Eventually there will be an event similar to the killing of the Blackwater contractors in Fallujah. The pressure on the administration to give a ham fisted response will be enormous (especially if it is an American soldier). However, without 140,000 combat troops in theater for a tactical reply, how will that come about? More than likely, whatever it is will be immense, and only serve to make things worse.

Hey, and there I was thinking that things couldn't get any worse, or perhaps better at the same time.

Surely it will. I believe it will come about and carried out in the same way it was instigated, robotically. A whole new meaning to hearing the troops cry, "Drone on."

If you have not seen the Frontline episode "Losing Iraq" it is worth watching. Although it is encumbered by the usual corporate view (in which I included the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to a softer degree) it does evince the attitude and idiocy of the military and policy elite. Seriously, the shit they come up with, and there is no one in the room who says, "you're joking, right?" Occasionally there are, and they are men of rank and experience, but they are ignored in the name of an intensely patriotic drive for short term profit. You got to see this Bremer character in action talking about how he had to sneak out of the country....

Personally I think ISISL is real. I also believe the US and Europe are not beyond trying to manipulate them and or be hoodwinked by them. The price of oil is now already dangerously low to the point of squeezing profits. So in a sense it doesn't matter if there is a blockade of the Straits of Hormuz. The anit-Assad forces now have far too much ordinance to be routed by conventional means, and most if not all have proven predictably untrustworthy and far more likely to join Jihad than any western sponsored alliance. Therefore, I fear that JSOC will come up with some kind of diabolical plan wherein I can imagine someone saying "Yeah, we'll show those fuckers, after we flatten the city and they evacuate we will make the highway of death look like a Girl Scout parade." In short, when they come to that point, and it may not be far off, they will want something far more spectacular than removing a photographer's head. It will be something far more civilized and much, much, scarier than that.

A fate worse than death.

How interesting.

…do professional film crews use external artificial light even in sunny California… ?

,,,do they require generators which would be audible…?



Yeah we do that all the time. But there would be no reason to do that here. And it would take a lot of work, actually, to get two different shadows on two different people's faces in this situation. A stupid amount of work. None of which is evident around them, i.e. you'd have to completely remove the sunlight off of them, which would get rid of their shadows on the ground, which are actually NOT as fucked up as the shadows on their faces ... And yes, there would have to be a generator involved, or at least some form of power that could run lights running upwards of 18,000 watts apiece.

It's obvious to me that the guys were shot separately and then digitally composited into the shot that you see.

"i.s." Burns Jordanian Pilot Alive


I think we know this population here in the US, and my prediction is, all it's going to take is one such incident to an American, and it's going to be oceans of napalm in the desert until there is no trace left of the i.s.

The actual video is kinda hard to find, but I found what seems to be it on this site from the Nethrrlands

DO NOT WATCH UNLESS YOU WANT TO WATCH WHAT APPEARS TO BE A GUY BURN TO DEATH.

http://www.thepostonline.nl/2015/02/03/ ... nt-page-1/

The video is weird as fuck. Heavily stylized, lots of weird editing and digital effects. The pilot walks around in this weird place surrounded by guys in fatigue-like uniforms and face masks. It's very staged, theatrical, and the pilot looks like an actor.

It's like a bad dream sequence from a bad movie.

Then he's in a cage and they appear to set him on fire.

If it's fake, it's done convincingly this time. For a change.

However no proof that it's real given the state of modern day digital SFX.

They can do this digitally. Look at "Fury" the movie I you want an example.

For the love of God or whatever you find holy, do not watch this video. You will regret it.

You WILL regret it.

Or maybe just round up, and gather the 144,000 for the rapture...

Nope. Not going to watch it. Which brings me to, why? Why, why, why is this positively disgusting and yet newsmaking? If the "USA's" role in this is clean why not just cut the shit and simply say that old rightist maxim "turn that desert to glass"? You know "we" can do it, so if you're so terrifying, let's just cut to the chase to spare the entire world from this sort of newsmaking horror -- shit that gives children nightmares. We can destroy you, within moments, so let's take your motherfucking masks off and see who the fuck you are. I believe that something nefarious is indeed happening, but not how any of it is being portrayed.

It's difficult to find the words to comment upon the pilot's murder. Merciless horror?

I do agree Consul. ISISL has taken on a life of its own and is determined to establish a united Caliphate, absorbing and doing away with the divisive map-making of Sykes and Picot. The men of the house of Saud are shaking in their sandals.

Not sure how that is suppose to attract new jihadis. I mean it's what the US government did to innocent Japanese in Tokyo in the 40s. But geez...given ISIS has zero strategic value or ground,
all they can do is dream up(or, be puppeteered to carry out) the most horrific single acts on the human body. Geez, hope they don't get a copy of 2010's indie cult hit A Serbian Film.

After this act, what more could they do? It's becoming a surrealist game of the arcade series Mortal Kombat. They cant win at all on the battle field...so hey, let's rip someones face off, feed it to dogs, pour salt on their
fleshy face, cut off their balls and then cut off their arms and make them watch The Voice and Friends.

I guess someone is going to post how the "shadows are wrong" in the burning of a human being alive in a cage. Good grief(and yes Im more than aware ISIS is most likely part of some Satanic globalist propaganda coup)
