Terrorism and the Media (Including the Internet): an Extensive Bibliography
Perspectives on Terrorism Volume 7, Issue 1, Supplement Terrorism and the Media (including the Internet): an Extensive Bibliography Compiled and selected by Judith Tinnes Introduction This bibliography is intended to serve as an extensive up-to-date resource for studying and researching the multi-faceted relationships between terrorism and the media, including the Internet. It contains over 2.200 records covering academic or professional journal articles (most of them peer-reviewed), book chapters, reports, conference contributions, books, theses and other text publications, mainly in English and German. To keep the bibliography manageable, smaller, more informal publications, e.g., blog posts, research briefs, commentaries, newspaper articles, or newsletters, were not considered – with a few exceptions of contributions containing ideas or subjects that were underrepresented in long-form academic or professional literature. The vast majority of resources included date from the 21st century, as after 9/11 – the biggest single media event in history – the amount of publications on the relationship between terrorism and the media has increased considerably. However, terrorist use of the media is as old as terrorism itself and has been researched since the beginning of terrorism studies. Therefore, this bibliography is not restricted to a particular time period and covers publications up to early February 2013. Thematically, the bibliography covers many aspects of the relationship between terrorism and the media, including these: • terrorist use of the traditional media (TV, radio, newspapers); • terrorist use of the new media, especially the Internet (E-Jihad, Cyberterrorism); • online radicalization; • 9/11 as a media event; • media-oriented counter-terrorism measures; • the psychological impact of media exposure to terrorist attacks; • the portrayal of Islam and Muslims after 9/11; • the depiction of terrorism in literature, movies and the arts; • media-oriented hostage-takings. -
Buenos Aires, 26 February 2015. in This Court Case No. 777/2015, Styled
Buenos Aires, 26 February 2015. In this Court Case No. 777/2015, styled: “Fernández de Kirchner Cristina y otros s/encubrimiento” [on cover-up] registered with Clerk’s Office No. 5 of this Court; Background These proceedings were initiated as a result of the accusation made on 14 January 2015, within the framework of Case No. 3446/2012, entitled “Velazco, Carlos Alfredo y otros por abuso de autoridad y violación de los deberes de funcionario público” [on abuse of authority and breach of the duties of public officials] —Court No. 4 in Federal Criminal and Correctional Matters for the City of Buenos Aires, Clerk’s Office No. 8— by Alberto Nisman, General Prosecutor in charge of the Prosecutorial Investigation Unit dealing with the bombings of 18 July 1994 against the AMIA building. In his accusation, said Prosecutor informed about the existence of an alleged “criminal plan” purportedly intended to give impunity to the Iranian nationals accused in that case —who are fugitives since 2007— in order for them to be able to escape the investigation and be released from any measures taken by the Argentine courts with jurisdiction over the case. As stated in such accusation, the scheme was allegedly carried out by “high authorities of the Argentine federal government, with the cooperation of third parties, which entails a criminal action that constitutes, a priori, the following offences: aggravated cover-up, prevention or hindrance of the performance of official duties, and breach of the duties incumbent upon public officials (Sections 277 (1) and (3), 241 (2) and 248 of the Criminal Code).” Preliminary Considerations First, it bears noting that this Court is fully aware of the widespread and major — domestic and international— public and institutional repercussion of the accusation made by Alberto Nisman, in his capacity as General Prosecutor in charge of the Prosecutorial Investigation Unit dealing with the bombings of 18 July 1994 against the AMIA bombings, which has been the starting point of these proceedings. -

Perhaps one should study the history of Mankind connected to Prophecy of the Torah-Bible (Rev. 20:12) ending much Life in nature caused by an atheistic hi-tech culture of our civilization. Like the Gospel mentioned five (5) foolish virgins to hear a voice behind a locked door: Truly, I say to you, I do not know you (Matt. 25:1-13), depart from me. (Matt. 25:41) Therefore you might be interested to pass on this information to a friend or pastor since our 21st Century Civilization was predicted to perish. Thus, a few Pearls were amended to reveal the hidden Truth of the Torah- Bible now exposed in Babushka Egg Concept Book #15 with forbidden knowledge forgotten in many Christian churches, synagogues & universities. -

