Dr Mercola being forced to take down all of his health articles from his website

[Mercedes]

This is terrible, the censorship is on maximum, it's just so obvious they do not want people to know the true science, stupidity is a ruling normal. It's gaining territory by the minute.

Sorry I don't understand this. I hope someone can explain it to me.
I realize that YouTube, Facebook, Twitter etc. can censor people's work.

If Mercola is paying a private website to host his content, why would he be forced to remove it?

[Bill Ryan]

From Mike Adams (naturalnews.com) yesterday. I have to confess, I was shocked. (But the reasons for his decision seem unclear. Was he seriously threatened, or is he just demoralized and depressed about all the media attacks?)

(Presumably, if he really does start to delete his content, it will all still be available, with a little searching, on archive.org)

[Blastolabs]

I already checked archive.org it appears he has his site setup to not be crawled, or perhaps someone else got to it first?

[Violet3]

Dr. Mercola states that the Biden administration threatened him with seizure of his domain, and as a result he has been forced to take down his whole archive of 15,000 articles, accumulated over the last 25 years. He then states he will still publish information but it will only be available for 48 hours and presumably will not be available anywhere after that.

[palehorse]

I can tell you that weeks ago I was trying to access an article about coconut oil in his website and the article gonna, it was a link someone posted here on PA with the thread about coconut oil.

[I am B]

I'm gonna repost here my opinion from the Internet censorship thread, where I think it belongs regarding this matter. Maybe the other post could be deleted but Idk how to do so

-

I'm taking a bit of a step back on this Mercola, Kennedy Jr. , etc matter. The 12 disinformation list.

If you don't want something to be talked about, some narrative to not come forward, some truth to remain hidden, you don't talk about it. Be it in the good or the bad way, just remain silent and don't even mention their names. Given the actual situation, they know very well that publishing such a list and taking such measures (publicly, moreover) , is gonna give these people a TON of propaganda, relevance, and make their ideas arrive to even more people. (I myself had barely heard the Mercola name mentioned a few weeks back)

I'm not questioning the legitimacy, the data, or the good will of any of these people. Rather the opposite, for what I've seen they seem to make incredible content.

BUT

Maybe they are being turned into controlled disidence, and the truth is still deeper than that, as scary as it may be.

One way or another I do hope most of his material could be saved on time...

... from Jim Stone:

The following took an interesting turn and is well worth a read. This started with a message I front paged for JudgeDredd:

JudgeDredd:

Mercola, at Mercola.com has been ordered to delete his site in 48 hours OR ELSE.

(if you can) Back up Mercola's site and hopefully I will be able to put it on another server from what you get. Make sure it runs locally perfectly before quitting file acquisition, I do not know how you are able to do that when you don't own the site.

Check out the response, and remember what I told EVERYONE about cloudflare MANY TIMES in the past:

"Hi Jim, I saw your message around 2AM and went to work to see if I could mirror/rip M's site and ater checking and inputting all the parameters I found that it was impossible. The culprit? Cloudflare. It was preventing me from copying files via the program I was using (HTTrack)

So because M does not understand the way things are on the 'net he has screwed himself.

Thanks for the message, that was interesting to read, that's for sure!"

My (Jim Stone's) response:

well, that does it then because I cannot spend a month hunting down everything on his site to re-build it. Adios to him (and I cannot blame him) even "experts" don't know about cloudflare and how it totally destroys your survival on the web, yes it can stave off attacks but there's no way Mercola needed that. Alex probably does with the way his site is set up but 99 percent just use it because it is "free" and "cool".

Anything that can stop "attacks" can be rigged to prevent you from being seen by anyone. If you in alt media, I suggest avoiding cloudflare like the plague unless you have a multi million dollar budget and multiple full time web admins like Alex has. Those people will notice any f***ery going on (that said, when they FINALLY flip the switch they WILL on Alex, and cloudflare will be a key item making that happen.) However, when that happens to a site as big as Infowars, Alex will be on the run anyway if he gets a chance to start running. He probably will not, they know when and where he sleeps.

UPDATE: MERCOLA MUST HAVE RECEIVED VERY SERIOUS THREATS, CHECK THIS OUT:

JudgeDredd sent to Mercola's girlfriend:

"Hi. I specialize in saving websites from being censored. Would it be possible that I can speak directly with Mercola about his websites? I would like to first save them and mirror them elsewhere or at least have them archived. My phone number and Email are ________ thank you!

Response:

"Hi. Yes, they have already deleted everything so nobody can save anything. It is so sad and I'm pretty upset today as you can imagine. They already deleted everything and you can get nothing from archive.org. Mercola has offices in several nations with hundreds of employees and they have made sure there are no back up copies. It's all gone from the wayback machine.

I have thousands of messages today and CNN top news anchors outside the door so I will be back.

Here is the comment that strongly indicates Mercola got a threat far beyond the usual:

He doesn't want them published anywhere ever. Anyone who does will be getting a takedown notice I guess. Very sad times".

My (Jim Stone's) comment:

well, I guess we'll all soon find out just how resilient this site is, I cannot believe this happened. First they came for Mercola . . . . he had one of the best sites out there. His site still runs, but it is missing a lot.

