The Obama administration should not have attempted to misuse its instruments of state to stop criticism of its ruling party candidate.

WikiLeaks supporters are, apparently, the cause of a major DDoS attack that took down many web sites in the US.

10 to 1 he has been silenced and is under attitude adjustment to diffuse the auto dump process.

I think this is starting to sound more and more like that wordpress website that kept promising the Obama BC back in 2008.

Or, the info he is about to release is so series, that the Clinton's, et. al, are willing to take down the entire internets to stop it. But, that's crazy, I'm not into conspiracies or anything like that ...

We just gave away the keys to the interweb, but did Barry keep that “kill-Switch”?

If this was wikileaks, this could be a warning shot — it can escalate to a ‘fire sale’.

However, Obama would love to set up wikileaks. Make them the scapegoat when he disrupts communication.

NSA was hacked this last summer. That could even be how this is being done, from NSA’s database.

Unless Obama is really behind it.

Right — odds are its either wikileaks or Obama setting up wikileaks.

One theory is that his early tweet telling his “supporters” that they had made their point, he was referring ironically to the NSA which is behind the DDoS.

As a followup, he tweets that the Obama administration used the instruments of state (NSA) to shut down criticism.

It also sounds like an implied threat to the administration that they have invited him to release something they don’t want public.
