My Blog Platforms, a Wordpress Thanks & Adam Flanders

John R. Houk
© September 3, 2018


I operate blogs on three different platforms: Blogger, Wordpress and Overblog. In full disclosure, I’ve always considered my Blogger account (SlantRight 2.0) to be my flagship blog.

The Wordpress blog is the NeoConservative Christian  Right or simply NCCR. Yup, I have some Neoconservative leanings in that I am very supportive in an aggressive Foreign Policy that places American National Interests in preeminence and a very powerful military to backup U.S. National Interests. There was a time I was very supportive of nation-building (similar to post WWII Germany & Japan), believing instilling Western Representative Government would align a former despotic nation with American Interests. BUT since we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq and it became apparent the inherent Muslim populace were more devoted to despotic Islamic Sharia and principles than the concept of Liberty and Freedom, it is now my opinion nations dominated by Islam are incapable of Western values of Free Choice, individual Liberty and inalienable Rights. Ergo, nation-building in nations dominated by Islam or nations that have experienced a Judeo-Christian heritage cannot ever be trained to accept Western Values.

And the blog platform that garners the least attention yet still is amazingly growing is my Overblog location – Ubiquitous8Thoughts. Overblog’s base of operation caters to the EU particularly France and the UK. It fascinates me that Overblog has not enforced the anti-Free Speech laws on my blog which is quite American in expressing Conservative, Biblical and Counterjihad thoughts. If anti-Free Speech censoring ever begins at Ubiquitous8Thoughts, that will be the time my blogging on Overblog will cease.

Now I come to the purpose of this post.

I had cross posted with comment the Mass Resistance exposé on Adam Flanders man/boy sex issue relating to convictions for having homosexual sex with a minor boy in Maine circa 2012. In those posts Mr. Flanders complained to Wordpress that I posted his mug shot from being arrested. Flanders issued a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) infringement notice against me via Wordpress. The Flanders objective was to get the mug shots removed from my blog.

At this point I considered removing the mug shots on my own volition hoping perhaps Flanders had seen the ungodly errors of his way. So I did a simple Google search to see if I could discover what Flanders was up to the six years.

At least the simple look did not show Flanders had any homosexual pedophilia legal issues with the law. However I did discover Flanders has a homosexual activist slant. Here’s how I made that conclusion from a 2017 blog post from Adam Flanders:

Hey! Sunny [Blog Editor:  Adam Edward harland Flanders apparently now goes by Adam Sunny Flanders] here. Check out my site and feel free to contact me. You’ll find links to my resumé, research, digital artwork, and much more. If you'd like me to create something for you, such as a website, CG animation, an LED-lit sign, etc. just ask and we can work something out - my rates are very reasonable. Please visit my company website, Seashore Design for more information and to view my work.

I’m very much a Romantic at heart: “marked by the imaginative or emotional appeal of what is heroic, adventurous, remote, mysterious, or idealized; marked by expressions of love or affection.”

Look to the Western Sky        Monday, June 26, 2017

I've been living in California for a month now and I've been enjoying it very much. The first few weeks were very busy getting a California driver's license and registering my car (which is from here), finding a good gym membership, and taking care of all those other little details. I've been volunteering with the San Diego Zoo and I just started a cool new job in horticulture.

My timing was good - Orange County Pride kicked off last week and they had a fully loaded schedule culminating in the all-night Laguna Beach Party. I've made lots of new friends and I'm looking forward to meeting more!

To be honest, I miss my family and the poms a lot, as well as my friends in Maine and Louisiana. Home is always where the heart is (so maybe I can get them to move out here, hehe). It was a difficult decision to leave, but a big part of me feels like I belong here. I often felt like a square peg in a round hole when I lived in Maine. SoCal values align much better with my own - health conscious people, environmental protection, and science and tech everywhere, not to mention it's so much easier to be a vegetarian here. And no snow! Each region of SoCal has its own subculture, but I'm quickly adapting to life in the OC. (AdamFlanders.com)

Obviously Mr. Flanders is quite devoted to homosexual activism and lifestyle. Logic can suppose Mr. Flanders still has an eye for minor boys which would be much easier to explore in California than in Maine. BUT that is just a presumptive guess and not a fact of knowledge.

