The latest video offering from the Islamic State (IS) purports to show a series of graphic and torturous methods in killing prisoners, alleged “spies” which include drowning, burning alive by firing at a car with an RPG and decapitation by explosives. The video is in Arabic with no English subtitles however SITE INTEL that monitors jihadi and white supremacist groups states the video is from the Ninawa division of the Islamic State (IS).

Alleged CIA torture

Ironically the IS video is released on the same day as international human rights organizations attempt to hold the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) accountable for torture as follows,

“Human Rights Watch, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Amnesty International called on United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch in a June 23, 2015 letter to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate torture and other violations of US law in connection with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)’s detention and interrogation program. The letter was attached to petitions signed by 111,788 concerned individuals supporting appointment of a special prosecutor” see following link,

The 7 minute 30 second video in Arabic starts by showing dead body parts in the rubble possibly an air attack and moves on to an injured man and child. A number of prisoners are then interviewed wearing the familiar orange jumpsuits. They are later escorted, hands behind back to a car where an IS militant is seen firing an RPG from several angle shots. The car ignites burning occupants alive in much the same way as a US drone strike incinerates a vehicle and those inside. The same nasheed chants feature as in the video showing the burning of the Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kaseasbeh.

More prisoners are interviewed and the film cuts to a metal cage in which 5 men are placed which is then secured with padlocks. There is the sound of a metal hoist lowering the cage toward the water, a camera is evident within the bars. The cage is fully submerged and desperate sounds of drowning men can be heard. The contraption is then lifted out of the water, the men are seen lying on top on one another, some with heads through the bars. There are close-ups of dead and dying prisoners with froth and fluids erupting gurgling from the mouth. The suffering is similar to that seen in videos where detainees are waterboarded, submerged almost to point of drowning, a regular practice of CIA and allies.

The video then moves to another group of 7 prisoners that are shown being bound with what appears to be electrical cable, some heads are then blown from their bodies with close up shots of decapitation. Again this is something which is observed after US drone strikes where bodies are decapitated, burnt and blown apart including women and children. The methods may be different but the result is often the same. The last shot is of one man alive dressed in an orange jumpsuit surveilling the scene of devastation.

    You are a fucking retard. Stupid ass!! Not even the fucking same. Did you have anybody die on 9/11?

    People like you are gosh dam pitiful

    Do you have a son/daughter in military? Hell no, why? Because I bet my white ass your single, homely, ugly ass fat broad that never got laid. How’s the single life lady? Get use to it….ur facing it for rest of your life

    • Thanks for your comment. No I have no son or daughter in the military. The sister of a friend did die in 9/11, the person left US for good disgusted with their foreign policy and is now in Ireland. Its a pity you feel unable to debate the issue as opposed to just name calling. I was very happily married until the state (US, UK) unlawfully killed two of my family, as my lawyer said, western so called “human rights” leave a lot to be desired. Just look at hypocrisy of US calling for other countries to uphold “truth and justice” while they torture people. You might care to read the letter from the American Bar Association (legal body) calling for prosecution of the CIA and the letters of international human rights groups, so much for equality, some seem to be forever above the law!

  2. How To Deal With CIA-ISIS Army
    Notice how the evil CIA (satanist colony) is using Americans’ tax dollars in funding and promoting ISIS-ISIL to further more bloody barbarism in the Middle East in their insane quest to start World War 3. That is because the Elite controlling the Federal Government WANT WW3, and they WANT America destroyed!!! But YOU have a counterattack, after all this is still a “Free Country,” right? You can easily find CIA officers’ home addresses in America, and then you can deal with them!!! Consider the alternative to you doing nothing– eventual national destruction.

    The 2 links above show the lengths IS will go to to support their terror campaign. Nearly all wars today are based on peoples religious differences. Religion was originally invented to give people explanations of natural phenomena and to create a common set of rules people should live by to create stability and peace. We can’t live by rules that were made for people living thousands of years ago. We have a well functioning judicial system now that sets the rules and takes care of criminals, ans we can rely on science now to explain what we otherwise don’t understand. Religions are now superfluous , and we have scientists to give us answers for the unexplainable.
    So we need to start working together to create peace and stability rather than fighting over interpretations of religious books that are no longer suited for modern society.

    • On the contrary I have had the opportunity to test out the judicial system numerous times in both US and UK and found it sadly lacking. Judicial system lets people down on a regular basis especially when the state or major institutions are taken on through the courts. Humans are flawed, mistakes are made corruption is evident in some cases.

      Islam and science have often gone together see “The greatest scientific advances from the Muslim world” http://www.theguardian.com/science/2010/feb/01/islamic-science

      For many people who have suffered huge losses in life religion is their one hope, what keeps them going, what they live by… it would be cruel to try to crush that too!
