Sky News uses footage of ruins of South Ossetian capital, Tskhinvali, says it is Georgia’s key town of Gori
Pravda
Saturday, Aug 16, 2008
Sky New lies giving ruins of South Ossetian capital, Tskhinvali, for Georgia’s key town of Gori, which they say Russian bombed.
The channel simply used the footage of Tskhinvali, which was literally ruined as a result of Georgia’s attacks, to make reports about the situation in the town of Gori, which the Russian aviation supposedly bombed.
Pravda.ru journalists concluded that the footage of destruction, fires and crying civilians used by Sky News in its Gori report was identical to the footage aired by Russian TV channel Zvezda (Star) when it reported about Tskhinvali.
(Article continues below)
On Wednesday, Sky News made a report about Russian tanks supposedly advancing towards Georgia’s Gori (the information was subsequently rebutted). The company aired the footage, which showed that the small town had been destroyed.
Georgian authorities and Western media outlets previously said that the Russian aviation had bombed Gori, which led to numerous casualties. Russia strongly rejected those statements.
The footage aired by the British TV channel was preceded with a picture of a road sign displaying the name of the town – Gori – written in Georgian and English languages. The report also said that a Sky News correspondent was reporting from the Georgian town.
However, the footage that followed the picture of the road sign was fake.
Russia ’s TV channel Zvezda, which has five camera crews working in Tskhinvali, aired the same footage two days before, on Monday. Sky News showed its report with no sound, whereas the people showed in the Russian report could be heard speaking Russian and Ossetian languages. The crying people shown in the report were heard cursing Georgian President Saakashvili for destructions and manslaughter.
Pravda.ru managed to find the reports of Sky News and Zvezda. Watch and compare for yourself.

Murdoch is Blair’s main worldwide media partner, although in the UK itself, the Guardian, BBC, and ITN (which includes Channel 4 news) are far more influential than Sky, or the Times.
When Sky makes a mistake, it is more often because (unlike Fox News) it is a shoestring operation, of no significance, and therefore has little to no quality control. Yes, Sky is biased, but in the scheme of things, has zero influence.
The story of Murdoch and Blair is a vastly interesting one, and reveals the real truth between the zionist (Murdoch is a jew, of course) control of the mainstream media, and the use to which this control is put. When Thatcher was in power, Murdoch was a bulwark against the opposition Labour party. When Blair final disposed (literally) of his last opponent, John Smith, and took New Labour into power, Murdoch was the most important (ghost) member of Blair’s cabinet.
Today, as in the USA, the two party system has died here. Third party prospects have been completely sabotaged (more significant here, since logically the Liberal Party should have gained all the benefit of the UK populace coming to loathe the monster Blair. Those that control Labour and the Conservatives are the same entity, following exactly the same agenda. At a local council level, the mechanism of ensuring that who ever you vote for the same people run things even has a name COMMON PURPOSE.
If you are still reading, COMMON PURPOSE is the organisation that seeks to ensure all leaders of all political parties, NGO’s, charities, unions, etc all follow the same doctrine. The idea is that no matter what person is given power by some kind of vote by ordinary people, that person is COMMON PURPOSE. This should sound familiar, since it was the form of ‘democracy’ in soviet Russia, and is the form of ‘democracy’ in communist China.
And to you yanks, COMMON PURPOSE is a global organisation, with many disguises. Its stated goal is to eliminate the freedom for ordinary people to choose the options that affect their lives. Every likely successful candidate, no matter what their label, is to be a COMMON PURPOSE loyalist. This means, of course, that those that choose candidates in various political and non-political organisations must themselves be COMMON PURPOSE. This infiltration is not only ‘legal’, it is massively funded by the government of the UK, and increasingly other nations across the Earth.
COMMON PURPOSE is never intended to replicate the communist parties of totalitarian states. It is intended to be a much more discrete ‘elite’ mechanism, choosing and training every possible candidate for a high rank future. Its purpose if fulfilled when it nullifies the ‘danger’ of ‘democratic’ voting. Think of Henry Ford’s famous proclamation “you can have any colour you like, so long as it is black” to get the idea.

