Has FactNet been hacked Access anonymously

[philiprosenthal]

Friends

Several of the main posters on Factnet, including Ulyankee, PhilipRosenthal, Speakword have been unable to access FactNet for the past week. Evidently, other people have been able to access FactNet as many messages have been posted. On a test, one of us was able to access FactNet using a third party computer. I am currently accessing FactNet using anonymous system that allows access without giving away your computer identity.

Thus the question comes. Who is blocking us from accessing FactNet and why?
If it was FactNet itself, they could easily block us by deleting our user names or at least send us an email to tell us so.
This makes me suspect a hacker.

Anyway, everyone, please bookmark the site:
http://anonymouse.org/

Then you can use this to access FactNet without giving away your computer identity and no one can block you.

Thank goodness you posted this Phillip. I can get access at the library and usually at work and post there, my best home computer has been blocked completely http://www.factnet.org/discus/clipart/sad.gif. When I type in factnet it redirects me to the yahoo search page with factnet posts. I have sent the moderator a message telling of our woes here. I feel a little better knowing that I am not the only one. -- thanks for posting. Maybe a bad guy volunteered to overlook the board and took out our more effective anti abuse posters?
Phew! I feel better even though I hesitate to post. I would just like to know whats going on. Are we using to much bandwidth and some program is kicking in or?? I don't know much about computers and EN is chock full of computer experts. Uggggggh!

Everyone. Please bookmark www.everynationinfo.com (http://www.everynationinfo.com)
Your access to FactNet will automatically be anonymous - i.e. they can't tell which computer you are using - and no one can block you anymore.

Unfortunately, you will get some popup adverts, to benefit from the anonymous service.

[speakword2004]

Someone has also blocked my ISP as well. I doubt it is someone in Factnet and if it is Factnet would surely notify us.

[ulyankee]

Philip, thanks so much for looking into this. It's not just individual computers either but seems to be ranges of IPs. As far as I know, our campus IPs are blocked. I could get in on my wireless but not via PC.

[maranatha1984]

I had problems at home last weekend. I think something is going on

[philiprosenthal]

Please could someone try contact FactNet administration on this and post here whatever their response is.

Nevertheless, it raises concerns for me about the need to not put all our eggs in one basket. FactNet is a great service, but if FactNet went down altogether or partially for any reason - a huge investment of work would be wasted. This could possibly come as a result of:
* Legal attack;
* Hacking attack;
* Financial problems;
* Internal technical problems;
* Decision of FactNet owner.

Therefore I think we need to look into various alternatives to protect ourselves against such eventualities. His People was a really morally strong movement, but we don't consider the risk of betrayal by some of our top leaders.

* We need to make use also of other forums such as http://everynation.proboards102.com/
So if there are problems with FactNet the discussion can carry on there also.
* Also the need to put important information on various other blogs and web sites and link these all together - so that they can't be hacked away.
* We need to support FactNet in whatever way we can. e.g. technical, financial, advocacy, legal support - as we have gifts to give.
* We need to keep backups of whatever information is on factnet - so that it can be reposted elsewhere if FactNet has problems.

Any more suggestions?

[ulyankee]

Philip, just wanted to let you know that I'm able to get in through the link you provided. Thanks so much. I'll write FACTNet and see about getting IPs unblocked, assuming that the block resides on their end and/or is something they can fix. I plan on putting a "pay to fix" request in to (1) support FACTNet's board and (2) expedite the request.

If anyone has IP addresses and/or ranges they want me to inquire about, pls write me offlist at ulyankee@yahoo.com with your FACTNet screen name and IP address and I'll see what I can do. Or you can write FACTNet yourself.

BTW, this doesn't seem to be limited to AOL. AOL posters have consistently had problems posting b/c of the nature of AOL IPs. I don't know if it's a dynamic or static IP issue either. I know my IP is static, but I've tested this from other IPs in the same range and was still blocked.

Thanks.

blessings,
ulyankee

Hip Hip Horay ! Hey thanks Philip, I was blocked months ago, now if we could only get Titus back on the board.

[bill_mack]

The Every Nation Hacker who did this will now be dealt with by God. The terrible swift sword of Truth marches onward.

[ulyankee]

I can get in directly now. I put a paid request in this morning. I haven't heard back from FACTNet but apparently something's been fixed.

[40days40years]

Yeah it looks like it's working. Was this an attack on all of factnet or was it an attack aimed at us specifically? Factnet has a lot of enemies who are far more lawless than EN. Scientology hates factnet along with others out there.

upcase, you seem to be the first one blocked and the last one to get back onlinehttp://www.factnet.org/discus/clipart/lol.gif. I don't know if Titus will come back with the new rules making you go through a moderator to delete if you don't delete within 30 minutes. Factnet got tired of the guts of threads being deleted plus it seems like on other boards cult leaders would launch attacks, get emotional responses from people and then delete their baiting post. Ofcourse this made the responders look unbalanced with their emotional response hanging out in cyberspace alone.

[upcase20]

Yes I know that at least in my case I have to use the link provided by Philip. I was banned from the board months ago (and I still am) on all of my computers unless I go through the link provided by Philip. I get a red message saying "that due to previous abuse your IP address has been banned". I don't recall anything abusive. I was just speaking the truth of what I had experienced in an effort to alert others. I didn't have time to go to the library. The lines there are too long. . . I think the ban was aimed at specific people.

