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. 😉Reply

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 am a daily reader of yours. Missed your articles over the last few days.
God bless you for all that you do.

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.

This seems to be following Eric Sprott around when he is interviewed.

Once again, thanks for all you do Greg! Another donation sent your way. I never subscribe to ANYTHING…but I always make an exception for you. The content you provide is second to none and worth every last penny (if pennies and dollars are worth anything anymore, that is!).

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.

Although I don’t often post comments, I do read this site everyday. Cograts on your site attack Greg, it means your pissing off the right people, these dirty bastards hate truth more than anything.
keep up the good work!

Thank you Trap. I’d really prefer not to be taken down, but your point is well taken.

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

Greg, I’m glad you’re back up! You are a daily read, and I suspected that something like that may have happened to you… Like you said, there are those who want to stifle alternative news outlets who shine the light of truth in dark corners…
I look forward to seeing more spot-lights in those dark places!

Greg,
Thanx so much again for everything you’re doing.
I can’t begin to express my appreciation and that of
my friends I’ve forwarded your newsletters to.
I always try to catch you on Coasttocoastam as well.
I know Geo Noory counts you as an essential segment
of his program.
When u catch your breath a little, perhaps u could
give us your take on this gold correction and how
long you think it may possibly last.
Blessings,
David

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.

I suspect whoever is committing these attacks is not happy with people getting real news and analysis
==================
Greg, I was watching your video with Sprout, and was posting a messages, typical rebellion stuff, shoot a federal judge for brownie points, very very anti-totalitarian socialist fascists of our gov, and BANG you went down. Coincidence? sure
yeah sure, you bet …..

Who knows Derrick, but the site was taken down in an attack. That is for sure!

And sure enough, when I was posting, I was the first comment for sprout, with the anti-gov sutff, hit the post button, and bang, you go off line.
Mere coincidence? yeah sure, you bet.

Needless to say, the 1st comment for sprout, never got posted ….
mere coincidence? yeah sure …. My IPA should provide a time reference ….
oh yeah, THE CHINESE DID IT, to KWN and Watchdog.
mere coincidence? yeah sure … you bet

If the government will do WAR GAMES, marshal law in the good ole USA, why not be able to shut down, in one go, all the Pro-Bullion News outlet in one go? They were testing their shut down protocals, and seems to have worked very well.
I have long predicted US TANKS on wilshire blvd, before this fiat gamble is done. They can black out anything, except the official emergency news.
Dont worry, the gov has got your back ……
STICK EM UP, AND DROP THE GOLD!!!

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.?
Reply
Greg Hunter
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.
