We all know the power of television to shape the attitude of a generation.
Unchecked we will see the mindset of our current generation continue to go down hill.

You will be happy to know that you are not alone in this opinion.

Vice Presidential Candidate Lieberman just gave Fox the "Silver Sewer" Award, and Oprah Winfrey just featured a Psychologist who scientifically proved how the television HAS shaped the minds and affected our Kids.

Investigative report
"The Web's Darkside"

"An estimated 144 million Americans are plugged into cyberspace. Because the internet is so vast and uncharted, the full scope of its dark side has never been fully explored"

Fox has been previewing a new Fall season program around town, and people are already expressing strong concern due to its heavy occult content. This upcoming television series is called "FREAKYLINKS", by the makers of the "Blair Witch Project."

They plan to simulcast web page addresses to websites like "satan.com" etc. We all know of the boys at Columbine who were into the occult web sites and the resulting effect it had on their behavior. We feel it is time to stand up and say "enough." Whenever God puts us into a place of leadership we are accountable for that which we allow. So it is up to us to call this into accountability.

Below are some excerpts from concerned parents and professionals that have already seen the pilot.
 

"It's Fall 2000, and you're just settling down on the couch to see what's on TV. It's 9PM on Friday. You know, "Family Hour." Flipping past the channels, you come to a screeching halt at your local Fox channel. And there (from those warm and fuzzy folks who brought you "Fox Family Channel" on cable) is "Freakylinks" – an hour-long drama from the makers of "The Blair Witch Project" that plays like a long recruitment ad for satanic cults."

"Fox intends to broadcast twisted, morbid, frightening images into your living room at 8PM every Friday night. Filthy dead children freshly risen from the grave. Foul demons slamming people around like rag dolls. Rooms ripped apart by supernatural forces. A murderous witchcraft fest at a deserted community. Occult writing mysteriously seeping down the walls, a la "Helter Skelter."

"If you think that this is just another paranormal TV show, think again. Fox intends to broadcast "Freakylinks" simultaneously via its internet site: www.freakylinks.com. To really get kids immersed into cult life, freakylinks offers links directly into other "cool" occult sites."

The webmaster of Freakylinks writes, "with the success of Blair Witch Project, that only means we'll be blessed with tons more of this type of cr-- in the future. It makes me shudder." On the other hand, if you send a message to Fox about your feelings regarding this type of programming, maybe we'll be spared and have a lot less of it in the future."

"If an adult wants to go to a movie theater and see "Blair Witch Project," that's their choice. But when a top TV network starts pumping this stuff into my living room and urging kids onto these occult websites, then lines have to be drawn."

"We all know kids and teens are highly impressionable. Could Fox be birthing a titillating show that could literally spawn a cult following? "

"Freakylinks" is repulsive, not because it's violent, or because it's supernatural. As I watched the preview, this show violated something deep within my spirit. It was as if some uninvited demonic creature had strolled into my living room and sat there wallowing in my fear and discomfort. And I couldn't wait to get it out. Do you really want it in your home?

As hard as this is to look at. It is important to ask yourself:
"Is this a trend that is about to explode across the Nation?"

Here are some pre-teen and teenage emails currently on FOX's Freakylinks Website.

I wanna know what the title of some of those books are need to now i'm a girl so no wizardry only witchery k and any info on ghosts or poltegists please! I vislt daily so just reply to this reply ill keep in touch just one email my parents would have a fit oh yay replying to a reply is possible. bye bye In Reply To: I'm a witch!

"I am 11 1/2 and have been practicing wicca and wichcraft for about a year now and I still get told it's just for girls. I beg to differ. Sometimes boys have more power (no offence girls). My point is Boys, if you get told it's just for girls and want to stand up for your opinion. and do something about it!!!!"

Within a few weeks FOX'S first episode of "Freakylinks" will air directing an estimated 100,000 youth to the "freakyxxxx.com" web page.

Keep in mind FOX is directing youth to this web site and claiming no responsibility as to this web's content. There are no rules governing the Internet. Do you feel that is responsible programming?

Do you really want you kids and the neighbor's kids being directed to this stuff by the hundreds of thousands this fall?

To quote a famous line "It is important to realize that what a nation focuses its thoughts on... That is the reality that it will soon walk into."

Haven't we had enough killings... I was looking forward to a peaceful year!

