Coincidence or....CONSPIRACY?
Hey all. Long time.
PIMC gone? This is a twist. Sounds like some tinfoil hat crap to cover the real reason: Joe Anybody was unable to get a real techie to help before the ancient code crashed beyond recovery.
Breakdown likely reasons for site disappearance:
80% : code/server failure/corruption
20% : legal/extra-legal actions against the site/host/administrators for the various conspiracy/tea party/anti government propaganda over the years.
In light of the January 6th attempt to overthrow the government(something the 9/11 Truther Foilhatters pushed for years), not a surprise someone in the right militia community is pissing their britches.Was it ....

In the comments Joe Anybody(who last we heard ran the site) tries to make excuses and is ratioed hard. Other members of Calvert's conspiracy group show up. It's a disaster.
Then some Truther Sleuther is saying all website who don't like their racist tinfoil crap are antifa websites, and to be fair they probably are. And some are really NWS about it
They (JA and truther buds) were upset with these links the most

No, Uninformed One; I referred to this website:
pdx911truthalliancedramatica.blogspot.com/You might claim that pdx911truthalliancedramatica.blogspot isn't an "official" Rose City Antifa website, but we all know that the Rose City Antifa works anonymousy, using pseudonyms on the Internet and wearing masks in public. The Rose City Antifa has many affiliated cohorts, allies, and websites. If it quacks like the Rose City Antifa, and swims with the Rose City Antifa, it is the Rose City Antifa.
If guilt by association applies to the Portland 9/11 Truth Alliance, it also applies to the Rose City Antifa.

3. Spreading general right wing hysteria while running a "left anarchist" indy wire? At the time everyone thought they were just being "radical". But now we know the website owner is a antisemite holocaust enabling fukk, things like using the platform to spread insane hysteria don't look so good in hindsight. Like the whole Portland is gonna be NUKED Captain May garbage that Theresa Mitchel endorsed and KBOO sponsored.
There's A LOT of evidence of KBOO sponsoring wack shady shit. If it could be traced to teaparty/patriot groups(hint: IT CAN) after Jan 6th that could be reason enough to nuke the site.
Another Twitter user remembers the Portland Nuke Hysteria:

Also wingnuts were legit SO convinced that Portland was going to be false flag nuked by the Bush admin (and later Obama). This shit continued for years. My mom, ever the wingnut, took my sisters out of school and fled w/ them into the woods over it.

Act Three: Heroic Helpers -- KBOO-FM and an Anonymous Official
The next day Portland's KBOO FM radio station continued the truth offensive. Its news analysis program Press Watch, hosted by Theresa Mitchel, carried an hour-long examination of Noble Resolve. Mitchel noted that the KBOO news department had just contacted the JFCOM public affairs office, which had informed the station that the Portland nuclear attack of Noble Resolve had been changed into a volcanic eruption instead. Mitchel said she doubted the new story, likely issued as a "public relations soother," and urged her listeners to monitor and discuss the upcoming exercise.

TM enthusiasically pushes this tinfoil garbage in the comments.
But this has been missed: it wasn't just TM cowboying with the KBOO name. Cap May felt comfortable contacting KBOO's news office emails:

Compliments to Theresa Mitchell 13.Aug.2007 14:06
Captain Eric H. May captainmay@prodigy.net link
Ms. Mitchell's note of analysis of the "red force" (OPFOR) possibilities of Noble Resolve is laudable. I hope she'll continue to monitor the exercise on her fine KBOO program, Presswatch, wich airs on Thursdays 9-10 a.m. It's heartening that KBOO is doing such fine work in these anxious times. I apologize for misspelling Ms. Mitchell's name (as "Mitchel") in my article above.
I recommend that all concerned citizens and interested researchers examine and consider joining the Portland Nuclear Inquest, moderated by and mostly made up of Portlanders:
ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/Portland-Nuclear-Inquest/Below I attach a message I sent the KBOO news department this morning. I urge all its listeners to generously support KBOO.
Best regards, CPTMAY

Hmmm.....
4. Or maybe it was docs about Theresa Mitchel bragging about harassing KBOO employee Lynn Fitch, stalking KBOO Contractor -- and doxing KBOO member KB.
Remember Mitchel, using docs obtained from Ani in her capacity as volunteer coordinator, bragged she was "proud " of her behavior at the time. Perhaps someone is digging around and she feels less proud. KBOO ought to feel down right mortified, but we all knows how that goes.
Lynn Fitch hysteria:

web.archive.org/web/20200919002702/http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2019/09/437799.shtmlCan't find the threads on doxxing KB. Maybe TM got Joe Anybody/Tabor to delete them after all.
So maybe Ruban, Danielle or the Investigator brought some action and it all lead to Tabor pulling the plug?
5. Or the general history of KBOO sponsoring loony tinfoil events, dating as far back as 2005 with the New Pearl Harbor/911 Alliance discussion group(s):web.archive.org/web/20170903220735/http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2005/05/318133.shtmlweb.archive.org/web/20170928180445/http://media.portland.indymedia.org/media/2005/05/318043.pdfOther evidence archived around the Web.
Its fair at this point to concede this tinfoil crap was allegedly for the anti war Bush crowd. At first. And the "radical" crowd gobbled it up

@rechelon
Ah yes, 2007... when 9/11 truthers were such a core part of The Left that Alex Jones getting arrested by the cops in NYC warranted a sympathetic feature post on local Indymedia in Portland.

Then Obama got elected, the fact it was all right wing propaganda became more obvious, and Tabor, TM, KBOO, indy failed to distance themselves or act like they had any braincells ...
All in all, one can see all sorts of reasons that Portland Indymedia became a liability than an asset. Killing it with fire, then blaming it on a gov conspiracy is on brand and the safest thing to do. Beats going to prison.
