Bogus Pictures from Qana recycled
"Green Helmet Guy" now working for Hamas?
By Judi McLeod Friday, January 2, 2009Palestinian propagandist "Green Helmet Guy", whose photos depicting him carrying the corpse of a child went viral during the July 2006 war in Lebanon, has resurfaced.
Playing a prominent role in proven bogus pictures in the aftermath of the July 30, 2006 raid on Qana where he seemed to be on the payroll of Hezbollah, the corpse-bearing photo of "Green Helmet Guy", aka "Mr. Green Helmet" is now being used to disseminate Hamas propaganda.
YouTube can now be added to Green Helmet Guy's propaganda arsenal.
In a YouTube entitled "Ahmed Hamdy Singing for Ghazah, here Green Helmet Guy is holding up the corpse of the same child he held up two years ago in Lebanon. It is unlikely that singer Ahmed Hamdy knows his singing is being used to promote propaganda via YouTube.
Graphic photos of Palestinian victims, many of them dead or mortally wounded children, appear in the YouTube with Hamdy's voice singing in the background. The YouTube, which includes messages written in Arabic, was put together by Mohamed Ibrahim.
Green Helmet Guy was caught red-handed when bloggers spotted him in the aftermath of the raid on Qana as a "rescue worker" who seemed to parade around with the corpse of a child for protracted periods of time.
"Many bloggers speculated that he is, in fact, a Hezbollah "set designer" and media relations officer whose job is to milk maximum propaganda value from each photo opportunity, with the cooperation of willing photographers, who must witness his shenanigans in person, but not report on them." (http://www.zombietime.com).
Canada Free Press (CFP) was sent the YouTube on an email list that included info@radioislam,com. CFP's IT expert Brian Thompson recognized Green Helmet Guy when checking to see what was on the video.
The photos from Qana and Gaza are a perfect match.
During the Qana aftermath, the blog EU Referendum had the most complete photo series compilation, showing that each image individually might be accepted as an unopposed authentic news photo, but that when one considers all the photos taken that day by Reuters, AP and Agence France Presse, it becomes obvious that the entire scene was some kind of gruesome theater performance, apparently with actors posing as rescue workers parading around with a few corpses, seemingly posing for the cameras instead of evacuating the bodies as humanely and efficiently as possible.
"However on August 9, the ruse was completely unmasked by the TV newsmagazine "Zapp" on the German NDR television network, which aired video of Green Helmet Guy acting as a movie director and staging propaganda photos and videos while pretending to be a rescue worker. After the video was posted online, most leading bloggers (such as Little Green Footballs) felt the evidence was now absolutely conclusive that Hezbollah was staging most of the imagery coming out of Lebanon.
"The German news site Bild uncovered pictures of Green Helmet Guy staging similar gruesome propaganda shots in 1996, as the Jawa Report noted, proving he's been at this business for quite some time."
"Incredibly, in response to the initial questions about the Qana pictures, Reuters issued a statement that completely denied any of its photos were staged, stating, "Reuters and other news organisations reviewed those images and have all rejected allegations that the photographs were staged." But their denial has fallen on deaf ears in the blogosphere, as more and more seemingly staged photos are discovered every day.
Hatred towards Israel in Lebanon, fomenting since the 2006 war between Lebanon and Israel, has reached fever pitch.
Protests against Israeli attacks on Gaza have been held over the New Year's weekend in Beirut, New York, London, Cairo, San Francisco, Athens Paris and Baghdad.
Protesters have hit the streets waving "Nuke Israel!" and "Death to Israel" signs in many of the world's capital cities, with hundreds of more protests expected this weekend.
"MSNBC reports that in Beirut, Lebanon, Hezbollah supporters thronged south Beirut in support of Hamas. Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, urges the Lebanese to support Hamas and declared Monday a day of mourning to show solidarity with Gaza. This certainly seems to support rumors that Hezbollah may be aiding Hamas by supplying arms, financing and terrorists." (http://www.associatedcontent.com, Dec. 29, 2008.)
Meanwhile, it seems that Hezbollah and Hamas share the same propagandists to advance their hatred of Israel and are willing to defraud the public and media in reaching their goal.

Subject: thanks for your letter
Letter for
Mr Michael Travis is a Intelligence analyst who has written for defence journals in the U.K., Europe, and Israel. He is currently a senior analyst for a U.S. based corporation.
In your article you just give the best explanation of the 11S, thanks really for that. Until now nobody never says any conections between 11S and Palestine, and you did. That is why 11S did happen, because Israel needs urgently a prove that they were under attacks, yes attacked by stones threw by children, then it happens, with a previous call to any person jew or from Israel to avoid reaching the building that day, and while it happens a group of students Mossad were jumping and chanting after 3000 people died, of course none was from Israel.
Thanks for the explanation and for your paper, I'll start to spread over. It is really clarify for many people.
Well, is she hot?
That's a guy's name.
Maybe his sister is hot though! (I love Latin women!)
That's a guy's name?
Well, if that's his name, he might be hot too.
Anyway, what good does it do to have fans who aren't hot chicks?
"I may not agree with what you say but I will defend your right to say it" All well and good until. . .
When will we start calling these protests for what they are? "IDF out of Palestine" "Free Palestine" though I detest the sentiment with every fiber is protected speech I would think.
Death to Jews, Gas the Jews, Jews to the ovens -- all heard here in America for Christ's sake -- is not. It rises to the level of hate speech and should be treated as such. Arrest those limp dicks witht the signs. Bust some heads. They need it and are certainly not afraid to bust pro-Israeli supporters. Check out this video at Atlas: http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2009/01/saturday-nigh-1.html
In one part a pro-Israeli supporter is asked why there are so few of them. His response: becuase most of us have jobs while they (Palestinian protestors) are mostly students.
Exactly, students who have no fucking idea what the true stories is because they are getting their news from the MSM and Kos and Huffington, who whip them into a frenzy. I'd bet more than a few have no grasp of what the issue is and just thinks it's cool to protest.
And some of it I've seen plain crosses the line into sedition. Wish I could rmemeber specifics when and where but there has been so much for the eyes and brain last few days.
In that video not the difference between protestors. Pro-Israel peaceful (until attacked) flags, a few slogans about hamas missles. Pro-Palestinian far more unhinged. Violent. One shitbird has the nerve to tell the cops to get rid of the Israeli flag bearers and is incensed when they don't. One of the Israeli supporters states it's the most hostile he's ever seen and is pretty spooked by it.
That, in America. That is where the Left Media has taken us. How they've "educated" our children.
Sam Adams, John Adams, Hancock, Jefferson et. al. are rolling in their graves, weeping over what is happening here in America. This is not the free speech they intended to protect.
Spit.
Travis is dead on here. Good on him.
We're fucked.
There is no way we will avoid a massive terror attack in this country. Sadly, it's the nature of human beings to do nothing, see nothing, say nothing until - how did Hooper in Jaws say it - "You'll ignore this problem until it swims up and bites you on the ass."
Then - I wouldn't want to be a muslim in this country.
WC,
Moderate Muslims are playing both sides of the fence. But it isn't going to work.
It will Nasty, brutish and short for them.
