La Voz de Aztlan
Los Angeles, Alta California - September 23, 2002 - (ACN) Our readers
and subscribers who have been with us since we first published our
premiere issue on January 1, 2000 are well aware of the numerous
attempts by Zionists to permanently silence La Voz de Aztlan. These
extraordinary efforts by U.S. based, as well as by Israeli, Zionists
are a consequence of our editorial policy that questions U.S. military
aid to Israel provided for the purpose of enforcing the brutal
occupation of Palestine. We are sad to report that their efforts to
deny us our First Amendment Rights, as written in the U.S.
Constitution, may have taken a more sinister approach.
The cowardly attempts by the Zionists to silence us have each time
escalated to the point that they have now become clearly criminal in
nature. At first the attempts were out in the open and consisted in
simply applying political pressure on our publisher and staff through
the arm twisting of Mexican-American elected officials and of
officials in national Mexican-American organizations to force them to
issue condemnations against La Voz de Aztlan. This phase produced a
strongly written letter from Los Angeles County Supervisor Gloria
Molina, a nationally published condemnation by the National Counsel,
Thomas Saenz, of the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund
(MALDEF) and a condemnation published on the website of the National
Council of La Raza (NCLR) authored by its National President Raul
Yzaguirre. In addition, during this phase, the ADL of B'nai B'rith and
the Zionist front organization called the Southern Poverty Law Center
(SPLC) published a series of lies against La Voz de Aztlan that were
intended to destroy the credibility of our news and information
service.
The next phase of the Zionists' efforts to undermine La Voz de Aztlan
consisted of utilizing their control of the media to continue their
propagandizing against our publisher and our staff. Here in Los
Angeles they hired two hispanic journalists to write three articles
meant to discredit our news service in the eyes of our own community
and to alert the Jewish community of our existence. These very
negative articles against our publication by their lackey writers were
published in the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles, New Times of
Los Angeles and in the OrangeCountyWeekly. The article that was
published in the Jewish Journal included a Jewish fatwah against La
Voz de Aztlan by the Rabbi Abraham Cooper. In addition, they paid a
writer by the name of Joseph Farah to write a series of articles that
were published on the Internet based WorldNetDaily that were intended
to inflame the anger of Zionists in the USA and in Israel.
The Zionist strategy to "demonize" La Voz de Aztlan in the minds of
their fanatics, cyber terrorists and lackeys has worked in large
measure because we are now the focus of vehemently hateful and vile
criminal attacks by Zionist networks here in the USA and in Israel.
There are now Zionist websites in Israel that list La Voz de Aztlan as
a target for attack and we believe that this is one reason why our
"system firewall" has detected numerous attempts to implant "trojan
computer viruses" on our hard disk as well as numerous attempts to
"hack" into our system. These attacks are designed to intimidate us,
to frighten us and to terrorize us into silence.
Some examples of the more vile and sinister attacks against our
publisher and staff have been reported to the police but nothing has
come of the investigations. The first was the mailing of a letter in
an envelope that included a suspicious "yellowish powder" addressed to
our publisher. The letter arrived during the "Anthrax Scare" and
alluded to the "illustrious history of Jews in biological research".
The second incident occurred when we received an e-mail with a picture
(gif) attachment. The picture was of our publisher taken with a
telescopic lens. It had been taken, unbeknownst to our publisher, a
few days before and included a warning to "beware".
Ever since the ADL of B'nai B'rith and the Zionist media has targeted
La Voz de Aztlan, we have been the recipients of a steady barrage of
hateful and extremely vile e-mail and other spam designed to harass
us. We have fought back by installing a very effective "spam killing
program" and by going after vulnerable Zionists that use their
employers' e-mail servers to do their dirty work. One bigot from TRW
Incorporated got fired when she was caught "in flagrante delicto"
sending a threatening e-mail from her desk at TRW to La Voz de Aztlan.
The same thing happened to another employee at, of all places,
Lockheed Martin Corporation, the company that builds the F-16 fighter
planes that are being utilized to bomb Palestinian civilians. Just
recently we received another crude and poisonous e-mail from a Rick
Lovisolo who is a Vice President of NEC Corporation out of Sacramento,
Alta California. NEC Corporation is actually a company based in Tokyo,
Japan but they hire Zionists and Zionist sympathizers here in the USA.
