Judi McLeod / Canada Free Press
Media hype rides on romanticizing revolutions no matter how evil in bloodlust and by creating tantalizing mysteries and myths around their heinous leaders.
Pumping the mythical, the mysteries and plain mist around the likes of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the head of the Islamic State, formerly the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), they believe will draw in readers and viewers like flies to spilled honey.
Even amid the agonizing cries of the captured, the modern-day mainstream media continue to shoehorn fake enigmas on guttural monsters.
Hyping the hype, they create monster myths that romanticize the current leader of the Islamic State who behead, crucify and bury alive those they mercilessly hunt down.
“No one knows anything about him. “He can be a Robin Hood. He could be Dr. Evil. It’s very hard to fight a myth,” said Patrick Skinner of the Soufan Group, a security consulting firm.” (NBC News June 16, 2014)
If Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s a Robin Hood, then Barack Obama’s an America-loving president.
Baghdadi’s a 42-year-old Samarra-born jihadist yahoo who went all the way from a U.S. detention camp to the top of the jihadist universe and a $10 million bounty on his head with no one barring his way.
Like so many freed from Club Gitmo, Baghdadi always got a pass.
“He ended up at Camp Bucca in 2005, where the commander in charge of the U.S. detention facility could not have imagined he would one day be capturing city after city in Iraq. (NBC News)
“He didn’t rack up to be one of the worst of the worst,” said Col. Ken King, who oversaw Camp Bucca in 2008 and 2009.
“Baghdadi may have tried to manipulate other detainees or instigate reactions from the guards, but he knew the rules well enough not to get in serious trouble.
“The best term I can give him is savvy,” said King, who first spoke to the Daily Beast.
“The colonel recalled that when Baghdadi was turned over to the Iraqi authorities in 2009, he remarked, “I’ll see you guys in New York,” an apparent reference to the hometown of many of the guards.
“But it wasn’t menacing. It was like, ‘I’ll be out of custody in no time,’” King said.
What in the name of God do these monsters have to do before they are regarded as menacing!
“He’s managed this secret persona extremely well and it’s enhanced his group’s prestige.”(NBC News)
