Taliban Chief Baitullah Mehsud is Dead

Pakistan Foreign Minister: Taliban Chief Baitullah Mehsud is Dead

We were right we received notice at 3:30 am last night.

From our sources inside beltway.G.

Friday prayers are done about 2100 EDT and the Taliban will likely announce a new comander, I'm betting on Hakimullah. The Wazirs and Bhitani will likely pull out of the Taliban. There is still alot of consolidation needed in Swat and Buner, those areas are about only 80% pacified.

So, likely lots of negotiations with the S Waziristan Taliban while that happens. And we will be putting lots of pressure on the Haqqani's, they are in our sights next but we don't have good UAV coverage in their areas, too far N, out of range and much more mountainous.

The Mehsud's have lots of AQ in their midst, Z for sure. Bottom line for us, they have to give up all AQ HVT's or the hits go on. From the absolutely chaotic and hysterical phone traffic in S Waziristan, they are very rattled by the UAV's and may be ready to give up the AQ.

Also, with opium drying up they may be ready to cut a deal. Baitullah's hit was a game changer, no one will want to take over, same thing happened with Zarqawi in Iraq. Hopefully the beginning of the end.

Do it in SECRET:

Allah is great,

Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allâh, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of the (false moujadeem), Tâghût (Satan). So fight you against the friends of Shaitân (Satan). Ever feeble indeed is the plot of Shaitân (Satan the false Moujahedeen ). ] al-Nissa:76.

Allah said : (Allah has promised, to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds, that He will, of a surety, grant them in the land, inheritance (of power), as He granted it to those before them; that He will establish in authority their religion -the one which He has chosen for them; and that He will change (their state), after the fear in which they (lived), to one of security and peace: 'They will worship Me (alone) and not associate aught with Me. 'If any do reject Faith after this, they are rebellious and wicked.) 55,AlNOOR.

Baitullah Mehsud's possible successors

ByBILL ROGGIOAugust 7, 2009 2:41 PM

The likely death of Pakistani Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud has reportedly initiated meeting of the Taliban shura to choose his successor.

Hakeemullah Mehsud and Qari Hussain Mehsud, both cousins of Baitullah, have long been thought to be the main rivals for leadership of the Tehrik-e-Taliban, or the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, the group Baitullah formed in December 2007. Others mentioned include Waliur Rahman, a Taliban commander in Bajaur, and Azmatullah Mehsud, a close aide to Baitullah.

Hakeemullah is reported to be in the lead to fill Baitullah's role as the emir of the Pakistani Taliban, according toa report inAKI.

Below are profiles of Hakeemullah and Qari Hussain, the two main rivals for Baitullah's job.

Snake eaters and goat blood drinkers

Lebanese Army Commandos and Visiting Teenagers Eat Live Snakes

The following footage was aired on the Lebanese channel OTV, which is operated by the Free Patriotic Movement of Michel 'Aoun. The footage was aired as part of a show in which a group of teenagers visits a different unit of the Lebanese Army every week.

In this week's episode, the teenagers visited the Commando Regiment. The soldiers brought a wooden box from which they took out live snakes, and began tearing them apart with their teeth and eating their flesh. The teenagers were invited to participate, and two of them are shown joining in.

Snake eaters and goat blood drinkers

Eating live snakes doesn't make one a good combantant.

When I was IN, we would have a baby goat wander among the

cadets, let them play and cuddle it. During survial training.

Then the baby goats throat was slit and drank from the

spouting juglar like a drinking fountain. Then we cooked it.

It was TRAINING, "don't make pets of your FOOD".

I have no idea what eating live snakes was training them for.

Sounds cruel to me, at least we killed the goat before we ate it.

UPDATE:

ISLAMABAD: A delegation of the elders of Mehsud tribe of South Waziristan has arrived in the federal capital in an effort to persuade the government to stop military action against the people of their area.

The 45-member jirga led by Senator Saleh Shah has met several leaders, including JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, National Assembly Deputy Speaker Faisal Karim Kundi and parliamentarians from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas.

They discussed the situation in Waziristan and the plight of the Mehsuds as a result of the action by security forces. The issue of displaced people was also discussed.

The jirga opposes military operation in the area, warning that such measures will result in a ‘catastrophe’.

The delegation’s spokesman Salahuddin Mehsud said the elders had informed the parliamentarians of hardships being faced by the people of the tribe.

The pending attack on Iran

The pending attack on Iran

By Gerald Internet Anthropologist Think Tank

08.06.09

The pending attack on Iran's nuclear stockpiles bodes well

for the resistance, If collateral damage is very very low.

