The Iranian website ahmadinejad.com, in which Iranian officials claim the Iranian President publishes a daily journal , was down for a few hours on Monday.
Following a report by Yedioth Ahronoth on Sunday about the site, Israeli hackers called for a joint effort to hack the site.
On Monday afternoon, the site was down for an hour and in the evening the site worked alternately.
Israelis bloggers claimed Monday that the site was down because of a joi... (more)
Well done people, your direct action in putting Alex's alert out may have just prevented the globalists from being able to pull off a major staged attack in the short term.
We are starting to notice a disturbing and growing trend whereby truth activists are being linked with terror suspects in a ploy of guilt by association that echoes back to the days when the Patriot movement was linked with Timothy McVeigh by the Clinton administration after the Oklahoma City Bombing.
In a London Guardian article written by a friend of one of the suspects rounded up last week, it is claimed that the individual, Waheed Zaman, was skeptical of the official expla... (more)
CHATTING and joking with supermarket staff, this is terror bomb suspect Tayib Rauf just two hours before he was arrested by anti-terror officers.
The 22-year-old brother of Rashid Rauf who is being quizzed in Pakistan, was captured on CCTV ordering cakes and buns for his family's bakery business.
The film was taken as police prepared to swoop on him and 22 others they believe may have been involved in the plot to blow up jets over America.
Last week, Think Progress documented CNN Headline News anchor Chuck Roberts’ reference to Ned Lamont as “the al Qaeda candidate.” Arianna Huffington then appeared on CNN and, referring to Roberts’ statement, called on news stations to demand more accountability for comments made by their anchors. And yesterday, MediaMatters CEO David Brock wrote a letter to CNN President Jonathan Klein urging him to discipline Roberts.
As the weeks "wore on," the Bush Administration began to doubt that Israel could win an outright military victory in Lebanon, according to an early version of an article published in Monday's New York Times.
An advance version of the Times article obtained by RAW STORY included references to such doubts as expressed by an unidentified senior Bush Administration official, but for unknown reasons it was left out of the published article.
Fox is tripping over itself trying to help the Bush administration terrorize the nation, using the London "terror plot" to distract the American people from the anti-war, anti-Bush conversation that began yesterday after Ned Lamont won Tuesday's Connecticut primary.
Case in point: Charles Payne, of "WStreet.com" and the only African-American who very, very regularly appears on Fox's "business" programs, was a guest today (August 10, 2006) on Your World.
Representatives of an east London mosque used by several of the terror suspects reacted angrily yesterday to what they called a "sick stunt" by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News channel.
Mohammed Shoyaib, the imam of the Musjid-e-Umer mosque in Walthamstow, complained that he and other elders were tricked by a representative from the cable channel, a priest who said he was working for the Vatican and wanted to talk peace.
"He introduced himself as priest working in Rome," s... (more)
Five years after 9/11, President Bush's advisers say they have learned a great deal about how to fight a war on terror, and they are no doubt correct. In Newsweek's Aug. 21-28 cover story, "Terror Now," (on newsstands Monday, August 14), Assistant Managing Editor Evan Thomas, with a team of Newsweek correspondents, sift through the investigation in Britain of the terror attack that was to bring down 10 airliners and also examine the lessons learned since 9/11 in the global war on terror.

Labor Department deputy assistant secretary Karen Czarnecki has repeatedly appeared on television — including Fox News and PBS — as a pundit. While she apparently filed leave papers before heading to the studios and was cleared by the department’s ethics staff (political activity by federal employees is restricted by the Hatch Act), Czarnecki never revealed her government position. Instead she identified herself as a “conservative analyst.”
An article at TIME.com notes that a soft drink commercial that mockingly depicts airport security agents confiscating a passenger's soda just so they can drink it themselves can still be seen on cable televison, and, in light of recent events, even the "normally irony-aware people at The Daily Show" haven't tried "stopping" it, RAW STORY has found.
"Comedy writers are always fighting the last war," writes Joel Stein for Time.com. "And people who book commercials on cable channels ... (more)

London - British police on Sunday questioned 22 suspects in an alleged plot to bomb trans-Atlantic jetliners in mid-air, as the country's top law-and-order official warned the risk of another attack remained high.
Home Secretary John Reid said the threat "is a chronic one and it is a severe one."
