This is fascinating in retrospect. I wish I had more votes to give, to make it noticed.

This is an amazing find. Exactly what is happening.

CAN WE PLEASE STICKIE THIS TO THE FRONT PAGE?

Sorry for shouting. But this is insanely important for people to see.

OTOH I can't find any info on Harry Vox. Has he been scrubbed? Is this real?

ETA: On further digging have determined his name is Harry Stuckey. https://realitysandwich.com/56250/exile_nation_ch4_pt10/

Edit2: Highlighting how the link answers my own question of whether he was silenced:

Vox was certainly not the first person to mention the Bush family's relationship with the Hinckleys or the bin Ladens, just as Jim Hatfield was not the first to claim “W” had been busted for coke. Yet, the Feds reaction certainly indicates that something “Vox” said was of great concern to someone who wanted to shut him up, and who had the power to respond in this manner.

The raid and subsequent censorship of Vox's site was one of the first post-9/11 incidents that raised the key issues of freedom of speech and information, repeated patterns of deception by government and media, and the constitutionality of policing dissent within the new security paradigm.
