Disney places, removes ad for counterterrorism intern

Oct 17, 2015 2:38 pm By Robert Spencer

Perhaps the position was filled, or perhaps Disney didn’t want its customers knowing that it is aware that it is a target of those who want to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60). But what’s this about “face pale from recent shaving of beard” Is Disney, and its source, the TSA, suggesting that there might be some terror threat from people who are known to wear beards, i.e., Muslims? Is this some kind of implied “Islamophobia”? Expect the TSA and Disney to get strongly-worded letters from Ibrahim “Honest Ibe” Hooper of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and to revise that warning guideline forthwith — since everyone knows that 80-year-old wheelchair-bound Methodist grandmothers from Iowa are just as much of a terror threat as 25-year-old, athletic Muslim males from Pakistan.

“Is Disney Looking for a Counterterrorism Intern?,” by Lauren Walker, Newsweek, October 16, 2015:

Wanted: an intern for the Walt Disney Company. Qualifications include superior writing and research skills, effective use of Microsoft Office products and the ability to provide in-depth analysis of developing terror threats. Willingness to respond 24/7 a plus.

No, you’re not reading ClickHole. Disney is looking for a counterterrorism intern. The “Global Intelligence Analyst Intern” position is slated to begin at “the Happiest Place on Earth” in the spring of 2016. The chosen intern will assist Disney’s “counter threat” intelligence support team in compiling threat assessments, spanning “counterterrorism, physical threats, cyberattacks and all reputational risks to [Disney].” He or she will also help determine the best ways to counter these threats to ensure the safety of Mickey and Minnie’s employees, and, of course, Cinderella’s Magic Castle.

The listing was removed from Disney’s website on Friday afternoon. “It could be that they found a candidate,” a Disney spokeswoman tells Newsweek. “It could be that they don’t need that role anymore or the role has changed.”

While it may come as a surprise that Disney has a robust threat-assessment unit (interns and all), this isn’t the company’s first foray into the world of counterterrorism. In July 2009, the Transportation Security Administration trained Disney employees on how to spot potential terrorists, The Intercept reported. The training was part of the TSA’s $900 million behavior detection program, which uses a 92-item checklist to decide if a person might pose a risk. Such behaviors include but are not limited to:

-Exaggerated yawning

-Excessive throat clearing

-Whistling as the individual approaches the screening process

-Face pale from recent shaving of beard

“No single behavior alone will cause a traveler to be referred to additional screening or will result in a call to a law enforcement officer,” the TSA told The Intercept. “The program was created by TSA, using behavior analysis techniques that have been successfully employed by law enforcement and security personnel both in the U.S. and internationally.”…

    What a *happy* job that would be. 🙂

    • Saleem Smith says

      Muslims are tremendously happy when performing jihad warfare and enforcing the depraved “laws of Allah” as mandated by the the Qur’an and Muhammad’s Sunnah.

      “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60).

      Qur’an 005:033: “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment”

      We ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know that Islamic theology is a complete and total fraud.

      The great ex-Muslim Ali Sina’s ongoing challenge to Muslims can be found over at Faith Freedom.org:

      >>>>>

      The Challenge

      I receive many emails from angry Muslims, who sometimes beg me, and sometimes order me to remove this site. I consider both, pleading and bullying, signs of psychopathology. Argumentum ad baculum and argumentum ad misericordiam are both logical fallacies.

      If you do not like this site and want me to remove it, instead of acting as a bully or as a victim, disprove my charges against Muhammad logically. Not only will I remove the site, I will publicly announce that Islam is a true religion. I will also pay

      $50,000 U.S. dollars

      to anyone who can disprove the following accusations that I have made against Muhammad. I accuse Muhammad of being:

      a narcissist
      a misogynist
      a rapist
      a pedophile
      a lecher
      a torturer
      a mass murderer
      a cult leader
      an assassin
      a terrorist
      a madman
      a looter

      …These charges are irrefutable. You simply can’t disprove them because they are reported in Islamic sources and as such they are as good as confession…

        Thanks for the Ali Sina link.

