Just the fact that the US has people/forces responsible for the rest of the world is disheartening on many levels.

Map should show the USA covered and the rest of the world on its own.

Once again,the bankrupcy of the NSA and the rest of America's Orwellian military and security services is proven to be billions of dollars down a Black Hole. The only people benefiting from this are the .gov psychopaths that run these agencies, and the crony capitalists who rape the middle class of its money to pay for their useless technology.

 

In a legitimate government, all Hell would be breaking loose to find out how these organizations spent so much to get so little, and these .gov and crony types would be jailed for the rest of their lives (or if in China - shot dead).

 

But .gov is a criminal enterprise; lies, theft, and serial mass murders, are its products. It is the ultimate protection racket, holding everything from the president, to the AG, to Congress, and the courts themselves as their shields guaranteeing impunity.

 

The sheer magnitude of criminality and incompetency stretches the limits of a person's comprehension. The sheeple are not asleep - they are dead.

 

And soon enough, we shall all join them in the transition from allegory, to reality.

The Past--

From its beginnings, Islam has been a violent and imperialistic movement.  Within 100 years of the death of Mohammed, Islamic armies had conquered ancient Christian lands in the Middle East, North Africa, and Spain.  The Holy City of Jerusalem was captured in 638.  Islamic armies launched raids throughout the Mediterranean and even attacked Rome in 846.  Life in the conquered regions for Christians was not easy; many were forced to convert, others converted due to societal pressure (Christians and Jews were considered to be barely above the status of slaves in Islamic society); still others maintained the Faith at great risk.

Although there were periods of relative peace and calm between Muslims and Christians, including Christian pilgrims from Europe, the situation radically changed in the early 11th century when the Egyptian Muslim ruler of Jerusalem ordered the destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

The Present--

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, the CyberCaliphate under the auspices of ISIS continues its CyberJihad. While the US and its satellites kill our brothers in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan we broke into your networks and personal devices and know everything about you.

You'll see no mercy infidels. ISIS is already here, we are in your PCs, in each military base. With Allah's permission we are in CENTCOM now. 

We won't stop! We know everything about you, your wives and children.

U.S. soldiers! We're watching you!

But do you know who your real 'master' is? ISIS=rebranded AlQaeda=WesternIntel, mainly MOssad, CIa, MI6, with assistance from the rest of the usual suspects and Arab shieks.

Why doesn't ISIS speak ill of their masters in Zion? Maybe they don't want to have their Dog Wagged like Fance did recently? It seems that ISIS has friends throughout the region willing to keep them well supplied, in more ways than one, though, like all state terrorists, they are pawns and totally expendable.

It seems the same pattern can be found in ANONYMOUS... curious, that like the Snowman who worked at the CIA, they have nothing to say about that set of employers. Interesting that ISIS doesn't seem to have any problems with the infidels in Zion???

See the pattern? It's all a matter of choice, once you learn to 'see the unseen'... then a choice needs be made and empowered less you succumb to the usual trap of time.

My first thought was: why would they utilize twitter for anything, other than as a gateway for sockpuppets to spread misinformation as a military tactic

Why are they using stinking social media for anything else, when the software is maintained by private compamies that love to hire foreign STEM workers. The whole story smells

ISIS hacker hacks Twitter accounts of US local TV station, Albuquerque Journal Posted on January 8, 2015January 8, 2015

sA hacker supporting the ISIS or ISIL terrorist group has hacked the official Twitter account and website of WBOC-TV, a Salisbury-based television station. The same hacker managed to hack Albuquerque Journal’s Twitter page with posts and photos supporting ISIS fighters and threatening Albuquerque citizens.

The hacker goes with the Twitter handle of @cybercaliphate took over WBOC-TV’s Twitter handle @wboc and @ABQJournal defacing them with images supporting the ISIS group. Hacker also posted Tweets in support of the terrorist group and against the American citizens.

READ MORE: ISIS Deploys Malware To Hunt Its Critics.

