Pro-family activism that makes a difference! | ||||
MassResistance web site shut down after homosexual activist threatens web hosting company -- and company caves in!Latest in vicious (and illegal) "swat" campaign against conservatives.POSTED: June 18, 2012 The MassResistance website was completely shut down last week after a homosexual activist and convicted sex offender threatened the web hosting company, and the company caved in. Although the site has finally come back up, (after nearly three days of being down) the activist has now sent a threat to the owner of the owner of MassResistance's new hosting company.
Adam Flanders is a well-known homosexual activist in Maine who has been convicted of molesting a 14-year-old boy and is a registered sex offender. In January 2007, Flanders wrote and publicly distributed a shocking letter describing the sexual acting out at a "gay youth" organization, including adult men having sex with boys. Flanders delivered the letter to local police departments, the local media, and pro-family groups. Now, five years later, Flanders had a change of heart and wants it removed from pro-family sites that have posted it. He has intimidated every pro-family group into removing it -- except MassResistance.
The vicious "SWATing" tactics now being used against conservativesKnown as "SWATing," Flanders' action can be seen as part of a disturbing new strategy being used around the country to stifle free speech by viciously harassing conservative web sites, bloggers, and writers, by going after the individuals personally. This includes threats, frivolous lawsuits, false police crime reports, phony harassment filings, other various acts of terror and intimidation. Flanders has filed a false harassment complaint in a Maine District Court against Brian Camenker of MassResistance, personally, and the judge unbelievably agreed to the restraining order! In Massachusetts, a far-left pro-homosexual group has filed a lawsuit against Pastor Scott Lively for international "crimes against humanity" because of his pro-family activism. Flanders has indicated in his emails that he is working in concert with radical homosexual groups around the country. Web hosting company for MassResistance site caves inOn Monday afternoon, June 11, HostExcellence, located in Kentucky, decided to accommodate Flanders' demand that they shut us down. The MassResistance website -- which has been up for nearly 15 years -- suddenly disappeared from the Internet. Despite the fact that we had been hosted by HostExcellence for nearly eight years without any problems, the company was resolute. When HostExcellence began getting threats from Flanders they ordered us to take the material down or be shut down. We were contacted by Craig Witten, who works in the company's legal department, with that directive. (Strangely, we were first told he was a lawyer, then they said he's not a lawyer.) We explained to Witten the background of the situation, but he told us that doesn't matter. He said that shutting us down is simply a business decision. The company doesn't want to risk getting into a legal fight with those people, he said. We suggested to Witten that by siding with a sex offender against a pro-family group helping parents, the company risks angering other pro-family people across the country, and sending a message that people's sites aren't safe from the ire of radicals like Flanders. Witten said that wasn't a concern of theirs. He added that the decision was final, and there's no one else at the company that we, or anyone, could talk to further about it. (This policy apparently reflects the sentiments of company president, Fathi Said.) Threat to owner of MassResistance's new web hosting companyBy Wednesday evening we had found a new hosting company and had finished most of the painstaking task of restoring the large MassResistance website onto its servers. As soon as the new site was up, Flanders traced the server addresses to identify the company. He then sent two chilling personal emails to the owner, also located in New England. The first email contained a series of legal fabrications about MassResistance. In the second email, Flanders listed the company owner's full name, his home address, and his business address. (It was clearly meant to frighten him.) Flanders said he was giving him 24 hours to take down the MassResistance site. Flanders also threatened that he would begin various immediate legal actions against the owner personally, saying he was "personally culpable" and would be seeking "personal damages" from him. The new web hosting company's owner is a committed Christian, and so far is standing tall on this. He knows that Flanders has no actual legal basis for his claims. But Flanders' range of threats and enraged intimidation tactics are naturally very worrisome to him and his family, to say the least. Conservative media picks up on storyThis story is starting to pick up steam. On both Monday and Tuesday, MassResistance was interviewed on the Bryan Fischer show on the American Family Association radio network. We were also interviewed on the Dr. Michael Brown Show, also syndicated across the country. Later that week were on radio in Maine.
In addition, WorldNetDaily did two articles on this last week -- but unfortunately both have been taken down (See #2 below.) The time to fight back is now!The pro-family movement has a long history of simply taking a defensive posture when confronted by radical activists. That has not served us well. At best, it temporarily "holds the line." Left-wing groups like GLAD and the ACLU, on the other hand, are always hyper-aggressive and willing to take us on with every creative strategy they can think of. The "gay marriage" decisions and the legal attack on DOMA are just two recent examples, also going back to the removal of all religious expression from schools. You can take this to the bank: If Flanders is allowed to get away with this, his radical cohorts across the country will soon all be doing the same, and much worse. The time to fight is now. In fact, the First Amendment covers legitimate news reporting and political opinion for everyone -- even if homosexual activists don't like it. Or, at least it's supposed to. Soon after our site went down our office got a phone call from a web hosting country in a foreign country across the ocean. They said they'd be happy to host us if it's become too dangerous in America. We're thinking seriously about it. But has it really come to that? 2. WorldNetDaily removes articles reporting this incident after receiving threats from homosexual activist! A sad day for the "free" press.As conservative news sites go, we have always held WorldNetDaily in very high regard. They bill themselves as a "Free Press for a Free People" and they have lived up to that. Over the years they have covered numerous cutting-edge MassResistance activities that others only covered afterwards. And we love reading their "Whistleblower" monthly magazine.
It seems that even exposing Obama is considered less risky for the conservative media than this. Why does our side cower before the homosexual bullies? 3. MassResistance needs your support now. Be a part of the fight!This past week has been pretty tough. MassResistance is the only group that didn't back down to the threats, intimidation, and harassment from the homosexual movement. Our website got shut down over it. We worked around the clock and got it back up in less than three days. And the assault continues. The homosexual movement wants to destroy us more than ever.
4. Camenker of MassResistance addresses Plymouth Rock Tea Party, also speaks at MARA breakfast.MassResistance continues to be in demand for speaking engagements across the state spreading the word on a number of critical issues that don't get reported by the mainstream media. But in particular, people want to know about the homosexual (and transgender) agenda in the public schools that no one else is exposing or even talking about.
