Understanding the Child Ecstasy Video Investigation
YouTube.com has become a new site of investigation for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), especially for cases like the recent video played on YouTube.com of a 2-year old child allegedly taking ecstasy that involve potential child abuse.YouTube.com, a collection of user-uploaded videos, has been the site of several FBI investigations. FBI agents have been charged with looking into exploitive videos to determine whether criminal activity has actually been committed. In some cases dealing with piracy, the YouTube.com video itself is the crime.
CHILD ON ECSTASY: REAL or RE-ENACTMENT
During the week July 7-14, 2007, the FBI has helped Houston, Texas authorities investigate whether adults gave a 2-year old girl the drug ecstasy and taped her reaction. The Victoria Advocate reported that authorities have not been able to determine whether the girl was drugged or not, and that the adults present in the video (believed to have been taken in late June) told authorities that they encouraged the girl to reenact a scene from the movie, The Grudge.
The case highlights both the potential and pitfalls that the FBI and local authorities face when investigating online videos. Resolution of the case will come after further tests are done on the child to figure out whether she was given any illegal substances or not. The YouTube.com video of a child taking ecstasy attracted police attention, but the officers and FBI have to use other means like sophisticated drug tests to prove that abuse occurred.
FBI INVESTIGATIONS RESULTING FROM ACTIONS DEPICTED ON YouTube.com VIDEOS
Prior to the Houston incident, the best example of the FBI involvement with YouTube.com video is its decision to investigate the Los Angeles Police Department in light of a video depicting officers beating a suspect. In the fall of 2007, YouTube.com footage of the brutal arrest of William Cardenas by the Los Angeles police initiated a brutality investigation by the FBI. The incident gained wide coverage in the mainstream media including at MSNBC (where the clip can still be viewed today).

The pre-teen need only to click a button to "Confirm Birthdate". I also wonder if these young females know that any pervert or sexual predator could be among their viewers. Boys video tapping themselves beating up homeless people is another example of criminal stupidity.
Often read stories about "Dumb Things Criminals Do" and uploading videos they know are pirated is one of them. You Tube asks the community to report violations of "Terms of Service". It is amazing what people will post on Presidential hopeful's You Tube Channels. I sometimes shake my head wondering if they have ever heard of the FBI. A 12 year old, for instance, could easily click on one of the comment's Icon and see some stuff that can only be labeled porno.

Why doesn't the FBI investigate Dr. Philip Zack, who was caught entering the Ft. Detrick Lab without authorization, the lab which produced the anthrax used in the flase flag anthrax attack. Poor Dr. Hatfill!!
Why were the Mossad agents where were caught red-handed high-fiving, celebrating, dancing and filming the false flag 9/11 massacre of innocents as it was occuring (which indicates foreknowledge) released back to Israhell? They admitted on an Israeli talk show that they were there to document the incident. The FBI could have done something but didn't. They let their sorry asses go (with the help of Israeli firster Michael Chertoff).
And Osama the patsy? Forget about it. Osama who??
JESUS CHRIST!!! I say as I bang my head against the wall.

Doesn't the FBI have something "real" to do?
Or are they just trying to justify their own existence with this crap?
What the h*ll every happened to locating the anthrax mailer, for instance?

More surveilance and control! Chertoff's "homeland security" at work again! I wonder what this Orwellian institution really consideres to be the homeland it needs to protect, Israel or the USA?
You think that you are free?

FBI's limitless powers, yet another infringement on our rights by the gov't. Add it to the ever-growing list of violations:
They violate the 1st Amendment by opening mail, caging demonstrators and banning books like "America Deceived" from Amazon.
They violate the 2nd Amendment by confiscating guns during Katrina.
They violate the 4th Amendment by conducting warrant-less wiretaps.
They violate the 5th and 6th Amendment by suspending habeas corpus.
They violate the 8th Amendment by torturing.
They violate the entire Constitution by starting 2 illegal wars based on lies and on behalf of a foriegn gov't.
Support Dr. Ron Paul and end this nonsense.
