Dear friends,
I just wanted to let you know that the French Saker Blog has been under DDoS attack for over 48 hours. I have asked our IT people to try to help the French Saker Blog. Right now (11:28 UTC) I could access the site, but yesterday evening it was down.
I will keep you posted.

What is DDoS?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/D/DDoS_attack.html
DDOS is short for Distributed Denial of Service.
DDOS is a type of DOS attack where multiple compromised systems — which are usually infected with a Trojan — are used to target a single system causing a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. Victims of a DDoS attack consist of both the end targeted system and all systems maliciously used and controlled by the hacker in the distributed attack.
According to this report on eSecurityPlanet, in a DDoS attack, the incoming traffic flooding the victim originates from many different sources – potentially hundreds of thousands or more. This effectively makes it impossible to stop the attack simply by blocking a single IP address; plus, it is very difficult to distinguish legitimate user traffic from attack traffic when spread across so many points of origin.

Using numerous computers to swamp a URL and bomb the server(s) that launch the website (URL).
Basically, massive overload demand. Server cannot handle an infinite (large number) of requests to load the website to requesting browsers.
Some DDoS are also aggressive virus or worm implanters, injecting malware that destroys the server software.
Then the server must be cleared, clean software installed, the website reinstalled.
Major disruption in service.

A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to make an online service unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources. They target a wide variety of important resources, from banks to news websites, and present a major challenge to making sure people can publish and access important information.
A week-long DDoS attack, capable of taking a small organization offline can cost as little as $150.
ddos is old 16 bit code, it effects microsoft servers mostly. it is used to send repeated url requests overloading the server.
a good systems admin can block at the router allowing things to work but at a reduced rate.
saker has hit the mainstream news and now will be targeted. they cant allow truth.

The French site are obviously doing something right!
Is this another attack from the je suis charlie freakshow?
Sorry to hear, Saker.
Time there was an in-depth article on Mr. Levy and his involvement with Libya.
Not to mention French Intel in Syria.
Or who is being bankrolled by Quatari oil-money in the French government.
And what this means for the energy supply control in the MENA.
Are the Israelis involved?
Stupid question.
Are the Israelis involved? Stupid question.
Are they ever not involved? :D
They are always involved.
I call them– the Universe’ meddlers.
If the attack was related to some specific article it might help to put an English translation of that article on the English site. It will teach those attackers;-)
Ahhhhh, oui. Sea lazt bits of Democrazy being draghed through a
blinderblender.Et voilà!
Charlie
sansau lait.They are just freaking out because the truth is coming out. Well to bad, it is going to be much worse for the psychopats pretty soon
The most recent article on the French Saker site is a French translation of an article about western MH-17 lies and corruption/blocking of an investigation and about how wikipedia is one their tools being used to reinforce their propaganda. it condemns wikipedia pretty strongly, although one can never condemn wikipedia strong enough. I’m wondering if the DDoS attack was a response to FS posting that article and part of a larger pre-emptive zionazi/nazi campaign to shut down the alternate views to their propaganda about MH-17 coinciding with their attempt to ram a phony “tribunal” up the UNSC’s arse.
Wikipedia is very useful if used properly.
Articles on math, science, non-controversial things, are generally fairly good, although of course you have to use it as a start of a search from other sources, as with any encyclopedia.
For political or controversial things you can use it as an ‘index of topics and links’ to to investigate, knowing what you find at wiki is likely skewed of dysinformation, and you can do some preliminary investigation into that by consulting the history and other version provided.
Congressional record is another good source, similar in that you need to understand that congressional representatives frequently lie, and distort, and the the process of getting something entered in the record is itself often a mode of propaganda.
And lastly, you need to understand that the English version is written by English speakers, who are often loyal or brainwashed members of the empire, and then it’s inherently skewed.
It’s an encyclopedia. Go through printed encyclopedias, or text books, and you find much the same thing. You have to go through some hoops, know what you are doing, and become familiar with various sources and schools of thinking, and some knowledge of epistemology and paradigm formation, to find something sort of resembling truth.
Very strongly disagree, Blue. The whole point of the wikipedia zionazi/nazi corruption is to use uncontroversial material as a gateway to propaganda being accepted as fact. Wikipedia is a propaganda site, a low cost version of radio liberty and whatever zionazi media house one would care to name. Yes, one can sometimes find relatively accurate material on some subjects there, but so can one perusing various weather sites for yesterday’s local weather. Wikipedia is hopelessly corrupt (the fact that many of the sayanim at justthetalk.com are also wikipedia “editors” should more than substantiate that). The article at the French Saker about MH-17 and wikipedia (published right before the ddos attack) pretty much documents the uselessness of wikipedia and their role as zionazi/nazi propaganda designed to pollute the web. Like with the zionazi media, the more one uses the sods, the greater their credibility, and income. Do we really want to bolster the credibility of zionazis/nazis and make them richer?
Depends on what you look at — and I don’t know of an equivalent alternative. The random article I saw just now at the opening page is
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Skelton
and I think it’s likely pretty accurate.
It says “Skelton’s artwork of clowns remained a hobby until 1964 when his wife, Georgia, convinced him to have a showing of his work at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas while he was performing there” and I had forgotten he also painted, and if I hadn’t known I’d learn of it there.
I’ve figured out the question of whether something or someone can be trusted is the wrong one; the right one is how far can it or s/he be trusted for what. Wikipedia is much more than a propaganda site, and some things I’ll even look at CIA fact book for. I doubt it makes either one significantly more credible or richer by using the sites, and both are useful for certain purposes.
I can’t boycott the entire world, and there is nowhere I can’t find evil or nonsense in some way. I have to be selective if I don’t live in a cave in the wilderness.

