The James Foley Video is Obviously Fake

by Scott Creighton

Yesterday I wrote about the latest laughable twist to the ISIS Crisis campaign: the alleged beheading of “missing” journalist, James Foley. I would like to make one minor correction to yesterday’s rant: the video is a complete fake.

I had seen a video someone posted at Above Top Secret on a thread discussing the Foley fiasco which did show someone being beheaded. I had assumed that it was the Live Leak full video of the Foley beheading, not an edited version from Youtube which are all down at this time.

Turns out, that video was of someone else which is why yesterday I suggested they switched some poor soul for Foley at the moment of truth. That was not the case.

Today I have seen the real Foley beheading video and it is obviously a fake. It is professionally produced in some ambiguous dessert, could be government controlled Iraq, could be Jordan, could be outside Vegas for all I know.

What I do know is the video is a forgery. It’s well made except for the lack of the gory “beheading” special effects which would have been much more difficult to produce without the tell-tale CGI and taken much longer than they apparently had. The fact that the “dreaded ISIS” choose to exclude that particular part of the production belies the counterfeit nature of the production as does the reluctance by the MSM to actually show the fake crap to their audiences while simultaneously using it as justification, unquestioningly, for Obama’s renewed Iraq occupation.

Foley is obviously acting. He’s reading cue cards. He pauses as they are switched by the person holding them just off camera. His delivery is monotone. The entire video is devoid of any emotion on his part as well as his British executioner.

The acting sounds much like that of one of the in-between scenes of a professional wrestling production.

The video they show of the president making his recent speech about bombing and “boots on the ground” in Iraq as well as the “heroic” looking image of Foley in Army gear, is cross purposing. It’s designed to cast both in a favorable light, hardly something one would expect from ISIS.

The text of his statement is clearly designed to implicate anyone who condemns our colonialist endeavor in Iraq as ISIS sympathizers. The British have already suggested anyone sharing the video or downloading it may be considered in league with the terrorists.

Scotland Yard warned the public that viewing, downloading or disseminating the video within the UK might constitute a criminal offence under terrorism legislation.” Guardian

The “terrorism” they are referring to is the act of showing this ridiculous propaganda to others online and exposing it for the fraud that it is. That’s why it’s been removed from Youtube while gruesome videos remain. They don’t want us pointing out how staged it is.

Here’s an interesting observation about Mr. Foley. Does anyone else think the guy has put on weight since his capture in 2012? Looks remarkably healthy doesn’t he for a guy held captive by the “ebil Syrian Assad” and ISIS for nearly 2 years?

His teeth are whiter than Obama’s. Good dental program with ISIS?

The British guy holding the fake stage knife is almost as bad of an actor as Foley.

Also notice the scripting: while both mention casualties in Iraq, neither mention CIVILIAN casualties. They IMPLY it, but don’t SAY IT. That’s key to understanding the mind set and aspirations of the person who wrote this. No mention of bombed children. No mention of Islamic women being killed. And no mention of the neoliberal puppet regime in Iraq which this is all supposed to be about.

The actual beheading, unlike the video some influence peddling troll put up on the aforementioned ATS thread, is obviously fake. The British asset playing the role of the ISIS terrorist saws away at the neck of Foley at least 12 times as the camera fades to black. There is no blood during any portion of that segment of the video. That’s because the knife is plastic and blunt.

In the last segment of this video morality play we see what is purportedly the body of James Foley with his head detached and resting on top. The shirt seems much shorter than the one being worn by Foley during the rest of the videos. The head seems like it was professionally manufactured by someone rather skilled in the theatrical arts of film-making special effects. All Foley would have had to have done is sit for a couple hours while craftsmen made a mold of his head. The rest is simply latex and make-up.

Over at Reddit, a reader left a comment which I will place here in it’s entirety. He lays out good reasoning as to why it’s clearly a fake. I will leave you with this.
