I talk about my experiences gained during my years of virtual infiltration within the encrypted channels of terror group IS

Writer Azazel van den Berg has been virtually infiltrated within the encrypted channels of the terror group Islamic State for years. During that period, he described his finding in form of columns on his blogs Azazel's Vision and Azazel anti jihad blogger. Thanks to these columns, 8 jihadists were arrested worldwide during that period, helping to prevent a number of IS attacks. Domestic and foreign media also linked him to those arrests. The most famous arrest he is linked to is that of Sudesh Amman, the London jihadist who struck in London's Streatham on Feb. 2, 2020. Both BBC Sky News and several English newspapers link Azazel van den Berg to his earlier arrest in 2018 when this still adolescent jihadist ran with attack plans to strike in London's Hyde park. Sudesh was counted among Britain's 5 most dangerous jihadists who were granted early release. In the Netherlands, Azazel van den Berg is being burned in the exposure and rollout of the Dutch British British virtual IS cell GreenB1rds in which Dutch Yousra L was sentenced to 6 years and TBS and her London female companion Michelle Ramsden who is serving a 15-year to life sentence in England. Michelle was nabbed after she purchased explosives at a pseudo-buyout because she wanted to blow up St Paul's Cathedral in a suicide attack that if successful would then make her the first female martyr of IS in Britain.

Azazel van den Berg sometimes speaks with some humor about his time infiltrating within the encrypted digital channels of IS, what all he went through and what sustained him to last so long.