I can’t boycott the entire world, and there is nowhere I can’t find evil or nonsense in some way. I have to be selective if I don’t live in a cave in the wilderness.
No need to boycott the world or live in a cave. Just scroll past the wikipedia listings in the search and check out the ones following it. Don’t worry, the “Internet Conformity Authority”, (ICA), wont visit unless you break a copyright law. ;D Unless it’s a “very important subject” such as Red Skelton, the other sites will be much better at providing accurate, useful content (actually, scratch that, redskelton.com. would be a better choice than wikipedia). ;D
Out of curiosity, I ran searches using the 3 main English language engines. Google put redskelton.com first, wikipedia 2nd. Yahoo listed redskelton.com first, IMDB 2nd and wikipedia 3rd. While microsoft’s bing failed utterly, listing wikipedia first and redskelton.com 2nd.
When I research something I tend to look at everything, follow all the links which look important, and then follow ‘secondary’ links I find at those sites, and so forth, to a depth of 3, 4, or 5 references — discarding duplicates and nonsense along the way. Pick up names of people and events along the way and then check those out — in other words, do some actual research. Wikipedia is often an early stage in that process, but only just one part of it, although I often get some good references from it. (I first ran across I think of the three of Bateson, and Umpleby, and Beer there — don’t remember exactly, when getting started with further research into cybernetics).
But then I have also referenced the Catholic encyclopedia site and Jewish virtual library, even though those are obviously biased — and like that. This also gives me an idea of what ‘the opposition’ is saying and I can then source a lot of the troll type stuff I see.
I just listened to some material from American Monetary Institute, and one was a good lecture with lots of info from Joseph Huber (AMI conference 2013) — but I suspect he is misinformed about MMT’s current position in a few areas (fractional reserve, for instance, which MMT actually doesn’t say much about from I’ve been able to find). Stephanie Kelton is said to be a specialist on Federal Reserve, but I haven’t found much material on the web — maybe it’s unrecorded?
I still have a lot of research to do on this: Schumpeter, Minsky… and to tie it in with cybernetics, which has a surprising amount of peripheral undercurrents about it. So I’m not going to leave out Wikipedia as a possible source of references.
I basically like their take on socialism, but looking at the entry on individualism it puts it in opposition to socialism, which is a rather shallow understanding of both — whoever wrote that particular entry doesn’t seem to know much about it all — and there is wide variation in articles depending on who wrote it, and how much revisionism Zionists or CIA has inserted, of course.
Just glancing at the intro of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boycott,_Divestment_and_Sanctions it doesn’t look too bad as an overview, and has lots of footnotes and links to follow up on. External links give for both supportive and critical sites.
Sometimes I buy a bag of onions or potatoes and there are some rotten ones in there — such is life…
For political and ethical entries, I always compare the Wikipedia articles in a few languages. In my experience, the English-language Wikipedia is amongst the more biased ones.
The same goes for newspapers. If you read an article which gas gone through one of the mayor press agencies (AP, UPI, Reuters) you get a distinct “transatlantic” bias in your article.
Yes and the Israeli lobby is so strong in France…watch “Interview with Jacob Cohen” for anyone who missed it last year when Saker posted it…there are 6 parts and they get funnier and funnier as you go along….and very informative about the Israeli lobby in the world today…highly recommended…
Sayanim must be at it again.

the latest economic advice from Paul Craig Roberts for Russia
http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2015/07/17/greeces-lesson-russia-paul-craig-roberts/
The Greek referrendum of 61% No is still reverberating across Europe in a way that changes the present European culture facing dismemberment from German and IMF fascist economic austerity, or actually dis-emboweling of the whole European culture in order to force it into colony status to the US and US NATO. Each NATO membership automatically destroys national and EU sovereignty.
Look at seemingly small things from the perspective of geo-politics, it is made up of us. All of us.
The situation in France is very important to the US because of Holland’s support for lifting all sanctions (all criminal) on Russia. Right now the US is breathing a sigh of relief as they assume they have silenced any Greek support for Greece. Since the US believes it’s own bullshit, this reaction is normal for them and wrong 100%. As usual they are moving in to silence every one else. They have forgotten this simple human fact, we disagree as we breathe..Lets us remember it.
