Matt Armstrong, known also as MountainRunner, has interesting evidence that the Wikileaks video is more than a mere piece of propaganda; it's also a conspiracy. UPDATE: the "rebuttal" video removed from YouTube for "violation of the YouTube Community Guidelines." The cause of action: "graphic or gratuitous violence is not allowed in YouTube videos." The "rejection notice" at right was sent by someone close to the "rebuttal". Neither Collateral Murder nor the unedited video have been removed from YouTube. It appears the "rebuttal" video is a clear victim of manipulation by supporters of Collateral Murder or its cause. The method was social media's "democratic" ability to suppress or silence opposing viewpoints by flagging content as inappropriate, a feature in YouTube that is often used by insurgent and terrorist propagandists. Conversely, content can be promoted and rise to the top of search results with a "thumbs up." Jillian York has documented the same silencing technique on Facebook. He also has some strong words for DOD in terms of their handling of this matter, and cites Uber Pig's piece as well. ("Sup, ninjas?")
