  - NOTICE -       Due to the repressive legislation and judicial decisions in the United States, we at BANNEDTHOUGHT.NET want to make it completely clear that we do not have any connection with any political party or organization anywhere in the world. We do not aid, promote, assist, support, coordinate with, or provide any sort of services or advice to any political party or organization. However, we do support the right of free speech, and the right of the people in both the United States and internationally to read the views and publications of all parties and organizations. For this reason alone we are making many documents of the Maoist Communist Union organization, and other political parties and organizations, available on this site. These are documents which are banned or suppressed in some parts of the world, and quite difficult to locate in many other places.
