A study conducted by an international forensic science company, which has previously worked for police forces across Britain, has suggested that camera trickery and slick post-production techniques appear to have been used in the murder video of James Foley by a jihad terrorist.
“After enhancements, the knife can be seen to be drawn across the upper neck at least six times, with no blood evidence to the point the picture fades to black,” one forensic analyst told The Times.
“I think it has been staged. My feeling is that the execution may have happened after the camera was stopped,” stated another expert.
The Telegraph reports:
Sounds allegedly made by Foley do not appear consistent with what may be expected.
During Foley’s speech, there appears to be a blip which could indicate the journalist had to repeat a line.
One expert commissioned to examine the footage was reported as saying: “I think it has been staged. My feeling is that the execution may have happened after the camera was stopped.”
However the company, which requested anonymity, did not reach a definitive answer.
It concluded: “No one is disputing that at some point an execution occurred.”
Other factors that make this beheading suspicious:
1) Professionally produced video (most are on cell phones)
2) The lack of any wind or background noise (like it was on a sound stage)
3) The cheesy ‘Hollywood style’ bad guy
4) The educated terrorist with a distinct British accent
5) The video is in English with Arabic subtitles (normally is is the opposite)
6) The very calm demeanor of the “victim”
7) The very casual atmosphere of the executioner and victim
8) The fade to black once they started (this is the biggest oddity because they ALWAYS feature the most gruesome part – that is the point of it)
9) The most sadistic group in the Middle East makes a beheading video PG-13?
10) The scene of the body (stills are not as convincing as video)
11) The calm demeanor of the “next victim” who supposedly just watched a friend get decapitated
12) The bad guy had no blood on him (beheading is very messy)
13) When the bad guy started “sawing” – absolutely no blood is visible
14) The reaction of the parents is pretty much “ho hum, our son died” (reminds me of Sandy Hook parents)
I’ve always had a great respect for someone who hides behind a mask then kills a bound unarmed man. I’d sure like to give this coward the opportunity to do this to me on equal terms. Naw…I’d public castrate him first then cut off his F*****G head. Take a chickens $#%&!@* to kill someone in tis manner… There is no WARRIOR in this $#%&!@*…
No $#%&!@*…..
so that means foley isn’t dead or ISIS was only trying to provoke us?
are you kidding me, just look at the freakin body. It looks like a dummy. last time i checked when you cut someone’s head off the blood splatter goes everywhere, not just in one spot on the ground. You dont even see him cut his head off in the video, just fades to black and comes back to a body on the floor. This screams f**e.
no there’s really not all that much blood involved in a decapitation. there really isn’t. but i’m guessing it is f**e seeing as ISIS, while in possession of some strong fire power, is just a pawn.
Why would they not do this they cut off kids heads and put them on fences.
true, and think about it, if you’re about to get your head cut off you are going to die anyway, why not try to take someone with you or do something if the result is going to be the same, i feel like the media is trying to ramp up the war machine again.
regardless, obama is trying to create a back down into syria, which he has been trying to change the regime for years. Blaming the chemical attacks in syria on the government, when it was the rebels who are us funded that did it.
How the hell do you idiots know what it looks like when someone’s head is cut off? That’s not the $#%&!@*ing point!!! These $#%&!@*s have captured American citizens and Obama is doing nothing about it!! Until you got a $#%&!@*ing terrorist with a knife at your throat you don’t know how you will react!!
obama is pushing for airstrikes in syria, thats all he is doing. I can guarantee if someone had a knife to my throat i would do a hell of a lot more than let them record me getting my head cut off.