Here are the links on NCCR that has 2012 posts on Adam Flanders some of which has his mug shot:

o   Maine Judges Protect Man/Boy Sex; by John R. Houk; NCCR; 6/8/12



And here are the corresponding Mass Resistance links that were either cross posted or a corresponded email alert was cross posted:




In case you’re interested, the Flanders mug shot photo is still up at Mass Resistance.

Nope, I’m not removing the Flanders mug shot from NCCR; however neither am I going to repost it here to further aggravate Mr. Flanders.

Flanders did his best to get his Maine convictions thrown out, even going through Federal Court system. You can read the details of the Federal Court actions including Flanders’ lame excuses of self-defense HERE (Adam E. Flanders v. State of Maine [in Federal Court – 22 page PDF]).

And here is the “Conclusion” judgement by the Federal Judge:

I conclude, as indicated above with respect to each of the claims, that Flanders suffered no violation of his constitutional right to counsel or his right to enter a knowing and voluntary plea. I therefore conclude that the post-conviction court’s decision in conjunction with Flanders’s state postconviction petitions was neither contrary to nor an unreasonable application of federal law. See 28 U.S.C. §2254(d)(1). On that basis, I recommend that this Court deny Flanders relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, with prejudice, and dismiss his federal petitions. I further recommend that certificates of appealability should not issue in the event Flanders files notices of appeal because there is no substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c). (Bold text by Blog Editor)

A resumé is a decent snapshot of history. With that in mind, you can go to AdamFlanders.com to read the Flanders resumé posted there. And here is the Flanders LinkedIn account to glean more info if you choose.


And I need to mention there have been several attempts to hack the NCCR blog to change its password. Is it Flanders? I can’t tell you that, but with the trouble Flanders is trying to cause Wordpress over his mug shots it could be a logical leap of assumption.

To Wordpress’ credit, they have deemed the Adam Flanders DMCA accusations as bogus. Below is the cross post of the Wordpress email notifying me of the issue.

Solid Snake – MassResistance Updates

Solid Snake America
Here are two MassResistance emails forwarded by Solid Snake. The first is an update on the sex offender Adam Flanders suing Brian Camenker without legal standing and the other email is about a revised booklet What same-sex 'marriage' has done to Massachusetts”.

Gay activist suing MassResistance handed big court defeats! But continues threats.

Latest on $1 million lawsuit filed against MassResistance by homosexual activist and convicted sex offender.
1. Convicted sex offender suing MassResistance handed major court defeats!

2. Video site VIMEO removes interview with Brian Camenker of MassResistance after threats by Flanders.  Also LifeSite News and others threatened.

1. Convicted sex offender suing MassResistance handed major court defeats!

Adam Flanders, a Maine homosexual activist and convicted sex offender who is suing Brian Camenker of MassResistance for $1 million claiming "defamation," has received some big defeats in the Maine court system during the past few weeks.
Flanders spent time in jail for sexually molesting a teenage boy and has also been convicted of related offenses.

His lawsuit is an attempt to stop MassResistance's publication of a graphic exposé of a "gay youth" organization, describing drug use, pornography, sexual activity between men and boys, and other activities at the organization's events -- which the activist himself wrote and distributed in 2007.

These groups have been formed across the country are often funded by state money.

In addition, Flanders has threatened the web hosting companies of MassResistance and of numerous other web sites and Internet news agencies that have reported or commented on this incident. 
(1.) Flanders loses his appeal of sex conviction before Maine Supreme Court

A part of Flanders' arsenal against MassResistance has been to state that his conviction for sexually molesting a boy was being appealed, and that before long, the conviction would be overturned by a more reasonable court. Well, it didn't happen that way. On June 28, the Maine Supreme Court issued an order denying Flanders' appeal. The conviction stands. Given the egregious nature of what he did, we're not at all surprised.
(2.) Injunction against MassResistance -- DENIED by judge!

Flanders' strategy has been to contact the web hosting companies of pro-family organizations that post this information threaten them with legal action. A main thrust of Flanders' threats involves the phony "harassment order" he got against Camenker. He has claimed that constitutes an official statement by the State of Maine that simply posting the material is "harassment" and "stalking" against him -- and is thus legally actionable. Most web companies have caved in when faced with that.

But MassResistance's new web host company refused to bend to that threat. The company owner said he won't do anything without an actual court order against MassResistance and Camenker.

