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.

With best regards,
