How long before "Isis #2" is killed, as will be reported by the propaganda media?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by bluesbassman (a host of the General Discussion forum).

It's part of the propaganda playbook:

1: Invent false reason for war/bombing/attacks
2: Start killing people to "prevent killings"
3: Show beheading video to show how barbaric and inhuman the evil others are
4: Kill a "#2" to show how much safer the war on whatever is making the world
5: Increase troop strength/bombings/money to war effort
6: Show video of evil others being killed
7: Issue fake terror alerts for American locations like airports
8: Say it'll take years of military actions

The propaganda may not be released in that exact order but it's the playbook and they are following it.

To many people buy into the BS from the likes of Snowden and Greenwald and don't really care if what they say is not really the "truth"!

so silent over the past several years about the brutality of the Maliki, our puppet, government which was responsible for the rise of these militants?

I've been following Iraq since it was 'handed over to Maliki' and right from that point, saw reports of the brutality of that Govt towards the Sunni population there, shooting them in the streets for protesting peacefully, torturing them, as CHELSEA MANNING REPORTED and was told to STFU. Odd, isn't it, that just telling Maliki he needed to stop the brutality five years or more ago and start building a government that included everyone, or he would have no support from the US, might have ended the violence that has been going on now for several years.

Suddenly we hear about this 'Isis' group and warnings of how we have to go in and rescue people.

We heard NO SUCH TALK when 4 MILLION Iraqis were driven out of Iraq into Jordan and Syria where they still remain, because of OUR illegal and brutal invasion of that country.

I blame ALL OF IT including the tragic death of this reporter on the War Criminals who started it all and who are STILL free and still demanding more military action in that region.
