"Jihadi John" Hit By US Drone Strike; "We're 99% Sure We Got Him," Pentagon Says
Ever since Russia began flying combat missions from Latakia there’s been enormous pressure on Washington to prove that the US is serious about fighting terror and more specifically, about fighting ISIS.
The optics around Moscow’s strikes have been a veritable nightmare for the US. The steady barrage of videos released by the Russian Defense Ministry seem to depict a successful air campaign (although it’s impossible to assess exactly what the clips show) and one that’s done far more damage in the space of 45 days than the US campaign has done in the space of 13 months. One problem of course is that Russia has a ground force in the Iranians and Hezbollah and the cooperation between air and ground seems to be far more robust than what Washington has been able to accomplish with Kurds.
So, in a last ditch effort to avoid complete humiliation, The Pentagon first prepared the US public for the deployment of spec ops (by releasing helmet cam footage of an ISIS prison raid) and then tried to float the idea of sending Apache gunships to Baghdad. When Baghdad rejected that strategy, The White House said it would send 50 spec ops to Syria and now, in conjunction with the Kurds, the US is attempting to take back the Northern Iraqi town of Sinjar which ISIS captured more than a year ago before terrorizing the local Yazidi population. This operation has received an enormous amount of Western media coverage over the past several days.
Well now, in the latest effort by Washington to prove to an increasingly skeptical world that the US can (or is willing) to bring something to the fight, the US says it has probably killed “Jihadi John,” the ISIS member and Kuwaiti-born Brit who became famous after appearing a number of videos depicting the beheading of Westerners.

Here’s BBC:
US forces have carried out an air strike targeting the Islamic State group militant "Jihadi John", with a "high degree of certainty" he was hit.
PM David Cameron said targeting Mohammed Emwazi was "the right thing to do".
It is believed there was one other person in the vehicle targeted in the attack near Raqqa, in Syria.
Speaking outside Downing Street, Mr Cameron said it had not yet been confirmed whether the strike had been successful.
But if it had been, "it will be a strike at the heart of Isil [Islamic State] and it will demonstrate to those that would do
Britain, our people and allies harm we have a long reach, we have unwavering determination and we never forget about our citizens".
He described Emwazi as an "ongoing and serious threat" to civilians around the world, particularly in Syria and the UK.
"He was Isil's lead executioner and let us not forget he killed many, many Muslims too, and he was intent on murdering many more people.
"So this was an act of self-defence."
The prime minister added that his thoughts were with the families of those "who were so brutally murdered".
A senior US military source says the strike involved two MQ9 Reaper drones and took place at 20:50 GMT on Thursday.
Another US senior military source said there was a "high degree of certainty" Emwazi had been killed.
And here’s Fox:
The Pentagon said late Thursday it had launched an airstrike in Syria targeting "Jihadi John", a British national seen in videos depicting the beheading of hostages held by ISIS.
Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook confirmed that the airstrike in Raqqa was directed at the notorious militant, also known as Mohamed Emwazi. It was not immediately clear whether Emwazi died in the airstrike, but a senior U.S. military official told Fox News, "we are 99 percent sure we got him." The Pentagon was monitoring the aftermath of the strike before making a definitive announcement.
A senior U.S. defense official told Fox News that a drone was used in the airstrike. According to a senior military source, the drone had been tracking Emwazi for most of the day Thursday while he met with other people. The source said the strike took place shortly after Emwazi came out of a building in Raqqa, when he was "ID'd and engaged."
Sky News, citing sources inside Raqqa, reported that Emwazi was badly hurt in the air strike but still alive when he was brought to the hospital there. Later, however, the same sources said the hospital was sealed off to the public. Locals say the hospital is usually closed when an ISIS figure is killed, which allows the group to go on social media and claim he is still alive.
We suppose Emwazi didn't end up leaving the group due to concerns that "jealous" militants would kill him (see here) after all.
So we'll await confirmation here and indeed if Emwazi did make it to the hospital we may never get it.
At this point, with everything we know about the support Washington's regional allies have provided to Sunni militants like Emwazi, it's difficult to determine how to assess these types of stories. That is, when you foment discord on the way to creating civil war (and again, you don't have to believe the US created ISIS to believe that the US did indeed participate in stirring up the sectarian hornet's nest and that Washington's "friends" in Riyadh and Doha not to mention Ankara probably did assist Islamic State in one form or another), groups like ISIS invariably emerge, so when you go back and you kill them, you're just putting down the Frankenstein you helped to create. Does Wasington deserve a pat on the back for that? We don't know.
But what we do know is that targeting a single high profile ISIS member to grab a headline or two isn't going to cut it. Not while Russia and Iran are staging assaults on major Syrian cities.
Finally, it's worth noting that based on The Intercept's "drone papers", which reveal that nearly 90% of people killed in strikes are not the intended target, the above, if verified, would represent a small miracle for the US drone program - we wonder how much "collateral damage" there might have been.

