I hope this works, last night, from 10pm till 8am this morning, I could not access GN or anything else using any search engine. My computer kept telling me I had internet access, which I had because I checked. The strange thing was I could still send emails. I kept getting "this page cannot be displayed". I then went through every thing like firewalls and add ons and all the security I Have installed, still to no avail. This morning when I switched on it was all OK, I have since found out that Exercise Joint Warrior was in my area. and they have been, what I can only describe as "Getting at peoples computers" apparently they have the right to disrupt all media for training purposes. Have any GNetters especially on the west side of Scotland had any problems.

It is most annoying, it wouldn't of been so bad if I had know about it, as far as I know it goes on until the 17th of the month, they don't have to give any warning, and they can Hijack any system at will.

Many talk about conspiracy theories but this exercise details electronic warfare. Unfortunately many intrusions are undertaken into our live without any comeback. Clearly in the west of Scotland they stopped wi fi working. GCHQ already has the ability to gather and store all internet traffic. There are more CCTV cameras per head in this country then any other and we are told it's all for our good and protection. If we have a mobile phone they can track wherever we are in the country and world.. Big brother is coming.
