Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Social media giants allow jihadis to act with impunity, fail to report a single one to cops

Mar 7, 2018 10:19 am By Robert Spencer

At the same time, they’re cracking down hard on those who oppose jihad terror and their far-Left agenda.

Meanwhile, Rowley continues his despicable practice of equating jihadis with “far-right extremists” as if they posed an equivalent terror threat, when usually what the British government means by “far-right extremists” is those who oppose the jihadis. The “far-right extremists” are not plotting terror attacks, or boasting of their imminent takeover of the government. Nor are they part of an international movement. Rowley’s moral equivalence only saps the strength of resistance to jihad and Islamization in Britain, and trivializes the reality of the jihad threat.

“Social media giants are allowing Jihadists to ‘act with impunity’ after failing to report a SINGLE potential extremist to terror police,” by Tim Sculthorpe, Mailonline, March 6, 2018:

Social media giants have not given British police a single tip-off over terrorist material on their websites.

Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Twitter are allowing jihadists to ‘act with impunity’ by uploading beheading videos and bomb-making manuals, the country’s most senior counter-terror officer said yesterday.

The internet companies have not made any direct referrals to the police about extreme content, even though it has inspired deadly attacks.

Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, the outgoing chief of UK counter-terror policing, said they are threatening public safety to maximise ‘profit and customer satisfaction’.

His remarks raise the spectre of terrorists freely plotting online to carry out atrocities against the UK before the police become aware of them.

Web giants face calls to tighten online security after Britain was hit by five attacks in London and Manchester last year. The attacks left 36 people dead and all of them had an online component.

Speaking at a counter-terror conference in London, Mr Rowley said social media firms should work with police in the same way banks had been made to co-operate on tracing dirty money.

He said: ‘Those extremists who utilise cyber space have proved highly influential and dangerous actors.

‘They have successfully encouraged, directed, enabled and promoted terrorist attacks with the click of a mouse or the tap of a screen.

‘The online extremists seem able to act with impunity, occupying spaces owned and managed by legitimate and very wealthy corporations.

‘I am disappointed that in the UK as a police service we are yet to receive a direct referral from them when they have identified such behaviour.’

Last night Twitter responded by saying that 95 per cent of terrorist content was removed using purpose-built technology and 75 per cent of accounts were suspended before their first tweet.

They are effectively private tenants to their communication service provider landlords. In the real world if a landlord knew their property was being used to plan or inspire terrorist attacks you would expect them to show corporate responsibility by informing the authorities and evicting them forthwith. We want to see those same standards applied in the virtual world.

The web giants have set up the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism to clamp down on extreme content.

Calling for a whole-society response to the terror threat – from both Islamist and right-wing extremists – Mr Rowley said 14 potential plots had been thwarted last year….

    How many of those plots were from right-wing extremists? He doesn’t say…

      The answer is four…

      http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-43200966

      From the 95% of the population which is non-Mohammedan. 10 from the 5% which follows the Religion of Peace.

      36 deaths, many of them teenage girls at a pop concert, versus one Muslim who was having a heart attack anyway when Darren Osbourne carried out his “right wing” attack.

      I’d be interested to see the final score for “hate crime” prosecutions for nasty posts on social media but I suspect it would look similarly one sided.

      Basically our government is on their side.

    FACEBOOK’s motto is a total LIE, since FACEBOOK is now the STOOGE of TOTALITARIAN GOVERNMENTS.

    FACEBOOK’s new motto should be “TO MAKE THE WORLD MORE CENSORED and ENCARCERATED and VOICELESS”.

    FACEBOOK is COLLABORATING with the EXTERMINATION of both DISSENT and the DISSENTERS.

    FACEBOOK is taking away the VOICE of OPPRESSED PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.

    SHAME! Boycott FACEBOOK.

    • Steven RSA says

      Mar 7, 2018 at 11:27 am

      Don’t boycott Facebook, maintain a presence. Post screenshots of JW articles and other relevant information, instead of links. I would think that content of photographs of text is more difficult to censor and block.

    It could be claimed that there is a conspiracy, without fealty to any nation, to permanently divide the powerful and the powerless; a conspiracy which goes by the name of Globalism. That the effects, of such a real or imagimary conspiracy, exist is without question. The only question is if they are by design, a real conspiracy, or just the cumulative product of worldwide corporate and political greed.

