13. Has anyone else besides me entertained the idea that Assange....
Is a spook. Come on now, the guy gets a hold of top secret footage that is encrypted. Then he gives a week or more notice before he uploads it to the internet for the entire world to see. Now he had Afghan footage depicting war crimes. I have read about people publishing articles and books about the BFEE and they are always suicided. Maybe I am paranoid but in this day and age I truly don't believe we have any more Saviours. All the information we receive is tainted and serves one purpose or another. It is either dis info, divisive, propaganda; or in this case, provocative and designed to put you in your place.

Or let's look at it from a different perspective: Armed forces kill what is clearly unarmed men, unless cameras are now considered WMDs. Then they make a mockery of men who attempted to save a dying man by making derogatory comments regarding the children that were in the car. What purpose does this snuff film serve?

First of all it is terrifying: It leaves you feeling angry, sickened, helpless. That was it's intent. At least that is my opinion. It could have been a warning to independent journalists. One thing is for sure in my mind, the COs giving the orders wanted that group of men terminated. And who knows what intelligence led to that decision. Nothing can be taken at face value, this assassination was handled by low level grunts under orders from superiors. We will never ever know the real reason for the massacre.

You are powerless: What can you do about this obscene murderous event.

We have witnessed a War Crime: Really from all the bullshit about how they can't find the actual video bla bla bla bla. And in the next decade when they actually locate the video, there will never be anyone or anything to held account for the atrocity. And it will always be about "rules of engagement" horse shit. Or the WOT explanation du jour.

The internet community had been traumatized. Sort of like virtual PTSD.

So, ask yourself; What was the purpose of going viral with this footage?

What can you do about it, I mean really.

Who else will do anything about it really??

Do you think the Hague is gonna do anything about it?

No, I think the purpose of the whole dog and pony show is to have you realize how futile any of your protestations are. It is a eyes wide open event.
