U.S. Govt. To Black Out All News Sites On The Web - Trial Run Tested In California - Huge Upcoming Event?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 J. D. Heyes

(NaturalNews) Mistrust of government is high these days, so anytime there is an event of unusual circumstance, millions of us immediately think that there must be ulterior motives.

Such is the case with actions taken by certain Internet Service Providers (ISPs) on Wednesday, when a number of online news sites were blocked as the ISPs “tested” advanced technology that is capable of blocking access to the Internet.

As reported by Before It’s News, which cited reporting from regular news sources:

The blocking included popular sites like Before It’s News, Drudge Report, CNN, MSNBC, Natural News, The Epoch Times, Instapundit and others. The Chinese version of Epoch Times was unaffected, indicating it was targeted to English language news web sites. A blank white screen and “couldn’t connect” message were the result after the request timed out.

The Before It’s News site and others noted that the outages lasted for several hours and ended around 10 am Pacific Time Wednesday. And only news sites — certain news sites — were blocked.

Independent news site WorldNetDaily was also blocked for a time, according to published reports.

They “went dark for hours

“According to technical staff at Before It’s News, the blockage could have been caused by deep packet inspection used inside the routers that move information packets along the Internet,” the site reported. “This technology allows ISP’s to ‘look inside’ the packets your computer sends and receives and then make a decision to allow the packets through, modify the packets or block them. This technique can also be used to slow or speed up traffic.”

The Washington Times reported that The Drudge Report and WorldNetDaily ”went dark” as a “curious coincidence” in the midst of an FBI warning about a widespread malicious software (malware) attack that was launched initially against Sony Pictures Entertainment.

In addition, TheBlaze reported that the two sites were offline for hours, giving visitors this message: “This webpage is not available.”

The Times reported that it was unclear whether the sites were merely offline because of technical issues — it would be odd for two of the Web’s top conservative/independent news sites to be offline at once — or if they had been the target of cyberattacks. Nevertheless, the Times noted, the timing is “suspicious.”

      Outages just so happened to coincide with a visit from China’s internet censorship czar.

      If you go to CNN, MSNBC, Drudge, Fox, etc. for news, then you deserve to be blocked from accessing the internet, anyhow.

      If you don’t understand how to get a free overseas proxy server set up, you deserve to be treated like the sheep you are.

      If you continue service with an internet provider that did this to you, you deserve what you get.
