Who killed Nick Berg? (Barf Alert! FreeRepublic mentioned!)
Sydney Morning Herald ^ | May 29, 2004 | Richard Neville

Posted on 05/28/2004 10:21:09 AM PDT by DocRock

Conspiracy theories about how the kidnapped American died in Iraq are flying around the world. Richard Neville explores the explanations.

Iraq in flames, Washington an object of disgust. What to do? At this pivotal moment, CNN and Fox News are tipped off to a clip of an American citizen being beheaded. The victim is a 26-year-old idealist from Pennsylvania, Nick Berg. Despite the perpetrators being masked, the vile deed is deemed the work of al-Qaeda.

The clip was first "discovered" on an Islamic website in Malaysia. Its Arabic title reads "Abu Musab al-Zarqawi shown slaughtering an American". al-Zarqawi is a 38-year-old Jordanian militant who fled to Iraq in 2001 after reportedly losing a leg in a US missile strike. al-Zarqawi's face is widely known and he credits himself with the deed, so why a mask?

The timing of the video was brilliant for the West. Media pundits judged the crime a deeper evil than the systemic torture of innocent Iraqis. But some people sensed a rat. But if it was not al-Qaeda, who? Surely not Uncle Sam. That's too dark, even for the CIA.

Sure, add all the enemies you want to. I'm sure that Wolfowitz will get them when he reads FR daily.

I want to add some old lady that took 10 minutes to get my Dairy Queen order together to the enemies list. I don't know her name, but you know the one.

On March 7, 2004, two weeks before his arrest in Mosul, an "enemies list" had been posted on a conservative website, Free Republic.com. The list was compiled from signatories to an anti-war petition, and its implied purpose was to encourage readers to harass those it named.

This makes my head explode!

For all you JERKS out there reading this, the list was copied WORD FOR WORD from the A.N.S.W.E.R site -- WORD FOR WORD; WE didn't make the list; THEY did!!!

The info fro piasa that I thought was interesting was who paid for Jim McDermott's trip to Baghdad and all that info on Ramsey Clark.

Somehow...someway, ALL of these lefties are tied into A.N.S.W.E.R....and Michael Moore and George Soros..and Michael Berg ad alas Nick Berg.

(1) My tagline - "the wizard of odd" not the "wizard of odds." It is no reference to billyjeff clintoon at all. It is a tagline I was using long before I even knew that Bill Clinton existed. It is also the title of a comedy (political satire) I wrote during my school years to ridicule what I perceived, even then, to be the flip-flopping nature of the entire Democratic Party. Hence, "the wizard of odds" is an expert in any game of chance, a high-priced, high-profiled gambler who counts on fooling all of the people all of the time. This is the historical - and hysterical - nature of the Democratic coalition. "You support my cause, I'll support your cause, even though we disagree with each other, but in numbers there is strength." That is what JOKER (abbreviation for JOhn KERry) is trying to do with his incessant flip-flops.

(2) What is Dhimmi?

DHIMMICRAT - refers to the Islamic concept of "dhimmitude."

For your information, first 3 results from Yahoo Search:

"Dhimmis and Dhimmitude: The Status of Minorities Under Islamic Rule Status of the people of the book and minorities under islamic rule ...

So we have the DHIMMICRATS. Sympathizers with radical extremist Islam. Purveyors of balkanizing "multiculturalism" and the need for hate crimes legislation, political correctness, and speech codes as the only "shining path" which the postmodern "United States of Amerikkka" must follow in order to "redeem" itself, by controlling the very minds and bodies of members of the "vast rightwing conspiracy," although it is hard to picture a liberal who believes in the need for "redemption."

[satire]Michael Moore killed Berg when he heard about the bricks that Berg was developing in a lab.

Moore figured Berg's bricks would be valuable, because they could be stuffed with explosives, carried, and then thrown by members of the PLO and other terrorist organizations.

Since demonstrators often carry bricks or rocks, the bricks are perfect "hide-in-plain-sight" weapons. [/satire]

Yeah, it's too much of coincidence that Prometheus Radio in PA had contracted with Prometheus Radio towers, to not have related backing. There was also the question of where Nick Berg got his money in Iraq. First I heard that his father claimed that he had made $70,000 in Iraq, then on Friday I read that Nick Berg was unable to obtain and work in Iraq. Now which is it, and where did the money come from that he was carrying?

From the full article, a "proof" of American military conspiracy-

~*· The man on the far left stands in the familiar "at ease" military posture.*~

I often stand with my feet in fifth position. I guess I must be a bloody ballerina.

While this video shows a human body having its head chopped off, it does not necessarily portray an act of murder."

What La La Land is this? Berg didn't commit suicide! Is this typical Aussie press?

FreeRepublic has had it's share of troubles with Indymedia in the past! No surprise they would try and blame this forum for Nick's death. No way would they blame the stinking pigs that chopped his head off.

Well, it's free advertising for FreeRepublic. Once people come to the site for themselves, they will likely change their minds....unless they are pacifists, or appeasers, or DUers, or DemoRATs, that is.

While this video shows a human body having its head chopped off, it does not necessarily portray an act of murder. Berg's headless body was found dumped on a Baghdad roadside on Saturday, May 8.

SAY WHAT?
