Earlier today I posted a blog on my myspace account.. the Ive had since 2004. The blog illustrated certain facts and highlighted certain articles… and was based on a report that the US was using social networking sites to spy on citizens/members and that the networking sites were cooperating. It cited specific references…it gave links…it named names…

In a second blog posted an hour later I put up a photo montage of pics from Germany in 1939 and here…now. titled… “I thought we won the war?”

Those of you who had me on “WATCH THIS PERSON” got notifications and could see, every single thing I did and said. So did someone else. By 10AM my myspace account was closed and I was sent an email saying and I quote

“Myspace does not share your views on a number of subjects pertaining to Myspace business practices and activities and has chosen to terminate your membership”

I wrote back saying “reinstate me or I sue” those who know me know Im not kidding… and they responded

“Your account was not singled out by any member of our staff based on your views or postings but appeared in an hourly surveillance report, based on what we view as content adverse to our interests we exercised our right to administrate our membership and therefore terminated you. Any further discussion of the matter is pointless, as we will not be reactivating your account and should a court order it done in the future I can assure you we would not be able to restore the mail, comments, and blogs etc. as we are under no obligation to keep such records”

So I prepared an emergency injunctive order to prevent the records being destroyed, and a small claims suit of “Infringement on Civil Rights” well based on the email that they terminated my account NOT BECAUSE I VIOLATED A TERM OF SERVICE but because they didnt like what I had to say, and that made it illegal and subjective. I was ready to go…until I got a call and this morning.

At this point all I will tell you is that Myspace and any other social networking sites are not who they appear or want you to believe them to be. Every blog Ive written, every nightmare Ive had about “what could happen” is not future but past…

Imagine a place where everyone spills there guts, tells there secrets, puts up pictures of all they do and with whom, what they own, where they live, what they buy, what music they like, who they sleep with, who they dont, what their personal dreams are, there opinions on bosses, government, the DMV… Im sure someone would pay a fortune to have access to that information. WIth it… well you could control them… Now imagine the government doesnt need a warrant to inspect it all because YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF. Who knows maybe you didnt realize who was behind the social networking site boom and takeovers. I hear I cant sue them because they are protected by a “mutual assistance” agreement with the US government. At least thats what the kind man on the phone said… he wanted to talk to me about “your recent writings and thoughts on how our government is performing its duties, and functions in the war on terror and related events” he asked me “do you really think that the government is spying on people and using fear and intimidation - I mean dont you think thats kind of irrational”

Given that hes calling me from a local FBI office (I had to call back, so I know its for real), to talk to me about something I wrote on the internet that he and his friends dont want you to know or see…. ID SAY NO…I think its completely plausible.

Remember I told you this today…February 12, 2008…remember I warned you…remember that Ive never been a pussy or one to be silent…but in order for me to live to fight another day… I have to make it through this one.

AND THUS I ENDED MY LETTER…
