Below is the dialogue between the German Commander at Bastogne and the U.S. General McAuliffe.
To the U.S.A. Commander of the encircled town of Bastogne.
The fortune of war is changing. This time the U.S.A. forces in and near Bastogne have been encircled by strong German armored units. More German armored units have crossed the river Our near Ortheuville, have taken Marche and reached St. Hubert by passing through Hompre-Sibret-Tillet. Libramont is in German hands.
There is only one possibility to save the encircled U.S.A. troops from total annihilation: that is the honorable surrender of the encircled town. In order to think it over, a term of two hours will be granted beginning with the presentation of this note.
If this proposal should be rejected one German Artillery Corps and six heavy A. A. Battalions are ready to annihilate the U.S.A. troops in and near Bastogne. The order for firing will be given immediately after this two hours term.
All the serious civilian losses caused by this artillery fire would not correspond with the well-known American humanity.
The German Commander.
To the German Commander.
NUTS!
The American Commander
Here is a TBP version of what has happened in the last week:
To the Administrator of the Anarchist Blog – The Burning Platform
The fortune of the War on Terrorism is changing. This time the TBP forces have been encircled by unmerciful attacking computers programmed by the NSA and Google. More forces of darkness are surrounding your pitiful blog. We are converging on TBP from all fronts.
There is only one possibility to save your site from total annihilation: that is the honorable surrender of your website to the forces of evil by writing positive stories about Wall Street, Obama, the government, the military industrial complex, the mainstream media, and Google. In order to think it over, a term of two hours will be granted beginning with the presentation of this note.
If this proposal should be rejected, a swarm of predator drones will attack TBP Central and hundreds of computers will attack your server with 100 million hits. Our tech geeks are ready to annihilate your two bit libertarian website. The order to attack will be given in two hours to crush you like a bug.
All the serious disruption to internet traffic would not correspond with the well-known TBP humanity.

To the Oligarch Commander
BLOW ME!!!
TBP Commander
Let the fighting resume.
Perfect. Heee’s Baaaaaack.
Bob.
Dear Oligarch Commander,
Go fuck yourself.
Fuck your momma for not aborting you.
FUCK GOOGLE.
Sincerely,
A peon foot soldier
The hard part was the not knowing what happened. Still don’t know, but I can guess, I just hope this is not one of those situations where you won another battle but the war is still on. I think the war is still on.
Those in charge must be very frightened indeed.
“Fuck your momma for not aborting you.”
I love it, I will use that one in the future.
Dear DDoS mastermind: you should have ducked.
I bet The Oligarch Commander was born anally instead of vaginally !
“Non illigitamus carborundum”
Glad to see you are back.
“Give em Hell!”
and fuck the chicoms or Ukrainians that were probably paid to carry the attack
Fuck google
Fuck the NSA
Fuck the CIA
Fuck the FBI
Fuck the white house (is that racist?)
Fuck all you parasitical thieving murdering thugs.
This little ant (TBP) is standing up.
Others are too.
You have already lost assholes.
FUCK ALL THE FUCKERS,
Why do I get the feeling that this was all an “experiment” – to see what would happen / what strategies would be followed, should “we” decide to interfere with one of those “minority Libertarian” sites?
Never forget that if the likes of Jim Quinn et. al. became anything more than an “insignificant distraction from The Programme”, Jim Quinn et. al. would be quickly, and permanently silenced (as in dead.)
And, we ALL know that such an event would receive absolutely ZERO coverage, via ANY News Media.
So, maybe this was “someone, somewhere” having “a good time”, at the expense of TBP. Or maybe not. Maybe something more sinister, and longer-term, is afoot, and this was but a trial.
We’ll see.