And proof of the regime's attempt to build nukes.

The attack is quick and Iran is left to fume after the

quick attack.

The Iranian regime will be distracted with their

counter attacks, and leave the field open to

expose the regime's serious treaty violations

that lead to the attack, and more distaste for

the faked election and abuses of the Constitution.

Iran's main target will be Israel.

Israel will need to keep their counter attacks

precise with very low collateral damage, and

video everything, Iran etal will kill civilians

and try to blame the attacks to rile up the

Islamic Ummah.

Most of the Ummah knows what a nuclear

Iran means to the Middle East, increased

Iranian terrorism.

The attack will destroy the regime, which

the Iranian people want, and allow a new

Government to be elected.

The splits between the regime and Holy Men

will widen, the split between the 13 Iman's and

Shia will deepen, They know about the suicide

factor among the 13th Imman movement.

The Iranian economy will worsen as resources

are given to the nuclear activities and with drawn

from the civilian economy.

Just as the 15% raise abberjonny gave them before

the election has been withdrawn after the election.

And the crack down on the protesters becomes

murderous, and they react in earnest.

And a non-nuclear regime joins al Qaeda,

on the sly.

The world awaits Iran preparing for a Nuke

test and the end of the regime.

al Qaeda, Taliban Winning.

al Qaeda and Taliban failing.

By Gerald Internet Anthropologist Think Tank

How Does a Terrorist Group Get "Ties" to Al-Qaida?

Here's one way: Make a video.

Friday's dual suicide bombings in Jakarta, Indonesia, are being blamed on a splinter group of Jemaah Islamiyah, a Southeast Asian terror group. According to CNN, the organization has "ties to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda terrorist network." Last year, Turkish police claimed aman who attacked the U.S. consulate in Turkey had "ties to al-Qaeda," and early reports after the Mumbai, India, bombings implicated Lashkar-e-Taiba, another group suspected of having "ties to al-Qaeda." How does a terrorist group get "ties" to al-Qaida?

By swearing allegiance to Osama Bin Laden, seeking help from al-Qaida on Internet message boards, or simply acting like an official member of the terrorist network. Al-Qaida's closest affiliates compose a handful of groups spread throughout Asia and North Africa—al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, the Islamic State of Iraq, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, and the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group. The leaders of each of these have pledged bayat (an oath of allegiance traditional in Islam) to Bin Laden either in person or via videotape. We don't know the precise operational relationship between these affiliates and the small group of al-Qaida leaders, but they seem to coordinate attacks and exchange strategic advice and money. (Leaders of the affiliate groups occasionally appear in broadcast messages with the al-Qaida bigwigs.) Among the terrorist groups that haven't publicly pledged bayat, the phrase "ties to al-Qaeda" can mean anything from "they received technical guidance from al-Qaeda via a shady network of operatives and sympathizers," to "they share al-Qaeda's violent anti-Western ideology and goal of a global Islamic empire." While former Jemaah Islamiyah operatives are known to have pledged bayat to Osama Bin Laden, there is little evidence that its splinter groups have substantive connections to al-Qaida.

( BINNY HAS STATED HE CAN SEND A MAN TO THE END OF THE EARTH AND PUT UP AN aL QUEDA FLAG

AND USA WILL SEND A GENERAL THERE. TERRORIST HAVE A HAND FULL

OF SATANS MOOJADEEN IN MANY COUNTRIES. WITH DRONES WAITING

TO SEND THEM TO ALLAH FOR PUNISHMENT. G)

The sole criterion for acceptance into the al-Qaida network seems to be a desire to attack Westerners. Its affiliate groups tend to begin as local insurgencies with focused objectives and eventually make contact with al-Qaida operatives through Internet message boards or personal connections. Then the group internationalizes its mission, vowing to attack Western targets and establish a global caliphate. Finally, it releases a video in which the group swears allegiance to Bin Laden. Thevideos usually contain promises to protect Muslims and attack apostates, as well as exhortations to jihad from al-Qaida leaders. Membership does not appear to be competitive: Al-Qaida has never rejected a hopeful insurgent applicant.

News organizations, passing on information from government sources, often refer to "ties" between al-Qaida and groups other than the official affiliates. Some of those might be harboring al-Qaida-trained operatives (although, with the closure of most training camps in Afghanistan, those are a vanishing breed), or they could have gotten financial, strategic, or technical help from al-Qaida in support of a locally grown plot. There are also like-minded terrorists who self-identify as al-Qaida affiliates despite having no contacts inside the group. Finally, investigators might assume the al-Qaida link on the basis of nothing more than a similarity in tactics. (Any group that plans simultaneous suicide attacks against Western targets will probably get the "ties to al-Qaida" claim, even without evidence of consultation or coordination.)

