What illness has overtaken the people who run Twitter — and Facebook? What illness has overtaken mainstream media reporters and so much of the Western intelligentsia? Why are they so willing to abet evil?
“Hackers Say Twitter Isn’t Telling the Whole Story About Anti-Terror Fight,” by Joshua Philipp, Epoch Times, March 4, 2016:
Online activists have added fuel to the controversy over the effectiveness of Twitter’s attempts to fight ISIS supporters who use its services to spread terrorist propaganda and recruit new members.
While Twitter says it is making strong efforts to shut down terrorist accounts, activists say that not only is the microblogging company not taking down the accounts that matter, but it has even been shutting down accounts of users trying to report terrorists.
In January, a Florida woman, Tamara Fields, filed a lawsuit against Twitter, alleging that it breached the U.S. Anti-Terrorism Act by “spreading extremist propaganda,” which caused an attack in Jordan that killed her husband, a private contractor, Lloyd “Carl” Fields Jr.
Facing bad press and a lawsuit, Twitter published a blog post on Feb. 5, saying that since mid-2015 it suspended 125,000 accounts for “threatening or promoting terrorist acts, primarily related to ISIS.”
Members of the online anti-terrorist community were quick to fire back, however. They say that Twitter is taking credit for their work, and there are still many holes in its efforts to keep terrorist recruiters off its services.
Several hacker groups, including Anonymous, have rallied against ISIS under an online campaign they call #OpISIS. While most participants keep their identities hidden, most of their activities are public. They often publish lists of ISIS supporters and recruiters, and call on the community to report the accounts.
Through this campaign, Anonymous claims by Nov. 23, 2015 to have taken down more than 11,000 Twitter accounts linked to ISIS, according to a tweet from OpParisOfficial. GhostSec, another hacker group, claims it has reported 19,568 Twitter accounts promoting terrorism.
GhostSec was credited with helping prevent a terrorist attack in Tunisia, and may have helped stop another attack in New York City in 2015, according to Michael Smith, principal of national security company Kronos Advisory. Smith was GhostSec’s go-between for law enforcement and intelligence officials.
“Who suspended 125,000 accounts? Anonymous, Anonymous affiliated groups, and everyday citizens,” says a statement from WauchulaGhost, an anti-terrorist hacker with the hacker collective Anonymous, but was formerly with GhostSec.
“You do realize if we all stopped reporting terrorist accounts and graphic images, Twitter would be flooded with terrorists,” WauchulaGhost says.
Who Suspended 125,000 Twitter accounts? #OpISIS #Anonymous #GhostOfNoNation https://t.co/BR44Ie1mP6 pic.twitter.com/kIa8mabJQd
After Twitter made its announcement claiming to have shut down ISIS accounts, many participants in #OpISIS saw a very different development. Twitter began banning accounts of users who were trying to report online terrorism.
Members of the community have taken this as a slap in the face. While Twitter is telling the public it’s working to stop ISIS recruitment on its services, it has been suspending accounts of the community who are doing the actual footwork.
Sometimes the accounts get hit one-by-one, other times in groups. Members of the community sometimes rally behind account holders, and Twitter gets them back up and running quickly. Other times, the accounts may stay suspended.
For instance, on Feb. 28 close to 15 Twitter accounts of users involved in the anti-terror campaigns were suspended, including some of the top accounts involved in #OpISIS, including WauchulaGhost’s. Their supporters barraged Twitter with tweets, and most of the accounts were back online about two hours later.
WauchulaGhost said he’s still not sure what happened, noting, “I never received an email from Twitter.”
After one week, Twitter had not responded to an email inquiring why it banned the anti-terror accounts.
Some members of the community say Twitter is suspending accounts in its new campaign to stop online bullying—but that explanation has raised the question of why calling out users spreading terrorist propaganda and trying to recruit terrorists is categorized as “harassment.”
“I can say they are suspending a lot of accounts for harassment. Good accounts not Daesh accounts,” WauchulaGhost said in an interview on Twitter. “Even a lot of our (Anonymous) accounts are being suspended for harassment.”…

Resist says
No sickness except they are bought and corrupted. Ethics going down the drain when you roll yourself in dirty money…
mortimer says
How many Westerners are being bribed by Gulf money to support Islam?
How many jihadists are working for IT companies to stop the criticism of jihad?
Atheist kaffur says
There lies the problem. Money is buying many things.
Mike Proulx says
The love of money is truly the root of all evils, no question about this..
