While the mainstream media displays outrage over the string of terrorist attacks that have been plaguing the world since the emergence of the death cult in the Middle East called ISIS, it largely overlooks appearance of impersonators and fabricators of the false jihadist attacks on terrorism theater. For instance, shortly after San Bernardino attacks in California last year, a 45-year-old French teacher claimed to be attacked by a masked ISIS assailant. Within four hours of investigation, he admitted blatantly that the story was his fabrication. As usual and expected the blatant liar stimulated a media hype instantly against radical Islamist terrorism.
The French teacher who had claimed to be attacked by a masked ISIS assailant admitted that the story was his fabrication
It is interesting to note that more than one media outlet that hastened to publish this horrendous crime perpetrated by ISIS did not remove the fabricated story from their websites even after the story proved false. Outlets however, added a one-liner update link, hardly visible to the readers but remained silent over the motivations behind the hate crime. In fact, nobody is saying that this false accusation itself is a hate crime. It is not difficult to imagine how boisterous and noisy they might have behaved otherwise. Nobody bothered to discuss that if this false attack would have been believed, what may be the consequences for the citizens of already terrorized French Capital, for the vulnerable refugees who are fleeing from outcomes of war on terror, on the Western Muslims who have remained in a constant state of trial since 9/11. Finally, how would the pundits forecasting the clash of civilization would have reacted?
This is not the first time that ISIS impersonators, non-Muslim hoaxer or self-wounded victims of terrorism have reported false stories to the police and authorities. Below are some of the hoax stories. All attested by major news outlets and can be confirmed on given links.
The 20-year old non-Muslim impersonated as a ISIS Jihadist publicly called for a series of attacks in western countries.
In September 2015, FBI arrested a Florida Jew, Joshua Ryne Goldberg impersonating an Australian ISIS Jihadist as 'Australi witness' on the internet when Australian Federal police informed FBI of his presence in Florida. The 20-year-old who claimed online that he was working with other ISIS jihadists and publicly called for a series of attacks in western countries. Goldberg admitted sharing bomb recipes like those used in Boston Marathon and urged Muslims to attack Kansas city 9/11 memorial commemoration with such bombs. He also used Twitter to incite attacks at an exhibition in Texas, Garland. Upon his advice, two Muslim men attempted an attack at the exhibition and were killed by police. Goldberg as 'Australi Witness' then praised them online as martyrs.
It is obvious that this was a well-designed project not the mindless activity of a nerd but the ease with which he was released indicates that there was an influential lobby behind him.
Remarkably, Goldberg admitted all the charges including making a bomb similar to those used in Boston bombing but he was released on the grounds that he is mentally incompetent to stand the trial. It is obvious that this was a well-designed project not the mindless activity of a nerd but the ease with which he was released indicates that there was an influential lobby behind him. It should be particularly noticed that renowned terrorism analyst Rita Katz had been briefing the western parliaments on the basis of information retrieved from Goldberg's online personas.
The fake jihadist personas were also used to besmirch Amnesty International and the Human Rights Law Centre
According to Sydney morning Herald, "Goldberg also allegedly created a number of fake jihadist accounts, which interacted with the fake Thorne account, and then allegedly sent screengrabs of the interactions to journalists, at least one of whom published a fake interaction in an article of The West Australian in April 2015." Article further reveals,"the fake jihadist personas were also used to besmirch Amnesty International and the Human Rights Law Centre by claiming the fake jihadists had employment ties or donated money to the organizations."
A white man identified himself as Abdul Yasin, made a 911 call and threatened to blow the Statue of liberty
On April 24, 2015, Jason Paul Smith, identified himself as Abdul Yasin, made a 911 call and threatened to blow the Statue of liberty. He used a phone service for the hearing impaired service, and impersonated as an ISIS jihadist resulting in the evacuation of more than 3200 tourist from liberty Island in New York. The prosecutors revealed Smith had made other 911 calls too with the same iPad, identifying himself as "Isis allah Bomb maker " and had threatened to attack Times Square and kill police officers at the Brooklyn Bridge. Smith has been pleaded guilty but surprisingly there is no Wikipedia page about this incidence.
