I hope he knows he can't rag on Putin and stuff.

"I would rather ask questions to people of positions of power than speak on their behalf," King says in RT's new promotion for the show. "And that's why you can find my show, Larry King Now, right here on RT."

All of which raises the question: Does Larry King realize who he's working for? This is RT, the Kremlin's English-language network. It's propaganda under the thinnest of veils. Facts and supporting arguments be damned, RT is known for peddling the Russian government's policies[...[

Well, maybe King does know who he's working for. The New York Times points out that he's something of a fan of Russian President Vladimir Putin. But the move still seems strange for someone who considers himself a genuine journalist. I mean, has the celebrated host even seen RT?

The Tsarnaev's stomping ground.

Via ZIP

MAKHACHKALA, Russia (AP) – A female suicide bomber blew herself up in the southern Russian region of Dagestan on Saturday injuring at least 18, including two children and five police officers, police said. The attacker was later identified as a widow of two Islamic radicals killed by security forces

It was the first suicide bombing in Dagestan since the Boston Marathon bombings last month. The Tsarnaev brothers suspected of carrying out those attacks are ethnic Chechens who lived in this turbulent Caucasus province before moving to the U.S. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the elder brother who was killed a shootout with police days after the April 15 bombings, spent six months in Dagestan in 2012[...]

The woman was identified as Madina Alieva, 25, who married an Islamist who was killed in 2009 and then wedded another Islamic radical who was gunned down last year, police spokeswoman Fatina Ubaidatova said.

The bombers are often called “black widows” in Russia because many are the widows, or other relatives, of militants killed by security forces. Islamic militants are believed to convince “black widows” that a suicide bombing will reunite them with their dead relatives beyond the grave[More...]

Stupid Ho's™ for believing the cowardly mujahideen.

An Austrian state news agency АРА reported on the story in an article "Activists demonstrate in Vienna in support for Tsarnaevs (Aktivisten demonstrieren in Wien für Tsarnaev)":

"On Thursday afternoon, at around 4:00 pm, a demonstration was held in Vienna to show solidarity with the two brothers who allegedly bombed the Boston Marathon.

"Muslims always hold together, no matter what happens...! We all know that the two Chechens are innocent!", shouted the organizers.

h/t @th3j35t3r

If you are not a regular Jawa Report reader, the Kavkaz Center is al-Qaeda's Russian mouthpiece. When the Boston bombing first happened they were pretty quiet and now they are back to their regular jihadi propaganda program.

As Rusty has noted: "The Kavkaz Center, much like the "Voice of Jihad", Taliban's propaganda website [which has been pwnd several times by Jawas], no intelligence can be gained. Both are used for terrorist propaganda, only".

In the past they have called us Zionists. Like, that is a badge of honor here! Plus, they don't like boobies!

April 26, 2013

Color me unshocked in the slightest:

Russian officials warned authorities in the United States about the mother of the bombing suspects in 2011, and she was also added to a terror watch list, according to CNN.

April 24, 2013

First we were told the FBI had been warned about Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2010. Then we were told that they had been warned a second time in 2012. Now, the Boston Globe is reporting that the FBI had been warned "multiple times". So, more than twice?

Russian authorities contacted the US government with concerns about Tamerlan Tsarnaev not once but “multiple’’ times, including an alert it sent after he was first investigated by FBI agents in Boston, raising new questions about whether the FBI should have paid more attention to the suspected Boston Marathon bomber, US senators briefed on the inves­tigation said Tuesday.

But if the reports about multiple warnings from Moscow pan out, then I'm becoming increasingly sure of my theory about why Tamerlan Tsarnaev was given a pass by the FBI.

It's because the US State Department refuses to list the violent Islamist extremists in Chechnya and Dagestan as "terrorists".

So, the FBI goes to investigate Tsarnaev. That he's linked to websites like the Kavkaz Center or VDagestan. But since The Islamic Emirate of the Caucuses and affiliated groups haven't been designated "terrorists" by State then they FBI has nothing to go on to further the investigation.

By definition Tsarnaev isn't linked to terrorists. Chechen rebels = not terrorist.

This isn't a matter of semantics, it's a matter of law.

The FBI is being truthful when they say they couldn't investigate Tamerlan Tsarnaev further because according to their own definitional guidelines he was not linked to "terrorists".

As far as I can gather, only the leader of the group -- Dokku Umarav -- has been designated a terrorist, but the group itself has not.

So, blame Hillary Clinton for the Boston bombings. It was her State Department, which she led during the period in which the Russians warned us, which failed to designate the Chechen separatists as "terrorists".

