THE END OF THE FREEST OF FREE SPEECH,
The Meteoric Rise and Planned Decline of Propagated Truth via E-mail
Charles E. Carlson

Yes, someone is curtailing free speech over the Internet, especially
directed e-mail, and there is a reason? Who plans it and why will be
saved for later. Most readers don't know the Internet is being
curtailed, and many think it needs to be controlled, but you will not
like what you are about to learn. Indeed your writer is also an
unwilling sorter of unwanted trash ads and pop-up irritants. But
these are 95% commercial ads and have nothing to do with propagation
of unheralded news, editorials, and Pharisee Watch, which are by our
plan propagated by E-mail.

This is our latest tale of our own long and true experience of being
mugged over and over again by those with whom we do business. It is
the latest of seven or eight unpleasant and costly incidents that
have threatened us and restricted us over the last four years when we
set ourselves on this course of communication. You should know that
this message is going out to only 3% of our normal mailing list. We
are 97% crippled by the events we are about to share with you.
Others with valuable messages do not even try to do E-mailing like we
do, having long since given up. Were it not for organized
interference, Pharisee Watch would be reaching millions every week.
We are not about to quit, there is too much at stake. But we must
have help. - [http://msnbc.msn.com/id/7305528/site/newsweek]

Strait Gate Ministries which does our mailing, has received many
letters that have stating words to the effect:
"THANK GOD YOU FOUND ME ON THE INTERNET, I don't know how I got on
your list, but your message should go out all over the world; keep it
up."

Of course, we get many more who say "TAKE ME OFF THIS LIST." And we
do so, that is the law.

Of course, we get many more who say "take me off this list." And we
do so, that is the law.

But our purpose is to reach around the globe with the PHARISEE WATCH
message. But we are not free to do so, unless we can afford the
cost, which is many times higher than it should be because of
deliberate interference and defamation. There are powerful and rich
organizations that want Internet communications
controlled...controlled by themselves, of course.

To give you a glimmer of understanding of how this Internet control
network works we are, for the first time, sharing a real "demand"
letter we have just sent to our latest high speed (DSL) Internet
Service Provider who provided commercial service to us under a formal
written contract at a cost of $150.00 per month, until one week ago.
We have masked the real names only because this letter may end up as
evidence in court:

March 26, 2005
TO:
(Company Name) Internet Services, L.L.C.
Officer
Address

Dear Mr. CEO:
You have now returned our check dated March 18, 2005, for $150.00,
marked "void". You have discontinued our commercial Internet service
in violation of your own written contract. We pay five fold the cost
of household DSL service, to have commercial service with a fixed IP
and a written contract. We have not violated that contract, you
have. Again I ask you to please restore our service and honor our
contract. If you will not do that, please promptly provide every E-
mail and other communications you have received about Strait Gate
Ministry, and specifically including each and every E-mail complaint
about us, with full address headers.

History:
On Monday, March 21, about 11:00 AM, Mr. B. called to tell us your
decision had been made to restore my DSL service, that service having
been interrupted a few days earlier. He requested that I agree to
run an "opt in list only." I declined, stating that we would remain
legal at all times. Mr. B. agreed to restore service anyway, but he
warned me that Your Company Internet could not afford to be placed on
a spam listing, or words to that effect. In a previous call, Mr. B.
told me words to the effect that Your Company Internet cannot go by
the legal definition of "spam" in dealing with us, its customer,
because its industry would not tolerate it doing so. This means
someone else is forcing you to restrict our legal, free speech.

Next, on Thursday, March 23, at about 10:00 AM, Mr. B. called to tell
me he had again "closed Port 25" on our DSL service. He stated
Strait Gate's server had again been "spam listed" by (A certain Anti-
spam vigilante organization) after mail was sent on the evening (22
March). He also stated he had again received complaints. Mr. B.
stated he is returning our check ($150.00) for the current month's
rental and that we are invited to use the Webmail for a "couple of
weeks" while we find someone else for DSL service.

Previously, on Thursday, March 17th at about 3:00 PM, Mr. B called
the undersigned to tell me he had "closed Port 25" on our DSL
service. When asked "why" he said "because you are a spammer." When
asked to explain, Mr. B. replied, "Before you ask me to
define "spam," let me tell you spam at Your Company Internet is what
I say it is."

I appreciate Mr. B's courteous manner in his recent call, but this
does not solve our issue, and does not comply with our contract that
requires 30 days cancellation notice by either party, and we do not
want to move our services to another provider, we chose your company
for a reason.

Mr. B's suggestion that we "find another provider" is also useless
unless we can remove the complainers from our list. They will simply
stalk us from one provider to another, embedded in our list, and
protected by Your Company. Our mailing list is clean, it was last
updated to exclude all known complainers and remove requests through
March 22, 2005. But the professional complainers who are hiding out
in our list will repeat their complaints to the new provider. Nor
can we take legal Action against them until you disclose who they
are. We are your client, they are not; we have a right to know who
is interfering with us and defaming us. If you will not tell us you
are protecting them, and you are as guilty as they are.

Spamhaus, who you have mentioned, is unreachable, operating out of a
foreign country. But both you and I fall under US
jurisdiction. "Spam" is codified in Federal Law as of January 1,
2004. (see footnote) All providers of Internet service are
responsible to know what is in the Can Spam Act. All of our E-mail
sent through Your Company Internet was legal under that Federal Law.
I continue to invite anyone who thinks we are violating the law to
make a complaint to the US Attorney General.

As for your industry problem that Mr. B. has referred to, you will
have to face it sooner or later. Your free speech is also in
jeopardy. The big backbone providers like Qwest, AOL, MCI, need to be
told by the ISPS, like yours, that you will not tolerate being
blacklisted because you do business with clients who, like us, are
not breaking the law. Big industry subscribers to Spamhaus's list
should be held responsible for any damage caused by its deliberate
false representations that go beyond US law, defaming people for
profit.

(Rest of letter withheld.)
Respectfully,
Charles E. Carlson

We Hold These Truths' advisors are being asked to decide it we need
an audience in "Caesar's Court" as the Apostle Paul did. Will you
help us? It is your freedom too, if we do nothing, we will soon be
nothing. Internet communications will soon go the way of
celebrity "Christian" airwaves. A little free speech will be
tolerated, just enough to be noticed, but never enough to do much
good. Soon E-mail broadcasting will be reserved for a selected few
with establishment's acceptable views.

We Hold These Truths cannot succeed sending our message to 3% of our
potential. We must propagate our Pharisee Watch selectively to a
million people a week, or more. Then change is possible.

How can you help us reach a million people a week? Call and ask us
or sent an e-mail with your phone number. I am sure you also know
your check or credit card donation would be most helpful. We Hold
These Truths has yet to pay our first legal bill. In the future we
may have to pay lawyers to protect us. If you want to help, send
contributions to Strait Gate Ministries.

Have you had trouble with the credit card functions on our Bookpage,
please try again, we think we fixed the problem and your credit card
should ACCEPT ALL CREDIT CARD IN ALL COUNTRIES. Check out our new