        I never imagined that whining and bullying, which Muslims use so well to advance their cause, are proper logical fallacies with their own Latin names.

    Pleased to say I have it on good authority that Disney World (my favorite place in the free world) has a fair number of belligerent, politically incorrect gents working behind the scenes who see the outside world for how it is, not how we wish it would be.

    • somehistory says

      Oct 17, 2015 at 3:13 pm

      I have been *behind the scenes* at Disney World. Long before the current atmosphere developed, and it was a place of verify everyone and why anyone was where they were at a given time.
      It is viewed as a *soft target* and needs all of the diligence the employees can provide.
      I think it would be a neat position, except for the 24/7 aspect.

    Disney places, removes ad for counterterrorism intern
    …………………………….

    Well, *this* is interesting. I’m sure Disneyland would cease to be the “Happiest Place on Earth” if visited by committed Jihadists been on death and destruction.

    It seems that Disney theme parks would, in fact, be the perfect target for Jihadists hoping to make a “splash”–Infidel amusement parks famous all over the world for the sort of gentle fun that pious Muslims so hate.

    • Jay Boo says

      Oct 17, 2015 at 9:53 pm

      If enough people react only defensively and wring their hands after the fact versus taking a pro-active hunt down the instigator clerics and others wherever they may hide, then we can guarantee that there will be some Muslims who will ruthlessly exploit this soft target when the cost benefit ratio tips to their favor.

      Make sure they know that they will pay — or they will not hesitate.

    Is this a position you’de want an intern in? Maybe they can fill it with a cheaper H1B?

    • moray watson says

      Oct 18, 2015 at 1:18 pm

      How does one attain expertise as an analyzer of terrorist threats to begin with? And having done so, why would you fill such vital role, for a highly profitable entity like Disney, by volunteering as an “intern”?

      • somehistory says

        Oct 18, 2015 at 3:29 pm

        One takes anti-terrorism, public safety, etc. courses in universities that have them, It’s an interesting study. Like any job, an intern gets on-the-job experience that helps to get a position that could pay well. Disney is a soft-target and poses many risks for thousands of people.

    I will never take my kids to Disney world/land. Might, quite possibly these people are being threatened?

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 19, 2015 at 12:44 am

      Will you also avoid all shopping malls, churches, cafes, public buildings, Christmas markets, tree lighting ceremonies, subways, public buses, airplanes, supermarkets, delis, train stations, pizza restaurants and all other public places anywhere in Dar-al-Harb? In that case, you and your kids *might* be safe from ravening Jihadists.

      This has nothing, really, to do with anything Disneyland has done to make their park dangerous.

  6. Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says

    Clearly, Disneyland and almost every iconic Western corporation needs a form of facial features scanning to determine if someone entering is a terrorist. This would mean a national police presence in almost every corporation…and that may not be possible…but it might be the only effective way to prevent most terrorists.

    • Jay Boo says

      Oct 17, 2015 at 9:43 pm

      That is a purely defensive approach.

      What if (hyperthetically) every time an attack occurred a loud mouth advocator of violence against non-Muslims were to be swiftly removed from society to places unknown never to be heard from again?

    • Sue says

      Oct 18, 2015 at 4:09 pm

      Even if everyone was facially scanned firstly why should l be, l’m not a terrorist. Secondly often as not young terrorist are not known and usually blow themselves up and thirdly as you know in the USA as here in Britain, governments are propelling terrorism in order to take our human rights, including free speech and thereby controlling everyone. Don’t you think if governments wanted to end this situation they would have done. Sorry for the tone, it’s looking at the consequences and not the problem.

    Carpet kissing followers of the ‘pig bath’ ideology mistakenly believe that if only they can just find enough soft target locations to kill non-Muslims and if they bang their heads on the same prayer mat worn spot long enough after wash-up time at the mosque then the feelings of bitter emptiness will go away.
    But it always grows worse.

