Meet FaceBook For Fanatics: ISIS Launches CaliphateBook Social Network
Islamic State has finally had enough of being blacklisted by popular social media sites and has decided to take matters into its own hands. Just weeks after warning Twitter founder Jack Dorsey that ISIS “lions” were “coming to take [his] breath,” it appears the group may be plotting to carry out their revenge the way any good capitalist would: by launching a competing product.
Here’s Reuters:
Islamic State supporters, facing regular bans and blockages on Facebook and other social networks, have launched their own CaliphateBook to spread their militant message over the Internet.
The site 5elafabook.com, which resembled Facebook but appeared unfinished, went live on Sunday then went offline again a day later and its linked Twitter account was shut down (ZH: Jack Dorsey apparently wants to protect his market leader position)...
It was unclear who created 5elafabook.com -- a name based on an English transliteration of the Arabic word for caliphate 'khelafa' -- or how many members it attracted.
The group, known for its slickly produced videos, demonstrated a bit less in the way of technical expertise with this effort, turning to “Socialkit,” a DIY product available for the bargain price of $40.
As Reuters notes, members were initially split on whether the group should make the always tricky leap from Caliphate to social network proprietor, but in the end, the opportunity to clear up mainstream misconceptions about what the group is all about outweighed more general concerns about security:
Islamic State supporters held a debate in a separate web forum on whether platforms like 5elafabook could be trusted or whether they could be used by IS's enemies to gain intelligence, according to the militancy watchdog SITE Intelligence Group.
"There is no secure website, even if it did belong directly to the Islamic State, because the servers are controlled by the governments, which can take all the IP addresses of those who visited the website," said a user calling himself Taqni Minbar.
The message on 5elafabook.com said the site's main purpose "was to clarify to the whole world that we do not only carry guns and live in caves as they imagine ... We advance with our world and we want advancement to become Islamic."
Although the site is “temporarily shut down in order to protect the info and details of its members" — which presumably robs us of the best chance we had at identifying those “recruits and people who may carry out attacks” that the FBI recently told us to be on the look out for — we would note that thanks to a new 70-page study by The Brookings Institute, we finally have a profile of the archetypal terrorist Twitter user. Behold:
ISIS supporters are not Apple fanboys…
...generally lean towards mentioning ISIS in hashtags (makes sense)...
...prefer terror-related avatars but in a bind will settle for the generic “white egg on green background”...
...like being where the action is but don’t mind Hawaii and Arizona…
… and generally send between 0-50 tweets per day…
Here’s a an overview of what Brookings thinks are the key talking points:
And while New Yorkers are busy looking over their shoulders for suspicious-looking, murderous ISIS terrorists who may or may not be plotting (from their Brooklyn apartments) to assassinate a diplomat, Brookings can tell you exactly where the bad guys are based on their tweets:

This exhaustive study would appear to validate the concerns some ISIS supporters had about their whereabouts being determined based on their use of social networks.
While we’re not sure if CaliphateBook (screenshot below) will ever catch on, we do advise you to be suspicious of anyone eating Nutella while tweeting.

So this is where you go to sign up for USG's terrorist list, and to give them the latest updates?
I guess we can look foward to an ISIS dating site soon.

The whole point of the ISIS website is so the CIA can root out "home grown extremists"
Same with twitter, people share ISIS related shit and CIA monitors that adding them to the "category".
People on those sites will be approached by a member of "IS" seeing if they are interested in joining or engaging at home and then the FBI with the help of the CIA will soon make headlines for "Busting at home terrorist plots" which they enabled and fabricated to catch these 'terrorists' just so they can justify the "War on Terror"
There will always be terrorists whether they are real or influenced by informants working for the CIA.
Aw c’mon, what’s the big deal?
It’s not as if they were some crazy domestic Christian group desperately clinging to their guns and Bibles.
I find it amazing for a bunch of ISIS guys driving around in toyota pick trucks with machines guns mounted in the back firing in the air - can get this level of technological 'sophistication' all by themselves and someone allowing it to happen...
.
And considering no one even heard of them pre-2014.
There is no IS as it's been packaged and sold to us. IS = CIA. Just like the Taliban, it's all created, funded, trained, armed, and directed by the CIA. Here's a picture of McCain with the new IS "Leader in Libya". It's all bullshit.

