Im not a hacker by any means but I applaud the fact that anonymous would like to stop the terrorist use of social media as a outlet for information transferal and recruitment. There are many great hackers out there that I feel would be a great help in the war on terror by tracking and locating confirmed terrorists and perhaps giving this information to authorities for disposal. I know the government doesn't always do what we agree is best for the people and I understand the need for social change but in this situation I feel those of you that are advanced enough to elude the powers that stand could indeed be a great service to humanity even in a Anonymous capacity. And let us not forget that Terrorists are a very small percentage of the world and not all are Muslim and not all Muslims are jihadists.

Thanks

Obama releases 5 Gitmo detainees right after Charlie Hebdo killings

Published on Jan 15, 2015
The Obama administration drew fire Thursday from a growing list of frustrated lawmakers over the release of more Guantanamo detainees -- this time Yemeni terrorists to the volatile Arabian Peninsula -- as concerns mount over the spreading threat of Islamic terrorism, and the administration's refusal to publicly call out Islam's radical elements.

The Department of Defense announced Wednesday that five Yemeni terror suspects held at Guantanamo Bay were released -- with four of the five heading for Oman, Yemen's neighbor.

The release comes despite knowledge that one of the two assassins who carried out the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris traveled to Yemen in 2011, and met with the radical American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.

"The administration continues to transfer Guantanamo detainees while providing virtually no details to the American people regarding the risk the detainees present to our country and our allies, as well as the detainees' affiliations with terrorist groups and the conditions of their transfer," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said in a statement on the releases.

They also cited reports that Oman may have been the entry point for the Paris attacker who traveled to Yemen. "We just sent four Guantanamo detainees, with potential ties to al Qaeda, to Oman -- the same country that reportedly served as the jumping off point" for that travel, they said.

Amid the drive to release Guantanamo prisoners, more evidence is mounting that Islamic terrorism is spreading around the world -- including a claim of responsibility by Al Qaeda in Yemen for the Paris terror attacks, and the unchecked slaughter of thousands in Nigeria by Boko Haram. Police in Belgium also claimed Thursday to have stopped a "Belgian Charlie Hebdo," with government agents killing at least two in raids aimed at jihadists returning from Syria who were planning to launch terrorist attacks.

The administration is taking heat not only for the Gitmo transfers, but for its refusal to publicly call out radical Islam as the common thread in these attacks.

"The president of the United States has concluded that the War on Terror has reached a point that we can safely release people from Gitmo," Graham told Fox News on Wednesday. "The best I can say about him is he's unfocused. That's delusional thinking. The War on Terror has reached a lethal phase, and it is insane to be letting these people out of Gitmo to go back to the fight."

The Defense Department stresses that most detainees released under this administration "live quietly" in locations around the world. Asked about the latest transfers to Oman, a Defense spokesman said such a decision is only made after "detailed, specific conversations with the receiving country about the potential threat a detainee may pose after transfer and the measures the receiving country will take in order to sufficiently mitigate that threat.

"If we do not receive adequate security and humane treatment assurances, the transfer does not occur," the spokesman said.

Though Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and militants in that region are asserting themselves once again as a global threat, other Islamist groups and self-radicalized operatives are posing grave security risks to dozens of countries. In Iraq and Syria, the Islamic State continues to hold ground in its war against the governments there and its quest for its own nation state.

In Nigeria, the terror group Boko Haram has seized territory said to be the size of the Islamic State's, while committing mass murders against the civilian population. Earlier this month, as many as 2,000 people were slaughtered by the terror group, rights groups say.

The Paris terror attack and the raid in Belgium were reminders of the threat from cells in Western Europe.

Truly disgusting people. FYI Toorak includes some of the most expensive property in Australia.

