Dear Global Research Readers,

In the last few months we have been experiencing numerous slowdowns as well as periods during which the site has been inaccessible. 

This was largely due to an increasingly larger number of Global Research readers. Our existing server arrangement was not in a position to deal with the increased volume of traffic directed towards our site.

This problem has now been resolved. The new domain server arrangement is reliable and significantly faster in terms of download time. 

Happy browsing. We hope this new system will encourage our readers to browse through an archive of more than 25,000 articles, classified by author, country, theme.  

Four to Five times faster than Google.com

This new system went live at 10am this morning, October 23, 2010.

There may be a couple of short disruptions in the next 24 hours, during the period of transition. 

Thank you for your support in this endeavor. Our thanks to the technical support provided to Global Research.
