After Paris, ISIS Moves Propaganda Machine To Darknet (csoonline.com)
itwbennett writes: Over the weekend, researcher Scot Terban came across the new website of Al-Hayat Media Center, the media division of Daesh (aka ISIS/ISIL), in a post on Shamikh forum (a known jihadi bulletin board), 'someone had posted the new address and instructions for reaching it,' writes CSO's Steve Ragan. The website hosts the usual anti-Western iconography, as well as songs (Nasheeds) and poems for mujahids in various locations. Terban has mirrored the website and its files; he says he plans to publish more details in the coming days. 'Over the years, there have been several claims made that Daesh had propaganda and recruitment hubs on the Darknet, but no one has ever published proof of those claims or explored how the propaganda machine operates in public,' says Ragan.

on "the darknet"?
What is the "darknet"? tor sites? freenet sites? or is darknet an actual service/thing?
I'm god, but it's a bit of a drag really...
This whole ISIL thing seems to come out of a "mad max" movie . Is this all manufactured? . This is how Hollywood would make an expensive bad movie .
The Powers That Be are going to use this development to get manditory backdoors, key escrow and all the other heinous shit you people hate so much. Enjoy your open borders. Hope it was worth it.
ISIL on Tor means NSA/CIA own Tor. That is all.
That ToR and the darknet is a terrorist system, that must be stopped.
I say, boy, pay attention when I’m talkin’ to ya, boy
Propaganda is only useful if people see it. If they're moving it to somewhere no one can find it well, good riddance.
And each death of an innocent is a tragedy, regardless of where it happened.
Expected range of violence. No one in the US bats an eye at the Chicago inner city murder rate, but if a single bullet is fired in the prosperous parts of the same city it'll be national news.
No one in "the west" wants to actively take sides in yet another round of the same tribal warfare that's been going on since before the last time the tribal warfare burnt down all the libraries in their reach. But when one of the tribes decides to attack outside their little sandbox, it's noticed.
I'm not defending this, I think the selective outrage is reprehensible, but it can be useful to understand. The public opinion is not concerned with the actual levels of violence, only about changes in the level of violence. Anything you've apparently been able to live through is considered tolerable as it is, but if things get worse, that's a time for panic.
you misspelled Burkanet
Its clear ISIS is not making the same mistakes other radicals have made. Paris attack was generally under the radar. This is 9-11 all over again given the secrecy kept and lack of intelligence. The train gunman was only a tragedy avoided by luck not intelligence. A clear lesson we are not fighting dumb thugs.
If "the terrorists" have been forced out of the regular internet, then it's a victory for the good guys. The Darknet is not conducive to propaganda activity. Propoganda needs to be readily available and ubiquitous in order to succeed. Being relegated to the Darknet is not going to help the Isis cause in any way.
But let's all forget all that and put on the fear-monger hats for a bit, eh?
I thought ISIS's whole thing was recruiting people through social media.
Kinda hard to reach the public when you take your propaganda machine into part of the Internet most people don't know even exists.
I don't know how many Syrian and Iraqi civilians died in the past year,
Syrians are voting with their feet. They are undertaking horrendous and dangerous journeys to get to Europe . . . all which is better than living under a Muslim ruled country.
If Islam is so great, how come so many people are trying to get away from it? It seems that the only folks who want to go to the Islamic state are teenage boys, who like the idea of buying teenage girls sex slaves.
Islam is worse than Nazis . . . and until we acknowledge that, the West will suffer wherever we offer Muslims refuge.

Update your joke to a level appropriate for this site populated by genius-level intellects and try again.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law
That wasn't funny the first time. Please stop, you're embarrassing yourself.
There are a lot of talented programmers out there using TOR who just might not appreciate a disruption in business by a bunch of religious nuts. Anonymous has already voiced their disapproval.
I foresee highly amusing consequences of ISIS attempts to make use of "darknet" resources. They may find that all of their orders for rations have been modified to include bacon and all of their ammunition is rerouted to Sweden.
Please do not read this sig. Thank you.
There has been quite a bit published in the news about people being killed in Syria and Iraq. I don't know what news you are reading, but I have seen it all over Fox, CNN, and BBC.
Here is the reports of the Kurds retaking Sinjar for the Yazidi people who were attacked by ISIS:
http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/11/...
Kobani was all over the news, how did you miss it?
http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/27/...
This story has been all over the news, of course there are things that we in the west miss out on, and some of that is due to the violence of war itself, not all the news actually get out.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
This is the sort of ridiculous FUD that makes people not want to talk to idiots like you.
"If Islam is so great, how come..." it's because they aren't running from "Islam", they're running from bad leaders.
You may as well ask why Americans expat themselves "if Democracy is so good".
Oh, they're running from it now, but what do you wanna bet in two generations, when they've out breed the indigenous Europeans, they'll get nostalgic and cry for sharia law, and the SJW crowd will stand for their particular brand of oppression on the principal that its not the white patriarchal oppression which has treated them so well.
If Islam is so great, how come so many people are trying to get away from it?
They aren't. They are taking Islam with them.
What they are trying to get away from is war and the destruction that goes with all that; caused by fanatical extremist nutjobs they don't agree with but lack the power to do anything about.
It seems that the only folks who want to go to the Islamic state are ...
Maladjusted, unhappy, people who feel afraid, helpless, and isolated who want to be part of something bigger and stronger to validate themselves and feel powerful. So... the same sort of people who join street gangs, and for much the same reasons.
Islam is worse than Nazis
ISIS is getting up there. They're still a genocide of millions behind them, but they aren't good people that's for sure. And we shouldn't wait for them ratchet up the death toll any further.
But why blame Islam? Some nutjobs perverted and distorted the religion to integrate it with their propaganda . The root religion is no more at fault here than Christianity was the root problem of the Nazis and their racist perversion of Christianity "Positive Christianity".
West will suffer wherever we offer Muslims refuge.
Your comparison to the Nazi's seems apt again. Were all German's that fled Germany during world war 2 closet Nazi's? That the only reason anyone fled Germany was to start up local Nazi seed groups?
I gather, you fear that any Christians lurking about are secretly planning Spanish Inquisition 2.0 too.

