 Here's the content of the message we received. It is worth pointing out that this post has been sitting, unloved and unread, since July of 2014. If your curiosity is now aroused, it is possible to visit the Wayback Machine with the URL and read the post unedited. The note mentions that it was the Malware and Virus policy that was violated, so it is possible that one of the links in the post was compromised and that triggered the removal.

  1. And we wonder how 2000 mules was a non-event.

    The POWER of Mass Media especially "Social Media".

    Orville's 1984 is closer than we think.

    This is why I got away from Blogger and the Wordpress hosting both.

  4. Chuck,

    Yes, just got it today. As it says, it's the Malware and Virus policy that was tripped, so it may be a genuine issue that caused the removal.

  5. All the links in the wayback version of the post go to other wayback pages. I just checked all the wayback links and all of them work. Then I checked the original links and most of them work. The ones to Discover Magazine and the PDF are dead. The wayback link to http://ww2.ivethirtyeight.com/ gives you a placeholder page. The actual link gets you a red security warning from Google.

  10. I guess there is no statute of limitations on thought crimes and bad think.

    Just remember:
    WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR WITH EURASIA!
