Well, I’ve been waiting patiently for 4 1/2 years now. Just like you, I’ve been reading the reports of “messageboard chatter”, “recruitment sites”, “propaganda videos”, “steganography networks”, etc. For 4 1/2 years, I’ve been scanning the datasphere; going through blogs, homepages, messageboards, ‘alternative’ news, mainstream American News, and foreign news reports of all kind.
I have yet to see one link to one ‘al Qaeda’ website.
What I have found, however is that ‘al Qaeda’ was (and apparently still is) simply a database of Islamic mercenaries, properly organized to fight in the CIA’s jihads of Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Kosovo.
(See: Plucked from the Database: ‘Al-Qaeda’ boogeymen all share a common past, hidden in plain sight )
Researcher Michel Chossudovsky notes a few points:
The U.S. Congress has documented in detail, the links of Al Qaeda to agencies of the U.S. government during the civil war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, as well as in Kosovo. More recently in Macedonia, barely a few months before September 11, U.S. military advisers were mingling with Mujahideen mercenaries financed by Al Qaeda. Both groups were fighting under the auspices of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), within the same terrorist paramilitary formation
There is good evidence to suggest this activity continues to this day in Chechnya & Dagestan through Zbigniew Brzezinski’s American Committee for Peace in Chechnya Putting the reality of ‘al Qaeda’s existence and operational allies aside for a moment and getting back on topic, what evidence is there to suggest that ‘al Qaeda’ has a web presence at all?
Aside from the FBI shutting down Muslim websites days before 9/11, I have found absolutely nothing (zero) to substantiate the conspiracy theory that ‘al-Qaeda’ has an online presence.
If anyone cares to prove me wrong, I’ll be sitting right here, sifting through the datasphere…