A MELBOURNE family trust is trying to cash in on the Paris terror attacks by applying to trademark the phrases “Charlie Hebdo” and “je suis Charlie” in Australia.
Just over a week after two masked gunmen forced their way into the offices of the French satirical newspaper and killed 12 people, the M & G Besser Family Trust has made a joint application to trademark both names.
Both applications were lodged on January 12 — just five days after the massacre.
The claim for the phrase “Je Suis Charlie” covers electronic desktop publishing, magazine publishing, publishing by electronic means, publishing of books, and publishing of printed matter.
The “Charlie Hebdo” claim covers clothing, footwear and headgear.
If successful the trust could stop others from using the two phrases, or charge a licence to do so, across clothing and electronic media.
The address for the trustee of the trust is listed as a Toorak address.
Last year Intellectual Property Australia came under fire from friends of MH17 plane victims for accepting a trademark application for the term “MH17”.

Why I Am Not Charlie

"Why I Am Not Charlie" - a thoughtful article that's worth reading.

http://paper-bird.net/2015/01/09/why-i-am-not-charlie/

We lose our ability to imagine political solutions when we stop thinking critically, when we let emotional identifications sweep us into factitious substitutes for solidarity and action. We lose our ability to respond to atrocity when we start seeing people not as individuals, but as symbols. Changing avatars on social media is a pathetic distraction from changing realities in society. To combat violence you must look unflinchingly at the concrete inequities and practices that breed it. You won’t stop it with acts of self-styled courage on your computer screen that neither risk nor alter anything. To protect expression that’s endangered you have to engage with the substance of what was said, not deny it. That means attempting dialogue with those who peacefully condemn or disagree, not trying to shame them into silence. Nothing is quick, nothing is easy. No solidarity is secure. I support free speech. I oppose all censors. I abhor the killings. I mourn the dead. I am not Charlie.

I think that the problem with a public dialogue about the use of images of Mohammed is that it gives the impression that our freedom of speech and expression is negotiable. No institution whether political, religious or secular should be beyond criticism. I feel that if the press self-censors on this issue, what will they take offence at next? If we back down do we send the message that we will fold to their ridiculous demands if they start
killing those who criticise them? I think these apologists should grow a pair, and in the light of current events I find their complacency offensive.

Thousands of French Jews Flee to Britain Seeking Safe Haven

Thousands of French Jews are fleeing to Britain in search of a more welcoming climate, according to Jewish community leaders, despite a report published just days ago revealing that British Jews are questioning their own future in Europe. As many as a quarter of the UK’s estimated 20,000 French Jews are thought to have arrived in the country in the last two years.