So on June 12, Flanders went back to District Court and filed a motion for a "temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction." He even managed to get the same judge that issued the original harassment order to hear this case. A hearing took place on July 9, but we were never notified of it. So the judge held the hearing with Flanders present and no one to represent MassResistance!

But it backfired. This time the judge didn't agree. It's possible that the outrage generated by the phony nature of the original harassment order caused her to look at this more fairly.

The judge flatly denied Flanders' claims that anything MassResistance has posted constitutes either "harassment" or "stalking" against him, or that the "harassment order" implicitly states anything like that.

The judge added:

"Maine may not punish, through criminal sanction, an individual's actions that are protected by the free speech clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution."


From the recent threatening emails that Flanders has sent, it appears that Flanders is ignoring the judge's decision and still making those claims to web companies. We have seen at least two occasions, including the VIMEO incident below.

(3.) Flanders makes second request for injunction--DENIED again by same judge!

The day after the Order Denying Preliminary Injunction, Flanders was back in court again, claiming that our more recent material constituted stalking and harassment against him. The same judge denied it again.
See Flanders' second request, denied by judge
This is a classic part of the homosexual movement's strategy: Keep trying over and over, with a flood of legal attacks, until something sticks.
2. Video site VIMEO removes interview with Brian Camenker of MassResistance after threats by Flanders.  Also LifeSite News and others affected by threatened.

The news of this outrageous new action by the homosexual movement has even reached Canada!

Camenker interviewed on pro-family radio in British Columbia

We got a call from Kari Simpson of
Culture Guard, western Canada's most prominent (and most aggressive!) pro-family organization. They wanted Brian Camenker of MassResistance on their hard-hitting radio program, Road Kill Radio to warn Canadians of the Flanders situation -- what might be in store for them.
Describing themselves as "Family Freedom Fighters" the Road Kill Radio people have been very effective in getting the truth out, in western Canada.

In a country without a First Amendment, that's a pretty big deal!

Flanders threatens Vimeo, which caves in & removes Camenker interview

Each Road Kill Radio show is subsequently made into a video and posted on
Vimeo, an alternative to YouTube on which many news-type groups post their material.

Almost immediately, Flanders contacted VIMEO and threatened them. And Vimeo, which is located in New York City, capitulated in a New York minute! Without any warning, Vimeo removed the interview with Brian Camenker, claiming it was "violating our guidelines."

The Canadians were justifiably outraged, and vowed not to be intimidated. So we stepped in and re-posted it on the MassResistance website! The video of the Road Kill Radio interview with Brian Camenker can still be heard.

VIDEO: You can watch it HERE. The interview with Brian Camenker that was banned by Vimeo.

Road Kill Radio subsequently contacted Flanders offering to interview him and let him tell his side of the story.  He emailed them back declining the offer, and he threatened to sue them. In his email he mentioned his $1 million "defamation" lawsuit against MassResistance, which he said he is "confident" he will win.
Contact Vimeo:   If anyone's content can be removed because a homosexual activist decides to issue a threat, then no one is safe. Let Vimeo know that they can no longer be trusted, and why you won't ever use them. You can email them at rights@vimeo.com.

Flanders threatens LifeSiteNews - which DIDN'T back down!
Earlier we reported that WorldNetDaily did two news articles on the Flanders incident. When Flanders subsequently threatened them, they caved in and removed the articles from their site. (They are still removed!)

So when LifeSiteNews started reporting on this, Flanders immediately threatened them and their hosting company. But LifeSiteNews believes in the First Amendment and along with their web host company refused to cave in. Not only that, they have done MORE research on Flanders and his sordid criminal background.

LifesiteNews responded to Flanders' threats by stating that they won't be intimidated.

LifeSiteNews Screen Capture in Case Removed
LifeSiteNews Screen Capture in Case Removed

LifeSiteNews is to be commended for its bravery. Here are the three articles they've done so far on this issue:


More websites threatened by Flanders

Americans For Truth.
  When Peter LaBarbera, president of
Americans for Truth about Homosexuality (AFTAH) heard about the threats against MassResistance, he offered to stand with us and post Flanders' material directly on his site also.  Sure enough, Flanders threatened his web hosting company. But after the company got a very strongly worded letter from Peter's lawyer, they decided that Flanders wasn't worth pandering to! Bravo, Peter, for your principled stand!

