U.S. Spies Want to Find Terrorists in World of Warcraft

By Ryan Singel February 22, 2008 | 2:15:43 PMCategories: Spooks Gone Wild  

Be careful who you frag. Having eliminated all terrorism in the real world, the U.S. intelligence community is working to develop software that will detect violent extremists infiltrating World of Warcraft and other massive multiplayer games, according to a data-mining report from the Director of National Intelligence.

The Reynard project will begin by profiling online gaming behavior, then potentially move on to its ultimate goal of “automatically detecting suspicious behavior and actions in the virtual world.”

• The cultural and behavioral norms of virtual worlds and gaming are generally unstudied. Therefore, Reynard will seek to identify the emerging social, behavioral and cultural norms in virtual worlds and gaming environments. The project would then apply the lessons learned to determine the feasibility of automatically detecting suspicious behavior and actions in the virtual world.
• If it shows early promise, this small seedling effort may increase its scope to a full project.

Reynard will conduct unclassified research in a public virtual world environment. The research will use publicly available data and will begin with observational studies to establish baseline normative behaviors.

The publicly available report — which was mandated by Congress following earlier concerns over data-mining programs — also mentions several other data-mining initiatives. These include:

• Video Analysis and Content Extraction – software to automatically identify faces, events and objects in video
• Tangram – A system that wants to create surveillance and threat warning system that evaluates known threats and finds unknown threats to issue warnings ahead of an attack
• Knowledge Discovery and Dissemination – This tool is reminiscent of the supposedly-defunct Total Information Awareness program. It seeks to access disparate databases to find patterns of known bad behavior. The program plans to work with domestic law enforcement and Homeland Security.

The report gives no indication why the find-a-terrorist cell in Sims project is called Reynard, though that is a traditional trickster figure in literature.

i have been sick as a fucking dog all damn week.

I had my facebook message set to something like “Dont waste your vote on obama, if you arent researching candidates DO NOT VOTE”

the point was that a vote for anyone else, including Barack Obama is a vote for division, war, and the North American Union. Obama wont get out of the war…Obama will not improve race relations in this country, and the lower class will continue to grow while the middle class shrinks…the changes Barack are pushing are MINUTE and are nothing more than voting points to entice amerikans whom rarely read up on a candidate or his voting record before they vote for him.

No one would love to see a black man become president more than me, because i have spent so much of my time trying to change the way ignorant rednecks around this goddamned town see people that are different….

all the candidates save Ron Paul are a far cry from Ron, simply because he believes in our constitution, and wants to get the fuck out of this war right now…you can be fooled by the “change” hype…or you can vote for the Revolution.

Same shit, or a revolution…you truly do choose

im guessing you not only arent listening, but didnt bother to watch the simple video….2 minutes was all it took….was that how much time you put into researching Obama when you decided to vote for him? or less? You dont want to hear it, then you wont…i reccomend you RESEARCH a candidate…the odds are that you didnt.If you took a look at the Ron Paul message, you might just be inspired…

IM not trying to deter you from a beautiful message, im trying to let you hear a message i doubt you got the chance to hear, MY candidate didnt get the TV air time yours did…most people dont know what MINE stands for….but most dont know what Obama or Clinton stand for either…thats because the vast majority of americans are talking bobble heads that repeat every bit of dribble they hear from the news stations…

dont forget though…you messaged me…you have the problem with the way i campaign…i just think an ignorant vote is a wasted vote…whether or not yours was ignorant i cant possibly know.

Btw. to my credit…every time i heard some ignorant redneck asshole say something about Obama swearing in on the Qu’ran or being a muslim, i defended the man…i know better than that, and either way it wouldnt bother me…So i did do some campaigning to Obama’s aide because i dont like when people vote based on lies….i just want the best person for this country…that simple. Obama doesnt understand fiscal policy, he doesnt understand war, and he wont get us OUT of the war…we HAVE TO GET OUT OF THIS GODDAMMED WAR! Too many soldiers have died, too many innocent Iraqi’s have died…and Obama voted to reinstate the FUCKING Patriot Act…( an act of terrorism). I reccoment you take a look at what the Patriot Act entails.
