Hope you are doing great!

I don’t know why I found it a little surprising that organizations like ISIL and Al Qaeda would document their operational processes. After all, it doesn’t really matter whether you’re killing people by running a McDonald’s franchise or by leveling half of Syria; you still have to pay your bills and your “team members”.

Unless they succeed in their suicide bombing the first time out. Then, of course, you have a serious turnover problem and need to up your recruitment efforts.

In any case, you have to keep records. We learned a few years ago how carefully Al Qaeda operatives have to track expenses. And now it turns out that there are records of ISIL recruitment efforts, including the usual personal details (age, date of birth, blood type) as well as job-specific data (experience with jihad, sectarian rigor, preference in post-mortem virgins, whatever).

They’re actually a little scary in their banality. But that is the nature of evil, isn’t it?

However, this realization that even these scumbags have to follow procedures that are scrutinized by those über terrorists, the bean counters, gave me an idea for their possible destruction: infiltrate their organizations with contract recruiters; those locusts that infest the tech industry. The ones I’ve been writing about for more than five years, who suck the blood out of candidates and hiring managers without ever delivering any recognizable value.

It won’t cost anything because you just outsource from where they are now, various call centres in India, and you use VoIP phone lines to save further. Let would-be jihadis start getting the rabid Islamist equivalent of these emails:

It won’t take any time at all for the recruitment pipeline for all those terrorist groups to dry up. Without a huge investment in blood and treasure in the form of our military.

You’re welcome.