Happy 6th Birthday: The Day FASB Folded & "Mark-To-Fantasy" Was Born
Was thinking FASB ended through the repeal, when careful DNA analysis determined el presidente's love spatter smudged n Ms Monica's black dress (did that "not too fat and not too many pimples" plumper ever go to the dry cleaners?) carried the day, like way back when sayan CHief Justice William Brandies little visit to Woody Woodrow Wilson got the then schmuck of a prez to restart WWI, accept the idea of partitioning Palestine for the for act of the UN SC, chartering the State of Israel, create the IRS, the FED and income taxes (and direct election of sinators) to fund the newly created and Schmitt controlled Forever War and Genocide Exchange project, ta-da-daaaaaa Her Majesty's Shitter, the Federal Reserve.
Once upon a time in a place far far away ...
The way mark to market was spozed to work was that the portfolio manager would divide up his risk assets into two categories, Hold and / or Available for Sale . For assets declared available for sale, the manager would have to mark, carry, report, whatever, the asset to the lesser of either the book value (principal +/- cost), or market value.
The mark to market rule was that a portfolio manager had to find three recent trades for the asset and use the lowest price as the "marked to market" print (when declared as available for sale) for the asset. (that's cause they held on to the liquid high yield paper).
`Member investor bitching about the low yield on a par purchase treasury with a 12% coupon (aaaah - doze were de daze)...
Fast Forward to 2008
`Member the senate banking committee's helium filled fluff ball questions was pretending they were doing what we paid for and asking the Wall Street Primaries Coke Heads, that, BTW, and also, comp our political class employees nooner quickies in the K-Street Kiddie Brothels. That was an entirely different kind of market value thingamabob. Recall the reason they could not determine a market value: "there was no market value". Honest Injun, that's what the Wall Street White Shoes said! They couldn't noodle an ask, and fir sure no bids were blowing over the front office's counter. It was junk and an already swapped down to the nth and every fucking body knew it!
So what do ya do, DF? Well, Fasb said if an asset available for sale, you have to show it at the market value when it's trading at, which by orders in these and those daze, and by orders, less than the accrued cost of the asset.
So if the asset is available for sale and there is zero market then FASB says (very simply) you carry it at Market (zero) less book, ie; a negative print. You go bankrupt and the insurer pays the principal due to bond holders. That's the wat capitalism is spozed to work.
WhHat was the crisis our Diebold Selectees in the Senate were trying to avoid? Answer is obliviously obvious: Paying out of pocket to fondle kiddies.
Man, that's really concerning. I, too, tweet between zero and fifty times a day (zero, not exactly sure what a tweet is or how to go about doing one). But I've already had my personal encounters with NSA and FBI. Pretty sure most everyone posting anywhere on Zero Hedge will eventually get a 'visit'.
Always ask for evidence of jurisdiction. When they can't show it, show them the door. Until they show evidence, exercise the right to remain silent. Equity won't aid a volunteer.

fuck this shit, really i mean it. Terrorist group make "facebook for fnatics"
what's next - world wide terrorist organisation? killing people with drones? paper money? global warming?
stop this river of Bullshit
I'm certain that the NSA will concentrate all their efforts on "facebook for fanatics" and stop watching ZH and the rest of the internet. Right?
I feel so relieved...
Spent the evening out in the woods practicing with my bow until it went dark.
Dinner over a camp fire in the snow with my son.
The river of bullshit was way out of earshot.
Keeps me sane(ish) - him too, hopefully!
These ISIS chaps appear to be very enterprising, can't wait to invest in their IPO.