Training camp closures, dried-up financial networks, and a loss of prestige on the Muslim street seem to be undermining al-Qaida's appeal as a franchiser. Earlier this month, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group became the first affiliate organization to depledge, ending its two-year membership in the network. In 2006, al-Qaida in Iraq changed its name to the Islamic State of Iraq, in part to de-emphasize its international ties and attract local recruits.

The intensity and body language of Kim Il, is remarkable,

All the smile lines are engaged, the eagerness and

happiness of an satiated senior knowing death is down the

road

He is realizing his life's end is on the horizon,

and he looks to his legacy.

He knows he has two legacys.

One the N. Korean people know.

The second the rest of the world knows.

While Kim wanted the photo above to be of

him and Bush, he hoped for a photo of

him and Obama.

Is he crazy happy with his photo of him

and Bill, maybe.

He is denied nothing in his country.

His ego/persona in N. Korea is almost

God like, while in the rest of the world

he is peanuts.

He has accomplished a cult following

in his country and is almost worshiped.

But he has not achieved that ego fulfillment

in the rest of the world.

His desire for world recognition ( ego fulfillment )

has drawn him into extreme methods

to gain attention.

By his own standards he is a huge success

in his own country, but in the rest of

the world he has failed in the recognition he

is so obsessive about.

His ego is so driven he has resorted to

nuclear weapons to try and gain that recognition.

Paradigm Intel suggest Kim may dump

Iran for a meeting, or Meetings with Obama.

The hypothesis says Kim might be willing

to cut off Iran and turn "States" witness

if he is allowed to play with the big boys.

I'm not sure what the expected response

to the fulfilled obsession and the ultimate

ego fulfillment is expected to be?

A bigger obsession or contemplative satiation?

Pranknet Burned

AUGUST 4--At 4:15 AM on a recent Tuesday, on a quiet, darkened street in Windsor, Ontario, a man was wrapping up another long day tormenting and terrorizing strangers on the telephone. Working from a sparsely furnished two-bedroom apartment in a ramshackle building a block from the Detroit River, the man, nicknamed "Dex", heads a network of so-called pranksters who have spent more than a year engaged in an orgy of criminal activity--vandalism, threats, harassment, impersonation, hacking, and other assorted felonies and misdemeanors--targeting U.S. businesses and residents....

Coalescing in an online chat room, members of the group, known as Pranknet, use the telephone to carry out cruel and outrageous hoaxes, which they broadcast live around-the-clock on the Internet. .....

"Dex" is a sociopath, a mean-spirited sadist who spews a barrage of racial epithets, vulgarities, and threats, and clearly enjoys the panic, fear, and damage he causes.....

On July 21, a pair of TSG reporters approached "Dex"'s building at 1637 Assumption Street in Windsor, where he lives in the ground-floor 'B' apartment. Calling to his mother, who was standing near an open living room window, a reporter asked her to summon her son. The woman disappeared into "Dex"'s adjoining bedroom, where the pair could be heard whispering. Despite repeated requests to come out and speak with TSG, "Dex" hid with his mother in his bedroom, the windows of which were covered with plastic shopping bags, a towel, and one black trash bag.

As the sun set and his room darkened, "Dex" did not reach to turn on a light. The notorious Internet Tough Guy, who has gleefully used the telephone to cause all kinds of havoc, was now himself panicking. He had been found. And, as a result, was barricaded in Pranknet World Headquarters with his mom, while two reporters loitered outside his window and curious neighbors wondered what was up.....

.......(though, notably, Malik does not take part in vicious chat room abuse directed at "Pakis," the group's catch-all term for Middle Eastern and Asian immigrants)......

...

Tariq Malik, Pranknet's founder and leader, is pictured in a webcam still taken in his Windsor, Ontario bedroom.

Known online as "Hempster," William Marquis, 51, lives on Gilroy Drive in the Scarborough section of Toronto, Ontario. Pranknet's second-in-command, Marquis is a felon whose rap sheet includes convictions for drunk driving (2004) and marijuana production (2005). The latter case resulted in Marquis receiving a two-year "conditional sentence," which roughly equates to probation.

Operation Sword, TALIBAN SCARED

Operation Sword, TALIBAN SCARED

Gerald

MY COMMENTS IN CAPS FOR EASE OF READING. G

In a statement released by a Taliban website, the Taliban called Operation Sword, launched by the U.S. and British troops in Afghanistan's southern Helmand province, a fiasco, and asked the U.S. to hammer out an exit strategy and quit Afghanistan.

