This is not new. It has been ongoing for years: when fascists are unable to control the narrative, they shut down the discussion.
I am seeing now that most of the UK and many other European Internet service providers (ISPs) are blocking this as well as many other websites from being viewed.
Not content with shadow banning academics guilty of wrongspeak from social media, attempting to turn them into unpersons, they are using blocking methods originally developed but rarely used to block criminal enterprises on the web (think scammers and pedophiles) with far more alacrity than when they were ever used as originally intended.
They use a variety of methods to control what you are allowed to view online, much like how I had “guardian control” on our television to stop the kids from watching channels that were not suitable. Amusingly, I know of one home and office firewall company that is listing jihadwatch.org as “adult entertainment.” A provider in the UK, also listing Jihad Watch as adult, asks for credit card numbers to prove you are old enough to view the site.
Canada is introducing “measures,” specifically in Quebec, to block illegal gaming sites, which I would bet my last Loony on being leveraged in the same way, as soon as they criminalize “Islamophobia,” a.k.a. any criticism of jihad and the violence and crime that go hand-in-hand with Islam.
So today, some Internet providers just block this and other sites, giving the impression that site is “down,” not available, mockingly suggesting, “please try later.” We will be seeing far more of this, and there is little anyone can do to stop this from being implemented further.
The vast majority of blocks are actually very simple to bypass. They “poison” the DNS servers that they provide free with your Internet access to misdirect you to other locations. The Turkish government has been using this method for Internet access for a few years. The Chinese “protect” nearly half the world’s population from ThoughtCrime with this trick.
DNS stands for Domain Name Servers. They translate the user-entered website (domain name) such as www.jihadwatch.org into a number that is used by your computer to connect to the website — think postal/zip code. Normally, you are automatically assigned DNS Name Server addresses by your Internet service provider, but changing the DNS servers (on your local machine or router) will stop censorship using this method.
Bypassing the simple DNS poisoning method that is most commonly used is very simple: you just change the DNS servers that Cisco, the worldwide leader in IT and networking hardware, was kind enough to provide. Try use.opendns.com or safer for sharing 208.69.38.205 (which cannot be easily blocked). In fact, in many cases, OpenDNS may be a better service than your own service provider’s DNS. It is simply tested, but whatever happens in the future, keep that link handy to check if your favorite websites really did just vanish.
Here is a complete current list of free to use public DNS servers, Cisco just has great instructions to make the required changes. I believe they do this intentionally to assist in bypassing government censorship.
Further, I would strongly suggest that anyone who may in the future be guilty of wrongthink or some other thoughtcrime, go one step further and encrypt all your Internet traffic using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), so that Internet providers, government agencies and even employers can not snoop. I have been involved with the development of airvpn. I have no financial motive, but I believe they are the best (speed/price), but maybe not as user-friendly as some more commercial VPNs such as Freedome. Using a VPN would be best practice to also stop cyber criminals from carrying out a number of attacks against you when you are using a public wifi (cafe, airport, etc.). It also is a more thorough way to block censorship. If you use a VPN, you do not need to change DNS servers, as the VPN does this for you.
*above, I knowingly use the term “dns poisoning” knowing that it is most commonly used to describe an attack when a bad actor diverts a website’s intended traffic to some other location, normally to inflict some damage, but the ISPs are using similar methods that a Bad Actor would use with the intent of censorship.

To MARC thank you for instructions on how to get around the blocking.
To MAC-101. Thanks also to you for the very clever references to some of my favs; Huxley, Orwell and Bradbury. Nice. Good to have a laugh in such depressing times.
Mac-101 says
tpog, When Star Trek came out I figured the Klingons were Muslims. Then with the later series, after 911, it became apparent that the Borg were Muslims since they assimilate ALL and Resistance is futile!
David Pimentel says
Your Borg equivalence implies a collective intelligence rather than collective rote, which leads to willing subjugation. Your Klingon equivalence is more apt given their innate quest for violent domination.
Cheers.
Mac-101 says
David, Individually many violent Muslims are very stupid. However some are very intelligent. Especially their leaders, and they work for a millennium to establish Satan’s Beast’s rule on earth through their Caliphate. So I’d say the collective intelligence is supplied by Satan through his disciples.

My take has been that Islam promotes a blend of savage Klingon, hive-mind Borg and double-dealing Ferengi.

Hospitals block Jihad Watch in Canada but nearly EVERY TV seems to be locked on CNN.
There’s also an abundance of hijab-wearing “workers” employed for life in government jobs … as if there was a pipeline straight from Immigration offices to permanent government jobs that no regular Canadian, due to their not being related by blood, tribe or marriage, has access to.
underbed cat says
Hospitals are funny places lately, steeped in diversity training, diversity employment and rules about “professional conversation.” This is also in the U.S. as political conversation is considered unprofessional so visitors and employees are not offended. Waiting rooms filled with magazines that can be just as political or offensive with articles with less factual information, but can raise blood pressure.

