“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
This is all very curious. I just looked up still images of James Foley and his killer. I found one image from the tape which was more clear than the rest, and in that image (from rt!?!) it looks just like James Foley instead of the imposter we see above.
There is some major monkey business taking place, that much is certain.
I just tried to find the original video but either it's been taken down, or for some reason I'm not able to access it. In the still photos I'm now finding, the guy does look like the real James Foley.
The video also shows another man on his knees who is identified as American journalist Steven Sotloff. The Islamic State member says that Sotloff's future "depends" on President Obama's "next decision." Sotloff, a freelance journalist, went missing in Syria in August 2013.
The National Security Council issued a statement about Foley's apparent murder:
"We have seen a video that purports to be the murder of U.S. citizen James Foley by ISIL. The intelligence community is working as quickly as possible to determine its authenticity. If genuine, we are appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent American journalist and we express our deepest condolences to his family and friends. We will provide more information when it is available.”