Walter Sieruk says
About that brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS. Most people know that the head and chief of that is a man who goes by the name of al Baghdadi By contrast, what few people seem to know is that al Baghdadi is just a figurehead and a puppet rulers of ISIS. That the actual and real head and chief of that heinous and dangerous jihad organization is someone else. Who that “someone else” has been exposed in the book entitled THE ISIS CRISIS by Charles Dyer. For on page 166 the author explains that “The ultimate commander of ISIS remains unseen by most of his followers, but he is not unknown. This commander is Satan himself… Satan moves across the earth ‘like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.’ [First Peter 5:8.] Therefore, the vicious jihadist thugs who compose ISIS are, in realty, vicious, malicious and deluded fools who are being use by Satan, as his stooges and tools, to inflict demonic murderous harm on humankind. So must so that those violent wicked and insanely deluded jihad savages who make up ISIS are like those callous characters described in the Bible in Ecclesiastes 9:3. That teaches “The hearts of men are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterwards they join the dead.” In addition, those malice-filled fiendish jihadists of ISIS are so very bloodthirstily, ruinous dangerous and murderous that they are similar to, in character, the hideous villains described in the Bible. Which reads “Their feet are swift to shed blood: ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know.” Romans 3:15-17. [N.I.V.]
Angemon says
Twitter has also been “shadowbanning” users whose opinions they dislike:
http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/02/16/exclusive-twitter-shadowbanning-is-real-say-inside-sources/
But yeah, ignoring criminals and punishing those who report them takes the cake.
Jack Holan says
It’s unbelievable. We need to bring back the universal draft. The people who served had a different attitude. Our Presidents who served had a different attitude.
Champ says
More madness pandering to the enemy: islam & company!
Hope says
I left Facebook a long time ago because of its left wing politics. Any conservative, anti-Sharia, or pro-Israel posts are viciously attacked by “friends” on the radical left. Not worth the time or effort.
Judi says
Simple explanation: Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal has bought a $300 million stake in Twitter.
mortimer says
Bingo. Gulf money.
So the Saudis are buying influence to remove criticism of jihad. How can we learn about their bribery of Western politicians?
R Cole says
That’s it – it is being reported that the Saudi Prince has a $300 million stake in Twitter.
But according to this article – he now has $1 billion invested in Twitter – a 5% stake.

The talk of censorship on the social network site is getting louder and louder.
In Europe one ex-Muslim claimed their comments were deleted – from as I believe – off Facebook – by a moderator in Morocco.
So here you have Islamic law possibly being imposed on Facebook.
::
There is even some suggestion that Twitter is trying to sway the US elections – by censoring comments from those on the right.
Mark Swan says
Prince Alwaleed made his initial $300 million investment in Twitter in 2011, before the company went public in 2013.
mortimer says
There is some sort of alliance between the cultural Marxists and Islam: neither one ever criticizes the other. Whether money is changing hands can only be proved by IT specialists and forensic accountants. Evidence of bribery would only be available to government agents with court orders allowing them to investigate.
Mark Zuckerberg is typical, shallow cultural Marxist if he has any philosophy at all.
Shallowness is the disease of the Millenials. They brush off criticism of jihad, because they know nothing about jihad and think it is ‘racist’ to learn about this fascist ideology. Only white people…and now Jews as well… may be criticized without someone calling ‘racist’.
DFD says
mortimer says: “…Only white people…and now Jews as well… may be criticized without someone calling ‘racist’.”
You are learning 🙂
mortimer says: “…How many Westerners are being bribed by Gulf money to support Islam?”
Vast numbers, directly and indirectly, i.e. scholarships and research projects, plus promotions and “advisory jobs”.
Before commencing, may I please recommend a website? But take a deep breath before linking to: http://www.nationaldebtclocks.org/debtclock/unitedstates
And now to give you a rough indication about the scale, a few excerpts, chopped to pieces, of something I am writing about, namely Islam and the west. Sorry if it’s a bit lengthy, but I chopped it down as far as possible. So here it is…
Since the oil embargo in the mid seventies until 2010, the OPEC countries received between 25 and 30 trillion dollars, in cash. Most of it went into the Arabian peninsula. If you don’t comprehend that number, a trillion has twelve zeros. It looks like this: 25-30,000,000,000,000.00 in other words, those countries have received since the mid seventies on average a daily amount of 2.1 billion dollars. To translate that, $2,100,000,000.per day on average, or about $24,305 per second.
More than $100 billion has been spent by Saudi Arabia alone on exporting Sunni Islam, over the past three decades. Though, it might well be more. Consider that $100 billion reads as: $100,000,000,000.00; count the zeros. The Soviets spent about $7 billion on spreading communism, from 1921 to 1991, that is $3.15 per second. One hundred billion in thirty years equals 106.00 dollars per second, there are 3,600 seconds in an hour – lean back and think.
