BERG BEHEADING IS A BUSH "PSY OP"

Just in the nick of time, as the crusaders were going into meltdown over the outrage of the sexual perversions and torture photos of iraqi prisoners being released into the semiosphere, the word came down from up top, "We need a distraction, an atrocity, an outrage and we need it NOW!"
It's the classic "CIA, Black Op" it appears that The CIA arranged for some of their Iraqi musclemen (most likely Ahmed Chalabi) to cut off the head of what appears to be an American intelligence agent cutout for a staged atrocity, "made to order."
It looks like a "Sheep dip" operation. Berg is an Oswald. A patsy. A made to order, fall guy. A sleeper, waiting to be activated, this time as a sacrificial lamb to distract the comatose masses as they sit there and say, "Take my rights but protect my precious flesh."
Questions are swirling around the very suspicious activities of the CIA in the hours preceding the beheading of the 26 year old American.
There is also the question of the alarming, "coincidental," connection to Moussaoui.
The murdered man's father is coming out with a scathing attack on Bush claiming it's Bush who is behind the death of his kid.

And the message gets transmitted at different levels to different groups.
1) For the gullible non thinkers sheep they get the brunt of the horror and nothing more. For their brains are so profoundly stunted by the continous "Psy-op" and the alpha state induced conditioning from the television. In the alpha state you forget about the coffins and rape. And now you react exactly in the preplanned way and say, "See, Raping and torture is much better than Beheading, see, we're the good guys cause we only rape and torture, not like those evil terrorists who cut off people's heads... duh."

2) But to the thinking people, the people who are aware and awake the message is loud and clear: We can kill you at will. Anytime - anywhere. You'll be the next one in the orange smock.

3) Also the message to the antiwar movement (Berg was supposedly "Anti war") is: "Watch out! We're offing civilians now too." (Although don't believe for one second that he was just a civilian. He's got "Agency Patsy" written all over his decapitated body.)

4) Aparantly what the Freepers did was to get a list of anti war movement people and publicize it and create a hit list in essence and this kid's name was on the freepers list and he goes over there and get's picked up by US forces who later deny they detained him.

5) The Message is: Stuff happens to anti war people.
It's the softening up and desensitization of the human mind.
Gun's present in frame: Israeli Ak47 and a Mac 9MM
White plastic lawn chair identical is the same as in Abu Gharib prison torture and sexual assault photos.
Raising the threat level for those who can see it.
For those who can see what is real
prometheus (kid's company name)
The Neo Cons are bringing the terror to a new level.
They would of course have Chalabi's boys do the act.
It's got EVERY SINGLE HALLMARK OF A CIA BLACK OP JOB
1) It's got the bogus near certain identification of the hooded executioner as being "Al-Zarqawi" within minutes. A feat literally impossible for the CIA to do.
2) There was No Blood spurting from neck. Experts (Except the CIA "Ex-spurts") noticed the obvious lack of blood spurting from any neck artery which should accompany a beheading - There was none. (Major media fails to mention this obvious fact)
3) Looks like the same director who did the previous phony Bin Laden Video with the admittedly fake Bin Laden.
4) It's surfacing that Berg worked at the Abu Ghraib prison????WTF!!!
5) There is a Link to Moussaoui. Moussaoui emailed something from this kid's laptop. The FBI says: "Nothing to see here, move along." And the media doesn't dare talk too much about it. And they are going to try to tell the American people, "Oh it's just a coincidence that the so called 20th hijacker just COINCIDENTALLY emailed from this kid's laptop before 911. And the people who's minds have been so saddenly destroyed by the effects and dumbing down of the Television, will accept that it just must have been a coincidence. (The thinking is: If it's got the swirling graphics and ominous theme music and read by some blond bimbo on CNN, we can feed these mental midgets anything, no matter how rediculous - they'll believe anything.)
6) Berg has a mysterious Israeli passport stamp.
7) Berg has sensitive electronic equipment on his person that he has no paperwork for.
7) Berg travels the world helping the disadvantaged? Huh? What? Big Hmmmm on that one.
8) And just exactly what is a jew doing as a freelancer in the apocalyptic war torn Jew hating Iraq? Does he have a death wish? Is he mentally retarded? Nope, He's a US government agent - albiet a patsyesque one.
9) Bergs father smells a rat - he thinks it's the US Gov who killed his son - and not abstractly so either.
These are the working notes of this atrocity, look for updates as this story develops
Berg was absolutely positively murdered by the shadow operators of the US Government. It's in your face. It's a very dangerous time for the human race.
Get in their face
Dont have a shred of fear
Don't give in an inch to their Nazi tactics
Get off your knees
Open your mind
Wake up
and fight these bastards!

