SNIPPET: "Chicago gangs are still spray-painting their graffiti on alley walls, train cars and viaducts — but they’re also using their smart phones and computers for “cyber-tagging,” according to the Chicago Crime Commission, which released an updated book on the city’s street gangs Thursday.
They’re provoking their rivals with Internet graffiti and using social media to keep in touch with their associates, according to the commission.
“They’re tagging websites with information that is provocative and incites violence,” said Jody Weis, former Chicago Police superintendent and president of the commission."
SNIPPET: "Web chatter is a valuable tool for law enforcement officials to monitor for information on gangs, Weis noted."
SNIPPET: "Authorities can obtain search warrants to go deeper into a suspect’s social media site and build a criminal case, Weis said."

China in business with drug cartels
Examiner ^ | Feb. 4, 2011 | Dave Gibson
Posted on February 7, 2011 10:42:14 AM PST by AuntB
Last week, Mexican authorities seized over 23 tons of ethyl phenylacetate, which is used in the manufacture of methamphetamine. The drug component was discovered at the Pacific port of Manzanillo, in a shipment from China.
In April 2010, Mexican officials seized 80 tons of phenylacetic acid and its derivatives shipped from Shanghai, China. Imports of ethyl phenylacetate require authorization from the country’s health ministry, so the shipments are intentionally mis-labeled before leaving China.
Last year, an anonymous U.S. official told Reuters that between October and November 2010, Mexican authorities seized 818 tons of chemicals used in making crystal meth.
Due to rampant corruption among port officials, the cartels are allowed to receive large shipments of the chemicals from China which are transported to meth labs throughout Mexico.
The chemicals are used in a production process known as phenyl-2-propanone (P2P method), and cost much less than pseudoephedrine, thus increasing the cartels’ profits.
In 2009 alone, the Mexican police and military found 215 meth labs, a 400 percent increase of the labs discovered in 2008.
90 percent of the methamphetamine sold in the U.S. is brought into this country from Mexico and distributed by several street gangs such as the notoriously violent MS-13.

US citizen extradited on Hezbollah charges (dual US-Lebanese, Moussa Ali Hamdan)
Yahoo ^ | 2/25/11 | AFP
Posted on February 25, 2011 2:32:30 PM PST by NormsRevenge
NEW YORK (AFP) – A dual US-Lebanese citizen has been extradited from Paraguay and charged with supporting Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant force, US officials said Friday.
Moussa Ali Hamdan, 38, appeared in court in Philadelphia following his extradition and has been charged with providing “material support to Hezbollah, a designated foreign terrorist organization,” the federal prosecutor’s office in Pennsylvania said in a statement.
Hamdan was arrested by Paraguayan authorities June 15 on suspicion of supporting terrorism and was subsequently handed over to US custody.
He is accused in the United States on 28 counts including conspiring to supply Hezbollah with proceeds from the sale of counterfeit money and fake passports.
He also allegedly raised funds for Hezbollah through the sale of counterfeit electronics and leisure wear, such as Nike shoes.
If convicted on all charges, he faces a prison sentence of up to 260 years.
Diplomatic cables made public by WikiLeaks revealed that the US embassy in Chile was concerned about Hezbollah fund raising in that Latin American country, and described a broader Islamist network in the so-called Tri-Border Area of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, the area where Hamdan was detained.

SNIPPET: “In recent years, U.S. concerns have increased over activities of Hezbollah and the Sunni Muslim Palestinian group Hamas (Islamic Resistance Movement) in the tri-border area (TBA) of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, which has a large Muslim population.
The TBA has long been used for arms and drug trafficking, contraband smuggling, document and currency fraud, money laundering, and the manufacture and movement of pirated goods.”

Now Arizona Has More Than One War In Our Backyards MY OPINION: Hezbollah using drug routes

“Now Arizona has more than one war in our backyards MY OPINION: Hezbollah using drug routes” By Lionel Waxman, Inside Tucson Business Published on Friday, April 23rd, 2010
SNIPPET: “For years, I have been warning that the Mexican drug war will sweep over Southern Arizona if we don’t close the border. Well now the war is here. But today, I am writing to warn you of another war. It is using the drug routes but it isn’t connected to the cartels.
Hezbollah, the Iran-backed Lebanese group, is on its way to involving Tubac, Tucson, Phoenix and other parts of Arizona in the Arab-Israeli conflict as well as the drug trade. Where are our NIMBYs?
For at least four years, the Hispanic American Center for Economic Research has been keeping an eye on a Hezbollah militia that has taken root in South America in the what’s known as the tri-border region of Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil.”

DEA Raids Car Dealership with Alleged Ties to Terrorist Group Hezbollah
Fox News ^ | 12/18/11 | Fox News
Posted on December 18, 2011 7:59:04 PM PST by Nachum
Drug Enforcement Administration agents have raided an Oklahoma car dealership that the government suspects may be one of about 30 such businesses in the U.S. involved in funding the terrorist group Hezbollah.
DEA agents say the car lot of Ace Auto Leasing in Tulsa is part of a huge network that is selling cars and drugs — and then using the money to support terrorism against the U.S., myfoxphoenix.com reports.
During Friday’s raid, agents could be seen carryout out filing cabinets and other items. They also questioned employees and took inventory.
“They’re making big time money and it’s going right into weapons acquisition, terrorist training, recruiting, corruption. Things needed to carry out terrorist attacks across the world,” said Rusty Payne of the DEA. “Some of that money is flowing back to the United States, back to these used car companies, to purchase more used cars to ship them to West Africa to sell those at a profit and then mix those used car proceeds in with the drug dollars.”

Abstract The phenomenon of homegrown jihadi terrorism may at first seem inscrutable. On closer examination it appears to be a kind of gang activity, rooted in particular communities and arising from informal social networks. Criminology has occupied itself with the study of gangs for at least the last 80 years and much of that may be directly applicable in terms of both theory and research findings. Individuals who are part of these terrorist gangs proceed through a process of radicalization that has been well-delineated. Whether an individual will transit though all the stages of radicalization, becoming part of a gang that will at least attempt acts of terrorism, will depend on differentials of opportunity and of association. It may be possible to develop a theory of Differential Jihadization, which can both explain the phenomenon to researchers, and assist practitioners in assessing the threat that a gang may represent. Future research should examine such homegrown jihadi gangs in light of contemporary criminal gangs, and the Internet is a likely common turf where members of both types of gangs can be found, observed, and compared.
Badoo-ass.
Looks like the community agitator is doing a great job.
