The new Homeland Security Dept. could use your talents.

A CLEAR PICTURE OF THE THREAT FROM ISLAM

Jehadi website ping: (let me know if you want on or off)

"John has a long moustache. I repeat..."
[Woman/Femme]: "Lets go! We have to hurry up!"

Regardless of the translation, it sounds like she heard:
"John has LONG feeeet"

[Gorzaloon]

Relax.

Those are Hipcrime or Hipclone attacks. They have been going on for years, every once in a while. Every time, a few topically current terms are added to the data files which are read at random to create the nonsense sentences.

What happens is a spammer gets his peepee whacked with a mallet by his ISP, and he throws a tantrum, trying to flood the nanae newsgroup in a fit of pique. They also issue forged cancels.

Dude Thats Bizzare, It reads like a thousand poems strung together. The FBI should have a looksy.......

[knighthawk]

BUMP!

[LibWhacker]

Hmmmm . . . Quite possibly correct. One of the newsgroups I used to read on a regular basis is often unreadable for weeks and months on end because of these flooding attacks.

I always dismissed it as the work of some kook named Thomas Boschloo who lives in the Netherlands and apparently has some kind of grudge against the group. But now I see the words 'Moustapha' and 'Boschloo' often appear together in these posts. It was a big mistake to educate ragheads at our universities, and it is an even BIGGER one that we're still doing it. We're teaching them how to kill us for crying out loud.

Looks like some of the stuff the Scientologists post in code.

[LibWhacker]

Of course, what I do not understand is why they would bother with this crap. For instance, why don't they encrypt all their communications, usenet and otherwise, with PGP? It's simpler and more secure to boot.

I think this is a HipCrime Usenet attack. Although annoying and disruptive, HipCrime wouldn't seem to be Islamic terrorism. A Google search for "hipcrime" will provide some information on the history of this problem.

[b4its2late]

Interesting.

Mr. Galt,

I don't know a darn thing about Usenet or the postings, but I did notice that the last usenet posts you noted are in Virginia and posted in November, 2002.

stepping back in time...HUMAN EVENTS ONLINE: "SUBURBAN WASHINGTON'S TERROR TRAIL" by Tiimothy P. Carney and Terrence P. Jeffrey (November 5, 2001)

Thanks for the ping. I think that Usenet is a high traffic place for terrorist chatter because it is so hard to regulate. There are so many groups and so many ways to spread the word withouit anyone catching on. Thnaks for looking into this and it might be a good idea for everyone to ping into this thread anything else that they see on Usenet that may contain cryptic code that the feds might be interested in seeing.

Johnathan.....great job as always.

Time to build a "Mad Libs" generator and flood 'em.