Fishy Circumstances and Flawed Timelines Surround American's Beheading

Infowars.com
05-12-04

UPDATE 12:45PM Central: This just in -- U.S. spokesman says decapitated American was never held by U.S. forces

With several news outlets reporting that Berg's family is angry from the US government over their son's violent death and revelations that "Berg was detained by Iraqi police at a checkpoint in Mosul on March 24. He was turned over to U.S. officials and detained for 13 days" (in other words, he was detained by the US military just prior to his death) -- (AP 5/11/04) we have to question what really happened and who was really behind Berg's horrific murder.

We have received several emails from listeners questioning what really happened including this one:

me and a friend were discussing recent news events and trying to piece together the information presented to us, thought you might want to look into this further, they said in the news that nicholas berg was killed 2 weeks ago (i think), however in the video the culprits who killed him said they were "avenging iraqi prisoner abuse" but those photos weren't released until last week, so my question is how is that even a possible motive if he was killed prior to the abuse photos being released??  maybe i am misinformed but thought id ask the question to someone who would look into it

And this one:

Hey Alex, I know people like me who have learned not to trust our government tend to see a conspiracy under every rock. With that said... The picture the media is now showing of the guy the terrorist beheaded as revenge for what went on in the Iraqi prisons looks odd to me. If you look at the men dressed in black, they all seem well fed. Actually most look fat. That bothers me, because these guys are fighting a war and eating on the run. They are constantly on the move and should be either very fit and trim or scrawny and malnourished because of the same reasons. One thing they should not be is fat like couch potatoes. If you look at all of the photos of the prisoners who were naked who supposedly were just plucked of the street, most of them are thin. Just an observation Alex

And this one:

1) extremely convenient "wag the dog" timing at the height of furor
regarding U.S. torture of Iraqis

2) CNN poll question:  "Is the Berg killing a reason for withholding any
remaining Iraq prisoner abuse pictures?"  Bush has been reported to be
struggling with question of whether Pentagon should release additional
torture photos.  Given that the alleged decapitation of Berg was allegedly
prompted by the first wave of torture photos, Bush could now cite "national
security" issues for witholding additional materials.

3) Berg's last known whereabouts was in U.S. custody.

4) Berg shown in video wearing orange jumpsuit known to be of U.S. issue
(compare with pictures at Guantanamo).

5) Berg mysteriously captured by Al-Quaeda (still wearing jumpsuit).  Either
he escaped from U.S. captors or U.S. let him out -- with orange suit and
all -- to be immediately apprehended by Al-Quaeda (before he had a chance to
change).

6) Tape obviously spliced together and heavily edited.  Goes from a) Berg
sitting in chair talking about family, to b) Berg sitting on floor with
hooded "militants" behind, to c) blurry camera movement, to d) almost
motionless Berg on floor as head cut off.

7) Audio clearly dubbed in.

8) "Arab" reader flips through pages of "statement" and keeps ending up on
the same page.  Perhaps doesn't even known enough Arabic to recognize what
page he's on?

9) "Arabs" have lily-white hands and (other exposed) skin.

10) "Arabs" have Western-style body posture and mannerisms.

11) When Berg decapitated, there was almost no blood.  If Berg were still
alive at this point, with the cut starting at front of throat, blood would
have been spraying everywhere.  Berg's severed head, the floor, Berg's
clothes, and even the hand of the "Arab" who decapitated Berg had no visible
blood on it.

