Fellow Blogger Under Attack by Hackers

Almost from its inception, Liestoppers has been featured regularly on The Liberty Sphere as the most important source of factual information concerning the Duke lacrosse rape hoax and its many political ramifications.

As a result of its tireless efforts, the three falsely accused lacrosse players were pronounced innocent of the charges and a popular local District Attorney was disbarred and faced criminal charges before a North Carolina court.

Determined that no stone be left unturned in its valiant search for truth and justice, Liestoppers continued peeling back the layers of the case, revealing widespread corruption in the North Carolina Department of Justice, the state legislature, the Durham police department, the Durham D.A.'s office, the North Carolina and Durham County Democratic Party, and Duke University.

Political aspirations among some within these corrupt entities run high, and, given that this is an important election year, someone with deep pockets and access to high-tech methodology has embarked on a systematic effort to silence freedom of speech, particularly with regard to the Liestoppers blog.

Hackers gained access to the blog's control panel and shut down its popular forum, where readers can participate in discussions concerning the corruption of the North Carolina political system, which is under the dominance of the N.C. Democratic Party.

We at The Liberty Sphere had noticed something amiss in the blogosphere when, over a period of several weeks, we received messages concerning Liestoppers containing charges that the blog has engaged in deliberate misinformation and outright lies.

Bloggers are accustomed to these periodic displays given that the Internet is a reflection of life in general, i.e., persons of ill repute and ill will occasionally leave us an unwelcome 'gift.'

These messages, thus, were disregarded.

This was until we read on Saturday that the Liestoppers' forum had been hacked and shut down. At that point we began to realize that the attack was part of a broad, concerted effort to silence free speech, attempting to involve anyone and everyone who had been a part of Liestoppers' efforts in any way in the past.

Liestoppers is a daily feature of The Liberty Sphere. Their latest posts are included in our sidebar as a matter of course. Liestoppers has reciprocated and done the same for The Liberty Sphere. This has been our mutual relationship for a significant period of time.

For our part, this will not change. In fact, now more than ever the blog needs the support of those who appreciate and value their stand for truth and justice.
