Glenn Beck's Website Under Attack? By Jared Law

From a good friend of mine...

Principled Patriots,

I'm just asking questions here, not proposing theories, but I must admit I am troubled by the fact that for the first time in years, I was unable to access http://www.glennbeck.com for the purpose of listening to Glenn Beck, streamed live from his studio in New York, for a sustained period of time, in this case, well over 90 consecutive minutes, plus another 30 minutes later. In fact, Glenn Beck's website itself was down for most of his radio show this morning, from what I can tell. All throughout this time, all other websites I attempted to access worked just fine, and blazingly fast. Only Glenn's website was having issues. And for the record, my Internet Connection is very fast. Definitely not the issue.

This has happened in the past, for short periods of time, but never for anything approaching an hour, not to mention well over an hour I was able to connect briefly, then it went down again. The total observed outage time was well over two hours of Glenn's show.

When combined with the fact that EVERY OTHER WEBSITE I attempted to access was working just fine during said outage, it appears that Glenn Beck's website may have suffered the first successful DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack that I'm aware of directed against Glenn's website, in the history of his national radio show.

For those who don't know, a DDoS attack is when dishonest individuals with the technical know-how to pull it off, take over hundreds to tens of thousands, or more computers connected to the Internet, by installing some "bad" software, then at a pre-determined time, that software on all infected computers make repeated attempts, at a very high rate of attempts per second, to load the pages from that website. If you have enough infected computers doing this, you can take down even a large website hosted on the best servers with the greatest capacity.

The fact that Glenn's website is hosted and run by professionals who are paid to make sure the website is always up, and they've been watching this very carefully recently, due to Glenn's increase in audience, makes is very unlikely, IMHO, that it would be wise to rule out the possibility that this was an attack (or perhaps an inexplicable, unprecedented, sudden spike in Glenn's popularity). If only the Insider live streaming/webcam features were unavailable for most of Glenn's show, perhaps I would have just written it off to Glenn's team being unprepared for a sudden spike in his popularity, or that of his website, and nothing more than high demand, since there are probably a limited number of slots they can stream the media to, but the whole website? The first broadcast day after Revolutionary Holocaust: Live Free or Die aired?

If nothing else, the timing raises the question.

Reliable web server networks can guarantee 99.9997% uptime, which is equivalent to well under an hour of downtime each YEAR, and such outages NEVER last more than a few minutes at a time, and they're usually a result of updates to the website, and they usually happen in the middle of the night, not during a live show. I've never seen an outage anywhere near this long, ever, on Glenn's website during his show.

Have any of you seen Glenn's website go down, and then stay down throughout the majority of his broadcast, when all other websites were running just fine?

This is serious, because if this is indeed an attack, or even just a test before a real shut-him-down attack, whoever is behind such a thing is undoubtedly an adversary of Liberty, since Glenn is the biggest pro-Liberty voice (some would argue other than Rush Limbaugh) out there.

And let's face it; taking down a website, especially the website of somebody who is such an advocate of Liberty, is a serious thing; it indicates a willingness to forcibly shut down the most effective voice rallying us to The Cause of Liberty. That is a tactic of enemies of Liberty.

It appears the attack is over, but I wanted to know if anybody else noticed this today?

And remember, if they can do this now, to Glenn, and are willing to reveal this capability, without taking his website down permanently, why would they do that?

Is it supposed to be a warning shot from some external group? As in, maybe some group which has nothing to do with the powers that be here in America decided to "do something" about Glenn?

What do you think?

Is it possible that this attack emanated from the government you and I pay taxes to, whether directly, or indirectly?

And in the interest of disclosing all known factors, while the website would be denied to most everybody during such an attack, a lucky few should have been able to get through, so I'm asking everybody who went to Glenn's website during his live radio show this morning to chime in and let us know if you saw this problem.

What are your thoughts?
