Time to sue Google?

Yep – so says Rusty over at The Jawa Report.  He, like the members of the Free Republic Smackdown Crew, have had enough.  While Google/YouTube are still helping our enemies spread their propaganda to the masses at no charge, those same enemies are killing our military members with boots on the ground. At what point does this become treason?

And then there’s the company who has listed the Taliban’s official site, The Voice of Jihad, as a proxy domain holder. That company is Active Domians and is based in Portland, OR. Maybe they don’t know what they’ve got there. Maybe we should let them know.

Their TOS state:

By registering a name or applying for services you also represent that the statements in its application are true and you also represent that the Domain Name is not being registered for any unlawful purpose.

I think they’d like to know, don’t you, that they are helping the Taliban? The only contact listed on the domain registration information is this: gcw6iky060@whoisproof.com. Let’s give it a shot, shall we?

Rusty’s also got some other homework for you, too.

Like I said before, Rusty’s had enough:

If you or your loved ones have been killed or injured in Iraq, Afghanistan, or in the recent Fort Hood shootings let me know. It’s time to sue Google. They help spread the propaganda that inspires the jihadis, including Nidal Hasan.

Also, if you are in the military and may soon be deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq you also might have standing in such a lawsuit.

I’m serious about this. Email me at the contact link above and just ignore the snarky and condescending emailing instructions left by me.

YouTube: Recruiting tool for the enemy

Celebrimbor over at Quoth The Raven has an excellent post. He says

we are at war against the political ideology of islamisim, and YouTube is used to recruit fighters to bring the glories of sharia to the west. Would we have allowed the fascists to recruit fighters to bring the glories of nazisim to our shores? No we wouldn’t. Further, an American company that facilitated the radicalization of German youth would likely find themselves in deep trouble.

Check out his post on recommendations for what to do about it. And then JUST DO IT!!

Sudden Jihad Syndrome

From Jeff Head – documenting instances of “Sudden Jihad Syndrome” in the U.S.  SJS is defined by Jeff as:

Sudden Jihad Sundrome is individual or small, un-attached groups of radicalized Islamics who decide to carry out Jihad, or Holy War, against those amongst whom they live. It usually involves a single person, but may include small groups, who are radicalized in their Mosques, their readings, their conversations, or otherwise, and who then decide on their own to wage war against those whom they live amongst.

Google: helping make terrorist dreams come true

Talk about your tangled webs!  When you start looking at the online terrorist community you can get lost in a never ending circle.  Here’s the journey I took today – starting where else?  YouTube, the terrorists dream come true.  Let’s  take a trip, shall we?

 

Isn’t that sweet?  An old man strapped with a suicide belt.
This video is apparently so good it has 2 sequels:

 

In part 3 there we see
the suicide terrorist waving goodbye from a car that’s driving away,
and then later in part 3 – BOOM!  He blows himself to hell.

In case you’re wondering what the Arabic says at the top of the video,
here’s a rough translation:

In the decription of this
video, here’s what the poster, smtelznazn, says:

One portion of this
translated to English says:

How special!  To incite the believers!  Isn’t that the same as “inciting
violence,” considering that the whole video is about a suicide
terrorist blowing himself up?

So I decided to check out the link from the description.

Lovely stuff there…

So look at the top choice in this forum:

WOW!  A “dream that became a reality.”

Had to check that one out…

This list is links of videos to download…some are teaching videos, others
include martyrdom operations, IED attacks, ambushes, firefights, rocket
attacks, snipers, kidnapping…you name it!  If it’s a terrorist activity,
they’ve got it.

Being the naturally curious person that I am, I clicked a link….

Same list as from the terrorist website above!

I decided to check out the Afghanistan/Martyrdom Operations link…

The most recent post was from November 3rd.

Hey look — this looks vaguely familiar…

And it’s pretty long and you can download it here…

So someone took this video, or elements from it, and edited it into the 3 videos which I

saw at YouTube.  (YouTube has a 10 minute limit on uploaded videos and apparently

they DO enforce THAT rule.)

