I switched my browser to Waterfox from Firefox and it is using a different DNS server.
It's cloudflare or some other intermediary doing this.
I HATE CAPTCHAS.

I'll adjust my settings. I might have to back off to Firefox or Safari..

UPDATE: Switching back to Firefox cleared it up. Waterfox has more security, and cloudflare OF COURSE objects. For the good that cloudflare does, it curses us with captchas.

As of today, ONLY archive sites pull this stunt. A whole raft of others do not.
