"Warriors for Innocence": Possible "Joel's Army" group?

There are quite a number of bits of info of concern in regards to the group "Warriors for Innocence", including connections to dominionist groups and (more recently) notes that visits to the site are being logged and tracked back as well as the site doing "drive by spyware" downloads on PCs.

The following post from the [info]innocence_jihad community (which is being reposted in full with permission of the author) gives hints that the party in question may in fact be among the scariest segment of dominionists--in with neo-Confederate, racist, "Christian Patriot" militia groups:
From the post:

Here is the personal blog of the woman who sent in all those complaints to LJ (the Warriors for Innocence woman).


CHECK OUT ALL THE CONFEDERATE FLAGS SHE'S DISPLAYING!!!!! SHE'S ALSO ANTI UNITED NATIONS!!!!!


Nice Confederate battle flags, lady...one of which is a banner for a group known as the REDNECK MAFIA??? She's a total right wing NUT JOB!!!

Her blog: http://suesviews2.blogspot.com/

I can't believe Six Apart got railroaded by an ultra-conservative xenophobe! What a bunch of dumb fucks!

Here's where she got her 'Redneck Mafia' banner: http://redneckmafia.blogspot.com/

One banner she has on her blog reads: "America, Saving Europe's Ass Since 1917" and another banner on her blog proudly bears the words: "United States of America Deportation Squad". It's reassuring to know that Six Apart and Live Journal listen and take heed to the rantings of an individual who carries such negative feelings toward non-Americans and immigrants...huh.

Good job, Six Apart! *shakes head*

Here's her Blogger profile: http://www2.blogger.com/profile/03449943067796255822

And here's her email: warriorsforinnocence@gmail.com

Here's where I located this information: http://digg.com/tech_news/Livejournal_suspends_hundreds_of_accounts

Pass this info around, please. I'll be damned if I give my money to a company who bends to the will of a person like this woman...


I hit the Blogspot guide in question and, needless to say, there was much to give me real cause for concern.

Firstly, the name of the group itself is somewhat triggering to me--partly because the name itself sounds suspiciously "Joel's Army"-esque (and of the *really* bad kind, too; the "Missionaries to the Preborn", "Christian Patriot", "Army of God"-style God-warriors-with-guns type of stuff).

First off, she links to a write-in campaign for Cary Cartter for the 2008 presidential race; a bit of digging around shows Cartter is explicitly dominionist and may in fact be linked with the "Christian Patriot" militia movement. At the very least, he is definitely part of the "Joel's Army" movement; his blog includes links to a plethora of fellow "Joel's Army" bloggers (including one named "Third Wave Dave"; "Third Wave" is a codeword for Joel's Army theology in the Assemblies and other neopente churches) and a number of dominionist correspondence-school bloggers (as well as at least one explicitly Christian Reconstructionist journal called "Sovereign Joy").

The "Redneck Mafia" seems to be a collection of neo-Confederates and neo-Confederate sympathisers; the Blogspot site not only hosts essentially a webring of neo-Confederate sympathisers, but also a Texas-secessionist webring and an anti-UN webring; the Texas secessionist webring in turn also hosts a neoconservative webring and a secondary neo-Confederate sympathiser webring ("Children of the Confederacy"). Pretty much all of the members are almost identical between these Blogspot webrings.

In fact, almost *all* the blogs cross-link to each other (acting as essentially a web-ring of "Joel's Army" folks connected to the owner of TexasFred, which is registered via DomainsByProxy (a service used to anonymise whois registration, and commonly abused by spammers). The main "Texas Fred" site includes a Java game entitled "Shoot The Wetback" and is a major promoter of the Minutemen militia group (which itself has extensive ties to "Christian Patriot" dominionist militia groups, racists, and in particular the Constitution Party (itself a de jure Christian Reconstructionist party and a de facto "Militia Party" to boot)). Other fun blogs in the same general "network" include "Beast Media" (which is a particularly obnoxious neocon site that actually makes "Mallard Fillmore" look humorous in comparison, a guy calling himself "Minuteman1776" (whose website links in turn to other parts of the "TexasFred" network including a site called "Radioactive Liberty"--which literally calls for war for oil--as well as a group calling itself "Marine Mom Militia". Almost all of these sites seem to be out to out-Ann Coulter Ann Coulter.

