Mighty Quiet Out There
Yep. A little too quiet....
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.
Censorship is not dead! It appears that NMCI began blocking network access to our site sometime around the middle of February. We are not sure about this but we've had reports from several people and the lack of NMCI gateways in our log files would appear to confirm this.
Am I upset about this? No way! I'm flattered! To think that someone at NMCI was so afraid of their users finding out the truth that they actually changed their configurations to block our site. I couldn't ask for better publicity!
Our readers will connect to us from their home ISPs or from legacy networks. Or they can simply read the cached articles on Google. Big brother hasn't made it into every aspect of our lives just yet but they are giving it the old college try.
At the risk of being too sanctimonious, let me offer the following:
We are not saying anything in these pages that isn't said out loud, every day, by thousands of victimized NMCI users. I could play a game of cat-and-mouse and move to a different IP address. I could do some tricky DNS stuff. But that would just be playing their game. No, we will be here... right here. We will continue to publish, even if nobody from the NMCI leadership wants to read it. Obviously they don't want you to read it.
