to hear my side of the allegation, and finally (c)issuing a ruling that if it happens one more time, my account can be cancelled. If my Prairienet account is cancelled, this will (a)greatly limit this news service's ability to disseminate controversial, alternative information and (b)presumably also mean that news archives compiled by this alternative news service and made available as a public and patriotic service, and at no charge, will no longer be available. Specifically, it can be seen that the cancellation of my Prairienet account will likely also eliminate the public archives at the "Citizens Committee to Clean Up the Courts" site ("go citcom") on Prairienet. Also suffering due to this possible arrogant outrage being apparently planned by a person or persons unknown at this time and operating under the alias "The Prairienet Systems Staff" would be Mr. Sherman Skolnick, Chairman and Founder of "The Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts." Mr. Skolnick is a well-known investigator, operating in the public interest for three decades, whose work is widely read worldwide. The great majority of material to be found at the "Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts" archive on Prairienet is by Mr. Skolnick. Thus, Mr. Skolnick would also be injured by possible censorship being secretly planned by a person or persons using the alias of "The Prairienet Systems Staff," and acting under the disguise of preventing alleged "spamming." Said "spamming" allegations are strongly denied by this editor. I never send unsolicited e-mail. What is more, I have not conducted mass mailings from the Prairienet account for several months, at least. What is more, all those on the Conspiracy Nation mailing list, which is sent from a different Internet account and not from the Prairienet account, are on that list because they themselves have signed onto it. It is never this editor's policy to subscribe persons himself; all such requests receive the standard response that the user himself must subscribe. Furthermore, any user is free to cancel their subscription at any time. Speculation on the part of this editor leads him to believe that the Prairienet "Free Net" system, a non-profit entity supported in part by corporate monies, in part by user donations, and presumably also receiving federal and/or state monies, may be under some pressure to pull the plug on the "Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts" archives on Prairienet. It is well-known that Prairienet lacks funding. It is not impossible that certain corporate and business entities, as well as certain narrow-minded citizens, are using the hint or threat of cutbacks in funding by them as a means to silence this independent news outlet. So too, Illinois government officials and agencies, as well as federal government officials and agencies, who are critically scrutinized by this news outlet, have it in their power to use hints or threats of decreased funding to attempt to silence dissent. Furthermore, the very unknown person or persons operating under the alias of "The Prairienet Systems Staff" may themselves wish to silence me by using false, trumped-up charges as an excuse to shut down points of view they do not like. See below for additional information. Note especially that if the entity calling itself "The Prairienet Systems Staff" had carefully checked, they could have seen that the supposed "spamming" had as its destination two NEWSGROUPS, "alt.activism," and "alt.conspiracy," and not any individual's e-mail account. WINSTON SMITH COMMENTS: The situation described by Mr. Redman above is very similar to one faced repeatedly by the NSWPP over the past two months. In July the Jewess Hilary Ostrov of Nizkor attempted to get the Party's account with Earthlink cancelled. I regret to say that some people who claim to be part of our own Movement have done the same, out of ulterior motives which are cynical and deeply shameful, and which I will discuss in the fullness of time. Thus far, I have to give Earthlink high marks; they have stood up for freedom of thought and freedom of conscience and resisted these pressures. (Knock wood!) America On Line was not as strong and pulled our web site offline about two weeks ago. We do send unsolicited e-mail in that any time I see an e-mail address wherein the person appears to agree with our position I send them an electronic introductory packet. True, this is a form of "junk mail", I suppose, but if K-Mart and the Bob Dole campaign can do it I refuse to accept that the Party can't. All that is necessary if anyone does not wish to receive NSNet Bulletin is to send me the word "unsubscribe" and you will be removed from the recipient list. In the short two and a half months I have been on the Net I have already encountered five or six cases, including our own, where Politically Incorrect users were yanked off line without so much as a whisper of advance notice. What I find most troubling in these cases is the denial of what is coming to be just as much an essential service as water and electricity, through a total lack of due process. The victims of this kind of behavior are almost never told who has complained, or indeed that there have been any complaints at all, before all of a sudden they try to log on one day and find their account is cancelled. In many cases e-mails are never forwarded, no money is refunded if due, and almost never is any explanation of any kind provided. Because the Internet is so new there is little in the way of law covering such situations and Net users lack even the most basic of civil rights protections; an ISP can commit gross violations of a user's civil rights and liberties which no government body or public utility or private individual would dare attempt. I REALLY would like to see someone with the time and the immense amounts of money necessary to litigate sue the hell out of one of these ISPs who cancel accounts for political reasons and win. Failing that, surely this is something the A.C.L.U. would want to get involved in?
