Beheaded Man's Firm Was On Right-Wing 'Enemies' List
The family firm of beheaded American Nick Berg, was named by a conservative website in a list of 'enemies' of the Iraq occupation. That could explain his arrest by Iraqi police --a detention which fatally delayed his planned return from Iraq and may have led directly to his death.
Nick Berg, 26 disappeared into incommunicado detention after his arrest by Iraqi police in March, 2004. He vanished again after his release 13 days later. His body was found last Saturday in Baghdad, and a video of his beheading --supposedly by a radical Islamic group-- was posted on the Internet on Tuesday.
The official story of his gruesome murder has many dubious aspects, not least the real reason why Iraqi police detained the young man at a checkpoint. New research by BreakForNews has uncovered a plausible explanation.
The FreeRepublic.com web site and forum has a reputation for right-wing views, often fanatical Republican and relentless pro-war activism.
On 7th March, 2004, just three weeks before the first anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, an 'enemies' list of anti-war groups and individuals was posted on the Free Republic forum.
It began: "Here you are, FReepers. Here is the enemy."
The list had been copied from publicly available endorsements of a call to action for an imminent anniversary antiwar protest on 20th March, 2004. The protest was being organized under the banner of the A.N.S.W.E.R Coalition (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism).
Among those listed as having endorsed the call to action was this entry: "Michael S. Berg, Teacher, Prometheus Methods Tower Service, Inc."
That's Nick Berg's father, Michael who acts as business manager for his son in their family radio communications firm, Prometheus Methods Tower Service.

Neither do I. I was hoping you could tell me one way or another.
I don't need to go to another forum - i FReep. They come to me, so it seems.

Fintan Dunne is the same crackpot Irishman who brought the world
PsyOpNews, currently devoting its time to the proposition that we faked our capture of Saddam. And he's the same crackpot Irishman who brought you
AIDSMyth, dedicated to "debunking" the notion that HIV causes AIDS, that HIV is sexually transmitted, that HIV is infectious at all, and so forth. And he's the same crackpot Irishman who brought the world (along with his "researcher", Kathy McMahon),
TreeIncarnation - and if you can tell me what the hell that one's all about, I'd appreciate it.
In a sane world, Fintan Dunne would be soaking in gin and bending the ear of some hapless bartender down at the local pub. Instead, the world is completely bonkers, and anyone who takes much of anything Dunne says seriously is pretty well bonkers too.

Woof!
Hey Doug, the kookburgers have found you.
To: hellinahandcart
I was contacted by FReepmail by a salon.com reporter who wants the story. I spoke to him off the record and will either give him an official story or perhaps put up a separate post.

Hatemail just in:
"The family firm of beheaded American Nick Berg, was named by a conservative website in a list of 'enemies' of the Iraq occupation. That could explain his arrest by Iraqi police --a detention which fatally delayed his planned return from Iraq and may have led directly to his death. Hi you filthy scum sucking fascist pig. I'm an attorney who will be offering my services pro-bono to help Berg's family drag your ass through every civil court we can find jurisdiction in. Maybe you had better find a way to hide your assets, Robinson including the cheesy little American flag made in Mexico which is probably tied around the your car antenna. That will be the first thing we'll take so we can give it a good scrubbing and laundering since you have have touched it."

Interestingly, A.N.S.W.E.R. has removed Michael Berg's name and many other names from its website.
