This is definitely a story I'm going to be following up on at my blog OMFGAK... I'm just throwing it out there NOW so ALL the progressive Alaskan bloggers are aware of it and can move quickly to expose this apparent cover-up in the making. I assert that as public records this action is an illegal one designed to destroy archival public information. It appears at this point that is exactly what they have done!
I'm hyperventilating... having a Maddow moment about this so somebody PLEASE "talk me down!" because this is serious shit. Try clicking on any bookmarks from her press releases. They all go to the root of the new governor's site. That's what is known as "scrubbing"... if we act quickly perhaps we can catch them in the act of this destruction through Google Cache browsing.

Update from Facebook:
(I) heart Google! You have to do a search on Alaska.gov with "Palin press releases" to find her old threats, vitriol and vendettas against progressive Alaskan bloggers who merely were exercising THEIR rights to FREE SPEECH. So perhaps a bit of a panic-y "chicken little" moment [on my part] but it still appears that some of the ones that are libelous and/or slanderous have been scrubbed from the site. All links on the main governor's website no longer link to the previous administration and instead plop you down at the main page. This is not right. I understand S. P. v. 2.0 wanting to make a clean break and a fresh start but to "deep six" official public documents and make them harder to find reeks of a cover-up in the making...

Good catch, Laz. She can't honestly believe that now that she's a "private citizen" people are going to forget all the bs she's tried to pull, can she?
ReplyDeleteSo, did you get screen captures?
ReplyDeletePlease do screen captures of the caches nonetheless. You can't trust her.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about getting riled up. We assume that others will "play fair". Unfortunately, again and again we find out they would rather follow the example of Lee Atwater et al. Always be vigilant.
ReplyDeleteDon't you want to help her progress Alaska into the future by inventing the past? Only those brave enough to envision the past as it never was can hope to inspire confidence in the future as it never will be!
ReplyDeleteThe way I see it, they are scrubbing the site of Palin's personal hate. They didn't remove all of the press releases, just the ones which show her anger and pettiness. Regardless of the fact that they can still be accessed by doing a specialized search, the fact remains they are deliberately making it harder to access official records and that is a blatant attempt to cover up what the previous administration did. It's wrong and needs to be addressed!
ReplyDeleteDon't let your anger go on this LAZ, this is wrong and your first reaction was the correct one!
In thinking about this, I have to wonder if perhaps these specific press releases are being scrubbed for a specific reason.
ReplyDeleteLike perhaps a potential lawsuit by someone who would be able to use those press releases to show a consistent pattern of behavior by the ex governor and her staff and the use of state resources to attack citizens?
I notice that some of these items are still available on the ex guv's facebook page (I've saved them all in case they vanish as well).
See the new post with a more in depth investigation... in the meantime save any documents you have in .PDF format if possible. This is only going to get uglier or they will attempt to explain it away as a simple mistake.

Don't forget, you always have this...
And if you don't get over to the http://twitter.com/AKGOVSarahPalin site to get a "picture" yourself, I have 23 screen captures dating from her goodbye back to the week before her quit speech.
And if anyone else hasn't read through those, they're quite revealing, in that they DO show that her quitting was not something that she'd been thinking on for some time...that it WAS sudden and hasty.
If the Twitter site disappears, I'll try to get the screen captures posted on my Photobucket site soon.
has she done the same with her dumass twitter posts ?
