The view count increased by 100 in just one hour since I first received a notification from WordPress. The numbers just aren’t adding up, and my website is experiencing slow access issues. The last time this happened, it was due to a denial-of-service attack about a year ago when I was deeply involved in researching the Philippines’ ‘Assertive Transparency Initiative.’ It’s interesting how these issues have resurfaced now that I’ve returned to this topic. Unfortunately, I let my Netgear Armor security subscription lapse, so I didn’t receive any notifications this time.
Previous DDoS attacks:

If things did not get better by April of this year, I had intended to retire. I do not know if I will be retiring before April 2026. It is all dependent on if my health improves.

Usually, these DoS attacks happen the day after I post something with my research. The only thing that I posted on the 11th was about Japan and the Unification Church. It wasn’t anything too extensive. It was the 12th that I posted about the Philippine Army visiting the Sixteenth Air Force, which is responsible for information warfare.
My WordPress still gets attacked, despite my visitors being practically null. As you can see, my visitors have declined by 50% since the attacks started happening. Whoever is doing it has succeeded, but I suppose they aren’t going to stop until my visitors are at zero. FYI, I don’t count the views because most of those are probably mine when I double-check the site or search for a previous post. I’ll admit that it’s discouraged me from posting. Most of the work that I’ve been doing is on YouTube (or Rumble) and working on Google Docs. I need to transfer some documents to my pages soon. Anyway, I appreciate those of you who continue to read my posts! Welcome to my new followers, as well!