So who is this Global Islamic Media Front mentioned at YouTube in the poster’s description of his video?
Well, according to Global Jihad,

 

Global Islamic Media Front – GIMF, is the European propaganda arm in support of Al Qaeda and other radical Islamic organizations. Global Islamic Media Front is formed from Muslims living in Europe, especially in Germany and Austria and, probably, as a response to USA invasion to Iraq in 03/2003.

 

And not only that, but:

On 09/12/2007 the Austrian police arrested members of the group in Vienna (see – German Media-cell). Two more suspects were arrested in Germany, on 11/28/2008.

Eventually Global Islamic Media Front – GIMF was an enterprise of [a] few Muslims living mainly in Germany and Austria, who used the power of the web in a sophisticated manner.

So apparently the rest of the world sees GIMF as a bunch of pretty bad dudes.  Rusty and Howie over at The Jawa Report have been all over these guys for a LONG time saying  ”they constitute the largest pro-al Qaeda propagandist organization in the West.”  Back in 2007, when that post was written, GIMF’s
website was hosted at wordpress.com.  At this point, according to links at the Jihad Archive site, they are now hosted at blogspot.com.   Anyone want to hazard a guess who owns blogspot?

Gerald at the Internet Anthropologist Think Tank explains why this is so important and why we should care that Google/YouTube/Blogspot are providing free services to terrorists:

 

They keep seeding their lies, falshoods and propaganda in the media and no one is responding to their poision they spread thru the Internet.

A LIE POSTED IN ENOUGH PLACES LONG ENOUGH WILL BE BELIEVED IF NOT CONFRONTED.

WHEN, WHEN DOES THE USA START THEIR MEDIA WAR AGAINST THE ISLAMOFACSIST?

That’s a darn good question.  Germany and Austria were smart enough to jail some of the members of this terrorist organization.  We’re not even smart enough to keep them from using the free U.S.-based
internet services of Google (YouTube, Blogspot.)  Google:  Making more “dreams become a reality” for the terrorists.

 

God help us!

Major
Hasan Dined with ‘Jihad Hobbyist’ (Terrorists hook up on the internet)

YouTube:
A terrorist’s dissemination and recruiting tool

YouTube:
A terrorist’s friend

YouTube’s
Complicity in Terrorism

YouTube’s Complicity in Terrorism

So yesterday we learned that Major Hasan was hanging out with an 18-year-old self-radicalized “jihad hobbyist.”  According to the expert Jarret Bachman, these kids start out with lighter fare and progressively seek out increasingly violent and angry rhetoric.  When one seeker was looking on YouTube for martyrdom videos, they were directed to “look around online in the jihadi blogs.”   The internet and the videos available on YouTube and elsewhere are a part of the process for these would-be terrorists.  Thanks YouTube – aren’t you proud?

In looking through videos the other day, I stumbled upon this one…

So what’s in the video anyway?

Nice hooded terrorist dude.  Lovely Al-Qaeda symbol in the upper right.  And oooh!  Look!  Showing how to put missles together?  (Someone with more weaponry expertise than me would probably be able to tell us precisely what’s happening here.)

Below the video, I decided to click on the “Statistics” tab and this is what I saw…

And look where it’s popular — and with whom!

Here’s the video description posted by the uploader (Iused Google to translate it to English):

Oh lovely!  A Hamas jihad video.  One of the commenters on the video really liked it…

So, you may ask, what are these websites that this video is linked from anyway?  Well, this is one of them…majahdinar .com…

And here’s alaqsagate .net….

I looked around there for a little bit and found this post (translated to English):

There were several locations where the video could be uploaded, and then one evangelistic soul posted this in the comments:

Isn’t that special?  So I decided to look at another one of the sites – ansarnet. info.

Here’s the kind of fare available to the people who read this forum:

“united islamic jihad” posts a host of “reports” of operations.  Most are probably made up.

Another of the linked sites is http://  202.71.102.68/~alfaloj/vb/showthread.php?t=91018&page=2:

Looking through the thread – yep – places to download the video:

And hey – another evangelist!