It looks like YouTube have taken it down, probably in an attempt to cover up Sky News’ lies.
August 16th, 2008 at 8:18 am
the first video is no longer available so I can’t compare.

All these people who are sensoring YOUTUBE videos. Judgement Day is comming.
Your days are numberd. Wake up and realize you will have to answer for everything you have done in this world. You are complicit in murdering GOD’s children.
This is not something you want to pass off lightly. God’s vengence is something you never want to be subject to.

Actions always speak where words fail. Our childish president and his diaper changers have flipped on actions however their words are the same in regards to attempting to seem “tough” on Russians behavior.
The facts seem to be that Georgia and the US were involved in flat out murder, “big surprise”, and that even thought we have been told by our…”clearing my throat”… media coverage that Russian military are the bad guys the proof is leaking out at alarming rates.
I prefer “media coverage-up” as all of the big networks are geared for telling lies to the sheep who are already dummed down so severely that they will willingly walk into the FEMA Camps when things collapse as they will be told that food and medicine are there for those that need it and all are welcome. Pictures cows at the slaughter houses with feed on the floor leading through the door.
For those of that you have not read it here is a good link that is well written and provides some horrible truth: http://www.rense.com/general83/neo.htm
Check it out and share this with those that can handle the truth. We are looking at the beginning of the end and the Zionist Media will lie right up until the end and we may all wake up soon day soon and see mushroom clouds.

As an outside observer, being neither Russian, Georgian, Ossetian or Abkhazian, I can neither choose sides nor apportion blame. But I can say for a fact that the majority of the Georgian people did not want a war with Russia or any one else for that matter, just as I can guarantee that the majority of Russian people did not want a war with Georgia or any one else. The same would be true of the Ossetians and the Abkhazians. I am also pretty sure that the majority of Americans wish that Bush, Rice and Cheney would just shut up and stop picking fights with everyone else who lives on planet earth.
The majority of people are quite content to live their lives, making ends meet, spending time with their children, family, friends and loved ones. The majority of people are happy to live in peace with those along side of themselves, no matter their Religion, colour, creed or ethnic background.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of politicians who seem hell bent on creating wars, causing death and destruction, mayhem and misery all across the world to fulfill their selfish need for power and control. Politicians do not give a moments thought to those who died or to the misery caused by their quest for self gratification.
History holds many lessons from which we could learn. By digging through America’s past dealings in the name of democracy would be a wake up call for anyone who may be mistakenly led to believe that the USA is their friend.
Remember Fidel Castro:
Supported by the CIA he took control of Cuba. When he refused to do as he was told, the US government tried to remove him with a CIA-trained incursion at the Bay of Pigs. Placed on the Neocon hitlist, the CIA has attempted to assassinate Castro 638 times.
Remember Manuel Noriega:
Employed by the CIA and supported by the USA on the grounds of Panama’s democratic principles. His country invaded by US forces, he was abducted to the USA, humiliated and sentenced to 40 years in an American jail for running drugs.
Remember Ossama Bin Laden:
Trained by the CIA as an operative against Russia in Afghanistan and supplied with American weapons and rocket launchers. Once he had served his purpose he was put on the Neocon hitlist, now the most wanted man on the Planet.
Remember Saddam Hussain:
Brought to power through CIA black ops in Iraq. Funded by the US to buy armaments and supplied with US made chemical weapons. Then placed on the Neocon hitlist once he had served his purpose. His country invaded by US forces under false pretence (Weapons of mass destruction). Captured, humiliated, then executed.
Remember Radovan Karadzic:
The US Funded the purchase of armaments for the Serbs via Belgrade Banks while simultaneously covertly airlifting weapons to Croatia and Bosnia. Once he had served his purpose he was placed on the Neocon hitlist. Recently arrested and now on trial for war crimes.
There are many more, too many to list here. But history has a strange way of repeating itself where the Neocons are involved. This is their modus operandi. And If I were any of you, I would choose my friends very carefully indeed.
(Maybe just get rid of all the politicians so we can all live in peace for a change)