Madam Prosecutor: Elisa María A. CARRIÓ, on My Own Behalf
Madam Prosecutor: Elisa María A. CARRIÓ, on my own behalf, National Deputy domiciled at my public office located at Riobamba 25, office 708 (Attached to the 2nd Chamber of Deputies of the Nation), in this Federal Capital, in case No. 3559/2015, I come before the representative of the Public Prosecutor’s Office and respectfully state as follows: I. PURPOSE: I enclose the following information on the occasion of submitting my witness statement on today’s date, which I believe will be of use in clarifying the events being investigated in the present case. II. IRAN’S INTELLIGENCE WAR AND THE THREE ATTACKS PERPETRATED AGAINST ARGENTINA. Iran has launched an intelligence war in the struggle it is waging against its regional enemies who do not belong to the Shiite crescent (Israel and Saudi Arabia), which it is perpetrating utilizing two major groups: the traditional Iranian grouping on the one hand and that composed of terrorist organizations such as the Lebanese Hezbollah group on the other; this intelligence is gathered via mosques and is characterized by the perpetration of terrorist attacks as a means of attacking its enemies (The regime of the ayatollah). The attacks carried out by the second group, to which Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Mohsen Rabbani, among others, have belonged are perpetrated wherever in the world that favorable conditions exist to carry them out through lack of vigilance, the availability of local connections, etc. [Islamic] Jihad, which means resistance or guerrilla warfare, was founded with Iranian assistance in Beirut. This intelligence war prompted the first ever attack on Argentine soil, against the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires. -

She had a younger sister, Herta, born in 1935. Their parents, like Herta, were deaF. Their father was a jeweler. This is the story oF two young children who were raised in a loving, religiously observant home and who experienced the traumatic and sudden destruction oF their childhood, the loss oF their parents, and their own deportation to the notorious Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, from which they were liberated by the British in 1945. As they struggled to stay alive, Renee and Herta were inseparable. No matter how depressed and distraught she became, Renee never forgot that her younger sister, unable to hear, totally depended on her. Together they survived a long nightmare that included betrayal, physical violence, liFe-threatening disease, and hunger. During the time when Renee and Herta were born, the Jews oF Bratislava lived in relative peace and security. BeFore World War I, most Jews in Bratislava had spoken Magyar or German (German was the language in Renee’s home). Between the wars they also had to learn Slovak as Bratislava, formerly under Hungarian administration, became part oF the new Czechoslovak state, which was founded in 1918. Under the leadership oF President Thomas Masaryk, Czechoslovakia was a democracy, and somewhat more prosperous than countries like Poland and Hungary. -

The Use and Abuse of Holocaust Memory
http://www.aei.org/publications/pubID.23492/pub_detail.asp Print Mail The Use and Abuse of Holocaust Memory Bradley Lecture By Walter Reich Posted: Monday, November 28, 2005 SPEECHES AEI Online Publication Date: November 14, 2005 I’m very grateful to Chris DeMuth and to the AEI for inviting me to give this Bradley Lecture. It’s a privilege to speak about a subject that means a lot to me before an audience that means a lot to me. This is a case in which the seriousness of the topic is matched and deepened by the seriousness of those who’ve come here to engage it. For this opportunity I thank you, Chris, I thank the AEI and I thank the Bradley Foundation. The Irony of Holocaust Memory: Even as It Grows Stronger, It Grows More Vulnerable to Distortion and Misuse This talk is about Holocaust memory, and I want to be clear, at the outset, about what I mean by that term. By “Holocaust memory” I mean the public’s consciousness of the Holocaust in the years since the event--that is, what the public has known, or at least what it has thought it has known, about the Holocaust. And that consciousness, in turn, has depended on a number of factors that have changed radically over time. Those factors have included the readiness of Holocaust survivors to talk about the Holocaust; the readiness of Jewish communities around the world to talk about it or to have it be talked about; the readiness of governments, the media and the general public to focus on it; and, once the Holocaust did become the focus of general interest some thirty years after the event, the ways in which it has been presented to the public, both accurately and, too often, inaccurately, and what the public has absorbed from those presentations. -
