Infowars editor-at-large Paul Joseph Watson announced on Twitter that the site was offline and had been under cyber attack for over a week since Big Tech launched its purge.

That's my guess.

(12,586 posts)During the convention one hacker got into the Florida Secretary of State's website and changed the sample vote-reporting page (not the real one) to reflect different candidates and different vote totals. The leader got more than a billion votes.
The hacker was 11 years old, and it took him 10 minutes to do the hack.
I have no doubt that Infowars was hacked. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

(22,976 posts)They run a con, but dont give a hoot about the destructive capacity of the unrestrained garbage that they spew. Certain higher human emotions are foreign to them: empathy, civility, reason, concern, a conscience, etc.
Theres a sociopath in the White House as well. See if the partial identifiers below dont fit a certain somebody we all know:

<snip>
Sociopaths are fast talkers. Their words are mostly false, if not entirely false. But they use many, many words designed to cover their behavior. They may be a completely different person from who they say that they are. Watch out for extremes. Big promises. Big stories, about the past or the future. Big plans, with no basis for them or no experience at whatever theyre planning.
