Odd E-Mail - Strange to me..

[Xvall]

I don't know who sent this to me,
Or if I signed up to a newsletter or what? But I got this message in the E-Mail just now. A seemingly Pro-Imperialistic Anti-Communist/Anarchis message. Specifically to me by some website or something. I don't know.. Make what you like of it.... Might just be a load of crap... -----

"The destruction of Americas subversive elements has begun. Communists and other anarchists are at the top of the list. A Special Advisory board to the Federal Beareau of Investigation has determined that communism is once again a very real threat to the United States. As a result of their findings The Red Star Protocol is now in effect for all Federal agencies. The FBI is working in conjunction with the DIA, ATF, DOD, Homeland Defense, US Army, US AirForce, US Navy, US Marine Corps, US Coastgaurd, COG Program, DARPA, A6, MJ12, NSC, and the NRO to route out suspected agitators and subversives. Any links to any communist organizations will be examined in detail. Any links to outspoken and/or prominant communists will be examined. Any references to the purchase, use, or possession of anarchist books, movies, pamphlets, documents, emails, or other related materials will be investigated. To aid their search the Federal Government has given government agencies the authority !
to tap 5 million phone lines and examine the records of leading telephone corporations. The noose is tightening on the enemies of freedom in these troubled times. The American people, and their way of life, will be protected."

maybe its some kind of joke <<sik joke>>

[tomunderm]

I dont believe they have the time nor the money to validate that threat. Besides it is unconstitutional if Im wrong martyrdom here we (or just me) come as we build the houses skyscrapers entertainment venues offices government buildings bridges churches hell anything real and tangible that requires human hands to bring into existence.

Maybe its not thier real e-mail, you can fake it easily by connecting to certain mail servers on telnet on port 25, check your mailbox.

It's probably a hoax. And even if it weren't, at this point in my life, I wouldn't care if someone in my own goverment were looking at my files trying to work out whether I were 'the enemy' of their imperialism. I know I am the enemy, have been so for a long time now, and for that I say bring it on. The fight was begun a long time ago, no reason to stop now, short of the Earth exploding. Che Vive.

it is unconstitutional

When has the Constitution ever stopped secret government black missions

[sabre]

it has spelling errors, the gov't wouldnt mis-spell coastguard. Its probly a cappie from this board trying to creep you out

[Moskitto]

you can use Sendmail or STMP to email things from other people. I've got a friend who emails messages seemingly from Bill Gates to people who've got illegal MS software. It's not to hard if you know what you're doing.

I really don't think those assholes in d.c. have the resources now to start investigating us commies. Since September 11th they're more buisy tapping islamic organizations. Besides, why has communism become a threat just now?

So the whole thing is just a fucking stupid sick joke

[Fires of History]

Drake,

Don't sweat it. First of all, I agree that it's a hoax by someone trying to just bother you.

Secondly, it's not illegal to be Communist. I firmly expect for their to be some interesting freedom of speech cases as a result of this 'Patriot Act.'

This is not an 'official' letter of any sort.

And if it was, which is isn't, why would anyone want to warn the enemy?

I was planning on doing it to cause a massive split in the racist movement.

Except on closer thought, this might not be a good idea if it causes the US government to collapse to right-wing guerillas and the US turns into something like warlord China fought between right-wing deathsquads. Although, it might make Americans realise that it is the right wing who are enemies of democracy not the left wing.
