My voter fraud updates website has completely disappeared
It was from these folks:

http://globalfreepress.com/

Now I can't get to their website. I couldn't get to it yesterday or the day before, either.

I find that a bit strange

5. Maybe I'm just too prepared to be suspicious but...
Edited on Tue Dec-14-04 08:44 PM by ailsagirl
I find it odd

In fact, the news from the last few days is giving me the creeps:

Florida DOT inspector general found dead in hotel room (when he's on the verge of blowing the whistle), dead dogs, Pulitzer-winning journalists "committing suicide," people getting driven off the road, threats, websites disappearing, programmers describing weird software, two electoral officials just didn't show up in Ohio to cast their votes, the quiet media...

I have a feeling that all HELL is going to break loose any time

Is it just me??

14. Also, there is....
the military and moderate Republicans turning on Rumsfeld. I wonder if there might be some reason for putting most of the National Guard in Iraq?

4. Terminology
Voter fraud seems to imply voters did something wrong. We didn't. Perhaps "election fraud" or "vote fraud" might be better terms.
What do you think?

10. How would I do that?
would I just go to a DOS prompt and type in:

ftp http:\\globalfreepress.com

??

I'm not sure how I'd do that

If that's how it's done, it's not answering

Can I ping it?

11. Well this ought to really freak you out then!
I listen to a lot of AM talk radio. Normally there is no problem w/ reception, but today there was NOTHING on any station for about 30 minutes or so. This happened twice today! Once around 11:00 a.m, then again around 12:45 p.m. I am starting to really wonder what is going on. Before this year you could never convince me that I would end up a :tinfoilhat: kinda person, but it seems likely that something big is going down to me, and we don't seem to be privy to any substantial details.

16. My thoughts on that
Look, people like those guys DO weird things like that. Remember when "60 Minutes" WASN'T aired in a number of places (the episode re the National Guard and Dan Rather) in the South??

I recall that the station managers claimed there were "technical difficulties" or some such nonsense. But they were told not to air it-- so they didn't. I think the word came down from Sinclair Broadcasting (another repug-owned operative).

I think it's the very people who have the most to lose who are the ones who degrade and generally denigrate those who "smell a rat." That's how they get people to NOT follow trails.

I think that's why Franken is so skittish about the voter fraud issue: he wants to be taken seriously and is afraid that he won't if he goes down the "conspiracy" road.

But it's not as if there have never been conspiracies!! Every day we hear more and more about this massive election fraud subject-- and it IS a conspiracy!!

After all, what is a conspiracy but secret planning?

22. That is really strange
On no frequency whatsoever?? Was there total silence, or was there a carrier sound? (Radio experts help us out here, please?)

23. No sound on any channel
not even static! Twice in the same day! I was a little freaked out. The only talk radio I could find was some local Christain channel on FM radio! FM music was fine. I had my son turning the dial up and down (he was home sick) over and over agin. There wasn't even any static to indicate it was going to cut out, just NO SOUND anywhere on the AM dial!

12. The DNS name hasn't expired...
Whois says:
Domain Name: GLOBALFREEPRESS.COM
Registrar: TUCOWS INC.
Whois Server: whois.opensrs.net
Referral URL: http://domainhelp.tucows.com

The error message that comes back in the headers is "ERROR_INTERNET_CANNOT_CONNECT" to IP address 207.3.145.250

It looks to me like the server is no longer connected to the Internet.

17. the server 207.3.145.250 is there
i've just tried pinging it.

but if you look at the whois record - http://whois.sc/globalfreepress.com - you'll notice it says response code 500, which means internal server error ("The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request."), suggesting they maybe have an error in the code on their server?

15. This website used to be really good several years ago....
then I remember Rummy giving some news conference where he was describing a "newspaper format" website that brought up article after article condemning the administration and of course he was condemning it...I swear he was describing globalfreepress. More recently the format of the entire site seemed to have changed.

20. globalfreepress is moving to another server...
...according to Nico Haupt (aka Ewing2001), on his 911 Skeptics Unite blog.

<...>GlobalFreePress was shutdown on Sunday morning, bpilgrim- my system administrator retired.
He had no other choice and cannot be blamed, there are personal reasons which i don't want to explain right now.
I owe him my biggest respect. Without him there wouldn't have been stories of ewing2001 on globalfreepress or many other features from WoodyBox, Flori06, John Doe II or -Michael Kane!

<...>

My articles and the 9/11 section of inn.globalfreepress are currently down.In some publicly undisclosed negotiations over the last few weeks, bpilgrim offered to send his server to NYC and it will possibly relaunch next year under the same name and direction of my friend Wat "Rob" Tyler from Shadow Government TV and Michael Kane (GNN, Clarity, ny911truth.org and FTW)

<...>

My updates about "blogosphere-voting fraud updates" had to be terminated, because globalfreepress is moving to another server, as also they're getting new producers and admins, as mentioned above.


So, hopefully, globalfreepress will return soon.

21. hmmm...do a 'whois' and call them up?
The WhoIs will show you who to notify, even if they are an anonymous domain owner.
