It is ironic that my old hosting company shut me down on July 4th. After all, the goal of the INSURGENCY is to gain independence from the corrupt regime of India, Inc. and their collaborators and shills in corporate America, academia, politics, and the media.This was nothing more than a minor inconvenience and I was fully prepared for it. The blog was down for almost two days. No big deal.It
