Newer Update (10:30 PM Jan 21):
Now I can get into Gates of Vienna, but when I try to get into any comments field there to leave a comment, I get an error message from "Host Gator" telling me there'a "404 error". I suppose these are hiccups from the rebuilding process -- but the blame for all this still lies squarely on the shoulders of the PC MC Google corporation and its irrational hypersensitivity to imagined "hate speech" (a crime which, of course, only those who defend the West and its liberal values are guilty of).
New Update (6 PM Jan. 21):
WTF?
Within 60 minutes of my last update below, thinking that Gates of Vienna was back up and running under its new domain, I now find that clicking on the new URL no longer leads me to Gates of Vienna, but now leads me to a Wordpress page that says, in part:
Welcome to the famous five minute WordPress installation process! You may want to browse the ReadMe documentation at your leisure. Otherwise, just fill in the information below and you’ll be on your way to using the most extendable and powerful personal publishing platform in the world.
Previous Update:
Gates of Vienna is back, building itself back up after migrating to its own domain, free of Google/Blogger. The URL is the same, except for a .net at the end:
http://gatesofvienna.net/
I'll leave what I wrote previously, as in many ways it's still relevant:
There in an ongoing situation that evidently will continue flutuating for an indefinite time -- Jihad Watch is still plagued with minor problems, though it seems (for now) to have surmounted the cyber attack it sustained earlier this week.
The Gates of Vienna blog, however, after it seemed to have reappeared unscathed the other day, has now become inaccessible again -- for at least the last 24 hours if not longer.
This time, it looks like more than a technical "glitch". Instead of getting to the blog when you click on its link, you get this Orwellian, Kafkaesque notice:
"This blog is under review due to possible Blogger Terms of Service violations and is open to authors only".
And what "Term of Service" did Gates of Vienna likely "violate"? No doubt this one, found under their "Content policy" page, in which with one hand they claim to support freedom of speech, but with the other -- just as the Constitution under the totalitarian Soviet Union in large print guaranteed rights but took them away in the fine print -- they provide themselves with a broad loophole to arbitrarily invoke the irrational paradigm of PC MC in order to trample that right:
Hate Speech: We want you to use Blogger to express your opinions, even very controversial ones. But, don't cross the line by publishing hate speech. By this, we mean content that promotes hate or violence towards groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, or sexual orientation/gender identity. For example, don't write a blog saying that members of Race X are criminals or advocating violence against followers of Religion Y.
Conclusion:
Is it just a coincidence that the two largest, most inflental counter-jihad sites on the Internet became beset with sign in problems in the same week? We could be seeing just the beginning of the Islamoleftist nebula finally getting their shit together to try to cripple what they have long perceived to be a threat to their agenda -- that threat being, of course, the mere presentation of the facts about Islam and the ongoing, if not metastasizing, danger Islam poses to the liberties which the modern world cherishes (or should cherish) -- facts the Islamoleftists have been trying to obfuscate for years. The irony, of course, is that the broader non-Leftist, non-Muslim culture of Politically Correct Multi-Culuralism which dominates the West (and we see a massive glimpse of that idiocy in the Terms of Service quoted above) unwittingly aids and abets that obfuscation.
But the Islamoleftists know that the mountainous mudslide of horrifically anti-liberal data which they are defending is slowly becoming clearer and clearer (if only by virtue of the fact that Muslims have a blueprint of supremacist-expansionist Lebensraum to follow to the fanatical letter), and that they will not be able to count on our dominant dunces in the PC MC orbit to continue helping them, unwittingly, too much longer. Even PC MCs have a limit, and Muslims are inexorably on their way to testing that limit past its breaking point. Sensing this, Islamoleftists in the meantime seek to circumvent that process, through garden-variety thuggery, including cyber-atacks and exploiting the irrational sensitivity to "hate speech" which continues to motivate PC MCs past the point of sense; when they, the PC MCs, insist on opposing criticism and condemnation of the worst haters and bigots in the world -- Muslims.

You ought to have a fallback plan for moving all your stuff to another host, like Wordpress, in case Blogger ever does the same thing to you. Doesn't hurt to be careful.
GoV is back again, Hesp. I think that there may be growing pains until the website is fully migrated.