    The left wants a world of forced wealth distribution and shared power, much like Islam with its zakat and jizya – and see clearly that it can only be gained by alliance with Globalization in a world where all cultures are declared equal and mixed into an unidentifiable mass. Of course, that is just another incarnation of corrupt, two-level, communism.

    This time around, global business and political leaders are on the same page to bring about a new Feudal System that uses jobs and financial instruments instead of land ownwership to enslave the masses. The new “citizen” is offered easy consumption, then burdened with debt(also by universities), and offered the lowest paying job possible. The Left seems unaware of this trap.

    Globalization has killed local unafilliated business and created consolidation cum monopolies unimagined by Standard Oil when it was broken up for controlling markets.

    The US media giant owners consider themselves the “smartest guys in the room” and have no loyalty to any country. They will be the seditious political forces of the future, beyond their current political interference, unless the nation insists on fealty. They do comply to governments if threatened.

    When the media giants won’t stop anything that undermines the cohesiveness of nations, they are just following their economic and power interests. They want unidentifiable culture and consumer/slaves.

      Excellent post, Westman, except that there is no question – the globalist conspiracy is real, not imaginary.

    • LeftisruiningCanada says

      Mar 8, 2018 at 11:32 am

      Yes, good points Westman.

      With regards to this sentence, “Globalization has killed local unafilliated business and created consolidation cum monopolies”, i would like to put it in the context of our own responsibility in the demise of local business. We have all contributed to this by choosing to buy our goods and services elsewhere.

      It has not, on the whole, ‘been done to us’ against our will, with exceptions admitted of course.

      “The prices were cheaper” they say, and they would be right. And if the cost of the thing we were buying had been the only factor, it would be true. But if the wider costs of outsourcing and business closure were considered, perhaps in the long run those ‘cheaper’ goods have turned out to be far more expensive.

    It’s only about MONEY. As FB is first and foremost a GLOBALIST company ALL muslims are considered good customers AND cheap labour force.

    • LeftisruiningCanada says

      Mar 8, 2018 at 11:26 am

      Are we really able to rule out all ideological considerations, and reduce the entire complex web of motivations making up human nature to a single thing like “money”?

      They will want money, of course, since it enables many other things to be done. But are we really going to say that their plans and desires stop there?

      • MFritz says

        Mar 8, 2018 at 12:45 pm

        Zuckerberg doesn’t want to “cure” the world of wrong thinking. He ONLY wants money.

        And the most demand for “thought control” is incited by leftists. So, no wonder FB panders to them first. But they also pander to Erdogan, Middle Eastern regimes and the Chinese government.

        Apart from that, FB doesn’t want to pay taxes (in the US), freely expand into new countries (without the pesky first amendment), most certainyl no control to whom they sell their customers data etc. pp. So globalist interests are also a strong aspect.

        Besides, other globalists also pay for FB supporting them.

        • LeftisruiningCanada says

          Mar 8, 2018 at 3:08 pm

          “He ONLY wants money.”

          How can we prove that?

          ” Erdogan, Middle Eastern regimes and the Chinese government.”

          All quite authoritarian, big State advocates. so yes, they would like the idea of controlling what people think.

          “Zuckerberg doesn’t want to “cure” the world of wrong thinking”

          I must offer some disagreement on this point. There’s no denying that he and his buddies are all after lots of money and influence. That goes without saying.

          But he has shown quite a bit of interest in immigration policy and educational reform (increased State educational goal etc).

          The immigration issue seems to be one of his main political interests. His FWS.us group was all about that. Although it does claim to be lobbying for stronger borders, it also wants to make it easier for people to get citizenship “including those who are present in the United States illegally.”

          He came out quite vocally against President Trumps visa ban.

          He also came out with supportive messages for muslim communities after the attacks in Paris.

          I won’t include a list of URLs to support what i’m getting at, but just google “mark zuckerberg politics” and take a quick look at the first page of articles alone.

          Like this one:

          The speech will only increase speculation that Mr Zuckerberg harbours political — and even presidential — ambitions, as he advocated for the exploration of specific policies such as a universal basic income, affordable childcare and healthcare that is not tied to a single employer.

          He also suggested support for criminal justice reform, continuous eduction and the redistribution of wealth. “Giving everyone the freedom to pursue purpose isn’t going to be free. People like me should pay for it — and a lot of you are going to do really well and you should too,” he said, addressing the departing students.

          https://www.ft.com/content/bc384cea-4186-11e7-9d56-25f963e998b2

          Far from not being a republican or a democrat, the policies he talks about are firmly on the Left….with strong hints of actual communism.

