I've become an arm chair expert on things like this. I took a keen interest way back when they first started doing it but it is nothing new.
However ISIS/IS has members who understand the impact of media in the west. They know we would never show it in all its detail but we would show parts of it. That is what they want.
In Mexico they had a policy to show the full extent of the butchering going on by the cartels but recently they have toned it down a lot to protect the public and not give these guys free air time.
With this video there are some things that must be recognised.
1: Yes, it is very real. The fact that there are people calling "fake" because they didn't see it all is amusing.
The point of the video was not to show him getting murdered but showing how hopeless he was and how hopeless the US will be at eliminating them.
2: The verbal communication in the video is the message, not the beheading itself. The guys behind this are from the western hemisphere 100% and were behind a few recent videos where they showed ISIS executing soldiers and civilians who worked with the US military.
They showed all of that. But they did not show the beheading of one commander who fought back. Why?
Because they know we're not fussed over people dying to bullets but a knife to the neck? That strikes people has something slow and painful which it is most often as they dont always use a sharp knife. Ask yourself, would you rather die with a cut throat or a hail of bullets?
This is Jihad propaganda for the western hemisphere. Something horrific but can be digested.
I am not really surprised about this however. This guy was stupid enough to go to Syria of all places and ended up being captured. This is his fate.
In my old line of work I've seen people die, working in health care for 8 years it's unavoidable. People do strange things when they die.
1. His light piece of clothing.
He was only wearing the orange jumper since you can see a little sweat spot is on his chest (not enough in my view due to the sweat and hear combo, but that's another thing to its self), so where is team wet spot for his excrements?
You release bile/feces/urine when your dead as your muscles give out. He may of been fasted but something should of come out. He should have a wet spot, even small in his lower region.
2. No swelling of his legs.
He was kneeling when he was beheaded. Blood would of been forced up from that last pumps but then immediately flushed down. His legs should be appearing stressed and swollen from the expansion of blood rushing down due to simple gravity.
3. The lack of blood
The neck has the most aggressive blood pathways with a strait line to the heart. The last few involuntary pumps of the heart would of gushed out blood like a oil well. Look at the still photo and look at the lack of blood. There should be a good liter/quart of blood at least.
If you have seen other beheading videos (live leak is full of them) the blood mess is to obvious to ignore. Since you can't get a easy an clean cut the blood mess is very extreme.
Those are just the physical anomalies of the video. You can critique the digital aspects such as:
Why was it faded to black during the cut?
Why a still photo at the end instead of moving video?
Why would jihads care so much to craft such a "narrative"?
Does anybody forget Gadaffi when the same rugged Jihads got a hold of him? They weren't supposed to kill him (Gaddafi was on his way to meet Hillary Clinton to discuss a partition plan) but the didn't listen and killed him off and sodomized him with a riffle and stomped on him.
I laugh that these Jihads have so much craft as thought. All for what or the US and UK to come at them with a air attack and bomb them all to hell?
The video does not match the rugged ISIS mantra. It is too polished and crafted.
