INSIGHT BROADBAND DENIES ACCESS TO WEBSITES
September 8, 2008 9:10 PM (Cincinnati, Ohio) Insight Communications, a relatively small cable company that services parts of Kentucky, Southern Indiana, and Ohio, has unilaterally decided to deny its Internet cable service customers access to certain websites.
Our investigation has determined that Milktoast.info is one such website. This website specializes in educating credit card holders in the legal art of dealing with credit card banks, collection agencies, and collection attorneys. It teaches the ultimate defense: how to beat the banks in court.
Our conversation with an Insight customer service representative provided no reason for this draconian measure by Insight Broadband. Just a lot of evasive responses.
Based on the lack of response by the customer service representative to certain questions it does appear that outside pressure has been brought against the executives of the corporation to initiate this ban. By whom? We weren’t able to get a definitive answer.
However, based on the content of the website and its obvious success in teaching people how to eliminate their credit card debt, it is conceivable that the pressure was brought by an organized band of collection attorneys and their clients, the banks. This same group of profiteers has already lobbied Congress to change the credit card agreement laws to their benefit. The bill is currently before the House.
Evidently these profiteers aren’t willing to wait for Congress to act. They’ve found a quicker way to defeat their opponents. It may be cowardly; but, it is effective without bringing attention to them or their goals.
What happens next? Only time will tell.
We’ll keep you posted as the story unfolds.

September 9, 2008 9:10 AM (Cincinnati, Ohio) A miracle or a coincidence?
But first, a little background. According to the owner of Milktoast.info his website is hosted in Malaysia to keep the website safe from the Gestapo tactics of the U.S. banking industry. These financial thugs have a tendency to use intimidation against U.S. hosting companies when they find a website they don’t like. The threat of withdrawing credit and calling loans is much quicker and more effective than having to prove your case in a court of law. Especially when your arguments have no basis in law.
So, before we wrote our original article we checked dozens of websites hosted in Malaysia to see if we could find any non-bank related websites in Malaysia that were banned. We couldn’t.
This morning we revisited Milktoast.info. It was accessible.
According to the owner, within two hours of his posting our original article to his website Milktoast.info became accessible. Just as quietly and suddenly as it was banned.
A miracle of a free press or a coincidence?
We don’t know. But, if you need this kind of help with your credit card debt we would strongly suggest you take advantage of this website while you still have the opportunity. It seems that information designed to help people has had a strange way of suddenly disappearing over the past several years.
Go figure.