Following are excerpts from the weekly statement published by the Taliban website alemarah1.org:(1)

"This So-Called Organized War... Is But a Sheer Fiasco"

"U.S., NATO and the stooge Kabul regime have launched a joint operation in Helmand province, with a force of 12,000 troops. This vast operation has been continuing for the past two weeks against the patriotic land of Helmand and its heroic and gallant people.

TRANSLATION: PEOPLE OF HELMAND RISE UP AND HELP THE TALIBAN OR THEY ARE IN BIG TROUBLE.G

"They themselves have acknowledged that the operation is the most important for America after the Vietnam War and for Britain after the Falkland's War. It is an organized war in the true sense of the word.

"From another angle, it is significant as it is being conducted after the assumption of power by Obama in the White House and after the announcement of his new strategy. If we read the results and look at the achievements of the operation, we see this so-called organized war, after the Vietnam War and Falkland's War, is but a sheer fiasco. Operation Khanjar (Sword) failed in the vast deserts of Helmand; their military capability, arsenal, arrogance, magnanimity, black propaganda all failed to live up to the expectation.

"The streets of London and Washington are ringing with protests. They say that they want neither Afghanistan nor the geopolitical interests that go with it. They want their sons and their troops back home from Afghanistan. SMALL INTERMITTENT PROTESTS. G

"The residents of London and the U.S. are entitled to stage protests ( PLAY ON THE IRANIAN PROTESTS AND RIGHT TO PROTEST BUT THERE ARE NO IRANIAN LIKE PROTESTS IN USA.G ) because tens of hundreds of U.S. and British soldiers are falling prey to the attacks of the Mujahid and brave Taliban in face-to-face combat, ambushes, roadside bombs, etc. Their helicopters are taking caskets of dead bodies of soldiers to their homelands. Their 1,000 soldiers who have always led a life in comfort and luxury just passed out because of the hot climate of the grueling sun in the vast deserts of Helmand, suffering from sunstroke.

"Obama, and before him the British defense minister, had acknowledged that the operation being conducted now does not go a long way as they had expected at the outset. This is because the Taliban have turned to new and effective tactics. They are no longer stationary in their hideouts, but are always on the move. They change their places several times in one night, regroup, and launch fresh attacks. He said that Britain and America will still not lose their patience."

LIKE USA ISN'T GOING TO CHANGE THEIR TACTICS ALSO?

IF THE TALIBAN ARE WAKING UP 3X A NIGHT TO MOVE LOCATION, THEY WILL BE IN A DAZE DURING THE NEXT DAYS BATTLE,

THAT IS JUST AN OUT RIGHT LIE. G

Operation Sword Will "Be the Mujahideen's Last Nail in the Coffin of Obama's Larger-Than-Life Strategy"

"Observers believe that the dashing defeat of Britain and America in Helmand, their tremendous casualties, and the failure of the armed-to-teeth army prove that Afghans never submit to the might, arrogance and domineering [of the U.S.].But still, the sole superpower of the time resorts to old tactics of shock and awe, and bestiality, hoping that this will break the Afghans. They should understand that all Afghans are not like the powers-that-be in Kabul, who are devoid of conscience and compunction. There are still some patriotic and gallant Afghans who can sacrifice all their families but are not ready to trade their Islam, the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him), and the noble Afghan traditions. Nor they are ready to live a life of debasement and humiliation. TRYING TO SPIN THE WAR, ITS AGAINST THE TALIBAN WHO ARE HIDING BEHIND THE FARMERS IN HELMAND. THE TALIBAN HAVE BROUGHT THE LION TO AFGHAN, AND NOW WANTS AFGHANIS TO FIGHT IT. TALIBAN HAVE NO HONOR, BOYS, CHILDREN SUICIDE BOMBERS, KILLING MUSLIMS, WOMEN, CHILDREN BOMBING MOSQUES, MARKET PLACES.G

"Obama and the organizers, planners and executers of his strategy, should read the extent of the bravery and heroism of the Afghans in Helmand and how a few defenseless Afghans pushed the Americans and 46 other countries of the world to the wall. Talib, Mujahid, farmers, old men, women, children and the climate have fused into one, dealing a dashing blow at the enemy, giving them an exemplary lesson. SO THE TALIBAN WISHES THE PEOPLE OF AFGHANISTAN TO FIGHT THE LION THEY BROUGHT TO AFGHAN. BUT THE PEOPLE HAVE SEEN THE TALIBAN AND WOULD RATHER FIGHT THE TALIBAN.G

"The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan reminds them of the statement by Amir-ul-Momineen [Mullah Omar] some eight years ago, when he addressed them on the voice of Shariat Radio, saying: 'Your cutting-edge weapons have the power to kill, but have no power to protect you from death. Do not be overconfident about your weapons.'

