HEADS UP: I HAVE PROOF CLOUDFLARE IS GOING TO BE USED TO TRIP THE INTERNET SHUT DOWN

Last night TONS of sites that use Cloudflare for HTTPS were accessing the Guo videos and at about 1 AM ALL the sites that were using cloudflare vanished. I am surprised it only dropped traffic by about 40 percent, however, all the KEY sites, like Infowars, use it.

Cloudflare is already being used to block links to the Guo vids even if the site operators can't tell, there's no other reason why all SSL hits completely vanished.

SSL is expensive to set up without Cloudflare, but I identified Cloudflare early on - in about 2013 - as a menace that should be avoided at all cost. When you use Cloudflare, you hand an outside entity a way to destroy your site, and just like Wordpress, Twitter and Youtube, Cloudflare has gone down the toilet, there is no other way all the SSL sites just suddenly vanished.

TO THE CENSORS: DON'T EXPECT TO PULL THAT CRAP WITHOUT ME NOTICING.

The main site here, (jimstone.is) has always had Cloudflare reduce hits to whatever extent Cloudflare can manage, but that was just life. Seeing them do that to Voterig showed me just how big the damage is. Cloudflare is damn near satan.

Before cloudflare kicked in their censorship last night, the ratio was about 550 megs to cloudflare sites and 850 megs to sites that are not using them, once every 8 minutes. After their censorship kicked in the 550 vanished completely.

I have warned about cloudflare being dangerous in the past and have explained why my site is not HTTPS even though it is right there in Cpanel, waiting to be switched on, and last night I just saw why NO ONE should switch it on.