    Imagine the Disney “small world” take on ISIS. Perhaps cute animatronic dolls dressed in black chopping the heads off a row of other cute little animatronic dolls in orange jump suits in time to the music. Or little homosexual dolls being dropped from a model building – whee splat! Fun for all the family.

    … it’s a small world after all …

    Anyone from NY-NJ area?
    I wonder if Muslims have taken down their sign.

    “WHY ISLAM” asked the billboard sign near I-95 and Secaucus Junction /NJ transit station.
    In the distance behind the sign was lower Manhattan’s skyline where the Twin Towers once stood.
    (Yes, directly behind the sign.) In that moment I was reminded of who we are dealing with (truly).

      …i watched the film ‘the walk’ a few days ago…started crying at the end when the main character said he had been given a pass to go up to the roof that never expired…he could go up to the place of one of man’s greatest tests of courage and daring ‘forever’…

    • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

      Oct 18, 2015 at 9:34 am

      That sign is a few miles max from where the WTC towers stood. What I detect here is that the devout Moslems who put up the billboard are insensitive to the hurt caused with the mass murder of 3,000 by now deceased devout Moslems. In fact, one could argue (at his or her own risk) that the billboard is a threat to the Infidels who drive by it on Hwy 3 or I-95.

      I had always hoped to see an investigation into the then frequent charge that crowds of Moslems weeping tears of joy were literally dancing in the streets in Queens and northern NJ. I’d always hoped some video would emerge of this, which could’ve blunted Yale/Harvard Man George W. Bush’s claim that Islam is a religion of peace.

    What is the essential ingredient for Islamic terrorism? What would happen if that essential igredient were eliminated?

    Would Israel be suffering the current wave of stabings, rock throwing, fire bombs and vehicular assaults if she expelled and excluded Muslims from her territory?

    Send the Muslims home and keep them out.

    “…everyone knows that 80-year-old wheelchair-bound Methodist grandmothers from Iowa are just as much of a terror threat as 25-year-old, athletic Muslim males from Pakistan…..”

    Of course they know it, Mr.Spencer! It’s yer actual ‘logic’, innit? They’ve been frisking grey-haired grannies at UK airports for years (anarchic delinquents, the lot of them, and probably buying explosives with their pension money!). But as for all those masked and veiled walking tents, THEY just go through on the nod. Butter wouldn’t melt in their mouths would it? (well, it’s not Halal, is it?). Or maybe it’s because they look too much like Dr. Who’s Daleks with dust covers on, and you can’t rub THEM up the wrong way or else it’s – “EXTERMINATE”– Zap!!!

    The jihadists must be drooling over Disney…so many kafirs in one place. Jihadhists are probably imagining a bombed out Shia mosque in POrkistan or Iraq, From where the hordes have been allowed free entry. Trust CAIR to lay the groundwork for any attack. This is a clear example of how CAIR aids and abettes terror, using democracy and free speech to undermine and destroy host society by spreading terror and despair and gradually destroying morale, making conquest easier.

    NRA Runs New TV Commercial… with Islam

    Anybody seen the new NRA commercial with the young man who talks about if he’s attacked by a Moslem? Albeit he used the incorrect word “Muslim”, he went through a few “ifs” and resonded to each conditional that he would protect himself and his family from the attacking Moslem by use of his firearm.

    This tells me two things:

    1) The NRA has determined that fear of Moslems in this country is sufficient to rate mentioning them as a dangerous element in our revised society, and

    2) The people in the NRA aren’t afraid of Moslems running a mass murder operation on the NRA offices or on them as individuals (i.e., they are armed).

    It will be fascinating to see CAIR’s pubic reaction to this, but I’m sure that the NRA anticipates being denounced by Ibrahim Hooper, whom I call The Hoop, and looks forward to it. Their belief is that the presence of Moslems among us reinforces the desire to have guns to protect ourselves from them, regardless of the occasional school place Infidel mass murder operation.

