New Hacker Video Claims To Show Staged Beheading FootageVideo allegedly stolen from John McCains staff. John McCains sordid history with ISIS, terrorism, and color revolutions has been demonstrated time and time again. However, if a new video released by Ukrainian hacker group Cyber Berkut turns out to be real, McCains ties to terrorism and domestic pro-war propaganda have become even more demonstrative. Only days ago, Cyber Berkut released a video purporting to show the studio creation of one of the famous ISIS beheadings of Western journalists. The video shows a movie studio complete with camera and directing crew as well as a small stage set with background and dirt for setting. On his knees is what appears to be a bald man some are claiming to be Steven Sotloff (although others suggest James Foley); and to his side is another individual dressed in all black with his face covered in the same way as Jihadi John in the videos blasted across the television screens of Western audiences during the drum up to the bombing campaign in Iraq and Syria. The hacker group claims it came into possession of the video by hacking into a device belonging to a member of John McCains staff while the Senator was visiting Ukraine. The group wrote in a description of the video (translated from Russian): We KiberBerkut received at the disposal of the file whose value can not be overstated! Dear Senator McCain! We recommend you next time in foreign travel, and especially on the territory of Ukraine, not to take confidential documents. In one of the devices of your colleagues, we found a lot of interesting things. Something we decided to put: this video should become the property of the international community. If the video is real, it should indeed become the property of the international community. At this time, however, the authenticity of the video has not been confirmed. Certainly, Cyber Berkut has a vested interest in seeing both John McCain and US intelligence agencies humiliated and distrusted. After all, Cyber Berkut is considered a pro-Russian hacker organization. To be clear, however, John McCains connections to terrorism and terrorist organizations are by no means fabricated. McCain himself has been photographed with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Abu Sakr, and a number of other jihadist terrorists in Syria. McCain has also made a number of pilgrimages to visit his Nazi friends in Kiev. Indeed, the number of McCains crimes in regards to international terrorism and destabilization cannot be understated. Likewise, it cannot be ignored that there is clear evidence that the videos allegedly showing the beheadings of Western journalists were faked. While the video released by Cyber Berkut cannot be confirmed as 100% authentic as of yet, the fact that this video might present evidence that these beheading videos were created in a studio and controlled setting is entirely within the realm of possibility and recent historical precedent (see here, here, here, here, and here). Thus, they should not be dismissed without a thorough investigation and appraisal. If the video is real, it simply adds up to one more piece in the larger puzzle of terrorism and terrorism propaganda that has been created and maintained by the Anglo-American empire for decades.

Should read McCains ties to terrorism cannot be overstated. I think we all agree they ate, in fact, understated :-). Wouldnt be surprised if its the real deal but good to note its not verified and the obvious motivation of CyberBerkut. Or it could be real and from somewhere else. I Jane no idea to what extent that can be determined. I Jane no idea either.. the question here is WHY would McCain have this on his hard drive? Not to mention the question, why does McCain has this at all? This video can never be validated so the truth will never be known. Sorry, its only propaganda at this point. If Mc cain deny s that this was a staged event..then we know that the hackers have a REAL video.imho Someone will no doubt do some comparison between the original videos and this one to see if height, weigh,t wind, shadows etcetera jive. I would remain doubtful until the experts weigh in. If this is the real deal greatif not then stuff like this is more harmful than can be estimated. I always thought those videos looked staged from the minute I first saw them. This does not surprise me at all. All so called IS videos are fake, they are psychological tools to disturb and motivate the western population into attacking Israels enemies. Why would there be a camera up in that corner viewing from that angle? Daish/ISIL behedinga re real, hey are NOT faked. If you think theya re faked then you are an idiot.