IN PROPAGANDA THIS IS CALLED A DEFLECT, MAKE THEM LOOK IN ANOTHER DIRECTION. THE TALIBAN HAVE ADMITTED STRONG FEAR OF THE DRONES. SILENT, INVISIBLE, LETHAL.G

"We would like to declare our stance once again that your advanced and sophisticated weapons will not protect you from death. You will achieve nothing by increasing your forces. They will not make you safe from the wrath of the Mujahideen. Do not stick to stubbornness. Still there is time to hammer out a logical exit strategy.

MORE DEFLECTION, TALIBAN THE DRONES ARE WAITING FOR YOU. G

"Listen! The Helmand operation will prove to be the Mujahideen's last nail in the coffin of Obama's larger-than-life strategy."

THE NAIL IN THE TALIBAN COFFIN.

Paypal crashes

There’s a mad rush of tips coming into us right now that PayPal’s online purchasing service is down for the count. While the site itself appears to be loading (though very slowly), numerous buyers and venders are reporting that sales are not going through. A quick scan of Twitter tells the same story. And it looks like it has been down for something like an hour and a half now.

[Update below, it looks like after something like 2 hours of downtime, the service is starting to come back.]

Here’s what PayPal is officially saying on its developer site:

EVENT DETAILS
——————–
Service: Live Site

During the time listed below you may have or currently are experiencing the following:
Buyers may experience error “Sorry - your last action could not be completed” on trying to login to www.paypal.com.
Payments via API are intermittently unavailable.

Affected Product(s):

So there you go, both the main site and the all-important PayPal APIs are not working. Not good.

It will be interesting to see how PayPal follows this up. A lot of merchants undoubtedly lost a lot — and I mean a lot — of money today. When Rackspace had its recent failures, it noted that it would likely have to reimburse customers to the tune of millions of dollars. eBay, which owns PayPal, could be looking at a similar situation.

Cyber options. Shields...

The White House cybersecurity czar resigned Monday.

While the White House gives lip service to the position.

they have stalled implementation.

IATT has offered a list of initiatives.

Suggested Paradigms and

Needed Cyber initiatives.

By Gerald; Internet Anthropologist Think Tank.

05.29.09

#1) Awards for cyber security. A cyber DARPA.

Like Government contracts for fighter Jets.

The black hats are eating our lunch.

$100 million award for a secure fire wall, anti-virus,

anti-trojan and Rootkit program. Open competition.

There is a lack of funding needed to get even

one step ahead of bad guys on the Internet.

#2) Change in Laws for customer monitoring credit.

Experian suit against life lock demonstrates the faulty paradigm

allowing ID hacking. Currently the Big three only allow customers 90 day

monitoring of of their accounts, IF THEY HAVE A THREAT PENDING.

The big three credit bureaus do not allow 365 day, email notice of

credit changes and usages. The big three have it in their power

to almost eliminate ID theft, and do virtually nothing to protect customers.

#3) Creation of a Military Cyber Battalion. Offensive force.

There is virtually no risk to attacking American networks.

Create a cyber force with the ability to take attacking PC and

networks OFF LINE, best defense is a good offense. Establish "rules of engagement"

Cyber Company on patrol

#4) Defense structure for Internet Nodes.

The WWW is at risk of a cyber Pearl Harbor.

#5) International Cyber Police.

A force to pursue cyber crooks anywhere in the world.

AND RECOVER VICTIMS MONEY.

This will involve treaty's.

RIAA has created the first

cyber police.

#6) Change in MS security policy:

Allowing patching

illegal OS. And law allowing them to shut down

illegal OS's.Thru Cyber Police.

MS current policys block security updates for

illegal OS giving BOT farms a place to grow.

Unpatched OS.

#7) ISP check and enforce minimal security on

customers or cut off www access.

Again a favorite home of bots, unprotected

PC's.

#8) Valadation system for for security vendors and programs.

The number of fake Security Programs/sites is huge, 300 to 400,

the public can't tell which are safe.

#9 method to change Social Security Number

once the cyber criminals get it. To protect ID

theft victims from continual theft over the rest of their

lives. Once they have the SS# they have the keys to

the victims credit.

These would be a very good start to securing

the WWW.

Looking only to protect American networks is short

sighted. The entire WWW needs protection.

If the WWW comes down the protected American

networks are useless.
