USAWatchdog.com is Back!

By Greg Hunter On February 20, 2013 In Market Analysis67 Comments

Hello to All!

I am happy to report we are back! We suffered a vicious attack that took the USAWatchdog.com site down on Monday, February 18. I do not knowwho is doing this or what their motiveis. I suspect whoever is committing these attacks is not happy with people getting real news and analysis. We still have some work to do to get back to full strength. We are working behind the scenes to make sure everything is functioning correctly before we put up video and longer written posts. This is the second attack in the last 6 weeks. USAWatchdog.com is one of several sites that have been attacked. This hurts our traffic, revenue and will undoubtedly raise the cost of running the site. Thank you for your comments and for your support.

Greg Hunter,

    Wow, I wondered what happened! Great to see the site back up. I am so computer illiterate that I have no idea how someone else can take your website down, or how you can know that’s what happened.
    On an unrelated note, I finally bought some gold and silver the other day. Now the price is dropping like a rock. No worries, though. If it continues to drop, I’ll buy more. 😉

    Henry,
    That is a good plan. It went on sale for you. Please keep in mind the Fed is printing $85 billion a month “open-ended.” What could go wrong?

    I was wondering what had happened. Sorry to hear it. Anybody that is trying to warn fellow Americans on the approaching dangers seems to be getting attacked and heavily monitored these days.

    There is a side to many Americans that have elevated their ‘hate’ mode. I cannot talk to even my neighbors about the economy, without them going back and blaming Bush and even Reagan. Americans willfully want to be in ‘sleep’ mode. I have lost hope in that 95% of folks will ever get awakened until their day comes.

    Thanks for your perserverence and postings on the truth. I will send a donation tomorrow from your address on the web.

    Just shows you’re doing things right Greg. The news media used to have on some of the same guests that you do, but stopped in 2012 because they were all telling the truth & the MSM could not have that.

    Thanks for the great job Greg, it is obvious you are making a dent.

    Greg,

    As soon as this site went down, I knew it was part of the Holder attack. Sorry, I know I am a conspiracy nut, but this administration combined with the Mass media, President, GOP elite, Big Banks, etc..don’t want the American People to know the truth. They (Govt) will not ever give up power until the people throw them all out. They will continue lying to us until we implode. I really hate this dail barrage of lies about unemployment, market, etc. They are destroying american and until we the people throw them out we will continue this downward spiral. We need strong leaders and truth,or we will again reach the point when:In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Source – The Declaration of Independence

      No,you are not a conspiracy nut. IT IS THE TRUTH. Took me many years to become aware of the power elite and their quest for control of everything and everybody. Financial control is only one element. I bet most are not even aware that the federal reserve is not even a government entity, but was instituted and is controlled, completed made and run by bankers. The Rockefellers, Rothchilds, from way back in time put it in place. Ed Griffins’s book “the creature from Jekyl Island” is a must read. Also check out agenda 21, and 2030, geoengineeringwatch.org and more to see where we are headed BESIDES the financial crash. Control of the air, our food with GMOS’, and there is more, a lot more. ALL connects. Wake up people.

    GREG: Happy that you are back; the question is how long? There is no question in my mind that these attacks (seemingly on all sites I have been viewing lately) are a concerted effort to destroy any deviation from, or awareness of, government propaganda. So obviously, the attackers are not the Chinese, Iranians or whomever boogeyman du jour. Most likely from the same source as provides trolls to various sites that disinform rather than educate. Interesting that they are quite transparent, never providing facts but always distractions or half truths.

    Meanwhile keep up your excellent work as long as you can.

    Hi Greg
    Good to see your back up and running.Well just as predicted in previous posts ,the FOMC must toss out some negative news to keep the status quo in balance.Bernanke and Krugman are playing a dangerous game and will be the ultimate fall guys.Although i had my doubts , i’m thinking more that Mr. Williams may be right in his timing. I’ll say this again, that the Fed has painted us in a corner and cannot allow the economy to advance nor decline and must hold this position.This is a very fragile balancing act and is quickly coming to a head IMO
    Thanks Greg/Great reporting as always

    I’m glad to see you back up. I enjoy listening to your interviews. Perhaps if you get the chance to talk to Karl Denninger again, you could ask him to pontificate about the nature of exponential math as it relates to our financial system so that we might better comprehend the nature of our real problems.

    Greg,

    Here is why I and Eric Sprott believe you were attacked:

    “Eric warned The Doc prior to the interview that the KWN and USAWatchdog sites were maliciously attacked the day they published interviews with Sprott. There appear to be powerful interests that would prefer to keep Eric’s thoughts on precious metals out of the public at the present, as SD also sustained a confirmed co-ordinated Apache flood DOS attack during the recording of the interview.”

    The gold and silver conspiracy needs to be covered in the public. The United States has pretty much already sold most of the national wealth to the Chinese and perhaps the Russians and others a bit also. It makes me sick. Keep up the fight.

    Greg, Can you explain in layman’s terms what happens when the money starts flooding back when OPEC or any of the oil producing countries such as Iran, stops using the dollar. When the dollar stops being the world’s currency, what is the progression of events to the common citizen in the U.S.?

      Kathy,
      I heard an economics professor explain it thus way: “When you have a lot of something the price goes down.” If we have a lot of dollars flood back into America the price (buying power) will go down.