[upcase20]

Horay I got through with a post !http://www.factnet.org/discus/clipart/lol.gif

[speakword2004]

Since Saturday or Friday my IP was blocked. Interesting as I had just posted up another forum board for discussion of EN called the Every Nation ReformStation. My aim is to faciltate communication more people.Obviously the site has my bias as it is designed from my viewpoint, but I am open to the ideas and viewpoints of other people. So let me know. Keeping the site up and running each week is going to take some time and I am also still feeling my way around. As to content and category types: they are not carved in stone and I am again open to suggestions.

I don't want to censor people and I am willing to allow viewpoints such as those of Bill Mack's on the forum. Also the viewpoints of offcials with EN are also welcome. You do not have to register with your real name either and you can use a Yahoo! or hotmail or whatever email address as with Factnet. The forum does have a few rules, as on any playground there must be rules to prevent playground bullies and keep a sense of security. It is not an issue of control. Just making it a bit more free for people who never post here.

If any one has a contribution feel free to post there or drop me a line. The site is not a replacement for Factnet. Factnet has done a wonderful job in facilitating things here and I hope they continue further. I will continue to support them. I am also looking for moderators to assist me.

The ReformationStation has the facility to edit your posts long after you have posted them etc. The are some other nice features there as well.

Isn't it interesting at how MCM/ENC hackers follow the false practices and doctrines of their evil leaders in refusing free speech. Just like what they call "discipleship/shepherding" results in stopping anyone from "speaking out in rebellion to [non-existent]apostolic authority" (really Rosicrucian/Freemasonic heresy) they can't stand up to the truth!!

These people are cowards just like Mormon Joseph Smith and Charles Taize Russell, founder of the Jehovah's Witnesses -- both Freemasons!

Maranatha/Morning Star Intl/Every Nations and all the over 145 Front Organizations are held tegether with untempered morter. Their house of cards will never stand, no matter how these heretics try to hold it together. That they would resort to hacking people's IP addresses is simply another example proving they are an evil cult. Bruce and Johnnye Lynn Harpel are evil cult leaders and their counterparts in Nashville and North Carolina i.e. Rice Broocks, Ron Lewis, Brett Fuller and all the rest show no changes:
**************************************
Ps 55:19 God shall hear, and **afflict them**, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have **no changes**, therefore they fear not God.

Ps 55:21 The words of his [Bruce Harpel, Rick Joyner, Paul Cain, Kenneth Copeland, Paul Crouch, Benny Hinn, Jill Austin, Cindy Jacobs, C. Peter Wagner] mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
*****************************************
These people think they are slick and have a corner on "Present Truth" but in reality they are simply infectors of a heretical virus. Like Typhoid Mary in the 19th century, these people need to be quarrantined so they won't kill any more students.

[strongapostle]

Wow, Thanks Phil, as most know, my first screen name was strongapostolic and that was blocked, so I change over to strongapostle awhile back, then I couldn't post as you may have noticed I havent posted anything for atleast a week and a half. But now using the link Phil sent out *smile*

[j2theperson]

My access has been spotty. Sometimes during the course of the day I can access and sometimes I can't. During the times that I haven't been able to access I have tried using Philip's link, but that hasn't worked for me. It times out (and I have a highspeed connection, so I don't know why it would do that).

Beyond that, why on earth would anyone want to block me? I don't post here very often, and when I do the things I say are not particularly threatening to EN--no foundation shattering revelations or anything.

[speakword2004]

I am g3ettiing the same timeouts on anonymouse as well.

[speakword2004]

I am using a PDA to get in as all my other routes in have been frustrated.

[bill_mack]

My access has been spotty. I tried experimenting with trying to get access after a reboot. That worked a couple of times, so I figured there might be something loaded after I first access FactNet and then I get "tagged" to prevent further access?

Then, after not getting FactNet access a 2nd time, I tried scanning for spybots using Spybot and Adaware. I came up with 1 spyware bug, deleted it, and then I got access again.

As of yesterday, its been spotty. Funny, it seems this parallels my record of getting MCM documents all these years. Sometimes you get access, sometimes you have to wait and try yet another route, but inevitably, with God's help, you get what you were after despite the smoke screens, the subterfuge, the lies and sidetracks.

We have victory in Christ Jesus over Maranatha, Morning Star Int'l and Every Nation flase leaders. They and all their ardent stupified followers are the losers here. Blocking my access only proves once again that they are a cult who will stop at nothing toward their ungodly quest for TOTAL DOMINION. Too bad for them on JUDGMENT DAY for unless they repent, the Lord will say,

"Depart from Me you workers of lawlessness (Nashville, LA and Franklin case), I never knew you!"

[40days40years]

Well a moderator sent me an email in response to my question if the problems we have had are across all of factnet or just and Every Nation board "problem"? He did not know of Factnet being hacked. He did say they have been having some server problems. Whatever the problem was, certain ISP's used by people critical of EN were definantly blocked.

[upcase20]

At least you recieved a response. I never did find out why I was being blocked after many tries nor did they e-mail me. What ever happened to The First Amendment and Freedom of Speech here ?

[philiprosenthal]

An EveryNation apologist on FactNet has also been blocked, so seems more likely a computer problem or a careless hacker.

[philiprosenthal]

I am experiencing intermittent access. I find that if you just keep trying the web link - eventually you get through. This makes me wonder if maybe FactNet is experiencing an upsurge in traffic and hasn't got the bandwidth to handle it.

[philiprosenthal]

FactNet Admin told me they are having server problems and are in the process of sorting them out.
