Curiously disappearing Washington Post story about Podesta's art
Divorce Beltway Style Column: The Democratic breakup that exposes Washington’s rotten core has a story about Tony & Heather Podesta's divorce.
About a third of the way down , you can read this paragraph (note link for Katy Grannan).
They would visit their apartment in Venice, Italy, up to a dozen times a year, hosting Janet Napolitano, entertaining passersby such as Reps. Shelley Berkley and Eliot Engel, “even,” the Post once breathlessly intoned, “Teddy Kennedy.” They’d open their homes to tours, so people could enjoy the art, could witness the spectacle of their wealth. One story they liked to tell took place in 2004, when the guests at their northern Virginia home, near Lake Barcroft, walked into a bedroom festooned with the works of Katy Grannan, “ a photographer known for documentary-style pictures of naked teenagers in their parents’ suburban homes. ” The guests were shocked. But oh, how Tony and Heather laughed.

Does not stick. You get a very brief flash of it before it's forwarded to "Not Found."
Does anyone know how to "freeze" a page so that it doesn't forward? I'd like to read this article.
Thanks.

When the text loads, press ESC to stop the page from loading completely. It doesn't redirect you to the "not found" page if you do this. If ESC doesn't work in your browser, click the "stop" button (an X on most browsers) manually.

Thank you, as does the pagination. Appreciate it.

There was an alleged FBI anon conspiracy that FBI's tweet on nov 7th about stolen art was tied to this. The day before there was a tweet about missing kids.

My immediate impression is those aren't Tony's style. I think his wife said they mostly buy 40-50 pieces from the same 40-50 upcoming artists so that they're more likely to appreciate in value.

They even got google to remove the cached version which is highly irregular.
HERE IS A CAPTURE:

I see the page, and then something blocks it 1 second later. WTF?! I refresh and it keeps happening! great find, thanks for archive!

The thing is if the FBI or whoever are investigating this then they may block such stories for the sake of the investigation.

It's disgusting to see the elite cover each others asses on the issue of pedophilia. Child sex traffickers have no business running countries.

I can't even get Google to pull up a cached version. I wonder how long it's been like that.

Do this : Open internet explorer
Right click next to the help menu, just below the address bar
Customise>Show stop and refresh buttons below address bar
Enter address and when it is loaded push the stop button a few times.
This worked for me.

That 404 redirect is weird indeed. That's not the proper way to "censor" an article, too trivial to circumvent. These people are real imbeciles.

perhaps it's better than a circumvention, because they can then later just deny it as a coincidental technical faliure. Or perhaps they wanted to quietly hide (obstruct) it, without bringing it to some editorial council within the company. Could be a million reasons, if they're capable hiding for this long what is becoming clearer they have been doing, then they're not inbeciles. We just have to remain vigilant, make copies, e.t.c.

Check out this one from the guardian, 2004. Detailing their art "addiction" and underground vault.

I saw that. I was trying to figure out which property it is to look it up on Zillow. Nothing there for the DC property, but if we could get the VA address, there might be pics from being on the market.

I love how them deleting it literally only makes our spirit stronger. We have all of this archived every time they delete something it just tells me we are on to something.
