Almost 40 Percent of 2013 Web Pages have Disappeared’

Pew Research Center finds the internet is more temporary than many believe.

When Online Content Disappears

38% of webpages that existed in 2013 are no longer accessible a decade later

How we did this

The internet is an unimaginably vast repository of modern life, with hundreds of billions of indexed webpages. But even as users across the world rely on the web to access books, images, news articles and other resources, this content sometimes disappears from view.

A new Pew Research Center analysis shows just how fleeting online content actually is:

  • A quarter of all webpages that existed at one point between 2013 and 2023 are no longer accessible, as of October 2023. In most cases, this is because an individual page was deleted or removed on an otherwise functional website.
A line chart showing that 38% of webpages from 2013 are no longer accessible
  • For older content, this trend is even starker. Some 38% of webpages that existed in 2013 are not available today, compared with 8% of pages that existed in 2023.

This “digital decay” occurs in many different online spaces. We examined the links that appear on government and news websites, as well as in the “References” section of Wikipedia pages as of spring 2023. This analysis found that:

  • 23% of news webpages contain at least one broken link, as do 21% of webpages from government sites. News sites with a high level of site traffic and those with less are about equally likely to contain broken links. Local-level government webpages (those belonging to city governments) are especially likely to have broken links.
  • 54% of Wikipedia pages contain at least one link in their “References” section that points to a page that no longer exists.

To see how digital decay plays out on social media, we also collected a real-time sample of tweets during spring 2023 on the social media platform X (then known as Twitter) and followed them for three months. We found that:

  • Nearly one-in-five tweets are no longer publicly visible on the site just months after being posted. In 60% of these cases, the account that originally posted the tweet was made private, suspended or deleted entirely. In the other 40%, the account holder deleted the individual tweet, but the account itself still existed.
  • Certain types of tweets tend to go away more often than others. More than 40% of tweets written in Turkish or Arabic are no longer visible on the site within three months of being posted. And tweets from accounts with the default profile settings are especially likely to disappear from public view.

Hospital Data: Hospitals Treated more Vaxx Injuries than COVID Patients.

A journal article published October 5 documented how 3.8-times more Covid-vaccinated individuals were hospitalized due to the shot’s adverse events [AE] than non-vaccinated individuals were hospitalized due to Covid infection.

The paper, by Knapp, Karumanchi, Fee, Inslicht, and Bhargava, published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society (October-November 2024), reported that “Nearly 1.49% of respondents reported hospitalization after COVID-19, whereas 5.69% of the respondents reported hospitalization after vaccination.”

Survey Reveals Over One in Six Germans Report Side Effects from COVID-19 shots.

The data is piling up:

Nonetheless, the CDC recommends that all Americans receive their tenth Covid shot and that young children receive extra, while Canada recommends another Covid shot for the pregnant, indigenous, ‘racialized’ & ‘equity-deserving’.

When government reported there were no survivors from a Montana plane crash–but two people survived.

Kalispell, Montana. Sept. 23, 2004. When a plane crashed in the Mountains of the Great Bear Wilderness Area (south of Glacier National Park),

On Sept. 20, 2004, a flight carrying four Forest Service employees and a charter contractor pilot headed for the Schafer Meadows Guard Station in the Bob Marshall Wilderness in Montana. The plane crashed in the Great Bear Wilderness, Flathead National Forest, near Great Northern Mountain.

Government officials pronounced that there were no survivors 11 minutes after arriving at the crash site via helicopter. Officials called off all ground search and rescue, “even though experienced hikers in the area
were eager to help.” “One volunteer told the Associated Press that she and another person had organized a group to search for survivors, but their offer to help was declined: There were 100 people waiting in
Whitefish to do this. It’s possible we could have been very useful and saved some people some suffering.

Last night, we sat on the couch
and cried instead of being out hiking
and searching. And we just accepted
what we were told.

As with many mountain “search and rescue operations,” government officials took over a nearby trailhead and set up podiums for press conferences. Both the County sheriff and the US Forest Service pronounced the mountain off-limits to the public.

Two days later, two survivors–badly burned and injured–stumbled onto U.S. highway 2. According to the Spokesman Review. “They were spotted by a motorist on U.S. 2 who then went to a bar in the Essex area and asked the bartender to call for help.”

