U.S. Company Covering for Taliban (Maybe Unknowingly)
The Voice of Jihad ^

Posted on 11/29/2009 1:23:32 PM PST by StarCMC

Usually in these posts I show you how YouTube is helping the terrorists by allowing them server space for their enemy propaganda at no charge.  Today, however, I'm going to show you how a different U.S. company is helping the Taliban hide their information by being a proxy domain holder for the official Taliban website, the Voice of Jihad (link is anonymized.)  



First - the evidence of terror-supporting activities on this site --  when you first open the site, you'll notice a scrolling graphic of military members (mostly U.S. and British)  who have been killed by the terrorist Taliban, and a list of "news" items which consist of propaganda pieces.






Then there are articles like this one:










And this:






Pure, unadulterated enemy propaganda.


And then there's the Eid Mubarak address from leader Mullah Omar in which he declares:
This is a farce weapon in the hands of your rulers under the colonialist pretext of fight against terrorism. Thus they want to throw dust into the eyes of people. It is the demand of your conscience and moral duty to raise your voice for the prevention of this savagery...

(H/T Rusty at Jawa Report)

The who.is information for The Voice of Jihad is:





The U.S. based company, Active Domains, is holding the domain for the Taliban by proxy.  To be fair, they most likely do not know that this website is the Taliban - they probably hold hundreds of website domains by proxy and I'm sure have not checked into each and every one of them.  At their site, they have their TOS posted, which include this portion:

By registering a name or applying for services you also represent that the statements in its application are true and you also represent that the Domain Name is not being registered for any unlawful purpose.

As you can see, the only contact information on the whois registration is gcw6iky060@whoisproof.com.  I sent them an email on Friday, and would encourage you to do the same.

Via email at the only contact point I could find, yes. There is contact information at their site, but you had to sign in as a customer of their service, which I am not, so I used the contact email address from the WhoIs page. I sent on Friday - it’s a holiday weekend, so I’m not surprised that I haven’t heard/seen anything yet. But if they don’t act within the next few days, I think we should turn up the heat.

Who is posting this:

Notice in the text copied from this site:a Muslim military officer at an American base in Fort Hood, with his two colleagues opened fire on soldiers...

I remember reading on this site, and hearing some news stories that there were 2 other shooters... where are they now?

Ask yourself why these bass turds are laughing and we aren’t. It seems a simple matter that we get to term limits and single issue bills. Why should some congress-slut get a billion dollar deal (aka payoff) to vote for obammycare tacked on to some bill totally irrelevant. Something is wrong here while Amerika sleeps and these dentured wonders laugh and laugh. Whose government is this again?

This was posted by an admin at the Taliban website. Can’t tell who the admin is, as the domain holder is a proxy — that is, all the private info on the REAL domain owner is hidden.

And yes - I caught that too about 2 accomplices. It’s part of the reason I took screen caps. I’m not sure why that’s there. It could be that there really WERE two accomplices and it’s been swept under the rug. It could be that the admin didn’t have current info when he posted this. It could be that he DID have current info, but in the spirit of propaganda (which is what that entire website is) he posted that there were accomplices to somehow make Hasan seem more powerful.

Hey — if you think of it, would you ping me when you post stuff about internet/terrorism stuff? I noticed that you’ve posted several items that I’ve been interested in reading! :-)

Hi StarCMC, I don’t have a ping list.

You can monitor key words or monitor my posts.
