The anonymity debate is still generating fallout. Zonitics has signed off for the near future. We’ll miss you, Edward.

The Timekeeper talks about his pseudonymity.

UFO Breakfast Recipients talks about how pseudonymity and blogging re-create the Anglo-American print culture of the 18th century. It’s also similar to the print culture of the 19th century, but you already knew that, right?

Here’s one of the translated pages;

The crusaders transform their failure into the jihad sites hiding by stupid ways
By the In god’s name the most merciful
The studies center and the islamic researches

Said the god was above ( they ruin their houses by their hands and the believers hands they learnt what the those who have minds and opinions ) blessings this verse fell the americans in the jewish Whahm today the jewish brothers they ruin their houses by their hands as did their brothers .
The American security sectors seek diligent to the right sound silencing sound the seeker about the appearance to the world morals any informative pulpit .
Then after she imposed towns on the visible media by he transmits the fighters leaders meetings? she imposed the towns on the readable media and the audible? then tried failure she imposes the towns on the internet?? she failed she made sure she seeks back mirage? and whenever she closed site to the fighters get out to her the fighters by more site? and so successively and this media war end until the god to the moslems writes the help on the age idol america the god destroyed her .
And after the pervasive failure that ???? by him the American security apparatuses and her allies? they thought by new way to the disturbance attempt on the warrior on way their master that told our prophet peace be upon him about him where he said ( the devil Ays the prayers worship him in the arabs island but in Althrish between them ) then why the American frustrated from closures the demanding site and remainder jihad sites and knew they as second exams to the mirage? they invented new way lent them in her their master Ablis .
And their new way came to the disturbance on the fighters information and transmit? then did establishment many sites to the demanding site? and tried spreading these sites between the Muslim? and these sites ????? about fronts to the demanding site in in her distortion to the previous information that her spreading completed? and when these sites between the Muslim and ??? ???? in her spread new for months the Muslim lose the hope by the fighters their sympathy with them decreases? apart from other security causes .
And some addresses observation that see the crusader enemy behind and this completed some her addresses :

www.al-qaeda.com
www.anthraxdisease.com
www.nukeafghanistan.com
www.alneda.net
www.alneda.com
www.alneda.org
www.bio-warfare.com
www.alneda.net

www.al-neda.net
www.al-neda.com
www.al-neda.org

And these sites that imply copies from front our site found on single company ( ?? on single Sirfr ) . ??? and he : WWW .THEWETLANDSINC.COM

And the crusaders strained they collect all the names that to her relationship by the site ( or near from the site name ) to ironing Laitsna to his reservation and all these sites was by her hairs she concerns us .. And the destination from him the disturbance on us and from her he by the arab from from her what he by the English .

And they put some these pages in irreligious sites insult by her on the god and the koran and the messenger peace be upon him … By drawings ( caricatural ) and except .. And permissive sites .. And laugh at her also from the fighters leaders by dirty drawings .

With the knowledge that alneda.com name canceled complete from the network …. Wlaisttia he returns him to her except the crusaders the god fought them .
And their way this although her outside against the fighters except the crusader in fact the matter they ruin their houses by their hands and the believers hands? and that by spreading jihad sites that the people settle for by the jihad from mere her spread no her content .
And to this then we caution generality the moslems not to they are deceived by allegations the crusaders Wirgafhm and they heed to this war .
And and we do not forget we we thank our brothers who conferred on the Arab forums project copies site center studies and the islamic researches? and got ready to efforts exertion in spreading the site and the enemies occupation by plenty his copies on the network? and say to them the media war with the unfair crusader enemy needs to collective efforts and many ideas? and and we are ready to the help by these ideas?? in finally then the help to by god willing .

Update: One of the sites mentioned, WWW.THEWETLANDSINC.COM., doesn’t resolve, but there are several bb’s or chat sites with that address. They seem to mostly be places to post pictures. Steganography, perhaps? You can see them here, here, and here (warning, not safe for work).

There are also two chat areas, here and here.

Is there a free stenographic detection tool? Or a cheap one, at least? I’d think that having one available to the general public might allow quicker detection of such pictures, if they actually do exist.

Where’s the beef?

Once again the mainstream media (WIRED, who should know better) sells me the sizzle without delivering a steak. Your smile is only as good as your tooth tattoo. You’ll notice that there are no actual pictures of this new stop on American culture’s race to the bottom. Fear not, for I have gone looking for you. Take a gander at these. There’s more here, here, and here. Then there are the fabulous tooth jewels, for those who feel that they need to go the extra distance to impress Mr. Springer.
