DIA Cyber Warrior delivers first Worldwide Threat Assessment

Vincent R. Stewart, Lieutenant General, U.S. Marine Corps was promoted into the position of Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. While our friend and colleague Lt. General Ronald Burgess (ret.), now at Auburn University here in Alabama, certainly understood and respected the importance of the cyber domain, General Stewart represents the first time we have a true cyber warrior at the helm of the DIA.  Immediately prior to his appointment as Director of the DIA, General Stewart served as the commander of the Marine Force Cyber Command (described at the end of this blog post.)  General Stewart was director of Marine Intelligence from 2009 to 2013, rising through the ranks in a long and distinguished career that began with humble beginnings in Jamaica and includes many decorations for valor and leadership.

Worldwide Threat Assessment - Cyber

On February 3, 2015, Lt. General Stewart delivered his first Worldwide Threat Assessment to the Senate Armed Services Committee. (Transcript here). So what did our new DIA Cyber Warrior leader have to say about Cyber threats?

The briefing began, appropriately, with a status of Iraq and Afghanistan, focusing on terrorist threats from ISIL, al-Qa'ida, and the Taliban. After that he touched on certain other "violent extremist organizations" and concluded with a region-by-region and global threat summary.

In his discussion of ISIL, al-Qa'ida, and the Taliban, no technology or internet discussion was featured. Expanding beyond Iraq, AQAP (Al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula) was said to be focused on commercial aviation targeted with innovative explosions. AQIM (Al-Qa'ida in Lands of the Islamic Mahgreb) is mostly focused on kidnapping and attacks against allies. The Al-Nusrah Front and the Khorasan group were said to be focused on providing personnel and training in Syria, but with an interest in targeting western interests. IRGC-QF (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force) and Lebanese Hizballah were described a "instruments of Iran's foreign policy and its ability to project power in Iraq, Syria, and beyond." Boko Haram was described as having the potential to expand beyond Nigeria to become a "significan regional crisis."

Cyber Operations

The first mention of cyber comes with regard to Russia, mentioning that Russian actions against Kyiv included "the use of propaganda and information operations, cyberspace operations, covert agents, ..."While the other regional assessments did not include cyber individually, cyber was brought up in the concluding portion of the remarks in the section labeled "Global Threats."

General Stewart's points on the lack of consensus about the status of cyber attacks was especially telling. The "big bullets" from the cyber portion of the talk seem to be:

• aggressive attacks against DoD and allied defense networks
• increased cyber-espionage against DoD and Defense Contractor networks
• concerns about supply chain vulnerabilities
• increased use of cyber operations in regional conflicts
• a lack of international "norms of behavior" in cyberspace
• freedom of action, especially by Iran and North Korea, to conduct peacetime cyber offensive attacks on western interests without fear of reprisal
• the use of the Internet by non-state actors for Communication, Propaganda, Fundraising, and Recruitment

Below I quote the General's remarks on cyber in full:

The global cyber threat environment presents numerous persistent challenges to the security and integrity of DoD networks and information. Threat actors now demonstrate an increased ability and willingness to conduct aggressive cyberspace operations -- including both service disruptions and espionage -- against U.S. and allied defense information networks. Similarly, we note with increasing concern recent destructive cyber actions against U.S. private-sector networks demonstrating capabilities that could hold U.S. government and defense networks at risk. For 2015, we expect espionage against U.S government defense and defense contractor networks to continue largely unabated, while destructive network attack capabilities continue to develop and proliferate worldwide. We are also concerned about the threat to the integrity of the U.S. defense procurement networks posed by supply chain vulnerabilities from counterfeit and sub-quality components.