In addition to all of the above, the Zionists have made a lot of
trouble for us with our various Internet Service Providers and Web
Host Providers requiring us to move our accounts around costing us
great expense, effort and time. This they do by sending out "fake"
e-mails in our name which causes unsuspecting Internet users to
complain to our Internet service providers. One incident occurred with
a Web Hosting Service named Hostex. The Chief Executive of Hostex
demanded that we removed two articles from our website that pointed to
who the Anthrax terrorists may really be. At that time, the Zionist
media was blaming "Islamic terrorists" but we wrote an article
"Anthrax Terrorists May Be Zionists" which questioned this premise.
The Chief Executive of Hostex demanded that we remove this and another
article or face the cancellation of our account. At the same time,
Hostex was over-billing our account and utilizing other pressure
techniques requiring that we move to a more friendlier Web Host
Provider. The Chief Executive of Hostex stated to us that he was being
pressured in turn by his "upstream Internet provider" to cancel our
account.
This brings us to the most recent and related incidents that have
occurred during the last several days. These incidents concern Verizon
Communications which provides the telephone lines to our Internet
Service Provider for our DSL connection. Verizon was formed by the
merger of Bell Atlantic and GTE and is one of the world's largest
providers of wireline and wireless communications in the United
States. This company has a complete monopoly in Southern California
and no one here in our area can get an Internet connection without
having to use their wires. A series of occurrences resulting in La Voz
de Aztlan losing our essential DSL/Internet connection leads us to
believe that Zionists or Zionist sympathizers within Verizon may be
involved. We believe that this is just another step in their endless
attempts to sabotage our news and information service.
The incidents that included three separate visitations on different
days to our office by three different persons claiming to be Verizon
personnel created suspicion in us when our DSL modem suddenly lost
connection to their telephone central office two days after their
third visit. We had not had any problems since the initial connection
more than two years ago. The Verizon personnel said they were there to
fix a problem on the telephone line belonging to another of their
clients but needed access through our property. These Verizon people
did not look like regular technicians.
On the day we lost connection, we immediately called our Internet
Service Provider. The ISP spent hours attempting to troubleshoot the
problem. The ISP technical support person finally determined that it
was a Verizon problem. He made a conference call to Verizon DSL. After
some significant arguing between them, the Verizon technician was able
to immediately re-establish the connection. We asked Verizon what the
problem had been and expressed concerns to both our ISP and Verizon of
the possibility that our connection was being tempered with from
inside Verizon at which point Verizon wanted to stop the conference
call that included our ISP and La Voz de Aztlan. We asked to speak to
Verizon Security in order to relay our concerns. This morning we had a
lengthy discussion with Verizon Internal Security. We have not had
further problems with our DSL connection since it was re-established
four days ago.
Our experience has shown us that there are Zionists and Zionist
sympathizers working inside America's corporations such as those that
were caught at TRW Incorporated, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and NEC
Corporation. These three were only a nuisance in that they merely sent
obnoxious and repugnant hate e-mail to the La Voz de Aztlan. These
incidents do not really concern us that much. What really concerns us,
however, is the more direct attempts and actions that are being
escalated each time that their previous efforts fail.
What also concerns us is the apparent impunity that is afforded to
those that are perpetuating the most serious and criminal offenses
against our publication. If the same incidents that we have
experienced happened to the publisher or editor of the New York Times
or any other mainstream news service, there would be a thorough
investigation and great efforts made to apprehend the culprits. This
lack of effort to enforce the law on criminal Zionists is just another
example of the control over the government, law enforcement and over
the judicial system that these Zionists now have. We now face extreme
dangers from certain elements within our society that are actually
working for the interests of Zionist Israel. They are, in the process
of consolidating their political and economic control, trampling on
every constitutional right that U.S. citizens have enjoyed. The most
grievous assault has been on the First Amendment, because these
Zionists understand that it is "Freedom of the Press" and "Freedom of
Speech" that presents the greatest obstacle to them ever achieving
total political and economic domination.
