While Browsing Zero Hedge From A Certain Government Agency...
... one gets the following most recently added "blocked" page.
Thanks to NSA/CSS Policy 6-6, and NSA/CSS Directive 130-1, Paragraph 21-E, US public servants' minds will remain uncorrupted by the truth.

Get a VPN like Avast, and set your 'origin' to be Malaysia, and then will be all good, its worth $5 a month.
Especially if you download movies 24/7 from piratebay.se, .. you don't want the internet provider to know what your doing, and the use of a VPN encrypts everything your doing.

The use of stuff like Tor isn't safe, cuz it doesn't provide 'sand-boxing', e.g. trojan horse software can still get your IP, but with VPN they only see what you want them to see.
TOR is probably not 100% safe not least because the NSA could be running a lot of TOR Nodes. But TOR claims that nodes do not retain logs and each step of the way is encrypted (as in "Onion Router"), so that deals with your "sand-boxing" concern as a trojan cannot look backwards along the chain.
On VPNs, what's to stop the runners keeping logs and revealing what your IP Address is to the NSA?
I work at Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and it happened to me too. Fuck them if they hold it against me for posting this. This is supposed to be a free country. I go to ZH daily for news, usually with my morning coffee. Today by browser just said "Connection Rest". Fuck them. Keep stacking and live free.
That was even more liberal in the army in the Eastern Block during the cold war. In almost every room there was a radio receiver tuned to a Western radio station, like AFN (American Forces Network), BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Service) or RIAS (Radio in the American Sector) because the Eastern stations had a shitty music program. Of course, it was against the rules, but not many cared about it. The sergeants didn't care at all, only when an officer walked in, you had to tune the radio to a different station quickly, but for sure he knew what was going on. You dialed back as he walked out of the room and closed the door.
Are they only blocking ZH or are they blocking other/all sites? This image doesn't tell an entire story, imo, and is thus sensationalism as presented.
The beast is cornered
I don't know about gov't agencies, but for the past month or so Norton/Symantec has blocked my access to ZH on several occasions. And it's blocked me 3 times tonight.
Arrest the traitor named Clapper.
Ever since the first wiki-leaks a few years ago the NSA and Company has blocked anything and eveybody sympathetic to SNOWDEN or Wikileaks, its illegal for a US employee or Contractor to even look at 'classified info', and of course everything snowden realeased and wiki has and a lot of stuff on ZH comes from such sources, and therefore MUST be sanitized for US personel public and private.
*
Just saying,... so fuck yes ZH is blocked, so fucking what, on the other hand its highly ranked on GOOGLE. Probably to make it easier for law enforcement to find the trouble makers.
*
So fucking what?
ZH has an ego a mile wide, and loves this shit when folks post their shit, or block them, ... but so what. If they're not blocking you, then your not alive.
If ZH ain't deleting you, then your not saying anything.
NSA could never seem to decide whether what Snowden released was all a fabrication, in which case it couldn't be classified, or it was real and thus showed they were engaged in unconstitutional and treasonous actions, in which case it was classifed.
But in either case they seemed pretty sure no one should be told about it.
I saw many MIL Cables that said that reminded everyone not to look at the wiki-leaks or snowden releases as they contained classified info, and as such only those on a need to know basis had authority to view, and that they were logging all those without authority to view, and should you view without authority you were committing a felony, and would lose your job and your security clearance.
I must say I like very much that concept of classified public information. Very Orwellian. If you talk about anything concrete revealed by Snowden and read in a newspaper, a blog, a tweet, or any media , you are guilty of release of classified information, and be jailed for up to 2 years... This ensures, even more than the "war on drugs", that everyone is guilty of something, which is very convenient (though not used yet)
Yes but in the face of the best economy in the history of the world ZH posts every bad event in the world. Wanna know how America's going to end before sex bots invented in 2017? Read drudge.
Wait we just established yesterday that the same right-wing assholes that own drudge.com, also own zh,...
"ZH is not the website your looking for, ... move along" :)
I never assumed that ZH was anti-government, on the contrary, I view ZH as reactionary propaganda tool of American Enterprise Institute. There are quite a few blogs that won't link to ZH either, the liberitarian anti-banker slant on ZH is just a smokescreen. The site promotes right wing economics.
I'd ask what you could possibly mean by "right wing economics" given your proposition that, notwithstanding the content of hundreds of articles, the "anti-banker" slant {anti-Fed?} is just a "smoke screen" but upon brief reflection, it's clear that you use "right wing" as a pejorative and token for "incorrect," because it opposes the "left wing" [and therefore correct, and kind, and decent, and made of rainbows and freedom] economics of, say, Paul Krugman, which, I'm obliged to report, makes you a bit of an obtuse cunt.
Cookie?
There are many ways to manipulate markets which can have the effect of screwing people who used to spend their time analysing fundamentals and making investment decisions. Such an approach lends itself to the Austrian School model of economics which advocates government getting their dirty fingers out of the pot. Right wing economics if you wish. As opposed to the Left wing Keynesian interventionist model espoused by the likes of Krugman and favoured by virtually every government.
Plenty of room there for criticism of current happenings. Enter Zerohedge.
I have always assumed that people behind ZH are utterly pissed off by what they see going on: every market is manipulated, Fed spewing USD billions to create false markets, bankers committing massive frauds etc etc.
the "code" does exist, and the date difference is due to the server and end user being in different time zones.
However, from the looks of it, you could get around this sort of thing with a thumb drive with a lite browser on it, using a different port. For example.
So this can't be a "serious" .gov agency.
Please.
Then again, if you build a network you intend to breach anyway you probably don't care too much about security. But this is not that.
Also, they probably have a pretty long list of verboden sites, or simply have a list of allowables... regardless of what message is actually generated on screen.
I have however seen more and more links to ZH in places I haven't seen such links before, which means additional eyes.
Also, Michael Snyder is a 33rd degree Mason. I'm not supposed to know that, but I do. Satoshi told me in a usenet group.
All this aside, Lumberjack's post above about the FCC is, imho, worth paying some mind to. Indeed, along with DHS, Treasury, and the Fed, the FCC and a handful of other agencies are vital for increasing information control in concert with the private sector.
I bet few of you have heard of the prior FCC head. He was good buddies with the former FTC head, Jon Leibowitz.
I don't know if those guys play basketball with the head of the FDIC
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_J._Gruenberg
or the recent heads of the CFTC
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Massad
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Gensler
Or Obama's appointments to the Fed [Yellen, Fischer, Brainard] or Treasury, or the OMB
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Zients
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Orszag
or the IRS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Werfel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_H._Shulman
or the council of economic advisors, or national economic council....
But the point is, I bet they get together and talk about how Obama is a secret muslim which is totally obvious based on his appointments
Seriously.
"Satoshi told me in a usenet group."
Years ago we used to have an old saying "if it appeared on Usenet, it must be true" ;-)