Threat actors increasingly are willing to incorporate cyber options into regional and global power projection capabilities. The absence of universally accepted and enforceable norms of behavior in cyberspace contributes to this situation. In response, states worldwide are forming "cyber command" organizations and developing national capabilities. Similarly, cyberspace operations are playing increasingly important roles in regional conflicts -- for example, in eastern Ukraine -- where online network disruptions, espionage, disinformation and propaganda activities are now integral to the conflict.
Iran and North Korea now consider disruptive and destructive cyberspace operations a valid instrument of statecraft, including during what the U.S. considers peacetime. These states likely view cyberspace operations as an effective means of imposing costs on their adversaries while limiting the likelihood of damaging reprisals.

Non-state actors often express the desire to conduct malicious cyber attacks, but likely lack the capability to conduct high-level cyber operations. However, non-state actors, such as Hizballah, AQAP, and ISIL will continue during the next year to effectively use the Internet for communication, propaganda, fundraising and recruitment.

MARFORCYBER background

In January, General Stewart passed control of the U.S. Marine Corps Forces Cyber Command (MARFORCYBER)to Major General Daniel J. O'Donohue.


(a somewhat dated biography of General O'Donohue is available from the Armed Services Committee)

The command, established in October 2009, was complemented by the Navy's U.S. Tenth Fleet Cyber Command. According to the Marine Corps' "Concepts and Programs" document, the mission of MARFORCYBER is to "plan, coordinate, integrate, synchronize, and direct full spectrum Marine Corps cyberspace operations. This includes Department of Defense (DoD) Global Information Grid (GIG) operations, defensive cyber operations, and when directed, planning and executing offensive cyberspace operations. These operations support the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF), joint, and combined cyberspace requirements that enable freedom of action across all warfighting domains and deny the same to adversarial forces."

MARFORCYBER has two sub-units, Marine Corps Network Operations and Security Center (MCNOSC), which defends the Marine's own network, and Company L, Marine Cryptologic Support Battalion (MCSB), which plans and executes offensive cyberspace operations.

Universities Targeted with "Library Account" phish

Many universities across the country have been targeted with phishing emails that warn their students that their "Library Account" is going to expire. As with so many cybercrime issues, these crimes could be addressed much differently if the Powers That Be were aware that these were not individual cases, but an on-going campaign across victims across the country!

Towards that end, I've collected full text examples of many of these phish, with links to the University web pages where there students have been warned. Hopefully we can start warning people of national on-going campaigns like this BEFORE they are victimized!

While I was reviewing University Phish for this project, I was especially impressed with the phishing details shared at University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and University of Pennsvylvania. Both are great examples of giving students enough details to understand the scope of the risk at hand.

Phishing Success Rates and Google Phish

Last week a group of Google employees led by Elie Bursztein joined UCSD researchers Andreas Pitsillidis and Stefan Savage in presenting the findings of a study on phishing to the ACM Internet Measurement Conference in Vancouver, British Columbia. Their paper, Handcrafted Fraud and Extortion: Manual Account Hijacking in the Wild (12 page PDF) was picked up broadly in the press, and as usual, wildly misinterpreted.

At least 110 articles referring to the study were found in a simple Google News search with headlines ranging from the somewhat accurate:

• Manual Phishing Gmail Attacks Found To Be Very Effective - Top Tech News, Nov 9, 2014
• Google Study Finds Email Scams Are More Effective Than You'd Expect - Huffington Post, Nov 7, 2014
• Old-time phishing scams are working just fine, Google finds - Naked Security, Nov 11, 2014

to the extreme bending of the facts for headline value such as these:

• Phishing attacks on email accounts are successful 45 percent of the time - Firstpost, Nov 10, 2014
• Phishing scams work 45% of the times: Google study - Times of India, Nov 10, 2014
• Have You Been Scammed? Phishing Emails Successful 45% of the Time - Crave Online, Nov 11, 2014
• A scary number of you are still falling for phishing scams, says Google - Nov 10, 2014

What did Google and UCSD Actual Say about Phishing?