Website in Saskatchewan. Last week we got a call from a man in Saskatchewan. His group,
Free North America
had posted material on this issue, and Flanders had threatened his web hosting company, which was about to take his site down. But he wasn't backing down, either. He's talked his web host into ignoring Flanders, and vowed to fight to the finish! You gotta love those Canadians.

3. Thomas More Society, national pro-family legal group, steps up to represent MassResistance in $1 million lawsuit.

Some GREAT news: The Thomas More Society, a renowned national pro-family legal group based in Chicago, contacted us and offered to defend Brian Camenker and MassResistance in the $1 million "defamation" lawsuit. They have already gotten started and we are extremely pleased.

This isn't going to be easy, but we're confident we're in good hands. Over the years the Thomas More legal team has done some very impressive work in the pro-family arena, and they are unabashedly aggressive when they need to be.

Other legal groups

We also were contacted by early on by
Liberty Counsel and recently by the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF). Both groups declined to take on the lawsuit, but have offered to help in other ways if called on. This past week Liberty Counsel did some background research on some of the legal issues.

The homosexual movement's emerging strategy to crush free speech

We're seeing that the national pro-family legal community has recognized that this new strategy by the homosexual movement is dangerous and must be stopped. Their aggressive and often fraudulent use of any possible legal device or threat to silence and destroy pro-family opposition to their activities, mixed with friendly courts, is truly frightning. What's happening to MassResistance -- and also to
Scott Lively
-- is clearly the vanguard of a new effort that could have terrible consequences.  It needs to be effectively countered immediately.

4. Local police chief backs off on statements supporting Flanders.

We recently reported that Flanders' signed statement in his lawsuit includes quotes from his local police chief in Belfast, Maine Chief of Police Michael McFadden, stating that Flanders' conviction for Sexual Abuse of a Minor is "very minor" and "equivalent to stealing a candy bar." Flanders has also been emailing an audio recording of McFadden making those comments. In addition, Flanders states in his lawsuit that Chief McFadden told him that they are investigating Camenker to see if they can charge him with criminal acts.

When we talked with McFadden several weeks ago, he would not discuss any of his statements attributed to him by Flanders.

So on July 18, Chief McFadden talked with a reporter from LifeSiteNews to give his side of the story. McFadden said he received a lot of negative feedback from around the country about it.
He told LifeSiteNews
that his comments regarding the Flanders' conviction were made while attempting to elicit a confession from Flanders (who subsequently got the audio recording of that session in the police station) and do not reflect the police chief's actual beliefs about the case in any way. McFadden added that he never said anything to Flanders about investigating Camenker about criminal acts.

We'll see what happens when all this moves forward.

What 'gay marriage' has done to Massachusetts - new version of shocking booklet!

Sent by Solid Snake
Sent: Aug 1, 2012 at 11:00 PM
From: MassResistance.org

What SSM has done to MA Bk Jk

MassResistance releases new, updated version of shocking booklet: "What same-sex 'marriage' has done to Massachusetts".
We have released our new, expanded version of "What same sex 'marriage' has done to Massachusetts." This booklet exposes the shocking and outragous changes that have taken place throughout society in Massachusetts since the infamous Goodridge court ruling.

Most people don't know what really happens when "gay marriage" is imposed on the people of a state. And the homosexual lobby wants to keep it that way. As elections are about to take place on "gay marriage" in four states this fall, and as legislators in others are poised to impose it on their citizens, people are woefully in the dark on this issue.

The new version - over twice as big!

Over twice as big as the previous version, it documents more shocking, outrageous things that most people even in Massachusetts don't know about.

Official MA Marriage Cert
This is now the official marriage certificate in Massachusetts!

What citizens across the country don't know can hurt them! MassResistance reveals what "gay marriage" has brought to Massachusetts over the last eight years. It should be required reading for every voter in a state where "gay marriage" is on the ballot, or is being debated in their legislature.

This includes: The homosexual propaganda that children are now force-fed in the public schools. Businesses that can no longer operate according to their religious principles. Draconian government tribunals punishing those who disagree. Disastrous (and expensive) public health problems. Radical changes to employment and family law. Tax dollars funding more "gay" programs. Doctors in hospitals who are threatened with firing if they raise medical concerns about homosexual behavior. And the escalation to "transgender rights and hate crimes" laws.

