I just went to surf on a web site called itshappening.com, which I had picked up by link to another terrorist watch site. I had been on the itshappening.com site earlier in the day and this latest attempt I made the screen read "This page blocked for public safety and homeland security."

Who could/would block this? Is it the government? Just wondering as I know so little about how web sites are operated.

Homeland Security cannot block a site.

If you are trying to get there at work, they might be using filters that prevent you from going to such sites.

What was this site about? Why do you think someone would block it?

Their cached version of their home page is available through search engines. FWIW, itshappening.com is hosting the blocked image file:

I even saw a picture of a grimacing John Ashcroft underneath the text!

From http://www.phatnav.com/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=Alneda.com

Alneda.com

Alneda.com (Al Neda means "The call" in Arabic) was a website based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia used by Al Qaida to spread its message across the internet.

It first appeared shortly after the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks It had encrypted information to direct members to more secure websites, featured news on Al Qaida, published Fatwas and books, and had media, including videos of Osama bin Laden.

The internet domain name was taken over by an United States-based pornography site operator named Jon David Messner, who reregistered the domain in his name when the original registration lapsed. It is now a link to ItsHappening.com (http://itshappening.com/), a website about current events.

Messner used the Arabic translation service at ajeeb.com to read messages left on the site. For five days, people thought that it was still the real Al Qaida site. After a post on an Islamic message board at 4:30 a.m. on July 20 warned people not to go, the site was taken down.

The site briefly re-appeared on www.news4arab.org, but it was taken down again. The website since had many other sightings as Al-Qaida kept trying to put it up. The site had been inserted inside of other websites several times, probably with the help of internet utilities.

Gulp! So basically is itshappening.com being used by terrorists to send messages, or was?

I'm computer illiterate remember.

After more digging, I advise to steer clear. My previous post may be too accurate. See:

Not blocked, just admin playing around with the index.php file.

Just use http://www.itshappening.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=-1&f=11
instead. Then, when you're in, use the pulldown on the bottom right to go to different forums.

Good luck :)