First, the 45% quote. For the 100 Google/Gmail phishing sites that the researchers studied, they found that depending on the structure of the page, as few as 3% of the visitors filled out the phishing form and submitted their data. Overall 13% of the visitors to the webforms shared their personal data with the phishers, while in the most extreme example, 45% of the visitors to the phishing web page completed the form and submitted their personal data.

There were several interesting findings in the study. A few that I found interesting included:

• 35% of phishing sites target victims' email
• 21% of phishing sites target banking credentials
• A growing number of phishing sites are targeting App Stores and Social networking credentials
• Account takeovers are primarily Fast and Foreign:
  • 20% of compromised Google accounts were logged into within 30 minutes
  • The top countries of origin for hijackers were China, Ivory Coast, Malaysia, Nigeria, and South Africa
• The easiest way to have your account restored is to have registered an SMS telephone number for out of band contact.

Manual Hijacking

The focus of this study was the process of Manually Hijacking accounts belonging to Google users. Because of that focus, it is not clear how broadly the observed behaviors can or should be projected onto other types of phishing. At Malcovery Security we observe 600 to 800 newly created phishing sites per day. This study focused primarily on Gmail/Google phish from January 2014, and for part of the study focused specifically on 100 Gmail phishing websites.

Google provided some statistics on how widely the problem of manual hijacking has been seen in the past. Over calendar 2012-2013, Google's security teams found that approximately 9 manual hijacking cases per day per million active users occurred. With over 500 million subscribers, Google is dealing with thousands of such account hijacks per day.

With Google participating in the research, researchers were able to determine that when an account is taken over, the criminals login to the account and search the email history and address books to determine how best to monetize the account. It seems that every week someone will make the comment in my presence "Yes, I have malware on my computer, but the worst that might happen is they get my email password!" But think about what is possible with that? How would you reset your password at your Bank? Amazon.com? eBay? On most of those sites, clicking "I Forgot My Password" results in an email being sent with a "Reset My Password" link! If the criminal finds an email from your bank in your email history, they now know exactly which bank to visit to click the "I Forgot My Password!" The email account is the key to the entire balance of your account!

The researchers also found that the scam we first wrote about in 2009 in the post Traveler Scams: Email Phishers Newest Scam is still quite prevalent. In this scam, because the criminal has access to your recent sent emails and address book, they are able to contact your friends and family with news of a tragedy while traveling where they desperately need money wired overseas to help them through the crisis. I've met many individuals who have wired money to their friends before realizing it was a scam! They often have stories of how they KNEW the email was truly from their friend, because when they asked questions, their friend replied with details only the friend would know. Often these details made use of prior "private" conversations in the phishing victim's email sent items box!

Popular Email Phish from Malcovery's ThreatHQ System

In the past seven days, Malcovery Security confirmed 416 distinct phishing URLs related to Google and their properties. These URLs were hosted on 207 distinct domain names on 174 different IP addresses. By country, the United States is the most prominent host of phishing sites, not just for Google, but for nearly every brand that does business in the USA. Of those 174 IP addresses, 90 are in the United States.

Google phish locations: November 5-12, 2014

Although this phishing site is PRIMARILY imitating DropBox, it still steals Gmail and other email credentials:

The domain hosting this phish was "t-online.de".

This version brings in many cable-provider logos for email address choices, rather than relying on "Other Email" as some of the others do:

This version brings the logos of many Chinese language email providers into the mix:

One of the earlier forms of the phish:

These just a few examples of the "look and feel" of some of the 400+ Google-related phishing URLs we've seen in the past seven days at Malcovery security. Most of them were seen many times each!

US Federal Grant Scam: Greendot MoneyPak Edition

Last week we shared a blog post about phone scams claiming to have a Warrant For Your Arrest. After sharing some information about that scam, we've been receiving student-generated tips from several of our students about similar phone scams.

US Federal Grant Scam

Today's scam comes to us courtesy of UAB Criminal Justice student Kyle Jones. Kyle works on the Malware Research Team at the UAB Center for Information Assurance and Joint Forensics Research.

The scam begins with a phone call, in our case coming from callerid 305.356.9999, claiming that we have been selected to receive a Grant from the Federal Government because of our participation in a survey. Of all the people who have taken this IRS Survey, 1700 people have been selected to receive this grant. The caller then instructs us that we should go to a Western Union location near us and we should call them back once we are at the Western Union for instructions on how to receive our $9,500 grant.

The callback number was (516) 554-0006, which seems to be a New York number in Garden City.

So, we waited a bit and called the criminals back from the Western Union store in my office. (grin).

When we called the 516 number, the line was answered "US Federal Grants" and we were asked for the code that we had been given during the first call. I tried providing a slightly wrong code, and learned that they actually are tracking the codes, because she was unable to look up our information. We provided the correct code and learned that it was "very important that we don't go into the Western Union Store yet!" She then asked me if we were near a grocery store, such as a Seven-11? I told her I had a Publix store nearby but she said that wouldn't work. After some back and forth, we learned that a CVS Pharmacy would work for her needs. She instructed me that I needed me to go to the CVS and buy a GreenDot MoneyPak card for $200.

"You need to put $200 on the card to activate the Money Transfer Control Number, but you will get the $200 back, it will be reimbursed with your grant.

Now, simply let me tell you, you are not going to pay the money to me or to my department. This is your money and it is going to be reimbursed back to you. Before we can transfer the money you have to make a registration with the Federal Reserve Bank and once you make the registration then with the help of the Federal Reserve Bank registration number, I will generate the Money Transfer Control Number so that you can receive your money from the Western Union Store."

Here's the audio clip of that part . . .

(audio)How it works - the woman at US Federal Grants, who sometimes claimed this grant was from the IRS, tells us we need to pay a $200 registration fee.

She then "transferred us" to the Federal Reserve Bank as you can hear with this link.

(audio)Transferred to the Federal Reserve Bank - Kevin Jones, manager of the Federal Reserve Bank took my call and helped me.

Kevin was good enough to explain the whole process of how to purchase a GreenDot MoneyPak card for $200 so that I could "within 5 minutes" pick up my $10,000 - (the $9800 grant + $200 reimbursement for my registration) - from the Western Union Counter. Here's the audio of him explaining it to us:

What To Do if you are a US Federal Grant Scam victim

• The Best Place to report any type of online scam is the FBI's Internet Crime & Complaint Center. To go directly to their complaint page, use this link:

  https://complaint.ic3.gov.

  Although the form has many questions that you may not be able to answer, complete the form to the best of your ability with the information you DO know. Specifically make sure to note things such as:

  • What name did the person use?
  • Did they call you by name?
  • What agency, department, or company did they claim to be with?
  • How much money did they want you to pay?
  • What number(s) shows up in your callerid?

DHS / REN-ISAC / Multi-State ISAC Advisory

On August 18, 2014, the Department of Homeland Security released an advisory titled "University Payroll Theft Scheme" that cautioned Universities to be wary of this scheme.

Some of the email subjects that were mentioned in that advisory include:

• Your Salary Review Documents
• Important Salary Notification
• Your Salary Raise Confirmation
• connection from unexpected IP
• RE: Mailbox has exceeded its storage limit.

According to the DHS advisory, this scam has been seen repeatedly at a number of universities dating back to at least August of 2013!

Warrant for Your Arrest phone scams

Yesterday the scammers tried to hit the wrong victim! Neera Desai works for us at Malcovery Security as a Threat Intelligence Analyst on the malware team. She had received a voicemail on her phone while she was in one of her UAB Computer Science classes and knew that this could be a clue towards something big. She played it for me, and we provided a copy to law enforcement.

The recording is available here as a m4a file (QuickTime will play it):

SheriffScam.m4a

Here's a transcript:

This message is for (student name). Hi this is officer Steven Jones and I'm calling you from Jefferson County. The reason of my call is to inform you that we have received a legal complaint against you on ??? identity. So if you want to be on the safer side and not get arrested contact on 646 759 4934 I repeat (646) 759-4934. If you disregard this message you alone are responsible for the legal actions that are taken against you. Thank you and have a great day!

Later the same day HER ROOMMATE had the same scam against her, only she happened to be at a place where she could answer the phone! Her call was from "Officer Austin Reed" instead of "Officer Steven Jones".

When we started digging into this scam we realized that this is an EXTREMELY POPULAR scam! We shared the information with the North Alabama Identity Theft Task Force, the Internet Crime & Complaint Center (IC3.gov) and the National Cyber Forensics Training Alliance (NCFTA) and have learned quite a bit more about the scope and range of this attack.

The Scam Structure

There are three parts to the "signature" of this attack:

1. The victim receives a telephone call with a spoofed callerid to make it appear to be from either the IRS (they often spoof the "1040 hotline"), a law enforcement agency geographically proximal to the potential victim's location, or 911, the emergency contact number used in the United States.
2. The victim will be told that they have committed a crime, which may include running a red light and being caught by a traffic camera, failing to appear for Jury Duty, failing to pay your taxes or failing to pay them on time, or, if an international person, having a problem with immigration paperwork.
3. The victim will be instructed to send a payment immediately, with amounts ranging from $500 to $2,500, and threatened with immediate arrest if they fail to comply.

Recent Alabama Phone Scams

There does seem to be "locality waves" to this attack, where certain geographies will be heavily targeted, and then the attack will move on to another locality. As an example, in my area, dialing code (205), central Alabama, we have had several organizations do warnings about this type of attack, including:

• November 5, Fox 6 WBRC has Birmingham, AL Police Lieutenant Sean Edwards explain that several citizens have called saying they had received these calls spoofing the telephone number of the Birmingham PD (205) 254-1700. See Birmingham Police issues warning to citizens about possible spoofing.
• October 22, 2014, Birmingham News website AL.com quotes the Shelby County Sheriff's Office as having several complaints about this scam imitating their office. The Alabaster, AL Police Department also reported that they have been receiving calls from victims of this scam in the same article. See Scam Alert: 2 Shelby County law enforcement agencies warning of bogus calls.
• September 24, Birmingham Police Commander Terry Kiernan warns of phone scammers imitating the IRS. His department received 20 complaints in the past few days. (See: Local residents complain of new IRS phone scam
• September 22, Hoover, AL Police Department warn of a "Warrant For Your Arrest Scam" on their Facebook page.

Other parts of the country have also experienced this scam, including:

• November 6, Iowa State University and the Ames Police Department are receiving scam reports including calls claiming to be university and utility company officials.
• November 6, West Virginia's WCHS and WVAH report Putnam County Sheriff reports a Jury Duty Scam version, where the victim is accused of not showing up for Jury Duty and told to pay $4,500
• October 28, Jury duty scam targets Rockwall County - "My name is Lt. Gary Phillips, I'm with the Rockwall County Sheriff's Department. I need you to call me back at 972-841-5687
• October 22, Pittsburgh PD tells WPXI.com about "Warrant out for your arrest, send money" call scam
• October 22, Kenton County and Hamilton County, Kentucky tell WLWT5 News that a fake "Deputy Morgan" asks for money to keep you out of jail
• October 10, Houston FBI warns of Jury Duty Scam
• September 5, Lee County, Florida Sheriff's Office tells NBC 2Jury duty scam resurfacing locally
• September 3, Parker County Sheriff warns of jury duty scams - Sheriff Larry Fowler says the caller asks for credit card information to pay the fine.
• August 23, Bastrop Police Department warns of calls stating a warrant is out for your arrest.
• April 25, Elizabethtown Police Department, (See Arrest Warrant Scam has come to Elizabethtown
• April 14, 2014 - IRS Reiterates Warning of Pervasive Telephone Scam

What to Do?

