why do you conspiracy theorists think Hilary needs to shut down social media in order to win this election? She's ahead in most major polls and hasn't had to resort to those tactics. It is doubtful her momentum will be stopped.

This site is hamster powered and not susceptible to disruptions of the electrical grid. Of course, if any of the hamsters get overworked, they may go down and cause problems for the site.

Blocking certain areas and seeing if info still flows through. If it does, they know they need to move onto the next grid. If it doesn't then they know a leak is potentially coming from that area.

Because the "polls" have over sampled democrats by as much as THIRTY-FOUR percent just to give her the appearance of a five point edge in certain states.

We have the DNC admitting ON VIDEO they conduct massive interstate voter fraud (what more do you want?). It's obvious these polls are weighted to condition us to fraudulent voting.

It's a lost cause. They're just ignoring every technical fact about this.

Folks,
You can still reach a website affected by this DDoS on DYN if you know the direct ip address

If I was "leak checking" like you suggested, I'd find a way to block regional routes to the site rather than kill the DNS.