12) Berg's body didn't move while on the ground.  Although held down, Berg
would have tried to instinctively wiggle and writhe away from captor's grip.

13) Camera angle made it impossible to see if Berg's eyes were even open.

14) Alleged "scream" from Berg sounded to be that of a woman and was clearly
dubbed in.

15) Berg goes to great trouble to identify himself, providing information
about his family.  Why?  To elicit greater sympathy?  Or to provide a
positive ID.  FBI visited Berg family in an attempt to "verify his
identity".  Guy in video looks very little like Berg photos provided by
family.

I believe that Berg (or this lookalike character) was first killed (perhaps
by lethal injection, poisoning, etc.), then decapitated after dead (explains
lack of blood spraying everywhere).  Berg was killed by Al-Quaeda (known to
be a CIA - Mossad joint venture).  Berg video released at height of furor
over U.S. torture of Iraqis and just before Bush was to decide whether to
release additional torture videos.  Now torture videos will be witheld from
public for reasons of national security.  Now "patriots" everywhere will
laud the virtues of U.S. torture of "enemies".  Sensitivity level of public
gets heightened in terms of what's acceptable treatment of prisoners.
Juxtaposed with decapitation, piling naked men into pyramid is nothing.
Such treatment will be considered more and more acceptable even in domestic
situations.  George W. Bush sleeps well tonight while Berg family lives in
torture.  Serves Berg's father right for opposing Bush and the war of
aggression against Iraq.

I think the pieces are finally coming together.

Rumsfeld Approved Iraq Interrogation Plan

Sat May 15, 4:18 PM ET

By Jeremy Pelofsky

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld approved a plan that brought unconventional interrogation methods to Iraq to gain intelligence about the growing insurgency, ultimately leading to the abuse of Iraqi prisoners, the New Yorker magazine reported on Saturday.

Rumsfeld, who has been under fire for the prisoner abuse scandal, gave the green light to methods previously used in Afghanistan for gathering intelligence on members of al Qaeda, which the United States blames for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the magazine reported on its Web site.

Pentagon spokesman Jim Turner said he had not seen the story and could not comment. The article hits newsstands on Monday.

U.S. interrogation techniques have come under scrutiny amid revelations that prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison outside Baghdad were kept naked, stacked on top of one another, forced to engage in sex acts and photographed in humiliating poses.

Rumsfeld, who has rejected calls by some Democrats and a number of major newspapers to resign, returned on Friday from a surprise trip to Iraq and Abu Ghraib prison, calling the scandal a "body blow." Seven soldiers have been charged.

The abuse prompted worldwide outrage and has shaken U.S. global prestige as President Bush seeks re-election in November. Bush has backed Rumsfeld and said the abuse was abhorrent but the wrongful actions of only a few soldiers.

The U.S. military has now prohibited several interrogation methods from being used in Iraq, including sleep and sensory deprivation and body "stress positions," defense officials said on Friday.

SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM

The New Yorker said the interrogation plan was a highly classified "special access program," or SAP, that gave advance approval to kill, capture or interrogate so-called high-value targets in the battle against terror.

Such secret methods were used extensively in Afghanistan but more sparingly in Iraq -- only in the search for former President Saddam Hussein and weapons of mass destruction. As the Iraqi insurgency grew and more U.S. soldiers died, Rumsfeld and Defense Undersecretary for Intelligence Stephen Cambone expanded the scope to bring the interrogation tactics to Abu Ghraib, the article said.

The magazine, which based its article on interviews with several past and present American intelligence officials, reported the plan was approved and carried out last year after deadly bombings in August at the U.N. headquarters and Jordanian Embassy in Baghdad.

A former intelligence official quoted in the article said Rumsfeld and Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, approved the program but may not have known about the abuse.

'DO WHAT YOU WANT'

The rules governing the secret operation were "grab whom you must. Do what you want," the unidentified former intelligence official told the New Yorker.

Rumsfeld left the details of the interrogations to Cambone, the article quoted a Pentagon consultant as saying.

