Our government talks all the time about shutting down so
called “terrorist” web sites. Of all my web sites and blogs I don’t understand
why my books would be considered terrorist or supporting terrorists as our government
depicts it. But they have closed my book promotion web site down.
The internet censors decided to freeze my book web site. If
you go to my site on http://www.freewebs.com/ponnary/ you'll see
that it is frozen and there is a big
page that tells me this. And when I clicked to see why—they told me my e-mail
address is invalid. They won't tell me why the shut it down.
But I know from seeing that Freeze message on other sites
that it is a government shut-down of sites they don't like.
I've seen that on some radical sites, such as the Maoist Communist Party Manipur, http://maoistpartymanipur.webs.com/.
Just click on that site and what a coincidence—it is the same message I got. This
is not the first time I have seen this page and this message. So I have to
wonder why my government forced the shutdown of my page. It is not the only
time this happened and I’m sure it won’t be the last.
So much for US freedom
of speech! That freedom is a joke like most of our other US rights.
