New Bin Laden Video: 100% Forgery

Introduces martyrdom of hijacker who is still alive, references to current events occur during video freeze

The newly released Osama Bin Laden video is a an iron clad forgery, and not even a good one at that. All references to current events made by the figure said to be Bin Laden occur at a point in the video where the picture freezes and only audio is present. Bin Laden also presents a pre recorded martyrdom video of one of the alleged 9/11 hijackers, Waleed al Shehri, who was reported by the BBC as still alive and well in Saudi Arabia.

Hits to Blogs such as this one have sky rocketed as they have been the first to point out the suspicious aspects of the video which has become public in full for the first time today:

Osama Bin Laden's widely publicized video address to the American people has a peculiarity that casts serious doubt on its authenticity: the video freezes at about 1 minute and 58 seconds, and motion only resumes again at 12:30. The video then freezes again at 14:02 remains frozen until the end. All references to current events, such as the 62nd anniversary of the U.S.
atomic bombing of Japan, and Sarkozy and Brown being the leaders of France and the UK, respectively, occur when the video is frozen! The words spoken when the video is in motion contain no references to contemporary events and could have been (and likely were) made before the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

The audio track does appear to be in the voice of a single speaker. What I suspect was done is that an older, unreleased video was dubbed over for this release, with the video frozen when the audio track departed from that of the original video.

Watch the video:

The video may be downloaded as a 677 mb MPEG file here .

Also of note is the fact that when Bin Laden begins to talk about the 19 hijackers the video becomes jerky as if some of it has been edited out or altered.
Meanwhile ABC's The Blotter is reporting that a second tape from Osama bin Laden was recorded in the same location as the video released last week:

People in the intelligence community who have seen the tape feel it is directly related to the 9/11 anniversary since the al Qaeda leader introduces the prerecorded martyrdom video of one of the 9/11 hijackers, Waleed al Shehri.
Waleed al Shehri was one of the hijackers on American Airlines flight 11 that crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

No, actually Waleed al Shehri was not one of the hijackers on flight 11, as reported by the BBC and other mainstream media outlets shortly after 9/11. The report which was quickly memory-holed in the aftermath of the attacks stated:
Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September.
His photograph was released, and has since appeared in newspapers and on television around the world.

Now he is protesting his innocence from Casablanca, Morocco.

He told journalists there that he had nothing to do with the attacks on New York and Washington, and had been in Morocco when they happened. He has contacted both the Saudi and American authorities, according to Saudi press reports.

So ask yourself this, why is Osama Bin Laden under the impression that this man was on board flight 11, and why does he have a martyrdom video starring this man when this man is still alive and is not being held nor sought by the FBI in connection with 9/11?

The actual release of the video has been delayed in order to whip up a media frenzy ahead of the sixth anniversary of the attacks. US intelligence and mainstream media outlets have both had possession of the video for a number of days if not weeks now, it has only been leaked onto the internet today.
Yet reports continue to be written stating: "For the first time in nearly three years, the new-look bin Laden will be unveiled on television screens across the world when he releases a televised statement to mark the sixth anniversary of the September 11 attacks."

Osama Bin Laden does not control the US intelligence agencies or the mainstream media, there has been a conscious decision to delay the release of the video in order to give it maximum impact on the anniversary of 9/11. In this sense, even if you still choose to believe that the videos are authentic Al Qaeda productions in the face of all the evidence to the contrary, there is no denying that our own media at the behest of the government is using the tapes as propaganda.

The failure on the part of any mainstream media source to question or even to mention at all the highly suspect freezing in the video at the exact points where Bin Laden speaks of current events is scandalous and betrays a total lack of willingness to properly investigate and report accurate information.
To their credit some analysts have pointed out the wholly fake beard that "Osama" has apparently donned, while other apologists have attempted to pass it off as an "image change" for the terrorist leader, saying he has dyed his beard and hair in an attempt to appear younger and more stern, which some, including the intelligence agency linked SITE Institute , have laughably claimed is "common practice" amongst Muslim men. In reality it is wholly uncommon for Muslim men to dye their beards black.

Previously released Bin Laden videos have been revealed to be old footage dating from five years ago, yet have still been passed off as new by the mainstream media.

In our previous article , we outlined how almost every so-called "Al-Qaeda" tape has been released at the most politically opportune time for the Bush administration and the Neo-Cons.

We also emphasized the conclusions of our previous investigation concerning IntelCenter, the so-called "middleman" behind the As-Sahab terrorist media arm of Al-Qaeda and the public release of the tapes. In reality, all the evidence points to IntelCenter itself directly releasing the tapes in its role as a front for the military-industrial complex.

In addition, intelligence sources have made it clear that they see Adam Gadahn, aka Adam Pearlman, as the scriptwriter of the latest Osama Bin Laden video. The CIA would have us believe that Gadahn is "American Al Qaeda", the US citizen gone bad. However undertake a modicum of research into Gadahn and you will discover from mainstream news reports that he is a hardcore Jewish Zionist who once wrote stinging essays condemning Muslims as "bloodthirsty terrorists,".

