Twitter probes terror threat: Medieval murder mob ISIS allegedly puts co-founder in crosshairs Twitter says it is investigating menacing threats made against its employees allegedly by deranged terror bastards ISIS (or IS, or ISIL, or whatever.) The San Francisco-based upstart was warned it faced retaliation attacks for shutting down Twitter accounts operated by ISIS fanatics and their sympathizers. The Mid-East …
FFS its about time crowdfunding was put to some use for once to finance a hit contract on whichever sick fuck is behind this ISIL evil. How much would it take for someone close to knock him off???
There must be one evil bastard behind all this, in the same way as Hitler / Stalin / Mao / Pot were single minds in charge of their evil cancers. Decapitate the movement and it will collapse.
There is currently one "great evil bastard" ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Bakr_al-Baghdadi Catch is, he's been very well funded and is well hidden by probably very well paid and fanatical security. If you want him, follow the money trail and as has been written elsewhere, the trail starts in Saudi Arabia.
This is a "movement" not a centralized state of the authoritarian sort. So no decapitation strike getter-out. Sorry, based Hollywood-solution lovers, we will be hearing from those guys for some time yet.
Now ordering Patrick Cockburn's explainer on what this caliphose freakshow is about.
As that is exactly how his flunkies will view him once he is taken out "by the forces of the great satan".
Kidnap, load up with liberal amounts of Ecstasy, poppers, and have him pictured cavorting with loads of nubile and naked young men. Starve him, and then film him chowing down on plenty of pork produce to satisfy his hunger.
Discredit and destroy. It will be more effective than just killing him.
Yet, these are the fundies who believe technology is evil?
There's a dichotomy here in that the evil bastard leader, wears expensive suits and a Rolex under his poor Iman's robes. Driven in a top of the line limo. So while his minions are doing evil and living sparsely and dangerously, this guy is living in the lap of luxury. Do the research, it's out there on him.
The religion and fundie fanaticism appears to be a ploy for money and power by someone very shrewd and manipulative.
To be fair, all that fancy stuff he has was stolen from his victims, so at least he's not wasting money on that crap (the Rolex was off the wrist of the former mayor of Mosul, if I'm remembering correctly)...
Doesn't really help his position, but still...
Silliest thing is that that (stolen or otherwise) Rolex doesn't actually tell the time any better than my $10 watch from an internet junk store. It is purely a symbol of wealth with no added function from the dollar 'value'. A pure symbol of aristocracy if ever there was one.
...
(I used to have fun with street-hawkers in China trying to sell me a 'Rolex' by showing them my plastic sports watch and explaining I already had a watch. They always took the message with good humor.)
It would have read better if :
"It is not clear whether the Arabic-language post was made by individuals within ISIS, their warped supporters, or a lone nutcase."
Had been replaced by:
"It is not clear whether the Arabic-language post was made by individuals within ISIS, their warped supporters, or some other nutcase."
There are so many these days, of all persuasions.
