Terrorist Propaganda and LiveLeak

The image above was posted to LiveLeak yesterday evening, with the caption:
"Traitors get justice... comming soon to a theater near you"

There is no accompanying video, and one can only assume there will be (or has been) a mass execution of the people in the photograph, to be released in video format on LiveLeak at a later date.

While the goal of LiveLeak may seem noble on it's surface, one must ask at what point a line has been crossed. The volume of insurgent snuff-films and terror propaganda videos found at western owned and operated websites is staggering, and on the rise.

These videos propagate the terrorist's message of hate, are useful for recruiting and perhaps even contribute to their financing through revenue sharing programs at such sites as Google Video, YouTube, Meta Cafe, Revver, Panjea and Eefoof.

One can only hope that the NSA and other government agencies are keeping close tabs on these sites, and tracking the people who are regularly posting these videos of executions, torture and attacks on coalition forces... but I wouldn't want to bet on it.

2 I'll tell you--the time for honouring themselves is soon to end: the troops are getting the job done, and sooner or later true justice will come to those who murder and maim for no apparent reason but to appease their sick, disgusting, religious fanaticism.

And violate the civil rights of terrorist scum? Hope we are.

4 I seriously doubt that LiveLeak is supporting terrorists because they post their snuff videos. I think it is more like these terrorists are inhuman fucking animals and are the only people sick and twisted enough to film the murder of innocent people. LiveLeak simply posts their videos. Nothing more to it. All that said, LiveLeak sucks anyway. But I don't think there is some conspiracy here.

5 Jack's Smirking Revenge - I said nothing about a conspiracy, or LiveLeak deliberately supporting terrorism.

LiveLeak is not one of the revenue sharing companies listed in my post, however they do, in effect, support terrorism by hosting snuff-videos and terrorist propaganda recruiting films.
These videos spread the terrorist's message of hate and intolerance, and many authorities have acknowledged that they have been instrumental in recruiting and fund raising.

We, as a nation,  may not have condoned the 9/11 attacks, but we certainly helped to enable them by providing an infrastructure that could so easily be abused.
If we continue to allow them to abuse our liberties, even after that wake-up call (and their subsequent attacks and failed attempts), we will have only ourselves to blame.

I don't look at sites like liveleak as outlets for terrorist and sympathizer drivel, rather I see it as a window for Americans to see just how backwards these scum are.  Seeing the videos of executions/beheadings and attacks on our soldiers firsthand really transformed my politics on the war helped to open my eyes about how evil the islamists are and how absurd the logic of their sympathizers is.  You won't get that kind of raw exposure from any mainstream outlet.  Yes, terrorists can use these sites to get exposure but likewise it can also be a tool to awaken people in the West to the evil we are facing, it goes both ways.

7 They are dead. A video was released on Terroristmedia showing the 18 men being shot in the head.

8 Very cute Rusty. Banning me from Terroristmedia and Infovlad. I love the Juba page that pops up instead.

Pictures like this would make the front pages of the NYTs