Survivor Jodee Hogg said he didn’t understand why they stopped looking even though there were two bodies clearly visible outside the plane, “you know, intact, and knowing that there were five people and
there were footprints all over the place in the snow.” “I guess I just wonder why – why we didn’t get
picked up on Tuesday. . .”


Astoundingly the US government did not even acknowledge any errors. The Forest Service press release suggested the County sheriff was to blame. “Originally no one was believed to have survived the crash, according to the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office.” The press release did not even mention that the government had closed the mountain to the public.

FEMA sets up “rumor control” operation to silence critics in wake of Hurricane Helene

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been besieged with complaints by whistleblowers who say the federal “emergency management” agency has sabotaged rescue and response efforts in North Carolina and Tennessee in the wake of the Hurricane Helene disaster.

Thousands are without power, water, food or other resources. But government agencies have been halting volunteer deliveries into the disaster areas and threatening to arrest volunteer rescuers.

The agencies have also banned private drones from the disaster regions.

Government threatens volunteer rescuers with arrest in aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

Just as in other recent natural disasters, volunteer rescuers are now being threatened with arrest by government officials.

Volunteer pilot Jordan Seidhom recently engaged in life-saving rescue missions for stranded families in the wake of devastating floods in the North Carolina mountains.

Seidhom rescued a number of stranded victims of the disaster. On one occasion, Seidhom thought the pavement where he landed his helicopter was a little unstable. So Seidhom opted to leave his copilot son at the rescue scene and fly the stranded victims to medical treatment areas one at a time.

But when the helicopter pilot landed at a safe area, he was confronted by a powermad government official. The official threatened him with arrest if he continued rescuing people.

“I explained to him that I left my son on the side of the mountain, and I left another victim. I was going to go back and bring them, it was already set up for the landing spot and then I would get out of his area. He told me I wasn’t going to go back up the mountain to get them, I was going to leave them there.”

“I’m going back and getting my copilot. ‘If you turn around and go back up the mountain, you’re going to be arrested.’ I said, ‘Well, sir, I’m going back to get my copilot, I don’t know what to tell you.’”

The censorship industrial complex is now truly global.

Paris. Aug. 26.

Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, remains in a Paris jail cell as of Monday morning. Durov was arrested Friday “as part of an investigation into Telegram’s lack of content moderation and the platform’s role in allegedly enabling criminal activity, according to the Washington Post.” Durov previously fled Russia in 2014 after refusing to hand over data on Ukrainian users on requested by the Russian government. Durov now lives in Dubai, where Telegram is based, and has dual French and United Arab Emirates citizenship.

Governments around the world are hunting, jailing, and persecuting companies which allow free speech. Previously, this censorship was mostly isolated in socialist regimes such as China and North Korea; or focused on individual journalists. But now governments appear to be seeking to scuttle entire social media platforms.

Elon Musk’s X recently pulled out of Brazil. All X employees have fled the anti-free-speech regime.

The goal of censoring and silencing dissent (masquerading as a crackdown on “hate,” “misinformation,” or whatever) seems to be gaining momentum even among Americans. Especially those affiliated with the Democratic Party. Recently the Democratic Party’s nominee for Vice President, Tim Walz, made remarks supporting increased censorship.

French government arrests CEO of Telegram for refusing to censor.

Paris. August 24, 2024. Pavel Durov, the Russian-born billionaire founder and owner of the Telegram messaging app, was arrested at Le Bourget airport outside Paris shortly after landing on a private jet late on Saturday. Reuters reports that “BFM and TF1 said that Durov, who has dual French and United Arab Emirates citizenship, was arrested as part of a preliminary police investigation into allowing possible criminality due to a lack of moderators on Telegram and a lack of cooperation with police.

The Drudge Report (an obvious CIA organ since at least Fall of 2018), provided the globalist take at the top of its page on August 25, 2024:

Thus the intelligence community and global elites are seeking to paint Durov’s arrest as a “terrorism, narcotic supply, fraud,” and “money laundering” arrest. Drudge Report links to a story in the Jerusalem Post.

The U.S. government previously obtained a life prison term for Ross Ulbricht, who founded a similarly open and free internet platform in the early 2000s. The US government also recently ordered the extradition of New Zealand internet freedom advocate Kim Dotcom, for “copyright violations.”

