Extremist websites skyrocketing, says Interpol

[Studeo]

The sharp growth in extremist websites is making recruitment much easier for al-Qaeda, according to Interpol head Ronald Noble.

"The threat is global, it is virtual and it is on our doorsteps," he said.

Mr Noble told a conference of police chiefs in Paris there were 12 sites in 1998 and 4,500 by 2006.

He said tackling radicalisation had been made far harder by the internet because many of the activities involved were not criminal.

Increasingly, he said, the individuals targeted were young and vulnerable and from middle-class backgrounds.

A researcher at the London-based International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation told the BBC that the number of radical websites was now far higher than the figure given by Interpol.

"It's well into the thousands in English alone," said Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens.

He added that governments had found the increase in radical websites impossible to stop.

Last week, the head of British security service MI5, Jonathan Evans, expressed concern about the influence of Yemen-based radical Muslim cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki, whose sermons feature in more than 5,000 videos on YouTube.

Mr Awlaki has been linked to the deaths of 13 people at Fort Hood military base in the United States in November 2009 and the attempted bombing of a passenger jet as it flew to Detroit the following month.

It's obvious to many by now that the events of 9/11/2001; 7/7 London; 4/11 Spain; and 7/11 Mumbai are all, without exception, false flag events; it's also painfully obvious to anyone who has done the research, that groups such as the Mujahedeen, Al Qaeda, Taliban, etc. are creations of western intelligence agencies (CIA/MI6/Mossad) and their satellite organizations in Saudi Arabia, Spain, Pakistan, India, etc. Given all this easily accessible information, and the knowledge that all these covert agencies and overt fronts, without exception, are de facto paramilitary extensions of the global bankster crime empire (e.g. tools in the toolbox of division and conquest) ... why do you continue to promote their disinfo and fearmongering (not to mention that you do so with nary a disclaimer)?

I find that extremely troubling. Truth and humanity will be better served if you help expose the banksters and their hierarchy of operations, not promote them (wittingly or unwittingly).

Yeah, it's going so well, that Al Qaeda is now thought to have recruited as many a fifty (50) active members in Afghanistan!

It reads like a poorly drafted appeal for funding from a senile college professor.

Begs the question(s),
"So... exactly how much money will you need to 'stop the impossible'?
Exactly what is your plan?
And how long will it take?"

I wish more people knew the truth behind these puppet organizations. They'd be overcome with shock if they did know!

Thank you for the support. Sometimes, it feels a lonely journey going after truth(s). Always nice to be reassured there are others around doing the same.

Hmm, this all begs to ask question:
Who does "govts" consider "an extremist"?
the article implies "muslim"
But given recent (think- may) publication of infiltration/surveillance on "extremist" groups by FBI, the "right wing" "911 truthers" "Paulites" are also targeted.

Warfare state needs enemies. When they lack genuine ones, they make them. Without The Enemy, there would need to security, military and all "black" world.
Welfare state needs "social problems" to fight against. When they lack genuine ones, they buy scientists or philosophers to make them up.

Even without going into "far out conspiracy theories" its simple mathematics, with plenty of examples from even official history books.
Those who have power would do anything to keep it, and while possible , broaden it.

Saico, I have similar thoughts, who decides who is extreme?

[Ethereal Blue Being]

Here I think INTERPOL refers to those who would think nothing of breaking the law whether its for religious ideology or pleasurable/egotistical/adrenaline addictive reasons and I don't mean littering, jaywalking or speeding. It seems there has always been a renegade, violent rogue, extreme anarchist element to every society. Now that the majority of mankind (at least in modern society) no longer has to hunt for their food or watch out for animals of prey every moment. And they don't need the village, the clan or the town for protection. Some are wrecking havock on society to get a "thrill" and/or to attempt to create their type of utopia. I truely believe there is a DNA element that needs to be "expressed" in most of these individuals. Perhaps it was genetically engineered into them eons ago. or it is being electronically induced. It is just that now modern technology is making it possible for these extremists to do city, state, nation,and global and beyond damage . Since WWII and the invention of the A-bomb we are in uncharted territory-- this alone is a great reason for underground cities all over the world.

Plain fact is the root of this kind of thinking is two-fold.

Power cannot be expanded or used unless there is a viable object to fear.
And this always wears the cloak of protection.
To speak against fear, or denying the need for, or give lie to protection makes you "dangerous".

In the end, power will not prioritize based upon actual danger, only danger to itself.

Bringing that under control, there lies the true path to freedom.