          As i said, i can’t simply right this guy, or others, off as just money hungry scrooge types. They have plans and goals for the world, and the power to work towards them.

          Man, check this article out:

          ““We are in the first half of the first inning,” said Ken Mehlman, the former RNC chairman and campaign manager for George W. Bush’s 2004 reelection, who is leading CZI’s public policy advisory board on a volunteer basis. “[Zuckerberg and Chan] are thinking in terms of achieving social change over decades, not in terms of politics or years or election cycles.”

        Money and power are the ends. The ideologies are the means.

        • LeftisruiningCanada says

          Mar 8, 2018 at 3:10 pm

          In relation to my comment above, i would restructure your statement as:

          Money is the means to power for the sake of effecting ideological goals.

        • StellaSaidSo says

          Mar 8, 2018 at 3:31 pm

          For the globalists, the ideologies are the means. They are using Marxism and Islam to achieve their goal of global political and economic dominance.

        • LeftisruiningCanada says

          Mar 8, 2018 at 5:52 pm

          But a means to what? Only power for powers sake?

          Sure, men like power, that’s part of what we as humans are.

          But i also see a desire to create a society in their own image, arranged and structured as they believe it should be. Young idealists like M Zuckerberg seem to genuinely have visions for what they think will be a better world.

          People like that, the committed faithful ones, may end up making the worst kinds of dictator, because they are doing it for your own good.

      Along with:

      “Freedom is Slavery”
      “Ignorance is Strength”

      “Islam is a Religion of Peace”
      “Christianity is Right Wing Extremism”
      “I’m from the Government, and I’m here to help you”

    Pretending that the global crime-gang called islam is a “race” of poor swarthy animal-people, oppressed by the mentally superior whites, in order to slander everyone who notices it’s a crime-gang as a hatefully bigoted “racist” – is to deliberately enable that crime-gang’s crimes by hiding and destroying the evidence of same, and thus to be a willing accessory to those crimes. Since islam is a murder-gang, and the penalty for committing and enabling the commission of murder is DEATH, anyone and everyone who calls an opponent of muslims, islam, and their global jihad, a “racist!” should be lawfully put to death.

    Everyone who defends islam and muslims endorses crime.
    Endorsing crime IS a crime, so those doing it are criminals.

    Right in the Qur’an is: the obligation to murder Jews and Christians (Surah 9:29), to terrorize all non-Muslims (8:12), to rape young girls (65:4), to enslave people for sex (4:3), to lie about one’s true goals (3:54), and the command to make war on all the infidels (9:123) and subjugate the entire world to Allah (9:33).

    Are death-threats legal? NO.
    Is extortion legal? NO.
    Is slavery legal? NO.
    Is murder legal? NO.
    Is rape legal? NO.

    THEN ISLAM IS ILLEGAL!

    Rape, slavery, robbery, extortion and murder are never OK!

    Everything muslims pretend to see as “holy” is already a crime!

    So nobody has a legal right to practice islam anywhere on earth!

    IN TRYING TO MAKE CRITICISM OF THE GLOBAL CRIME GANG CALLED “ISLAM” INTO A CRIME, TO PROTECT THAT CRIME GANG BY HIDING THE EVIDENCE OF ITS CRIMES, SUCH PEOPLE AS THE SOCIAL MEDIA GIANTS’ OWNERS ARE CRIMINALS AND TRAITORS TO RATIONALITY, CIVILIZATION, AND HUMANITY ITSELF.

    And, hadn’t you heard?! Being angry at (“hateful” towards) criminals is now the most vile sin, while pitying (“tolerating”) them all as “fellow victims,” is to be deemed the highest moral virtue, these days!

    Having no facts, logic, or reasonable arguments with which to defend their own crimes and treason, they must in stead substitute this global attempt to control our very thinking – through an emotional, sub-conscious “narrative” – so much so, that the only advice we hear from “our” hypocrite governments, their pet media, and the corporazi globalist banksters who own them all, seems to invariably be:

    “Anyone who doesn’t automatically pity all criminals as fellow victims should be hated!”

    Which is why hurting the feelings of criminals by accusing them of their crimes, is now a “hateful” crime itself!
