Hackers trace ISIS Twitter accounts back to internet addresses linked to British government [View all]

ISIS is clearly getting support from Western intelligence organizations. The defense contractors need an enemy and they invented one in ISIS. Al Qaeda, same deal. The Soviet Union dissolved meaning there was no longer a boogie man to justify the bloated defense industry budget. The whole world is being played by greedy sociopaths on Wall Street and inside the Beltway.

Hackers have claimed that a number of Islamic State supporters' social media accounts are being run from internet addresses linked to the Department of Work and Pensions.

A group of four young computer experts who call themselves VandaSec have unearthed evidence indicating that at least three ISIS-supporting accounts can be traced back to the DWP's London offices.

"Don't you think that's strange?" one of the hackers asked Mirror Online. "We traced these accounts back to London, the home of the British intelligence services."
