USA TodayThe terror group Islamic State has released a video apparently depicting the beheading of American journalist Steven Sotloff.
Sotloff, kneeling, says he is “paying the price” for the U.S. intervention in Iraq with his life.
“You’ve spent billions of U.S. tax payers dollars and we’ve lost thousands of our troops in our previous fighting against the Islamic State,” Sotfloff says. “So where is the people’s interest in reigniting this war?”
Moments later, a man dressed in black blames Obama moments before beheading Sotloff.
“I’m back, Obama, and I’m back because of your arrogant foreign policy towards the Islamic State,” the man says.
Sotloff was kidnapped August 4, 2013 near Aleppo, after crossing the Syrian border from Turkey.
Sotloff filed stories on a freelance basis with numerous publications, including Timeand Foreign Policy, and remained moderately active on social media. One video shows him on the streets of Aleppo as a bomber flies overhead.
Like many freelancers in the region, he was drawn to hottest stories, regardless of the risks. He lists Benghazi, Libya, as his residence on social media and reported vigorously about the fatal U.S. Embassy attack in the city in late 2012, appearing on Fox News to offer his account and report on his interviews with guards at the compound.
Sorry, but this came to me, I found the clip and now sharing it…I have too much time on my hands 🙂 What a friggin circus…
Its only 30 seconds long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wafhDIMU6w
Oy vey! The chutzpah of these “extremists”! Steven Sotloff sounds like he should be my lawyer, dentist or accountant?! I could only find still shots on the usatoday link. No video. Hard to say I believe this one either considering his background and the propensity of those involved to support is-real-hell and their terror campaign of fakery they have unleashed upon us.
At least they’re playing it a bit smarter this time by not having the video available to the public to view and criticize. These “victims” are way too calm and extraordinarily cooperative with their “terrorist” captors. Who the hell is going to kneel and recite lines for jihadists that are going to decapitate them right after?!? I’m not a doctor or an expert, but I would be willing to bet that dying from gun fire would be a lot quicker and less painful than having one’s head slowly cut off with a knife.

@Sunfire this one seems as fake to me as the foley video
I’ve already seen 3 different articles calling this another fake.
Far likelier than not.
Ho hum, another false flag.
