The DDOS Cyber attack ramped up yesterday with a flood of traffic coming in from Hong Kong.
Eric took many measures today that improved things, but it remains difficult to write and publish blog posts.
I have paid for a new level of security and tools today which had some success, but it is an arms race with the vandals who don’t want you to read this site.
Traffic patterns are obviously artificial. We see very high strange but regular spikes from US sources, and then the long grinding burst of thousands of new “fans” in Hong Kong who all decided to read an Australian site this afternoon. Compare the new robot traffic to the normal size of reader traffic in Australia, France and Germany.
Which country would have billions of dollars to lose if Australia stopped ordering wind-trinkets, batteries and solar-voodoo and woke up to the glorious power of cheap brown coal?
So behind the scenes it is hard to write or publish while we add armor to the site to control the trouble, and so please forgive errors, typos or other unusual lack of polish. I can’t predict when a draft will be saved…
Thanks to people who have donated to help shore up the site.
DDOS = Distributed Denial-of-Service attack.
The site may not be displaying properly. But if you see a “box” in the comments section, it may work to stretch it out and write in it. (I am doing that experiment right now).
Hopefully the vandals will get bored when they see that we remain on air, undeterred, and will use these attacks to get more attention.
Thanks to everyone for your patience and peristence.

Reading it well at 6:30am, Sydney time, Jo. You are doing a grand job. Make sure you let us know if you need urgent chocolate supplies!

some one must be financing this attack

Is China so scared of Jo ??.
Sounds like delusions of grandeur, the Galileo syndrome reborn.

The site seems to be working OK in Northeastern Ohio, US, at 12:15PM EST.
150
Good to know RicDre. Perhaps Hong Kong traffic has more effect on local servers Downunder?
180
Have you any idea whether those carrying out the attack have been directed to do so by a specific individual or organisation or are you just the unlucky recipient of a group of bored idiots who wanted to see what they could do to a random blog?
71
These are not bored idiots who command 500,000 computers or phones or IPs.
The strange patterns have unmistakable bot fingerprints. US readers rise 6 fold every few hours like clockwork, as if to test the site to see what breaks. Also Hundreds of thousands of new requests are coming in “direct” rather than being referred by links in, or by google search, or some other natural source.
Two weeks before the election here on Easter Saturday, during the most inconvenient time, we had the first onslought of traffic six times normal — but from Singapore, The USA and Brazil, which makes no sense. Then last week again traffic ramped up to 20 times normal, from the USA, Vietnam and Brazil. Now, its Hong Kong and the USA.
There are tools that identify a bot attack pattern. So yes, we know someone that controls a bot army of half a million IPs (at least) is turning up the dial. They also seem to shift tactics in response to what we do. There is human mind there strategizing. Eric used the word “malicious” today.
In the first attack in April they were both sophisticated and bizarrely obvious at the same time. (They were coordinating a large bot army spread across three countries, but only hitting the same two particular old pages.) Apparently they wanted us to know it was an attack — as if the point was to intimidate or perhaps scare me out of writing about them. The largest source of the first attacks was especially from a large chinese owned cloud server. OF course, other bad actors could hire room on those servers too, it’s not “proof”, just suggestive.

I have not had any problems at all with your site the last few days, here in Southern England.

There are vast sums of money being made by climate scam grifters so it makes sense, from their point of view, to silence critics of their scam and they have the money, power and influence to do it. Not to mention the full support of Australia’s “Net Zero” Government.
Plus the Left in general are intolerant of alternative opinions of any kind and are also extremely well funded to silence their opponents.
Also, Australia being now an effective One Party State, the grifters and the Left are having a dream run. The Government is able to do whatever it wants and is unafraid to do so and does.
In addition, nearly all the media is uncritical of government policy and follow the Official Narrative and there are virtually no independent outlets except Jo’s site, Sky News Australia and very few others.
But we must not be silenced.
490
It’s working OK for me Jo, in Melbournistan although I can tell that after a post the blue bar at the top of my Android browser remains stuck half way for a while indicating the site has not fully reloaded even though superficially it all seems there, except for the edit button.
It also takes a while for the edit button to appear, about 2.5 minutes and that’s when the blue bar disappears indicating the site has finally fully loaded.
This behaviour is not much different than since the silencing began. No different today than the previous days while under attack.

Net Zero is on an obvious path to rejection on the international stage. No doubt Australia will be among “The Last of the Mohicans” to come to its senses on this issue. Let’s hope for all of us and our descendants that this comes in time before our nation is truly stuffed. The link below is to some of my recent musings on this issue which I have passed on to a rural journo mate.

David:
Turnbull has no idea about USA politics. Trump is trying to enforce Federal Policy in a State controlled by Democrats, who have caused a problem and aren’t doing anything about it in the hope that this will cause problems with Trump.
Unlikely. And the State of California will suffer – perhaps if Trump stops other States sending electricity into them. Winter is coming.
171
Shut off some of the water they have stolen from up north, that should smarten up their thinking.