Reid repeated the assertion, made before by police, that Britain has foiled four major terrorist plots since the July 7, 2005 London transit bombings, and said police were ... (more)
Four days after the British government said it had foiled a plot by Islamic radicals to bring down up to 10 passenger jets bound for the United States, Britain's highest-ranking law enforcement official said today that about 24 other terrorist conspiracies were still under surveillance in this country.
The figure - far higher than had been made known - seemed likely to alarm many people. It could reinforce calls among Muslim leaders and other opponents for Prime Minister Tony Blai... (more)
Few British Home Secretaries in history can have been keeping as huge a secret as John Reid when he gave a speech at Demos, a London think tank, on Wednesday.
There is no question that the Home Secretary knew of the alleged conspiracy to blow up as many as a dozen airliners over American soil, possibly on the fifth anniversary next month of the 9/11 attacks in the US. For months the security authorities here, in Pakistan and the US had been tracking the evolution of a plan to sen... (more)
Actress Brooke Shields has a pretty impressive pedigree -- hanging from her family tree are Catherine de Medici and Lucrezia Borgia, Charlemagne and El Cid, William the Conqueror and King Harold II, vanquished by William at the Battle of Hastings.
Shields also descends from five popes, a whole mess of early New England settlers, and the royal houses of virtually every European country. She counts Renaissance pundit Niccolo Machiavelli and conquistador Hernando Cortes as ancestors.... (more)
SECURITY sources believe that a man arrested in last week’s anti- terror raids in Britain is Al-Qaeda’s leader in this country.
Home Office officials say that one of those arrested is suspected not only of masterminding the foiled plot to bring down up to nine transatlantic airliners, but also of involvement in other planned atrocities over the past few years.
They believe that he was instrumental in sending the ringleader of at least one previous Britis... (more)
Mel Gibson's drunken anti-Semitic rant has done little to tarnish his Hollywood star, with Walt Disney announcing it will still distribute his new film Apocalypto.
A Walt Disney spokeswoman yesterday rejected reports that the family-oriented company would offload distribution rights to another studio in order to distance itself from the controversy.
Gibson made the anti-Semitic remarks when he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving last month in California.... (more)
TERROR alert? What terror alert? Tony Blair throws back his head and laughs aboard a luxury yacht in the Caribbean yesterday.
The PM showed no signs of embarrassment at plainly relishing his holiday as Britain was put on red alert.
While tens of thousands of passengers suffered cancelled or delayed flights amid the crisis, Mr Blair splashed about in the sea off the paradise Grenadine Islands.
After a quick change of clothes, he joined wife Cherie and ... (more)
Goes to show you how "serious" this so-called terror plot really is.
We have learned that one of the suspects arrested by British authorities in the airline terror plot has just been released. Scotland Yard has not given any further details on which suspect or why they were let go.
Meanwhile, police continue their raids throughout England tonight, searching for the five remaining suspects who are still on the loose.
But we begin with the latest on the investigation into the terror plot. Eyewitness News reporter Jim Dolan has the late... (more)
London—A pizza delivery guy, a security guard, a university student, an odd-jobs construction worker and a part-time electronics salesman are among the young British men suspected of plotting to blow up passenger jets headed to the United States.
The profile emerging of the alleged homegrown terrorists arrested by police in raids late Wednesday night and Thursday morning is of ordinary working-class people, most with jobs and close family ties.
Washington’s foreign policy elite is engaged in a bitter tussle between “neoconservatives” and “realists” seeking to influence George W. Bush’s stance on the Israel-Lebanon crisis. The neocons increasingly have the upper hand.
Former and current administration officials say that George W. Bush feels more strongly and is more engaged in support of Israel’s military assault on Hizbollah than on any other question. They say Mr Bush feels pass... (more)
"And therefor we will order Israel to invade them by proxy!"
WASHINGTON, Aug 11 (IPS) - While much of the world has criticised Israel for carrying out a "disproportionate" war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, hard-line neo-conservatives have attacked the government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert for timidity.
As noted by diplomatic correspondent Ori Nir in this week's edition of The Forward, the U.S.' most important Jewish newspaper, the Israeli government and its military's chief of staff, Gen. Dan Halutz, have been subjected to unusually hars... (more)
