Title: Latest Bin Laden Video Is a Forgery Post by: Shammu on September 11, 2007, 08:51:34 AM Latest Bin Laden Video Is a Forgery: All References to Current Events Are Made During Video Freeze
by George Maschke Sun Sep 9th, 2007 at 06:10:31 AM EST Osama Bin Laden's widely publicized video address to the American people has a peculiarity that casts serious doubt on its authenticity: the video freezes at about 1 minute and 36 58 seconds, and motion only resumes again at 12:30. The video then freezes again at 14:02 remains frozen until the end. All references to current events, such as the 62nd anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing of Japan, and Sarkozy and Brown being the leaders of France and the UK, respectively, occur when the video is frozen! The words spoken when the video is in motion contain no references to contemporary events and could have been (and likely were) made before the U.S. invasion of Iraq. The audio track does appear to be in the voice of a single speaker. What I suspect was done is that an older, unreleased video was dubbed over for this release, with the video frozen when the audio track departed from that of the original video.

You'd think the shorter, blacker beard, and younger face would have been a clue.
The video came out that they seemed desperate, to rally the troops since our guys and gals in the military have put a hurting on the bad guys. If people would put down the NYT and turn off CNN and listen to the soldiers they'd learn that.

The beard is not only short and black it is curly not like anything that Bin Laden has ever been known to wear before. As stated elsewhere it is not uncommon for men in that region to die their hair when it benefits them in war propaganda. The U.S. government is currently examining this tape to check for it's validity. I really don't have doubts that it will be considered doctored in some manner but that remains to be seen.

The new video of Osama bin Laden released on Friday appears to be genuine, top CIA officials say. Israel Radio reported that Bin Laden's appearance in the video was his first in three years. The video was released ahead of the 6th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, and in it Bin Laden tells Americans they should convert to Islam if they want the war in Iraq to end, according to a transcript of the video made by ABC News. |
