Internet Hijacking Possible
#1
Take this with a grain of salt, because I only half believe it's even possible. I've seen similar warnings about this before, as to how technically feasible it is, so this is not coming from just one lone nut source:

It's possible that the likes of Google and some of their allies will seize control of some significant portion of the DNS system on the Internet. They have a faux motive already, so we should at least consider it possible in the next week or two, maybe a little later. What that means is that when you try to visit a familiar link in your web browser, it may not go where you expect. This is especially true if any of your favorite sites aren't friendly to the social justice warrior movement.

In other words, the globalists may try to seize control of how we normally access sites on the Net. We have no way of knowing what sites Google may have already tagged for blocking this way, and it could include some of our blogs and so forth. It could even include this forum.

I'm pretty sure my Outlook account is safe (br073n@outlook.com). I'd be really surprised if it affected my Cox ISP account (jhurst18@cox.net). I can't guess if Google is prepared to block my Gmail accounts, or if my Radix Fidem blog is at risk (ehurst@radixfidem.blog). If you are aware of any other accounts I use, those should be safe, but I'm keeping them private.

The whole supposition here is that strange things could happen in the next two weeks that would create a panic among the globalists, making them desperate to seize control of as much of the Net as possible. This is the part that I find most dubious, but I'm sharing this information just in case. There's really not a lot any of us could do if it happens. It's not just that Google has their free DNS resolution addresses, but that they own a major portion of the Internet wiring in the USA. That means they could theoretically control what goes over those wires.

Just don't be surprised if something happens and you can't get your favorite sites some time.

Yeah, there's not much we can do but react if the time comes. Kinda makes me glad I don't know too much about networking...otherwise I'd be going nuts figuring out what to do. On the other hand, if I had that knowledge, I might already be prepared.

I'm pretty sure Tor Browser will keep working as expected, and some VPNs will be okay. The simplest answer for most users would be something like installing Opera, because it has a VPN built in that can be activated if needed. The cheap or free VPNs may not work as well unless you can get a connection that is outside the US. That's why I suggest Opera, because it defaults to places like India or Russia.
