For the last several days turcopolier.com has been suffering a sustained hack attack. This seems to be commercial attack but it could be a government as well. I do not wish to discuss countermeasures that are being taken. pl
RSS- ISW Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment for 3 Dec – TTG

Would be interesting to find out the who and the why.
I noticed this at 2AM EDT this morning.
So much about DC comics and cosplaying, whatever that is.
What is the “commercial” nature of this attack?
So far as I could tell, it was adenial of function attack, effectively blocking access to your content by all that garbage mentioned above.
I should mention what I observed.
A large number (dozens) of posts by “guest authors” waxing on at great length about the subjects mentioned above.
So many, each so long, taking interminable time before one could scroll down to your content (which seemed to be intact).
I could only shortcut the process by using the monthly archive feature.
But even then it took a while.

What do you want, an apology?
Of course not. Just documenting what happened; at least what I observed.
Not intended as criticism of you or your website.
I thought I musta accidentally ingested some LSD with my coffee this morning; the crap just keep flowing off the webpage. Seemed like it was machine translated ?Chinese?. Glad you’re back up!
Interesting that it was right after your sheikh jarrah story

This has been going on for several days.
I don’t write, I don’t speak English. I use machine translation. Accepted from a small country in Europe. I did not notice anything abnormal when visiting the site. I do it daily.
The first hacked post I saw included a link to the website of of Saeed Mohammad of the IRGC. This could of course be a red herring or even a deliberate attempt to leave Iranian ‘fingerprints’. In any event I wish your IT team (TTG?) luck in ejecting the interlopers. Thankfully no existing posts seem to have been touched/deleted.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s noticed that the hack seems to have coincided with your series of posts about the AZ audit.
That was my thought too – the AZ election fraud investigation posts might have been the trigger. A pattern to watch for.
Is “someone” tracking Larry Johnson? He provided very blunt posts earlier about election fraud. Then wasn’t there a blank thread with his headline just recently? Though nothing was found or is my mind playing tricks on me. I always look forward to his insights on these deep state topics.
Colonel,
I’d bet this is Israeli hasbara. You are the most respected expert of all things ME, and you are telling the true.
The hacked posts were not machine translated, most likely auto-generated by software.
My thoughts exactly. Who else would have both the means and the motive to go after Col. Lang like that? The Zionists!
