Why are there people who think the James Foley video is fake?

Question

The dude is dead. He's gone. Whether the vid is staged or not does not matter since the meaning is the same-he got beheaded.

Dont be disrespectful to his grieving family. It's not right. There are times for games and pretending to believe in crazy theories but this isn't one of those times.

RIP

Answer 1

There a people in the world that like to take tragedy, and turn the public attention focused on that tragedy on themselves.



They do this by dreaming up elaborate conspiracy theories and old fashioned trolling.



It's best in my opinion to simply ignore these people.

Answer 2

Some of those people are actual specialists you know.



It was obviously a fake video of a fake story being used to whip the mass of the sheeple into supporting an attack on Iraq (and Syria).



But it seems the conspirators began to panic when they saw how many weren't buying their nonsense video.



So IT IS THE GOVERNMENTS now who've actually done a damage limitation number and have called it fake - but by the "terrorists"!!!!!



.

They are still sticking to the yarn that Foley was kidnapped and killed as they want war..



Seeing by many of your responses, many of the programmed are even unaware that it has been OFFICIALLY declared a fake by now.. Hilarious!



It really does show how the "Truth Movement" is making at least some impact and yet again re-emphasizes how "hard of thinking" and gullible many of the modern public are nowadays (not to mention in this case unaware of the official facts -never mind the unofficial ones).

Answer 3

Because the government controlled media needed to sway public opinion for another illegal war, and guess what? It worked. Just a few weeks ago when the so called president ordered airstrikes against "ISIS" in Iraq, the public was not comfortable butting into other countries problems. After the "beheading" the public changed their tune and is behind another invasion in Iraq, this time against the CIA trained ISIS. They needed a new boogeyman since Al-Quadia was used to death.



For the idiots who believe everything they're told from their TV need mental health treatment. Don't listen to these brainwashed sheep. Follow the evidence and only then, come up with your opinion.

Answer 4

Because no blood came out when they cut into his neck. I've seen plenty of these video to know that **** tons of blood spurts out almost instantly as the cutting begins. I've also seen enough of these videos to know that these ISIS animals don't shy away from showing the gory parts. They chant Allahu Akbar throughout the whole thing. They don't use multipe camera angles and they have crap for production value. Nothing about the james foley video seemed authentic.

Answer 5

I read last night that it was not real, but James Foley was murdered which is the main thing. He may not have been murdered live on air but he was murdered by ranting fanatics for no reason.

Answer 6

There are people who think that all terrorist attacks, murders and acts of war by Muslims are either faked or provoked by George Bush / the International Jewish Conspiracy. They are convinced that all (ALL) Muslims are peaceful people who wouldn't swat a fly.



I know it sounds hard to believe but I know someone personally who has this belief - my ex-girlfriend. That is but one reason why she is my EX-girlfriend.



That's not to say that there aren't Musilms who are nice peaceful people. The aforementioned ex-girlfriend has a Muslim ex-husband from a Muslim country which she visited. All her in-laws were extremely nice people. Her ex-husband routinely beat her though.



That, and what Foofa said.

Answer 7

It's called cognitive dissonance.

Answer 8

Not everything one sees in the internet or even media is real so there will be people who are skeptic, and then there are people who are living their lives in denial.

Answer 9

Many people think almost anything is fake,from the Moon landing to 9/11 and lots in-between. If most of the newspapers and TV seem to accept things we must do so as well.

Answer 10

i think because the video doesn't actually show them chopping off his head.

Answer 11

Most are pakistanis whom can not be trusted with children so don't worry.
