Does one need to make mirror blogs (sometimes)?

[thorbiorn]

The title question was born of this case:

Connecting the Dots: A smashing anniversary for the Signs of our Times by SOTT Editors published on Tue, 04 Aug 2009 13:39 UTC

Besides the breathtaking hypocrisy of a government responsible for brutal 'ethnocide' against its own people accusing another of doing likewise (when in fact, it did no such thing), Turkey's 'brotherly' consideration of the Uighur people in western China is another reminder of covert US involvement in destabilising the region. Although effectively gagged by the US government, brave whistle-blower Sibel Edmonds has creatively got around her court order to not reveal the details of a high-level spy ring she uncovered by publishing photos of prominent players in her Rogues' Gallery on the internet.

Sibel Edmonds put up a recent notice on http://www.justacitizen.com/ reading Urgent - Google's Blogger Blocks Politically Sensitive Sites! At this moment of posting her blog is up without a warning sign, anyhow I found the timing interesting as it is shortly after her name was mentioned on SOTT. The idea I get from this is that it may be better to set up mirror blogs under same or slightly different name with the probable hosting servers being in different countries. What do you think? For reference and record the letter Sibel wrote:

My Blog Site http://123realchange.blogspot.com is now blocked by Google’s Blogger. They will not let me post during this most sensitive period, when I am about to provide deposition on Foreign US government illegal operations in the United States!



A few weeks ago I started receiving ‘Google & Blogger warnings’ from my technologically savvy friends and well-wishers, who encouraged me to have a mirror site as a back up and or cease using Google’s Blogger all together. I did take these warnings seriously and started looking at alternatives and other options. Well, this is what I got from Blogger yesterday:

I am still looking into it and will be corresponding with them to find out what the heck is going on, but I must say the timing of this is extremely troubling:



Is it coincidence that this comes up when I am subpoenaed to provide sworn deposition on matters that have sent our government scrambling and certain high-level criminal entities sweating big time?



Is this due to my latest interviews for my Boiling Frogs Show on explosive issues such as AIPAC, Iran, Central Asia, and Pakistan? We know big brother NSA has been listening, and my guests have really been talking. We just wrapped up our phone interviews with Phil Giraldi (on AIPAC & Israel and more), Richard Barlow (on Pakistan and what our government didn’t want its people to know), Joe Trento (on Iran, Brzezinski, and more), Sandalio Gonzalez (on our phony War on Drugs, House of Death, Kent Memo, and more)…You see what I am getting at here?



Or is it the fact that this blog is becoming more popular, the visitors’ number has been going up rapidly, and its content getting picked up by many, nationally and internationally? And I am talking about content and topics that are blacklisted by the US Mainstream Media.



I don’t know the answer. I may never know. However, what I know is this: I better find a different or multiple different, blog sites and keep this forum alive. I also want to warn others who may become subject to this kind of notice, or maybe get terminated without any notice!



Please help me, thus all of us, resolve this blockage immediately, since in the next few days this blog may prove to be extremely crucial to report developing news and cases which will not be covered by MSM.



Thank you,

Sibel Edmonds

Maybe what happened, was that someone, lets propose a psychopath as a hypothesis, out of 'malice' reported her as a spammer. The nerd in charge pressed the key and sent the automatic email without checking content. After being reviewed following Sibel's complaint, the order was revoked. Can it be that simple? Anyhow it gives one something to think about.

Anyhow it gives one something to think about.

Indeed. I use Google for nothing but the kind of research that they would probably think is benign - not likely to be related to anything political.
