I never considered that my dinky little blog would ever draw the attention of anyone other than a few libertarian minded people. We draw about 15,000 visitors per day, which is tiny in comparison to hundreds of popular sites. I do consider my site to be anti-status quo, pro-Constitution, pro-liberty, pro-freedom, anti-neocon, anti-liberal, pro-common sense website.
I believe our country has been captured by a small cadre of powerful, wealthy, psychotic, evil men. I believe we have reached a point of no return. Our system cannot be reformed through the democratic process because the system has been corrupted by the wealth of those in control. True capitalism hasn’t existed since 1913. The masses are controlled through propaganda and entitlements.
We’ve descended into a Brave New World/1984 dystopian nightmare. Developments over the last few weeks have veered heavily towards the Orwellian fascist surveillance state. I’ve never been a big conspiracy theory kind of guy, until this week.
There is no doubt in my mind that TBP is now on the radar screen of the Federal Thugs within the DHS spy complex. From the moment I posted articles in support of a true patriot – Edward Snowden, my site has been under assault. I’ve received multiple emails from people and read dozens of comments on the site describing what has happened.
People with McAfee security now get this message when they try to go to my site:
WARNING: DANGEROUS SITE
Whoa!
Are you sure you want to go there?
People have been accessing my site for four years and have never gotten this message. Suddenly, this week it is dangerous.
Multiple people have told me that their companies suddenly starting blocking my site this week with the message that it is a POLITICAL/ACTIVIST website. The State University of New York blocks my site. The only way this could have happened is if some agency or organization put my website onto some sort of list that corporations and universities could access to decide whether it could be displayed on their servers. Clearly, this was an act of the government. In the world we live in today, a website that criticizes the government is a dangerous entity and must be silenced. This government is not a big fan of free speech.
My own security software gives me a Security Alert every time I try to go onto my own website. Here is the warning:
WEB ATTACK MALICIOUS EXPLOIT KIT WEBSITE
The IP Address of the attacking computer is 188.138.115.108. When I searched this address it is supposedly in Germany. I’ve also gotten messages of attacks from the Ukraine. Is there an entity attacking anyone who tries to access my site or are they trying to scare people away from accessing my site? My site sits on a mainstream American based server company. It is not infected with malware. I can check the diagnostics on the server company’s website. There are no problems, viruses or malware. These warnings are false.
My site has not been throttled by my server company in the last week. My IT guy has taken the site down for maintenance and he says there are no database issues. But, in the last week the number of database error messages and no connection messages have quadrupled versus what was happening prior to this week. I’m sure this is just a coincidence.
I doubt that my website will be accessible within the next year. The government will either force my server company to pull the plug or they will use some legal means to bully me into submission. I had a long discussion with my Computer Science Major son as we drove into work this morning. He has been tasked with figuring out a way for his old man to keep up the fight after the government shuts down my mainstream method of exercising my freedom of speech.
We are clearly descending into a fascist surveillance state. TBP is an enemy of this state.
