Pentagon is more likely than Hollywood. Shorter flight too.

Caligula without a doubt!

Anyhow, whoever they (probably mercenaries like there dad/brother al Qaeda...killing for the highest bidder) are and whoever takes them out, I don't think they'll be missed.

Does anything in this photo strike you as weird? It almost looks like they have makeup on. WTH.

Look at the shaddows under the chins of both men and tell me there isn't two suns!?
I call BS on this Hollywood production Ep. (insert number) whatever.
Roll on the further enslavement bills/ laws, etc. Join the show!

If it weren't so sad, I'd be laughing.
They're not even hiding it any more. It's a joke.
The grant finale must be closing because I am really getting bored of this show!

Good catch, two different lighting sources for sure, or at least a photoshop reversal of some kind. Odd. Someone in their outfit could get fired over this kind of mistake (and by fired, I mean literally).

Yes we have had so many end of the world scenarios fed to us, when the real one comes along, nobody will believe it.
Yes its a joke, a sick disgusting joke, if I didnt laugh at the obviousness of it, Id start ranting.
You dont want to make me start ranting. You wouldnt like me when I start ranting.

Yep. The thing that puzzles me most is that many of these people have already been captive for months and we didn't know it. Has our intelligence failed miserably? Are they (more likely) just not telling us? Or trying to free them? Maybe i haven't been paying enough attention, but it sure seems that so much of this is so foggy and that ISIS is getting away with a lot.

have you seen the size of Syria, combined with northern Iraq? dirt hills and mountains, dirt valleys and plains, for thousands of square miles....no man's land, as far as any credible intel being available...

And we are led to believe the USA has satellites that can compare the sizes of penises on ants.
The amount they spend on defense you would bloody hope so.
You are telling me teenagers from the UK can run away from home, some carrying their babies with them, and insert themselves into ISIS via turkey, but yet our highly trained special forces(deep undercover) agents cannot?
Im certainly not buying that, not for an instant.

Of course it's photoshopped. Why would ISIS cowards drive into the desert where they could get killed or the captives escape. Why shoot pics in the desert with wind and dust when you can be nice and safe and dust free in a basement.

Photoshop does not mean "Its faked by the US"
Photoshop means - lazy and convenient.

Real one? Haha!
Nothing is real my friend.
The more you see the less you find..

Sorry I haven't been paying attention. When did the little man with the glowing teeth in the box in the corner of the living room start telling the truth?

I thought it was just entertainment!?

Oops! my bad, I need to buy a TV


Actually what you or I say here means very little.

We are just gratifying our egos here.

geez, maybe they just held up a white sheet of something to better show the faces of the prisoners...these people are sadistic animals, but they are media savvy.

Take a look at the bigger picture. Problem, reaction, solution.
Need say any more.

The whole screenshot looks weird, the middle guy has this weird black outline to him, it doesn't really make sense if it were a real place.
Also the lighting on the two hostages faces is coming from two different directions, which doesn't make sense as sunlight only comes in one directions usually.

Has anyone seen Iron man 3? The whole mandarin thing in it? This is what i'm being reminded of.

sunlight does come from one direction but the objects illuminated by it can be at different angles, so the separate 'objects' can have shadows going in different directions. in this case the sun appears to be in front and slightly to our left of the 3 people/objects. This is confirmed from versions of the photo that are not cropped and show the legs of all 3 men. The chubbier hostage's body , hips and shoulders are turned slightly toward the sun which gives him a slightly lighter shadow to the right side of his face but not his left cheek as this in angled toward the sun.

as for the skin looking 'weird' to some people, they are pale Japanese men in a hot desert so their cheeks are flushed, then there is the quality of the film and compression artefacts that will come from saving the image, colours and contrast (such as black areas in strong light) are often distorted and can look exaggerated.
I don't know much about 'green screen' but I think compression and image quality are probably responsible for many things people think look weird.
the only thing i think seems fake about these videos is cutting away when they kill people, unless our media edit it out?

SO ...if NINJAS are INDEED real...

Not 2 lighting sources just the sun, look up the uncropped picture showing the whole body shadows, the sun is in front and the hostages are at slightly different angles to IT.

Draw and quarter the extremist on live satellite feed. I would want the whole world to watch. This is what you get when you become an extremist. I'll call it Shock and Awe 2.5. That is if it's really true.

Sometimes, I think someone is pulling in allies to offset the cost of fighting this problem they created. Who's they? You already know who it is. I'll probably never know the whole truth but I'm sure it's not the line they feed us on the news.

I'm still trying to think why anyone would assume a country like Japan would be dumb enough to consider springing adults that traveled of their own free will to play mercenary and war journalist in a known unstable part of the world. Anyone with a bit of sense knows your life is at risk doing that stuff. Even though they're now caught in a bad situation and being used as bargaining chips, I would think much responsibility for this still lies with the individuals involved. To the kind of mindset often seen in Asia, letting the terrorists have their way with these two would probably make a good example to anyone else with similarly stupid aspirations. (Unless something surprising happens, I don't think we'll be seeing those two again.)

I can't be that wrong in this observation, can I?

Im losing sight of who the extremists are here.

The Japanese are questioning the validity of this video.
