We’re back

As you probably noticed the site went down yesterday at around 5pm GMT.

A few hours earlier we experienced another major Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, but this time the perpetrators managed to get past Cloudflare and other defences and attack the site directly.

We therefore had no choice but to change the site IP. The site then effectively became inaccessible until the new IP propagated. Which it now has.

We seem to be getting more than our share of disruption lately, but, with some restructuring and even more security, we’re hopeful this particular issue won’t happen again.

ADDENDUM: If you’re still finding it hard to access the full site you need to flush your browser cache and/or delete browsing history. This should solve the problem completely.

John Pilger on the Assange Scandal – he writes: The glimpse of Julian Assange being dragged from the Ecuadorean embassy in London is an emblem of the times. Might against right. Muscle against the law. Indecency against courage. Six policemen manhandled a sick journalist, his eyes wincing against his first natural light in almost seven years. That this outrage happened in the heart of London, in the land of Magna Carta, ought to shame and anger all who fear for “democratic” societies. Assange is a political refugee protected by international law, the recipient of asylum under a strict covenant to which Britain is a signatory. The United Nations made this clear in the legal ruling of its Working Party on Arbitrary Detention. But to hell with that. Let the thugs go in. Directed by the quasi fascists in Trump’s Washington, in league with Ecuador’s Lenin Moreno, a Latin American Judas… Read more »

Our tax dollars are always hard at work 24/7 busily trying to shut down our progressive media sites, while also doggedly trolling progressive “comments” sections attempting to manipulate and direct discourse. Remember that this is an actual “job” for many people – as such complete amorality apparently pays well under our current neoliberal version of paradise. Rereading some of the Edward Snowden documents always feels like a worthwhile undertaking, particularly when the boys in the intelligence services are playing their little games shutting down sites like this:

Ironically enough, one of the people whose job it has been to ‘manipulate and direct discourse’ is the very person you offer in counterpoint to these nefarious activities – the actor Edward Snowden. If simple logic doesn’t render this fact inescapable then the evidence surely ought to? Since his timely appearance heading off Russell Tice and the genuine revelations partially released then (look them up if you can – they also implicate Obama), Snowden has been a conduit for all concerns relating to surveillance and civil liberties. He’s also a perfect embodiment of the ‘cognitive infiltration’ which Obama’s mentor, Cass Sunstein, argued was a strict necessity to be rolled out shortly as Obama came to power. Those among you who want to cling to your heroes, vote my comment down by all means. Forget that Snowden’s ‘revelations’ about Echelon etc were known 8 years earlier by anyone paying attention; forget… Read more »

What’s the point of appealing to a failed legal system which is so visibly, blatantly corrupt that it does – for example – what it’s doing to Julian Assange? The common-sense idea is energy-conservation: don’t waste it on efforts which you already know to be futile, such as appealing to the honour and fair play of crooks who will just laugh in your face – for as long as we allow them the power to continue getting away with it. Some sort of widespread public upheaval, like the anti-poll-tax riots which toppled Thatcher, are required, to inject a sense of serious fear into the gics (gangsters-in-charge) and their whore servitors in politics and media that we’re so aroused that there’s a real, genuine danger they could end up dangling from lamp-posts.

To put this matter into the sort of historical context that Mike Cushman and Frank Land would both, I believe, understand it has always been one of the great boasts of socialists that our party and the Communists, in which Jews were always well represented at every level, preceded the Jews and the Roma and the homosexuals and the mentally deficient into the fascist concentration camps. And that was a great honour, to have been born, as it were, on the right side of history. Just as it was very lucky to have been born after the fight was won. It was by no means automatic that, after the Fall of France in 1940, the United Kingdom did not make peace with the Germans.

Only one thing to disagree with there, bevin: Mirvis as ‘chief rabbi’. Really? Who elected him? Even amongst British jews he’s not an elected leader. He is in fact a lunatic zionist fanatic, with no genuine, democratically-awarded standing in British society. Call him by his name and true description: the zionist fanatic Ephraim Mirvis; a man of highly questionable loyalty to the British state where he claims citizenship. And a lying, smearing creep to boot.

Remember that Mirvis is amongst those zionist fanatics who mirror what Jeremy Corbyn’s parents were fighting against in Cable Street: fascist provocateurs deliberately trying to flaunt themselves in the quarter where their hated untermenschen live. Mirvis takes part in the lunatic zionists’ marches through the Arab quarter in Al Qods, waving the zionistan flag in deliberate provocation. A lying crook, worthy of no respect at all, certainly not some fancy, self-awarded title.

In 2002 Jeremy Corbyn led a clean-up and vigil at Finsbury Park Synagogue which had been vandalised in an anti-Semitic attack. 5.

If i may add:-

– The War made many many millions for the multinationals of the day.
– their factories survived the massive bombing raids – here too.
– many in the concentration camps worked in these factories as slave labour often managed by the boss slaves…
– all these multinationals thrived during and ever since.

Not sure if any of you guys went to London for the ‘free the truth’ event in London in support of Julian Assange tonight. Well, have to say great speakers, John Pilger ,Craig Murray but what had people most standing up and applauding was Chris Williamson having to stand up after being outed by Mark Curtis as a member of the audience (at the back) Seriously I am no Labour supporter but Chris Williamson is one of the greats in my book. His appearance (as well as finally seeing Pilger) topped off a good evening.

