Neda: Don`t believe the War Porn Hype

There are indications that the “death” of the new born/died icon of Iranian Resistance has been staged.

First: I don´t care what you believe, or what you think. And I don´t wracking care where you live und what your political opinions might be.
I just know for sure that noone ever should attack another country. So let´s have a look at this…

Two videos have been made of this incident that created a war cry on the streets of Teheran. They appeared on youtube on Saturday the 20. I won´t show them in here, just let us call them video 1 and video 2.
Just watch them and keep your guts out of that.

Now, let´s suppose almost everyone in Teheran is running around with a camera handy. The two “cameraman” enter the scene from the same direction. If you check out the audio tracks scream of a woman you will find out that video 2 is approximately 9 seconds time-delayed to Video 1.
Means: video 2 starts at 0.09 seconds of video 1.

On the first pic of video 2 you see two men standing on the left viewer´s perspective . Given the fact that at this point of time cameraman 1 has a clear view of the person on the ground later called Neda, the one who is leaning back on his left leg must be the camera man of video 1.

You cannot see his face. And after the first pic of video 2 the cameraman is covering the camera´s eye until he gets near to the scene on the ground.
Well, in the heat of the moment some people might just cover half of a camera handy´s eye.

While cameraman 1 is able to shoot pictures of the person called Neda while she is rolling her eyes seconds 9-14 video 1 , cameraman 2 is able to catch her while looking straight just 4 seconds later. This picture second 9, video 2 became the blueprint of a cupple of Obama-style logos within days.

If I would be in the war porn industry I would call this “lucky shots”. That´s what you do for a living.

The blood on the leg and on the ground has obviously run out of her outerwear, the person is wearing a coat so it´s not from her back. On this CNN video she is seen with the male person who is said to be her father. He is wearing the same shirt. She is turning around as if to prove who she is. They are standing right beside an ongoing demonstration.
The words at youtube, video 2:

“Original source – Facebook: Basij shoots to death a young woman in Tehran’s Saturday June 20th protests At 19:05 June 20th Place: Karekar Ave., at the corner crossing Khosravi St. and Salehi st. A young woman who was standing aside with her father watching the protests was shot by a basij member hiding on the rooftop of a civilian house. He had clear shot at the girl and could not miss her. However, he aimed straight her heart. I am a doctor, so I rushed to try to save her. But the impact of the gunshot was so fierce that the bullet had blasted inside the victim’s chest, and she died in less than 2 minutes. The protests were going on about 1 kilometers away in the main street and some of the protesting crowd were running from tear gass used among them, towards Salehi St. The film is shot by my friend who was standing beside me. Please let the world know.”

So, she is seen at a demonstration but killed one “kilometer” away. Hmmm. A doctor is at the scene and “tries to save her”. Well – where is he on the videos?
Cameraman 2 is said to be the friend of the doctor. A remarkable bunch of coincidences.
Cameraman 1 is standing quite relaxed, he is using both hands. That´s not typical if you use just a camera handy.

There are a lot of reports about the person called Neda. One of the latest is by the BBC, where her “fiance, Caspian Makan” tells us that

“she was near the area, a few streets away, from where the main protests were taking place, near the Amir-Abad area. She was with her music teacher, sitting in a car and stuck in traffic. She was feeling very tired and very hot. She got out of the car for just for a few minutes. And that’s when it all happened.”

Leaving aside all other contradictions considering order of events, identities of involved persons, etc – it´s highly unlikely that the person seen on the BBC photograph is sixteen or even eighteen years old.

To me, as an artist, there is no accidental appearance of highly emotionalizing material in the media. You always have to pay for it. At least someone has to, especially in war times.

Do not let the people of Iran, Germany, the USA, or any other country pay the price for this.
