Front Page Magazine interviewed Dave Gaubatz:

Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Dave Gaubatz, the first U.S. civilian (1811) Federal Agent deployed to Iraq in 2003. He is the owner of DG Counter-terrorism Publishing. He is currently conducting a 50 State Counter-terrorism Research Tour (CTRT). He is the co-author (with Paul Sperry) of the new book, Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that’s Conspiring to Islamize America. He can be contacted at davegaubatz@gmail.com and his site is MuslimMafiaInternational.com.

FP: Dave Gaubatz, welcome to Frontpage Interview.

I would like to talk to you today about jihadi torture videos that have come into your possession and also about Islam’s child martyrs in America.

But first, give us some updates on your new research in terms of counter-terrorism.

Gaubatz: Thank you Jamie.

I just returned from DC, MD, PA, WV, VA, and NJ conducting various counter-terrorism (CT) research. I would like to say that while various realms of our government are doing an outstanding job in protecting our families from future Islamic based terrorist attacks, we have several serious problems. One of them is that our President doesn’t even officially have any type of plans on a “War on Terrorism.” Sadly, we are being overtaken by these groups. I meet Americans and other concerned citizens from Canada and the UK, and they know America and their countries are slowly/patiently being overtaken from within, while their leaders are ignoring the national threats.

FP: Give us some specifics on what you have recently discovered.

Gaubatz: I am beginning to see more and more violent material published and distributed to young Muslim children advocating killing Jews and Christians, and how to conduct treason/sedition inside America and to ultimately take our country down as we know it.

CAIR (Muslim Brotherhood) strongly informs its followers to not assist our law enforcement agencies and to not conduct slander and backbiting against Islamic leaders. Within Sharia law there are severe penalties for undermining the efforts of the ‘Islamic Ummah’ (Nation) and their specific target of a worldwide Ummah under Sharia law.

I have been provided hundreds of DVD’s originally videotaped by Islamic terrorist groups while they conducted torture and killings of people (even Muslims) who have helped their enemies (Israel, America, UK, Canada, etc…) to further (in their opinion) oppress the Muslim Ummah.

Long time Jawa readers are well aware of the brutality of terrorists and the propaganda they spread.

Stretching from Egypt to Yemen, Iran and Pakistan, General David H. Petraeus commands the most challenging area of responsibility in the war against terrorism. In addition to deterring non-state aggressors, he also oversees the ongoing conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

On Friday morning, January 22nd, the Institute for the Study of War held an on-the-record conversation with General Petraeus hosted by ISW President, Dr. Kimberly Kagan. General Petraeus discussed his competing regional priorities at U.S. Central Command and offered a strategic overview of his AOR, explaining the dynamic effect it has on American national security.

Infosec has an interview with th3j35t3r (The Jester), who has been busy attacking websites that support, recruit, and fund terrrorists. Is Jester doing more harm than good?

Q: Critics say you do more harm than good – your reply?

Some critics have said that I will only drive them underground, Well is that not the best thing to do for recruiters?

If you take the position that online jihadi propaganda, proselytization, and interaction is increasingly important in jihadi recruitment, then why is it bad to drive them back into the shadows online? That’s a key principle of COIN.

Underground they can’t reach the masses; therefore they are less effective at recruiting. An underground recruiter is less dangerous than an overground one.

As for me, I have mixed feelings about the matter. And for OpSec reasons I don't wish to air those feelings publicly.

But I would be interested in your thoughts.

Iraqi and US forces dealt al Qaeda in Iraq a major blow last week during a raid in Mosul that killed the terror group's top facilitator, who was based out of Syria.

The joint US and Iraqi special operations team killed Abu Khalaf, al Qaeda in Iraq's senior most foreign fighter facilitator, during an operation on Jan. 22. Khalaf was killed after he "attacked a security-team member participating in a warranted operation," a US Forces- Iraq press release stated.

The US military said Khalaf's identity was confirmed using "multiple sources, including fingerprint matches."