There are sections on:

* The public schools
* Public health
* Hospitals
* Domestic violence
* Business and employment
* Legal profession and judicial system
* Adoption and birth certificates

* Government mandates
* The public square
* Churches being harassed
* The media
* Politics
* Rule of law
* And more.

For example: Most people across America don't know that in 2007 a federal judge ruled that because of "gay marriage" in Massachusetts, schools have an obligation to present homosexuality as normal -- even in elementary school -- and parents have no right to opt out or even be informed of what their kids are being taught.
 
You can read it (and download it) HERE.
(You can also buy copies in booklet form)

Over the past week we've made it available to activists in Illinois, where the legislature is dealing with this issue. The Illinois Family Institute is preparing to send copies to every Illinois state legislator.

And earlier this week, it was passed out at a big meeting/marriage information rally in Maryland.

Education Justifying Gay Lifestyle

This book, which uses stories and pictures to portray homosexual relationships to young children as completely normal, was given to kindergarteners in Lexington, Mass. When parents objected, the school overruled them and a federal judge agreed, citing the recognition of "gay marriage" in the state.









The original version - used by pro-family citizens from Hawaii to Maine!
Back in October 2008, the Proposition 8 campaign in California -- to stop same-sex "marriage" -- was getting tight. A group of activists in California contacted MassResistance and asked us to give them some ammunition to use in the fight across the state. "We want some facts that we can show people about what this really does," they asked us. "What can you tell us about what happened in Massachusetts?"

We put together an article, which became a pamphlet, documenting how same-sex "marriage" had already affected Massachusetts. We sent it to them and others around the country. It quickly caught fire! Thousands of copies were distributed as fast as people could print or email them. Within days we were on the radio across California and also in Florida, which was also having a marriage referendum. Activists told us that in our information made a difference in getting the word out!

After those 2008 elections, it continued to be used in other states as more "same-sex marriage" issue came up across the country.

Here are a few more examples of where that original pamphlet was used:

Iowa: Our pamphlet was distributed across the state. One person published it as a full-page ad in a local newspaper. Subsequently, three pro-"gay marriage" judges were voted out of office!

Hawaii: In February 2009 a major "civil unions" bill was up before the Hawaii legislature. We supplied the pamphlet to activists and also legislators. The bill was killed. The following year a Hawaii state senator phoned to thank us for providing the material to successfully stop a "gay marriage" bill in his committee.

Maine: The week before the November 2009 referendum which overturned their new "gay marriage" law, a printout of the pamphlet was mailed to 200,000 homes across the state. We also held a press conference that final week in the Maine State House with activists, further highlighting the information in the pamphlet.

Rhode Island: In March, 2011, a "gay marriage" bill was brought up in the Rhode Island Legislature. Activists brought us to the hearing. We testified and then gave a copy to all the legislators, and also helped activists use the information. The bill was defeated.
Maryland: In March 2011 activists distributed the pamphlet and used the information in their successful effort to stop a "gay marriage" bill in the legislature. (Unfortunately, it was brought up again this year and passed. So activists are now getting signatures for a state-wide referendum this November to overturn it!)

It's also been used in New Hampshire, New York, Illinois, and other states.

Don't let the homosexual movement hide the truth!

Homosexual activists like to say to people across the country that "the sky didn't fall" in Massachusetts. Well, read if for yourself. We can't stress enough how the long-term effects of imposing "gay marriage" force offensive and destructive changes on society. We hope this new version helps educate people even more!

Please support MassResistance and our efforts to educate America!

Be a part of the battle. Help us keep fighting back!

Especially now, we need your financial support. Everyone donating to MassResistance over the next week (August 1-7) will get a free booklet! (What better summer reading is there?) THANK you. Who else does what we do?

MassResistance.com was Forced to Another Webhost by Flanders

Adam Flanders
John R. Houk
© June 22, 2012

MassResistance.com has been exposing the heinous homosexual sex offender Adam Flanders much to his chagrin. Flanders and his homosexual legal team have been trying to combat MassResistance’s exposé by a tactic undoubtedly learned from Radical Muslims known as Lawfare. The Lawfare tactic is to smother a defendant with litigation to the point the legal fees make the defendant go broke even if or especially if his writing is the truth.

