Signs of the Totalitarian Times: National Security Archive @GWU Vanishes
Maintenance over the holidays... or harbinger? Went to look up "Litetempo" this morning in their docs to show a Mexican friend that during the 68 Olympics, when students were being massacred in the streets of Mexico City, the CIA aided and abetted the government and the secretary to the president was actually an on-payroll CIA operative. The nsarchive.gwu.edu page now redirects to GWU's home page. Google still indexes the page so I used their cache as link: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:LE-k1M5lRe8J:nsarchive.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB204/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us Their twitter account is still up, with a last tweet with link on Dec 23 that redirects to, again, GWU's home page.

this is very concerning on its face, but one more data point in favor of its being a temporary glitch is that I subscribe to their email list, and got an email from them this morning around 9am about additions to their end of the Soviet Union archive.although if one wanted to be paranoid, that is a more "interesting" subject these days than it was last year. - z On Sun, Dec 25, 2016 at 12:23 PM, Rayzer <Rayzer@riseup.net> wrote:

I'd like to think "Maintenance" as well. No indication on their twitter feed at all that anything was amiss and I got that newsletter. Their wordpress and FB page have no indication about a shutdown either... https://nsarchive.wordpress.com/ https://www.facebook.com/NSArchive Rr

They are still archived on https://archive.org Searching there without "http" returns some tarballs too.
update: they appear to be back online at their usual address: http://nsarchive.gwu.edu/ - z On Mon, Dec 26, 2016 at 2:41 AM, Georgi Guninski <guninski@guninski.com> wrote:
