Can't you Ghost your Internet connection somehow to get there. I am not sure what the best way to do that is though.

Nope, this is a rift in the fundamental peering fabric of the Internet -- there is nothing you can do to fix it. In a sense, from the perspective of many parts of the network it would appear as though the Internet has been ripped into two separate networks. Some network operators with diverse homing points that can see both networks may be able to do some heavy-handed routing restructuring to patch it back together for their own customers, but that takes time and has a lot of nasty side-effects. But for many network operators this will not be an option and they are at the mercy of their peers.