In a recent Tucker Carlson interview, Durov said that he had been hounded and harassed by FBI agents and the US government for years. Durov said that the FBI tried to hire a telegram employee to secretly put a backdoor into the system to circumvent Telegram’s encryption.

Libertarian blogger and podcaster Clint Russell suggested that French authorities may be doing the bidding of the U.S. government.

Global journalists are reading from a coordinated climate terror script generated from Columbia University

Columbia University is considered number one in the ranks of US journalism schools. Many of the most prominent news reporters attended Columbia.

Now there is evidence that the Columbia School of Journalism is coordinating climate terror news narratives that are planted into news stories worldwide. Millions of dollars in grants from Bill Gates and other pro-government extremists promote the project. “They are collaborating, they are conspiring — both in the open and behind closed doors.” See here.  

Columbia’s guidelines tell journalists to put scary words such as “dangerous,” “deadly,” and “crisis” in their stories about the weather. Columbia even writes sentences and even entire paragraphs for reporters to place in their weather and news reports.

The Columbia project urges reporters to not let readers think that it is hot because it is summer.  A link to CO2 and fossil fuels must be placed into every weather report.

Reporters are urged to illustrate their stories with images of struggle:

“Choose visuals carefully. While it may be tempting to make light of heat by using “fun in the sun” photos, such as people eating ice cream or crowded pools, it’s more accurate to use images that reflect the seriousness of the situation. Opt for photos that show people struggling with heat (like crowded cooling centers or workers struggling under heat conditions) or signage warning of high temperatures.”

The project is called “Covering Climate Now.”

“Liberal” Pacific States have the most homeless

Noted pro-government “liberal” writer Nicholas Kristoff recently authored an interesting column in the New York Times, “What have we liberals done to the West Coast?”

Kristoff worries that pro-government “liberal” policies have made many social problems worse.

“The basic reason for homelessness on the West Coast,” concedes Kristoff, “is an enormous shortage of housing that drives up rents. California lacks about three million housing units, in part because it’s difficult to get permission to build.”

This, of course, is because California (and Oregon and Washington) impose too many regulations, barriers, and obstacles to the construction of new housing.

Government trusters like Kristoff have spent years advocating for government housing projects. But “[p]ublic sector efforts to build housing are often ruinously expensive, with “affordable housing” sometimes costing more than $1 million per unit.”

Lysander Spooner University extends 500 dollar bet to the founder of Extinction Rebellion

We are betting that 12 percent of Phoenix will NOT DIE from climate by 2040.

              By Dr. Roger Roots, J.D., Ph.D.

We are extending our offers regarding climate change bets.  I have long had an open FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR bet offered to anyone regarding the government’s prediction (still published in the movie shown to thousands at the St. Mary Visitor Center) that the glaciers at Glacier National Park will all be gone by “2030.”

We have also extended a bet regarding another ‘climate’ related claim–widely published on X–that rhinos, orangutans, cheetahs and blue whales will be extinct by May 3, 2034. See here.

Additionally, I have a friendly bet with my friend Ted Kocienzski III of Minnesota that by the end of harvest 2028), major U.S. commodity crops will produce yields no lower than 10 years earlier. The US government–in it’s 2018 “Climate Assessment”–predicted crops would decline due to “climate change” within a decade.

(If, in 2028, any major crop yield is lower than in 2018, Roots will buy Kocienzski dinner and a bottle of wine. If, on the other hand, all major U.S. commodity crop yields are no lower than they are in 2018, Kocienzski will buy Roots dinner and a bottle of wine.

THE NEW BET OFFER:

On May 30, 2024, Extinction Rebellion and Just-Stop-Oil founder Roger Hallam made a startling prediction on ‘X.’ Hallam predicted the following:

“12 per cent of the population of Phoenix, Arizona will die of extreme heat in the 2030s.” See here.

Hallam calculated that “climate” will kill 180,000 Phoenix residents during the 2030s. “Phoenix will experience social collapse at some point in the 2030s, along with the rest of the world’s cities in the new death zones of the planet.”

Another website, Manifold Markets, has already pegged Hallam’s prediction as outrageous, posting its own wager regarding the claim.

I Roger Roots, posted my $500 bet offer on Hallam’s X feed immediately after Hallam made his 12%-dead prediction. We will see if Hallam takes me up on the bet.
