Alleged James Foley "beheading" video is so incredibly fake. How is anyone buying this bullshit?

Do your own research, draw your own conclusions.

Have you done your own research and drawn your own conclusions? I think the conclusion of most posters is that you’re JAQing off. (Also: what research are you doing?)

Look all you have to say is whether or not you think the video is real and my opinion is that you would be a fool to think that because it’s staged/fake.

Yeah, VT, just “study it out.”

What I have been saying all along has been corroborated by “experts”…what about what you have been saying???

So the experts you cited are fools?

Your experts agree with me that he’s dead. So does everybody else.

My conclusion is that it may or may not be authentic. My guess is that it is. You concluded that it is obviously not, based on viewing the same image I saw. I would like to hear why.

You imply that any idiot can tell it’s fake. Help convince this idiot. You have the podium.

It seems that your logic is that if the video was staged, no murder occurred. But the video may have been staged for any number of reasons. My pet theory is that James Foley yelled out “Allah is a goat felcher” & the terrorist didn’t want that out there, so they spliced in the earlier “practice” execution.

I’m siding with your experts, who concluded: “No one is disputing that at some point an execution occurred.”

What you now seem to be saying is that Foley is still alive. Which experts corroborate that?

Also, please, if you can, give us one logical reason why ISIS would threaten to kill Foley, make a video in which they (apparently) show him dead, but not actually go though with the act. What benefit, in your view, do they get out of it?

I guess the theory is ISIS is just a bunch of big ol’ softies, who would never kill anybody, but still want to look like badasses.

EXPERTS: JAMES FOLEY BEHEADING VIDEO LIKELY FAKE

No shit? The “experts” turned out to be fucking idiots? I consider this vindication. I’m sure the apologies from people who said “the ‘experts’ are right, you are wrong” early in this thread will start rolling in any moment now…

Maybe you and EasyPhil can share notes instead of drinking from the same vat of Kool-Aid.

You’re still on beheading video? Get with the times, man, the new big story is that Supertramp did 9/11. It’s true, ALL CREDIBLE EXPERTS AGREE: SUPERTRAMP DID 9/11 IF YOU DISAGREE THEN YOU’RE PROBABLY A LIZARDMAN???

I expect profuse apologies from everyone who previously said it was done with thermite explosives and not with rock music and orange juice.

Infowars.com? Holy shit, I’m convinced.

Except you’re the only one here who has hopped on the bandwagon. I came to the conclusions in the OP myself, was mocked for it, and now it turns out I was right all along. Derp.

You have indeed been vindicated by none other than “a forensic analyst,” “one expert commissioned to examine the footage,” and “the company, which requested anonymity.” Doesn’t get more rock-solid than that.

Foley murder video ‘may have been staged’

Video of James Foley beheading ‘may have been staged’

Foley video with Briton was staged, experts say

Foley murder video ‘may have been staged’

James Foley execution video staged: experts

Satisfied, or do I need to keep going?

What bandwagon? I asked you days ago why anyone should give a shit if he was killed on-camera or off, and you still don’t have an answer. Neither does EasyPhil. Derp.

There’s always this:

…cut to a really badly Photoshopped STILL IMAGE of his supposedly beheaded head resting on his supposedly beheaded body?

Oh, I think you’ll find I have never disputed the thesis that the video in question was staged. Not even a little.

But really, if you want sane people to take you seriously, you might consider leading with sane sources. When you start out with noted insane person and serial liar Alex Jones, you somewhat undermine yourself.