Khalaf, whose real name is Sa'ad Uwayyid 'Ubayd Mu'jil al Shammari, was placed on the US Treasury Department's terrorist sanctions list in May 2009 and was identified as al Qaeda in Iraq's top facilitator, who operated from Syria. more

From the Congressional testimony of Steve Coll, some words of wisdom:

Al Qaeda has also evolved in recent years into a less corporal shape. There are many Islamist organizations with connections to violence that espouse ideas and war-fighting narratives similar to Al Qaeda’s, and that distribute and debate those ideas on the internet. And yet Al Qaeda can still claim distinction as an ideology or brand because of its specific critique of the West, its record of spectacular attacks, and the particular call to action it continues to issue through innovative media operations. As the case of the alleged attacker of Flight 253 last year illustrated, Al Qaeda has evolved into an Internet-enabled direct marketing organization in which suicide bombing recruits may never meet leaders of the central organization, and may be recruited in any number of settings (as long as physical contact is possible in order to build sufficient trust).

Al Qaeda’s architecture remains both geographical—havens remain necessary for it to attract, train and dispatch attackers—and also virtual, in the sense that the Internet can provide one of the means by which recruits are drawn to the havens. (There is little evidence of Internet-only conspiracies—where this pattern has surfaced, it has been marked by the conspirators’ failures.)

However, one need look no farther than Fort Hood killer Nidal Hasan to see that inspiration --- without physical contact in meat space and without any training whatsoever -- is sufficient to cause mass casualties.

More words of wisdom:

Al Qaeda’s media and internet adoption and adaptation has been one of its hallmarks since the 1990s—it was by email that the future suicide pilots of the 9/11 conspiracy first made their way to Afghanistan. Since then, as digital technology has become much more distributed, varied and sophisticated, this pattern of preaching, volunteerism and recruitment has intensified.

New Jersey - Somerset County investigators In New Jersey seized a cache of weapons including a grenade launcher and hundreds of rounds of ammunition today from the Branchburg motel room of a Virginia man, who also had maps of a U.S. military facility and an out-of-state civilian community.

Authorities have not released details of what the man was planning, but from this report, it appears they may have prevented something catastrophic from taking place

Other entities involved in the case now include the FBI, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives — both part of the federal Joint Terrorism Task Force, as well as the New Jersey equivalent of that task force, Forrest said.

UPDATE: Thanks to Billy in comments. NJ has lastest update on Woodson (9:45pm) Authorities are unsure if he was from NJ or just passing through. He deserted from the Navy after serving one year. 8 yrs later they caught up with him and he was discharged a month later.

We reported on this drone strike after it happened over the weekend... well it seems that strike also killed one of the FBI's most wanted terrorists.

A CIA-operated drone strike on a suspected militant hideout last weekend killed one of FBI's most-wanted terrorists who had been involved in 1986 hijacking of an U.S. airline, a senior Pakistani offical said.

Jamal Saeed Abdul Rahim, a Jordanian of Palestinian origin who had a bounty of $5 million on his head, was killed in the strike in North Waziristan on Sunday, along with another Jordanian who was identified as Mahmoud Zaydan, the official said.

Mr. Rahim was released from a Pakistani prison a few years ago after a conviction for his role in the Sept. 5, 1986, hijacking of Pan American World Airways Flight 73, in which the hijackers demanded 1,500 prisoners in Cyprus and Israel be released. Twenty people, including two Americans, were killed during the hijacking.

CTV Olympics

The U.S. government is advising American sports fans travelling to Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympics to watch out for al-Qaeda and other extremists, terrorists[FTFY...ed] especially on transit and in restaurants, churches and other areas outside official venues.

"Al-Qaeda's demonstrated capability to carry out sophisticated attacks against sizable structures - such as ships, large office buildings, embassies and hotels - makes it one of the greatest potential threats to the Olympics," the U.S. State Department said in a fact sheet on the Games posted on its website.

No specific credible threats have been identified, the U.S. government said. However, Americans planning to attend Olympic events or participate in large-scale public gatherings during the Winter Games should use caution and be alert to their surroundings, the advisory said.

Americans are advised to be especially alert when outside Olympic venues. "As security increases in and around Olympic venues, terrorists could shift their focus to more unprotected Olympic venues, open spaces, hotels, railway and other transportation systems, churches, restaurants and other sites not associated with the Olympics."[...]

