It has the hallmarks of a government attack.<br><br>"These guys have suits not pimples," said Coots.<br><br>The websites do occasionally come under attack from amateurs but we don't feel the need to give them attention by talking about it. However, this attack is off the scale and is obviously a well coordinated effort to prevent millions more people learning the truth about the London bombings.<br><br>The team are currently trying to locate the source of the attack while the website is up and down.<br><br>It is no coincidence that this attack comes as traffic to Prison Planet.com and Infowars.com is at an all time high in the wake of the London bombings.

<!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://p216.ezboard.com/frigorousintuitionfrm10.showMessage?topicID=1347.topic" target="top">This thread</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> from earlier today probably has the explanation for the access problems. Now I don't doubt that there may be those who might try to shut down or censor Alex Jones's sites, but I'm also getting a gut feeling that Jones is stirring up our paranoia as proof of his theories, without regard for facts. Maybe that's just my bias showing since I find the guy's style and delivery difficult to take. I'm not a fan of Michael Ruppert's delivery style either, actually, but for some reason I find him much more believable and trustworthy. <br> <p></p><i></i>