Hacker also posted pictures and Tweets claiming to have access some highly confidential documents from the Federal Bureau Investigations (FBI) which he got through the station’s Twitter account.

The hacker also managed to hack the station’s website wboc.com defacing one of its top stories with “CyberCaliphate” title.

Here is a list of tweets sent out by the hacker:

The below given tweet was sent out with an attached document which hacker claims he got through hacking the station’s twitter handle.

 

Another tweet with alleged confidential document:

 

 

 

 

Here are three screenshots taken at the tome when Albuquerque Journal’s Twitter account was compromised by the hacker.

The below screenshot shows ISIS hacker defaced the ABQ Journal’s Twitter account with profile and banner image of his own.


In this screenshot the hacker is threatening the citizens of Albuquerque:

 

The Albuquerque Journal’s Twitter page has been restored and back under the Journal’s social media team, but the WBOC’s Twitter account is still under the ISIS hacker and the social media team at station is still unable to login in to their own account.

READ MORE: ISIS releases “How to Tweet Safely Without Giving out Your Location to NSA” Manual

It is unclear how the hacker managed to hack both Twitter handles. However, the senior vice president of programs for the Center for Internet Security Laura Iwan told USA Today  “There are various ways an attack like Tuesday’s could happen. If you get an email from someone you supposedly know there’s a link in the email and you click on that link, it may all be bogus. Unbeknownst to you, it installs malware on your machine.”

About WBOC-TV, channel 16:

WBOC-TV, channel 16, is a CBS affiliate based in Salisbury, Maryland, USA. WBOC-TV is owned by the Draper Holdings Business Trust. The station primarily serves the four easternmost counties of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, as well as Sussex County, Delaware. However, its signal covers the entire Eastern Shores of Maryland and Virginia, as well as the southern two-thirds of Delaware, a region known as the Delmarva Peninsula, according to Wiki.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) Twitter account hacked by ISIS hacker Posted on January 12, 2015January 12, 2015

A twitter handle claiming its affiliation with ISIS/ISIL group has hacked the official Twitter account of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) about an hour ago.

The hacker has started posting Islamic prayers and ‘Pentagon hacked’ tweets after taking over the CENTCOM twitter handle. The handle currently has 110k followers. Remember this is the same hacker who previously hacked US local TV station and Albuquerque Journal twitter accounts.

Currently there are number of tweets posted by the hacker through U.S. Central Command‘s @CENTCOM Twitter account with attachments which hacker claims are the secret documents he got through the hacked twitter account:

Some of the tweets can be read below:

 

The hacker defaced CENTCOM account with a banner and profile picture of his own.

 

Hacker claims ISIS is already in U.S. military bases and PCs.

 

A threatening message with an attached document which according to hacker is a highly confidential document he acquired from the hacked CENTCOM account.

Hacker posting a tweet claiming Pentagon Networks hacked with yet another attachment. This time it’s related to China.

 

Hacker posting a tweet claiming Pentagon Networks hacked with yet another attachment. This time it’s related to Korea.

 

This tweet has a Pastebin link which further leads do several download links. Hacker claims the leaked documents belong to inside U.S. Army files and war scenario.

The area of responsibility of United States Central Command  includes countries in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia, most notably Afghanistan and Iraq. USCENTCOM (also called CENTCOM) has been the main American presence in many military operations, including the Persian Gulf War, the War in Afghanistan (2001–present), and the Iraq War. Forces from CENTCOM currently are deployed primarily in Iraq and Afghanistan in combat roles and have bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Pakistan, and central Asia in support roles.

CENTCOM forces have also been deployed in Jordan, and Saudi Arabia in the past, and although there is a small presence remaining in each of those countries, no substantial U.S. forces are based there as of 2009, according to WikiPedia.

While writing this article we noticed Twitter has acknowledged the hack and suspended the hacked CENTCOM’s account. 

We will update the article with more info soon!