The attack on a kosher supermarket last week, which left four Jews, dead has sent shock waves through a Jewish community already struggling in the face of anti-Semitism. Yet it was by no means an isolated event.
Only last month three armed men broke into an apartment in Créteil, south-east of Paris, belonging to a young Jewish couple. The pair were tied up, the woman raped, and were robbed. The attackers told them “You Jews, you have money.” President François Hollande called the attack “intolerable”, and the interior minister Bernard Cazaneuve led a march of around 1,000 to protest against anti-Semitism, but across the country the news was widely met with indifference.
Two years previously, seven people, including three children and a rabbi, were shot dead at a Jewish school in Toulouse. That event precipitated headlines and questions, but low-level anti-Semitism does not. In the first seven months of 2014, before the dispute between Israel and Hamas flared up again, the rate of anti-Semitic attacks doubled in France compared to 2013. Jews make up just 1 percent of the French population, yet half of all racist attacks in France are directed towards Jews.
Ephraim Mirvis, the British chief rabbi, visited Paris after last week’s attack. He told the Telegraph “I encountered a French Jewish community within which the trauma of the previous few days was still deeply evident. While some French Jews are contemplating their future in France, many others are showing a quiet determination to remain and to contribute to a strong Jewish future.”
Simon Tobelem, a French Jewish businessman who spends much of his time in London, estimates that there are as many as 20,000 French Jews in Britain, of which 4,000 to 5,000 have arrived within the past two years. He said: “I think that the trend is definitely growing. We have new faces arriving every week, but what we see is certainly only the tip of the iceberg.”
Britain’s relatively strong economy is part of the pull, but so is Britain’s reputation as a tolerant, welcoming society, willing to act as a safe haven for people of faith. “On a day-to-day basis in northwest London, there’s a feeling of non-aggression,” said Marc Meyer, the French-born chairman of Hendon United Synagogue.
Yet even as they welcome the French newcomers, British Jews are becomingly increasing concerned for their own safety. A Survation poll for the Jewish Chronicle released today shows that three quarters of the Jews polled feel more concerned for their safety following the Paris attack. 32 percent said they were “much more concerned”.
11 percent have considered leaving the country because of the Paris attacks, rising to 17 percent amongst 18-34 year olds. When asked whether life was getting better or worse for Jewish people in Britain, 43 percent said that it was getting worse, whilst only 10 percent though it was improving. 45 percent thought it had stayed much the same.
The findings come hot on the heels of a report published by the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism, which found that a quarter of British Jews had considered leaving the country over the last two years, and that nearly 6 in 10 believed Jews had no long term future in Europe. 69 percent of those surveyed believe that the Jewish community must protect itself as the state does not take the threat seriously. A YouGov poll taken for the report also found that 45 percent of Britons agreed at least one of a range of anti-Semitic statements put to them, such as “Jews chase money more than other British people”.
Over recent years Britain’s reputation for tolerance has also been turned against the Jewish population. As left wing ideologies which seek to compartmentalize society and promote certain groups take hold, Jews are starting to lose out. Last August, Brietbart London recounted how some London supermarkets, fearful of violent retribution by Islamist thugs, had removed the kosher produce from their stores. Meanwhile the same supermarkets encourage secular customers to buy halal by offering a wider selection of cuts in halal than in general.

European police arrest over 2 dozen in anti-terror sweeps

By RAF CASERT and ANGELA CHARLTON
Jan. 16, 2015 1:08 PM EST

Armed Belgian police officers guard a street in Verviers, Belgium, Friday, Jan. 16, 2015.

BRUSSELS (AP) — French, German, Belgian and Irish police arrested more than two dozen suspects in anti-terrorism raids Friday, as European authorities rushed to thwart more attacks by people with links to Mideast Islamic extremists.

Rob Wainwright, head of the police agency Europol, told The Associated Press that foiling terror attacks has become "extremely difficult" because Europe's 2,500-5,000 radicalized Muslim extremists have little command structures and are increasingly sophisticated.

Around the world, protesters rallied against Charlie Hebdo in several countries Friday. The satirical newspaper had 12 employees slain last week for lampooning the Muslim Prophet Muhammad, but defiantly put a new Muhammad cartoon on the cover of its weekly issue this week. The issue sold out its 3 million copies — more than 50 times its usual press run.

In Prague, hundreds of people rallied against Islam in the first such protest in the Czech Republic, waving Czech flags and banners with slogans including "Islam is evil."

Across Europe, anxiety has grown as the hunt continued for possible accomplices to the Paris gunmen — French police earlier told AP there could be up to six of them.

A salute for the fallen: Former colleagues raise their hands as Charlie Hebdo editor Charb is laid to rest in Paris

Stephane Charbonnier laid to rest in childhood home of Pontoise, Paris

Cartoonist Renald 'Luz' Luzier pictured with raised fist while weeping

Hundreds packed into town hall to pay respects to magazine editor

Charbonnier - known to his friends and fans as Charb - was born in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, a small district of north-western Paris, huddled up against the Seine.
The son of a postal worker father and secretary mother, he grew up in Pontoise, an historic arrondissement several miles to the north of his birthplace, and synonymous with impressionist art.
At one time Van Gogh, Cezanne, Pissarro and Gauguin, all either lived or worked in the picturesque district, and painted its landscape.

