Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

First some major news agency falsely accused me of helping to fund an enemy of the state. Then my e-commerce hosting provider kicks me out and gives my domain name to a competitor.

The news publication has put me publicly in context with an organization I do not wish to be affiliated with, has damaged my employer, and my relationship with my employer.

Due the sudden removal of my site and assigning this (sub)domain to a competitor I've missed out on significant revenues and has further contributed to the confusion that was caused by the news agency.

I'm from abroad. Should I sue and what are my chances?

You are talking about a case of slander, then breach of agreements and business relationships, and resulting damages. Your burden of proof is to show the various defendants are legally liable for what they did. Your 'chances' depend entirely upon the admissible and credible evidence you have at trial, and what are their defenses [such as truth]. No attorney is going to guarantee you success. You are going to 'pay your money and take your chances' in litigation If serious about at least consulting with counsel to see if there is any real potential in your case, feel free to contact me.
