Wait ... is that just an editorial, making ridiculous claims?
Let's see:
"
At first, the distress flare of lost data came as a surge of defunct links on 21 January. The US National Strategy for the Arctic, the Implementation Plan for the Strategy, and the report on our progress all gone within a matter of minutes. As I watched more and more links turned red, I frantically combed the internet for archived versions of our country’s most important polar policies." (emphasis mine)
Well, here is the very first item cited as being deleted by the "journalist":
https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/sites/default/files/docs/nat_arctic_strategy.pdf
Here is the second item:
https://obamawhitehouse.archives.go...al_strategy_for_the_arctic_region_-_fi....pdf
And the third, and final, citation:
https://obamawhitehouse.archives.go...tional_strategy_for_the_arctic_region_....pdf
So, what the hell is this? Flat-out lying with the hope that no reader will bother to verify the claim? Maybe the author's IP service was down for maintenance, so everything was showing dead?
P.S. Anyone who has ever been in graduate school in any form of research knows data isn't stored on webpages. This whole suggestion is embarrassing. Literally Rush Limbaugh level crap.