…………………..
Peanuts. Let us assume that the Arabian peninsular countries got ‘only’ 75% or three quarters of the money, considering that they are the biggest producers. Assume further that they spend 1/3 on the well being of their very small populations, the usual budget outlay, military, police, madrassas, a free burqa for Ms. Islam, and most importantly: Investments, the tip of that iceberg is known as “sovereign wealth funds”.
Ignore the investments, just look at the cash. Yes, you are so right! They could easily raise the living standards of a nation like Bulgaria, for instance, to that of, say, the Austrians. Petty cash, nothing serious. Well that covers a third. But, those hard working kings and princes need to live somewhere, they also need yachts, aeroplanes, plenty of gold inside, hotels and estates abroad, bit of money in the piggy, sorry, camel bank. Did we miss something? Yes, palaces. Lots of these, very modern with all those things one needs, and lots of gold inside – they love gold. Thus two thirds are accounted for. Helping the poor Muslim countries? Give ’em a few pennies and then – Allah will provide!
Intermittent: What have we got so far? From 1975 to 2010 they have received more cash for oil and gas than the entire foreign debt of the US and the EU combined, as per 2015: Several times over. Combined, their gold reserves are higher than those of the US and Germany combined. Read that again. In addition they have received interest upon vast fortunes of western government bonds (just remember, that interest is paid by the western taxpayer, that’s in case you get confused), plus dividends from their investments. Stop shaking, you are spelling the Whiskey, Schnaps, Brandy or whatever it is you need to calm down. Just relax, it’ll get a lot more worse when we assess the current situation. What does this enable them to do, in early 2015? Simple, they overproduce, drive the oil price down and thus teach Putin a lesson, poor Putin, he needs an oil price of about $100.00bbl to pursue his dreams. The US, shale oil? Not at those prices Kids. Pack in – or face chapter 11! Understood?
Now, back to the real money, and we have covered so far two thirds of the OPEC gulf countries, yes, those Islam promoters.
That leaves the final third for Islam itself, fighting fund. To go among the infidels, establish cultural ‘groups, centres, multiculti communal things/entities, and all that. Whoops, nearly forgot, how about donations and scholar ships? Very useful, particularly when you threaten to cut these. Buying shares in Newspapers, for instance, is also very useful, among other investments. And let us not forget to take out subscriptions in newspapers, say somewhere between 100,000 and 300,000 subscriptions, or more. Not that they read all these or use them as loo paper, it’s just in case one has to advice the publisher that, in sha Allah, those subscriptions may have to be cancelled – unless some undue criticism ends. And is replaced instead with….. What do you think? Yes, that helps to promote friendly politicians, to promote Islam; and to clobber those Nazis, Islamophobes, Haters, Bigots, Fascists – come on, fill in the blanks.
Right, so where does that leave us, would that remaining, the final one third, would that be depleted after ‘all’ those outlays of the two thirds in the paragraphs above. And remember, we are talking about the period from 1975 to 2010. Well, time is up, I hope your calculators didn’t melt.
The expenditure above would barely register. To help you, a recap, $25-30 trillion, average $27.5 trillion, that comes to $2.1 billion per day, times 75%, and one third of that equals, yep, $6,076.00 – per second. Please remember, 3,600 seconds per hour, 24 hours per day, et cetera est. Fun isn’t it? What difficulties in visualization and relating do you have? OK, I’ll help. Let’s assume you earn a modest $/€100,000 per year, not exactly modest, but… Now divide your annual income of $100,000 by $6,076, and yes! It’ll take the gulf states a whopping 16.5 seconds to earn as much as you do in a year, assumed you earn 100,000 per year. Oh, and just to remind you, that was for the remaining third. They receive three times as much, don’t forget the other two thirds. Indeed, to get $100,000 out of the full three thirds requires them to wait for a whopping 5.5 seconds, then they have ‘earned’, that is paid by us, $100,000.00, equal to what you earn in a year. I hope you begin to comprehend; now put your Quran and those Hadiths away. And remember, that was oil income only, not interest on government bonds nor dividends from shares. Such incomes are by now hefty percentages of the oil income.