Lawrence says
For a period of time the free Wi-Fi made available in Tel Aviv by the city municipality (the central city area) blocked access to Jihadwatch.org. It was blocked in the same way illegal movie and porn sites are blocked, marked as ‘illegal or unethical’. So during the Gaza War of 2014, even as Hamas rockets were coming into the Tel Aviv area and the air raid sirens sounded, the dhimmi municipality made sure to keep the citizens of TA safe… from Jihadwatch.org. Thank heavens. Might have made Hamas mad at us otherwise.

Felix Quigley says
Of course I support you Marc but there is only one issue today and that concerns Trump and the role of the spies in America
Infowars has in its videos over the past 24 hours material which shows that Donald Trump was spied on from 2000 or before, at a very intense level, at a level that is hard to exaggerate. This will all come out.
It shows that the ruling class in America and internationally (The British and EU spies were involved also) anticipated that Trump was a danger to them from a very early stage.
The war now against Trump is reaching a very serious level. I view any person who does not defend Trump in these conditions as being a traitor to America and as a socialist/marxist I will split and separate from any person who does not defend Trump in these critical days.
I am building a new movement, the Young Socialists, and will fight on these principles.
As well as defending Trump I am also fighting in defence of Israel and the Jews and will oppose all aspects of Antisemitism. In this regard I do not trust Jones of Infowars one bit because he had as a guest the notorious Israel hater David Icke this past week. Mr Jones you may not actually understand what principle is but the movement among the youth that I build does and will for sure know what principle is. I would not allow Icke to enter my house politically speaking but Jones has done just that.
no_one says
David Icke is a mentally ill person. If someone takes him seriously they don’t desrve respect. He believes in reptile people and all sorts of conspiracy theories.
Mac-101 says
Icke had some very good points back 20 or 30 years ago. I believe he just used the alien Reptilian creatures as subterfuge so everyone would say he was just crazy so he didn’t end up JFKed or Breitbarted.
Then again what would ya call Soros, Kissinger, Rockefeller and, of course da Hildebeast, if not a Reptilian creature? Lol!
Angemon says
“In this regard I do not trust Jones of Infowars one bit because he had as a guest the notorious Israel hater David Icke this past week.”
Infowars is kind of a mixed bag on that regard – they’ll report ANY and EVERYTHING, and take credit for whatever sticks. And I mean anything – for example, when Trump decided to run for the Republican nomination, Infowars claimed he was a Hillary plant. Now? They practically worship him.
overman says
About a month ago, alex jones had David Horowitz on his show [David funds this site l believe], who many describe as ultra-zionist, and alex was saying how much he himself loves lsrael [now they say alex jones has sold-out to jewish zionists lol]. So, yeah a mixed bad.
But, info-wars does regularly condemn lslam and the Global Jihad taking place atm.

I have noticed that anti-virus software is now automatically categorizing counter jihad websites, such as: Bare Naked Islam, and Family Security Matters, as “harmful to your computer”.

Just A Concerned Citizen says
Thinking back to late 2014 when the Royal Navy reached out to the yanks for some help and they sent me. Whenever there was a rare opportunity onboard to use the internet, my sense of martial duty (and morbid curiosity…) compelled me to type in Jihad Watch’s address in the bar. It never failed to alert me that this was a naughty site that Her Majesty’s government did not approve of.
At least the Thought Police were never deployed on me, I suppose. But for a few months, I had to ask my guys back at “home” to send me the JW headlines in my official e-mail. If my interest was piqued enough, they’d send a copy/paste of the entire text.
Ted says
A video in England with a gang of filthy, bearded men protesting. The signs said down with the U.K. down with the police. When asked what they would do with the Queen they said she would have to leave the country. The Queen had better be careful too. We British took care of lord Haw, Haw for his treason, and the Brits had better come up with something along the same line. DEPORTATION. These scum dare to scream at the troops, coming home from Afghanistan. Get the hell out of the E.U. and secure your borders. If the Scots want to leave because they like the E.U. then so be it, but put a new Hadrians wall to make sure the masses who swallow up Scotland cant enter England. I hate how these bastards are now starting to make me think and feel.

