The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is reportedly investigating. The attack raised fears that this could be a trial run for an attempt at a major disruption of the U.S. presidential election.
While many of the websites affected by the first attack, which hit the East Coast, are back up, sites hosted on the West Coast, including Twitter and Recode, have been hit, and were unavailable for many as of 11 a.m. Friday. As of 11 a.m., Dyn’s online update about its response to the attacks said the company was continuing to “investigate and mitigate.”
The outages appear to have resulted from a “distributed denial of services” attack on web hosting firm Dyn. Firms such as Dyn “act as the internet’s phone book and facilitate your request to go to a certain webpage and make sure you are taken to the right place. If the (domain name server) provider that handles requests for Twitter is down, well, good luck getting to Twitter,” explains Gizmodo.

Had 0bama and his advisors ever served in the military they would have learned the First Rule of Orders.
The First Rule of Orders states: Never, ever, give an order you don't KNOW will be obeyed.
I doubt that more than a third would side with the leftists and that would be the high point of their support. Even if every single member of the US Armed Forces sided with the leftist coup, they would be overwhelmed by the mass of armed veterans with training and means to kill them in sufficient numbers to render the coup moot and its leaders dead or awaiting execution for Treason.

West of Seattle on the Olympic Peninsula.
No problem here.
From article I mentioned in my post 85:
“Dyn, based in Manchester, N.H., said it had fended off the assault by 9:30 a.m. But by 11:52 a.m., Dyn said it was again under attack. After fending off the second wave of attacks, Dyn said at 5 p.m. that it was again facing a flood of traffic.”
Thanks.

I’m on the west coast and I think there may be a problem with facebook, it loaded quickly and there were no annoying friend requests.
your caps lock is on.
I think somebody hacked into CNN, there was a comment that made sense at 4:57 p.m. PDT, I have informed the FCC as this seems very unusual.
Yawn...government false flag operation, anyone? Wag the illary?
Nobody knows what that’s from? :)
Ballot security is better same-day. I don't want my ballot sitting around for fourteen nights in some "sealed" container with nobody watching it.
Only an idiot or a false flag operation would attack Netflix on a Friday night.
Friends won and people influenced: not so much.
I have been using OpenDNS for several years ever since my ISP “upgraded” their software and I could reach sites with a MAC that a PC wouldn't reach and visa-versa. I got tired of arguing with the ESL tech support telling me I had a virus/I had to reload all my system software/ I had to buy a new computer. Went to open DNS never looked back. Their basic service is free also.
I don’t know. Could be wiki leaks knew someone was trying to make a point. Apparently earlier O’Keefe’s Twitter account was to be shut down for violating some rule, the message he got said he was suspended from tweeting for 11 hours. Or not. I didn’t ask wiki leaks what they meant by it. Their words, not mine.