Chris Williamson shares some of Corbyn’s traits – honesty, decency and integrity – and he has paid dearly for it. Corbyn gets criticised over this, but actually it is the work of the Executive Committee. John Pilger is an amazing journalist and a true progressive. His defence of Julian Assange is unassailable. It’s a wonder he has not been thrown in the slammer too. I wonder if anyone filmed any of what you saw and heard – for the benefit of those like myself who could not attend this it would be good to see.

But when possible, you definitely can’t beat going to these events for the atmosphere and seeing some great people. John Pilger described his experience of visiting Julian Assange earlier that day.

At last Corbyn showed his mettle in not ‘apologising’ to odious Andrew Neil for his alleged ‘anti-semitism’. What exactly was there to apologise about? The anti-semitism fabrications were so blatantly a transparent Hasbara inside job that they should never have been allowed to take root in the first place. This was not the first attack on Corbyn by outside forces using their UK proxies , but perhaps more importantly they constituted a blatant inference in the internal affairs on the sovereign state of the United Kingdom. One would have expected other VIPS in position of influence and power – I had Johnson in mind – to have backed Corbyn up, but apparently their patriotism was put on hold for after the election period.

PS from Bevin’s later post re Jeremy’s impeccable credentials as a second-generation Socialist and defender of the oppressed — including defending Jews when they really needed defending — a post which ought to be copied and pasted on every available site including MSM, and brought to the notice of every Labour voter or potential Labour voter:

“It is no secret that among those named and listed (for execution by the Nazis should Hitler have won) were Jeremy Corbyn’s parents, who, legendarily, met at the Battle of Cable Street [defending London’s Jews against British Fascists] and fell in love supporting the Spanish Republic. And it is their son whom the chief rabbi calls antisemitic.”

I point this out because the Chief Rabbi’s predecessor likewise revealed his own Zionazi credentials, by cheering a provocative Oswald Mosely type march by Israeli Zionazis through the Arab quarter of Jerusalem.

Using Ccleaner can help too, there’s an option to clear the DNS cache on your PC as well as all the cookies and other saved crud.

Quite a few times I’ve also noted that in addition to all this, it’s required to turn the router off for a minute or two and start over.

The ISP may also have it’s own cache and IP updates which only occurs every 24 hours, so if all the aboive fail, just wait an extra 24 hours for your ISP to catch up….or alternatively re-direct your traffic through your phone or other network.

Thank you all for advice I very much appreciate you taking the time. I didn’t get chance to try anything till now but managed to log straight in. So presumably what ever was stopping me is now resolved.

Every click is monitored and recorded somewhere. How can this happen, a party that launches a cyber attack without anyone finding out who the culprits are??!!!

Whilst every click can be monitored, the origins of each click can be hidden, or made to appear from elswhere. That’s why an alleged hack from one location can in fact be originating from anywere else on the planet. These kinds of spoofings have been around for many years.

The essence is that it has gotten much more costly to protect one’s site. The reason – among others – why I terminated my web site. The hosting alone was too much. Then you need to add this and that to be barely protected. Therefor, I can imagine how enerving this is. Cui bono? Leaving aside the obvious financial benefactors, what other reasons – and they can’t be political at that, as they render democracy irrelevant. Whoever wants political discourse might not use DDoS attacks. Because no matter how smart the electronic terrorists are, they always leave a wake in the water where their speed boat just got by. Follow the imprints their actions leave in the internet. There are no FOIA (or equivalent) requests to the NSA (et al). They do not answer questions and a number of Americans believes that to be good. The secret service – as… Read more »

You should be proud that your little site generates enough ire for anyone to be bothered.

It’s probably someone at the Graun’s Thames House offices.

Bored of watching our webcams and fed up with the banality of TikTok, no doubt. Useless arses they are. Get a real job.

Welcome Back OffG😁
To the slime who repeatedly attack this site, you will not silence us.
You may win the odd battle, like your gutless DDoS attacks on this site, but in the long run you will lose the war.
Why?
Because We Have Truth On Our Side.
More and more people are turning their backs on your propagandists – the presstitutes who lie and smear and censor in service to your Masters.
All Empire’s eventually crumble and die. Yours will too. You will sink like the Titanic sank. It’s already begun.

Do the math for me, Ant.

note to disinfo trolls: attempts to derail discussions are more likely to be successful if they have at least some slight relevance to the issue, as this one obviously does not.

how much do they pay you for this? whatever it is, they’re not getting their money’s worth.

There is an Embassy which has a million pound budget for this kind of thing. And it hasn’t had to spend a penny to bribe the MSM to tell lies about Corbyn and do all they can to support Apartheid’s last stand- they love doing it, it is their life.

A relief to be able to welcome you back, OG. Your temporary disappearance was likely related to the imminence of the GE and the very effective articles you have published (contrasting with the rancid propaganda of the MSM).

I think you are correct – it was perpetrated in connection with this latest and most vile smear upon Jeremy Corbyn – the truth is that that “rabbi” does not represent the views of the Jewish community – on the other hand Rabbi Alissa Wise (Jewish Voice for Peace) does stand up for the rights of the Palestinians who are being slaughtered by the right wing Zio-Fascists – I have been saying for some time now that as this election progresses, the attacks upon any person who advocates social and economic justice will only further intensify – and of course I will be branded as an anti-semite for expressing this view – the fact is that this is all a mendacious fiction cooked up by deep state actors who are hell bent on destroying Jeremy Corbyn with this, the latest in their series of ad-hominem attacks.

fight 5 wars for Israel and you’re anti semitic because you haven’t fought 10 wars for Israel.
give them $10 billion and you’re anti semitic because you haven’t given them $50 billion.
