Harbor City Small Business Knowingly Hosts Anti-Muslim Website

HARBOR CITY- In a sign of our times, a new cyber vigilante organization has taken to the Web, setting its sights on shutting down Islamic Internet forums, calling for the death of Muslims, and even suggesting that Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, "nigger cunt from georgia," be killed.  The Website KOBEHQ is hosted by Harbor City, California computer store Computers N.L.A.  Dave Young (see bottom of linked page), believed to be owner of Computers N.L.A. has been notified of the activities of the KOBE Organization, but has not taken action to stop the Website's hate activities.  Confirmation that Mr. Young has received notification has been documented.  In an interesting sequence of events, emails sent to Dave Young have been responded to by KOBE SBM, the anonymous name used by the owner of the KOBEHQ website.

One of the targets of the KOBE Organization's reign of hate and harassment, the website Break Your Chains, has documented the activities of KOBE.  Break Your Chains hosts the John Poindexter Awareness Office.  The vigilante organization, KOBEHQ, has sustained a campaign of harassment against the website's owner, in a manner that provokes memories of the COINTELPRO operations of the 60s and 70s.

KOBE Headquarters Fights anti-American Dissident/Terrorist groups on the Internet
 
KOBE Headquarters opened on November 4, 2002 at http://www.kobehq.com and has become one of the hottest new sites on the Internet. Shortly after it's inauguration, KOBE Headquarters was attacked by dissidents and organized subversive groups which have been using the Internet to spread anti-American propaganda. Before KOBE came along, they were free to roam the internet, opening message boards and websites which openly seek to destroy the Government of the United States and other countries through subversive means. Pictures of the President of the United States with the Nazi flag as it's background, inverted flags and government seals, calls to spy on and harass government officials. International figures in other democratic nations have not been immune to these activities.
 
KOBE feels that these groups have gone unchecked and that their anti-American efforts should not be regarded with apathy. We will actively fight them in support of our government. Your lack of concern for freedom as it exists in the free nations may one day result in losing it. AOL and a growing number of software companies which provide content blocking for children and institutions of learning have begun to block access to resources operated by these subversive groups operating freely on the Internet. Failure to monitor activities from such groups could provide a fertile ground for terrorist propaganda, and covert communications designed to undermine democracy. Active members of these groups claim that their right to free speech is denied by these actions, however, in crucial times, such measures may be justifiable (albeit arbitrary).
 
WARNING: Some sections of the KOBE Headquarters website contain nudity and commentary which certain individuals may find offensive. You must be 18 or over to visit the site. DISCLAIMER KOBE is not an organization, but all like thinkers are "members" of KOBE.

Kobe also likes to attack Middle School message boards. In the rural midwest a group of kobeites has posted lewd messages and pornographic pictures on a Middle School message board. They have engaged in lewd conversation with minors. They are not patriots or Americans.....they are terrorists and no better than Al-Queda or Hussein.

It's Double Standard Days at Indymedia!

by daveman Saturday, May. 03, 2003 at 2:24 PM

You demand that the KOBE website be shut down.

Yet there was a great wailing and gnashing of teeth when that web hosting company dropped al Jazeera. The Indymedia collective cried "Oppression!" and moaned about al Jazeera's freedom of speech.

Make up your minds.

Double standards are alive and well and living in Indymedia.

From the above article:

"Dave Young (see bottom of linked page), believed to be owner of Computers N.L.A. has been notified of the activities of the KOBE Organization, but has not taken action to stop the Website's hate activities."

"They are not patriots or Americans.....they are terrorists and no better than Al-Queda or Hussein."

From the thread JUDGE REJECTS PLEA FOR RAISETHEFIST.COM WEBMASTERhttp://la.indymedia.org/news/2002/10/19488_comment.php#55459

"it makes me completely out raged when a young black man is promoting positive change within the world and is now in jail."

"Raise The Fist is the best anarchic site.

Free Sherman to continue his most important work."

"I vow to keep the Reclaim guide available online with a proper disclaimer: I do condone, advocate and incite the use of violence against law enforcement authorities and political figures including the president of USA."



Now: do you see the double standard? You claim KOBE is guilty of cyberterrorism, yet you rush to the defense of a man who posts bomb instructions on his website.

Explain why that is not a double standard in action.

I know nothing about raisethefist.com's activities, legal or otherwise. I do, however, know about KOBE's illegal activities. You seem to believe that cyberterrorism is fine, as long as the people engaging in it agree with your political beliefs. It's still odd that you went from al-Jazeera to raisethefist.com. Odd, indeed.

Report this post as:

It's not odd at all.

by daveman Saturday, May. 03, 2003 at 4:26 PM

And I'll explain why.

The author of the above article wants KOBE shut down for cyberterrorism.

Indymedia decries the arrest of raisethefists's webmaster, who has been charged with cyberterrorism.

Indymedia decried al Jazeera being dropped by their American web host.

The link tying all these together? The pro-Islamic bias of Indymedia. If an action is performed by Muslims, it is lauded. If the same action is performed by non-Muslims, it is condemned.

Al Jazeera lost their American host. This was "bad" because the pro-Arab view was perceived to have been lost to America, and there were cries of "oppression!" with governmental involvement suggested.

KOBE claims to be opposed to violent Islamization in specific and Islam in general, yet does not advocate violence except in self-defense. Indymedia apparently wants KOBE shut down, ostensibly because of "cyberterrorism", but let's be honest: it's because KOBE is anti-Islam.

Raisethefist.com's webmaster pled guilty to the felony charge of "18 U.S.C. 842 (p)(2)(A): DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION RELATING TO EXPLOSIVES, DESTRUCTIVE DEVICES, AND WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION WITH THE INTENT THAT SUCH INFORMATION BE USED IN FURTHERANCE OF A FEDERAL CRIME OF VIOLENCE."

Face it: Indymedia loves terrorists, be they anarchists or Islamists.

I condemn cyberterrorism from any source. Indymedia does not, and the call for the shutdown of KOBE while raisethefist's webmaster is defended is proof.

Like I said, double standards.

I wasn't aware that Indymedia had an official policy regarding cyberterrorism. Whether you choose to believe it or not, the members of KOBE are cyberterrorists. I guess that's okay with you since they're on your side of the political spectrum.

..."I condemn cyberterrorism from any source." is giving you trouble?

I never claimed KOBE were not cyberterrorists. I repeated claims made on the KOBE site, and made it clear that they were KOBE's claims, not mine.

Indymedia may not have an official policy regarding terrorism, but its individual posters sure seem to.

Now please explain why the condemnation of KOBE and the defense of raisethefist is not a double standard.

You sent pornographic pictures and messages to children. Your organization makes me sick. I believe everyone has the right to free speech, but when you start behaving like a pedophile, you need to be stopped and arrested. I would love to see you in a cell with a man named Bubba who bends you into pretzel positions every night after "Matlock". I am also glad to see that your website is no longer around for the general public to stumble on.

That is why you should be shut down and charged. People logged everything your group did. Parents were outraged. Your biggest screw-up was when one of your idiots, I'm sure they couldn't help themself, wrote KOBE RULZ all over the website I am talking about........using the same IP they had used to proposition a little kid for sex.

Simply statements of FACT. Review any of the threads where these so-called "kobe" and Stephen Devoy are involved, and the commentary is overwhelmingly in support of the "kobe". Besides that, they have a sense of humor which you anarchist types seem to lack.