The prestigious heritage certainly rubbed off on Charbonnier, who drew from a young age. His first drawings were published in a student magazine when he was just 14.
He went to study at the Lycée Camille Pissarro, a art college close to his home which counted the impressionist among its patrons when it opened in 1959.
After graduating he went on to study advertising, but broke off that career when he was invited to work on satirical magazine La Grosse Bertha - which translates as Big Bertha, named after the formidable First World War German artillery piece.
He joined the magazine in 1991, and made his debut as Charb with a cartoon opposing the first Gulf War.
He served just a year on Grosse Bertha's staff before a row over the magazine's political content caused several senior staff to walk, including renown cartoonist Jean 'Cabu' Cabut.
Cabu convinced Charbonnier to leave with him, and together the pair revived Charlie Hebdo, which was originally founded in 1970, but went out of print in 1981.
Cabu was one of the nine staff killed alongside Charbonnier when bloodthirsty jihadis Said and Cherif Koauchi bust into their offices last Wednesday and opened fire.
Operating now without restrictions, Charbonnier and Cabut quickly established a reputation for pushing the boundaries of taste, while staunchly defending the right to freedom of expression.
Charbonnier was at the centre of the 2006 decision to reprint cartoons of Mohammed by Dutch illustrator Kurt Westergaard which caused international outrage.

After Philippe Val, another former Grosse Bertha contributor, left the magazine in 2009 it was Charbonnier who stepped in to take his place.
Ensuring the publication remained as controversial as ever, he put together an issue in which the magazine was renamed 'Sahria Hebdo', which claimed to be guest edited by Mohammed, and carried the cover slogan '100 lashes if you don't die laughing'.
That lead to the magazine's offices being firebombed in 2011, though at the time of that attack they were empty. The target was instead believed to be the publication's computer system.
Charbonnier was placed under police guard after death threats flooded in, and Charlie Hebdo relocated to its new premises on Rue Nicolas-Appert, where the attacks took place last week.

Refusing to bow to the threats, he published several subsequent editions featuring Mohammed including him being pushed around by a Rabbi while in a wheelchair - which he drew himself.
His defiant stance lead to several fatwas being issued against him, and in 2013 he was placed on Al Qaeda's hit-list of nine men wanted 'for crimes against Islam'.
He died last week aged 47 during the massacre at the magazine's office. Witness reports said he was the main target of the attack, and his name was called before he was shot.
He was murdered alongside Jean Cabut, 76, Elsa Cayat, 54, Philippe Honoré, 74, Bernard Maris, 68, Mustapha Ourrad, 60, Michel Renaud, 69, Bernard Verlhac, 57, and Georges Wolinski, 80.
Several hundred people attended his emotional funeral service in Pontoise today, the day after services took place for Verlhac, Wolinski, Cayat, and Franck Brinsolaro, the police protection officer assigned to look after Charbonnier.

Mr. Deity calls out the Pope

Using uncharacteristically strong language meant to explicitly demonstrate his rights, Mr. Deity (Brian Dalton) calls out Pope Francis for saying that there is no right to criticize religion. (TRIGGER WARNING: Maybe not for kids?)

39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

The pope seems a bit confused about the notion of turning the other cheek. He thinks it's so he can slap it again.
Odd that the Vicar of Christ doesn't quite understand his own religion.

Jesus Christ, that's crazy

A violent mob set light to at least seven churches in Niger during fresh protests against Charlie Hebdo magazine.
The mob rampaged through Niger's capital Niamey as anger mounted in several Muslim countries over the satirical magazine's depiction of the prophet Mohammed.
Around 1,000 youths wielding iron bars, clubs and axes stormed through the city, hurling rocks at police who responded with tear gas.
The French embassy in Niamey urged its citizens to stay at home.
Yesterday, a rally against Charlie Hebdo in the country's second city of Zinder left four dead and 45 injured.
