The curious case of a disappearing link - am I paranoid?
Submitted by freddomsupp on Mon, 04/23/2012 - 00:19I reported a few days ago on this forum about the Wikileaks lawyer who had a chance encounter with Eric Holder at the Sundance film festival. She has since been placed on an inhibited list for travel, apparently by a US agency. My original post can be seen here.

The strange thing is that despite being freely available for months, the salon article detailing the encounter has mysteriously disappeared within the last 24 hours.
I think I am becoming a conspiracy theorist.

Who wouldn't be paranoid?
I just read the link and WTF??????
Jennifer Robinson...first she caught Holder off guard and called him out & now she's busted "them" watching her? Scary stuff.
With any kind of media coverage...that's riot material (IMO)

Glad you found your link again
and it should serve as an illustration why people should not immediately run to 'its a conspiracy!' everytime something happens to a link or story available on the internet.
Shit happens. Websites change. Distributed hosts fail. Routers fail. RAID arrays die. ISP's may be caching content.

When I was researching
the income tax several years ago, I posted a link to U.S. Customs (now ICE?) tariff information, as the income tax ties in with such tariffs, and within a couple days the link was 'dead'. In other words, it appeared to still be there, but it wouldn't go anywhere when clicked. I tried again a week later, and it was still 'dead'. What I learned from that is to download any information you want to keep before you tell the world about it, since it might become unavailable.
This one?

That's the one
If you can access that from America, maybe it's a local issue. I'm getting a 502 Bad gateway error, even on Google cache in Australia

Yep - I'm paranoid
The site is back up - apparently it has been revamped, and the older post went missing for awhile. I'll crawl back in my box

Censorship is communication
Please don't confuse good with bad, because you are told to do so, or because "everyone else does".
Healthy skepticism can be reinforced over time, as useful, as good, based upon natural concern for danger in the present and in the future.
Paranoia, on the other hand, can be an unhealthy process of failing to employ healthy skepticism effectively.
No one is perfect, so it is natural to wander off of an ideal balance.
Some people claim perfection, and those are the one's that tend to claim authority over everyone else, leading to these situations of tyranny that measure up accurately in so many areas today.
Demonstrating healthy concern, leading to careful perusal of the facts, arriving at a more accurate perception of the real world, is commendable for many obvious reasons - yes or no?

salon is a main stream site. Perhaps the upper managment got a call from someone in a high level of authority? Perhaps I am paranoid. This song helps though :)