There is apparently another Blogspot site, Absolute Zero United, which literally claims that people who are protesting their actions are in fact paedophiles (despite there not being the action of child rape involved, and despite many of the online communities being removed being things like molestation survivor support groups, fanfiction sites, LGBT communities not involving child molestation at all, etc.):
Live Journal one of the original blogging sites has been simply infested with pedophiles and pedo-activists. We wrote about it a couple of times HERE and HERE

Some people wonder what AZ and the other ANTI blogs do besides writing about pedofreaks on our blogs. One thing we do is monitor these blogger sites like Live Journal. We watch these perverts invading spaces that kids hang out. We watch them spouting off pedo-crap, puffing each other up with pedo-pride and above all LYING. We work to rid the internet of these dangerous places. Sometimes they go down fast and easy, other times it takes a bit of creativity. But, like I always say "there's more than one way to skin a cat"

Take a look at some recent fallen Live Journals, several communities as well. Live Journal finally snapped to attention and decided to be responsible. Yeah, pedo blogs are dropping like flies over on Live Journal.

Inform
Expose
Silence


And to all you nodding pedoheads responding on WFI with statements like:

Its a free world! If a person do not want to view those contents they do not have to go into the site. Just because you guys do not like it does not mean the whole world doesn't. please respect other people's interest and choices

and

I suppose it's a lot easier to crusade around having fanfiction groups deleted off LJ than it is to contribute time and effort to groups that are trying to change laws and actually...you know. Protect children.

and

Freedom of speech should always trump over zealous fanaticism like this site's.

and

You do realize that by deleting their LJs and letting them know they're watched, the REAL criminals are only going to be more careful next time.

and

Words on a page don't hurt people. People hurt people. And you, my friends, are hurting people by taking away their freedom to write the fiction they please

and

As much as I have deep problems with pedophilia, I have even deeper problems with people who trample freedom of speech as easily as you do. Do you ever give the consequences of your actions any thought?

Every single one of you are indeed pedophiles. Nasty, filthy, stinking pedophiles. You all preface your statements with "I'm not a pedophile myself BUT"

The truth of the matter is that the only person who would value free speech more than the safety of a child is a person who WA LA endangers children. You're all clueless and every single one of these statements prove it.

So, like I said to ZLurker once upon a time..........keep watching.

Are you watching?

The same site also confirms something that a lot of folks have suspected--they are, in fact, simply searching Google for specific keywords (no matter the actual content) and sending complaints directly to Six Apart based on what they are finding on Google without any attempt to verify the actual content of sites. (As an aside, this could put Dark Christianity in danger--we actually have a "child abuse" tagline in our community, and have posts (searchable on Google) in regards to religiously motivated child abuse as well as sexual scandals (including paedophile pastors in dominionist denominations and the almost complete lack of policing in these denominations) that do come up on Google searches.)

Almost all of the activity indicates we're not even dealing with garden-variety dominionists; most FotF members, for instance, don't post stuff supporting militia groups in public (maybe on FreeRepublic, but not on Blogspot et al). Not only this, but they're trying to get a preferred dominionist (and frankly Christian Reconstructionist) candidate in office, and in their blogs have literally declared a dominionist jihad on the rest of us.

In other words, with the "Warriors for Innocence" scandal, we may actually be dealing with part of a fairly extensive network of neo-Confederate, militia-sympathiser (if not flat out militia-member) "Christian Patriot" God-warriors-with-guns "Joel's Army" nutcases on our hand...one that potentially makes Focus on the Family or even the American Family Association look like the friggin' Society of Friends in comparison.
