The First Amendment. It guarantees my Right to Free Speech. Yet, here we are 6 months later, after I originally brought up the issue of Foehammer.com (sister domain to Foehammer.net) being listed as a ‘hate site’, and it is still unchanged from or has reverted back to “1.Violence/Hate/Racism” categorization by SonicWall, one or the other.
I cannot abide censorship and so I am once again asking that you take a minute and follow the instructions originally listed in the an article here mid-way through 2007:
What? I’m back?
Yes, it sure appears that way. Not only is the Anvil alive and kicking, it’s kicking harder than ever. I have given my old hosting company, LunarPages, the heave-ho, and if you are reading this, then you can be sure that this blog is no longer hosted by anyone that outsources their tech support, that hires people that can’t read, write and speak English fluently and that has hidden agendas within the company to make my life basically Hell on the Blogosphere.
My new hosting company will remain nameless for awhile as I settle in and wipe away the dust of several days of very hard work. Jihad News Feeds and some other web projects of mine still require migration from the old to the new host, so I will still be busily getting all things back to normal over the next few days.
I’m glad to have you back, too, gentle readers. It just wasn’t the same without you.
Oh, and LunarPages? Good riddance. Seriously. I have learned the hard way that you definitely “get what you pay for” in the blogging business. Now I’m willing to pay quite a bit more in order to have my Free Speech actually free.
Hmm. There’s a lesson in there somewhere…
Thank you.
NOTE: The contact form and email addresses typically usable to get in touch with me may not be working while the server gets situated. This will iron itself out as the Net learns to point to the new servers.
RSS, podcasts and the like will also take a few days to re-synch with the site, so please don’t freak out if everything isn’t 100% overnight. The dust will settle soon.
As many of you are aware of by now, I am experiencing problems with the hosting at the Anvil. This has been continuing off and on for months and in recent weeks it has built up a full head of steam.
This may be the last blog entry I make here at the Anvil for many days, so just be prepared. I am being badgered by my hosts with nebulous emails, unexpected service denials, etc., all during a time in my life when I need them the least and am not able to make much sense of what they claim to be the “problem” with the Anvil. In other words, I’m out of patience and short on solutions.

The Blog for a Year contest has ended. I didn’t win, but I’m quite proud of how many votes I received in the short time that I took part. The ratio of votes versus views of my profile was an unbelievable 1:2.76!
The winner was a blogger that goes by the name Absolutely True. It just goes to show you that it’s hard to compete with ‘fluff’ when you’re dealing in ‘bad news.’

The Religion of Peace Needs Our Help! No, not that ‘Religion of Peace.’
This one.
An individual that I refuse to name here again (but many of my regular readers will know of and who’s name may be found quoted below) has targeted the gentle folks at The Religion of Peace in an effort to shut down the site just as he attempted to shut down the Anvil and Jihad Watch and others. The results of this phony reverend’s actions provoked a number of internet companies to incorrectly categorize The Religion of 
Peace. These incorrect categories have caused the site to be listed as a hate site, and consequently blocked by some servers. I know that the accusations made by Sutter, and the various companies are patently false. The Religion of Peace provides accurate facts about Islam – not lies. The site is not racist. Islam is not a race but a political and cultist ideology. The Religion of Peace speaks out against all violence that is directed towards non-Muslims and Muslims alike.
From the editor at TheReligionofPeace.com:
Anyone who has a blog that attempts to defend the west from radical Islam or Marxists knows that they are constantly at risk of being labeled racist, and shut down by individuals and organizations who do not want the truth to be known. The efforts to silence our voices will increase. We are all in this fight together. Therefore, it would be greatly appreciated if all of you would post a notice on your blogs, urging your readers to support The Religion of Peace by sending protest e-mails to the offending companies. Islam and the thought police are coming after all of us. Free speech is in jeopardy. We need to pull together into a strong and united force to combat those who intend to crush us.
I have permission to make this appeal on their behalf and I am happy to do so.
Please write to the email addresses listed below and state clearly that The Religion of Peace – http://www.thereligionofpeace.com (include the url in the e-mails) is against violence, not racist and should be categorized appropriately under labels such as General News, Politics and Religion.

Here is in-depth analysis of the situation and the problem:
This will be old news to many but good news to all. Jihad Watch chief Robert Spencer disclosed news a few days ago that SonicWall has finally lifted the block on his site. For more information on this ongoing fight against censorship of bloggers, I refer you to the intrepid 1389.
I am just about on my way out of the hotel room (no Pinot Noir in mine, Greg) to Dartmouth College for my final Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week talk, but I thought I’d relay some good news I just heard from the crack legal team over at The Becker Law Firm.
Baron Bodissey and the crew at Gates of Vienna blog have declared their project the Counterjihad Calendar for 2008 is done. You can buy your own copy of the calendar from the Gates of Vienna storefront or directly at this link.
The purpose of the calendar is twofold:
1. To enhance a sense of community among the inhabitants of the countries of the West. We can show solidarity with one another even as we remain nationalists within our own countries. The West doesn’t require an artificial and corrupt empire like the EU or the UN to maintain its collective identity. There is something that binds us together, a common heritage that enables us to resist Islamization.

Always on Watch alerted me to GM Roper’s blog being hacked by yet another disgruntled member of the ‘Religion of Peace’, just a day ago.
Part of a statement to the hacker from GM’s Corner:
There is nothing more juvenile, childish and more stupid than a moron who hacks a blogsite just to prove he can. A little while ago that was me, hacked by one Abu Jneya which I have on good authority translates into “Pork Lover,” well, maybe that is not an exact translation.
Are you paying attention? Big Brother Lives.
Help put a stop to idiotic, negligent and often seditionist censorship activities that are dampening down an already beleaguered portion of the Blogosphere — the Anti-Jihad Movement.
See for yourself that “content filtering” is nothing more than privatized censorship.
Stop Blog Censorship!

When I saw the following over at Gates of Vienna (thanks to my Vigilant Freedom Newsletter — if you haven’t already joined other infidels in the 910 Group, do it), I stopped in my tracks. Then I checked the date. Can someone calculate the odds for me that the very same day (August 29th) that I mentioned Regime Change Iran being in my broken links, Gates of Vienna received the following appeal from — Regime Change Iran?
I am writing you with this urgent appeal because you have contributed to our work in support of the Iranian pro-democracy movement in the past.
From my ally over at the 1389blog.com:
We have won one battle!
An Anvil Victory against Censorship: a Victory for All confirms that SonicWALL and Panera Bread will no longer be censoring Foehammer’s Anvil. 1389 would like to thank all of you who participated in this effort.
But the war is far from over. 
“The war is far from over? What’s that supposed to mean?”
It means that this is not the time for us to rest.

I did a check of my links from the front page this morning as a simple matter of good organization and I was unhappy to find that all the Regime Change Iran links have died. I’m not sure when this first happened, but they were working earlier this year. The last known posting that I found is listed in a Google cache of that domain and dated March 30, 2007:
