Mahmoud Joe Albero Genovese, the notorious cyberterrorist and blackmailing bastard of Southwest Delaware, and one known to "cower in the shower", loves to brag (or is it bray? as in, like a jackass) about all the businesses he has owned.

O'Reilly has his "No Spin Zone", and Mahmoud has his No Truth Zone.

Mahmoud is trying to claim credit for the sabbatical that Bud the Blogger is taking.  Umm, no.  Some people in the blogosphere actually have real lives. 

Prompted by a crazy comment over at Salisbury News regarding the number of properties he owns, we let loose the dogs to do some digging today, and we came up with some interesting twists and turns in the old Albero Empire.

Here's what we found...

Over at Mahmoud Albero's cyberterrorism headquarters, he is all excited because the Powellville Volunteer Fire Departmet allowed him to pariticipate in a live fire training exercise.  There is just one problem:  they may have violated NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) Standard 1403: Standard on Live Fire Training Evolutions.

TomCat points this out on his blog "A Class Act".

Is Jihad Joe Albero, Southwest Delaware's Most Notorious CyberTerrorist is proclaiming that he is going all George HW Bush ("kinder, gentler").

I doubt it. He's played this game before.

One is reminded of the fable of the scorpion and the frog:

A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion  says, "Because if I do, I will die too."

The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of  paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp "Why?"

"It's what I do," said the scorpion.

Keep that in mind, folks.

Delaware's notorious cyberterrorist Mahmoud Hesheetz Hisdrourz Mahmoud Jihad Joe Albero continues on his campaign to shut down those who oppose him.  His eye is still fixed strongly on Off The Cuff, trying to blackmail them into shutting down their blog. 

By now, the word is out, but in case you haven't heard, Jihad Joe Albero has been indicted and charged with perjury and tax evasion related to his sale of the old Station 7 in Pittsville.  Just like Elliott Ness couldn't land Capone for murder, extortion, and violations of the Falstead Act, Ablero couldn't be brought down for Trespassing, Exortion, and generally making an asshole of himself.

So the State Comptroller used the tax laws.  Way to go Peter Franchot!

Not content to engage in outright extortion against Pro-Maryland Bloggers, Jihad Joe Albero Genovese continues his pathetic and filthy habit of COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS by lifting -- word for word -- an article in the Baltimore Sun that came off the Associated Press feed.

Compare Albero's UNLAWFUL PILFERING with the original and see for yourself how his complete and utter disregard for the law or the rights of others.  Albero -- self-proclaimed nephew of a Genovese Family "button man" -- doesn't even offer the benefit of attribution or a courtesy link.  You would think such an "accomplished blogger" as the great Jihadist from Delaware would undertand the simple etiquette of the blog world. I guess when you are an asshole in one are of your life, you are an asshole in all areas of your life.

Just a warning to any public officials that let Jihad Joe Albero Genovese trade on their name:  you are associating with a lawbreaking extortionist that uses the laws to persecute others, while he displays little regard for the laws he must follow.

In yet another smashing defeat for Jihad Joe Albero, the Southwest Delware Cyber-Bully and wannabe Press Boy, Off the Cuff will be reactivating later tonight I am told.  Straight Shooter has been shvitzing over this entire affair since Jihad Joe tried to extort her into shutting down several days ago, a story we have been bull-dogging here at Gunpowder Chronicle.

Well, it turns out that Jihad Joe doesn't have the same juice that his uncle -- a former button man in the Genovese Crime Family according to Jihad Joe -- did.  Despite threats of legal and criminal retribution,  Jihad Joe was unable to bring an end to voices of freedom and liberty that rallied on Straight Shooter's behalf.

Let this be a lesson to anyone -- politcians, officials, or community blowhards -- that the LAW is there to PROTECT the people, not to PERSECUTE the people.  And that in THIS country, in THIS state, there are those of us who will rally to the defense of our rights and liberties as free-born men and women.  We will not go quietly into the night.  Your bullying tactics and your attempts at extortion will not stop us.  We will fight and fight and fight. And when it seems that we cannot fight anymore, we will summon the will and the strength to rise up again like a phoneix from the ashes. And we will win. 

Because our freedoms are more precious to us than anything except our honor.  And even in the darkest room, the light of truth shines brighter than the darkness of hate and lies.

So say we all.

G.A. Harrison's analysis of the decision by Judge Purnell that Jihad Joe Albero is not a journalist has a major flaw:  he doesn't know the law.

The issue is NOT whether Jihad Joe Albero was paid.  The Maryland Journalism Shield Law requires a person to be employed as a journalist by a "news" organization of some type.  Being employed has a far different meaning under state (and federal) law, rather than just being "paid".  So whether Jihad Joe was collecting any revenue or not is immaterial.

This was the justification for Judge Purnell's decision, which was right and proper under the law. 

Of course, Jihad Joe could easily rectify this matter for the future, and he probably should.  Create a Limited Liability Corporation, of which he is the only employee, and for which he is paid.  Since he likes to fashion himself the "smartest businessman" on the entire Eastern Shore, this shouldn't be too hard for him to figure out.  He can easily fit the definition of "employed" under the Maryland Journalism Shield Law going this route.

Until then, he is just another a loud mouth know-it-all.  And G.A. Harrison is just carrying his water.
