A suspected member of the Al Qaeda terrorist group, arrested in May last year in Germany, was found with a memory stick hidden in his underwear. Police discovered the stick contained a password-protected folder with pornographic videos inside it, but suspicious computer forensic experts thought there must be more. After weeks of analysis, they determined that one of the pornographic videos contained concealed documents detailing Al Qaeda operations and plans.

The files were hidden in the video file through a process called steganography or concealed writing. The term steganography includes methods used for centuries, such as invisible ink, but now also includes techniques such as concealing (often unencrypted) content inside a digital image, video or audio file. Steganography conceals data within “plain sight,” which makes it difficult to detect.

Al Qaeda suspect's porn film found to contain treasure trove of secret documents


I caught this story today, and found it to be pretty strange. How can the reader be sure that this person simply didn't have porn which he wished to hide because of his religious background? How can the reader be sure that this encoded information wasn't later planted? Some of the user comments on the site are impressive. They're asking tough questions which is a must these days.

Welcome mrindigo :)

And yeah its a fair point, the article expects readers to take it at face value with no real investigation on the medias part other than to parrot what they are told.

It's good to see people awakening to this.

Thank you, Andy. :)

That's a lot of what the media does these days. I've talked to a few younger people who were initially interested in taking up journalism not too long ago. They weren't too happy when they found out that a lot of the 'news' doesn't really have a whole lot of investigative work anymore. For the most part, it seems as if they're told what to report, and what not to. Some of the journalists that have caught on, went on to creating blogs and websites that aren't dictated by controlling groups like News Corp. A propaganda machine doesn't function too well with uncontrolled opinions, so some of those blogs and sites were attacked under the guise of copyright infringement.

Remember news of the bin Laden raid last year? It was stated that porn was found there though I don't recall the media (video, jump drive, Hustler forum).

And lest we forget reports of the 9-11 perpetrators seen at a nudie club shortly before embarking on their 'mission'.

Like you, I've no idea how valid these reports are, but if you really want to discredit someone - or further discredit them, report they were caught with porn of some nature.

That's a very good point, Coco. Smut is one of the classic defamation of character tactics. Maybe the guy was what the story claims, but there's a real lack of information there that I can't overlook.

Innocent until proven guilty died like, a long ass time ago, didn't it? :umm:

I find it laughable (and ridiculous!)that we're still expected to take the news media bandwagon seriously by "authority figures" and such. They know the cat's out of the bag and yet they still try to say shit like "This is Fox News Channel, fair & balanced!!" with a straight fucking face!!

Lookout psketti, next thing ya know anyone with pr0n on their computer will be dubbed a terr0rist!!! :nilly:

Very well put Andy, and precisely why I pay little, if any attention to msm these days. If you take a story to pieces, you can always see the not so subtle influencing going on.

It's tough to say what this is about... hidden messages, documents in a porn file? Isn't that the first place anyone would look? Anyway, the MSM is worthy of following if for nothing else than to see what shit they are spreading, to see how ridiculous they can get.

I also am amzed by the comments following news stories these days. People are just picking them apart. It's encouraging.

I agree, Ron. Like you said, if anything it's good to see what sort of fanciful tale they can spin. If anything it's entertaining.

It's very encouraging to see people asking questions like that. I hope the momentum picks up, and they start asking the tougher questions. The 'elite' can only bullshit and keep the rest of the population in the dark for so long. It starts to become obvious.

I think it's a lot further along than many would like it to be! In that cynicism and distrust of the establishment have grown to the point of it almost being a default that people (a lot, not all but a lot) question things right off the bat instead of going with the used-to-be-ever-popular "I saw it on the news so it must be true...." line of thinking, or should I say non-thinking? The tide is most definitely turning, in Our favor!! :thumbup:

Admittedly I tend to be pessimistic and cynical about progression at times, but you're right. This is just one indication of said progression. Things are changing rapidly. The more 'they' try to BS and regulate, the more people can't ignore it.
