OffG is under attack…again.
Just a quick announcement explaining the recent outages apologizing for any disruption.
I know they say “never apologise, never explain”, but whoever coined that expression never had to run a website.
Somewhat ironically, just hours after publishing my comments regarding OffG’s security in my chat with Riley Waggaman, we were suddenly subject to days of prolonged DDOS attacks that caused the server to crash, left the website unresponsive for several hours at a time, and forced us to mitigate them using cloudflare settings.
During these outages the newsletter and comments form worked sporadically, slowly or not at all.
Fortunately, that seems to be over for now.
It’s an old cliché, but they do say you only take FLAK when you’re over target. So we can take some comfort from that.
Whoever coined that expression probably never had to run a website either, but I’ll bet it felt like they did.

Damn those DDOS torpedoes full steam ahead offG!!!
Bugger. However when you step back and take a look at things in an objective manner, you quickly realise this is an all out war on humanity; on us, and the mouthpieces of those who run the world have made it crystal clear they intend, in their words, to “clamp down on the spreading of misinformation and hate speech”. Meaning all those who shine a light on their vile agenda, propaganda and bullshit will be targeted. Including sites like this one. A while ago Ursula Von Der Leyden made the comment: “we need a vaccine for the virus of misinformation”. Others of her ilk have made similar comments. And you only need to look at the rampant censorship on social media, the deletion of accounts, the shadowbanning, etc, to know they are very serious in wanting to silencing those who speak truth to power. To these morally bankrupt snakes, an intelligent informed population is seen as a threat to their plans.
Well, it shows us all that you guys and gals at Off-Guardian HQ – are doing something right, when the security services DDOS you – keep the good work up.
The place seems to be equally under attack from a flood of inconsequential comments (if you can even call them that). See recent threads.
Which I suppose work via a similar principle to DDOS. Flooding a place with garbage to disrupt the flow of more thoughtful contributions
It’s surprising given that it’s a rather small, inconsequential website. Maybe it’s the ongoing theme of hoax, psyop, fake, swtcheroo, that stirs the golems up from the murk. Too close to the mark, maybe?
How is it? I was able to call it – before it happen