There are TENS OF THOUSANDS of scam victims of this type all over the country. But without your clues, law enforcement doesn't know if this is one large organized crime group, ten groups, twenty groups, or a thousand individual con men acting alone. It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you add your clues to the investigation.

• The Best Place to report any type of online scam is the FBI's Internet Crime & Complaint Center. To go directly to their complaint page, use this link:

Terror in Oklahoma: Prison Islam + Internet Radicalization

When an Islamic jihadist decapitates a man in Syria, the world cries for air strikes and declares it to be terrorism.

When an Islamic jihadist decapitates a woman in Oklahoma, the media was falling all over itself with headlines such as these:

MSNBC No evidence Oklahoma beheading linked to terrorism, police say

The Hill Authorities: No terrorist link to Oklahoma beheading suspect

KFOR FBI: Oklahoma beheading not linked to terrorism

The problem with those statements, of course, is that they weren't true. They were statement made in the heat of the moment by officials hoping to prevent panic.

Alton A Nolen was convicted in January of 2011 and sentenced to prison for Possession of Marijuana, Assault and Battery on a Police Officer, Escape from Detention, Possession with intent to Distribute Cocaine. He served his time from March 10, 2011 until March 22, 2013 although the Cocaine sentence by itself was a six year sentence.

Alton AKA Jah'Keem Yisrael

Alton's Facebook page, www.facebook.com/alton.threadgill/, has been removed, but on that page he called himself "Jah'Keem Yisrael" and shared an interesting evolution from Christian-raised man tempted by drugs, to a radical white oppression version of Islam often found in prisons, to a mosque-educated and Internet-radicalized jihadi terrorist.

His Facebook page indicates that he graduated from Idabel High School in 2003 and Langston University in 2007 (Business Management Degree). In his posts from 2010, you can see his early Christian influences showing through in some of his posts, such as:

• Sep 5, 2010: "GETN READY ANOTHA WEEK DAT DA LRD HAS BLESSED ME WIT"
• Sep 9, 2010: "THNK U LD....STARTN DIZ NEW JOB TOMORROW GOT ME FEELING LIKE TONY THE TIGER.... ITZ GREAT!!!!LOL"

The picture of himself in workboots, with work gloves beneath a sign reading "Esta es su Cafeteria", reveals one of the tattoos his prison record makes note of "RIP Lil Kris":

Prison Islam

As soon as he gets out of his short prison stay, he stops thanking the Lord for his blessings and starts talking about Allah.

• Apr 28, 2013 "Jst A Headz Up This World Is Sitting On Thin Ice...Jst Knw Dat Everything Allah(SAW) Has Created He Can Put To An End Within A Trillion Of A Second...The U Go"
• by June 6, 2013, he is quoting the Koran on Facebook:
  Sura 3; Iya 85 If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost. (including ur prayers) As-Salaamu Alaikium
• by October 31, 2013, he is openly proseletyzing on Facebook:
  "Wondering y u so Christians worship Jesus and are told to end your prayers in his name, When your prayer is Our father which are in Heaven, hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come Luke 1 1:2 & 1st matt 6 9-10...Why worship Jesus when he's not the creator or forgiver..All Praise To Allah The One And Only!!!!! In the Bible if u study it like u spost to it clearly says in the book of matthew 7:21 'None of those who call me Lord' enter the kingdom of God, but only those who does the will of God. Therefore Jesus is Not Lord...."
• and by November 11, 2013 shows the first Jihadi-leaning statement:
  "Why everybody is celebrating veterans day. Worrying about they freedom. What freedom? Don't yall knw them are muslims? Religious people. They pray 5 6 times a day. They not getting high and drunk killin over colors, and when they do kill its for God. Dnt yall knw that same place yall like to go bomb is where Moses and Jesus journeyed to....What freedom? Once again What freedom???Wake Up!!!"
• November 2013 also has him talking about "The Black Man and Woman" are the "True Israelites and the Chosen People of God": "Not Racist...But To The Black Man And Woman aka The Tribe Of Judah...2:29 elderly white woman telling the fake jews in Israel get the hell out of it...3:30 white man telling u that u are the true jews...5:08 elderly woman saying dnt bow to the white man. Islam is the true religion. Wake Up!!!!" (Link to this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja93FjyCSfo)