Sand Hill Road must be salivating over all this potential fortune-making!
As Long as Tyler sticks with the fight club meme, instead of the Children of Men meme ... It needs to be noted that when facebook popped, you had two cofounders. One dude paid his taxes, one dude got a nasty letter from John "Neocon" McCain.

Sounds like he takes a wide stance on security.
And it wasn't blocked? /s, I bet it is run now by the EOE guys who hired physically challenged persons. I will have to go to the local Job Service/Career Center and see who is doing all that hiring. I will wear a sunglasses, have a cane and hearing aids on... This bullshit is getting so bad that Global Warming has mutated into a new MEME. I do offer my sincere apologies to those who are considered challenged and know quite a few who can run circles around those with their faculties in place, especially those synaptically challenged idiots at dot gov.. I suggest you run for office and sue the living bejeesus out of them for denigrating you by their claims that ISIS will hire you.

An idea only the NSA/CIA could love?
No wonder Arizona is on the list: US Army Intel/Language center in Fort Huachucha (sp?).
Don't know about Hawaii, probably some navel intel/cyber warfare spot.
So... When's the IPO?
errr.. i think they should call it "Headbook"
Come the fuck on.
Is this for real?
Wouldnt surprise me if it was just another scam for the market..like facebook.
Jesus..what is going on in this world?
"Achmed, 14, chopped off his first head today"
"Bashir a young warrior from Tikrit, used his suicide vest yesterday. He will be missed."
"Condolences to the family of Sufay, who was killed by an airdropped pallet of ZATO rifles."

Funny that he was blind and had no arms.
He must not have been part of the boston bombing. Lots of amputees, all legs.
I just signed up and made a bunch of new friends.
Yeah nothing CIA about this.
It's as though they are trying to see how ridiculous they can make the whole ISIS thing before even the most brainwashed sheeple call bullshit.
Yeah, as fake BS as it gets. The media still pushing all this intelligence agency psyops stuff after what went down with Iraq should be probed for covering up war crimes.
So what's next, IsisPhones and ISIS IPO?
I can only speak for myself, as to what's next, but I'm really really really hoping for twerking terrorists.
I mean, I WANT TO SEE SOME MOTHER FUCKING TWERKING TERRORISTS!
I mean, why be half-assed about your social life, take it all the way you stupid twerkerists. You wanna be cool and involved do you? It's what everyone's doing so COME ON AND GET ON WITH IT ALREADY!
I can't believe anyone would legitimately think this isisbook is a legit extremist site. One is braindead to not see CIA/NSA fingerprints all over this.
Let's call it FeceBook.
A facebook where everyone is wearing either an assassins mask or a burka?
How is that going to work out?
It's called Covered Facebook...DUH!
CaliphateBook. LOL!!! No doubt it will run Facebook out of business. There will be a lot of "likes" for the the daily beheadings and wife beatings.
I wonder if isis will have a swinger website? Have sex then go kill someone...
They're worried about being identified on social media, so they build their own hackable one stop shop?
Seems legit.
Hey, I just found Fred my neighbor on there! I was wondering what he was doing with all those pipe bombs and molotav cocktails in his garage.
It's such a small world!
In all my years of living I've never seen anything as stoooopid as this. This is so stupid on so many levels....so fucking stupid. Unfuckingridiculously stupid.
Do people actually believe this shit? Anyone? Hello? Is this thing on?
Sounds like a great place to troll.
If you look at the Time Zone chart, you see Hawaii and Arizona flagged. Big whoop, given the size of the population.
What's more curious, is why does Ljubljana (capital of Slovenia), with a mere 200,000 people and 93% Catholic population, has 285 hits. Must be a lot of Albanian, Kosovo and Bosnian Muslims (from old Yugoslavia) there.
p.s. I enjoy noticing things (hiding in plain sight) that others overlook.

Let me guess...the IPO going to be held on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange?
According to the map, ISIS is tweeting from Israel. I think that goes on the conspiracy-proven-true list.
What they need to do is start a Kickstarter campaign to help properly fund the development of a CFB website. I'll buy that for a dollar!
