In the early afternoon of March 21, the servers for WorldTribune.com and Geostrategy-Direct.com went down. When it became clear that they would not be back up anytime soon, we immediately relocated to new dedicated servers. We were off the air for about 28 hours, which in the daily news business is much too long.

We would advise readers to refresh your bookmarks by going to our home page (www.worldtribune.com), click on your browser's refresh or reload button and then bookmark that location.

Geostrategy-Direct.com is back on the air with its third and best issue. The early response has been gratifying as this new cutting edge-intelligence bulletin is quickly establishing itself as a must-read weekly briefing.
