The site moved to a new provider named Dreamhost which is a US-based company. It is unlawful for a US company to knowingly provide services to a designated terrorist organization. We don't know who or where the site owner is to go after him but we do know who his service provider is.
So, when I realized it was a US company, I was hopeful that we could get the site removed. Often when US companies become aware they are hosting a terror website, they are more than cooperative and take it down soon after they are notified by email or phone. So we ran a post asking that you email Dreamhost's abuse department. Many of you did, but the response by Dreamhost was very weak. While Dreamhost acknowledged our emails nothing has been done and al-Qaeda's website remains active.
This confused me at first, surely the owner of Dreamhost, Josh Jones, is not one of those lefty America hating terrorist supporting bastards? Then I went to Mr. Jones' blog, (see below) and yes, he is an America hating terrorist supporting leftist bastard.
Exhibit A
Exhibit B (posted the day after we informed dreamhost of the site, coincidence?)
My first email resulted in this response.
We empathize with your concerns regarding this site, but are unable to comment on any pending Abuse investigations. If you believe that a customer is engaging in unlawful activity, we encourage you to contact the Federal Bureau of Investigations regarding this matter. You can do this via the web using the Internet Crime Complaint Center, here:Another response from Dreamhost regarding a complaint from a Jawa reader directed at Deamhost's owner Josh Jones was intercepted by his secretary.http://www.ic3.gov/
As per our usual policy, we will cooperate in full with law enforcement to ensure that our services are not being used for illegal activity. I'm sorry I could not be of more assistance.
Josh, doesn't touch abuse, but thank you for writing and your kind words about the newsletter.
The email continues with the same canned response above. Still no action.
So apparently Josh is hoping to claim plausible deniability, he will say he doesn't know that his company is hosting terrorist websites as he goes around spending dirty terrorist money.
But wait! He cannot claim he is unaware of this problem because he has a blog and I notified him via his blog. And you know a little vain liberal pipsqueak like Josh reads his own blog!
So Dreamhost and its owner Mr. Josh Jones have been notified they are breaking the law by hosting this site. We have tried to be civil and polite but now they have no excuse for leaving the site up and you can report them to OFAC and the FBI here.
http://www.ic3.gov/
Josh, You'd better hang on to Awesome DreamHost Lawyer Guy, cause you might have a really bad need for him very soon.
Update: Josh deleted my comments notifying him from his blog, but I have a copy below the fold. (heh, my comments are restored, neat function) Our previous post on this issue.
From Mr. Jones blog before he deleted me:

Your initial response was quick but empty, no results.

And I'm sending an email from my law firm email address. This sort of behavior by dreamhost is disgusting, and I will certainly blow a few billable hours pursuing this. As my firm is run my a bunch of ex-marine and jag guys, they won't mind.

Providing material support or resources to designated FTO's.
(a) Prohibited Activities.—
(1) Unlawful conduct.— Whoever knowingly provides material support
or resources to a foreign terrorist organization, or attempts or
conspires to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not
more than 15 years, or both, and, if the death of any person results,
shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for life. To violate this
paragraph, a person must have knowledge that the organization is a
designated terrorist organization (as defined in subsection (g)(6)),
that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorist activity (as
defined in section 212(a)(3)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality
Act), or that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorism (as

I also commented on his blog, and here's what I put in:
"Umm, I think I can clear up that big mish-mash of text above.
It has been discovered that Dreamhost (a hosting company physically located within the territorial borders of the United States of America) is currently hosting a website that is owned and operated by a group known to the Department of Defense and the United States government as a Terrorist group. This particular website being the "Voice of Jihad" website, is known to be affiliated with Al Qaeda.
To be clear, it is in violation of Federal law to offer aid and comfort to known terrorist organizations or those persons or organizations affiliated with terrorists. It has been established that willingly hosting a website run by known terrorist organizations DOES constitute "aid and comfort" and is prosecutable. (Not my opinion, the opinion of lawyers and judges much smarter than I.)
Both the Dreamhost abuse department and Josh (via his corporate e-mail) have been informed of the terrorist website hosted by Dreamhost, and have been given ample time to remove said offending website. It has not been removed.
What you are seeing above is a list of groups affiliated with Al Quaeda and the "Voice of Jihad" website. All of the above are known terrorist organizations and assisting them in any way can get you into serious trouble with the U.S. govt, particularly if you are a U.S. Citizen, as Josh is.
Now, I don't particularly approve of spamming the comments in a blog with long lists of names and AKA's. I prefer the more reasoned approach I have taken here. Nevertheless I can understand the frustration that might lead to that kind of approach.
Josh, I implore you, for your own sake and for the sake of Dreamhost and it's employees, please take down the "Voice of Jihad" website. Once the Feds get involved it will get ugly and I can guarantee that you will be on the losing side of a legal battle. You seem like a nice guy and I'd hate for you to go to prison over something like this.
I'm also thinking that "Hosting a jihad website and getting in trouble with the Feds" is probably NOT one of the top ways to become a famous Blogger. Just sayin'."
Hopefully that will get a better response.