"This is Cambone's deal, but Rumsfeld and Myers approved the program," said the Pentagon consultant in the article.

U.S. officials have admitted the abuse may have violated the Geneva Convention, which governs treatment of prisoners of war.

The New Yorker said the CIA, which approved using high-pressure interrogation tactics against senior al Qaeda leaders after the 2001 attacks, balked at extending them to Iraq and refused to participate

After initiating the secret techniques, the U.S. military began learning useful intelligence about the insurgency, the former intelligence official was quoted as saying.

Read about Rumsfelds P2OG group:


www.chemtrailcentral.com/ubb/Forum6/HTML/001021.html

"In the Los Angeles Times, the military analyst William Arkin describes a secret army set up by Donald Rumsfeld, similar to those run by Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger and which Congress outlawed. This "super-intelligence support activity" will bring together the "CIA and military covert action, information warfare, and deception". According to a classified document prepared for Rumsfeld, the new organisation, known by its Orwellian euphemism as the Proactive Pre-emptive Operations Group, or P2OG, WILL PROVOKE TERRORIST ATTACKS which would then require "counter-attack" by the United States on countries "harbouring the terrorists". "In other words, innocent people will be killed by the United States. This is reminiscent of Operation Northwoods, the plan put to President Kennedy by his military chiefs for a phoney terrorist campaign - complete with bombings, hijackings, plane crashes and dead Americans - as justification for an invasion of Cuba. Kennedy rejected it. He was assassinated a few months later. Now Rumsfeld has resurrected Northwoods, but with resources undreamt of in 1963 and with no global rival to invite caution.

Oh, I think Rumpsmell should stay in power! He and Dirty Dick must have sat around with Kissinger, burning holes in the carpet after they drank too much Scotch!

I have just conducted a thorough frame by frame analysis of the Nick Berg footage. I've paid particular attention to the editing.

I've included here a breakdown, shot by shot. I've tried to remain totally objective thoughout, and limit my analysis to the evidence we can see, and others can hopefully corroborate. My apologies for the messy layout.


For the sake of this discussion, I'll name the captors from 1 to 5

John Doe1
John Doe2
John Doe3 (reading the script)
John Doe4
John Doe5

==============================

Video Breakdown
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shot A video time 13:26:24 to 13:26:27 synced audio
Nick sitting in a chair giving his details




-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shot B video time 02:18:33 to 02:18:43 synced audio
Nick sitting in chair, giving his details, different angle


This is NOT a second angle on the first shot. Nick has clearly moved in between these two shots, as illustrated by the change in his voice tone while reciting his details, and the change in the pattern of folds and clothing position under his harms and on his chest. This clearly shows a careful edit has been made, and we cannot know how long apart these two shots were taken. It also shows that the editor as at least some basic editing skills.

we also hear a door squeek at 2:18:41

we see the reflection of a horizontal light in the top left of screen.

questions :-
Why did they shoot the scene twice?
Was nicks "performance" not up to scratch?
Why did they go to such lengths to make it look like it was shot at the same time?
Did they get him to replicate his hand position is that just coincidence?



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shot C video time 02:40:33 to 02:44:37 (audio 5-10 seconds ahead (see below))

Nick is definitely alive and conscious though-out this section. He occasionally shrugs, as if he is aware of an impending issue regarding his neck. He sits tense for a moment, then forces has shoulders back down. He does remain very still.

In this shot, the audio is 5-6 seconds in front of the picture. The fact the this audio is out of sync while the first section is IN sync show that the slipped audio is part of the original master, and not due to later encoding/decoding issues of the whole video.

How far out of sync? The person reading the speech coughs audibly at video time 02:42:33. We see him raise his hand at 2:42:38. So the audio appears to be 5 seconds ahead of the picture..

however...
We hear a thump, which sounds like Nick hitting the ground, at 02:44:02, and then we see him hit the ground at 02:44:11. thats 10 seconds ahead, without any visible cut in the video. Therefore an audio edit has taken place, with five seconds of audio removed sometime before the thump.

