IS Revamps Recruitment, With Savvy, Professional Broadcasts
“After a selection of tunes, the presenter with an American accent offers “a glimpse at our main headlines.” IS militants have just seized three Iraqi cities. A bomb blows up a factory, killing everyone inside. Militants destroy four enemy Hummers and an armored vehicle.
The newscast’s tone sounds much like National Public Radio in the United States. But this is Al-Bayan, the Islamic State radio targeting European recruits — touting recent triumphs in the campaign to carve out a Caliphate.
All news is good news for Al-Bayan’s “soldiers of the Caliphate.” In this narrative, the enemy always flees in disgrace or is killed. The broadcasts end with a swell of music and a gentle English message: “We thank our listeners for tuning in.”
The tension between the smooth, Western-style production and the extremist content shows how far the hardcore Islamic propaganda machine has come since 2012….”

What? Not happy with having recruited British 'national' support?
UKGuardian: Terror trial collapses after fears of deep embarrassment to security services
Swedish national Bherlin Gildo’s lawyers argued British intelligence agencies were supporting the same Syrian opposition groups as he was.
The prosecution of a Swedish national accused of terrorist activities in Syria has collapsed at the Old Bailey after it became clear Britain’s security and intelligence agencies would have been deeply embarrassed had a trial gone ahead, the Guardian can reveal.
Slightly off topic but check out the headline from GP:
"Hackers Steal Identity of AZ Islamic Center Protest Organizer – GoFundMe Removes His Fundraising Page."
Can someone explain how I can be fined and run out of business for refusing to cater a same sex wedding while GOFundMe can remove the fundraising page of someone they don't like?
As I recall, GoFundMe also removed the page raising money for the shop who refused to make a gay wedding pizza.
Yep. The definition of "public accommodation" is very flexible isn't it. Like the Cheshire Cat: words mean whatever the Left wants them to mean.
Global progressives have highjacked political nomenclature to mean whatever-the-hell they want it to mean.
Here in the US, the current occupant of the oval office has clearly stated 'his' primary concern for this nation is "global climate change"/"global warming" leading most to simply assume he's referring to the weather.
Considering his affiliation with Bill Ayers/Dorn who were "the
weather underground"...his/their interpretation of
'weather'/'climate' may have more to do with social issues than with any assumed preoccupation with
temperature/cloud cover/precipitation/tide/moon phases.
Perhaps it's time to revisit the 'progressive' interpretation of this political language as it applies to coincidental events like Ferguson, Baltimore, Philadelphia, etc.:
Severe weather? Riots, plunder, pillage, arson, murder
Rising temperatures/global warming? Social agitators, community organizers stirring trouble with violence-prone-rent-a-thug-mobs
Climate Change? Social justice in the form of anti-law enforcement, white privilege
Rising Tides/floods? Open borders, deportation recidivism, government induced hijrah
Is it merely a coincidence the ME exploded in what this administration
identified as the "Arab Spring? or the "Fall" of (the hard fought for) Iraq?
IF I may quote from MC in Sderot/via Gatesofvienna:
"There is now a controlling influence in the world such as has
never been before. Disparate governments move with a singleness and timing of common purpose. The international media are all singing from the same hymn sheet."
Adding one more thought to the Anon@3:54:00 comment...
The current occupant of the oval office can also assume the 'global warming'/'climate change' agenda a reliable source of funding the chaos of his campaign promise for 'change'
