Although I am a blogger, I am not a computer geek. Were it not for the efforts of my husband and one of my daughters, I would not be a blogger. This is a wordpress blog that works pretty much like Microsoft Windows<\/a>, so even a non-geek can easily use it. Please understand as I report the next item, that I have limited experience in the technical details, but I am posting the story because I think it is important.<\/p>\n

On April 15th, The Gateway Pundit<\/a> posted a story titled, “Soros Is Targeting District Attorney<\/a> Races to Create Havoc Against Conservatives.” This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone–particularly anyone who has seen the video “Rocky Mountain Heist<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Soros Consultant\u2019s PAC Could Influence DA Races in Oregon<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A longtime consultant to liberal billionaire George Soros<\/a> is listed on recently filed documents with the state of Oregon related to the formation of a political action committee that appears to be an avenue for Soros to influence yet another district attorney\u2019s race, state records show.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The paperwork was filed with Oregon\u2019s secretary of state\u2019s office in early April to launch the Oregon Law & Justice PAC, which intends to \u201csupport candidates advocating for justice.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whitney Tymas, an attorney who acts as the treasurer of a number of Soros PACs, is listed as the director, correspondence recipient, and alternate transaction filer for the committee. The address listed for Tymas is the same address as Perkins Coie, a Washington, D.C.<\/a>-based law firm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No activity has been reported from the PAC other than its formation. However, Tymas previously expressed interest in criminal defense attorney Max Wall<\/a>, who is running for district attorney in Washington County, the second largest county in the state.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Again, this is hardly news, but posting the story did result in consequences.<\/p>\n

Yesterday The Gateway Pundit<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

The Gateway Pundit has been under constant DDoS attack<\/a> for the past two days from an unknown source originating in California<\/a>, DC, and Seattle. A DDoS (short for distributed denial of service) attack is a cyber attack that floods a website with so much fake traffic that the server that the infrastructure that hosts the website is unable to function, shutting the site down and providing unreliable service. It\u2019s a very common tool used by malicious leftists, the Drudge Report was targeted with a similar attack last year<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The attacks against Gateway Pundit have been ongoing since April 15th, when Jim Hoft published a widely-shared article about George Soros\u00a0targeting district attorney races throughout the United States<\/a>. Nearly immediately, we were hit with over 140,000 hacking attempts along with continuing DDoS attacks that have persisted through today.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately I doubt that the attacks on the Drudge Report and the Gateway Pundit are isolated events–I suspect there is a pattern here. Free speech is a right that all of us have to treasure and protect. There are people in our country who want to take that right away.<\/p>\n
