State Dept releases ISIS propaganda collection video

  • They're using humor and "counter-terrorism" as an excuse to give everyone a "refresher" in case they missed any ISIS propaganda over the past few months.

    Washington (CNN) -- The brutal mock ISIS recruitment video starts with a simple phrase: Run. Do not walk to ISIS land.
    Then a body is thrown off a cliff.
    Later a mosque is blown up, followed by a photo of a body with a severed head.
     ISIS brutality caught on video Do ISIS' videos mirror 'Homeland'? Does ISIS' brutality inspire recruits? 'The world's most ruthless terrorists'
    Complete with crucifixions, Muslims being whipped, shot in the head at point-blank range and thrown into ditches, the grisly video is the latest State Department effort to push back against ISIS recruiting efforts by highlighting the group's barbaric nature.
    The video, which uses the group's own propaganda footage posted online, illustrates ISIS actions by advertising so-called "useful skills" ISIS sympathizers can learn if they join the group: blowing up mosques with Muslims inside, crucifying and executing Muslims and plundering public resources.
    Entitled "Welcome to the 'Islamic State' land," the video was posted on a dedicated YouTube channel. It was produced by the State Department's Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications, which seeks to combat ISIS extremist narrative on social media.
    Who is the ISIS?
    The campaign is directed at Muslims in the United States believed to be vulnerable to recruitment by extremist groups, amid revelations that more than 100 U.S. citizens have traveled overseas to join the jihadist group.
    The State Department regards social media as a powerful recruitment tool for terrorist groups and in recent years has launched social media efforts to engage jihadists and their sympathizers online, contesting their claims with the intention of dissuading potential converts to Islamic extremism.
     Zakaria: U.S. playing into ISIS' game Regional reactions to ISIS brutality ISIS defector speaks exclusively to CNN
    Alberto Fernandez, coordinator of the State Department's Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications, which runs the program, has called it "participating in the marketplace of ideas."
    In response to this threat, the U.S. government has been "messaging" in social media in Arabic, Urdu and Somali for three years, attempting to penetrate the virtual echo chambers of jihadist thought with contrary points of view.
    Showing off its crimes: How ISIS flaunts its brutality as propaganda
    Groups like ISIS are posting gruesome video of decapitated heads as trophies of battlefield victories, or images of victims from their own side, captioned with vows to avenge them. Links to grainy phone-camera footage abound, docuмenting everything from group executions to a video appeal summoning Muslim women to come to Syria to find a husband among the Islamist rebels. The content is disseminated swiftly around the world on the Internet through a diverse network of jihadists and their supporters, journalists, analysts and onlookers.
    While al Qaeda and its affiliates and sympathizers were once the focus of the U.S. campaigns to counter violent extremism, ISIS has increasingly become a target of U.S. efforts.
    Key White House adviser: U.S. will fight ISIS with a coalition
    In addition to YouTube, the center now runs a series of anti-ISIS accounts on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr as part of a larger social media campaign to counter violent extremism launched late last year called "Think Again, Turn Away."
    "Our mission is to expose the facts about terrorists and their propaganda. Don't be misled by those who break up families and destroy their true heritage," the State Department said on the campaign's Facebook page.
    The latest anti-ISIS video ends with a sarcastic enticement to would-be jihadists.
    "Travel is inexpensive, because you won't need a return ticket!" Then a body is thrown off a cliff.

  • Every time you see or hear something evil/twisted done by ISIS, just remember who created and continues to support them: The United States (bad guys in control) and her allies.

    That should open the eyes of all to just how "great" a government we have.

    Long story short: ISIS does things that the US military isn't allowed to do for various reasons: morality, legality, bad publicity, that pesky Geneva Convention, International Law, common decency, etc.

    The US created Al-Qaeda, too, but Al-Qaeda is used-up and just doesn't make people jump anymore. So they've moved on to a new brand.

    Nail on the head, Matthew.

    It's astonishing how people don't see through these hackneyed Hollywood-style plot twists cooked up by our government in furtherance of the NWO. People our age (late 30's) who grew up exposed to pop culture should be familiar with this moronic trope - the introduction of the Big Bad, followed by the introduction of the Bigger Bad; the newer, "even worse" bad guy. "Star Wars" gave us the evil Darth Vader, then introduced the even worse Emperor. "He-Man" gave us the evil Skeletor, then introduced the even worse Hordak. And "GI Joe" gave us Cobra Commander, then introduced the even worse Serpentor.

    The "GI Joe" example I find particularly apropos, as that cartoon was such a bold-faced bit of propaganda for the American military. The Joes were locked in perpetual mortal combat with the evil COBRA "a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world," a description which appeared in the opening credits of every episode, and which sounds today like it could have come from the White House press Secretary's description of Al Qaeda or - especially - the extremely cartoonish supervillains ISIS. Either that cartoon was extrememly popular with Arab children in the 1980's, or we were being programmed to join the righteous battle against "ruthless terrorist organizations determined to rule the world."

    A brief video of E. Michael Jones touching on ISIS as yet another CIA proxy project (though, like one of the posters on YT points out, I don't think this is so much a case of "blow back" as it is the CIA-created monster doing precisely what it was designed to do):

  • Wow what an interview.

    The Irony of it is that the two journalists beheaded were initially in Syria to send back propaganda telling how Assad was murderting all these poor ISIS people.

    Pity Obama wasn't one of them .

  • There are two parts of this issue of American citizens who are part of ISIS.
    1) A good way to lose your American citizenship is to join and fight in a foreign army, particularly one that is hostile to or at war with the United States. When the war is over and these ISIS participants want to return home, how will they be able to?
    2) Participation in war crimes, torture, etc. There are survivors and witnesses to these events. You can be tried criminaly by the United States and/or by the United Nations. Even if you escape criminal prosecution you can be sued into mega-bankruptcy by victims of torture years later.
