Cyber Attack? Spiritual Warfare?

Interesting. How can I not be suspicious about all of this when almost immediately after publicly stating that I was turning away from what I'm starting to believe is the sin of studying "Synchro-Pop" (and just as I was also about to publish several articles on what I believe to be the conclusive and definitive statements on the Rapture debate) I begin receiving message after message from concerned readers asking me what's wrong with the website?

Now, I know that all over the news today there is talk of a cyber attack on websites in South Korea and the United States that has continued since July 4th. In fact, the latest reports say that the White House, Pentagon, NYSE, NSA, Department of Homeland Security, and even The Washington Post were hit, but come on! I have a tough time believing that Look Up Fellowship was one of the few targeted by any axis of evil regime let alone a terrorist group, right?

That leaves me with only one conclusion since there are no coincidences in this life -- this is a definite case of spiritual warfare now that I've made a conscious decision to turn my back on Satan's Synchro-Pop rabbit holes.

Deepening the mystery is the fact that I can access and bring up the site without any problems whatsoever. However, others are not so lucky.

Here's a small sampling of some of the many messages I've received:

"Is the site down? I can't seem to bring up more than the bar on the left of the page..."

"I have been having problems opening your site for the past 2 days. Your site will come up, but your daily commentary area is blank. Have you had other complaints regarding this problem? I love your site and read it daily. I am addicted--ha. I haven't had any problems opening other sites, so I think it is possibly a problem only with your site. I hope to get back on soon. I miss all of the information you post."

"I was wondering if you knew why I was not being able to view the articles on your website yesterday and today so far? Would it be the traffic or my computer do you think?Weird that I can't view anything lately."

"Hi Jeff, I'm a fan of your page and every morning I read your postings. since last night I'm having trouble viewing them, Load the page in blank.....I was wondering it is just me or you are having trouble with the site. I was just wondering."


I'm sure my post on "Iron Mountain" caught some attention too.

So, 11 months without a similar issue and no all of a sudden people are experiencing problems left and right. Yep. Makes perfect sense to me.

Interesting timing, huh?

I like the synchro pop stuff because I have seen this stuff for years and shake my head in amazement to it. Whatever direction you choose, I will still be reading.

I do want to comment. I rented Knowing last night. I noticed that the alien ships looked like jellyfish--similar to Nero's in Star Trek.

I told my husband I knew all about the movie and unknown to me, he did not. He stopped watching and was really disturbed by it. He asked me if that was what I believed in. He said it was evil and would never have watched it.

I was upset that he thought I had turned to the dark side and felt awful for exposing him to it. I wanted to watch to see the propaganda in it but never meant to traumatize anyone.

Please warn your loved ones if they watch what to expect. It was very disturbing and very persuasive and I knew what to expect. Scary times we live in.

Your site has so much interactive and links that it is possible that the browsers are not working right...I could not access your site for months until I upgraded which I didn't want to do but have had no trouble since with the road runner lite internet connection...dial up service may have something to do with issues perhaps...

I stop by several times a day and haven't had any problems.

Perhaps it's not that you decided to quit, but maybe one of the syncro-pop articles hit a nerve with somebody.

I was thinking about the movie "Conspiracy Theory", where he knows he got something right, but doesn't know which article it was.

Then again, since it's only certain people, it's most likely not your site, but the pipelines from point A to point B.

I realize your dilemma though, and respect whatever decision you make in this regard.

I've never seemed to experience any sort of conviction when looking into the enemies devices. It's something I don't want to be ignorant of.

Jeff,

The biggest problem that your site has, in terms of locking up, is the many instances of flash that you use.

Adobe has known memory leaks in its player that manifest themselves. In fact, the tech writer from the NYT just recently made a complaint to Adobe's devs.

The non-nerd explanation is this:

You have roughly 20 or so posts per page. There is an average of 1.5 or so instances of a Youtube video( all flash embeds, and requesting data).

Then, there are the flash-bang, gee-whiz, rotating earth graphics, along with feedjit on the left hand side.

Needless to say, this can overload memory, and cause processor load spikes.

SOLUTION: Instead of say, 20 posts on the first page, reduce the number to between 5 and 7. Maybe get rid of one of the redundant flash items in the left hand side.

This will vastly increase page load speed, and end some of the access problems. As you are on a free site, and Tom Horn links to you quite frequently, any traffic spikes from RNN will keep people from access.

Thanks, and I can't wait to read more.

At one point I couldn't bring it up either. What was really weird was that I sent some comments to some friends with links to your pages talking about issues we had been sensing/dealing with in ministry, and my friend send back that all he got was a blank page with the following at the bottom;
Clean Clean DocumentMail MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
Huh? That has never happened on an email I've sent before!

I respect whatever you decide to do with the direction of your post but here is the good news about what you have done for me and my family. I have a 12 year old son who has a great heart for the Lord. He is like most kids his age and wants to see movies as they come out. I visit your site almost daily and he looks over my shoulder often as I read and play you-tube videos. We have discussed, at length, the issue of synchro pop and now he sees it for himself. We decided not to go to the transformer movie because of your site. Yesterday he played the DVD of the fantastic 4 rise of the silver surfer, and quickly noted that it was a movie that can play the role of desensitizing kids to the Alien/UFO agenda. He asked if it was ok to watch, I told him it was since he understands the agenda. If people don't learn about this whole phenomenon how can they protect themselves against it?

had probs all day accessing site..just logged in now from home..thought it was cyber-related but who knows..thinking it was so close to BO's 72nd day and 7/11 that govies might have obstructed any communication from your site..get used to it i guess..glad to be back on line.

Hi there!
I was having the same problems but closed my AOL and opened windows internet explorer and now here I am! so pleased!

I am in Australia and have no problems accessing your website at all...just thought I'd let you know!

I had trouble with your site all day and even after midnight last night. I don't know the problem as I have always had no trouble. I have DSL internet.

I am a daily reader in Virginia, and have had no problems. Your pages are content heavy, and often the graphical elements show before the content loads. Being the prolific writer that you are, it might be that older browsers aren't doing so well handling the multimedia links and heavy content. I do not think you are under attack. Don't let technical glitches become bugaboos! Blessings!

Yours in Christ,
Ella
