The Imperial Orgy accused of racism and
religious impropriety!
The Imperial Orgy was refused access to the information highway
when the New York based company Website Host refused to host
The Orgy's multimedia web site.
Jonathan Cousar of Website Host in an email to The Orgy stated
that he found their web site "to be religious (sic) offensive..
and racist." In a second email he stated, "We will not host a site
that mocks the God we believe in."
Caeser Pink responded to the accusation in a recent interview,
"This is clearly a case of political and religious
discrimination. Because this man disagrees with our beliefs
he is trying to suppress them. Mr. Cousar assumes that the
word 'God' automatically refers to Jesus Christ. He would do
well to realize that 'God' is a title that every religion
applies to their own deity."
Also in his email to The Orgy, Mr. Cousar explained his
charges of racism, "We do not approve of using the word
nigger, even if it is a black person doing so."
Concerning these charges Pink argued, "The word 'nigger' was
used in an article that was clearly against racism. By the
same logic groundbreaking television shows such as 'Roots'
and 'All In The Family' would never be allowed because they
used the word nigger while trying to enlighten people about
racial issues. The politically correct climate has become
irrational. People such as Mr. Cousar are moving us backwards
instead of forward with their fascist censorship tactics."
The Orgy's content driven site is designed to be an interactive
journey of self discovery. The site contains weighty articles
on psychology, politics, existentialism, sociology, and
anthropology. The philosophical outlook is based heavily on
Eastern metaphysics, Western paganism and Goddess worship.
"The world wide web is a sort of wild west at this time," Pink
summarized. "It's still unregulated and there is a lot of
focus on how these battles over censorship on the web play
out because they will set the precedence. As the web becomes
commercialized it is more likely that censorship will come from
corporations who will control the web than from the government,
as is the case with our site. Those who control the media
control the flow of ideas.
"Most of the battles over web censorship deal with pornography.
Our situation is specifically concerned with the suppression of
free speech, and religious and political ideas; a much more
Orwellian danger to American liberty"