Also The screaming also doesn't start unit a couple of seconds after the thump. Visually this shot also lasts about 2 seconds after nick hits the ground. As he hits the ground the JohnDoe3 raises his knife, but we do not see him actually cutting with it. We also don't see any panic reaction from him or hear a noise, even taking into account any slippage of the audio.


Some subjective observations.
JohnDoe2 is starting straight at camera. 4 and 5 though look nervous, and don't know what to do with their hands.
JohnDoe4 in particular seems to nervously fiddle with his mask, often just after JohnDoe3 has shuffled his papers, I've had trouble following these paper moves, but they don't seem to coincided with the speech. None of them show the same body languages as other Iraqi kidnappers we've seen?


Questions:
Why leave the audio out of sync when the editor is clearly perfectly competent?
What was the 5 seconds of audio they removed?
Why did the cameraman cut away from this shot just before Nick is actually attacked?
Why didn't Nick react or even make a noise has he was thrown to the ground?



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shot D video time 13:45:47 to 13:45:52 inconclusive audio

We now zoom in very close. the video is shaky and blurred. It is impossible to tell if nick is alive or dead at this point.

Between shots D and E, we seem to get a period of accelerated time, where the video clock jumps forward to 13:45:59,. However we also see an intermediate frame or two, giving as a glimpse of 13:45:57. this appears to be intended to give continuity while removing around 3 seconds.

questions:

Why zoom in like that? is that the best footage they had (given they were supposed to have 2 cameras)?
Why are we having seconds edited out, and yet returning to the same shot?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shot E video time 13:45:59 to 13:46:32

There is a slight jump cut with about half a second missing at 13:46:27, as shown by the video clock and the jump in JohnDoe3's arm position. At the end of this shot we JohnDoe3 lift the knife away slightly and lay the head down, as if he's given up trying to get it off.

Questions:
Why the edit?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shot F 13:47:46 13:47:52

Having just jumped about 80 seconds of video time, the head is removed from the body and raised in the air. However it isn't JohnDoe3 who is hold the head and knife, it's JohnDoe2 ! MINUS HIS BOMB VEST!!! (unless it's JohnDoe3 and he's switched masks!!!)

Questions

Why has JohnDoe2 removed his bomb vest?!!!!
Why is he now the the one to hold up the head?
Where as JohnDoe3 gone?
Why would JohnDoe3, as a terrorist leader, humiliate himself in front of thew others by appearing incapable of removing the head?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shot G 2:46:18 to 2:46:22

Back to the other camera/different time. another shot of the head being held up.

This appears to have been shot at the same time as Shot F, but for reasons discussed earlier, we can't be sure of this.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shot H 13:48:29 to 13:48:49 lots of missed frames here, about 5-10 seconds worth.
END

=======================================

Other observations.

it's widely assumed that two cameras were used, because of the difference in the video clocks.

If this is the case, both were set up exactly the same in terms of white point and aperture. Both exhibit the same edge of frame artifacts (dark pixels where the images doesn't make it to the end of the frame) Both may also be of the same model given the similarity of time clocks and image.

The two clocks are roughly 11 hours and 8 minutes apart at the start of the film. The exact difference is impossible to judge since shots A and B were NOT shot at the same moment in time. (see above)

At the end, they are roughly 11 hours and 2 minutes apart, although again it is hard to tell.

the camera with timings around 2:40 appears to be on a tripod at all times.

It is impossible to tell if there were two cameras or not. It seems likely, but we cannot be conclusive one way or the other.

--------------------------------------------------

Ill leave it there for now. there is much more analysis to be done, an I don't want to get into guessing at potential scenarios until all the objective evidence is in..

In particular I'd like to know about the video tears across the bottom of the screen. Is this a digital or analog artifact? What was the likely signal path, from camera to web? The blurred images suggest an analogue stage. However the skip time edits suggest digital, at least at the editing process.

Also can anyone identify the make of the camera? Do the time clocks look familiar? Things like this do differ from cam to cam, and the more we know the better.
