Cyberhackers Attack Free Speech Website

Our good friends at the International Free Press Society have fallen victim to a cowardly cyber-attack initiated from an unknown source. IFPS seeks to fight back against totalitarian "hate speech" laws that would stifle criticism of Islam and land brave champions of free speech like Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders--who I interviewed recently--in jail. The group is comprised of some of the leading counter-jihad journalists, strategists and thinkers in the world. It's no wonder, then, that the enemies of free speech--be they Islamists or Leftists-- would seek to silence it. Below is part of an e-mail I received this morning from Baron Bodissey of the Gates of Vienna blog describing the cyber-jihad against IFPS and requesting help. Yes, the Mohammed cartoons still elicit maniacal rage from Islamists--over three years after their intitial publication (soft Islamists in Turkey also continue to set them up as a straw man). Here's more, from Baron:

The International Free Press Society website was taken down last Thursday by a sustained cyber-attack, and the attack is ongoing. It was launched after information about the sale of Kurt Westergaard’s Mohammed cartoon was distributed widely in the MSM — including in the Middle East and South Asia.— including information on how one can purchase one of the cartoons — their efforts will have been in vain...

We’re trying to make the attackers’ strategy counterproductive by helping the same information go viral on the internet and other media. If thousands of websites post the same material

So what are you waiting for? Visit the links and support free speech. And let's hope IFPS gets back up and running at 100 percent capacity very soon.
