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.

This cloudfare then gets all the ip address’s and what your ve been looking at with prove your human.
By the way, today it’s Global Research. Message is “taking a time out”.
Jesus. What next – “gone fishing”?
Yes, I got the “forbidden” message for a day. I suppose we all just roll our eyes at this point. Sorry for the frustration at Offg. site. Thanks for duck-taping it and muddling through.
That is nothing compared to what the commenters have been through of censorship, drone attacks, MI6 and Mossad stalking, CIA bullets flying bypassing both ears….and many many more suffering incidents.
Have a little empathy for the commenters too and our Constitutional 1’st Amendment Rights !
Are you paying Cloudflare? Have you identified the source of the “attacks”?
Supreme Court Case in which Bayer is trying to get liability ashield for glyyphosate & pesticides generally. Right now it appears the prosecuting atty may have been bought.
https://merylnass.substack.com/p/i-wanted-to-get-this-information
I assume you mean liability exemption Penelope.
Just like their Big pHarmer mates.
Gotta protect Capital$chi$m, it’s a bit like a sheltered workshop.
I wonder if Bayer is claiming that they are not responsible because they did not own Monsanto when the claims were initiated?
Round Up is a Monsanto product. Created long before Bayer purchased the company.
Not excusing by any means, I’m just wondering if that is there defense.
RFK, Jr. won a huge award against Monsanto in the past few years due to cancer from Round Up.
Maybe Bayer sees more coming.?
If you buy an old house you are not responsible for what the old owner did to the house???
Judith, no that’s not the basis of their defense. Take a quick look at my link to the meryl nass article. More important is the shield law before Congress now:
THE LIABILITY SHIELD FOR PESTICIDES:
The law currently says that if you warn on the label that your product can cause X, then you’re immune if a consumer complains that he got X from it.
They want to change the law so that they NEED NOT WARN about any condition that EPA hasn’t ALREADY SAID your product may cause. Then if the EPA only gets around to looking at your product every 8 years or so, you’re home free– or if the EPA, without the rigor of courtroom discovery, fails to correctly analyze the product.
Another portion of the bill makes it illegal for individual States to regulate pesticides– thus avoiding the dreaded “patchwork” inconvenience to pesticide manufacturers.
Thank you.
“prolonged DDOS attacks”?
Could be some disgruntled individual. No intelligence service would be so dumb to spend time on such a niche site with ~30 commentators.
Thirty commentators and ONE Detractor.
I believe that many read without commenting so the numbers are higher. As for the “intelligence services”, they are not so intelligent after all, just lots of taxpayers money.

You raise the old question. Are intelligent services intelligent?

Political Science by Randy Newman.
No one likes us, I don’t know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around even our old friends put us down
Lets drop the big one and see what happens
We give them money, but are they grateful?
No, they’re spiteful and they’re hateful
They don’t respect us, so let’s surprise them
We’ll drop the big one and pulverize them
Asia’s crowded and Europe’s too old
Africa is far too hot and Canada’s too cold
And South America stole our name
Let’s drop the big one
There’ll be no one left to blame us
We’ll save Australia
Don’t wanna hurt no kangaroo
We’ll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin too
Boom goes London and boom Paris
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh how peaceful it will be
We’ll set everybody free
You’ll wear a Japanese kimono
And there’ll be Italian shoes for me
They all hate us anyhow
So lets drop the big one now
Let’s drop the big one now
So incredibly old-fashioned.
FWIW, I am past fed up with Trump, but never succumbed to the Classic TDS– or maybe it should be called “First Wave TDS”– that afflicted my progressive-liberal relatives in 2016. (I did not share their lesser-evil support for Empress-in-Waiting Clinton.)
Anyway, “Political Science”, with its trenchant and pithy lyrics, is probably my favorite Newman song. Randy famously, and politically incorrectly, described it as “a pinhead’s view of China”. I take this somewhat ambiguous description to mean “a xenophobic Amerikan pinhead”, because the lyrics POV is manifestly US-centric.
Last year, when Trump came out of the closet as the Imperial Warlord-in-Chief, I noticed that Trump’s would-be foreign policy and attitude was precisely expressed in this song. Some analysts appropriately insist that US foreign policy has been explicitly mapped out over the decades in various Establishment think-tank policy papers, but I think the lyrics of “Political Science” are just as relevant and on point.
I struggle to suppress the inclination to repeatedly post the lyrics in full on comments. It’s just too perfect! 👍 🙏 💣
No, it isn’t.

During the recent ‘turmoil’ in Iran our local media daily reported on the
rising numbers of ‘innocent civilians’ killed during the ‘crackdown’ by
‘the regime’… It also reported ‘the regime’ cut off all internal AND
external telecommunications… That made me wonder: how did our media
know the number of ‘innocent civilians’ ‘the regime’ killed ? I considered
there must be people inside Iran able to get about to collect and then
forward such data – but how ? Maybe by tom-tom drums,? Or maybe by
semaphore flags ? Or maybe (Indian) smoke signals ? But i think it was
most likely forwarded by carrier pigeons…
The same way they know about all the rapes that don’t get reported, and all the cocaine that doesn’t get confiscated.
Under attack…?? Why? From the comments section this is an echo chamber for Trump deranged wannabe intellectuals. Must be fund raising again…
Trump is a woman
If someone calls out Trump for factual things, it’s not Trump derangement.
Chickenshit. That’s all you say and then never come back to debate your bullshit. Who the fuck are you?