New Cost-Cutter for Devellopers
Joe Bilderberg, A.P.
New York, N.Y.
2008-08-17
Representatives from the “Builders Association of New York City” claim that controlled demolitions are a totally unnecessary expense for the removal of buildings. According to association officials, controlled demolitions are extremely expensive, that this expense can be avoided, and that these savings in costs could be passed on to the developer and ultimately on to the consumer.
The Association’s engineers claim that buildings, especially the highest of skyscrapers, can be more efficiently reduced to rubble simply by crashing airplanes into them or by merely igniting fires randomly within the buildings. The specialists insist that the entire controlled demolition industry is a fraud and that consumers shouldn’t have to keep forking out such huge fees for these absolutely unnecessary services.
The Builder’s Association has presented its proposal to the New York City Building Department along with ample evidence to prove that their claims are true. They make their case using as evidence the three building collapses which took place at the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001. According to the proposal, the spontaneous collapses of WTC 1, 2 and 7 were as fast, as symmetrical and as efficient as has ever been any controlled demolition throughout history. The report even denotes that the random spontaneous collapses on 9/ll could be classified as “perfect” controlled demolitions. Therefore, the Builder’s Association claims to have all the proof it needs to demonstrate that consumers have been paying for controlled demolitions unnecessarily and that this fraudulent practice must come to a stop immediately.

I learned in the mid 1960s that the USA has a long history of genocide, oppression, and severe exploitation against the vulnerable peoples of Third World countries. Even before the USA had finished slaughtering most of the Native Americans and taken their land, the USA was already using the doctrine of ‘Manifest Destiny’ to slaughter Native peoples throughout Latin America and take THEIR land also. ‘Manifest Destiny’ is a home-grown US philosophy of foreign policy that essentially means “foreigners don’t own their own birthright — the USA does.”
How many Americans are aware that the USA was the chief supporter of the murderous Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, and that many millions of US tax dollars were spent on weapons and supplies for the Khmer Rouge while they were busy slaughtering 3 million Cambodians?
http://www.thirdworldtraveler......olPot.html
This has always been my main gripe against the USA: the double standard of treating US citizens relatively well, while treating poor, vulnerable foreigners like dogshit. I don’t care how well off we are in the USA; we can get Universal Health Care, college tuition for all, develop unlimited cheap green energy, and raise the minimum wage to $25 an hour, but as long as we continue to rip off, enslave, and murder vulnerable people in foreign countries, the USA will never get my stamp of approval.

Good post Ghost_Ryder, just goes to show how ridiculous it is for countries such as the USA and Georgia to continue calling themselves a Democratic nation when the wishes of the majority of the people are dismissed so easily. I think we should write our congressmen to call a new Continental Congress and reset the Constitution to be closer to the way it was when first written. The parties need to be dissolved, politicians stripped of their power, the federal government needs to go back to being a very limited entity with no power over the states or citizens, the Federal Reserve should be dissolved, the states need to be given their sovereignty back, and the people need to be given their sovereign Citizenship back. The citizens need to go back to being governed by the State Constitutions that they put in place themselves, and the Constitution needs to go back to applying to the federal government. I want to be a Citizen of the United States of America under the Constitution of the great State of California, not property of the US government. My rights should be the inalienable ones from under the Declaration of Independence as given by (and can only be taken away by) God. They shouldn’t be the ones from the Constitution’s civil rights movements, which were given by (and can be taken away by) the US government. Somewhere along the way they got switched and we got duped. Yes, reverting to true Democracy means more individual responsibility, but it also means more freedom, which is what we’re all about, right? Grow up America, it’s time to take care of yourself.
Look at your driver’s license, your social security card, your registration for your car or gun, your mortgage, your deed, your taxes, any type of contract you have with the government.
Is your name in ALL CAPS? Then you are a voluntary slave, volunteered by your parents or yourself, as their parents did for them. You are property of the US government and waived all your rights as given by the State and the Declaration. You are (or represent) an artificial person as symbolized by your name in CAPS, meaning you are owned. And its all done legally. Which is why the Constitution now applies to US citizens (with a lowercase ‘c’), when it was originally designed to only apply to the federal government. Which is why we are now all responsible for the governments debt, i.e. taxes.