what this means is that MI5 and CIA have removed/terminated their agent
We have been lied to about ISIS’ power for a long time and the Kurds’ taking back Sinjar is just another evidence of the scam – they just walked into the empty town!
Killing “Jihadi John” in Raqqa is another one. Someone (an American soldier with American equipment) should’ve been there “painting the target” in the middle of ISIS’ capital!
Here’s another lie – the bombing of the Russian plane in Egypt…
There’s only one “guilty party” to the A321 tragedy and it ain’t no ISIS.
Those morons’ Modus Operandi never strays away from strap-on dildo-bombs or mobility scooters full of explosives, with allah-yodeling before every Big Bada-Boom.
The plane was blown up by Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Period!
I don’t think Putin forgave and forgot Bandar Bush’s threats about the Sochi Olympic Games.
These camel-fuckers are gonna get bombed back into the 7-th Century. A few dozen of precision bombs or missiles will wipe out the oil and gas infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and Qatar respectively, and without those the Kingdoms’ days are over.
Casus belli, bitchez!
Tragicomically, neither we, the US, nor Europe will do anything about the strike. Well, maybe a few condemning tweets by Lithuania, Ukraine, or a penguin colony in Antarctica? ;-)
Looney
P.S. Skim through the report below, it shows how tightly packed and indefensible the Saudi oil facilities are.

Those Johnny Jihad action figure dolls are going to soar in value now. Probably higher then the Al Sharpton protest dolls.
Put him in the Star Wars toy section and make him one of the bad guys and he will sell. Hasbro/Disney are going to make the only fortune this Christmas.
he'll be buried at sea in 7 years
Or he will be re generated in Rita Katz's studio, as version 2.0, bigger, badder and head choppier.
it's this easy https://youtu.be/EoAHO4_jPzQ?t=3m45s
They better employ the Cheney Doctrine. If there's a 1% chance he's alive.....
First the 'cameraman' and then maybe the 'actor'. It's bad time for ISIS 'execution film crews'. The Syrians reported the death of the supposed execution film cameraman during the liberation of Kuyweires airfield.
"In Syria, with the release of Kuyweires airfield, government forces destroyed Hamdouch Mohammad, who became famous by filming their executions"
"According to data made available by ISIS, Hamdouch Mohammed was originally from Morocco. In 2014 he went to Syria to help not just 'the Caliphate' and the Sheikh Ibrahim Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (leader of ISIS)"

Since ISIS (also known as Al Qaeda Version 2.0 since it the brand no longer scares anyone) is entirely about scaring stupid American Zombie Sheep into acquiesing to the US Deep Police State, and since the main component for instilling the "ISIS fear" into the Sheep is via Rita Katz videos, it make sense that in order for the US Deep State to seem to be doing something is to attack those same media videos. By "eliminating" Jihadi John, the US acts against those bad ole ISIS videos. Its like the whole scene is playing out in a virtual reality game which takes place in Rita Katz' studio.
Its all show business scripted in Hollywood... and TelAviv.
"We're 99% Sure We Got Him," Pentagon Says

Amazing this happens on a Friday. The "press" will be talking about this all weekend.
pods
"Amazing" ;-)
This actually feels alot like the Rumsfeld doctrine. "We have known knowns, known unknowns, unknown knowns, and unknown unknowns"
One thing we do know is that on 9/11, the largest loss of life on american soil since pearl harbor, when the pentagon itself was attacked, the 69 year old SECDEF was out on the lawn pushing streachers around. High quality photos are in MSM magazines and history books.
Meanwhile, the top brass and aides were doing a benny hill montage in the halls of US military might processing the "known unknown" that SECDEF was not in any command center to issue orders on behalf of a nation at war.
They made him dissapear.
Terorists are like rock stars- are they ever really dead? Osama, Elvis, Jim Morrison, Jihadi John... who really knows?
Translation: we knocked off a group of ragheads, mostly women and children, and back at the press office we ennobled our action by declaring that we also murdered 'a really bad man'.
Its like this is the field: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S06nIz4scvI
And on the way back from the strike mission: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmILOL55xP0