That link leads to this video – note that the name of the poster on the terrorist website is similar to the name of the poster at YouTube, and the Statistics tab reveals links yet another terrorist website:

This is how it works people.  These videos are used to hype up the masses and get them angry and ready for violent murderous acts.  According to the expert in the story mentioned above, the only thing missing is the human touch.  The radical imams will take care of that though.Rusty over at the Jawa Report says:

The point of all this is that jihadis do not exist in a vacuum on their own. They feed off each other, giving each other support, send each other propaganda which reinforces their radicalism, and they egg each other on to transition from what Jarret Brachman calls “jihobbyist” to becoming terrorists.

So when is YouTube going to be held responsible for their part in this process?  Time for them to man up if you ask me.

Major Hasan Dined with ‘Jihad Hobbyist’ (Terrorists hook up on the internet)

YouTube: A terrorist’s dissemination and recruiting tool

YouTube: A terrorist’s friend

YouTube: A terrorist’s desimination and recruiting tool

In the last post I put up, I showed you how the terrorists use the videos that they post at YouTube.  Now I’d like to show you what some of those videos are about.  I was surfing around terrorist websites and found this gem.  The site is Ansar al-Mujahideen, which is a website for the Mujahideen terrorists (as you might suspect from their name.)   Here are some screen caps of the page, with an anonymized link.  This video is produced by As-Sahab, the media wing of Al Qaeda.  Their logo is plainly visible in the lower right corner of the screen.

There are many, many places that these videos can be downloaded.  The idea is that people will download them and then upload them again to places like YouTube and LiveLeak.

The translation/description of the video is peppered with screen shots of the video, and the whole thing is available here on youtube.  As you can see, the full translation in English is right on the video itself.

If you look over in the sidebar to the right of the video, you will notice that this full video is five segments long – which is most likely due to youtube’s time restraint of 10 minutes per video.

Each of the segments discuss martyrdom and some specific martyrs.

If you skip to the 5th in the series this is the second scene:

The words on the screen are “Oh Allah, grant us martyrdom in this life and in death.”  As these are gun-toting jihadi terrorists, there is little doubt as to what this might mean (unless of course you’re the teleprompter in chief.)  In another scene the words are “Oh Allah, amplify your benevolence and your greatness on us by blessing us with martyrdom.”

The video goes on to show the site of some hirabist’s “martyrdom” (or in other words “jumping off point to hell.”)

At 1:59, we are treated to an imam calling for doctors to answer the call of jihad and go to the front lines to help heal the wounded Muj.  At 2:32 he says “oh healers of the Ummah, Advance! and remain in the state of readiness to fulfill the obligations!”

Back over at Ansarnet there’s this post, at the end of the thread with the download links and descriptions:

 

I guess someone answered the call.

There is no doubt that this series of five videos has no other reason to exist other than to encourage the faithful terrorists and to draw more to their cause.  Is this not inciting violence, which is against YouTube’s terms of service?  Why then do these videos stay on you tube’s servers?

YouTube: A terrorist’s friend

Ignorance is not bliss.   We have learned that  members of the mosque attended by Nidal Hasan are
telling the media that they “have no pity” on the people murdered and wounded by Hasan, and we are
finding out that Hasan was listed as a participant in a Homeland Security Policy Institute’s presidential transition task force last year.  Now we are finding out that Hasan worshipped under the same radical Yemini imam as 3 of the 9-11 terrorists.  We cannot afford to ignore what is going on in the Muslim world.

There are those who do not understand what I have meant when I have told you that YouTube is supporting, aiding and abetting our enemy.   There are those who think I am overstating that.
Please let  me show you what I mean, and why we need to hold YouTube’s feet to the
fire for as long as it takes to get them to take responsibility for what they are doing.

According to an article at wired.com the terrorists use YouTube to host their videos so that they don’t have to pay for the bandwidth.   In other words, using YouTube’s free services, based in the
United States, enables the terrorists to continue broadcasting their propaganda at no cost.  How convenient!

I know you’ve seen videos at YouTube and the hirabist sympathizers who post their “Allah Akhbar!” comments there.  But what I want you to see is how these videos are then used in terrorist forums.  I
am only going to use one example, but there are many, many more.

