Sure thing. Lastly, here's something for you to think about.
The sole source of these so-called ISIS beheading videos is the SITE Intelligence Group, which is a private US company. Also, funny enough, this video fails to show any actual beheading take place (and is almost the exact same format aw the Foley, Sotloff, Haines, and Gourdel videos did.
Don't believe me? Here's a piece written by The Independent during round 1 of this fiasco, which states the following:
SITE (it stands for ‘Search for International Terrorist Entities’) is a for-profit US-based consultancy group that monitors and tracks the activities of “international terrorists and the global jihadist network”.
The group has ties to both the US government and commercial clients and specialises in monitoring the online activities of jihadis, watching discussions over the best suicide vests and how to launder money play out over forums – before issuing warnings to their clients (they also keep a regularly updated blog).
And for those of you who have furrowed brows sipping your coffee early this Superbowl Sunday morning, take a brief moment to think about that.
Each one of these videos for American, British, French, and now Japanese citizens all have the characteristic theme, with the Guantanamo Bay orange jump suit, but they all fade to black immediately before you see the actual event take place. Seriously. You never see a thing, it's almost like a bad 80s horror movie with no special effects budget, and they fade to black and let your mind take over the rest.
Shit - even in the Gourdel video there are two frames of the Foley video stuck in the fade-to-black portion, by accident or on purpose I do not know.
So please, you owe it to yourself to watch these once, and realize that the news is not reporting this correctly, and are using one intelligence group as a source for all of these videos, which us a US based company,which releases these videos before ISIL/ISIS does.
They are even linked to the 2007 bin Laden videos, which surfaced after a 4 year break and he was noticeably larger, with a flatter nose and darker beard, quite and accomplishment for someone in renal failure and being a most wanted man after 9/11.
Kinda makes you think.
And does anybody know why the Message to Japan videos (if you watched them) were in English with Arabic subtitles? How does that even make sense?
Why go through all this? I ask myself that every day. I also often ask ehy they repealedthe Smith Mundt Actof 1948, which banned the funding and dissemination of propaganda by the US government to it's own population.