We want details, the US wants details, give us details.
he was wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates hat - enuf said. He deserves to be droned.
He got a new assignment and a raise.
Dead men tell no tales.
Obviously, that particular boogeyman was no longer of use and needed to be "eliminated"...at least as far as words and deeds go.
They have a high degree of certainty that they hit something. Bad day for weddings.
So they got the guy who plays the ISIS boogie man on teevee. On teevee. Gonna sleep like a baby tonight!
I read some gossip the Mattel may start selling MizzU Action figure protest student dolland the Raging Professor Doll. Should be very populr.
Recycled Carrot Top dolls.
Dipped in shit to give it the right color and smell.
Back as early as 2013; Obama was talking about Al-Ciada as the enemy and now they are moderate "terrorists"; whatever Obummer. Keep lying, I guess they have the teleprompter to keep up with the lies and damn lies.
Now Russia is number 1, presumably because it is effectively destroying the US proxy army known as ISIS/ISIL/Daesh/whatever.
Cause NSA lost the signal at the time of attack...............so it must be so
He now runs a kebab shop outside Hamburg as a Syrian 'migrant'.
No, the CIA/MI6 sacrified their tool to generate "good" headlines and eliminate someone who could have talked about who was really running the show.

heheheh
The EU will be forced to start paying Russia a fair price for her oil. And that will be the end of the EU as we know it, because they won't be able to do that and keep Frankfurt bankers in usury and Muslims in benefits.
I wouldn't believe anyone in the pentagon or this administration if they said water was wet. The lies we are being told on a daily basis are astounding. I hope the veil is lifted for the general public before all is lost.

That is the mission of the 50 troops.
Shut their agent up before they reveal the master behind.
They made a mistake with Snowden. Can't afford further mistake.
It's hard to tell from here whether this is a case of "Dead men don't talk" or "Mission accomplished/aborted - time to go back to your comfy job in the city John"
I wonder which is it?
I lean towards the former if only because it makes sense to really wrap up any loose ends rather than leave them there to embarrass you later!
But who would really know.
The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming. Kill him, shut him up.

How they likely imagined it going down in Fairfax, VA. They were probably super bummed when some fuddy duddy made the decision to use a drone.
Yeah, stabbed in the back by his own employers , let this be a lesson to anyone who signs up for psy-ops or controlled opposition or whatever for CIA, MI5/6, Mossad,NSA,FBI etc etc
Jihadi John out. Next up: Jihadi Jane.

"Hey, we need some muscle over here"
The other Pirates fans are gonna be pissed.
AND he was employed.
Watch the skies, people, watch the skies.
The good news is at least the cia didn't put a confederate flag on his cap. The Pirates one is ridiculous enough. I bet he's wearing Nikes also.
Looks like they might've photoshopped a Rennie Stennett baseball card.

The just didn't want Putin killing another agent.
Capturing..
Hopefully he was in an office at Langley when they hit him.
Yes. HR came in and told him that he can make an early, tax-free withdrawal from his 401k, move to Simi Valley, and enjoy the good life.
They 'know' they got him because his passport survived the fireball and was found at the scene.
Someone needs to tell John McCain that the studio is closed today.
To be buried at sea.
US apparently carried out 6700 airstrikes against ISIS in the last year or so with no effect while Russia degraded ISIS in just 500 airstrikes. So the US needed some publicity to show it is attacking ISIS
ISIS was founded and funded by the US and its allies like Saudi Arabia

ISIS sells crude oil to Turkey and Israel to raise money. Of course, the US is aware of that and can easily stop these sales if it wanted to.
The so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria(ISIS) began selling Iraqi crude oil extracted from oil fields which its seized in recent months and exporting it through the Kurdish region to Turkish refineries and from Turkey's Mediterranean port of Ceyhan ultimately to Israel.

