After reading through this thread, because it has jumped pages since I was last online. I must say, many members many perspectives.
To those who say the video is too much to be viewed, try and remember ATS was at the forefront when the Nick Berg and other beheading videos came
about.
It was members of ATS and other online conspiracy sites, who were trying to find the answers of whether or not the videos were faked, because the
theory was plausible.
As for personal sensibilties being hurt, you read the warning, you chose to continue. Some of you find this material offensive and it should be, other
feel it ought to be known of because extemist religious zealots, nomatter what faith are still zealots.
Those accusing me of pushing a propaganda agenda, sure fine if it shuts you up and directs the discussion back on topic. Yes, I have an agenda of
furthering public awareness.
Media of any form, from radio to television or published papers to this internet is all media with some ones propaganda.
But the atrocities are still real, no matter what label one decides to give it.
Piss and moan about how you don't agree with this material and go ahead and point the finger back at the USA for bombing. Misdirect as you wish, but
it doesn't change reality for the rest of the world.
Want to know what would be happening if no one knew this kind of horror was occuring, nothing. Because obviously some peole would rather turn their
backs and imagine it doesn't exist. Because if you can't see it is isnt real right....
Sorry buddy, I ripped your protective binky out from under you. But the boogy man is not going to be stopped because you are hiding under your
blanket. The comfort too many people have taken for granted, of being safe in their homes and beds does not exist for the people of those other
countries.
Also, it doesn't exist for certain Muslims in the USA. Like the lady whose husband chopped her head off! Linked to in my first post, it is not just
overseas in some bass ackword third world country,
It happened here;
Brutal Irony In New York Woman's Beheading - CBS News
Accuse me of proliferating propaganda, for my own agenda, which I admit is for pushing public awareness.
Fine, but do not make what is some thing it isn't. No matter where, or for what reasons, there is no excuse for the violent mutilation of another
human as a form of punishment.
I am not trying to say the people in those videos are or were innocent, obviously they did some thing, but was treason or spying worth beheading
them?
No, I am not saying the US Government us inffallable and innocent of any guilty crimes. I not saying the Military of the USA has never commited any
war crimes, but we sure as hell are not baking Jews in the ovens.
You think Gitmo was horrible, take a trip with a CIA rendidtion team to Uzbekistan, and watch how the CIA sanctioned their prisoners to be
boiled alive by Uzbek interrogators/torturers.
So no, I amnot just pushing a one sided agenda, to try and make the US look all goddamn rosy. NO, I have mentioned in previous posts on this thread US
atrocities.
Again, the more people know as individuals, the more we as a whole will know.
You want to rant and rave about how horrable the US is, then at least get the right damn crime mentioned.
Because I for one am aware of the atrocities commited by Americans, and Gitmo or drone dropped bombs are the least of any ones concern.
Finally, thank you yes you the members who called me out because of what you beleive in. I am not offended and am proud of you for giving a damn
enough to speak up.
But, as that is your opinion, so it is for the others here and myself who may have a different one.
At the very least, we can agree to disagree.
But do not let it distract from the very relevent and real world which is not all warms hugs and happiness.
Excuse me, for popping in on your sheltered world, but that is what I do best evidently...
But keep this in mind I am not a supporter of my own US government. I am against the things they have sactioned in the name of this so called war on
terror.
I am for the American People, and if I have to shock and awe them into the 21st century so be it.
It is a shame though, seeing that there is some of you out there wh would rather nuke an entire culture because of the bad apples.
Not all people of the Islamic faith are head chopping extemists. But they are threatened by those types, and it is the person who says tot hem well it
is your faith deal with it, when in fact it is a perverted and twisted deranged version that they are threatened with.
Not all muslims are terrorists, but it sure seems like all terrorists are extremist muslims...