• December 8, 2013 shows more "Nation of Islam" style Muslim beliefs, claiming that Jesus predicted the coming of Mohammed:
  00:13 THIS RABBI WHOS JEWISH BUT NOT AN TRUE JEW IS TELLING U THAT PROPHET MUHAMMAD IS THE LAST PROPHET, BUT IN ISRAEL THEYRE NOT REALLY SURE OF THIS...MY THANG WITH THEM KNOWING THAT JESUS SPOKE ABOUT A PROPHET WHO WAS TO COME AFTER HIM IN THE BOOK OF JOHN 14:15-16, JOHN16:7-8,AND IN JOHN16:12-13.

• December 29, 2013: When Jesus Was Here Rite, He Brung The Gospel Rite, Which Means What? Gospel- Good News. Ok So This Good News Right, Come From Who? God (Allah). Who Is The One And Only Lord Of The Universe. With This Being Said Rite, Why Are You Worshipping Jesus Who In The Quran Was A Messenger.

Say If He Were To Get Killed When He Came Down Here What Is Everyone Gonna Do If Their So Call Lord Is Dead LOl.. God Allah Is Lord And Savior Who Youll Be Standing In Front Of On Judgement Day.

Shariah Law

Beginning in May 2014, Jah'Keem starts preparing to participate in his first full Ramadan, and his pronouncements of judgement grow more pronounced. This includes a fascination for punishing unbelievers under Shariah law (see May 19) and encouraging Muslims to refuse to pay taxes, as we see May 25, 2014.

• May 2, 2014:
  Preparing for June. 28th, 2014 which is the start of Ramadan for Muslims all around the World. Completing this all your previous sins from the previous year will be forgiven Alhamdulillah, SubhanAllah, Alahu Aikbar- Alahu Aikbar for Islam!!!!!!!!!

  ****InfoFromAMuslim****

• May 19, 2014 - Two posts on Shariah law are made this day. According to multiple accounts in the news, the argument that led to his employment termination at work in September began with him describing the appropriate punishment of offending "white women" under Shariah law. Perhaps this is an allusion to the stoning video linked to from this Facebook page. Others describe that as he beheaded his co-worker, he "chanted from the Koran", which is exactly what happens in the first of this videos, which illustrates the manner in which a muslim would decapitate a non-muslim.

  

  The beheading video is labeled on Facebook with reference to a verse from the Koran which calls for those who turn away from Islam to be killed:

  

  

  The beheading video where Jah'Keem almost certainly learns the proper way to behead a co-worker has been viewed more than 240,000 times. After the video was reported using YouTube's guidelines, marking it as "Violence" with a subcategory "Promotes Terrorism", YouTube marked the video as "for mature audiences".

  
  The comment I left on the video is this:

  GarWarner: #YouTubeTerroristTraining This is the video that the radical muslim murderer who decapitated his co-worker in Oklahoma City posted on his Facebook page on May 19, 2014. Thank you, YouTube, for training terrorists. When people report this to you as "Violence" that "Promotes Terrorism" we aren't asking you to evaluate whether it needs to be marked as "mature audience" material. We are asking you to take these terrorist training videos off the Internet. 

• May 24, 2014: less than a week after posting the beheading video and the stoning video, Jah'Keem declares Jihad, quoting Jesus to do so:
  Matthew 10:34 Jesus (pbuh Ameen) quotes "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35"For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW;… JIHAD JIHAD JIHAD!