JustObserving - WSWS.org and GW blog? Really? One in every crowd....
Wow talk about inflation.
Vietnam war costs 175 billion, total number of NVA/VC killed 250 million. Cost per kill ~$700.
Costs to operate an armed Global Hawk $30k per hour. Lets assume it took 'em a couple hours to get Jihad John. Cost per kill ~$120k.
Good money in war.
Here is what I don't get. First, I'm an old (53) guy. Why spend $100's of billions on new fighter planes, that require a pilot, who cannot physically endure what the hardware is capable of?
With all the kids growing up playing games, and remote control and camera tech so good, why even the need for an on board pilot?
I'm not making an argument for more weapons of war. Or drones, that will one day be turned inward. Or, maybe I am. WTF.
If it is programmable, it is hackable. Drones can be turned against those who (mis) use them. This is what makes the NSA so dangerous; it's not that they have your info, it's who else has your info now, too.
There is no such thing as secure data. When robots man the armed forces, who will resist when they are turned? Or is that the point?
Something wrong with this story. They followed him all day. Why? Identify target pull trigger so what took all day. We are to assume we just always knew where he was since we were more than happy to follow him around all day with the chance we could have lost him, by waiting ALL DAY long. Something just doesn'tt smell right with this story.
Why follow ALL DAY? Are you really that dumb that you have to ask?
The base assumption here is mission success. What's the cost per wedding party?
Little known fact: William Kristol has a sideline coming up with these stupid nicknames. Does anyone remember Chemical Ali? That was Bill's favorite.
Heck yes, and Dr. Germ. Sometimes I miss those halcyon days, before the neocons wore out their own narrative of the Straussian noble lie.
This is insignificant in the big picture. Of course the opposite of Russia, but what the west is great at today, propaganda and drama.
THUNDERCHIEF
how true.
So long as the US continues to destroy secular governments/nations (Ghadaffi, Saddam, Assad, Yanukovich) in alliance with wahabbist despots and other bigoted extremists,
all in the design to either gain control over resources or deny use to others ...
and so long as jingoist US politicians, death merchants, and corrupt financial tycoons
hold sway over government,
there is no end in sight to the imperialistic and deceitful so-called "war on terror".
With this particular dirtbag, I would have enjoyed his head on a pike.
Yeah right whatever, and how many times was Bin Ladin killed again? The propaganda must flow.
Edit: I just remembered that Putin was specifically looking to get Jihad John. How convinient it is that the CIA "got him" before Putin had the chance:
Russia has made capturing Jihadi John a priority because the high profile ISIS executioner would be a huge propaganda coup, say US officials
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3278907/Russia-capturing-Jihadi-...
Some time ago, the Brits sent in 6 SAS men disguised as ISIS, supposedly to attack ISIS. Phooey. That size of team may make for a good spotting team for airstrikes, but US airstrikes seem to have mainly targetted Syrian government fores of civilian infrastructure. The other use for such a team is to extract MI6 agents, as was done in Libya and Iraq. So get the man out, then kill last known associates leaving no trail? Two Reapers seems overkill for just one man.
But, but, but, that pesky one precent.
Always leave a way out.
I guess the Pirates will have to sign a new pitcher.

I heard a proferssorship "Jihadism/beheading 101" but i could be wrong.
Beheading? What? JJ didn't do any beheading, have you watched the Katz videos?
Another successful test for US weaponry on live targets!!!
Would like to see some live US drone testing on China.
This is probably as genuine as the arterial bloodless UTube beheadings. For once Jim Willie is probably right.
Don't hold your breath for proof, they are going to dump what is left of his body in the Ocean.
And all that's left after the clouds of smoke clear ... are government cog claims of self greatness. We should all kneel down now and kiss the ground that we have such great war mogers who creat enemies and then o destroy them for us.
I feel safe. You feel safe?
Your avatar image, it a photoshop of Lindsey Graham with cheeks of John McCain?
"[...] the US says it has probably killed “Jihadi John,” the ISIS member and Kuwaiti-born Brit who became famous after appearing a number of videos depicting the beheading of Westerners."
Translation: Jihadi John can now quietly return to Britain with a new name/new ID issued by the British.gov to save himself from assassination by jealous ISIS comrades in the knowledge he is officially "dead" under the name Mohamed Emwazi.
He has served his purpose. It's good to know that MI-6 look after their own ...
"...videos depicting the beheading of Westerners."
That kinda' says it all right there, doesn't it?
Yep: "fake ISIS beheading video caught on tape"
When you have programs designed by the CIA to use religion coming from an extreme sect in Saudi Arabia you are dealing with "mind-opium".Even schools to brainwash children in religion from the time that they are young so that you have a constant stream of religious recruits.Combine it with military training and lack of proper education in the liberal arts and sciences and you produce terrorists.You get a beheading nation like Saudi Arabia that hates other muslims to join you in trying to set up your dictatorships.That's what it's all about,create constant and endless war and instability around the globe so there's never peace.The CIA does this in order to keep a military-industrial complex employed because Washington politicians have all this industry in their backyards.It'll all come crashing down in debt that can't be financed any longer at zero interest rate policies because the tax base is dwindling and social benefits from endless NeoCon wars depletes government revenue.The result is places like Detroit and about 30 other dumps that are almost dead broke from selling out to communists from Red China to finance war.
Yawn......
It means exactly the same thing as a flag flying at half mast in front of the post office - "Help Wanted". I wonder what the background is, special ops or Summer Stock?
They forgot to mention that he was the "Number Two" leader of ISIS:

Another story of fantom from Obama and his band of dong!
Strange. How he knew they were going to get him soon. Must have known he was now a liability.
So they didn't think they could get AWSY with rolling out Osama bin Laden again ??
Did the (ROTFLMAO) "Pentagone" bomb the soundstage that he and his dance troupe were working on? Did they destroy the green screen? Waste of a perfectly good green screen that could be used for other fake propaganda bits.
This is almost as funny as the fake "take-out" of Osama bin Laden.
The US government is doing its part for the economy by hiring young and community actors to create false flag events and fake terrorism ... and giving tons of advertising dollars to the NFL, MLB, NBA etc. so that they can run their propaganda military ceremonies at sporting events.
I wonder how many veterans realize that everything they believe in, about themselves and the honor and righteousness of the US militaries is a fabrication created to USE THEM for very bad purposes.
I wonder how many people in the military and other government agencies realize how they are being used as traitors to the American people and the human race. It does seem that there are some wayward people who just like the idea of being evil.
Enjoy it while it lasts.

Another fictional character killed by a fictional strike. The Zionist West is getting more and more pathetic each day.
There is no military value in this strike; and dubious psychological value. It is pure theater.
Just an excuse to disband the ISIS program without admitting it was all made up. They left a 1% doubt so they could keep an ember of the war on terror alive until it needs to be rekindled. reserving the right to continue this bullshit.
Double cross bitchez!!!
Will they bury his body at sea?
No, evidently they are not sure they got him, but they are sure he has been vaporized...get it?

I am 99% certain the Pentagon is lying.
Jihadi John will be next seen on America's Got Talent, or maybe, more appropriately, "Survivor."
Jihadi John?
Who makes this sh!t up? It's getting so simpleminded to the point of being embarrassing. How does the media report this stuff with a straight face? "We're 99 percent sure we got him". Sheesh.
So his acting contract was up and they either have him locked up someowhere or killed him or they gave him a nice retirement package and he's on some island right now probably laughing at how stupid human beings are. Gotcha.
Is there any way to monetize Jihad John for Black Friday?

There is no way a MIC bullet costs $.25, not with all the middlemen in the way wanting their piece. $2.50 or even £25 is more likely.
Public relations stunt. His fate was sealed the moment Russia started bombing in Syria.
Yawn,
this is as real as Bin Laden getting taken out by the US, it's all just optics, and just in time for the weekend crowd.
Does anyone actually take these guys serious anymore?
If not for the gun / drug running spooks and that useless money pit pentagram there wouldn't be any Jihidi John's,,, real, fake or otherwise.
They could of done this a couple of years ago. Wonder why not? Better they got him alive so they could of anally fed him for a few months and then he could of had an accident.
Even better, capture him alive, then interrogate him properly so he can tell his story and reveal how he was recruited, how the finance worked, where the films were made, how many takes it took on average to get it just right, etc, etc. ...... Ah, now I understand.
The guy is a total irrelevance, any moron can cut someone with a knife, all he did was do it on camera. His possible demise makes about as much difference to my life as a bunch of millionaires kicking a bag of wind between some sticks.
As for being British, bollocks, everyone who steps on British soil seems to get given nationality, but it is strange how I (being white) could never be described as Saudi or Pakistani.
fantastic...now we can bring home the troops
The "troops" are training these guys
Yeah we're pretty sure we got him.......he was at a wedding or maybe visiting an MSF hospital.......we know we got someone who looked like he was male and young

ISIS Beheading Video Caught Filming In Studio!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zkVfDHmMWA
Amazing. If this is a genuine fake as it were, it ought to be all over MSM everywhere.
Its a fake of a fake.
Hard to believe dunderheads are still pumping this shit. It's been debunked a long time ago...
Debunked by who?? The CIA??
No.
But this is where the video originally came from. NOTICE that it came from a .RU web address (.ru = Russia) WHY or HOW would a supposed video of a staged beheading blamed on the CIA come from Russia? I think you know damned well why...
Debunked here.
https://www.metabunk.org/debunked-cyberberkut-video-supposedly-showing-s...
I think that debunking is a pile of rubbish since it assumes the video is of a specific incident. But that is not stated by the video which you call fake.
Point is it may just be a rehearsal or summat like that.
FWIW: one of the published videos of Jihadi John with a background of desert and some rocks actually had the background moving about during the video indicating that it was a false background overlayed onto the video.
I concluded some while back that these videos are being carried out in some sort of studio or whatever. And recall that in not one of them do we actually see anybody's throat being cut.
Bombs are expensive, they could have just fired him.