God's Warrior says
The internet is the saviour of civilization.
Even after 9/11 we thought these guys were just upset about America’s involvement in the desert. We had no idea that this all came from the warlords’ additions to their religion; additions which for some reason became accepted as divine scripture, decades after the prophet left, long after Allah explained clearly that He had concluded His message to His people.
Fortunately now with the internet everyone is gradually learning the truth, due much in part to the unfathomable activities of ISIS parading and executing these scriptures’ monstrosities in colour daily around the world, but also in part to word-of-mouth and word-of-keystroke by every sentient creature on the planet.
Of course many commenters on the Internet are so incensed that they rarely get beyond a few expletives, but gradually the content will get out there. The “Tears of Jihad” will be known. And we will not remain our own worst enemies, afraid to face history, afraid to offend feelings, afraid to challenge God.
It is my belief and hope that the real followers of the prophet will be successful in removing all subsequent warlord texts, just as they have already removed them from their hearts.
Muslims have an uphill battle to fight, but their faith in Allah and the prophet will make them successful, hopefully before the world has to destroy the misguided followers who have yet to get it, to rise above, to change their hearts and find peace.
Trying to hide the truth from Europe and the world is disastrous for everyone. One day these European technological opponents will realize their shame. Like gravity, karma just is. And they will fall – so they learn, pick themselves up and move on. Sooner the better – less karma, less force needed for adjustment.
Carolyne says
So you are saying, God’s Warrior, that Islam has nothing to do with Islam? So Mohammed (Piss be upon him) didn’t really kill all those people, take slaves and rob and steal and command his followers to do likewise? What have you been smoking?
God's Warrior says
God, Carolyne, I don’t know.
We have some books but I seriously doubt their honesty. Each warlord who tried to take over the franchise ended up getting whacked. Some made laws like the Sharia, then decades later others added the Hadith and Sira to try to establish the authenticity of the Sharia. The Koran itself underwent major purges.
A lot of innocent people have invested their natural love for God in the religion. I am trying to leave those people a way out, because they will be devastated when and if they ever find out the truth about how their innocent faith has been abused. God is not a fool. Just as a mother knows her child is calling her, even before it can actually speak, God knows our sincerity – and that is all He wants.
Of the hundred muslims I have met, there were none I would consider a holy man of God, but I have encountered many innocents who deserve God’s mercy. Most of the women likely have no idea about the sinister aspects found in the books and the plans the men have to plunder the world. This is quite possibly why they discourage education for women, knowing that by nature they would find the thug lifestyle repulsive and embarrassing.
So for me, I just don’t know what is true. At face value I would reject it all, but a great saint I revere has written that the prophet was sent from the Kingdom of God, so in humility I search to see how that can be. Jesus said he was sent to teach about the Kingdom of God. And it is easy to see, to prove that that is the essence of religion. But this stuff, it is just empty and bewildering. Yet we all get what we need, what we can handle. Maybe people who are naturally thugs and miscreants would only find this bizarre religion attractive. Maybe God makes Himself approachable even by the miscreants.
But whatever it is, as currently configured, I know it must end now. Rescue whomever we can, but it ends now. Fix it or forget it.
I know this was not much of an answer, but it’s all I got for now.
No Fear says
Thanks Marc. VPN for me.
marc says
I really would recommend VPN as a first choice, but it does add a cost to internet access and can slow it down, so I tend to primarily push making DNS server changes to bypass censorship. Privacy and security are another issue.
No Fear says
I have changed my DNS and I use a VPN. Thanks. The whole internet is gradually going Orwellian.

@ Red Bee, No, not for http://www.jihadwatch.org or many other sites that are under constant ddos attack, as the firewall will just block you, changing DNS server IPs or using a VPN really are the only way.

Google on free encryption. Suggest PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) Should things evolve into a true police-state.
I would be as concerned also about freedom of access of information coming Into you as well as going out.

I use ExpressVPN at home. Yes, it costs something but better safe than sorry, as they say.
Beauty of this is that they will continuously keep updating so you don’t have to worry about changing your IP address yourself. For people who are computer savvy and can do this easily it is not a problem but for many having a tool like this is so much easier.
Hola is free but I don’t know how good that will be once sites are being blocked all over the world.
I will definitely put this page into my favorites so that I can one more weapon against cencorship.
There is always the dark net if all else fails.

A VPN will always be best practice, as you know it needs setting up, I don’t know ExpressVPN, but they seem fine, i would just avoid any free VPN service is all. Yes that opendns link could be very needed one day, even if just to share to others.
Darkweb, i wouldn’t want to recommend anyone pokes around there, far too much malware, bad guys and scams. Tor, just for use to access restricted sites, thats fine, but awfully slow.