It’s extraordinary how Gavin Newsom claims he has sovereignty. He doesn’t. And that immigration in the form of illegal aliens is a State matter, not a National matter. Except the rioters are flying Mexican flags, not Californian ones. The Federation, as in all democracies, cedes defence and immigration and currency and trade to the Federals. All other matters are state. Education, health, police. Yes, Trump has called in the army because America is under siege not least by Mexico and Mexicans.
180
How complicated can it possibly be? If someone has entered the United States (or anywhere) illegaly, i.e. without a visa or permission of any kind, they need to be rounded up and removed, or jailed if they have committed crimes and then removed.
70
United States of America.
So how could any of the states be so called Sanctuary States offering refuge to illegal immigrants who have broken immigration laws?
40
Immigration is the sole prerogative of the Federal government. In every Federation. As there are no internal borders, customs, armies. Enter anywhere and you get access to the whole country, so it has to be a Federal matter.
Yes, so Sanctuary cities and States are prima facie illegal in a Federation. A stunt. Unless they mean it in the more general waffly business of preferential state support in health, education, shelter. Things they control. But as a device to allow blatant flaunting of immigration laws, illegal. That is now being tested.
Gavin Newsom has just been told to go away. By a Clinton appointed democrat Federal judge. He does not have his own army either. He only has police.

Her purpose is not to promote free speech but to suppress it. She would be unlikely to approve of very much written on this site, after all, most of it challenges the Official Narrative, the very thing she supports and to suppress dissent against that narrative. I would not be drawing her attention to this site or any other pro-science, pro-reason, pro-freedom, pro-free-speech sites.
As the Institute of Public Affairs said:
220
So you are saying the person employed to ensure safe and threat free speech sees her job as suppression of free speech. How absurd.
100
The phrase “I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it” is attributed to Voltaire but is popularly the definition of free speech. The left and totalitarians have reversed this. In South Africa “Kill the Boers” is legally declared not hate speech. Nor is “gas the Jews” in Australia. And the ‘Free Speech’ czar is actually the head of internet censorship.
150
“So you are saying the person employed to ensure safe and threat free speech sees her job as suppression of free speech. How absurd. ”
As per the firemen in Ray Bradbury’s ‘Farenheit 451’, paid to burn books.
“I would not be drawing her attention to this site ”

eSafety will save us! Read the name. We will be safe from ‘e’!
Meanwhile the ‘swamp’ are using what appears to be unsourced and largely false narratives from a Main Stream Media Publication to direct concerned citizens to the eSafety Commission. Luckily the Principal involved appears to have acted quietly and deliberately in dealing with what appears to have been a beat up over something which is beyond the control of even a highly paid Commissioner. When we have a society being forced by over regulation into electronic communication and social media, how can anyone be expected to control the actions of teenagers with access to devices and the internet. Kids will be Kids and some will do really stupid things. Some will do really poorly at school, end up in a free arts course at Uni, join a political activist organisation and end up running the country. Really poorly!

As Australia’s economy continues to be destroyed by “green” energy, Australia will have less and less to sell except rocks and gas. And in desperation, with nothing else left to sell, Australia will accept whatever meagre price is offered, as happens in Third World (developing) countries. Who will benefit from all these cheap, unprocessed minerals? China no doubt.
Grok says:
Recall how Howard gave away Australia’s gas supply to the Chicomms at world’s cheapest prices on a 30 year contract with no provision for market price or inflation, still running despite Australia having a domestic gas shortage.

You are so right, David. I am continually saying lately that Oz is being carried by mining and agriculture. All else is just service in a service economy. What a sad indictment of a country that boasted so much promise.
230
Service economy is staffed by Servants and despite the initial grift (see NDIS) we are experiencing, Servants will be paid with servants wages. Might be an impressive dollar value only tithes, taxes, inflation and exchange rate will mean you will be existing, eating and living like a landless peasant.

Jo, your site is coming across very normally on Gold Coast. It is no wonder your site gets attacked, you one of very few who have the courage to tell the truth about climate change. Your articles reveal how this made up scenario and the rabid left are destroying western civilisation.
The overwhelming immigration to destroy social cohesion, the total abandonment of Israel by the so called elites, the support for terrorism etc.etc is all signs of our country in severe decline. Keep up your great work, at least we are in the “know” with your articles.

A modest tactical Nuke might fix the problem.
The EMP and pressure shock front might get somebody’s attention. Then again, it is likely that the Hong Kong operation is just the “public” humiliation and taunting outlet; fed from “somewhere else”.
I doubt that more conventional methods will EVER be enough, especially given the totally laughable, and deliberately obtuse state of “International Law”.

Put your nuke away, not worth the stress, China has kicked out the dictator and there is a better than even chance that DDOS will become a thing of the past.

