Hi everyone,

Like some of you, I am a regular reader of SurvivalBlog dot com, and noticed that for the past couple of days, the website has been 'down'. Has it been hacked, or what? I can understand normal maintenance, but it has never been down this long. James Wesley Rawles has always been very punctual in updating the site daily, even when his wife died last fall.

So this discontinuance has been puzzling to me. I had missed it a couple days over the weekend, due to work. Anybody read/hear anything?

Since others can still get the site is it possible that you were banned?

It's the government operating under the guise of protecting the public from child pornography or copyright infringement. The home page of survivalblog.com lists their IP address, 64.92.111.122. Rawles asks that people copy it and keep it as a hard copy somewhere. Right now, it should get anyone into the website. It seems that the government "accidentally" shut down 84,000 websites. Here are the two links provided by Rawles.

Was it a mistake, a test, a threat, or something worse? You, gentle reader, must consider this.

Why do I have such a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Can this be for real? I have no words.

I've had no problems accessing the site.

Clearing your cache might solve the problem.