Psychology professor was charged with false reporting that her car was vandalized with anti-Semitic slurs
In 2004, a Claremont McKenna College Psychology professor Kerri Dunn, 39, was convicted of falsely reporting that her car was vandalized and spray-painted with racist and anti-Semitic slurs while she was speaking at a campus forum on racial tolerance. She became a suspect after two witnesses reported seeing her vandalizing the car herself. Investigators also said she gave them conflicting reports about what had happened.
A French woman claimed that she was assaulted on a Paris train later admitted making up anti-semitic story
On 9 July 2004, a young French woman who became known as Marie L. declared to the police that she was assaulted on a Paris suburban train between the stations of Louvres and Sarcelles with her thirteen-month-old baby by six young men whom she described as Arabs and blacks. She told that assailants allegedly beat her, cut her hair, and ripped her clothes with a knife. They then drew three swastikas on her stomach and knocked over the stroller with her baby. She claimed about 20 passengers on train witnessed the incident. Later when no witness could be traced and surveillance camera reports denied any such activity, she admitted making up the story of the anti-semitic attack.
The revelation that the anti-semitic attack story was fabrication was met with almost total political silence.
According to the journal of Jerusalem Centre for public affairs initially all French public institutions condemned the anti-semitic attack but the revelation that the story was fabricated was met with almost total political silence.
While mainstream international media didn't bother to find out the motives, it is quite obvious that such stories are made up to accelerate the already rampant Islamophobia in the western world. Every terror attack, linked with radical jihadists, leaves millions of peaceful Muslims flummoxed and speechless, especially those living in the western hemisphere. Ironically, responsibility is always accepted proudly by the death cult even if evidence and circumstances tell another story. It is also noticeable that this sinister Middle Eastern death cult prefers to deliver their videos to Maryland-based SITE research Institute(the acronym for Search for International Terrorist entities) ran by Katz.
Apart from manipulating western people's perception towards Muslims, there may be more sinister plots of radicalizing Western Muslims through online activities. International media boasts the sophisticated and hi-tech online network of ISIS. From Goldberg's example, it is obvious that he was successful in radicalizing Muslim Youth at least once in Garland, Texas. It is notable that is the only hoaxer story that has been made public through Australian Federal Police and the objective reporting of Sydney Morning Herald. None of the North American mainstream media outlets published the story in its objective context. There may be other groups working behind him but FBI is too busy to trace future Jihadist plots by the Islamist terrorist.
These
groups may be exploited and backed by terrorism experts like Katz who claim to
get access to Al-Qaeda and ISIS videos before their scheduled release dates. It
is not out of the question that these organized representatives are
running the actual media cell of ISIS who is allegedly supported financially
and militarily by western powers and their Middle Eastern allies. After all,
these impersonators are more capable of convincing and radicalizing western
teenagers than the Middle Eastern fighters of the cult from Iraq and
Syria. It is surprising that a considerable ISIS manpower comes from these
West European Muslim converts. The point here being who can run such a
successful advertising campaign for a backpacking trip to Syria and Iraq
for24-hour our western Muslim convert.
More surprising than the actions of these hoaxers is the attitude of media, intelligence and the judiciary towards them. Their activities are rarely revealed. Media overlooks their stories. Their motives are never investigated and questioned by the media and politicians.Apart from inadequate media coverage, their names are not released to the public as in the case of the French teacher. Even if they are arrested and prosecuted as in the case of Joshua, they are released without conviction on the basis of mental incompetence. Joshua who taught bomb making techniques, incited terror attacks on July 4th and was responsible for Texas incident in which two teenagers were radicalized and then killed was released by the court saying that he is mentally incompetent to stand a trial.
Their actions are not only promoting hatred
towards Muslims but also responsible in radicalization of Whites and
Muslims alike. In fact they themselves are radicalized against
Muslims and media pundits should try to find the answer that who radicalized
these impersonators and for what purpose?