As the number of “Mainstream” alt/independent News Commentary sites are always fighting their own souls to NOT-SELL-OUT to the elite monied interests, so far OffG is continuing to hold-the-line most of the time….. Most of the “Candices” & “Rogans” of the world, as the $Money$ grows enormous ( Kirk’s Empire ), are having a harder time, show-to-show, keeping totally true to the verifiable truth and more more prone to spinning the narrative for more “Subs / Clicks”…..
The net gets harder & harder to sift through the Bling News to get the objective truth…
Thanks for trying… I just really don’t see any solutions for AGI, toxic tech, and the toxic Corporatism along with the effective destruction of the Democratic Party of JFK…
Trump Derangement Syndrome, Woke Toxic Femininity, and the DEI/Victim mentality of Gen Y/Z/Alpha should destroy functional American/Western Culture in the next 20 years… As someone famous (before he was assassinated) used to say, “Prove Me Wrong”…. Oh Well, Humankind had a good run….

Did any of u kids notice you get mind swiped, when your going to post something, they call it dementia or altheiesmers or imminent death
Have you seen the sudden looking behind vids?
Do you know where you were this time today
What is good about me, I don’t use up anybodies else in the siberspace to post my personal truths, i just post them under my own original nonsensense

Mind swipe?
And that is very much depreciated
You mean from another time zone perspective?
Well like we used to say at HP, “we have the technology”, and you guys have done well. Thank you for your stuburn relentlessness.
You remind me of a wireless printer I once had.
And please don’t remind me, we were eating ink and toner for breakfast
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.
Exactly: why we should mention the distraction deployed, to divert attention from the Massive J.P. Morgan & co. Manipulations of the Silver & Gold prices… selling off paper. Last Thursday/Friday…
Talk about obvious, ‘what they did’ the Dimon Backstabbers ? !
In my town price of silver is now Shanghai SMM + cca.15% premium + VAT.
A week ago price was “paper market” + VAT.
What does that mean, exactly?
I suppose you understood what I said.
Today is even worse with physical silver, premium is up to 30% above Shanghai SMM. Some coins are not available anymore.
If you are selling than you get just paper market price, so the difference between selling and buying is almost 100%!
In Croatia (EU also I’ve been told) you must present ID if you want to buy/sell gold. ID data stays with the dealer (for now).
Metals as protection against inflation….. gold not a good idea, privacy is not guaranteed. Silver is maybe ok, but now is too expensive I think. Since there is supposedly huge shortage of silver who knows what will happen.

Some of us think misinfo. or hate speech is only what we say it is. The prevalent taboos of the Free World (TM) are the height of hypocrisy.

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
Trolls “work in IT” too. But some of us seem unable to control our reactions to them.
Correct. The flood, however, seems to come from the same 2 or 3 semi-literate flooders.
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?
Well, were glad you can enjoy yourself here…
How is it? I was able to call it – before it happen

Gold and Silver and Bitcoin dropped 30%
Every year the same ritual.
We’re very proud of you
Figure out who holds all the gold. They are the ones targeting the gullible ETF, paper-gold pricks. So kill the idiots who bought fake gold, support the dollar for now, but gold and silver will shine because the fkrs hold 90% of it and it will need to be the security on future CBDC’s. Rough few months, then boom.
There was no need to target gold, silver or platinum. The mining stocks fell in response to the metals prices.
These metals have been flashing red warning signs on multiple technical signals for weeks. Silver especially went parabolic. Overbought technically more so than 2011 and well overdue for a correction. So nothing trange about the sell-off, only its speed (2 days).
ETFs are not just paper, they are theoretically backed by the metal, although how well audited is another question. The real leverage is in the futures market where margin calls occur, which triggers the fast sell-offs especially when there a not many shorts out there.
After a ten year bull market and based on wave structures, it is possible that the all time high is in for silver at least, if not gold. The next few weeks will clarify that based on the relief bounce (probably this week) and where final bottom of this drop ends. Then comes the process of watching the subsequent rally to determine if there is one more new high in the tank or it is a bear market for a few years.
Bull markets abound though in many markets it’s just called inflation. Silver is not going up for solely reasons of speculation/ investment. An ounce of silver should buy the same amount of food/clothes/whatever as it did 50 years ago. If it buys more of those things (of the same quality), only then are we in a bull market.
Precisely. Gold and silver only goes up in “bull market” because your supermarket raise their prices.
Milk goes from 1 dollar to 1,3 dollar = 30% rise, Metals follow. Meaning its not the metal who rose, but the milk.
The reason why the supermarkets are ‘raising prices’ is because the dollar is losing value. Inquire at the Fed …
The timeline is what matters to compare the prices. If you bought silver at the market top in 1980 at $50 it took until 2011 to recover the $50 value, a 31 year wait to break even, not accounting for the loss of value due to inflation over that time and the opportunity cost of not having invested the money elsewhere.
From 2011 it then fell hard until 2015, then rallied again after, only then to fall to $11 in March 2020. So in the last four and half years until last week when it hit $121, it had increased 11 times in US dollar value or 1000% in 5 and half years.
Timing is everything.
fundamentals haven’t changed – everyone knows they are going to print currency to hyperinflation to great reset, and everyone will be scrambling for anything of value to convert their near-worthless pounds, dollars and shekels to, just like in weimar.
if silver stablises here, or anywhere, i’m still not saving in fiat ponzi central bank ious.
My next market target for silver is $150.
I hope you’re patient then, and I speak as someone who would like it to hit $150, but I am a realist as well.
Nah, its a bull (as in bullshit) market.
As usual.
Gold and silver didn’t fall anything like 30%, twas more like 6%. Tut tut.