On a less gloomy note.
Archaeologists confirm James Cook’s Endeavour has been found according to the Australian National Maritime Museum as of June 4th.
A shipwreck site known as RI 2394 in Newport Harbour, Rhode Island has been confirmed as that of Captain James Cook’s HM Bark Endeavour (later sold off and named Lord Sandwich at the time it was scuttled).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMJyfkeJ8JY
It took archaeologists 25 years to uncover enough of the wreck from deep silt to make the confirmation. The call was made not on absolute evidence, such as a ship’s bell, but on the preponderance of evidence that all pointed to the Endeavour and pointed away from any other vessel. It was one of a line of wrecks associated with the siege of Newport by the British in 1778.
Had the ship been around 50 years later it might have been preserved like the Victory and the Cutty Sark. Instead the modest little ship that created so much maritime history, opening up the Pacific to the world and indirectly founding nations, was deliberately sent to the bottom by the British navy to block the harbour.
171
What are the plans?
Is it classified as “war grave” ?
30
It had been used as a prison hulk for American POWs, but was empty when scuttled.
The ship’s timbers are now exposed and being eaten by shipworm. They want to preserve it but it sounds like there might be some wrangle over what to do with it and who gets to keep it.
50
If Australia still had friendly relations with the US and didn’t have a PM and FM with TRUMP Derangement Syndrome and we had spare money because we hadn’t thrown it all away on wind and solar, Australia could have purchased the wreck and preserved and displayed it.

Shadow home secretary and Croydon MP Chris Philp said: ‘Two days ago, volunteers had to take matters into their own hands and clean graffiti off tube carriages because Sadiq Khan was failing to act.
‘Today the Mayor received his knighthood. This is a slap in the face to Londoners who have faced a council tax hike of over 70 per cent, a surge in knife crime and an increase in red tape stifling bars and restaurants on his watch.

AI is a data-breach time bomb, reveals new report
Once unleashed, however, AI acts like a hungry Pac-Man, scanning and analyzing all the data it can grab. If AI surfaces critical data where it doesn’t belong, it’s game over. Data can’t be unbreached.
99% of organizations have sensitive data unnecessarily exposed to AI tools.
90% of sensitive cloud data, including AI training data, is open and accessible to AI tools.
98% have unverified apps, including shadow AI, within their environments.
Taken together, researchers found that no organization was fully prepared for AI. All 1,000 organizations examined were at risk of a breach in the AI era.

Very little publicity has been given by media to the meeting in Singapore last year of 14 countries including Australia at an Indo-Pacific Region gathering and one of the decisions signed by them all including Australia was for introduction of nuclear technology electricity generators, power stations and plants.
Early in 2024 Australia signed an Agreement and placed orders with Rolls-Royce UK for nuclear reactors to be installed in the new design and generation nuclear submarines to be built in Australia and the UK – SSN AUKUS.
90
I wonder if the signing of that Agreement by Australia relates to already built and operating ANSTO Lucas Heights Sydney Opal nuclear reactor and two others previously built and operated on that location since 1958, and the AUKUS Agreement and nuclear submarines for RAN?
Australia couldn’t oppose nuclear electricity generators for other countries, so was that a trap for Albanese Labor political agenda that had to be signed?
60
Dennis, the overwhelming conclusion I have about nuclear energy / power production in Australia is the mushroom effect. We’ve all been kept in the dark and fed cow manure for decades. Along with some sensible upgrades of the present coal fleet we at least should have had a nuclear plant up and running by now. Great comments, by the way.

(When asked merely if they accept evolution, 45 percent of Americans say yes. The figure is 70 percent in China.) When the movie Jurassic Park was shown in Israel, it was condemned by some Orthodox rabbis because it accepted evolution and because it taught that dinosaurs lived a hundred million years ago-when, as is plainly stated at every Rosh Hashonhan and every Jewish wedding ceremony, the Universe is less than 6,000 years old.

Confidential Whitehall documents seen, by the Telegraph, show that the NHS were told to refuse treatment to those in care homes and in geriatric hospital wards and, instead, put the patients on the ‘end of life pathway’.
DNR was secretly added to the medical records of thousands of elderly and disabled people to ‘save the NHS’
The Telegraph disclosed that care homes were asked by NHS managers and GPs to place “Do Not Resuscitate” orders on ALL residents at the height of the pandemic to keep hospital beds free.

The medical system is a total disgrace and needs to be Patch Adams’ed.

And I remember reading of a 40-year-old with muscular dystrophy finding a DNR had been placed on them – can’t find reference again though

I cannot believe our Prime Minister spent $1Bn on shares in a Californian Quantum computer company. Why? As the Americans say ‘there’s one born every minute’. Where’s the return? Where’s the business plan?
A billion would have rescued a hundred Australian manufacturers like Keppel Prince and Quenos with $10 million cash each. But our Productivity PM thinks it’s better to Punt on an American wild tech gamble. And the press say nothing. How is it possible that our PM can spend this money without anyone commenting or giving permission? What’s the point of Parliament? Or a budget?