Question, what does jihading cost? Who pays for the boats, dingies, and buses? Smart phones and prepaid debit cards, magically topped up for the first few months after their arrival. Let’s see, three million refugees in 2½ years, at about $/€ 4,000 per person, that’s 12,000 million Euros or Dollars; that’s correct, 12 thousand million. What do you think about $12,000,000,000.00? OK, we keep on staying with the remaining third: ($12Giga / $6,076per sec) equals 33 minutes. So that’s how long the gulf states have to wait to be able to pay for the “refugee transfer” of three million Muhajiroun into Europe, 33 minutes. What do you think how that compares with the Wehrmacht’s invasion cost for Russia, Operation Barbarossa? Or with the Allied D-Day landings, Operation Overlord. Don’t bother, I don’t know the numbers and I can’t be bothered. But be sure, in today’s money, it was a lot more than 12 billion dollars, for either one. And it took the Germans and the Allies a lot more than 33 minutes waiting to get the cash to cover their respective invasion costs. Remember, we are talking only about oil money, Petrodollars, not the additional return on investments.
How would that look like from Eisenhower’s point of view? Three million invading troops, between 3,000 thousand and 5,000 drowned. To keep things easy we will ignore that many of those were murdered Christians, thus they will be counted as invading Muhajiroun, that is to say under cover Mujahideen. Also known as “refugees”. Say 5,000 drowned, so 5k/3Mega = 0.167% – what a loss for an invading army. Again, 0167%, could somebody comfort Eisenhower’s spirit please? That uncontrolled sobbing from his grave…
Is it considerable, conceivable? Think about it, as an example: Imagine somebody would have put to Eisenhower the following invasion proposal, “We send a few women and babies along, the troops will be unarmed, easy travel. Total losses will be <0.2%, and not by enemy fire, but by drowning. The axis powers will welcome them, house and feed them, whilst our troops will make demands. Their culture must be respected, and our laws must be installed. The axis powers, and even the French, Spaniards and Scandinavians will concede to all our demands. Not only that, all those powers will actually pay us $23,306.00 per second on average, and that includes our fellow Americans and the Canadians. After all, they are very stupid. Sir, what do you think of this plan?”
Eisenhower smiles friendly and replies: “That is a wonderful idea! Now you just wait, I have some guys coming who'll bring a nice white jacket with very long sleeves. And they will look after you.”…………………. excerpts end
Reuben Scratton says
“Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”.
I bet a team within Twitter have been trying to automate terrorist account detection and the anti-terror accounts got caught up in the sweep. From a dumb computers point of view the anti-terror accounts probably score highly for terror-related measurements (e.g. number of known jihadists followed, etc).
mortimer says
Plausible. How would we find out?
Reuben Scratton says
I guess we wait to see if it’s a one-off or not. Twitter has under 4,000 employees and over 300,000,000 active users. Automation’s the only way they can hope to police effectively.
marc says
very possible, I work in IT Sec, and yep, 99% of banning I do is automated, and the number of false positives might be low, but when a good guy gets blocked, the make a lot of noise.
but with this involvement http://fortune.com/2015/10/07/saudi-prince-twitter-stock/, who knows.
Laurence says
What I’d like to know is where are other entrepreneurial software programmers, who are strong believers and upholders in free speech, that are willing to develop new, alternative social platforms to compete with the likes of Facebook, Twitter and the like.
Why no competition?
marc says
I have spent every spare waking hour over the last couple of months looking into open source alternatives, many projects were started over the last 4 years, they all seem to die off, or fork into safe spaces for just the techs themselves.
diasporafoundation.org very difficult to use, built in chat is very buggy, had 200k funding as a start up, technically brilliant, secure, but now scratching for pennies to fund further meaningful development, I have tested multiple installs. uses ruby / rails horrid to manage. great integration with WordPress. mostly tech and manga people using it. really secure, cant say that enough. but missing too much to be attractive to the counter jihad movement.
friendica.com, probably has the widest usage, very easy to setup, not as secure as diaspora, bit flakey, chat requires a separate account, no reliable autopost from wordpress. very diverse usage, swingers groups to pet breeders.
pump.io, looked so exiting, flyweight, but development has been way to slow, framework is horrid to work with if you dont know it well (no apache or nginx), could be viable in 10 years which is how long it will take with no funding and 2 devs only putting in a couple of hours a week as they are now. I couldn’t get it running using their latest code, but checking their demo site, neither can they now, though I’ve seen it running well before.
hubzilla.org too unfinished, not enough features, seems secure, just setting up an instance now to see solid it is.
There is quite a large move to developing p2p social networking which gives you security, lots of drive that way, but it will never be adopted by the masses, far too cumbersome, we want it on all our devices, and they seem to miss that.
While there are a huge number of people complaining about FB and twitter, privacy, security and bias, but few in the CJ movement who are doing anything about it, infact spending the last couple of months moving around the forums where such concerns are discussed, we have no friends, and i have had to discuss the project with my peers using another identity. Sadly even the privacy and freespeech advocates bought the “islamophobia” lie, very sad for me, as I know they are some very bright and talented people.