but no one has ever published proof of those claims or explored how the propaganda machine operates in public
On the other hand, just turn on the TV and watch our own propaganda machine in public. I don't know how many Syrian and Iraqi civilians died in the past year, but it's surely bound to be a multitude of the recent Western victims.
Why is the western world caring more about itself considered propaganda to you? Yes its a tragedy that terrorism driven by radical islam is killing thousands of innocents across the middle east, but as someone from a western country, why would I not care about a tragedy in France more? We have a much stronger relationship with them, and a much greater shared history. This doesn't make the death of muslims in Syria or other middle eastern country any less tragic, but it can mean that the general populace will feel more strongly about an attack on a group they feel more related to.
Instead of being outraged by one group giving another sympathy, if you a muslim, what should really outrage you is not why the western world doesn't care as much, but why their own governments in the middle east simply don't care. Islamic terrorists are murdering thousands of innocent muslims often in their own countries, or countries next to theirs, so why aren't they coming down on the terrorists? Why do we see no bold comments by Iran and Saudi Arabia where they are willing to put aside their difference to stop the slaughter of fellow muslims? This sensless slaughter has been going on for decades, instead they are silent in this area.
http://isdratetp4donyfy.onion/ - Link to the site in question, if you want to take a personal look at the scum of the earth.
It's the first result on Twitter when searching .onion.link, and the start (isd...) matches the badly smudged-out URL in TFA's screenshot, so that's the same hidden service.
I'll just leave this here and with a little bit of luck some elite haxxor will mess with their shit.
Is there some kind of disease where you can't tell the difference between "Islam isn't the same as Nazism" and "Islam is super great"?
I *don't like Islam*, but let's take your comparison of Islam being worse than Nazis. Blaming Islam for ISIS is like blaming Christianity for Nazis. Nazis were nominally Christian and used Christian symbology. There are many recorded speeches where they explicitly declare Germany (Nazi Germany) a Christian nation. But it just doesn't actually reflect on Christianity, and people can also rightly point to things the Nazis did that seem contradictory to those statements or weaken institutions traditionally thought of as Christian. You'll also find that ISIS is brutalizing Muslims, is opposed by most of the Muslim world, and explicitly denounces large movements as heretic that most of the world considers Muslim.
It's just a stupid synecdoche to conflate ISIS or Al Qaeda with Islam. Argue about Islam on its own terms, not by holding up their worst representatives as if it was a meaningful reflection.
Every time there's one of these tragedies, two things happen:
1. Huge masses of Muslims denounce it and give either the "not all Muslims" speech or the "no true Scotsman/Muslim" speech.
2. Huge numbers of non-Muslims ask why Muslims aren't denouncing it and act like they stand together on this.
(that above effect also happens with non-Muslim terrorism terrorism)

And that's the problem, they flee instead of facing the danger and taking care of it.
What Daesh (IS) really want is to cause chaos in the rest of the world with all the refugees and by that also infiltrate countries with some of their own.
If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker would destroy civilization.
It's not tribal warfare. It's far from tribal warfare. It's a battle of ideologies. Saying it's tribes ignores the real reasons groups like these get together, which ensures it will happen again.
You are confusing Islam with fundamental Islam. Doing so makes you indistinguishable from a lazy xenophobe.
Your argument would make sense if the only difference between Syria and Europe was Islam. Clearly all the violence and bombings and fucked-up economy etc. are not the same as in Europe, so your "logic" is a farce, only proving your desire to leap to conclusions which bolster your pre-existing hatred, or your complete lack of logical ability. Neither is particularly becoming. I guess if you and your family were living in a place which had attacks of the magnitude we saw on Friday every single day, you'd probably want to move your family out. These people are doing that, and you not only fail to recognise why they are moving, but decide to inject your own messed-up understanding of religion and intolerance onto them, when that's the last thing in the world they need or deserve.
I'd say lazy xenophobia is worse than Nazis, as that's what brought the Nazis to power, and it's apparently something you are a great fan of.
You suck as a human being, and I wish you a full recovery.
How are they supposed to take care of it when the world's powers are engaged in a proxy war between an entrenched dictator and well-armed groups. It's all well and good asking why they don't stay, but it only takes a few seconds to figure out why. There is sweet fuck-all they can do.
If Islam is so great, how come so many people are trying to get away from it?
The refugees are not trying to get away from Islam. They are trying to get away from war, bombs and dying in a hail of bullets.

Why do we see no bold comments by Iran and Saudi Arabia where they are willing to put aside their difference to stop the slaughter of fellow muslims?
Are you really as clueless as this question indicates?
You need to jam it down people's throats for it to work. Hiding your propaganda is like putting a billboard at the bottom of a lake.

Bingo. Communists hate the germanic man so much that they will ally themselves with mohammedics.
Our only solace will be that the commies will be killed first, as soon as the mohammedics are the majority of the population.
Mohammedism explicitly requests the destruction of any other ideology or religion. Killing people of other faith is explicitly called for.
They have a history of doing that. And lots of young men to
Implement.
They can only move freely into out countries because they nicely bribe the battenbergs, the bushes and the clintons.
The saudis finance mohammedic terror worldwide. Erdogan and islamabad are on their side.
Our corrupt bushes, battenbergs and clintons protect this.
In other words, isis is the doing of prince charles of wales.