A spokesman for the U.S. Consulate General in Vancouver said the U.S. State Department advisory was posted within the past six weeks, but could not immediately confirm the date.[Sounds familiar...ed]

Seriously, if going, be careful.

CagePrisoners.com is one of those "human rights" organizations which is really a front for radical Islam. In the past they've called for the release of such illustrious figures as 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shiekh Mohammad. Their stated goal is opposition to the "unjust" imprisonment of those at Guantanamo Bay.

Now that Gitmo's closing, do you really think they'll claim victory and move on? Not likely. Not until the flag of Islam flies over Downing Street and 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Here's David Toube, who writes for Harry's Place, courageously taking on the group.

I'll note that the YouTube poster calls David "Islamophobic" and the audience calls him a fascist. This from a group of people who believe that terrorism is justified "resistance" to, um, whatever. Also note how Iranian state TV is there.

Also, the group once invited Anwar al-Awlaki to speak in the UK. This would be the same Anwar al-Awlaki who inspired the Fort Hood massacre and the Christmas Day underwear bomb plot. Yeah, David is the fascist.

Thanks to Jennifer.

Al Qaeda is really taking a beating among its leadership along the Af/Pak border.. ...with anotherdeath announcement.

The Al Fallujah and Shamukh al Islam forums announced the “martyrdom” of Mahmud Mahdi Zeidan on January 10, whose nome de guerre was Mansur al Shami, SITE reported. “The martyrdom of Mahmud Mahdi Zeidan... on the soil of Pakistan, the land of the diligent and of the mujahedeen is confirmed,” it reported. SITE did not specify which drone strike the Jordanian was killed in. Pakistani officials said last week that 13 militants were killed in two US drone strikes in Waziristan, of whom four were foreign. Zeidan had most recently appeared on January 4 in a recording by As-Sahab – a website frequently used by Al Qaeda – giving a sermon, the US monitoring group said.

The National

The last time the family heard from Zeidan was 11 days ago, when he called one of his wife’s brothers, to check on them. Each time he called, his father said, he always asked for martyrdom.

The Obama administration's effort to address the intelligence mistakes that allowed a bomber to board a Christmas flight to Detroit contained a few intelligence mistakes of its own.

In the message sent by Blair to intelligence employees on Thursday in response to the White House review, the second paragraph refers to the flight Abdulmutallab took to Detroit on Christmas Day.

"That Mr. Abdulmutallab boarded Northwest Flight 153 for Detroit," said the message, "was a failure of the counterterrorism system."

Abdulmutallab was aboard Northwest Flight 253, not 153. The passage with the wrong number can be seen above. (The version available to the public on-line has since been updated with the right number.)

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia -- Slovak officials on Wednesday blamed "a silly and unprofessional mistake" for a failed airport security test that led to a man unwittingly carrying hidden explosives in his bag aboard a flight to Dublin.

Dublin security chiefs said it was foolish for the Slovaks to hide bomb parts in the luggage of innocent passengers under any circumstances.

Slovak Interior Minister Robert Kalinak expressed "profound regret" to the Irish government for the oversight and the three-day delay in alerting Irish authorities about the Saturday incident.

Got arrested at the Seattle airport for refusing to say how much money I make. (The uniformed ones say I was not "arrested", but they definitely handcuffed me.) Their videos and audios should show that I was polite, but simply refused questions that had nothing to do with national security. Port authority police eve...eventually came -- they were professionals -- and rescued me from the border bullies.

Instead of going after those that are suspected terrorists, this happens? I was reading a post at JWF, where Joan Rivers was booted from a flight from Newark bound flight to Costa Rica because of the the two names on her passport:

When they handcuffed me, I said that no country has ever treated me so badly. Not China. Not Vietnam. Not Afghanistan. Definitely not Singapore or India or Nepal or Germany, not Brunei, not Indonesia, or Malaysia, or Kuwait or Qatar or United Arab Emirates. No county has treated me with the disrespect that can be expected from our border bullies

Could be something or could be nothing...multiple drones involved usually means they wanted to kill someone important .

