Fake BBC Video 162


Irrefutable evidence of a stunning bit of fakery by the BBC:

In this version the medic being interviewed says about the 2 minute mark:

“..It’s just absolute chaos and carnage here, erm we’ve had a massive influx of
what looks like serious burns, er seems like it must be some sort of chemical
weapon, I’m not really sure..”

In this version she says – it is at about 2 mins 20 seconds in this edit:

“..It’s just absolute chaos and carnage here, erm we’ve had a massive influx of
what looks like serious burns, er seems like it must be some sort of, I’m not
really sure, maybe napalm, something similar to that..”

The disturbing thing is the footage of the doctor talking is precisely the same each time.  It is edited so as to give the impression the medic is talking in real time in her natural voice – there are none of the accepted devices used to indicate a voiceover translation.  But it must be true that in at least one, and possibly both, the clips she is not talking in real time in her own voice.  It is very hard to judge as her mouth and lips are fully covered throughout.  Perhaps neither of the above is what she actually said.

Terrible things are happening all the time in Syria’s civil war, between Assad’s disparate forces and still more disparate opposition forces, and innocent people are suffering.  There are dreadful crimes against civilians on all sides.  I have no desire at all to downplay or mitigate that.  But once you realise the indisputable fact of the fake interview the BBC has put out, some of the images in this video begin to be less than convincing on close inspection too.

    Good find Craig.
    I also noticed later in the “napalm” video, some of the burnt(?) survivors appear to be motionless until they are somehow made aware of “Roll ’em, Action!”, they then start to move and moan.
    I also read a strangely prescient article,

    http://www.palestinecampaign.org/bbc-wrong-hide-commentators-pro-israeli-credentials/

    in which the BBC has had to apologise for misrepresenting the agenda of a supposedly neutral commentator on Israel’s position during the Cast Lead attack on the Palestinians.

    The Israelis DID use white phosphorous and napalm on the civilians…

    Complain, don’t hold yer breath…
    A recent reply to my letter of complaint from the BEEB, note how the assault by Iain Dale is immediately downgraded to a scuffle. Gosling and Brown are experienced Teleprompter readers and but we forced to accept the improbable fact that they may have human reactions.
    And again, assault becomes “grappling”.
    These pigs are probably trained in NLP. But, I can feel assured. that my complaint will be registered on the audience log, we all know what sort of log these twats mean…

    “Dear Mr xxxxxxxxxxxx

    Reference CAS-2326151-MFN62R

    Thanks for contacting us regarding the BBC News Channel.

    We note you found our news presenters acted inappropriately to a 24 September news item on Ian Dale’s scuffle with an anti-nuclear protester.

    While we of course appreciate your concerns, Joanna Gosling and Ben Brown are experienced journalists and presenters and would never intentionally undermine the seriousness of a story. We have reviewed the item in question and we believe that their reactions were simply of surprise at the unusual sight of the publicist grappling with a protester on camera.

    We are sorry if you feel their reactions were inappropriate and We’d assure you your concerns have been registered on our audience log, which is a daily report of audience feedback that’s made available to many BBC staff, including members of the BBC Executive Board, channel controllers and other senior managers.

    The audience logs are seen as important documents that can help shape decisions about future programming and content.

    Thanks again for taking the trouble to contact us.

    Kind Regards

    Glad to see that at long last we the people are beginning to understand; there is no news in the news; “Нет новостей в Известия”.

    Whilst watching/listening to the contrived bullshit, it behoves all of us to ask ourselves the following;

    1- Why am I being told this?

    2- Why am I being told this?

    3- Why am I being told this?

    Then try and make head or tail of the fairy tale enema that is being injected into our minds as “reality”.

    It is about time after years of being lied to, we the people at long last woke up to this fucking actuality.

    Jay Joanna Gosling, one of the presenters/autocue readers on the BBC ‘News’ Channel is married to Craig Oliver, who replaced Andy Coulson. He went straight to No 10 from the BBC.

    Profile: Craig Oliver worked for ITN before he joined the BBC
    Craig Oliver, who has been selected to replace Andy Coulson as David Cameron’s communications chief, has worked in broadcasting for almost two decades.

    The 41-year-old has resigned from his job as controller of English services at BBC Global News.

    In this role he was responsible for the World Service, BBC World News and the News website outside the UK.

    There had been wide speculation about who would replace Mr Coulson, a former editor of the News of the World, in Downing Street.

    When big lies must be told, BBC is there. From Iraq to Afghanistan to Libya and now Syria, BBC has paved the way for Western disinformation meant to mange public perception around a war the public would otherwise never support or tolerate.

    “Joanna Gosling, one of the presenters/autocue readers on the BBC ‘News’ Channel is married to Craig Oliver, who replaced Andy Coulson. He went straight to No 10 from the BBC.”

    So predictable. Here’s what i said to Mary last night:

    “And heavy reporting from the MSM by Mary tonight. Tomorrow she’ll be knocking the shit out of them!”

    And yet again tomorrow, we’ll have more useless stuff from the BBC, the Mail, the Mirror and so on…

    As for ‘going straight to No 10’, sure he didn’t pass by No 11 or pass ‘Go’ and collect his 500 pounds? Or should he have conspired to come through Sky first? Is he a Mossad plant?

    And what is the relevance to the present blog article, given that Oliver was appointed to his present position two and a half years ago? In case you suspect a conspiracy, Mary, please don’t be shy.

    An amendment from the BBC today – read from the bottom:

    Dear Mr Rennell,

    Thank you for your email. The article has been amended.