In MassResistance’s case I cross posted about the legal games of homosexual Adam Flanders and Lawfare homosexuals’ activists directly after my thoughts entitled, “Maine Judges Protect Man/Boy Sex.”

I now find out for awhile MassResistance’s website was shut down by homosexual activist complaints. MassResistance even reports that usually staunchly Conservative web news site WND backed away from reporting on Adam Flanders because of threats of litigation. Homosexual Flanders has taken the practice of SWATing to a new level by utilizing Leftist activist Judges like Maine’s District Judge Patricia G. Worth to take false information to execute a restraining order against Brian Camenker of MassResistance. As I wrote above I cross posted the MassResistance version in the link above. HERE is an independent report by Gina Miller at Renew America that backs up the MassResistance version.

SWATing began as a prank by Leftists against Conservative Bloggers and Pundits. SWATing has evolved into a practice in which Leftists attempt to intimidate Conservatives for writing anti-Leftist material. Leftists would call 911 and cops would show up at a Conservative’s home guns raring to blaze until it was discovered it was a prank. You can see how the prank can get out of hand and out of hand translates into intimidation to prevent Free Speech.

"SWAT-ing" refers to a hoax in which an anonymous prankster falsely reports a violent crime at an unsuspecting person's home, prompting a police team to respond to the location believing a dangerous situation is at hand.

The illegal practice has in recent months targeted well-known conservative writers and commentators, including Erick Erickson, founder of the blog RedState.com -- who claims he was eating dinner with his family in May when a SWAT team surrounded his home following such a false 911 call.

The growing trend, which some say could one day prove deadly, had conservatives on edge at the annual RightOnline conference of right-wing bloggers and activists in Las Vegas this weekend. (Conservative bloggers taking precautions over ‘SWAT-ing’ attacks; By Cristina Corbin; June 17, 2012; Fox News)

GOP Sen. Saxby Chambliss is taking up the cause of a number of conservative bloggers who claim they have been targeted and harassed with such tactics as 'SWAT-ing' where 911 emergency teams are sent to a blogger's house.

The harassment has allegedly happened in retaliation for what they have written and Chambliss has asked Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate, according to
ABC News.

“I am writing with concern regarding recent reports that several members of the community of online political commentators have been targeted with harassing and frightening actions. Any potentially criminal action that incites fear, seeks to silence a dissenting opinion, and collaterally wastes the resources of law enforcement should be given close scrutiny at all levels,” Chambliss wrote, according to the report.

“Regardless of any potential political differences that may exist, threats and intimidation have no place in our national political discourse. Those who choose to enter into that political discourse should not have to worry about potential threats to their or their family’s safety,” Chambliss continued. “While I am certain that local law enforcement is reviewing each of these instances, I am asking you to please look into each of these cases as well to determine if any federal laws may have been violated. Future targets of SWAT-ting, whether engaged in political speech or not, may not be so fortunate as to escape physical harm.” (

Below is a forwarded MassResistance email from friend Solid Snake that reveals the details of homosexual lawfare against being exposed. I am posting the email because the MassResistance post is slightly different and can be read HERE.

1. MassResistance web site shut down after homosexual activist threatens web hosting company -- and company caves in! Latest in vicious (and illegal) "swat" campaign against conservatives.

The MassResistance website was completely shut down last week after a homosexual activist and convicted sex offender threatened the web hosting company, and the company caved in. Although the site has finally come back up, (after nearly three days of being down) the activist has now sent a threat to the owner of the owner of MassResistance's new hosting company.

Taken down by hosting company: Starting on Monday afternoon this is what people saw when they went to the MassResistance website.

MassResistance Look after Taken Down

Adam Flanders is a well-known homosexual activist in Maine who has been convicted of molesting a 14-year-old boy and is a registered sex offender. In January 2007, Flanders wrote and publicly distributed a shocking letter describing the sexual acting out at a "gay youth" organization, including adult men having sex with boys. Flanders delivered the letter to local police departments, the local media, and pro-family groups. Now, five years later, Flanders had a change of heart and wants it removed from pro-family sites that have posted it. He has intimidated every pro-family group  into removing it -- except MassResistance.