MIRAMSHAH: Five people, three of them Arabs, were killed when a drone fired two missiles on a house in Mosaki village of North Waziristan on Sunday night, official sources said.

According to local people, the unmanned aircraft attacked the residential compound of Jehan Roze in Mosaki village of Mirali tehsil, destroying its guesthouse.

An official said that three Arabs were among the dead, besides Jehan Rozes son Sadiq Noor and grandson Wajid.

Local people reported seeing four planes hovering over the area when the missiles hit the house.

US drones have carried out two attacks in the area since Friday.

AFP adds: “There may have been an important figure hiding in the house,” a security official in Miramshah said.

“Five militants have been killed … Two are local and three are foreigners. One among the foreigners is an Arab,” the security official said.

How, pray tell, did they get a hold of security scanners?

Via Radio Netherlands

A body scanner at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport would not necessarily have detected the explosives which the would-be syringe bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had sewn into his underwear. A Dutch military intelligence source told De Telegraaf newspaper that Al Qaeda has its own security scanners and has been practicing ways of concealing explosives.

The terrorist group has even carried out test runs at smuggling explosives through European airports, the paper reports.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 79% of U.S. voters now think it is likely there will be another terrorist attack in the United States in the next year. That’s a 30-point jump from the end of August when just 49% of Americans felt that way. The current level of concern is even higher than it was in the summer of 2007 when 70% considered an attack likely. In December 2008, 58% said an attack was likely.

The new number includes 42% who say another terrorist attack in America is very likely within the next year[...]

Republicans are more worried about another terrorist attack in the near future than are Democrats and voters not affiliated with either party. The Political Class is much less fearful than Mainstream voters.

A lot of voters, however, are definitely following news reports about the terrorist attempt to blow up an airliner at it was landing in Detroit. Eighty-three percent (83%) say they are following those news reports at least somewhat closely, including 44% who are following very closely. Just 15% are not following news about the terrorist incident very closely or at all.

BTW, word is two alQaeda leaders behind the foiled crusty scotum jihadi airline splode plot were released from GITMO to the Saudi's for art therapy rehabilitation program. Of course this is news because they were released by Bush in 2007. It's Bushcheneyhalliburton's fault dontcha know? Obambi inherited everything from Booooosh.

White House sources tell ABC News the President will "likely" speak publicly about the alleged attempted terrorist attack on Flight 253 in the next few days. The President is on vacation in his native state of Hawaii

No sense interfering with the ones vacation, Janet Napolitano has it all under control as she stated "The System worked", whatever the shite that is suppose to mean.

This is so nukin futz..., the only thing positive that happened in all of this is that the failed martyr wanna be burned his nutz.

Update: We have a poet in our midst:

Papa Whiskey
High office has plenty of perks
Like announcing that "The system works!"
But the bomb on that flight
Has brought it to light
That the system's in fact led by JERKS

KAILUA, HAWAII -- President Obama has performed a difficult but familiar balancing act over the past few days: ordering new security measures in the wake of an attempted airliner attack without excessively alarming the public -- or triggering an outcry from civil liberties advocates.

He has done so almost entirely out of sight. On vacation in Hawaii, tucked away in a lush neighborhood where his family is renting a waterfront home, Obama dispatched surrogates back in Washington -- chiefly Homeland Security Secretary Janet A. Napolitano and press secretary Robert Gibbs, who appeared on the Sunday talk shows -- to reassure the public and explain his approach.

Yet even as the president avoided cameras and played golf and basketball over the weekend, his aides were quick to explain how fully Obama minded the aftermath of the Detroit case. He was briefed shortly after 6 a.m. on Sunday about the latest developments in the Christmas Day incident, aides said. After another airplane security breach occurred three hours later, his advisers quickly issued a statement on his behalf, even though that episode turned out to be a misunderstanding.

The Jaish Rijal al-Tariq al-Naqshabandi -- usually called the Naqushabandi Sufi Army -- has been designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S. Treasury. As of this morning, their U.S. based website was also offline.