Egghead, I know it WAS back. As my latest update indicated, I went there earlier today. The problem is, I can't get back to it now.
So what would happen to the Hesperado blog should Google decide to close it down? Is there a backup plan (with "backup" having multiple meanings in this context)?
Thanks for your concern. As far as I know, backing it up has to be painstakingly piecemeal; so I've been putting it off.
Hi Hesp,
You really need to be backing up your essays as your thoughts ARE very IMPORTANT thoughts. :)
Whether to protect against Islam encroaching or simply a natural disaster, you should keep a copy of each of your essays in a good water proof fire safe.
Egghead
Why not just copy and paste each of your essays into one or more Word files?
Then, backup the Word file(s).
Plus, print hard copies and put them in the safe, too, in case computers stop working due to an EMP or other bad event.

Thanks Egghead -- I could have sworn I responded to this a couple of days ago. Oh well, I figured out a way to copy at least 10 to 15 essays at a time that's not too annoying, and will certainly be faster than doing it essay-by-essay. I'll be doing that soon.
The irony, of course, is that the broader non-Leftist, non-Muslim culture of Politically Correct Multi-Culuralism which dominates the West (and we see a massive glimpse of that idiocy in the Terms of Service quoted above) unwittingly aids and abets that obfuscation.
Any concept of "irony" may not enter into this. Far too much of the PCMC hierarchy—even that which is wittingly, or not so wittingly supported by the "non-Leftist, non-Muslim culture" (e.g., the GOP)—and its attendant rule-set serve those ends of the political and financial elite's vision of a New World Order.
Witness Republican Party participation in restricting Free Speech and limiting gun ownership rights. These are two vital issues that strongly control the West's ability to withstand the predations of Islam. Unfortunately, they also represent nettlesome thorns with respect to establishing that aforesaid New World Order and, therefore, are thrown under the bus in favor of—however insanely foolish it actually is to do so—dealing with a further empowered Islam at some later date as though it is merely an improperly housebroken pet in need of more discipline.
Even PC MCs have a limit, and Muslims are inexorably on their way to testing that limit past its breaking point.
Islam always tests every barrier to its breaking point. It is this exact characteristic that ensures the, otherwise avoidable, Muslim holocaust. Put plainly:
Islam accumulates too many enemies too fast.
Just by its highly abrasive nature does Islam do this. The New World Order idiots think that this is something that they can capitalize upon by using Islamic terrorism as a stalking horse to restrict Western freedoms. Little do they realize that, short of immolating the the entire MME (Muslim Middle East) in nuclear plasma, there is little way of stuffing the Islamic genie back into its bottle.
Absolutely worst of all is how:
Islam wouldn't have it any other way.
Egghead: Hesperado believes that Islam would be a Satanic religion if Satan existed....
I believe that Islam is a Satanic religion - without conditions.
If you see Islam as Satanic, then Satan's intentional invention and purpose of Islam to physically and spiritually destroy humans becomes explicit.
This is a rare occasion where my personal agnosticism provides me with a unique position of general agreement. Yes, to all of the above.
I have long maintained that Islam is a spiritual gulag whose ascendance on earth would amount to Global Cultural Genocide™.
Several years of ongoing events have not shifted my views one iota.
To Baron Bodissey's credit, he once shared with me the view that if the word "evil" is to have any meaning, then it must be said that Islam is "evil".
It would be enjoyable to see you address how Islam fits into the New World Order's agenda, especially within the framework that Hesperado provided regarding how both Liberal and Conservative adherence to PCMC facilitates jihad.
Hi Zenster: Well, there is scarce difference between right and left anymore with regard to political parties (versus the ideas of the common men on the ground).
The New World Order plans to use Islam to cause enough violence to legislate the lack of all religion except for the state religion of allegedly science-based atheism.
In reality, state leaders will become religious Gods as was the case with the Egyptian pharaohs and is the case with the current North Korean ruler. Already, we see 'serious' media treatment of Obama as a messianic God-like figure with a halo and who can do NO wrong and commit NO sin.
Once the state is the religion, the state will NOT tolerate Islam as a competitor. The state will conquer Islam quite easily because Muslims need to eat - and Muslims have few to no real contributions to offer other than violence.