  ****InfoFromAMuslim****

  (when challenged, he posted this reply, also on May 25, 2014:

  Jah'Keem Yisrael: There is no Law stating that you can be punished or harassed for not paying taxes. This is the 16th amendment its your choice. In Islam its Haram to pay taxes and if your trying to avoid this Major sin in Islam you would have to go to your Human Resource office at your job and file exempt on your 1040 and note it with your Muslim!

Ramadan 2014

As Ramadan arrives, Jah'Keem shares posts of his gatherings with other Muslims, and his posts continue to be confrontational:

• June 15, 2014 - first "weapon" photo - clearly from an online video.

  I JST WANT TO SAY AS AN MUSLIM WE DNT CELEBRATE AMERIKAS HOLIDAYS. A GOOD FATHER IS SOMEONE WHOS RAISING HIS CHILD UP TO BE SUCCESFUL NOT SOMEONE WHOS SMOKING AND DRINKING IN FRONT OF THEY CHILD LEADING THEM TO THE GRAVE OR THE PENITENTARY! SO WHY U MOTHERS WALKING AROUND YOUR HOUSE SMOKING BLUNTS IN FRONT OF YOUR KIDS THINKING INSIDE OF YOUR HEAD WHILE DOING IT "HOW U THANK U GNE BE " IS NOT GOOD PARENTS AND HELL BOUND TO BE IN FOREVER!!!!!!!!!
  ****InfoFromAMuslim****

  

• June 17, 2014 - Jah'Keem explains that Jesus was never crucified:

  IN ISLAM WE TEACH THAT JESUS WAS NEVER PUT ON THE CROSS THAT HE WAS NEVER CRUCIFIED. IN THE BOOK DEAD SEA SCROLLS THAT WAS TOOKEN OUT THE BIBLE U WILL FIND OUT THAT HE WASNT .....If we read the Gospel of Barnabas, we will find that when Judas came with the Roman troops in order to betray Jesus (pbuh), God raised Jesus (pbuh) unto Him and saved him. He then made Judas look and even speak like Jesus (pbuh) so that the Romans dragged him (Judas) away with them kicking and screaming that he was not Jesus (pbuh) but Judas. Even the Apostles were totally bewildered.

  After the Romans had their fill afflicting Judas with all manner of abuse and torture, he was finally taken to trial. By now he had totally given up hope of ever being believed. So now when he was asked, "art thou Jesus?" He replied "Thou sayest". In other words, "you will not believe me if I say otherwise, so why fight it any more". His enemies (the Romans) then took him, mocked him, kicked him, cut him, spat on him, humiliated him, and tortured him. Finally, they put him up on the cross. It appears, however, that shortly after they took him down, he disappeared from his tomb (maybe to live in disease and torment and die later on if he was not already dead).

  The Gospel of Baranabas then goes on to describe how Jesus (pbuh) returned to the apostles to tell them of how God had saved him from the hands of the Jews and the Romans and how the traitor (Judas) was taken instead.

  SHALOM ALHAKEIUM (O YE MUSLIMS) ALLAH (sWT) SAYS IN THE LAST DAYS "PEOPLE WILL BE LOVERS OF THEMSELVES, PROUD AND UNHOLY". SO TO ALL OF U THAT'S MASTURBATING WHICH I THINK IS 80% OF THE WORLD AND FOR WHATEVER THE DESIRE IT IS IN YOUR HEART THAT U DOING IT FOR-U CAN GET! (WARNING) THIS IS THE LAST DAYS....2ND TIMOTHY 3:2 ****InfoFromAMuslim****

So, that is a more complete story of Alton A. Nolen, AKA Jah'Keem Yisrael.

• If the "workplace dispute" that led to his firing really was Jah'Keem explaining that women who commit sexual sin should be placed in a pit and stoned, as the video he displayed on May 19th demonstrates,
• and if his response to learning he was fired was to decapitate a coworker while praising Allah
• and if he has declared that white people are cursed of God
• and if he claims Shariah Law is coming to America and the Statue of Liberty should be destroyed

. . . then how is this not terrorism?