Good news indeed. These self-proclaimed "Sufi" Muslims killed many Americans and many more Iraqis. It's not clear how religious they were, though. One video they released showed children at a Sufi mosque being indoctrinated by them against the Great Satan, but all other indications are that they are mainly former Baathists and were acting on behalf of Syria in Iraq. Their training bases were also said to be in Syria.

The FTO designation means that any U.S. based website offering any services to the group are now breaking the law.

TREASURY DESIGNATES INSURGENT GROUP FOR

POSING THREAT TO STABILITY IN IRAQ

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of the Treasury today designated the Iraq-based insurgent group Jaysh Rijal al-Tariq al-Naqshabandi (JRTN) for threatening the peace and stabilization efforts in Iraq. JRTN has committed, directed, supported, or posed a significant risk of committing acts of violence against Coalition and Iraqi Security Forces and is being designated today pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13438, which targets insurgent and militia groups and their supporters. Today’s designation freezes any assets that JRTN may have under U.S. jurisdiction and prohibits U.S. persons from conducting financial or commercial transactions with the entity. The U.S. Government has no information indicating any tie between JRTN and the Naqshabandi Sufi order of Islam.

“Today’s designation is an important step in protecting Coalition troops, Iraqi Security Forces, and innocent Iraqis from insurgent groups like JRTN that use violence to undermine Iraq’s progress toward a more democratic and prosperous future,”‪ said Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Stuart Levey.‪

JRTN has conducted attacks against Coalition Forces in Iraq since April 2009, including the August RKG-3 (armor-penetrating grenade) attack against a Coalition Forces convoy in Hawijah, Iraq. Subsequently, a JRTN cell operating in Kirkuk, Iraq, fired rockets at the Kirkuk Regional Air Base in two separate attacks. As of mid-2009, JRTN planned to conduct attacks against Coalition and Iraqi Security Forces and intended to overthrow the Government of Iraq and reinstate Ba’ath Party rule. In mid-July, JRTN members were responsible for an improvised explosive device (IED) attack on Coalition Forces near an Iraqi police station in Salah ad Din Governorate, Iraq. Later that month, JRTN detonated an IED targeting Coalition Forces in Kirkuk and in August, conducted an indirect fire attack on Joint Security Station McHenry in Kirkuk.

In December 2008, a JRTN member operating in Kirkuk purchased three Katyusha rockets and an undetermined number of magnetic improvised explosive devices that were intended to be used in attacks against Kirkuk Regional Air Base, Iraqi police or Government of Iraq officials. JRTN’s Abu Ghurayb Brigade also targeted Coalition Forces stationed at or around Baghdad International Airport.

Web postings made by JRTN further demonstrate that the group conducted attacks against Coalition Forces. In a statement on the al-Mindar Network’s website in May 2009, JRTN claimed to have conducted three separate attacks against Coalition Forces, including a May attack that destroyed a U.S. Humvee in Anbar Province, Iraq; an April 2009 sniper attack against a U.S. soldier in al-Ta’mim Province, Iraq; and the destruction of a U.S. vehicle in Anbar Province in April. In a separate instance, in August, JRTN posted a video of a military vehicle being hit by powerful explosion to the JRTN website, www.alnakshabandia-army.com.

What I find really disturbing at the end is Youtube's claim that "users police the site" while they routinely ignore user complaints. Also that there is no pro-active way to fight even the propaganda from specially designated terrorist entities. These are very easy to identify and flag. Should be just as easy to remove.

Next disturbing thing is that Obama's Secretary for Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, basically throws up her hands and says, "There is no magic bullet".

Look Janet, three girls and a few of us guys can create Youtube Smackdown and remove tens of thousands of Jihadi videos from Youtube.

A few Jawas writing emails can make a substantial dent in the amount of Taliban releases.

And we're just targeting the most obvious terrorist propaganda on the most visible platforms.

If Jihadtube and homeland security have lost hope and are looking for a magic bullet, we have one. Hire about half a dozen of us and let us work.

Our biggest challenge, frankly, is not identifying who is doing what online, but in our assessment of who is, or who will become, a threat.

Ah noe ah iz stubrn.

Update: So I linked the counter take down opinion above. Gerald at Internet Anthropologist presents the take down argument here.

