Brad,
I've noticed that large portions of the whitehouse.gov website are blocked from search engines by the site's robots.txt file:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/robots.txt

There are a number of reasons why they might do that, but one has to wonder if it is to prevent search engines from caching the pages.

I've used search engine caches at Google and InternetArchive.org to prove alterations and deletions at other web sites (ie astrologer sites that claim they predicted 9/11)

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. I know, of course, that the past is falsified, but it would never be possible for me to prove it, even when I did the falsification myself. After the thing is done, no evidence ever remains. The only evidence is inside my own mind, and I don't know with any certainty that any other human being shares my memories. Just in that one instance, in my whole life, I did possess actual concrete evidence after the event --- years after it."
~Orwell, 1984

Brad et ol,
Can anybody find yjis report on the Internet; ElBaradei to the Security Council on 7 March 2003?

Started searching for report about Ammo dump in Iraq and noticed that IAEA web sites just started coming up missing.

This report was addressed in four sites, but I haven't been able to lock on to the site. :angry:

Dear Brad,

Your story regarding the weapons was way off base and completely wrong. You told everyone who disagreed they were wrong. Now you have been proven incorrect. But yesterday you had a story and a link to some BS article about it.

Where o where did that article go. Have we been scrubbing?

HAHAHAHAHAHA wrong again!

Sorry. No scrubbing here. Every item ever posted remains online.

As to being "proven incorrect", sounds like your sniffing to much Rush kool-aid...But good luck!

I dont listen to Rush, I have a real Job.

Brad,

I th ought Osama was supposed to be caught all of a sudden at the end of the election. That was another one of the theories morons like you floated. Where is he? Why didnt he show up?
Why are you so full of crap?

They can't capture Osama, Lolo. He's dead. Has been for awhile. But with CGI they can produce a video whenever they need one to keep you scared and in line. He's not dead like Andy Kaufman, but really dead, like Elvis. You may not know this Lolo, (or is it Lola?) but Karl Rove was a big fan of Andy Kaufman. He didn't care for Elvis.

Do You think (HER)Hurricane Katrina was Bad?
Read This.
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17 ¶ And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Bush: Expect increased violence
“We can expect they’ll do everything in their power to try to stop the march of freedom,” Bush said of the insurgents. “And our troops are ready for it.”

OH REALLY????
Mr Bush, I DONT THINK SO.
Maybe YOU are ready , BUT, America is NOT.
Look around you Mr. Pres.

I have a similar story as detailed at the website link provided, above. It tells how the transcript of the "one terrible pilot" comment Bush made to a little boy was scrubbed from the White House Website.