UPDATE by Rusty: Oops, it looks like I was wrong here. The Islamic Emirate of the Caucuses has been designated an FTO -- and it was on Hillary's watch that it was done.

So, my initial theory has to be wrong. I'll go ahead an leave the post so I won't be accused of pushing something I said which proved to be wrong down the memory hole.

As I tell my students frequently: being surprised at being wrong is something that happens only to the young or extremely arrogant.

But I can't help but wonder the extent to which the Chechen jihad is on the radar of the FBI? Certainly it will be now, but prior to the Boston bombings? I'm guessing not so much.

I also can't help but wonder the extent to which this designation covers Dagestani rebels? If federal agents would even be aware of the connection between groups operating in Dagestan and in Chechnya?

Ok, so there you have it. I was wrong. I don't expect it will be the last time.

April 23, 2013

Since I lived in Moscow for a year and Max Lindenman brings this up, let me just say that my own experience of Russian attitudes towards Chechens was very similar. I was there basically at the same time as Max was, and there wasn't a day that went by that I didn't see the police hassling people who looked Chechen, Turkish, or Roma (Gypsy).

And when I say hassling, I mean the overt kind of racism you might have experienced in the South 75 years ago. Not the he gave me a dirty look kind that passes for "racism" these days.

I can't speak to the extent to which that has changed in the past 15 years. Hopefully, for the better.

But the fact that the Chechens might have legitimate grievances does not take away from the fact that The Islamic Emirate of the Caucuses and related groups are terrorists. And if you work for the State Department, you really should keep this in mind the next time you consider who to put on the FTO list.

April 21, 2013

A jihadi forum carried this:

New statement from Wilayah Dagestan of the Caucasus Emirate: “In Relation to Events in Boston”

After the events in Boston, the US, information has been distributed in the press saying that one of the Tsarnaev brothers spent 6 months in Dagestan in 2012. On this basis, there are speculative assumptions that he may have been associated with the Mujahideen of the Caucasus Emirate, in particular with the Mujahideen of Dagestan.

The Command of the Province of Dagestan indicates in this regard that the Caucasian Mujahideen are not fighting against the United States of America[they have fought in other theaters such as Afghanistan, against Americans..ed]. We are at war with Russia, which is not only responsible for the occupation of the Caucasus, but also for heinous crimes against Muslims.

Also, remember that even in respect to the enemy state of Russia, which is fighting the Caucasus Emirate, there is an order by the Emir Dokku Umarov, which prohibits strikes on civilian targets.[See video below..ed]

In this regard, the Command of the Mujahideen of the Province of Dagestan urges the media, primarily the American, to halt speculations and promotion of Russian propaganda.

If the US government is really interested in establishing the true organizers of Boston bombings, and not in complicity with the Russian show, it should focus on the involvement of Russian security services in the events.

Say what you will about Russian democracy, freedom, and foreign policy: they do know how to kill terrorists:

Security forces in Russia killed the leader of one of the rebel groups fighting to create an Islamist state in the North Caucasus and two other terrorists on Thursday, said Russia's anti-terrorism committee....

The dead leader, Adam Khushalayev, who had adopted the name Abu-Malik, had been wanted for over a decade, and had taken over as head of a insurgent group after its leaders were killed in January.

You gotta love the Russians. Sure, their foreign policy sucks and their electoral system is almost, but not quite, as corrupt as Chicago's -- but they do produce smokin' hot women and know how to deal with jihadis: by killing them:

Two of the most wanted Islamist rebels in Chechnya were among 14 people killed in a shootout between Russian forces and militants, Interfax news agency said on Thursday.

Brothers Khuseyn and Muslim Gakayev have been accused of organising several high-profile attacks, most recently a suicide bomb attack on an interior ministry vehicle that killed four people last August.

They were also blamed for an attack on the Chechen parliament in 2010 when at least six people died, and an assassination attempt at the residence of Moscow-backed Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov.

On the night of Thursday Kavkaz Center received a message about the encirclement of the Mujahideen in the Vedeno district.

It said that large forces of puppets, supported by invaders, including by aircraft and artillery, have surrounded a group of Mujahideen by the will of Allah.

Sounds kind of like a confirmation to me.

A passenger jet crashed into a highway after making a hard landing at Moscow’s Vnukovo Airport. At least four people were killed and four critically injured, says the Interior Ministry. Officials believe the cause could be pilot error.

