Was Beheading Of U.S. Journalist Staged For War?
• AFP examines claims that video of American reporter James Foley being executed was a staged fakery.
By Pete Papaherakles —
On August 20, the White House confirmed the authenticity of a gruesome video showing the beheading of American reporter James Foley by the terrorist group called Islamic State (IS).
The video shows a black-masked IS militant beheading Foley in retaliation for American airstrikes against the group in Iraq. But some skeptics are calling into question the veracity of the video, saying it may have been staged. Could the fake beheading have simply been a ploy to escalate United States involvement in another war in Iraq?
In a press conference, President Barack Obama said: “We will be vigilant. We will be relentless. . . . When people harm Americans anywhere, we do whatever is necessary to see that justice is done. There has to be a common effort to extract this cancer so that it does not spread.”
IS presents a greater threat to the U.S. than al Qaeda and must be defeated, the Pentagon has said. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel added: “They are tremendously well-funded. This is beyond anything we’ve seen.”
The question of who is funding them remains, since most of the equipment IS received is American made, and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Mossad trained some of its leaders. It has also been documented that al Qaeda and IS are one and the same.
On August 25, The Times of London interviewed a video expert, who said that the video of a British jihadist beheading an American hostage was probably a fake. While he did not deny that the killing took place, he said it most likely occurred off camera.
“I think it has been staged,” a visual forensics expert, who was not identified, told the Times after scrutinizing the four-minute, 40-second film.

IN A WORD, YES!!
The FAKE beheadings were created to foment a war in Syria which is where TPTB wanted to be in the first place! BUT the Russians intervened and stopped the first attempt to BOMB SYRIA.. So they TPTB had to come up with a new mind game to manipulate the American public into accepting a WAR which will conveniently spill into SYRIA!
People can’t possibly be buying this crap.. our government is comprised of KNOWN PATHOLOGICAL MURDEROUS LIARS! WMD’s in iraq, that NEVER materialized.. WAS A LIE to get the US sheeple propagandized into a WAR!
