The CIA has said it is indeed Zarqawi, but he appears to be reading his own speech from a paper. \r\n\r\nThe person holding the knife -- allegedly Zarqawi -- has a Black hood at the video's beginning, but there is an edit (the camera time signatures change) and the knifeholder is then wearing a WHITE hood (and no bulletproof vest). \r\n\r\nYou'll also find the following oddities in the heavily edited video, which was heavily edited, presumably in a lab or on a pc: \r\nWM-----|-----Video Clock-----|-----Screen Shot \r\n0:00 ---|--- nothing ---|-------Arabic letters \r\n0:05 ---|--- 13:26:24 ---|--- Nick Berg speaking \r\n0:09 ---|---- 2:18:33 ---|--- Nick Berg sitting \r\n0:20 ---|---- 2:40:33 ---|--- Speech in Arabic \r\n4:36 ---|---- 2:44:56 ---|--- Speaker pushes Berg over \r\n4:38 ---|--- 13:45:48 ---|--- Decapitation begins \r\n4:43 ---|--- 13:45:52 ---|--- Picture lost \r\n4:44 ---|--- 13:45:59 ---|--- Picture returns, decapitation continues \r\n\r\nSo, if we are to assume the timestamps of the two (?) cameras are accurate, this means Berg was beheaded at 13:47:49 (1:47) but at 2:44, nearly an hour later, he is sitting with his head intact. \r\n\r\nZarqawi has also been reported to have an artificial leg; this is definitely not apparent in the video. Nor is his Jordanian accent, according to experts. Also note the gold ring on the "sinister" (toilet-using) hand -- a definite no-no for muslims. \r\n\r\nThen there's US consulate Beth A. Payne's emails to Berg's family saying their son was in "US military custody" for 13 days: \r\nhttp:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/news\/world\/iraq\/2004-05-13-emails-text_x..htm \r\n\r\nApril 1, 1:26 a.m. (To Michael Berg, Berg's father) \r\nI have confirmed that your son, Nick, is being detained by the U.S. military in Mosul. He is safe. He was picked up approximately one week ago. We will try to obtain additional information regarding his detention and a contact person you can communicate with directly. \r\n\r\nApril 1, 5:23 a.m. (To Suzanne Berg, Berg's mother) \r\nI have been able to confirm that your son is being detained by the U.S. military. I am attempting to identify a person with the U.S. military or FBI here in Iraq who you can contact directly with your questions. \r\n\r\nAnd, according to CNN, Berg himself had contacted a friend -- Chilean reporter Hugo Infante -- saying he was in US custody: \r\nhttp:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2004\/WORLD\/meast\/05\/13\/berg.friends\/ \r\n\r\nThe US Administration denies this, saying he was in Mosul Iraqi police custody, BUT "...police chief Maj. Gen. Mohammed Khair al-Barhawi in Mosul insisted his department had never arrested Berg and said he had no knowledge of the case. ''The Iraqi police never arrested the slain American,'' al-Barhawi told reporters. ''Take it from me ... that such reports are baseless.'' \r\nhttp:\/\/www.signonsandiego.com\/news\/world\/iraq\/20040513-1057-iraq-berg.html \r\n\r\nAnd of course there are the American orange prisoner jumpsuit and white plastic chair and yellow walls which appear in the video -- exactly as they do at Abu Ghraib, the now-notorious site of the American torture of Iraqi POWs: \r\nhttp:\/\/marc.perkel.com\/images\/berg-chair.jpg \r\nhttp:\/\/marc.perkel.com\/images\/babe-chair.jpg \r\nhttp:\/\/marc.perkel.com\/images\/prison01.jpg \r\nhttp:\/\/marc.perkel.com\/images\/orangegarb.jpg \r\n\r\nNext, the hosting website was reported to be in Malaysia, but was discovered to actually located in London: \r\n\r\nSays Jackblood.com, which ran a trace: \r\n"...http:\/\/www.al-asnar.net and http:\/\/www.al-asnar.biz have apparently been disabled by 'authorities.' ...the publishers for these sites are located in London, England and Nurnberg, Denmark. \r\n\r\n"The addresses began to disappear from the internet listings as we reported this development on The Power Hour Radio Show. Apparently, "Big Brother"; had been listening to the show and didn't like the news at all. The location of the publishers for al-ansar.net appears to be at an Arab Press Building, which appears to be shared by different Arab newspublications. The name of the organization is the Arab Press House. Thebuilding is apparently the headquarters for news magazines such as, AlJamilla, Sayidaty, and Al Majallah among others. \r\n\r\nThe London address is the following: \r\nhttp:\/\/www.al-ansar.net \r\nArab Press House \r\nAbdel Rahman al-Rashed \r\n184 High Holborn, WCIV78P, London \r\ntel. 020 78318181 \r\n\r\nThe other address is located in Nurnberg, Denmark. It apparently belongs to a man named Omar AbuOmar. His email address is:alansar_alansar@hotmail.com . \r\n\r\nThe complete mailing address is the following: \r\nhttp:\/\/www.al-ansar.biz \r\nOmar AbuOmar \r\nNew Dream St. 33 \r\nNurnberg, Denmark, 42114 \r\nPhone: +965.15441211 \r\nEmail: alansar_alansar@hotmail.com \r\n\r\n...these same websites (http:\/\/www.al-asnar.net and http:\/\/www.al-asnar.biz) were the ones that posted the latest Bin Laden audio recording, weeks ago. Despite knowing the website addresses, and potentially the addresses of their respective publishers, the CIA, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security did not make any apparent efforts to monitor the websites for uploaded files or internet traffic. Therefore, no arrests were made." \r\n\r\nNext, the AK-47 carried by one of the men is a "Gilal" -- an Israeli weapon that improves on the AK- 47. Feyadeen and other insurgents almost universally use AK-47s. The man in the left of the video is standing in the American military stance known as "parade rest", and several of the apparent terrorists are wearing white tennis shoes ad bulletproof vests. \r\n\r\nAt frame 13:46:27, there is an edit and a person with a white ear and a green cap is seen entering from the right. Then the video is re-edited. \r\n\r\nMatt Drudge reports that "The statement in the video was signed off with Zarqawi's name and dated 11 May" , but Berg's body was reported found on May 10th -- the day before the video was apparently made! \r\n\r\nPay attention. This one is definitely a setup. \r\n\r\nMore details here: \r\nhttp:\/\/www.libertyforum.org\/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=news_international&Number=1471708&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=21%E2%88%82=1 \r\n\r\n","author":"The Berg video is CIA produced","parent_id":111032,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2004-05-24 14:49:51","modified":"2013-11-11 00:29:56","fileurl":""},{"id":111077,"heading":"Arab savagery doesn't have to be "faked"","article":"Apologists for 7th century savages and their murderous quasi-religion need not apply.\r\n\r\n","author":"fde","parent_id":111032,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","created":"2004-05-24 17:46:00","modified":"2005-08-15 02:56:47","fileurl":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2004\/05\/fde.jpggqxykh.jpg","image":{"original":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2004\/05\/fde.jpggqxykh.jpg"}},{"id":111079,"heading":"The Coast Guard Warrior","article":"Posting inane photos that have nothing to do with anything but his dreams of death and ruin.