    Best wishes,
    BBC News website

    {Feedback Type:} I would like to… Make a complaint
    {Complaint type:} BBC News (TV Radio Online)
    {Complaint about:} BBC News Online
    {Complaint category:} Factual error or inaccuracy

    {Complaint:} Dear Sir/Madam,

    In the article in question the opening statement reads “US Secretary of State
    John Kerry has defended the capture of an al-Qaeda leader, Anas al-Liby….”

    Surely this should be “alleged al-Qaeda leader”?

    Many thanks!

    I don’t know how Assad’s opponents are labelled these days, but from the start of the war and for some months afterwards, they were known – by the B.B.C. – as “activists”. That alone tells you all you need to know about their bias. If you are like me and the word “activist” conjures up an image of a road-safety campaigner, or somebody who supports the local library or the little old lady down the road who’s a bit over-enthusiastic for the R.S.P.C.A., then people running around the place with assault rifles and R.P.G.s don’t quite fit the bill. In the interim, there have been all manner of faked photos, dubious reportage and God knows what. The cannibal mentioned by Putin, despite putting his works on Youtube, was alluded to briefly – and, as far as I know, never again – with a sentence containing the word “allegedly”. The destruction of the Aramaic Christian village – not just tolerated by the evil Assad but promoted as a tourist attraction– grudgingly mentioned with the usual “bad apples” implication. It goes on and on. So a good call by Craig, but I don’t know what it will take before the Beeb starts to care what we think. They are playing most of us for mugs and totally confident that they will get away with it. They have so far.

  • PAЯADOX

    Craig,

    I am so glad you posted this. This report first aired on the BBC the night the government lost the vote for military action on Syria. I’ll never forget my reaction, I watched it and instantly thought “This is fake” and “what an amazing co-incidence that the BBC air a story about supposed use of napalm right after the vote”, almost an instant later thought to myself what a strange reaction I had to the report but intuition if often right. I’ve never had that feeling watching the news before. The medic in the report is Dr Rola Hallam works for Hand in Hand for Syria and guess what, the day after the report she was in a nice warm BBC studio criticising Miliband over the commons vote. I couldn’t believe it!

    Labour complaint over Tory spin doctor Craig Oliver
    Fri 30 Aug 2013

    Labour has lodged a complaint about David Cameron’s communications chief after he accused Ed Miliband of potentially “giving succour” to President Bashar Assad’s regime by deciding to force the Government into a second vote before military action is taken against Syria.

    A letter has been sent to Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood condemning the “infantile and irresponsible” comments made by Craig Oliver.

    The party has called for Mr Oliver, the Government’s director of communications, to apologise and withdraw the remark.

    “A small victory. Medialens”

    And perhaps the Z-man, Zawahiri “allegedly” runs AQ Central, an “alleged” terrorist organisation?

    A small ‘victory’ indeed! Keep count of the Cuckoos nesting here!

    O/T, but never mind.

    Amidst all the well-documented accounts of skullduggery by corporations both private and public, as well as by some charities (allegedly), here’s a piece of truly heartening news. Perhaps of interest also to Craig given his connections with Africa.

    “Malaria hope

    The pitiful little mosquito has defied the might of human science for too long. For three decades, work has been underway at GlaxoSmithKline on a vaccine for malaria – the insect-borne disease that kills 660,000 people a year. A breakthrough could take place this week.
    At a medical conference in South Africa, the drugs company is scheduled to reveal findings from a long-term clinical study of the vaccine. Tests have involved more than 6,000 children in seven African countries.
    The vaccine, which labours under the far from snappy name of RTS,S, is intended to trigger the human immune system to prevent malaria from multiplying in the liver.
    If this is successful, it will be a huge achievement. GSK has invested $350 million into the project, without any prospect of a commercial return. A further $200 million has been contributed by PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative – a coalition that includes the Gates Foundation and, perhaps surprisingly, ExxonMobil.
    Much has changed since the turn of the millennium, when GSK’s reputation in Africa hit rock bottom as the company attempted to sue Nelson Mandela for distributing cut-price HIV drugs.”

    Another of those BBC tax scams.

    Money spinner: Top Tory spin doctor’s wife used ‘tax reduction’ scheme
    26 Jun 2012 00:00

    The wife of David Cameron’s aide Craig Oliver is paid through a specially created company – and that may cut her tax bill by thousands
    http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/david-camerons-spin-doctor-craig-940272

    The company was appropriately called PAYA Ltd and he got paid as secretary. Fine examples of entrepreneurship.

    Today is the twelfth anniversary of our invasion into Afghanistan. Shame on the warmongers and on those who put them into power.

  • Villager

    Thank you Mary. Deter you from what? Despatch to join the Palestine negotiating team? (Still no explanation why you believe they are empty shells, what they are doing wrong, how might they do better?)

    Or deter you from joint FEdup in Fedexing arms to the Palestinians — he seems to be having some minor technical logistical problems! Or deter ou from constant unsolicited/unengaged interjections with your ‘tidbits’ about “The wife of David Cameron’s aide Craig Oliver is paid through a specially created company – and that may cut her tax bill by thousands.

    Or simply not be deterred to being counted as a cuckoo?

    “The background is different. This was a “green screen” of the woman talking ”

    Yes the background is different and what about the guy in the white shirt who walks behind her in one clip but not the other? Simple explanation:- THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT TAKES! No green screen, no dubbing, no fakery and no conspiracy; not that I expect anyone here to accept that.