"Gay youth clubs" run by adults in schools and in communities are the worst nightmare of every parent with a vulnerable child. We have worked with parents who agonized terribly over their kids' involvement with them. Flanders' letter was an important revelation of what had been long suspected -- and Flanders now realizes that. (Interesting, the letter is also still posted on at least one local Maine news site but since they are not "pro-family" Flanders has ignored it.)

But as our readers know, MassResistance has a long history of not backing down to threats from homosexual activists regarding material we've exposed.

The vicious "SWATing" tactics now being used against conservatives

Known as "SWATing," Flanders' action can be seen as
part of a disturbing new strategy being used around the country to stifle free speech by viciously harassing conservative web sites, bloggers, and writers, by going after the individuals personally. This includes threats, frivolous lawsuits, false police crime reports, phony harassment filings, other various acts of terror and intimidation. Flanders has filed a false harassment complaint in a Maine District Court against Brian Camenker of MassResistance, personally, and the judge unbelievably agreed to the restraining order! In Massachusetts, a far-left pro-homosexual group has filed a lawsuit against Pastor Scott Lively for international "crimes against humanity" because of his pro-family activism.

Flanders has indicated in his emails that he is working in concert with radical homosexual groups around the country.

Web hosting company for MassResistance site caves in

On Monday afternoon, June 11,
HostExcellence, located in Kentucky, decided to accommodate Flanders' demand that they shut us down. The MassResistance website -- which has been up for nearly 15 years -- suddenly disappeared from the Internet.

Despite the fact that we had been hosted by HostExcellence for nearly eight years without any problems, the company was resolute. When HostExcellence began getting threats from Flanders they ordered us to take the material down or be shut down. We were contacted by Craig Witten, who works in the company's legal department, with that directive. (Strangely, we were first told he was a lawyer, then they said he's not a lawyer.) We explained to Witten the background of the situation, but he told us that doesn't matter. He said that shutting us down is simply a business decision. The company doesn't want to risk getting into a legal fight with those people, he said.

We suggested to Witten that by siding with a sex offender against a pro-family group helping parents, the company risks angering other pro-family people across the country, and sending a message that people's sites aren't safe from the ire of radicals like Flanders. Witten said that wasn't a concern of theirs. He added that the decision was final, and there's no one else at the company that we, or anyone, could talk to further about it. (This policy apparently reflects the sentiments of company president, Fathi Said.)

Threat to owner of MassResistance's new web hosting company

By Wednesday evening we had found a new hosting company and had finished most of the painstaking task of restoring the large MassResistance website onto its servers.

As soon as the new site was up, Flanders traced the server addresses to identify the company. He then sent two chilling personal emails to the owner, also located in New England. The first email contained a series of legal fabrications about MassResistance. In the second email, Flanders listed the company owner's full name, his home address, and his business address. (It was clearly meant to frighten him.) Flanders said he was giving him 24 hours to take down the MassResistance site. Flanders also threatened that he would begin various immediate legal actions against the owner personally, saying he was "personally culpable" and would be seeking "personal damages" from him.

The new web hosting company's owner is a committed Christian, and so far is standing tall on this. He knows that Flanders has no actual legal basis for his claims. But Flanders' range of threats and enraged intimidation tactics are naturally very worrisome to him and his family, to say the least.

Fighting back: Liberty Counsel steps up to help MassResistance!

As soon as word had gotten out that HostExcellence was considering shutting down MassResistance site, we got a call from Richard Mast, an attorney at
Liberty Counsel!
Liberty Counsel is a preeminent pro-family pro-bono law firm that has done great work around the country.

This past week Attorney Mast has put in a lot of work on behalf of MassResistance. He sent a strongly worded letter to the company president outlining the legal risks of their action against MassResistance, and has since spoken to a "real" attorney there. (We'll see what happens.) He has also communicated with authorities in Maine regarding Flanders, and is helping us with legal strategies to deal with him and his actions.

Local Maine attorney needed now for this: Help us find one!

From research so far, Flanders has likely broken a number of state and possibly federal laws in his harassment actions and abuse of the legal process. And his outrageous and frivolous harassment suits (which he's continuing to file) need to be confronted.
But unless we have attorneys to do this, it won't get done.
There's only so much Liberty Counsel can do (or has the time to do) from its offices in Florida and Washington, DC. Someone is who is aggressive and knowledgeable is needed on the ground in Maine to get the job done there, in the courtroom. This is an immediate need because we must move fast.

