I predicted Trump’s eventual war with the Fed over a year ago, and I have written on the dangers if such a war recently, so I will not go into as much detail on this event. I will say that like the immigrant caravan, this is another issue in which conservatives could be tricked into reacting without thinking of the long game. In my article ‘The Economic End Game Explained‘, I outline the strategy being used by globalists to diminish the U.S. economy as a means to open the door to mass support for a global monetary system controlled by...

You can measure the health/the freedom of any given society by the number of burkas on the street. The speed of the deterioration of freedom of quality of life in European countries that opened their borders to the massive Muslim migration is breathtaking. This will not end well. Germany before al hijah (immigration jihad) Videos thanks to Iexion (at source) Another development in the wake of the Muslim migration. Police now wear chain mail to protect against Muslim ax attacks: My comment - All that's missing is the Crusader Cross.

Ad-blockers may seem like an answer to an internet user’s prayers. No annoying pop-ups, no promos before videos and no concerns about accidentally clicking on a virus. But for ad-driven websites, they’re a revenue leech that needs to be pried off. This is becoming one of the internet's biggest debates. More countries are cracking down on ad-blockers—the EU’s European Commission even proposed a rule this week that would allow media companies to ban users who use ad-blockers. The debate is no longer on the fringes with tech’s biggest names, including Facebook, weighing in. “Ads support our mission of giving people...

I have recently begun getting popups on my Apple IPad. Some lock up my screen. When I visit Drudge I occasionally will get one that totally freezes my screen.

Full title: Breitbart News was the biggest publisher of political content for the months of May and June, with a lead of nearly 2 million more interactions than the second place Huffington Post. The site came out on top in research conducted by NewsWhip. Besting the competition on a list that also includes CNN, The Hill, and The Guardian, Breitbart News had a total combined 9,098,o13 Twitter and Facebook interactions, of which 89% came from Facebook and 11% from Twitter.

I have downloaded Ccleaner, and Sophos Virus Remover, and some registry cleaner, but I still have problems with Pop-up, and slow.. HELP PLEASE!

Help! Today I started getting pop-ups while Posting Comments on Free Republic. I am also getting some of the words and terms in my comment turned into hyperlinks. This is in Firefox 18.0.1 Popup Blocker is "On" in Firefox Options. Any ideas? Thanks!

Just as the healthcare drama in the capitol reaches a grand finale, congressional officials are warning employees to avoid the DRUDGE REPORT! The Senate's Committee on Environment and Public Works issued an urgent email late Monday claiming the DRUDGE REPORT is 'responsible for the many viruses popping up throughout the Senate.' The committee ordered hill staff: 'Try to avoid' the DRUDGE REPORT 'for now'. On Monday DRUDGE served over 29 million pages with NOT ONE email complaint received about 'pop ups', or the site serving 'viruses'. The site was seen 149,967 times since March 1st from users at senate.gov and...

Note: The following text is a quote: Pop-Up Security Warnings Pose Threats The FBI warned consumers today about an ongoing threat involving pop-up security messages that appear while they are on the Internet. The messages may contain a virus that could harm your computer, cause costly repairs or, even worse, lead to identity theft. The messages contain scareware, fake or rogue anti-virus software that looks authentic. The message may display what appears to be a real-time, anti-virus scan of your hard drive. The scareware will show a list of reputable software icons; however, you can’t click a link to go...

Having ALOT of problems with pop ups. For example, I KNOW that freerepublic does not have pop ups, yet when I travel from FR page to FR page, often I get assaulted with a pop up, sometimes two or three at a time. So you can imagine trhe trouble I get with websites that do allow pop ups on their sites.

Unwanted software slithered into Patti McMann's home computer over the Internet and unleashed an annoying barrage of pop-up ads that sometimes flashed on her screen faster than she could close them. Annoying, for sure. But the last straw came a year ago when the pop-ups began plugging such household names as J.C. Penney Co. and Capital One Financial Corp., companies McMann expected to know better. Didn't they realize that trying to reach people through spyware and its ad-delivering subset, called adware, would only alienate them? "It irritated the heck out of me," said McMann, a 45-year-old former corporate executive from...

The end of free Internet content will come when Web browsers start blocking online advertisements by default, a DoubleClick executive has warned. Bennie Smith, the online advertising network's privacy chief, told ZDNet Australia the popularity of tools like Adblock -- an extension to the Mozilla Firefox browser -- which makes blocking online ads simple was tied to "a negative vibe against advertising in general". However, only the online arena is able to easily produce and widely distribute such tools, he added. He said if a similar tool could be produced for newspapers, it would not be accepted by consumers. "You'd...

Hello. I mostly lurk, and I visit infrequently unless elections are heating up. I apologize if my post is inappropriate, I know vanity posts are discouraged. If I'm out of line, please report my thread, delete it, smack me down as appropriate. I work on computers for a living, and have been really disgusted with the number and frequency of annoying pop up ads on Drudge. They get past IE's integrated blocker. They get past the Google toolbar. I don't want to install another browser or take heroic measures to browse in peace. If Mr. Drudge asked me to support...

Drudge is certainly becomming the clutter king of the net. To avoid being inudated by spyware and popups I'm not only running IE's native popup stopper under XP but I'm also forced to use Panicware's commercial version.Drudge is also one of the few sites that can defeat Firefox's Adblock extension. It may take 4 tries to eliminate his ever changing URL for his top banner during a single session and then the URLs are different the next day.If it gets worse, color Mat gone on the "Links' menu.

Much to the chagrin of many of its users, TiVo has begun testing out a new form of advertising on its subscription digital video recorder service. The ads were designed to appear on the screen while a user is fast-forwarding through commercials, but some TiVo customers say ads are popping up during TV shows.

Anyone else getting spammed by "SmileyCentral" on Drudge?

One of the most valuable sites in Pennsylvania has nothing to do with real estate: The Pennsylvania Lottery could earn as much as $585,000 a year by renting a few square inches on its Web site, some advertising experts estimate. And that's just one ad. The state has hundreds of Web pages. Allegheny County could earn as much as $130,000 a year, and Pittsburgh could pull in up to $95,000 annually, by selling Internet advertisements, according to those same estimates. "I'm definitely open-minded to it," county Chief Executive Dan Onorato said. "If there is any way to generate money that...

Here is a simple fix to those nasty popus. Just do a google scan on "HOSTS", without the quotes. You will find how it controls your browsing. I did this and it makes my life much easier.

My computer is set to advise me if a site I am going to is trying to download something onto my computer and gives me the option to download or cancel. I just went to Drudge's site and got a warning about an attempted download. Drudge has been dumping at 3 to 7 spyware programs on my computer each time I visit - I've checked by clearing all spyware and then going to his site and checking again. That's bad enough. But, now to have direct downloads from from Drudge, that is not alright. Likely it is from the same...