The more sites you have the more Intel to be collected.
And the more recruiting and members they get.
This paradigm increases terrorist growth.

Shutting down sites prevents recruiting,
decreasing terrorist growth.

Evan Kohlmann seems to be presenting the Intelligence communitys view of the Paradigm to track the wana be terrorists, but there is needed a balance between tracking the recruiting and stopping the recruiting.

A commander in al Qaeda's military organization was among 17 Islamist extremists killed during today's strikes in the Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan in Pakistan.

Zuhaib al Zahibi, a commander in al Qaeda's Shadow Army, or the Lashkar al Zil, was among seven Arab "foreigners" and nine Taliban fighters killed in one of two airstrikes in the Datta Khel region in North Waziristan, a senior US military intelligence official told The Long War Journal. Two other Taliban fighters were also killed in an earlier, separate strike in the Datta Khel region.

Beings I was outed by Rusty as Ansar007 on al Mosul I would like to translate this new message from Zawahiri's old lady "Omayma Hassan Ahmed Mohammed Hassan" to the Muslima:

Sisters, is your sex life as terrible as mine? Do you find your husband prefers a goat to you? Do you wake up some days finding your husband has sploded himself or plans to? Do you secretly wish you could castrate him if only you could do it without having to use a magnifying glass?

Join me in planning the demise of our mujihadeen husbands. Send me a email and I will give you the details. My email is OHAMH@yahoo.com(the brothers have hacked this account) mrszawhiri@ymail.com

Rusty asks as we stare at this article in the Washington Times.

Extremists prefer file-hosting services over P2P, according to a recent article in Sentinel - the journal of the Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y.

When new statements, videos or audios are released by a terror group, the article said, they are uploaded to be stored on multiple file-hosting services, creating dozens or even hundreds of ways to access them on the Internet.

Extremists then post links to these pages on special password-protected chat rooms so others can download the videos or other material.

See this example below from the new Zawahiri message.

So this gets the release out. It used to be much more effective. Starting a couple of years ago the file sharing services increased policing of these files and someone (or group) I like to call the Mad Flagger started PWN ing the links almost as fast as they went up. So now the Cyber Jihad is constantly searching for new file sharing hosts that will allow them or have looser TOS.

Then at this point a lose network of sympathetic supporters, think Global Islamic Media Front and other forums as well as lone users take these files and spread them from Forum to Forum and upload them to more popular sites like Youtube or Liveleak. See here.

That's how the propaganda is spread to a wider and wider audience. If the more popular sites were half as vigilant as some of the file sharing sites it would make a big dent in the amount of terrorist propaganda easily available.

The point being that while a hard core Jihadist will probably always find a way to get his propaganda, he's dedicated you know. Its those new recruits, the young whom the terrorists want to radicalize who are most affected by these files on popular platforms.

If you doubt this can be done, you just need to read this post. After a recent Jawa campaign against the Taliban propaganda machine there was a measurable decline in available Taliban releases.

The NEFA Foundation has released a new chart by NEFA Senior Investigator Evan Kohlmann titled, "Charting the Ongoing Drought in Taliban Media." The chart helps illustrate how, over the past few weeks, the number of daily communiqués and statements issued online by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (the Taliban) has been dramatically curtailed without any explanation from the Taliban.

If a few of us goofing around in our spare time can measurably thwart the Taliban's online media wing, just think what could be done by a sustained organized effort by corporations and the US depts of State and Treasury who are in charge of enforcing the OFAC regulations with regard to terrorist entities.

And lets win the damned thing. Word on the Jihadi boards is that that Taliban are about to release a propaganda video of one of our captured fighting men. Using him in such a manner is a direct violation of the rules of war the left always seems to go on about the US violating.

Shockingly enough in the New York Times:

Let’s not fool ourselves. Whatever threat the real Afghanistan poses to U.S. national security, the “Virtual Afghanistan” now poses just as big a threat. The Virtual Afghanistan is the network of hundreds of jihadist Web sites that inspire, train, educate and recruit young Muslims to engage in jihad against America and the West. Whatever surge we do in the real Afghanistan has no chance of being a self-sustaining success, unless there is a parallel surge — by Arab and Muslim political and religious leaders — against those who promote violent jihadism on the ground in Muslim lands and online in the Virtual Afghanistan.

