This is an effort long over due. The enemy [ies] have long used the internet to organize their cause and spread propaganda. We are lagging behind at an absurd distance in the "war of information" needed to suppport the cause of freedom and Democracy at home [and abroad].

Al-Qaeda and the Socialist movement at home have used the internet to gain a giant foothold here in America and abroad. Failure of the MSM to probe and/or report accurately about their efforts is shocking. Most mainstream Americans have no idea of the progress these two groups have made here at home in America. Now in my home state, Virginia, we have become a targeted state.

Thanks for this effort and PIST 10!

Wretchard’s cooking with gas today:

Osama Bin Laden has just said “ouch”.

What makes the Mohammed Cartoon attack on radical Islam so potent that Bin Laden himself must oppose it, is two things. First, anyone can make fun of radical Islam. Second, the Cartoons are aimed at the weakest point of the Jihad: it’s sources of authority.

What Geert Wilders has done is draw a line in the intellectual sand which he invites everyone to cross.

Many pixels have been burned out arguing that the distributed Islamic insurgency is invincible. But what about distributed resistance? What about distributed blasphemy? How long will Osama Bin Laden’s dogma survive that?

It’s Radical Islam’s worst nightmare: a Swarm directed against authority.

You’ll want to read the whole thing, including the comments.

If you are reading this YOU already have everything you need to join the Resistance.

We can do this. Irregulars are the only force that can. The West’s professional satirists, humorists, comedians and film makers lack the courage to lampoon Islam. The West’s Regular Psychological Operators lack the political support to lampoon Islam because politicians are still peddling PC ROP BS, and we’re trying to train up Muslim boys so American boys can come home. But professionals aren’t the only players on this field.

The cause for the Afghan suicide bombers' underwhelming performance, they claimed, lay in the ineptitude of the people the Taliban were recruiting as fedayeen (suicide) bombers. Afghan officials continually told stories of lower class people who had been seduced, bribed, tricked, manipulated or coerced into blowing themselves up as "weapons of God" or "Mullah Omar's missiles." Afghan NDS officials also spoke of apprehended bombers who were deranged, retarded, mentally unstable or on drugs.

Something to get them kiling themselves over. Our pseudo-Egyptian insults Pashtun forum posters over their lack of success in martyrdom operations.

This subject is interesting in the propaganda value it has to the enemy. The divisions it creates, real or imagined, is a subject I think we should research. I'm currently going with CDR Salamander's position, which is explained in the link.

I nominate myself as Team Leader until somebody replaces me
I nominate ymarsakar Assistant Team Leader intending him as my replacement
geraldanthro is our analyst
Everybody else are our Countrpropagandists
All of the above is negotiable. Express yourselves

What specific piece of propaganda do we have a shot at countering?
How do we counter it?
Where do we counter it?
Who are our target audiences?
What is our counter message?
