Supposed U.S. "al-Qaeda beheading victim" alive and well-HOAX FOOLED NEWS
Edited on Sat Aug-07-04 10:05 PM by Dancing_Dave
The videos showing supposed "Iraq al-Aqaeda beheading victims" have met plenty of healthy intelligent scepticism on the internet. It is very easy to fool the news with terrorizing propaganda stunts. Just as some jokers in California who faked an "al-Aqaeda beheading video" and fooled the international news media! The F.B.I. is pissed--such propaganda tricks are only for the Official covert-op proffesionals--they don't want rank amateurs showing how easy it is to fool the media!!!

1. Yuppers -- our whore press performing rigorous research...

... and due diligence on hard-hitting news stories. Amateurs. Maybe they should stick to covering Laci Peterson and that ilk of psuedo-trash news.

3. Rank Amateurs fool media
Best left to CIA Professionals and John Negroponte "The War Criminal" these tricks are right up their alley.

4. Background on beheading propaganda
The official story about Nick Bergs beheading didn't hold up to closer scrutiny either. Here's one of many interesting little studies:
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/05/28/1085641717320.html?oneclick=true

Of course, Berg really did end up dead, but he must have already been dead before the beheading by some impossible to identify hooded person--there wasn't anywhere near enough blood in the video, as several medical doctors have testified. Since he was last seen alive in U.S. custody, perhaps he was one of the folks who died during interrogation at Abu Gharib. The "al-Aqaeda beheading" would be a perfect propaganda cover-up operation.

6. It's getting ugly folks. We can no longer believe our lying eyes!
Al-Jazeera "reported" the story but didn't air the tape. Al-Arybia showed the tape but not the beheading portion. Does this tell you anything about what we are facing? I don't blame either of the foreign press...with so many beheadings going on. But this also highlights another ugly part of this war in Iraq. Everything that is happening is NOT happening at the hands of Al-qaeda...whoever they are. I believe a lot of this stuff black-bag, special-ops jobs by the US/UK/ISI/Mossad.
We just can not believe anything. All the more reason to pack up and get the hell out of Iraq.