[Open Minded Dude]

Never been on his site but heard about him quite often. This is a real shame. Making him and others like him martyrs will not serve these devils in the long run, or even mid-term run. It will backfire sooner or later. Big time.

"OR ELSE..." is not the end, but it was the beginning... https://allnewspipeline.com/This_Is_...ff_Doctors.php

[palehorse]

I can't believe it is a single point of failure, just like that? poof!
No database backups? seems very unusual to me.

I had seen some websites on alt news giving option to access via Tor onion address which is a good option, not everybody uses Tor, but with censorship escalating, better change strategy to something else, even off-shore servers are getting raided lately, domain names is another thing that can be seized pretty easy.
They are not cracking down only in alt news, it is torrent sites, IPTV sites and everything that these bastards dislike (mostly copyright infringement BS).

I see it as a great opportunity to decentralization gain some motion and finally set itself up, use P2P chats, use torrents ( by the way torrent protocol just turned 20 years old ), use everything decentralized and distributed, screw centralization of power, we decide not them. Take action.

From Infowars, an hour and a half ago:

• https://infowars.com/posts/watch-cnn...misinformation

A video clip going viral online shows CNN reporter Randi Kaye hunting down Dr. Joseph Mercola to accuse him of spreading “misinformation” about Covid-19, masks and vaccines.

First, Kaye is seen walking into Mercola’s Fort Meyers, Florida office and asking employees if the doctor is available.

The CNN reporter said she wanted to ask the doctor about “misinformation” he’s spreading online, such as “masks may not work, vaccines could be dangerous and vitamins C and D can prevent or treat coronavirus.”

After being told Mercola was not at the office, Kaye traveled over 200 miles and showed up outside his house.

https://twitter.com/eScarry/status/1423086987620323331

After failing to reach Mercola at home, the CNN crew saw the doctor riding his bike nearby and followed him to engage in an ambush interview.

“How are you? I’m Randi Kaye with CNN. Can we ask you a couple questions?” the reporter queried.

She continued, “We just want to talk to you about vaccines and what you’ve been saying about them. Do you feel responsible for people who didn’t get vaccinated and possibly got sick and died because of what you told them about the vaccine? What do you say to families who lost loved ones? Are you spreading misinformation? Why won’t you speak to us?”

As she asked question after question, Mercola calmly got back onto his bicycle and rode off without saying a word to the pesky reporter.

Dr. Mercola is labeled by the White House as a member of the “disinformation dozen,” which is a group of internet users allegedly responsible for 65% of anti-vaccine on social media.

Last month, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki called on Facebook to remove posts by these users “quickly” before revealing the Biden administration actually tells the platform which accounts to censor.

https://twitter.com/Breaking911/stat...42253297975303

On Tuesday, Dr. Mercola announced he will be deleting all content posted to his website 48 hours after its publication in order to avoid being persecuted by the Biden administration.

“These were the times when many of the views I presented were criticized, but that’s to be expected,” he explained. “That was one of the great freedoms we enjoyed. We could have different views and we could speak openly about these views without fear of retribution.”

Dr. Mercola added, “But we are now in a different time. A much darker time. The silence of free speech is now deafening.”

Gee, he looks very, very fit and healthy. How could he possibly know anything about what to do to maintain good health?

CiaNN is a disgusting den of clueless and/or evil rats and vipers.

[lizhekb]

Thanks for Covid, we are now all equal in front of the vaccine and the new world order.

[Satori]

And another thing; how disingenuous to show up unannounced at his office, then travel 220 miles to doxx him at his home, then claim that they just happened “to spot him” on his bike. They were tracking him down and hunting him in order to harass him.

[Ernie Nemeth]

I get his sentiment. I too have simply thrown up my hands in exasperation. But is his good standing with big tech more important than the truth?

[Ewan]

Well that's the equivalent of a mass book burning isn't it. Can't help but feel he threw in the towel a bit easily; 99% sure my self-preservation would not come before the truth, (-if personal safety was the main motive?).

I'm guessing a lot of his stuff is archived but in scattered form, lots of people will have copies of items. Collecting them all in the current climate would be next to impossible, but maybe one day.

So Orwellian and so many can't see that, very disturbing.

The top dogs in control don't make (many) mistakes, but once the programmed rats are let free of the maze they tend to act on their own. If they're on a crusade they're apt to be most foolish.

However, even if millions scrambled to see what Mercola had been saying they won't find it now.

[wondering]

Dear Ewan, I know nothing about Dr Mercola personally, however his long standing efforts at education and support of the health of his patients lead me to believe he is dedicated to his profession. I don't think we can presume to know what this has cost him or the many others who have provided us with their truth about CV19 and possible treatments. I wonder what makes you think that he "threw in the towel a bit easily"?

[Ewan]

I am wondering why he deleted all his work from the internet without, apparently, some effort to preserve it. That seemed like a surrender to me, I do hope I am viewing it wrongly.

Could it possibly be more than just good standing?
Could they have threatened his well-being/life if he didn't abide by their demands?