    I grew up in Tampa,Fla,and hadn’t been back in 28 years. This past Aug. 2015, I went to a Disney park called Hollywood Studios,in Orlando. I had never seen so many Muslims,in one place in my life! Women in the black burkas,hijab,etc. I thought they couldn’t have fun( except the men)! I felt almost sick to my stomach,but tried to have a good time! I realized then, we were sitting ducks,so to speak! I remember when Disneyworld opened in 1970-71! I went opening day with my boyfriend. In those days, they had ticket booklets,$5.50 each. Of course,the price went up steadily over the years. Those were great times,before 9/11! This past Aug.I felt the need to look over my shoulder,look up,etc. For what,exactly?? Then the rain came,and it poured for an hour! I never thought I’d be glad to leave” one of the happiest places on earth”.Disney may need this counter-terrorism intern,anyway! How sad!

    Wow, you just GOTTA watch out for those nasty, horrid, wheelchair bound Methodist grandma’s who are gunning for and hell-bent on vengeance for Leon Klinghoffer’s unexpected and unwarranted swim in the Mediterranean. I mean, the religion of pieces just CANNOT be responsible for any sort of violation of Judeo Christian ethics, as they don’t apply to camel jockeys, now do they? After all, what did Genesis say about them??

    16:8. He said to her: Agar, handmaid of Sarai, whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? And she answered: I flee from the face of Sarai, my mistress.

    16:9. And the angel of the Lord said to her: Return to thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hand.

    16:10. And again he said: I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, and it shall not be numbered for multitude.

    16:11. And again: Behold, said he, thou art with child, and thou shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Ismael, because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.

    16:12. He shall be a wild man: his hand will be against all men, and all men’s hands against him: and he shall pitch his tents over against all his brethren.

    A wild man? The mentally and morally vacuous degenerates who are overwhelming Europe and the US these days couldn’t POSSIBLY be considered the owners of that Bibilical citation, now, could they? The entire Middle East upheaval of Shiite v. Sunni v. Muslim Brotherhood v. ISIS v. Fatah v. Hamas v. Kurds v. Al Queda v. just about any other distinct or indistinct faction of Islam can’t POSSIBLY have anything relation to Agar’s little guy, now, could they?

    Oh, except there *IS* this little codicil in Isaiah 10 which bears examination. Take a peek:

    Isaias Chapter 10

    Woe to the makers of wicked laws. The Assyrian shall be a rod for punishing Israel: but for their pride they shall be destroyed: and a remnant of Israel saved.
    10:1. Woe to them that make wicked laws: and when they write, write injustice:

    10:2. To oppress the poor in judgment, and do violence to the cause of the humble of my people: that widows might be their prey, and that they might rob the fatherless.

    10:3. What will you do in the day of visitation, and of the calamity which cometh from afar? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

    10:4. That you be not bowed down under the bond, and fall with the slain? In all these things his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

    10:5. Woe to the Assyrian, he is the rod and the staff of my anger, and my indignation is in their hands.

    10:6. I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will give him a charge against the people of my wrath, to take away the spoils, and to lay hold on the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

    10:7. But he shall not take it so, and his heart shall not think so: but his heart shall be set to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.

    Hmmm … so Middle Eastern camel jockeys are the rod and staff of God’s anger? And they don’t even think it so nor bear it in their hearts? WOW, so God Almighty can literally hide TRUTH from the malice filled Muslims so they just automatically behave in laying hold to the prey of Jews and Christians due to our fornications from the Sexual Revolution, along with the STD’s, the divorces, the abortions and birth control generated murders of the innocent, the homosexuality, the shacking up, the casual sex in the car away from the prying eyes of parents … but never away from the All Seeing Eye of the Almighty. Hells gates are wide open, and Catholic Churches are empty and the priesthood is in crisis. Welcome to your just deserts, western civilization, you’ve earned it.
