AOL Leads Political Censorship in U.S.A.
MIDDLEEAST.ORG - MER - Washington - 6 October:
Months ago AOL censorship of MER was ended after many people contacted AOL protesting and threatened legal action.
AOL has since recently resumed censorship of MER and is blocking many articles from reaching those who have subscribed to MER.
It is believed this has been done by persons at AOL who are doing so in coordination with Jewish Zionist groups who have long worked to censor MER -- as have others, far less effective however, who are connected with Arab regimes. With regard to AOL there appear to be specific Jewish groups and Jewish individuals possibly employed by AOL who are believed to be responsible for the censorship.

Note:
If you have friends who use AOL please forward this to them as MER
articles are censored by AOL from reaching them. MER
articles are sent only to those who have subscribed for free from their
own individual email accounts and are fully verified to have done so.
AOL Leads Political Censorship in U.S.A.
The following messages were received yesterday from persons using America On Line (AOL) after they were individually contacted with information that it was believed their AOL email from MER was being blocked and censored by AOL:

Yes, AOL has blocked things
from MER for at least a month, perhaps two.
I receive MER on Yahoo, so I haven't
missed anything.

They have been blocking you from my computer again for a
month now. Please try and get me back on your list
again. Thank you,

I subscribe to the newsletter Mid-East Realities,
MER, which I normally receive by e-mail regularly every day. If
AOL has blocked MER again I request that AOL unblock it immediately.
I hope that AOL is not deliberately blocking MER again
on the pretext that it is Spam, because some politically motivate
groups do not want the interested American people to read the truth in
MER about events that concern them, as was done before earlier
this year. Reportedly, earlier this year a
particular group in America supportive of Israel which did not like
what was in the MER Newsletter about Israel, demanded that AOL block
MER in America...
I have not received one single e-mail from MER for
some time now...
I have checked with friend who use AOL and live in my
hometown Walnut Creek, California and they also are not receiving the
MER Newsletter.
I have contacted a friend in Canada and they are
receiving the MER Newsletter.
Earlier this year AOL Censored, blocked and deleted
the same Mid-East Realities newsletter for a long period of time. I
called AOL about this to find out why I was not receiving by e-mail the
Mid-East Realities newsletter. I was passed from one AOL
department to another , such as CAT, the Postmaster, etc.
Everyone I talked to professed ignorance regarding the action taken by
AOL against MER. I persisted for an answer and eventualy was told by
AOL personnel that they had received complaints about Mid-East
Realities being Spam and or containing Viruses and the group of people
complaining had asked that Mid-East Realities be blocked.
I informed AOL Personnel that this was absolutely
untrue because because you have to request from MER to have the
the Mid-East Realities Newsletter sent to you. I also told AOL
that in all of the years I have been receiving MER it never
contained any viruses.
I requested of AOL that Mid-East realites be
unblocked. AOL refused to do so telling me to have the publisher
of Mid-East Realites call AOL. I was even arrogantly told that
AOL can delete, censor and block anything AOL wants without
any justification. I refuse to believe that even the mighty AOL can do
that without probable cause at it would violate my
Constitutionally guaranteed rights and those rights of
other Americans using AOL.
I then contacted the Publisher of Mid-East Realites and
discussed the situation with him. He informed me that many other AOL
subscribers in America had complained that they also were not
receving MER. He had contacted AOL requesting that MER be
unblocked but was rebuffed by AOL.
I believe that AOL eventually unblocked MER only after
receiving many complaints from AOL subscribers.
Please un block MER and stop censoring it if indeed that is
what you are doing again.
