OLDEST WHITE SUPREMACIST SITE SHUT DOWN… https://t.co/0OjIxgFtwK
— DRUDGE REPORT (@DRUDGE_REPORT) August 28, 2017
Stormfront is the oldest pro-white site on the internet, founded as a Usenet group by white activist Don Black in 1990. It is the only pro-white website to have a comic book character named after it.
It was shut down this week, having its domain stolen by the registrar in a situation similar to what happened to dailystormer.com.
It is clear that the Stormfront shutdown was meant to set a precedent for shutting down sites and then just making them disappear into a black hole.
After the site disappeared, there was no comment by the media. For days.
We were the first to report on it on the 25th, the day it happened.
Then the next day, a local Alabama paper did a report, apparently having not been informed about the news blackout (some local papers are probably not a part of the mainstream media backchannels which coordinate news blackouts and other narrative issues).
The day after that, having seen the Alabama report, The Washington Times reported on it.
Now, the mainstream media has finally decided to cover it.
Gizmodo appears to have been the first after WT, publishing the story this morning under the bizarre headline “Stormfront, the Internet’s Oldest Neo-Nazi Site, Follows the Daily Stormer Down to Hell.”
Gizmodo just outright praises what they refer to as a “massive crackdown” on free speech:
Ideally, we could close this chapter of internet-enabled hatred for good, but in all likeliness Stormfront will do what the Daily Stormer has been doing for weeks now: hopping between domains, providers, and hosts; ping ponging between the dark net and the clear web. For now, however, Stormfront’s jettison serves as a strong symbolic victory.
Although the media is extremely incompetent, given that no one with any drive wants to work for it because it is so restrictively dishonest, this failure to report was not a case of incompetence.
The plan was to delete it in silence. To have it just disappear.
But the Alabama paper ruined that, so now they’re forced to report on it.
Jews Cite the DailyStormer.Org
The team of lawyers that made the demand on Stormfront’s registrar cited the DailyStormer.org (a site which does not exist) as the precedent for stealing the domain.
They got Stormfront.org and DailyStormer.com confused. Not a sign of competence in a profession that is almost entirely based on attention to detail.
The claim by the “Lawyer’s Committee for Civil Rights” is that Stormfront and Daily Stormer helped organize the “violent and fatal” Charlottesville rally.
I do not think Stormfront had anything at all to do with the rally, and I certainly did not. We only promoted it. I never once spoke to any of the organizers. Not that it even matters. I’m just pointing to the fact of incompetence in order to demonstrate that the deal now is that any random group of Jews can just demand your domain be stolen and tech companies will now do it. Then the media will organize to not discuss it.
This is an entirely new form of censorship, just as so many new forms of censorship have popped up over the last couple of weeks.
Domain registrars used to be completely neutral, and only revoke domains when ordered to do so by a court. The same was true of Cloudflare.
The same was extremely true of Cisco Umbrella, which is now telling its subsidiary openDNS to refuse to resolve our DNS, which has led to 2% of internet users being unable to access this site that you are now reading.
This is almost certainly illegal, as it violates the 2015 FCC ruling on Net Neutrality. They are just doing it anyway.
For those who don’t know, Net Neutrality is the concept that tech companies shouldn’t be able to choose which traffic they serve, and should not be able to give priority to certain websites, companies or types of traffic.
In the United States, net neutrality has been an issue of contention among network users and access providers since the 1990s. In 2015 the FCC classified broadband as a Title II communication service with providers being “common carriers”, not “information providers”.
…
On January 16, 2015, Republicans presented legislation, in the form of a U. S. Congress HR discussion draft bill, that made concessions to net neutrality but prohibited the FCC from accomplishing that goal, or from enacting any further regulation affecting ISPs. Two weeks later, on January 31, AP News reported the FCC would present the notion of applying (“with some caveats”) common carrier status to the internet in a vote expected on February 26, 2015. Adoption of this notion would reclassify internet service from one of information to one of telecommunications and ensure net neutrality, according to FCC chairman Tom Wheeler. On the day before the FCC vote, the FCC was expected to vote to regulate the Internet in this manner, as a public good, and on February 26, 2015 the FCC voted to apply common carrier of the Communications Act of 1934 and Section 706 of the Telecommunications act of 1996 to the internet.
This was supported by tech companies when it happened in 2015 as part of a cause célèbre.
Although this latest attack by Cisco is the only one which appears to explicitly violate the current legal parameters for the internet, it is clear that more than just ISPs that need to be regulated by the government.
The whole tech industry needs to be regulated by the government, primarily Google and Facebook, but also PayPal and Twitter. All four of these companies are clearly “natural monopolies.” Unlike certain types of monopolies, it would not be successful or good for the public to break them up under antitrust legislation, so the only remaining option is to put them under full government regulation.
Clearly, such regulation would require companies to uphold Constitutional protections – of which, I am primarily concerned about free speech.
Future of Stormfront
Stormfront is not up at all right now, and there is no immediate plan to get it up on another domain, or on the Darknet AKA the Pedoweb (where the Daily Stormer went for some time during the shuttening).
Site founder Don Black did not reply to my emails, I believe because the address I had for him was hosted on the same domain that was taken, but now that the media is covering this story, he was able to give a statement to the Associated Press on what is happening.
AP:
The founder of the internet’s oldest white supremacist site said he was trying to get back online Monday after a company revoked its domain name following complaints that it promotes hatred and is linked to dozens of murders.
Don Black, a former Ku Klux Klan leader who has operated stormfront.org since 1995, said he didn’t receive any warning before Network Solutions blocked the use of the stormfront.org name on Friday.
…
“I’m talking to my lawyers, and that’s about all I can do right now,” Black, of West Palm Beach, Florida, said in a telephone interview. “I can switch to another domain, but it might wind up the same way.”
Don Black is elderly, and that no doubt played a role in the decision to black hole his site first after the Daily Stormer. They expect him to be too tired to fight back, so they can then just crush the entire community.
Another reason they targeted SF is that it is a rather insular community. Whereas I was able to go on TRS when Stormer went down, and other members of this site knew to go there and check what was up, members of Stormfront do not have an allied community to rally around them
It is extremely important that we keep tight bonds in the pro-white movement going forward, and help each other out. Because the agenda is clearly to just start throwing sites into a black hole and not even mentioning it in the media.
Daily Stormer Announces Plans to Build Stormfront Refugee Center
Assuming that our current domain stays online, I am planning to open a refugee center on our bbs for Stormfront posters.
Right now – as I’m sure many of you are already aware – the bbs is not able to send email, so no one can sign-up or recover their password. That is because one of the companies that banned us was our systems email provider. If this domain stays, we will get new email services, and people will be able to join (or recover their forgotten passwords), and I will create a subforum for Stormfront people who have nowhere to post, so they can meet-up and find one another, and communicate through private messages.
I will make an announcement letting everyone know when the email comes back, at which time I will also build the refugee center.
I will leave it open until SF comes back online. If SF doesn’t come back online, I will leave it open indefinitely.
We will do this for anyone else who gets shut down as well. We are the only site with an over 9000 power level hacker on our team, so it is certain that we are going to stay online in some form forever. I can promise you that. And if we lose all domains and are forced to forever reside on the Darknet AKA the Pedoweb, we will figure out a way to make the forum work on there.