I always bookmark (Firefox) or favourite (IE) pages that are useful and back them up on USB as well.
I will have to let as many people as possible about this too so they know what to do.
dumbledoresarmy says
As regards one’s favourite counter-jihad information sites… it’s a good reminder for all of us to think hard about paying our ‘subscription’. Those of us who are observing Lent might consider a solid donation to assorted freedom fighters (and to an organisation such as Barnabas Fund, that assists the *victims* of Islam and *also* engages in awareness-raising) as part of our Lenten discipline and practice of Charity.
The better resourced Mr Spencer is, the better. Then he can have a whole team of ‘Marcs’ — and pay them a good wage for their labour.
The other thing to do, of course, is – as much as possible – to engage in face-to-face real-world interaction with fellow Resisters of Jihad, **in your own countries**.
If American, you have ACT for America: join up and pitch in.
If British – there is Pegida UK, there is March for England, there is – yes – the EDL, there is Tommy Robinson who needs backing, there is Gavin Boby soldiering along with his “Law and Freedom Foundation”, there is Paul Weston with Liberty Great Britain. And for cultural affirmation and networking and lobbying possibilities – why not join The Royal Society of St George, en masse?
Just in case a ‘clearing house’ like Jihadwatch does get blocked more comprehensivley- make the best possible use you can of it, NOW, but.. plan for what you can do, where you are, with what you’ve already learned, and how you can pass that on.

marc, you say that the vast majority of blocks are actually very simple to bypass, so im wondering, if more effective blocks are possible, are they harder to bypass or impossible to bypass? –worst case scenario.
Also, i’ve been reading david horowitz’s the shadow party. Chapter 8 talks about mcCain-Feingold act and how a us district judge ordered the FEC to regulate bloggers speech, and make not following the “rules” a federal offense. Public outrage stopped them, for now. I know the act is only regulating a couple months before elections, but, if somehow things got really weird and gov’t made sites like jihad watch illegal, how would jihad watch communicate?
marc says
This method DNS poisoning method has been used as i say broadly by other states, entirely in the case of China to block access to certain sites. It’s cheap and easy for them to deploy. I assume they will continue using this method. They can use other methods that would be effective against changing your DNS servers, but then a VPN will always work, but even using a VPN is illegal in some states, I know that I have setup accounts for friends in Iran due to their blocking method, including blocks of the VPN providers themselves, you can’t setup a VPN account, because you can’t access a VPN vendors site…
I mentioned the that change in the law in Canada, supposedly to regulate access to gaming sites, i see that as testing the water, take a look at this one from the states, http://www.citypages.com/news/edina-police-ask-for-whole-citys-google-searches-and-a-judge-says-yes/416319633 it’s hard to take the side if the scam artist, but I have to say thats a pretty scary president to be setting.
I think we are a long way of actual legal banning in NA, but I think there is a lot more bad stuff on it’s way which is of far more concern. This post has been a great success, I would like todo another shortly on privacy best practice.

thank you. excellent

I’ve noticed this when I tried to access by Tor. Sometimes it appears the site was taken down but then I use the normal browser and see that everything is OK also commenting on Tor depending on what country the page appears it doesn’t allow me to comment mainly if it is some EU member.

That might be me, Tor will not block Jihadwatch, but we are often DDoS attacked by Tor IPs, so I am forced to blacklist them.

Jihadwatch is very popular in Australia, but I have seen reports of public WIFIs blocking the site.
Peggy says
Another bit of good news is that the government is changing 18C which takes out “it is illegal to humiliate or offend on racial grounds” and rewording to “it’s illegal to harass or intimidate on racial grounds”.
Looks like free speech is slowly coming back to Australia so I doubt they will start banning this site or similar sites.

What’s the big deal? Your strategy and tactics have led to mixed results at best. Maybe the increasing Internet censorship will motivate you and others to think differently about the problem of Muslim aggression.

WHAT? WHAT? So you no longer support freedom of speech? Imdontnlike calling people names because it’s childish, but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say YOURE AN IDIOT! Not only is Islam the biggest danger to freedom and Liberty, including the survival of humanity and culture as we know it today, FREEDOM is not negotiable. The way Robert Spencer “deals” with Islam is the only way, aside from going out and using an AK 47 every Muslim alive today. Killing is not an option either so it’s make people knowledgeable or watch our children be raped and supresseed under Islam.

@TL If you read the title of the page, the “meta data”, or what’s shown as a description in search engines, you will find it says

“They translate the user-entered website (domain name) such as http://www.jihadwatch.org into a number that is used by your computer to connect to the website”
What is the number for Jihad Watch? Would it avoid redirects by linking to the number rather than the name?
dave says
Answered my own question. Using the IP address is blocked by the sites security. (don’t quite know why if the url is translated to this number anyway). I was just getting a lot of re-directs when using the url.