Two people were found dead at the scene of the TU-204 jet crash, while a 27-year-old woman died on the way to hospital. Whether the fourth person died at the scene or in the ambulance remains unclear. Those killed are the captain, the co-pilot, the flight engineer and a flight attendant, the Emergencies Ministry declared.

Four people taken to Moscow hospitals – three flight attendants and a technical staff – remain in a critical condition. They have sustained traumatic brain injuries, say medical officials.

By midnight the wreckage of the plane had been cleared and the traffic on the Kievskoye Highway fully restored[ More]

Here's an image of "the al Qaeda flag" in Kazan, Russia as reported by the Kavkaz Center. The important thing to remember about this is that Kazan is nowhere near the Caucuses mountains, home to "Islamic Emirate of the Caucuses".

Kazan is a major Russian city.

The bad news is that this is an indication that support for radical Islam is not a regionally limited phenomenon in Russia. The good news is that Vladimir Putin doesn't seem to be the type of quasi-dictator who will put up with this kind of thing for very long.

But the fact that the image is from Kazan and not Grozny is a surprise. Perhaps this will send a signal to Moscow that they can no longer expect to be able to feed radical Islamism with one hand when it is directed against the US and not expect it to bite the other hand domestically.

1) Police arrest subversive elements.
2) Court convicts subversive elements.
3) Dictator overturns court showing world that he's really a good guy.

The problem here, though, isn't the process. It looks like the process will eventually free the trio. No, the problem here is substantive. Can a nation truly be free when the substance of the law makes basic political and religious expression illegal?

I don't think so. No matter how many activists Putin releases and no matter how many Christians sentenced to death the Mullahs overturn, the fact remains that those countries have laws on the books which deny fundamental human freedoms.

Afandi's tens of thousands of followers included influential officials, clerics and businessmen.

Police in Dagestan said Wednesday that the bomber was Aminat Kurbanova, a 30-year-old resident of Dagestan's capital, Makhachkala. The Interfax news agency claimed she was an ethnic Russian woman who had converted to Islam after marrying an Islamist militant.

Moscow (CNN) -- Russia's security service has foiled a plot to attack the 2014 Winter Olympics in the Black Sea city of Sochi, state media reported Thursday.

Authorities arrested three men this week in Georgia's breakaway republic of Abkhazia on charges of plotting the attack in a joint operation with Abkhazian security services, the Russian National Anti-Terrorism Committee said, according to the state-run RIA Novosti news agency.

The three are suspected of being ringleaders of a regional cell of the North Caucasus-based terrorist group Caucasus Emirate.

BBC is reporting Chechen rebel leader Doku Umarov was the mastermind behind the plan. But doesn't state if he was one of the three captured. Umarov was behind the bombing at the Moscow airport in January of last year. I expect there will be a statement at alQaeda's Russian mouthpiece Kavkaz Center.

Was Anna Chapman Trying to Seduce Steven Chu?

Who was the lucky guy Russian spy Anna Chapman was about to ... what's the technical term here, get-it-on with? -- in the White House?

Also, would President Obama mind us calling her a slut? But the good kind. You know, hot.

Via Ace of Spades (who else?) comes this news in the UK's Independent:

Another revelation in the series is the real reason why the FBI swooped on Russian spy Anna Chapman in 2010. Top officials feared the glamorous Russian agent wanted to seduce one of US President Barack Obama's inner circle. Frank Figliuzzi, the FBI's head of counterintelligence, reveals how she got "closer and closer to higher and higher ranking leadership... she got close enough to disturb us".

The fear that Chapman would compromise a senior US official in a "honey trap" was a key reason for the arrest and deportation of the Russian spy ring of 10 people, of which she was a part, in 2010. "We were becoming very concerned," he says. "They were getting close enough to a sitting US cabinet member that we thought we could no longer allow this to continue."

Or was it even a guy? Ace notes that the gender of the individual she was trying to seduce isn't given in the story. Nice. Except, isn't the implication then ... a female cabinet member .... Chapman is in .... New York ...

Oh, G*d, please say he didn't go there! Oh, yes, he went there.

My mental eye, it burns!

Okay, that can't be the implication. I don't think my mental health could handle even the remotest possibly. So, if this is true at all -- and there are some serious doubts here, but has that ever stopped us from speculating? -- it was a guy.

But who is the lucky guy? I'm trying to track this down, but wasn't she or the guys she was working with doing some rather low level recon at nuclear energy conferences? If that's right, then that would mean the guy she was getting close to was ......

Sec. of Energy Steven "I-Was-for-$5-A-Gallon-Gas-Before-I-Was-Against-It" Chu.

