Thou shalt not sell the land for ever, because the land is for me...

This blog is about arguments over The Land (Ha Aretz)

We are to use the land in a proper way:

Once in every 7 days, 7 years and 7 rest-year periods. we are to allow freedom and equality to all humans and all animals.

We are to remember that the land is not ours but was given to us for this purpose. Given to us the sons of Abraham and specifically to the sons of Isaac and Jacob, in order to remember and accomplish this.

We are to teach the world about the love of life, and to steer them away from false beliefs in death for the sake of death.

CNN Coverage or cover up?

CNN war crimes cover-up in Libya?
Are we being shown cold blooded murder but told otherwise while watching it?

It seems that at least two of the CNN reporters, Dan Rivers, Alex Thompson and perhaps also Syrian-Turkish Arwa Damon may be in on a war crime cover up that they were witnessing and recording! 

It is obvious that they are trying to cover up who the rebels really are, by interviewing only people that look western - either with long hair, or having a shaved face, wearing T shirts and jeans, while all the fighters around them are with uniforms, and narrating the scenes blurring out what is really being said, using sleeveless woman reporters (obviously Muslims would not allow for that...), 



But you wouldn't expect them to cover up when they are watching cold blooded murder committed in front of their own eyes. You wouldn't expect them to show it to the viewers around the world, stopping short before the execution itself, and continuing with banal narrations, would you?

Or maybe there's something else? Perhaps, like in the Agatha Christie stories, they are trying to hint something to us, because they are in grave danger, and we just don't get it? Following the rest of their narrative, it definitely does not seem so. 


Libya coverage (or cover up?)

Nobody thinks Qaddafi was OK, but a video with reporter Dan Rivers on "Bodies abandoned in Tripoli hospital" are not willing to uncover what the horrifying images are about. Giving some hints Rivers concludes: "Its not clear how these people died or who they are... These are mysteries that will go to the grave with them." Why? Can't he explain it? Can't he speculate?

Then, further down the video survivors are found believed to be Qaddafi loyalists. Hmm. Ends with a father crying over his living son who looks at him with wonder, while he says: "Why should Muslims kill Muslims?". Rivers narrates: ...child with a bullet in his chest, shot outside Ghadaffi's compound.



In the next video with Alex Thomson "Grim face of war in Libya", some of the same images and sounds are shown. But this time in perhaps two context's one as the last (all dark skinned central African) survivors are taken by the red cross, the other, as rebels break into closed parts of the hospital. Then you see an edited picture that stops short without showing the conclusion. Are we witnessing a war crime cover-up? 


Thomson's narration reads: "Prisoners emerging from this chaotic fighting". The image shows a beaten dark skinned Qaddafi soldier bleeding and crying and having money taken from him. Then an Islamic looking warrior is seen in a car yelling into a prisoner's face to repeat "Libyin Kul Lahoud". The prisoner repeats the phrase. The warrior then yells while waving his fist: "Umarabush Il Ghadafi... the sound is cut off for the narration but the prisoner is seen and faintly heard repeating the 2nd phrase. With the background images of dark skinned people with raised hands facing a wall some turning around in terror (obviously Qaddafi soldiers) then some footage of man squatting, turning in horror, then forced a backwards faced helmet on his head and tied. 


The viewer gets the impression of watching an execution. Thomson's narration reads: But some such soldiers were killed before getting a chance to be treated properly.

This narration is read, just as an arm holding some sharp objects is seen moving towards the prisoners face, the image and sound are cut, and merged immediately into a completely different scene with the sounds of an angry mob chanting and the image of a military truck. The narration now reads: "We spoke exclusively to the rebel commander who's lead much of the fighting in Tripoly...


Anybody wish to comment?

But wait. Looking at a Fox news video titled Could Al Qaeda Obtain Qaddafi Regime's Weapons? it reveals that the exclusively given interview with the rebel commander was in fact an interview with Abdul Hakim Belhaj, the ('Emir') leader of the Al Quaida affiliated LIFG terrorist organization set to create an Islamic state in Libya! It is also made clear in that video, that black skin is the sign of Qaddafi's mercenaries from central Africa (shown ID cards of the dead soldiers lying around them, rebels angrily prove that these are non local mercenaries). So now it is clear what has been shown on the first video. The "freed prisoners" are actually beaten Qaddafi mercenaries apparently being executed! And the next pictures show them after the execution, Or possibly after not being treated in the hospital. 

CNN does not have direct links to their videos, so I just gave the description without the links.



So who are the rebels?
Less appalling but no less destructive is the CNN's apparent cover up of the rebel movement's identity. Skewed reporting and perhaps "baking the images" can be seen when comparing two videos both shown on CNN, about the liberated 'Abu Salim' Libyan prison. 


The first video is apparently staged, showing a group of Islamic fighters holding up the Koran and chanting 'Allahu Akbar', entering the jail and "freeing it" (kicking on doors and entering empty rooms with guns ready) concluding with the CNN studio's news anchor saying: "We have no idea who these guys are". The images of this video are shown repeatedly on other news clips as a background for narration, especially about Matthew VanDyke, an american adventurer or activist who was freed, but decided to currently stay in Libya. It seems they were created at the same location and time as the second video, perhaps in preparation for the two interviews following.

The second video shows two interviews with former Abu Salim prison inmates. First Mohammed Gadamaizi, a young man with no beard or mustache, waring a short sleeved T shirt, shows scars on his back and the wire he was beaten with. Then Matthew VanDyke is shown in his solitary confinement cell. Although he was not beaten he would have preferred to have been, he says. The video concludes with the hope that the 'rest of Libya is set free'. 

But by who? 




IMPORTANT UPDATE
Apparently these images are being shown by all news outlets. The Daily Telegraph in an article about the UN giving immunity of war-crimes to the mercenaries, show an image with the caption reading Libyan militia members from the forces against Gadhafi escort a man who they suspect to be a mercenary. So, he's suspected to be a mercenary? The Libyans are holding a pistol. Where are they escorting him to?  Is he alive?
