10-31-2025: Denial-of-service attack on my WordPress

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.

The CIA Built Hundreds of Covert Websites: Here’s What They Were Hiding

The CIA didn’t just infiltrate governments; it infiltrated the internet itself. For over a decade, Langley operated a sprawling network of covert websites that served as global spy terminals disguised as harmless blogs, news hubs, and fan pages.

The Web of State-Backed Extremism: From COINTELPRO to MKY

In July 2024, U.S. authorities indicted Michail Chkhikvishvili, the alleged new leader of Maniac Murder Cult (MKY), on four counts related to soliciting hate crimes and planning mass violence in New York City. Chkhikvishvili, 21, was arrested in Chișinău, Moldova, and extradited to the United States on May 22, 2025. The following day, he made his first appearance in Federal District Court before Magistrate Judge Peggy Kuo.

By the 1960s, America’s rivals were paying attention. The Soviet newspaper Pravda nicknamed RAND “the academy of science and death and destruction.” American outfits preferred to call them the “wizards of Armageddon.”

DoS Attack 10-12-2024

The last one that I noticed was on June 11, 2024. I believe that I got a few false alerts, as they didn’t coincide with my visits to the site.

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.
