A Sobering Message to Truthmongers Around the World: How "Uncle Sam" Turned into a "Big Brother" PHOENIX, Aug. 24 - And now, here's an epilogue to the story behind the above "Venik" story. And it has nothing to do with Serbia. It has to do with how Uncle Sam's criminal reincarnation, the Clinton administration, tried to shut down the dissemination of God's truth during NATO's war on Serbia, and turned itself into a Big Brother reincarnate. At least two U.S. Internet providers not only had tried to, but actually did, shut down the "Venik" Web sites. At the U.S. government urging, the "Venik" insists. Because he told the truth about NATO's aggression on Serbia. Here are copies of some of the correspondence which TiM exchanged with "Venik" during the course of trying to verify his existence and credibility. You can judge for yourself whom to believe - the "Venik," or the "Big Brother:" VENIK: "I am reading your TiM newsletter about the situation in Yugoslavia with great interest every time. During NATO's aggression against Yugoslavia, the (TiM) newsletter provided a lot of particularly interesting information that would otherwise have escaped my attention. I did my best during NATO's aggression to maintain an accurate record of NATO combat losses and military tactics. My Web site (Venik's Aviation Page) had on the average about 3,000 visitors every day from Yugoslavia alone. Which, I guess is not bad for a personal home page. Several months ago I received a strange letter from the webmaster of Cybercities - my former Web space provider - who explained that he was forced by the government to close my page. I moved my site to XOOM, where it existed until several days ago when I received a similar letter for XOOM's webmaster. Knowing that your newsletter targets the audience which may be interested in the kind of information presented on my Web site, I decided to contact you with a request to include the new address (below) of my page in your newsletter." Asked by TiM who ordered his ISPs to shut down his Web site, "Venik" replied: "Apparently, it was the US government. It appears that I probably deleted the e-mail from XOOM's webmaster, but I still have the one I got from the Cybercities, which is a Web space provider based in Flagstaff, Arizona. Their Web site is www.cybercities.com Recently they re-designed their web page and removed any info about their location. But on their old web site the address was: Cybercities.com; 2532 Borth 4th St. #301; Flagstaff, AZ, 86004 Here is the e-mail I received from the Webmaster of Cybercities on May 26, 1999. Subject line: Anti-American Pages; sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Dear Madam - Sir, We recently got some governmental complaints about your web page on our server concerning the topic: Aircraft used and lost in Yugoslavia. You know, that our policy is, and always will be, to obtain the free speech on the internet. But, as you might know, our server is located in the U.S. , so we cannot provide any topics, that collide with federal laws of the U.S.. And according to one of these laws, no company inside the U.S. is allowed to supply any hostile country, this concerns ALSO (due to the email we got) YOUR web page. So we please you to rearrange your web site the way it does not show the numbers and locations where the Yugoslavian side assume NATO planes got down (If it is true or not I do not care!!!!) or we have to shut down your web page. Sorry ?about that [EMAIL PROTECTED]" To be honest, at first I assumed that this was somebody's practical joke, so I checked the source code of the e-mail and, to my surprise, it did come from Cybercities. On the very same day Cybercities disabled my account and erased all of my files. That was it. Somebody must have really spooked them. Cybercities did not reply to any of my e-mails regarding the termination of my Web site." --- TiM Ed.: Welcome to the Big Brother's (not Uncle Sam's) United States of America. ------------ NOTE: To cancel the e-mail editions of our reports, just reply REMOVE or UNSUBSCRIBE, followed by the e-mail address at which you're receiving them. ---- Bob Djurdjevic TRUTH IN MEDIA Phoenix, Arizona e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We are about to go on a Journey.
