ISIS Beheads Captured American Journalist, Threatens To Kill Another

Tyler Durden's picture




 

An American journalist, James Foley who was previously held captive by pro-Gaddafi forces for six weeks in Libya, was captured again in 2012 in Syria by - at the time 'unidentified' gunmen - which we now know was ISIS. James Foley - a freelance reporter from Boston - was kidnapped Thanksgiving Day 2012. We now know the sad ending of this young man's life. In the following shocking clip just released from ISIS, Foley explains - at the point of a blade - "I call on my friends, family members and loved ones to rise up against my real killers, the U.S. government" - and is then gruesomely beheaded. In the last few minutes, the captor shows another poor soul.

James Foley in 2012

 

And the gruesome clip (fwd to 2:00 for Foley's speech) - a warning - at the end, this clip is not for the faint of heart.

 

Foley's monologue, as delivered under duress:

I call on my friends, family, and loved ones to rise up against my real killers, the US government. For what will happen to me is only a result of their complacency and criminality.

 

My message to my beloved parents, save me some dignity, and don't accept some meagre compensation, for my death, from the same people who effectively hit the last nail in my coffin with their recent aerial campaign in Iraq.

 

I call on my brother John, who is a member of the US air force. Think about what you are doing, think about the lives you destroy, including those of your own family. I call on you John, think about who made the decision to bomb Iraq recently and kill those people, whoever they may have been. Think John, who did they really kill? And did they think about me, you, our family when they made that decision?

 

I died that day John, when your colleagues dropped that bomb on those people they signed my death certificate. I wish I had more time. I wish I could have the hope of freedom and seeing my family once again. But that ship has sailed. I guess all in all I wish I wasn't American.

And at the very end, ISIS threatens to kill another journalist, Steven Sotloff

Even if it happens it is nothing a little ebola can't cure.

Spot on dog-pilot.

It's good to see that I am not the only one who refused to put my head in the sand of conspiracy theories.

Sure, they are fun, but they are for the lazy.

You all want to know what the Ace up our Sleeve is? 

Dirty Bomb in Mecha. Just sayin'.

Tell me.  Would Allah ever allow the holiest site on the planet to become a radioactive no-man's land?

So much can be solved with radioactive waste that it surprises me that the 2014 "Times Man of the Year" is not a spent nuclear fuel rod.

Fuckushima waste now has a destination other than the pacific ocean!  All that crap has a useful global purpose now.  Yucca Mountain?  Na.  Air drop the shit over that whole region called Saudi Arabia.

Awesome to read comments from America's own Christian Taliban to counter Islam's ISIS.  Religion is clearly the winner and cure.

Religion is the enemy of us all.

You mean the kind that stiff you on the change when you check in the morning?

"Those bastards are no good neither."

The number of babies murdered in the US in the name of the "woman's choice to decide" religion dwarfs the number killed in the US Civll War.

Staged, lame, photoshopped junk. I have hundreds of beheading videos and none of them look or sound anything like this, except one: a confirmed fake.

Please note the pixels around the "stump" of his "neck" and the "detached" "head."

Seriously, what happened to the CIA? Did they let their Creative Cloud membership lapse?

1. Amerika disenfranchises oil rich Iraq.

2. The Muslim Kenyan pulls out of Iraq.

3. Major Oil companies move into northern Iraq.

4. Terrorist wannabees ISIS move in northern Iraq.

5. The Muslim Keyan fuels up the bombers and attacks ISIS in northern Iraq a few days after they showed up.

6. Staged ISIS beheading to a two year 'prisoner' we never heard of one week later.

7. The Mulsim Kenyan sends boots on the ground & orders more 'humanitarian' air stirkes to defend Amerika against the evil Muslim threat.

What have I missed?

You missed the fact that America is not all.

There are other shittier powers in the world like China and Islam.

Learn it, America is not all, nor is it in power anymore.

AAbsolutely false:

I call on my friends, family, and loved ones to rise up against my real killers, the US government. 

 

The Tel Aviv Zionists and their 5-th column in US rae to be blamed. US Gov has no say in the Middle East.

Look at that fool Kerry. My comprehension tells me, that such a weak dumb nobody was installed to be Sec of State by purpose to manipulate him from behind.
