At: http://www.nz911truth.org/?q=node/10
It has been discovered today that New Zealanders cannot access Alex Jones' flagship websites - infowars.com and prisonplanet.com
Almost everyone we have contacted so far can not connect, except for 3 Telstra users. An Orcon technical support employee did a traceroute to follow all of the router hops; and they failed when they hit asianetcom's router in Sydney. The same employee also mentioned that Telstra uses a different route, which allows Telstra customers to access the blocked sites.
Every other website on the internet works for the affected users, so it seems suspicious that alternative media websites would suddenly stop working for the vast majority of New Zealanders. Alex Jones' staff have been notified.
Action may soon be taken, but in the meanwhile news reading enthusiasts are advised to use www.ninjaproxy.com to read infowars and prisonplanet. |

| Yep, tried to access an old article from 2008 today for somebody and thought it might have been because it was gone or something. Several attempts later to the homepage on 2 different browsers confirmed it was a little more than that! |

| Orcon unblocked it. Limelight Content Delivery Network in Australia was behind the blocking move. It was a premeditated move to guage public reaction. One of my mates in Austin, Texas saw Alex Jones yesterday and had a good yarn to him about it. |

| Lucky you :mrgreen:[/quote] You are right Crakka,after 12 months of no sky the kids have got over it and are reading the same sort of stuff as us.Should have done it years ago.I used to listen to RNZ National in my ute but now even that is so full of sh$t I just listen to the ipod,the media in NZ is so full of bullsh@t and inane rambling it is no wonder we are so ignorant.Alex can be pretty boring but every now and then you pick up something that can send you on another web search to put the pieces of the puzzle together. |

| That's really good to hear A Butler :wink: Yeah, when I said I didn't listen to Alex Jones I meant regularly. I used to only listen to bFM for years, decades actually :shock: but that's so full of little commy f*ckheads these days (their movie reviewer's even called Fabian Fanboy for f*ck's sake!) that I can't stand listening to their pro global warming BS lines anymore. Guess you could say I've finally grown out of it. Anyway, these days it's an mp3 player all day at work loaded with various Oracle shows, Alan Watt, Rense, a little music sometimes and yes, even the occasional AJ :wink: I like to mix it up as much as poss... |

| Oh and forgot to say - I just listened to AJ's 2 hour Sunday show today. Spends just about the whole show talking about censorship with NZ getting almost the bulk of the mention. Great stuff :wink: |