To our supporters in Maine: please help with this if you can.

(There is actually one "pro-family" attorney that national groups have used a lot. But we talked to him at length. He takes a fairly moderate approach to these issues, and is on not too interested in fighting this. We've seen too much of that among "pro-family" attorneys, unfortunately.)

Conservative media picks up on story

This story is starting to pick up steam. On both Monday and Tuesday, MassResistance was interviewed on the Bryan Fischer show on the
American Family Association radio network. We were also interviewed on the Dr. Michael Brown Show,
also syndicated across the country. Later that week were on radio in Maine.

Interviewed by American Family Association Radio on website shut down:



In addition, WorldNetDaily did two articles on this last week -- but unfortunately both have been taken down (See #2 below.)
The time to fight back is now!

The pro-family movement has a long history
of simply taking a defensive posture when confronted by radical activists. That has not served us well. At best, it temporarily "holds the line." Left-wing groups like GLAD and the ACLU, on the other hand, are always hyper-aggressive and willing to take us on with every creative strategy they can think of. The "gay marriage" decisions and the legal attack on DOMA are just two recent examples, also going back to the removal of all religious expression from schools.

You can take this to the bank: If Flanders is allowed to get away with this, his radical cohorts across the country will soon all be doing the same, and much worse. The time to fight is now.

In fact, the First Amendment covers legitimate news reporting and political opinion for everyone -- even if homosexual activists don't like it. Or, at least it's supposed to.

Soon after our site went down our office got a phone call from a web hosting country in a foreign country across the ocean. They said they'd be happy to host us if it's become too dangerous in America. We're thinking seriously about it. But has it really come to that?


2. WorldNetDaily removes articles reporting this incident after receiving threats from homosexual activist! A sad day for the "free" press.

As conservative news sites go, we have always held WorldNetDaily in very high regard. They bill themselves as a "Free Press for a Free People" and they have lived up to that. Over the years they have covered numerous cutting-edge MassResistance activities that others only covered afterwards. And we love reading their "Whistleblower" monthly magazine.

But their recent action is very troubling.

On Tuesday, June 12, WorldNetDaily published an article on Flanders' actions against MassResistance titled, "'Gay' activist uses 'SWAT' to silence critics." The following day, Wednesday, they posted another article about our site being taken down, titled, "Web company censors 'public' letter." They were thorough, well-written articles.

Then on Thursday, they were both missing from the WorldNetDaily site. We finally were able to speak to someone at WorldNetDaily who admitted that Flanders had contacted them and had made various claims and legal threats. So WorldNetDaily took them down . . . until further notice.

Someone retrieved the articles from the Google cache and sent them to us. Here's what WorldNetDaily removed from its site:



It seems that even exposing Obama is considered less risky for the conservative media than this. Why does our side cower before the homosexual bullies?



3. MassResistance needs your support now. Be a part of the fight!.

This past week has been pretty tough. MassResistance is the only group that didn't back down to the threats, intimidation, and harassment from the homosexual movement.

Our website got shut down over it. We worked around the clock and got it back up in less than three days. And the assault continues. The homosexual movement wants to destroy us more than ever.

But in these times, keeping you informed about the often horrible truth is preeminently important.

Please consider a generous donation to help us offset the costs we've encountered and to help us continue fighting back stronger than ever. We don't have a board of directors of rich businessmen. We depend on you.

4. Camenker of MassResistance addresses Plymouth Rock Tea Party, also speaks at MARA breakfast.

MassResistance continues to be in demand for speaking engagements across the state spreading the word on a number of critical issues that don't get reported by the mainstream media. But in particular, people want to know about the homosexual (and transgender) agenda in the public schools that no one else is exposing or even talking about.
 
On Sunday, June 3, Brian Camenker of MassResistance spoke at the "Politics and Eggs" breakfast at the Mildred F. Jefferson Chapter of the Massachusetts Association of Republican Assemblies (MARA) in Fall River. In contrast to most of the GOP establishment across the country, the Republican Assemblies proudly call themselves the "Republican wing of the Republican Party."