The Obama team is fond of citing how many “allies” we have in the Afghan coalition. Sorry, but we don’t need more NATO allies to kill more Taliban and Al Qaeda. We need more Arab and Muslim allies to kill their extremist ideas, which, thanks to the Virtual Afghanistan, are now being spread farther than ever before.

Well, yes, they need to help. But we also need to fight against the Cyber Jihad as ourselves as part of our defense.

There is no nation better equipped or with more talent for this fight than the good old USA of A. If we put our minds to it we can counter this easily.

After working on it of years and years I realize somewhat just how far up the Jihadis' ass our internet spies are. They should be really worried because if we really really set our minds to a concerted effort to fight the presence of terrorists on the internet we would win hands down in a humiliating defeat to our enemies.

But first you have to fight.

Sure they would hang around a bit, there might always be some presence. But the question of who owns who in the web would be obvious. PDQ.

Its frustrating, but I'm glad that after following this subject for years and years its finally starting to get the attention it deserves.

Now if we can just get everyone else to realize the gravity of this (yes I'm looking at you Jihadtube, liveleak and internet providers) we could make this one short quick victory.

In fact we can start right now. The Taliban's official website and provider information is here. You can help by writing the provider and asking them to stop providing services to a known terrorist group whit whom we are at war. One that is Muslims and our men in the field every day.

Also the Taliban's official Youtube channel is still up at Jihadtube. We have the information here.

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Update: After checking the Taliban's website has moved off Houston provider, The Planet.

Today their host is listed as:

PIRADIUS-NET

Unit 21-3A Level 21
Plaza DNP 59 Jalan Abdullah Tahir
Taman Century Garden
80300 Johor Bahru Johor
Malaysia

abuse@piradius.net

Malaysia is a member the the UN. UN Security Council Resolution 1267 requires that Malaysia freeze any and all assets of the Taliban under their control. That includes the Voice of Jihad website.

Also note that the Islamic State of Iraq, a front for al-Qaeda, is distributing propaganda over this Youtube channel.

http://www.youtube.com/user/ASSAHAB888

And yes, that's the same user we PWNED a while back. He just changed the number on the end of his name. You might think the folks at Jihadtube would have enough brains to figure this out. Apparently not.

We can start on that one with this video.

Exclusive-Islamic State of Iraq saved Christians

Speech by Shaikh Abu Hamza Muhajir War Minister of Islamic State of Iraq (former head of AlQaeda Iraq that dissolved when joining Islamic State) exposes once again the lies and propaganda against the mujaheden in order to seed division between the people and mujaheden; same old same old by the crusaders "divide and rule" strategy; MUST SEE FOR BRAINWASHED MUSLIMS AND NONMUSLIMS, truth is in Jihaid Outlets

These posts are usually done by Howie except today he took the Sandcrawler to go find Rusty. I assume they are both now bellied up at Chalmun's Cantina. I pretty much just cut and pasted one of his old posts...keep that on the down low please.

You will be shocked to find out that there is still terrorist propaganda on Youtube...... We haven't linked the crew in a while. I think they are technically on strike, but there links are still up. So if you have time, stop over and help counter the cyber jihad and piss off some Jihadis.

Here are a couple particularly irritating videos. Flag away people. Flag away.

To hell with national security, the White House wants the Obamacare bill passed so bad they are threatening to put the Offutt base on BRAC if Senator Nelson refuses to sign the bill. Yup, it's the Chicago way.

Yah, lets close this base, no biggy....what's a loss of a Strategic Command Center.......sheesh

OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE, Neb. -- The 625th Strategic Operations Squadron, a tenant unit here, was realigned under Air Force Global Strike Command from Air Force Space Command Dec. 1.

Air Force Global Strike Command will oversee all of the service's nuclear forces. "The creation of this new command reflects the Air Force's firm and unshakeable conviction that nuclear deterrence and global strike operations are a special trust and responsibility, one that we take very seriously," said Lt. Gen. Frank Klotz, commander of AFGSC.