The site we’re going to look at is alboraq.com.  It is a forum for Mujahideen, and Jihad & Reform front, and others.   Here are 3 screen caps of the home page:

If you wish to view the site yourself, click here — this is an anonymized (so they can’t see your ip address) translated (from Arabic to English) link.

On a specific
thread
at al boroq. com (again, this link is anonymized and translated) you
can see that there was a poster who shared multiple videos at YouTube.

Most of those videos have now been removed due to Terms of Use violations, but one is still live at YouTube.

The title of this video is Appeal to the Ansar al-Islam to unite with the Islamic State of Iraq. Ansar
Al-Islam was designated a terrorist organization in 2004, and the Islamic State of Iraq is an umbrella organization of a number of Iraqi insurgent groups established on October 15, 2006.  While the video
itself just appears to be an imam talking to muslims, when you understand what he’s appealing to them to do, it becomes quite chilling.  Oh – and the little symbol in the lower left of the video?  That’s As-Sahab, the media production house of al Qaeda.

For grins, I ran a google search for “youtube.com” at the alboraq.info site, and look what it yielded — LOTS of youtube videos.  (If you click the links to look for yourself, you might want to click the
cached version or use a proxy so that you are not exposing your ip
address to them.  I would also caution NOT to download items
from terrorist sites as they may have viruses.)

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.

Yet in blantant violation of their own TOS, and in defiance of  Executive Orders, they continue to provide free video hosting services to known terrorist organizations and their followers.   This while our soldiers and sailors and airmen and marines have boots on the ground.  YouTube is committing treason, and choosing to ignore this will only result in greater encouragement for more terrorist attacks against our citizens.

Internet plagerism or sloppy journalism? You decide.

So yesterday, I found this great story at Brian Cuban’s blog, The Cuban Revolution titled Facebook At Odds With Obama On Holocaust Denial in which he gives a lot of good, solid information about Holocaust denier groups on Facebook.  And as a facebook user myself, I can tell you that they exist.  When I looked into the matter further, I found that the blog posted by Brian — presumably 2 days ago as that’s when the first comments appeared — plagerized quite a bit of information straight from JIDF (Jewish Internet Defense Force).  Quoting — which bloggers do often — is usually ok, as long as you link to the original source — that’s why you see links in blog posts.  But in this particular case, credit was not given to the original post posted at JIDF on October 18, 2008.

Sloppy journalism?  Maybe.  So I posted to Bob Cuban’s blog yesterday at a little before 5 pm ET:

“The JIDF has been all over this for quite a while.http://www.thejidf.org/2008/10/important-regarding-content-on-facebook.html

Welcome to the party.”

Of course, there was the wait for moderation.  And I am still waiting.  The post has not yet been approved.  If it was an honest mistake, I’d expect to be approved.  I just hate to see someone else taking credit for the hard work being done by the JIDF.  I’ll keep ya posted.

Smackdown

Enemedia’s aid and comfort is invaluable to our enemies and how I’m fighting back

No surprise from this chick ~ the Enemedia’s constant reporting on every terrorist incident is free PR ~ and as a result bolsters their morale and resolve. So says the New Media Journal in a piece called “The Incompetency of Jihad: Information Operation Failures.“

The impact of Information Operations has been detailed in a previous NGIA, Inc. In-Depth Analysis report entitled “Al-Qaeda’s Reality.” The attention the media gives to terrorist incidents unfortunately emboldens the terrorists. For the most part, AQ has a very effective message laden with propaganda that gets unprecedented airplay. To get this type of exposure, a company would have to spend millions. A careful examination of the media coverage reveals a redundant analysis of terrorist incidents and what they mean without questioning the terrorist’s message.

Ah! The Enemedia lives up to it’s name, does it not?

The infowar is not lost however ~ YouTube hirabists have been feeling the pressure. Thanks to YouTube Smackdown and others, they are finding that YouTube is no longer the safe, comfortable recruiting environment it once was. You’d think that since YouTube is a US company on US servers it would be a no-brainer. *eyeroll* If you’d like to help with this effort, check out these sites:
