David Keene And The
American Union Scandal: Before FedEx There Was
Immigration
It seems no good deed goes unpunished. Just after your
column exposing the lobbying efforts of UPS to impose
more onerous regulations on Fedex, I discovered that the
FedEx Office
locations in northern Virginia that I use to access the
Internet and
VDARE.COM have
blocked your site and labeled it
“extremist”. Interestingly, I could log onto
American Patrol.
As a cautionary measure, I called
Glenn Spencer to
alert him that his webpage might be the next one taken
down. So far, I have found
the block
at two FedEx/Kinkos stores so far. If VDARE’s articles
are available in an e-mail newsletter format, I would
like to sign up.
Sparks, a transplanted
Californian, works in the technology sector. He writes
that he has watched in disbelief as the illegal alien
problem has metastasized from an indulgence given to
California farmers to a major national problem.

Censorware is a continuing
problem for us, and we are always grateful to readers
who report it—the corporate suppliers usually back off
when threatened by our lawyers. (Reader Sparks tells us
FedEx now seems to have relented). See

these filters.
