Out of curiosity, last night we checked our blog´s hit counts and we noticed that there were (still are) some countries which were not been added to the sum total, with Turkey topping the list. On the 24 h stats there were no bars for these countries. This was according to our Revolver Maps´ counts.
Nevertheless, the hit trail could still be seen flashing on the revolving globe. How odd!
Nevertheless, the hit trail could still be seen flashing on the revolving globe. How odd!
Here is the list of countries that had no 24h stats bars on our blog:
- Turkey
- Greece
- China
- Colombia
- Australia
- Iran
- Switzerland
From the list above, Turkey is known for having banned some social media early in 2014. Twitter was been banned communication in this country.
In Asia, China is another country where social media bans are common. Wikipedia has provided a list of websites blocked in China. View it here.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has also internet censorship.
Mark Humphrey´s Blog has listed the websites that are banned in Iran including his own:
You can test if any website is blocked in Iran in real-time. Go here.
Our blog (http://e-rastrillo.blogspot.com) is not blocked in Iran. Not yet.
As for Greece, we all know what recently went on there: Political turmoil. Right now, Greece still is a place to do heavy duty bargain hunting.
So anything can be expected out of Plato´s homeland.
As far as Colombia is concerned, experts say that this country is sadly a boiling pot of mafia and "white powder" juice.
We only hope one day good Colombian folks can go about carrying on their life without any fear coming from hidden crooks.
What can we say of Australia?
Although on some global corruption indexes, Australia comes out amongst the least corrupted, there is some information that tells the opposite.
The Aussies´ land is in the midst of a corruption epidemic in the Federal Government, according to some reports.
And finally, how about Switzerland?
In 2013, the OECD still regarded Switzerland as a "tax haven".
In other word, this Alpine country is a "beautiful garden above but a cemetery below", as expressed by some hunters of corrupted money.
Conclusion
Anyway, as far as the odd stats on our blog yesterday and today and maybe tomorrow, we do not give a fucking damn about it.
But one this is for sure:

But one this is for sure:
In
this world, nothing is what appears when they do not want you to see
what it is because they make it to appear what it seems it is but it is
not what it looks it is.
It is not surprinsing what this appears it is but it is not what it is.