Donna says
That’s bullshit, Anonymous is Islam too on Twitter, they demonstrated that by 1st trying to take down the Trump site, then going after Turkey
Dan says
While I think Anonymous are a bunch of blackmailing hacker thugs, Trump is the epitome of crony capitalism; a lying swindling bloviated sack of ***t who bribes and buys politicians, and switches beliefs according to whichever way the fiscal winds blow.
And I spent several months in Turkey. It’s as Islam as they come. They just put on the nicey face while trying to get into the EU
Donna says
Agreed. Every single candidate is part of that crony “club” tho, and I don’t see a better option from the available choices.
Kesselman says
Since times memorable it has been a major offence to, in one way or another, to propagate an enemy’s evil intent. Modern times new sources of inflicting confusion in civic society. Daesh has certainly been able to catch up with the electronic means. The terror hubs have to be eliminated wherever to be found.
knightsstrength says
Good to see so many positive people who fight for freedom and rights against Islam. So many of you so clever leaves this dummy for dead and never know you where find the time to fight when every day flies for me and never achieve what you .
This is a battle as as a Clint Eastward movie, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
The Good, are those like us that like to keep our rights
The Bad, are the politicians, the globalist and those that want to break down the true Christianiy, taking away our rights and replacing them with defacto issues, Gay rights, Gay marriage to publically flaunt over the rights of others, moving the age children to younger for sexuality and violence than letting children be children. Worst offender is the trash in movies, violence and sex and how we allow our children to view all this.
It is amazing what one can learn from history and discovering the many links that takes one back and forwards through time with new words and reason behind them that the goodside of the internet allows one to discover provided the page not takenbdown to share.
Just reading the other day how Chelsea Clinton as young teenager influenced Bill and Hiliary to Islam that we see Common Core in education to indoctrinate, and the other Bill turning Blind eye to the Serbian Christian slaughter 1991, the continuation of the Ustaša with the help of the Catholic Church.
Some things to look up ;
Ratlines
Operation Paperclip
Kissinger and the Nazis Spies
USA financing Hitler, Prescott Bush, GP Morgan, Rockefeller, Ford and companies helping Nazism, including Papacy
There are many links between globalist, Nazism, Papacy, Islam if one searches. Waffen SS, Handschar.
The Bad The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Amin al-Husseinial-Husseini and how Islam is built on a lie that even Carbon dating the Quran puts it during and before Muhammad. If so who wrote, translated, plagerised the Bible, Khadijah, Waraqa, and who helped them to convert from one of the many divisions of Christianity at that time, that Constantine tried earlier to unite. One read was the Popes influenced Khadijah, Waraqa, to rid all other divisions of Christianity that led to the Inquisition but really started well before our known ones and still exists today in forced conversions in Mexico, Africa.
WW1&2 we forgetcwe fought Islam, Turkey, Waffen SS, but lots ofthe reasons behind so complicated. Love to find the clear link to the Blackhand and Young Bosnians to say Islam reaaly started it. So much material dig through including Wilhellm II and his tadte for Islam and the Armenian story.
I left Facebook ages ago, Twitter still there trying to educate the best way I can. Make a few small errors but hopefully right.
Ginger says
Saudi Arabian money. From the UK Guardina newspaper:
“Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal and his investment firm now own more than 5% of Twitter, his office has said.
Kingdom Holding has paid $50m to double its stake in the microblogging site to 0.72%, the Riyadh-based company said in a separate bourse statement on Wednesday.
The prince personally has a 4.45% stake in Twitter, according to Reuters’ calculations. The statement from his office did not say whether that had changed.
The Saudi billionaire and Kingdom Holding first invested $300m in Twitter in 2011. Prince Alwaleed owns 95% of Kingdom Holding.”
They have realised the power of controlling western media and will take full advantage of it.
Stephen5970 says
Considering that Twitter is slowly going bankrupt it may not be around much longer. Dropping users who report criminal activity and the resulting negative publicity isn’t exactly helping its fortunes.
Between its massive debt, and finally users realising that there is more to life than hanging on to every thought coming out of Miley Cyrus, Twitter’s days are numbered.
It has yet to make any profit since it began. Twitter has floated an idea about raising the number of characters to 1000, which sort of defeats its concept, believing this may save it.
Ho hum. Maybe people will once again lift their heads up and begin conversing with each other. Oh, right; texting. Well, it was a thought…
Donna says
This comment “Twitter is slowly going bankrupt” just put the biggest smile on my face just now. Thank you for posting that, it made my day
