You guys are just now getting this technique? Hehe.. Al-Qaeda has been fooling the Western Media and World with their homemade stupid fake videos for
eons. When Iraq war broke out, 2003? And the first american kidnapped got beheaded, his name was Nick Berg.
In the video, which some ppl thought was completely fake and really had masked westerners acting like al-qaeda (i think it was really al-qaeda). The
reason is because Nick Berg sits there on the ground at the feet of the guys behind him, hands ties behind back, blindfolded. You barely notice a
twitch out of the guy, but he's alive while the speech is given behind him.
Then, theres a "blip" in the tape at the precise moment he is thrown onto his side to be beheaded via a
small serrated ceremonial knife used to
sacrifice goats on Eid-al-Adha, the beheading weapon of choice of al-qaeda (they always have so much trouble separating the spine or brain stem
from the head, once they get to the back, they just saw away on it, why not just .. use a sharp sword, one swipe deal? you know, like mohammad used on
people? lolz). During the blip or static interference in the video clip, there is a really .. for lack of a better term, "cheesy" sounding scream
which sounded very much like someone overlayed it with that part of the video, to simulate Nick Berg screaming, because at the time of the actual head
being severed, they don't want you to know their secret to making excellent smooth flowing execution propaganda videos, which is that they've
already killed the detainee with a lethal internal injury such as a choke out or neck break, or suffocation. Poisoning is a possibility as well. Point
is, usually the detainees are dead when they get their head cut.
Then, more splinter al-qaeda groups started perpetuating this trend of kidnap and behead, until their were groups that were indeed executing their
prisoners alive, such as the Kenneth Bigley and his 2 fellow co-workers that were all kidnapped and beheaded, on video. 2 Americans and a Brit, Brit
tried to escape, made it to another village, was captured and executed? Yea.
Anyways, on alot of the "Zarqawi" early war era films, the detainee is already dead! Nick Berg was dead when they removed the head, remember how
EVERYONE was like "this lack of blood spray when severing these arteries makes no sense, when you cut those the blood is pressurized and comes out
quite announced", Nick Berg just slumps over with a small puddle forming on the floor around his neck as they saw away, with their sacrifical butter
knife, quite intently, for a half of a minute or so.
So yes, these men in this video on this thread were likely dead already, or almost dead, or most were dead and one may have had an ounce of energy
left, making a twitch for the cam. Alternatively, nudging the dead bodies with a foot from the back side when they are supporting each others' dead
weight will make it look like one or more of the men has twitched or made a movement. Just little techniques .. little tricks.
I don't care
WHO you are, if thrown into a pit of fire with gasoline or equivalent on your body, to be burned alive, from start to finish, you
will
INVOLUNTARILY scream from the pain before you go into shock and die quite quickly. They didnt make a peep. Nice observation guys. Kudos to
you for denying stupid towel-wearing ignorance. I hope i didnt offend any terrorists to get warned by the mod staff, lol.
I scream just getting burnt on my hand or whatever, I'll go "owwww!" real loud or make some loud noise .. theres just no way.
And I have been through alot of medical .. well, being put unconcious in a hospital for surgery or something. And when they
inject the right
stuff, you WILL not wake up, despite that they are cutting through your skin, even removing organs, doing internal work on you, til it wears off. It
takes an intra veinous injection though, not just some pills.
So this vary well may be the case, they could've shot these boys up with something hard core to knock them unconcious for a set amount of time, or to
kill them via medicine. Either way, they wont be screaming in the fiery pit, theyll just burn up and never even know it.
