…I haven’t been able to access the website georgewbush.com . At first, I thought that the site was down for a few days, but after a couple of weeks, worked out that there was no way I was getting in! I have tried to access it through netscape and internet explorer, to no avail. Is the site blocked to international viewers? Or is there something wrong with my connection? Any other kiwis having this problem?
[edit] on preview before posting, I found that through google I can get to a cache of the front page, but can’t get to any of the links on the page… [/edit]
…oddly enough, I’ve tried to get into the site at all times of the day and night the last couple of days before I posted(I lead a boring life ) , and haven’t been able to get in… Thanks for letting me know that I’m not crazy and everything though, I was getting worried for a minute that it was only me!
When I was traveling in Thailand (feb/mar-04) I couldn’t reach it either. I tried a few different internet places but still couldn’t get in. I had the feeling, rightly or wrongly, that it was being blocked by someone, somewhere. And Thailand is relatively pro-US, heck, they even have troops in Iraq.
Ironically, I can easily reach the site in France and Belgium…
…about certain ISP’s whose access has been blocked to this site:
because of fears of hacking… My assumption would be that www.georgewbush.com has been blocked to certain ISP’s, which would explain why some people in Australia could access the site, while others couldn’t…