I think I've been selling Anna Chapman short. Up until this point I figured she was just some bimbo that used her good looks to become famous. But to pretend you're into that? That takes talent.

I predict a long and fruitful career in Russia's version of Hollywood.

And now what you've all been waiting for .... the reason why I posted this in the first place ...... not safe for work Anna Chapman photos and links below!

UPDATE: I updated the post with the lesbian angle because frankly I didn't see what Ace was getting at before. And you know what? My life was better off without that thought occupying space in my mind. Much better off.

Now excuse me. I'm off to therapy.

Pics still below the fold.

CNN:

Al Jazeera's Paris bureau received video of the shootings in southwest France blamed on Mohammed Merah, and gave the material to the police, bureau chief Zied Tarrouche said Tuesday.

The edited footage contains images of the killings of seven people, along with music, religious singing and readings from the Quran, he said.

"You can hear the gunshots at the time of the killings. ... You can hear the cries of the victims," he said on CNN affiliate BFM-TV.

Merah, 23, was killed Thursday at the end of a 32-hour siege at the apartment in the city of Toulouse where he was holed up.

He was wanted in the killings of three French paratroopers, a rabbi and three children ages 4, 5, and 7. Two other people were seriously wounded in shootings blamed on him.

The video arrived by mail on Monday on a USB stick along with an unsigned letter crediting al Qaeda with the attacks, Tarrouche told CNN.

It's sick sick sick, and designed to create more murderers like Mohammad Merah for al-Qaeda.

But going after al-Qaeda and their supporters' speech makes you a bigot and an Islamophobe. Not going after it makes more dead people.

From Accuracy in Media’s Cliff Kincaid:

The Russia Today (RT) Moscow-funded propaganda channel, which is backing the murderous regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, aired a special program on Tuesday night on how progressives in the U.S. can “Take Back the American Dream” by defeating Republicans. The propaganda effort was broadcast throughout the United States and produced in collaboration with major liberal groups such as the Campaign for America’s Future, MoveOn.org and Demos, all of them Soros-funded.

The host was Thom Hartmann, who regards himself as the nation’s “number one” progressive radio talk-show host.

The “National Teach-In to Take Back the American Dream” featured Robert Reich, former U.S. Secretary of Labor; Heather McGhee of Demos; Leo Hindrey, a businessman and self-styled “Patriotic Millionaire;” Natalie Foster, the co-founder of Rebuild the Dream; and Robert Borosage of the Campaign for America’s Future.

Putin posted a blog on HufPo, one of RT’s official “partners” in the media business.

Nobody on the program, which also aired on DISH Network, DirectTV and the Free Speech TV Network, demonstrated any concern about appearing on a Moscow-funded channel to promote the “American dream.”[More...]

The big news is that Doku Umarov, the leader of the jihadis in Russia's Caucuses has just declared that civilians are off limits for Islamist fighters in the region.

Of course, in only coming out now against killing civilians Umarov admits that for the past 15 years those associated with the movement have been intentionally targeting civilians.

For instance, does he think we're gong to forget Beslan? And that it was his immediate predecessor, Shamil Basayev, who intentionally took hundreds of elementary school children hostage?

Umarov is a war criminal and a mass murderer. His very presence in hell would make the place less savory.

Sorry to say it, but this is a mistake.

I know this group - Femen - and I kind of like them. They are a bunch of crazy libertarian girls in Ukraine. That stunt has nothing to do with OWS or Russia - it was mislabeled and Jawa Report unfortunately fell for it. They are protesting against the fact that their group's account, pictures, and videos are being banned on the Internet - Google, YouTube, etc. - and they are for freedom of speech. They are dressed as if for the steam room in a bathhouse, because the word "ban" sounds like the Russian/Ukrainian "banya" - "bathhouse."

Much of this is funny, for instance they call the author of an Almanac article of The Islamic Emirate of the Caucuses -- which praises al Qaeda endlessly -- an "Islamophobic jew" for .... noting that the Russian jihadis are in cahoots with several terrorist organizations. Funny because a quick search of Kavkaz's archives show hundreds of articles praising al Qaeda.

They then speak of an "International Jew" from a "Zio paper in jew-occupied [sic]" while pointing their readers to Henry Ford's antisemitic treatise: THE INTERNATIONAL JEW, THE WORLD'S FOREMOST PROBLEM.

So, I guess it's not just terror supporters who are under the protection of the Swedish government. Antisemitism is also just fine and dandy.
