Nick Berg video being declared a fraud............?? (Page 1 of 3)

When I first saw the video on the 11th my eyes went directly to the hand of the hooded figure second from the right, his hand was as pale as was Berg's face.  How could one not see that hooded figure was caucasian?

I had the feeling right away that to a great degree what I was seeing was staged, and quickly put my emotions is check.  I didn't see the part of the video footage, and won't, where he was murdered, but I see one of the above articles reveals it is physically impossible to be as tidy of a murder as they are saying it was viewed to be.   

And just when we thought we'd seen some of the worst U.S. military and political leadership had to offer.

I agree about staying away from the news.  It inspires fear, and most of it isn't even real.  I was watching CNN today (while waiting for my lunch to be made) and the story dealt with an army invading chad and some other african country in the name of "ethnic cleansing" . people were starving, blah, blah.

while starvation is a massive problem, what caught my attention was an interview with an african man which had to be translated into american.  And i thought, "the translator can easily quote someone incorrectly...he could be talking about a movie he saw last week, and the translator could say that he's terrified and being bombed."  just a thought, although it may not be so extreme in real life.

i find that cnn.com is a sick addiction for me.  i tend to compulsively type in the address before even realizing it.  i went for years without watching the news (as a child i never liked it, now i'm "paranoid" enough as it is   )

i want to stay on top of everything, and it can give me a sense of panic.  i don't watch television, and reserve my tv for movies, otherwise give me a book anyday.

as far as nick berg, i looked over those articles that lyra posted, and i dunno.  since that faked madison kidnapping which happened a few months ago-  happened in my area...i'm sure some of you have heard of it?  i have a hard time jumping out of my seat for most things.  i wonder if he's dead?  or was dead already?  i don't know...what do you guys think?

Seems FreeRepublic forums "outed" Nick's dad on their list of anti-war people; mentioned the company name, too; you know, the company Nick was representing when he went to Iraq?  Their esteemed membership, many of whom are military, etc., boasted about using every means necessary to harass people on the list.

Lies, lies, and more lies.  Nothing is what is seems.

Interesting, I thought about the same thing yesterday afternoon, the bell beginning to toll... it's rather resounding isn't it, there is something about feeling this that feels so irrevocable, huh?

Nick Berg's supposed company "Prometheus Methods Tower Company" doesn't even exist.

Hi Auendove -  Thanks.   I had to stop and think last night about why I was driven to start this thread and keep it updated with any new info. that comes in.   I think it's because this is such a galvanizing event, it's a huge, huge big deal because of what will come out of it down the line, and also, because of the huge psychological effect it's having on the general public and how its swaying their opinon about things.   I want people to realize (like I have, much too late)  that things are not as they seem to be.   The news is lies, all of it.   In fact, the more shocking the material, the GREATER the chance for deception.    And also, because of the fact that most of the public won't hear "the other side", the anamalies, the things that don't add up, the contradictions, the p.o.v. from supposed Arab translators who are saying that the U.S. government's official translation of the tape is wrong, that there never was a mention of "Al Quada" anywhere in the tape.    Most of the public doesn't go to alternative news sites like infowars.com, whatreallyhappened.com, conspiracyplanet.com, davidicke.com, rense.com, etc. etc.   They all go to like, CNN, or, MSN, or AOL or something, I don't know.     Whatever the normal people do!     So yeah, I'm glad people out there are benefitting from this thread, that's good to hear.
