YouTube Gives Server Space To Terrorist Assassination Video
YouTube ^

Posted on 11/03/2009 8:45:34 AM PST by StarCMC

This video, linked here, contains multiple images of terrorists committing extremely violent acts.  The title of this piece of trash is "Mujahids In Iraq Smashing The American Soldiers."  The poster of this video, strive4shuhadaah has described this video as follows:

ALLAAHU AKBAR.. May ALLAAH give the brothers the strength and ability to keep there fight up against the evil treacherous occupation forces..(Also few scenes of the Brothers killing the betraying Iraaq army/police)
AAMEEN

That leaves little doubt as to the intent of the video.  The specifics of this video are:


The video starts with multiple terrorist symbols including the Al-Qaeda flag an As-Sahab.  
At 1:00 there is an explosion.
1:05 - explosion, repeated at 1:07
1:11 - VBIED explodes next to coalition vehicle
1:14 - explosion
1:16 - blindfolded man on his knees is grabbed by the hair and an knife is pulled, shows the start of a beheading
1:23 - exploding vehicle
1:25 - point blank assassination of three blindfolded people - shown from 2 angles in case we don't see properly from the first
1:38 - IED
1:42 - IED
1:56 - explosions
2:03 - IED shown multiple times
2:14 - IED
2:17 - IED
2:21 - IED
2:25 - Dead body of coalition soldier
2:26 - point blank assassinations of approximately 8 people
2:44 - IED
3:12 - IED
3:14 - IED
3:24 - Bloody dead body
3:28 - Bloody dead body under a car
3:30 - IED
3:33 - IED
3:37 - point blank assassination
3:41 - IED
3:47 - IED

I cannot believe this video lasted at YouTube for 5 minutes, let alone over 1 month.  And yes, this video, like the others I have posted, has been flagged multiple times and yet YouTube sees fit to give the terrorists free exposure by allowing them server space.  YouTube is a U.S. company with servers hosted in the U.S. and they are giving aid and comfort to our enemy, pure and simple.

I know there are those who will take me to task for denying someone their free speech rights by flagging this piece of video propaganda, but  please remember that I have as much right to practice MY free speech as does anyone else.  And guess what?  The bill of rights guarantees free speech to citizens of the United States, not to our enemies at war.  

YouTubes terms of service state, in part:

While it might not seem fair to say you can’t show something because of what viewers theoretically might do in response, we draw the line at content that’s intended to incite violence or encourage dangerous, illegal activities that have an inherent risk of serious physical harm or death. This means not posting videos on things like instructional bomb making, ninja assassin training, sniper attacks, videos that train terrorists, or tips on illegal street racing. Any depictions like these should be educational or documentary and shouldn’t be designed to help or encourage others to imitate them.


So what's their excuse for leaving this video up?  Whose side are you on, YouTube?

Meanwhile a Michael Savage video account was banned last week, a guy who posted under the name c-span junkie was banned off the site, he posted news videos including c-span videos, and last year they banned media one a anti obama guy off youtube. Plus others who have good accounts get banned daily.

It’s childish, but everywhere they post this stuff, I curse their god and their prophet so it shows up on the same page.

They must be watching FR — we’ve flagged that several times and no movement and then when I post it here — POOF! It’s gone. That happened on Sunday too.

And who owns You Tube?

Google buys YouTube for $1.65 billion(06)

The head of Google was one of Obama’s biggest fundraisers.

Your description of that video seems more appropriate for YouPorn!

YouTube: the terrorist's best friend.

The First Amendment's Free Speech Clause - Is a patriot's best friend.
Assuming one has a PC or Notebook to read FR, other Inexpensive Basic Tools to exercise YOUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS :
CASIO EXILIM EX-Z33 Black 10.1 MP 2.7" 230K LCD 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera - $99.99 at NewEgg.com
This very inexpensive hardware will allow you to shoot pictures in video mode.

Video Software: Windows Movie Maker and/or PhotoStory 3 for Windows - are both FREE downloads. Additional software such as VirtualDub 1.9.3 for video editing is also free.

Additional Audio Software - You can download AUDACITY for free and generate a music score from Photostory or download Royalty Free Music files found on Google for free.

There are also free tutorials on how to use the free software mentioned above.

Combined together using your own imagination and actually reading the tutorials mentioned, you can rival anything put out by anyone on YouTube.com You become a citizen journalist.

In fact, you can make the videos mentioned in the subject line look like the turd world crap you would expect.

That's how you counter that with which you disagree.

Obviously, there is hundreds of other free and propritary software packages available (this isn't a pissing contest). My intent is to point out that using very simple tools which are readily available to anyone for free ( with the exception of the camera, which is at a very low cost (yes, much better cameras are available)), any person can aptly demonstrate, the power of the pen is still mightier than that of the sword.

Yes — I think they are watching FR. It had been flagged multiple times and no movement from YT, and then when I posted about it here - BAM! It’s gone.

I agree, and there are people who make videos against the hirabists as well. (Check out this channel for a GREAT one.) But the point of flagging videos is to point out that YouTube is committing treason and they should be held accountable for it.

At the moment, legally speaking, Google and other Web hosts aren’t required to censor what their users post. That’s because of a piece of federal law known as Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Under that law, Web hosts are free to restrict access to content that it deems “objectionable”—if they choose—but in general they can’t be sued for choosing not to do so.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9947500-7.html

on the plus side—

there’s actually evidence that U.S. spy agencies like being able to monitor what their adversaries are doing online. In addition, scholars routinely evaluate al-Qaida videos as part of their research

Almost, but not quite. YouTube's hosting of these videos is in violation of Executive Order 13224 which can be read at the U.S.Department of State website. This is a quick explanation of the EO:

In general terms, the Order provides a means by which to disrupt the financial support network for terrorists and terrorist organizations by authorizing the U.S. government to designate and block the assets of foreign individuals and entities that commit, or pose a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism. In addition, because of the pervasiveness and expansiveness of the financial foundations of foreign terrorists, the Order authorizes the U.S. government to block the assets of individuals and entities that provide support, services, or assistance to, or otherwise associate with, terrorists and terrorist organizations designated under the Order, as well as their subsidiaries, front organizations, agents, and associates.

No real way to get around that. And yes, we know about the scholars and those seeking intel from videos posted on YouTube. We've actually helped point them in the right direction a couple of times. :-)

I think I may have mentioned this to you before, Sen Lieberman may be interested in You Tube’s slacking off. He lit a fire under them in 2008 over terror vids.

Thanks for the work you do. I flag them per your posts.

You’re right — we’ve been trying to make sure he sees what’s happening, but he also has to be pretty pre-occupied with the other stuff happening in DC right now too.
