I just clicked on it a few times:
[url=http://rabble.ca/babble/international-news-and-politics/united-states-at... States of Atrocity[/url]
... and each time, it opens a box inviting you to input a username and password for some site called "explorussia.com", under the heading of "Maintenance" or some such thing.
PLEASE let me know if you get the same phenomenon... otherwise, maybe it's my computer that's been hacked?? I have no such issue with other threads so far.

Wow.
What do you see when you look at post #64 in that thread? That's a photo from the explorussia.com site - it no longer shows up for me:

I do get it from that page on. Not at any other page on this site, or any other sites I've been consulting for work.
And whatever was at post 64 is a blank box. No other boxes blank.

I just checked the thread and it happened to me too. But only when I went to the page on the thread with post #64.
I'm on a Macbook Pro BTW, if that matters.

Let's ask the author of comment #64. What exactly did he post.

Yeah, kropotkin posted a photo from explorussia.com at #64, and if you google explorussia.com, you see a note below the first hit result saying, "This site may be hacked." So that's where the problem lies.
I'm going to PM kropotkin and the mods asking them to delete the photo at #64.

ok, it looks like the problem is fixed. Good work. I know I shoulda called it "The United States of ice cream, apple pie, fluffy white bunnies, and wise leaders".
mea culpa.

Yes, that was a close one. Good to know that the evil empire has been foiled again. Obama must be stamping his feet in anger right now.

I haven't done anything to it. I am grateful that CSIS could help us out by fixing the thread. If there was a problem it had to be either Chinese, Russian or Iranian in origin.

It was one of my favorite images of Russia. Young people sking and boarding in bikinis and bathing suits.