The propaganda can be no better emphasized than with a cursory analysis of stills of the new video. Who added the new backdrop depicting a plane flying into an 11 and a 9? It certainly was not present in the actual video nor in stills released last week. So exactly who is helping Bin Laden out with his public image this week?

The continued perpetuation of this myth has reached the point of farce now. There can be no doubt anymore that these crudely edited and forged propaganda tapes that are being foisted upon the American people represent nothing more than a contrived Neo-Con hoax to reinforce the flagging official version of 9/11 and the legitimacy of the so-called war on terror.

He must have used "Just for Martyrs"...

So, if it's not real, who made it and who released it and why?

justoneman · 09-11-2007, 11:25 AM

Well then if the video freezes during current events portions, then that suggests that the video of Bin Laden is really him but just old. The more they do this stuff the more I think he is really dead. Unless they are trying to make us think he is dead by doing this. They are rather clever you know.

I thought about that, but came to the conclusion that he is dead, or he would put tapes out rebutting these.

As Alive as Elvis

Sunday, September 9. 2007

On Saturday morning I found a copy of the full Bin Laden (2007-09-07) video. It is 677 Megs and took over two hours to download. By Saturday evening I had finished analyzing the video, and I completed the audio analysis this morning. (There is also a 3-minute version that is the first 3 minutes from the full video.)

My findings? I strongly believe that Bin Laden is dead.

Let's see how I did on my Friday prediction...

"Assuming the video includes animation and not a still picture, the clips will contain splices."
I nailed this. There are some very obvious places where the video has been spliced. Here's some examples:
- 1:39 -- A little more than a minute and a half into the video is a splice. He goes from looking out to looking down in less than 1/25th of a second.
- 13:13 -- The second splice. Not as big, but definitely there.
There are actually six splices in the video as far as I can tell. In the audio track are even more splices.

The video itself was filmed in two takes. The first section opens the video and ends at 1:56. The second section begins at 12:29 and continues until 14:01. That's right: the entire 26 minute video has less than four minutes of animated footage. The rest of the video just shows a still-frame of Bin Laden. The two sections are clearly from different recordings because the desk is closer to the camera in the second section.
"The video will not contain any new content. Instead, it will contain a series of clips from old videos."
The video shows Bin Laden in his white hat, white shirt, and yellow sweater. This is the same clothing he wore in the 2004-10-29 video. In 2004 he had it unzipped, but in 2007 he zipped up the bottom half. Besides the clothing, it appears to be the same background, same lighting, and same desk. Even the camera angle is almost identical.

So here's my question... If you were on the run through mountains on foot, would you be carrying around unnecessary clothing? No - you would only take the essentials. A fancy shirt and yellow sweater are not essential for mountain life on the run. If, in the future, you find that you need a nice shirt and sweater, you would get new ones.

Yet here is Bin Laden in the same clothing, same studio, same studio setup, and same desk THREE YEARS LATER. In fact, his stack of papers that he reads are moved between the exact same stacks. If you overlay the 2007 video with the 2004 video, his face has not changed in three years -- only his beard is darker and the contrast on the picture has been adjusted.

What are the chances of nothing changing (except his beard) in three years? Virtually zero. The clips appear to have been recorded three years ago.

The audio does make reference to relatively current events (people and places). However, these references are ONLY made during the frozen-frame portions and only after splices in the audio track. The animated portions make no references to current events.
"The video will probably be interspersed with footage of fighters and warriors engaged in battle."
I missed this. Instead of fighters, they simply have a frozen-frame of him.

So how did they make the video? They took 3.5 minutes of old video and spliced in a frozen-frame with new audio. The new audio has no accompanying "live" video and consists of multiple audio recordings.

The big question is: is the audio from Bin Laden? I'm not an audio expert (yet) and since I don't know Arabic, I cannot tell if there is an accent or if the accent changes. I do know that the room echo and background sounds change during different audio clips. And there are so many splices that I cannot help but wonder if someone spliced words and phrases together. I also cannot rule out a vocal imitator during the frozen-frame audio. The only way to prove that the audio is really Bin Laden is to see him talking in the video, but all references to current-events come during the frozen-frame section.

So is Bin Laden still alive? I see no proof of his existance that is newer than three years ago. Bin Laden is as alive as Elvis.

I doubt they (CIA) want us to think he's dead JOM... what would there be to fear if they wanted that?

justoneman · 09-11-2007, 11:46 AM

Well the Cia have been trying to track Bin Laden for a long long time. Well before 911. It has been very difficult. He has in the past gone absent for years only to turn up at the center of a major attack. You cannot say he is dead for sure until you get the DNA evidence from a dead body. Anything else is pure speculation.

You know what? The CIA wants him dead. There is no big attempt by the government to fool you. The Senators and the President and the Judges are not all laughing behind your back.

It's an old trick, the Soviets tried to keep Hitler alive so they could kill more Germans. This admin keeps OBL alive because of the fear factor. Nothing worse for these guys than a dead enemy.
