RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE MESSAGE BOARD CLOSED BY "INFLAMATORY REMARKS. WEB HOST INTIMIDATED BY SECRET SERVICE INQUIRIES RELATED TO WTC ATTACK

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE MESSAGE BOARD CLOSED DOWN BECAUSE OF SECRET SERVICE INQUIRIES. several people called the fbi/secret service and reported that subversives had made remarks supporting the WTC attack on the rage against the machine message board. the informants alleged (wrongly) that the individuals were involved in the planning of the attack.

We've just been informed that Infopop, the company that hosts the Rage Against the Machine messageboard, will no longer donate their services to keep this message board running in light of repeated phone calls they have received from the Secret Service with regards to inflammatory posts on several of the forums. We are endeavoring to correct the situation and get your free exchange of information and ideas up and running as soon as possible.

We thank Infopop for their generosity during the past year.

In the meantime, you can use this messageboard here as a temporary
replacement.

Tom Morello, JK, and Schu.

§This is what governments do

by Judy

Fri, Sep 14, 2001 5:53AM

Governments have done this throughout history in every country. They use chaos to get more power and control. Listen to ALEX JONES at http://WWW.INFOWARS.COM. Oh, they just (coincidentally) got a $50billion terrorist bill passed (just like Oklahoma City Bombing). Also, fear creates conformity. Socialism has always led to feudalism - read "The Incredible Bread Machine."

§Terrorist Bill

They got their terrorist bill passed (just like at Oklahoma City Bombing). So now they will call anyone they want a "terrorist." So if we don't wipe properly when we poop we could be a terrorist - according to the STATE - the worst terrorist throughout history in every country of the world - except SWITZERLAND. Let's get to Switzerland. They use our original U.S.Constitution. Oh, they are trying to censor us right now here. Some "Liberal" is telling us to be "compassionate." That means talk like a Liberal. Don't be honest and direct and really communicate. Talk like them, which means white, middle class, (PC love of "certain" individuals and groups), but not militias or Rush Limbaugh types. So your free IndyMedia is trying to censor - but they learned from their God - the State.

§BLOW JOBS FOR REPRESSED MEN

Freedom now! These repressed silly fools and power-hungry assholes need a good blow-job! Censor this, silly Liberal! Go kiss a tree and kill a logger, lovers of all that is right!

§Secret Service-as in "SS"

The acronym for "Secret Service"is, of course, "SS"!!! Irony??? Or are the Nazis REALLY "back in effect"????

§RAGE for peace

by Will

You guys have a position to promote a peace that is guided by major review of national priorities.

A call for peaceful people to gather and lovingly put capitalism to rest is there for the making.

RATM and others have the media power to help a LOT of young people understand that peace will require a major change in US government. Yes it is big, No it doesn't mean scary things. This transition can be friendly and swift enough to be effective.

It is up to those with media voice (all of us) to stand up and show peace is effective and sustainable.

§I wonder how soon I'll be visited?

As we learn more about the abilities of the fed to watch, remember that there are others who watch the watchers. That's you. What you intend to do is also up to you. Keep talking, keep communicating--but be aware that all your traffic unless it's encrypted is free to be read--and legally. Kinda sucks, huh? Still, since the fed is so good at watching, where were they last week?

§Explain "inflamatory comments"

by Laz

Can someone please explain to me exactly what inflamatory remarks were being made on the RATM message board? With specific examples, if possible.

Thanks.

Peace and Love to All

I guess I need to say "love and peace and all" to get you interested enough to read this.

I love to read all these notes from you people who freely grab all the benefits this horrible country with its money grubbing and war mongering ways has provided you.

On the way to your next protest meeting be sure to carpool in your Jetta.

Peace & love ... and all that"

When people refuse to attend kkk rallys or anti-war rallys they arent censoring are they ? If my tenant burns a cross or US flag on my property, is giving him a thirty day notice to move censorship ? When anyone destroys things I deem important to me, I consider that censorship. If the ramblings of dateless boys aroused by stirring the anger of others is impoortant to you, I guess you can call it censorship.
