Subject: Re: (Fwd) Child XXX (A facist provocation)


Michael probably has right when he warn us about the possibility this was
used by FBI to intervene on the Net more firmly against freedom of speech
and this garbage may be "the excuse for destroying the Internet as we know
it".
I sincerely don`t think it was an idiot that send the posting to hundreds of
thousands of net users. As Pierre said "it also helps the police to get on the
Net...". Who wants to help the police to persecute fredom of speech on the
Net? The libertarians, anarchists, surrealists, or in general free
citizens ? Of course not. Firstly, the system and the police itself. Second,
the terrorism of any kind, pornographic or political. As it seems to be
proved in Belgium there are people connected to the power envolved on
child pornography and slavery. So...

FBI or not (well, i think portuguese police hasn`t yet any possibility to
make a provocation like that) i am still thinking this was a provocation
against all of us on the Net (ok not only against us on the list here)
in the sense to justify any political interventions against fredom
of expression on next future. The period we live nowadays, with both sides of
the established powers - moralist and bourgeois or fascist of any kind, trying
to impose us a life of fear and apprehension, is particularly favourable
to the persecution against free citizens in everywhere especially against
freedom of expression when sex related matters are envolved.

However, by a collective track or simply posting here our firm positions
against this sort of fascism and terrorism called child pornography we
can`t be indiferent or just considering this as a massive spam not
especially addressed to us here. As on the past we as surrealist must clearly
denounce these abject persons who are running very close to the power and
still remain to defend love on freedom.
Probably the histeria on the USA concerning anything related with childhood
sexuality is a simple stage of the dangerous game they are playing with
people. Also it`s a fact that childreens are suffering a real danger (not
fiction anymore) on the hands of these porno-killers. It`s a fact
that by a very serious and understandable reason Pierre decided to remove
the photos of their own childrens from the home page. If we simply, as
free citizens, don`t denounce this firmly that histeria will change in panic
and very soon we all will be forced to live under a new kind of totalitarism
very close to barbarity. (thanks Pierre to remind nazis and very sorry for
what happened with your parents)

So, addressed to us or not, we must remain to discuss all the matters as
we want, sexual or not sexual, fighting all those that are intenting
to censor discussion of sexual related matters, pornographic or not but
also fighting those who colaborate with power in the persecution against
freedom of speech, no matter if they hidden behind a "pornographic"
spirit but acting as the "dark side" of another moralism not less
reactionary than the previous.

Love in freedom
