Conservatives Falsely Told They Are “Banned” From Their Favorite Websites
Freedom Outpost ^ | 1-28-19 | Dean Garrison

Posted on 01/28/2019 10:53:48 AM PST by Mozilla

After the 4th report of this in the last 2-3 weeks, I thought I had better get the word out.

I can personally verify that I have been receiving messages like the one you are about to read for roughly 2 years, but they seem to be coming more and more frequently now. Someone is ramping up the censorship and using a method you don’t often hear or read about.

I received this message in my email on Sunday:

hi dean, i go to dcclothesline everyday to check the news however this morning when i tried i got a message saying You Have Been Banned! im not a member, i dont comment, *and never have to either one, im not even a subscriber* you guys dont even have my email address until now! i thought you might like to know this information so you can combat it. yours is not the only site thats trying to do this. i had to go to a search engine and find your site and then go to it from the browser *not google owned* before i could access it. then i went over to dcdirtylaundry to find this contact information because i couldnt find it at dcclothesline. i dont know whats going on with that but please for the rest of your reader base, post an article about whats happening if you dont fix it. thanks (name withheld)

This problem is not limited to DC Clothesline because at least one of the messages I received, within the last month, was regarding my other website (www.dcdirtylaundry.com).

It is important to note that my two websites are hosted with different web service providers.

The sites have different advertisers so I doubt it is a virus attack that can be pinned to a single advertiser.

UPDATE 1-28-19 8:15AM I’ve started to receive messages from others and I have decided that I will update as I can.

Hi, Dean. I got a “you have been banned from this site” notice when I tried to get on your website last week. I think I even sent you a tweet about it. I live in CO Springs, CO.

I hope you are able to track down the source. I enjoy receiving your email alerts very much.

Dear Mr. Garrison:

Approximately 2-3 times in the past week I’ve experienced the “banned” block to your site (it’s one I visit daily). FWIW, I use the Safari browser with Duck-Duck-Go as its default search engine. I also have Ghostery and Adblocker installed.

Yours is the only site (so far) in which I’ve encountered this.

P.S. I am an occasional contributor on Trevor Loudon’s site; you would enjoy my work (see, e.g., “Twelve Questions for Fauxcahontas” or “Is Progressivism Satanic?”). Here’s a direct link: https://www.trevorloudon.com/?s=wigand&x=0&y=0

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Dean – just viewed re ‘banning’ mssg & thought u may want to know about this as well – when I rcv DC Dirty laundry there is an orange boxed warning “this domain has failed it’s authentication – it may be ‘spoofed’ or improperly forwarded”

Haven’t seen anything other than this.

Thanks for your work.

I received one of these, about a week ago, when I tried to go to one of your sites by clicking on an email to my Hotmail account. There was another email, from you, and I was able to access your website through that message. It appeared much like a standard error message. That’s the only such notice that I have received. I know next to nothing about computers but I would say the problem (malware) lies in the email you sent to me, not on my computer or on another website, such as Facebook, although other people could be affected through Reichfuhrer SS Zuckie’s website.

These 4 messages have come within a few hours of originally publishing the story. More may come and if it is a substantial number I will update again at a later time.

I’m confused. Dean Garrison wrote an article for freedom outpost claiming he can’t get the the two sites that a now banned freeper with the same name used to pimp?

Also, it looks like one of the domains has a ‘Dean Garrison’ listed as a tech contact. https://whois.domaintools.com/dcclothesline.com

Am I misunderstanding something?

I see, he is getting letters about it from others. Still something odd about it.

One big company bought every major newspaper in the state of MI, then they banned everyone that wasn’t a rabid barking moonbat from commenting.

I don't understand this sentence.

Most likely people have malware installed on their computers that is redirecting their browsers to this message when they try to go to certain websites.

SATAN NEVER SLEEPS and neither do the corrupt Deep Staters and their co-conspirators in the “Ruling Elite”.

Is "clamining" like "havening"?

When you purchase a retail computer do three things right away, before using it:

1. wipe out factory installed OS (whatever it is).

2. Install fresh Win 7 (especially if win 10 was on it before)

3. Install local email client from disk.

You may not need Anti Virus at all, since there are no malware magnets. Have Malwarebytes installed just in case.

No Script, Ghostery and ABP a must have.

Happy computing !

If you do that, stay off the web.

Windows 7 is not secure. That’s why we don’t allow it on our network.

If using it with out of the box, yes.

Anything bought retail is not safe.

These people will try anything — literally, anything — to keep dissenting opinions form being heard.

Instead of Windows use Ubuntu Linux. It’s free, as easy to install as Windows, faster, safer. It will run even on older slower machines.

It has happened to me three times. First time was about two+ months ago.

Never heard of this happening - maybe he’s pimping to get hits with a story.