Yo, Grisham:
Beat you to it. My firm will take down a steel frame skyscraper at a fraction of the cost you would pay an outfit like the Loizeaux family’s Controlled Demolition of Maryand.
My small team of untrained and illiterate illegals will just set some petrol or kerosene fires in the buildings and wait for them to collapse into a pile of dust on their own footprint after a few hours.
We haven’t gotten any work yet, and so we haven’t actually brought down any buildings with this method, but we have it from the best authority — the official 9/11 Investigation Committee — that our method is guaranteed to work like a charm. And if you can’t believe a bona-fide US government Committee, who the Heck can you believe?

Australian Knight of the British Empire Rupert Murdoch owns Fox News, Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones. Murdoch’s media mafia empire, including Sky TV, has been owned by Communist China since 1999, when Murdoch married Deng Wen Di, aka Wendi Deng, who is a citizen of Commie China. The Murdochs live in Bejing. Commie Manifesto forbids ownership of private property, and requires govt control of communications.

Here in Europe, especially scandinavia we get neutral news based on facts and not on political bias. we are in fact astonished how the land of “the brave and the free” is so easily manipulated by your main stream media and above all, that americans, once known for their inventivness have not come up with alternative news media sources to fill the gap caused by your current “ministry of truth”. Such things cannot happen in scandinavia due to a very strong constituion which all politicans here fear and respect.
Now concerning the situation in Georgia, if you really want to know the true cause behind the war and what really happened I suggest you go to this link http://www.tbrnews.org/Archives/a2867.htm
and read carefully. these facts has yet to hit the american public and if they did I guess you would get tired of your president and start a second amrican revolution. (look here for his latest alcoholic adventures http://gawker.com/5035885/bush.....e-olympics while american soldiers die for him, cheney and that hell bitch C. rice in iraq, afganistan and soon Iran).
In Sweden we really feel sorry for all amercian families that have lost relatives in the Bush regimes depthless desire to make war where peaceful negotitions would be a better alternative. We truly hope someone like John F kennedy will some day seek to be come president and with his values re transform your nation into a once again glorious nation with that american good spirit so many nations around the world envied.
You have my best hopes.

Georgian’s need to be very afraid of the American involvement in their country. The whole episode reeks of a classic Neocon takeover bid using their tried and tested 5 step plan.
1. Use the CIA to place a stooge chosen by the Neocon’s in power, preferably US educated.
2. Pledge allegiance to said stooge in the name of democracy and use the National Endowment for Democracy to arm said stooge to the teeth.
3. Use US military advisors to promote said stooge’s self confidence and push stooge into starting a full scale war with it’s immediate neighbors.
4. Broker a cease-fire which favors the Neocon plan for the region and offer American assistance to rebuild damage caused by the conflict.
5. Once US companies are fully embedded into said region eliminate said stooge, take total control by any means necessary and rape said region of it’s resources.
If you need proof of the results of the 5 step plan take a good hard look at look at Iraq, the country has been completely decimated and it was all done in the name of “democracy” and “freedom”. Is that really what you want for your country. The Neocon’s want your oil pipeline and they will stop at nothing to get it. Georgian’s you need to stand up NOW and protect what is yours before you lose it forever!
It is further interesting to note that Neocon created wars in the last 10 years have killed more people than both the 1st and 2nd world wars together. The majority of those that have been killed by US and NATO forces in these Neocon created wars have been innocent civilians.
Yugoslavia: Estimated 200,000 Serb civilians.
Iraq: Estimated 1.5 million civilians and counting.
Afganistan: Estimated 500,000 civilians and counting.
There are countless others, this is a deliberate and systematic extermination of the human race carried out under the banner of democracy and freedom.
Please do not let Georgia, South Ossetia, Abkhazia or any other neighboring country become another statistic in the ever growing list of innocent men, women and children murdered in the Neocons quest for world domination.
