I was thinking bandwidth (at first) when they suspended my website. But then I realized, I have unlimited bandwidth, so that wouldn’t be a reason to suspend me. So I call them on the phone to: first to get the account restored and gain access, and second to figure out why it went down like it did, so I could stop the problem from happening again. Why was the performance on my site so degraded and using so much resources it caused a large company with lots of servers to slow to a crawl, and almost crashed the company’s servers? Good question!

So I get into nosing through server logs, boring stuff mostly. Then I find something very interesting. Several IP numbers (IP - Internet Protocol - numbers used to assign addresses to individual computers and websites) are calling for the same files (huge movie files) over and over and over. And as I read the logs it becomes perfectly clear what is going on here. Someone is trying to crash my website. Why else would someone repeatedly load movies 30, 40, 50, 60, 1000 (etc…) times a minute? And they weren’t just loading them from one computer in the address block. Heck no!. Try 20 or more computers per block, and doing this from several address blocks all at the same time. Who would be so evil?

I then decide to run a search for the perpetrators of this grave injustice, this crime against my site. And what do I find? Lo and behold, it turns out that a big chunk of the address blocks in question belong to the CIA or Central Intelligence Agency. Wow

To make a long story short, their (CIA) attack with computer bots was an attempt to take my website down. It (the CIA bot network script) was aimed at some old movies I had, with an inefficient plugin running the scripts that calls for the movies to play. This inefficiency in the plugin, combined with the CIA bot network calling for it over and over, was in turn causing server performance degradation that almost shut down a company which houses more than 186,000 websites.

Now I had to fix the problem. What to do, what to do?

The fix, it turns out, was actually pretty easy. Deactivate the plugin, and then block the offending evil CIA bots from ever visiting again. It’s a done deal. Ha Ha.

OMG I did it good this time. I managed to somehow exceed bandwidth so much that it degraded a major server. Wow!! Hopefully it is under control, now. Scared me good.

A US EPA “Children’s Environmental Exposure Research Study” (CHEERS) was approved to assess children’s exposure to pesticides in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida. The two-year study monitored developmental changes in babies, from birth to age 3, who were exposed to pesticides in their homes.

Senator Barbara Boxer (D) California tried to stop it, but the study went through. The pesticide study deliberately exposed Florida children to pesticides in their homes. Barbara equated this study with experiments in the Nazi death camps. In the video you will see Senator Barbara Boxer arguing trying to put an end to it.

A study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency payed parents to test their children’s reaction to pesticides.

The CHEERS program asked 60 area families with infants or children from nine to 12 months old to volunteer for the study. All participating families received up to $970 and were required to have their children exposed to pesticides through routine spraying in their homes.

Included in the pesticides and chemicals to be monitored were:

Fluorinated pesticides: Bifenthrin, Fipronil, Lambda-cyhalothrin, and Cyfluthrin I, II, III, IV, total;
Fluorinated chemicals: 4-fluoro-3-phenoxybenzoic acid and the perfluorinated PFOS and PFOA.

During the hearing, Senator Barbara Boxer, a California Democrat, criticized the Bush administration and Children’s Environmental Exposure Research Study (CHEERS) and called on Johnson to end it. Boxer and Senator Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat, blocked Johnson’s nomination until they were assured that controversial pesticide study was ended.

U.S. EPA Acting Administrator Stephen Johnson told senators at the hearing that he would not cancel the study of children’s exposure to pesticides, but he backed down later and said the study would not be conducted with EPA funding.

While CHEERS will not go forward with EPA funding, the exact same study can proceed with private sponsors, according to Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). “In fact, the American Chemistry Council, which represents 135 companies including pesticide manufacturers, had already pledged $2 million toward the study’s $9 million overall cost,” said the organization, which represents government employees in the natural resources fields.

Johnson claimed that the Centers for Disease Control had approved CHEERS. In the Federal Register, the EPA said that experiments that intentionally dose human subjects with pesticides and other chemicals will be evaluated and approved by the agency in a “wide open case-by-case” manner.

Be Patriotic, Dissent, Organize Activists, Protest the Bush administrations sick policies. No more needless deaths. Don’t Let Them Poison Our Children. Fly the flag upside down.

U.S. Code, Title 4, Chapter 1, Section 8(a)Here are some links to get you started.

Patriotic Downloads These are right side up but can be turned upside down in a graphics program.

It’s our flag too:

An act of desperation and indeed patriotism.

Barbara equated this study with Hitler and experiments in the Nazi death camps, and the Nuremberg Tribunals. She was right. We have domestic terrorists creating Nazi experiments right in our own backyard poisoning our children.

The song “Who Are The Nazis Now?” is a great protest song.

This is a poem I wrote about a very bad time in my life when I wound up in a Guerilla Warrior camp, in Nicaragua, drug there and temporarily held hostage by the Guerillas of FUAC (Frente Unido Andres Castro).


Fue un sendero
There was a path
Un sendero luminoso
A shining path
Un Sendero sin huellas
A path without footprints
Sin huellas
Without footprints
A la excepcíon de los huellas
Except for the footprints
De los Guerrilleros
Of the Guerilla Warriors
Guerrilleros fuertemente armados
Guerillas heavily armed
El sendero de la mariposa azúl
The path of the blue butterfly
El sendero de los FUAC (Frente Unido Andres Castro)
The path of FUAC (United Front Andres Castro)
El sendero de los Guerrilleros
The Path of the Guerillas
El sendero, no es lo mío
The path, it is not mine
Pero por un tiempo breve
But for a short time
Allí fue yo en el sendero
There I was in the path
Un sendero luminoso
A shining path
Un sendero sin huellas
A path without footprints
Sin huellas
Without footprints
A la excepcíon de las huellas
Except for the footprints
De los Guerrilleros de FUAC
Of the Guerilla Warriors of FUAC
Guerrilleros fuertemente armados
Guerillas heavily armed

¿Quienes son FUAC?
Who is FUAC
FUAC (Frente Unido Andres Castro)
Son Guerrilleros
They are Guerillas
Gracías a mi gobierno y El CIA por soportándoles y finanzándoles a los Guerrilleros. ¡Y a los americanos Son sus dolares de impuestos trabando por tí!
Thanks to my government and the CIA, for supporting and financing the guerrillas. And to you Americans, these are your tax dollars at work!

Reagan - Bush Crime Syndicate Lost History