Regardless of what FOX claims.... it does looks like recruitment ads for the OCCULT.

I remember a quote from years ago "We will destroy your country from within without ever dropping a single bomb".

Does anybody remember who said that?

According to the FCC regulations, is this in the public's best interest for a citizen of another country to own a US television network like FOX?

We feel it is important that we stand up to make a difference. If you care about our kids, then it is urgent to make your voice heard today! It can take as little as 60 seconds of your time.

It is very important that you do not circumvent this email page and just email Mr. Grushow directly but rather email him through this web page by clicking below as that will automatically send us a duplicate copy. These duplicate copies will be used in phase two of this campaign and be sent to his superiors as well as the sponsors of this show. Sending through this web page is the ONLY way we will have proof to take to others in the event Mr. Grushow has a vested interest in airing this show and simply decides to delete his email rather than sharing it with top management. Thank you

(1) If you want to make your voice heard at the top, you can e-mail the head of Fox prime time programming. See below for the email addresses.

"Dear Sandy Grushow,

Your current show "Freakylinks" and your intent to direct our kids to a web site that is creating interest in witchcraft and occult activity is not only in poor taste but poor judgment. Your claims that you are not responsible for the content of this web page or sites it links youth to is outrageous to say the least. To direct millions of viewers week after week to a web site that the authors are clearly interested in creating interest for the occult is way out of line and we will not stand for it! If you think that is just "good" promotion/advertising then you are very deceived indeed!

"Hello, I want to encourage you not to broadcast the series "Freakylinks". I don't see it as helping your network or society in the least. Please consider not broadcasting it, thanks."

"As a parent of a teenager and a pre-teen living in the Denver area, where the Columbine massacre happened, I would encourage you to abort the "Freakylinks" show and website. I feel kids today do not need another bad influence entering their thoughts. They need good, wholesome ideas that inspire and uplift their imaginations rather than prey on their vulnerabilities."

"I would like to ask you to please pull your new show, "Freaky links" from your fall programming. As a teen I would personally refuse to watch such a demonic program but I fear that some of my friends might. As seen in Columbine the effects could be deadly, and if they were......"

"I am a parent of a seven year old. I am deeply concerned about your show fearsome and freaky links. As a parent I am appalled with this kind of programming on our public TV stations. I am not alone with my feelings. Please reconsider your actions for airing this kind of programing."

"As a concerned parent, I am appalled that you all are going to allow such a program as "FREAKYLINKS" to be aired in the fall. It's bad enough our children had to be born into this world where there is so much crime going on and now we have media such as yours that would allow the airing of such a show that could potentially influence our children into more hatred and crime. "

"Apparently you all must not have children; otherwise, you would be concerned about your own children potentially viewing such a demonic show. I hope you all will give airing that show another thought; I would hate to hear six months from now how other kids were influenced by this program to repeat what happened at Columbine High School."

Let's not kid ourselves...if television doesn't influence behavior, your advertisers, the professionals of all persuaders, would see no need to spend their millions on your "family network". They apparently believe television does significantly influence behavior. Likewise, you have a responsibility, sir, to the youth of this generation. Please pull Freakylinks from your programming. You are planting powerful seeds of dark influence into impressionable minds and as a parent of a teenager, I do not want to see another harvest similar to Columbine. Every right (e.g. freedom of speech) also has a responsibility associated with it. I respectfully request you take serious note of your responsibility in this matter and withdraw this programming. Thank you,"

(2)You can also forward this e-mail (with your comments) to Chairman William Kennard of the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC is supposed to be Fox's watchdog. Here are some letters from concerned parents.

"Dear Chairman Kennard:

"As a concerned parent I ask you not to allow such programming be allowed on Fox network or any other. For our children's sake no program which promotes more evil doings in this land should be allowed on the airways (including the internet). We have had enough troubles of our own, with the youth of America, carrying guns and other things to school and destroying their fellow peers/classmates. This needs to stop and you can help by preventing such programming on the airways.

"I am asking you to investigate a serious primetime network television programming issue. As you may know, this Fall, Fox plans to air "Freakylinks", an occult show, during Family Hour from 8-9pm on Fridays. The show would be simulcast with a website linking kids directly to other occult sites. This demonstrates an outrageous lack of responsible judgment on Fox's part, and I am asking the FCC to exerciser its authority in having "Freakylinks" removed from Fox's Fall schedule – permanently!"
