UPDATE: You Tube and Cyber Terrorism



http://llphfreedom.blogspot.com/2010/05/youtube-nest-of-islamic-terror.html

Note:  On May 8th, I posted an article many Conservatives sites  were commenting on, about terrorists using You Tube as their own little play ground.  Remember, recently, Jihad Jane had an account with You Tube?  And the Taliban are using this same method of spreading their propaganda, along with Hamas and Hizbollah.  

As I have stated in the past, there are also many groups attempting to report to You Tube, these outlets used by terrorists, and sometimes the groups get "lucky" and have the accounts of individual Islamic terrorists removed for reasons stated on You Tubes "guides".

Along with the posting of videos, the private message system is also used, and nothing prevents a terrorist from sending messages to others, unless we are aware of an individual and can "block" them.

Today, I received a message from a friend who showed me one he had received from either someone playing (if you can call this playing!), or he is someone to be watched.  The account of the one who sent the threatening message has since been removed by You Tube; however, there is another account by the same individual sending threatening messages still up, on You Tube.  

I suggest that all parents monitor their children when they are on the computer.  You Tube is meant to be a fun place to play music and upload tremendous news and educational videos; however, there are those who wish to do harm; be careful and keep the children safe.

The threatening message, reads:

"BROTHERS AND SISTER
want to join Jihad
Dont know where to turn
PM Me
we have cells in europe and the USA and we need your help
we have major attacks planned in the next 36 months"
Does that private message read to you as a "joke"?  Someone playing? Maybe, as there are lots of idiots who have bast taste when it comes to jokes. However, how many thought folks like Jihad Jane were joking?  

I will not present a problem without offering a solution.  Here it is - Call it Solution #1:  Rather than make the average citizen responsible for monitoring Face Book and You Tube, how about a few Federal government-paid employees setting up a few computers and monitoring what is being put on these web sites.  

Why, I'll bet that would be more productive then monitoring Conservative web sites that are a little displeased with Obama's policies and agenda for America.  Eighteen terrorist propaganda videos removed with the help of concerned citizens in one afternoon last week.  It was a concerned citizen who first noticed the abandoned car in Times Square one week ago.  And yet, the Obama team list Tea Party grandmothers as "racists", and imply that the enemy are those who are demanding our government answer for their Un-American, Un-Constitutional decisions.  Yes, this world is certainly upside down and the kings  (leaders) are walking, while the servants (wanna-be kings/presidents)  are riding.

Now, remind us all again what the duties of Homeland Security are - just so we Americans can feel safer than we did on September 11, 2001.  The war on Islam is being fought on many fronts and Cyber is just one of many ways terrorists play Jihad.
