“A group of us have decided to take the jihadis on in the last frontier: Operation YouTube Smackdown.

We are attempting to interdict enemy propaganda videos uploaded on YouTube including videos from Al Sahab (the cloud), the media branch of Al Qaeda, Al Ansar al Sunnah (Army of the Sunnah) which is an AQ affiliate in Iraq and many others.

We are doing this by noting the most egregious offenders and flagging their videos as “hate speech” and “graphic violence” the only two selections under YouTube guidelines we can take while leaving a comment on the video for YouTube that hosting these videos is a violation of US law prohibiting material support for terrorists or designated FTOs (foreign terrorist organizations). We also quote YouTubes policies regarding violent content. It takes appx 24 -48 hours to have them taken down.

This is our current video on the hit list: Iraqi mujihadeen attack against US Invasion

We have a list of the worst offenders on the sidebar and put up a daily video to be flagged. We have already had 37 confirmed “kills” and 70 accounts taken down. That is in two weeks of operations. There are many hundreds, possibly thousands out there. We want to bring the full force of our social network to bare on YouTube and these videos. These videos contribute directly to the recruiting and funding ability of these terrorist organizations and are responsible for the deaths of our men and women serving on the front lines as well as innocent Iraqis and Afghanis. They may also contribute to the radicalization of Muslims within our nation and those of our allies greatly increasing the possibility of attacks on our people by “franchise” terrorist organizations.

If we are able to destroy even some of their capability we will make a difference. This is acknowledging that these videos can be posted many times under different users but we will still make a difference. Even one life saved and one jihadi not recruited is worth the effort.

The Jawa Report is helping to close down Jihad websites. We want to close this front as well. Please join us taking the fight to the enemy in a space they’ve been allowed to dominate without much interference.
