While it appeared to be a DDOS attack, liberal media have been lobbying Infowars basic infrastructure providers to shut them down — so many fans of the website immediately assumed the worst.

Infowars political commentator Paul Joseph Watson told the Gateway Pundit that they are currently investigating the cause and who is behind it.

Just before it went offline, the website received a large spike in fake traffic, likely indicating a DDOS attack — which is when a website is flooded with requests so it overloads.

Further indicating the cultural infestation of the left with a willingness to silence opposing ideas.

Very dangerous. Much more dangerous than anything Alex Jones spouts.

Been wondering when this would happen. I thought it would happen leading up to the election. Alex and the others will have to just start their own company, complete with all the infrastructure to go with it.

Every attack on Jones is a legitimization of his message.

Their efforts only make him stronger. Contrary to popular belief, Alex got a number of things right.

The idea of celebrating the suppression of someones 1st amendment rights because you don’t like what they say is worse than what they’re saying.

I wonder at why point in this devolution of our society will I join the fray and actively work to suppress the communist Left. Sad times indeed.


Could have just as easily been establishment republicans

I can't imagine having a bunch of stupid bed wetting conspiracy theorists as the image of your base helps you politically

I’ve never celebrated his “suppression.” I’ve laughed at you guys for thinking he is being suppressed.

Go share your fake outrage with the ones calling for the government to step in and limit facebooks and twitters first amendment rights and force them to put him back on their networks.

The government is not arresting Alex Jones. It's so damn annoying people keep messing that up.

Absolutely right.

This is more analogous to the KKK (a private organization) suppressing blacks from saying anything.

When Facebook strings Jones up a tree or burns his house down, sure, it will be exactly like that.

You fricking guys.
