Al-Qaeda Chatter on UseNet?
Free Republic Exclusive ^ | Nov. 21, 2002 | Johnathan Galt

Posted on 11/21/2002 5:06:10 PM PST by JohnathanRGalt

There exists a series of 'nonsense' postings in Usenet. (Please no jokes about Usenet already being full of nonsense). Obviously computer generated.  These often have Arabic names interspersed in the content.

One speculation is they might just be 'merry pranksters' posting vast amounts of nonsense to confuse Usenet readers.

Another speculation is this might be the 'increased al-Qaeda chatter' we hear about when the Home Land Security changes the color to a redder hue. Note the increase just after Dec. 22 (the date that the Shoe Bomber was captured trying to blow up Miami to Paris, flight AA 63). We need to do a lot more research on this.

Operation Overloard ( www.leesaunders.com/html/Overlord.htm ) -- was the code name for the invasion of mainland Europe. On June the 6th 1944, D-Day, the Allies mounted the biggest naval invasion force ever seen in the history of war, with over 6,000 vessels. The successful invasion of Northern France allowed the Allies to create the long awaited second front in Europe.

The track starts with radio messages in French which were broadcasted from London. These codedThe Longest Day messages passed on important information to the French Resistance, who were working in occupied France. Such a message would have alerted the French Resistance of the impending invasion, allowing the Resistance to create confusion and disruption within German-held France.

[Woman/Femme]:
Qu'est-ce que c'est? (What is it?)

[Radio]:
Les sanglots longs des violons de l'automne. Je repete: Les sanglots longs des violons de l'automne...
(Long sobs of autumn violins. I repeat: Long sobs of autumn violins)

[Man/Homme]:
Et cette fois vous allez combattre sur la terre de France.
Dans nos campagnes. Dans nos villages. Sous les yeux des notres.

(And this time you will fight on land of France. In our country. In our villages. Before our eyes.)

[Radio]:
Ici radio Londres. Voici notre huitieme bulletin d'information. Mais voici, tout d'abord, quelques messages personnels. Demain, la melasse deviendra du cognac. Demain, la melasse deviendra du cognac. Jean a de longues moustaches. Je repete...
(This is radio London. This is our eighth information bulletin. But first, a few private messages. Tomorrow, treacle will turn to brandy. Tomorrow, treacle will turn to brandy. John has a long moustache. I repeat...)

[Woman/Femme]:
Vite, il faut se depecher! (Lets go! We have to hurry up!)

[Radio] :
Jean a de longues moustaches. (John has a long moustache.)



I did some searches of Google (Usenet) groups, for example "Moustapha Rais", or "Saad Rais":  Rais is an Indonesian name. Moustapha Lebanese or Turkish. Saad is Saudi. I doubt that many male Indonesians emigrated to Saudi Arabia and had a bunch of kids.  Therefore Rais and Moustapha don't often appear together in the same name. I put in their names and then scanned the postings for nonsense text. Names of posters are often forged anyway.

Sometimes appearing in popular but unmoderated groups such as  rec.collecting.sport.hockey or soc.men always only one thread.  Mostly ignored by other people in the group -- once and a while someone complains.  

http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=%25Dea9.662%24Za.34883734%40newssvr16.news.prodigy.com

Certainly postings of garbage are 'off-topic'.

For the most part, messages are usually being sent to groups that no one reads -- or would ever complain about:

news.admin.net-abuse.email -- A high volume group that is used to used to make a record of SPAM reports, no one reads it unless they are commenting on a previous spam report.
 
alt.test or gnu.gnusenet.test -- high volume group for test postings, no one reads them.

Click 'View Original Format' on the right side of these posting.  I looked first for the 'NNTP-Posting-Host',  First put IP address in http://www.checkdomain.com/ this is usually good for American (ARIN) or Asian IPs. If the IP is 'RIPE', then check European addresses with:  http://www.ripe.net/perl/whois

If that wasn't available I report the  'X-Trace' (need some help on deciphering this).

Some posters used an anonymous services such as Cotse.net to post their nonsense text. Obviously, someone thinks it is important to keep their location secret while they post nonsense text to the internet. A court order would be required to get the actual posters IP address.

I think it might be the American missionary who was over in Lebanon helping Palestians and who was shot to death -yesterday, I think.

"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"

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.

I think she was shot on the street. It could well be the mother who was shot in her home in a settlement along with her children. So many possibilities, yes?

If you're going to attempt any type of rational discourse with tlbshow, my advice to you would be to get sloshed first.........his replies might then begin to make sense to you.

Good Find. Never forget or whitewash the horror.

Why do we have to be PG here anyway. The TV bozos won't show this stuff (except the international channels).

Thanks for posting.
