Talk:Syrian Rebel Fakery

I almost started a more ambitious layout, but doing that on the back page first seems a good idea. I think this page could be quite useful if it managed to cover the spectrum of fakerysomewhat comprehensively. (Should we include, say, Forbes McKenzie? I think so...) (the claim is best covered under Houla) Below, some possible further headings and entries:


 * Fake Massacres
 * Summarize like so: Every insane massacre, especially of innocents, including children, that screams for foreign assistance to stop the bloodshed, should be carefully examined. Many of those reveal questions, discrepancies, and even strong signs of outright fakery, when given that scrutiny. Below are some of the more dubious alleged government massacres, with a brief explanation ...


 * Fake Witnesses
 * Ali Al-Sayed Well-enough illustrated, if not quite proven ...

Houla
Do you believe this? Very lucky cameraman to capture the shot of a (falling?) and exploding shell. Even luckier to stay alive. Or did he just position the camera on the tripod and wait for the shell to fall from the sky? -- Petri Krohn (talk) 06:19, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hula 10.12.2012 the moment of the fall of the shell capture location.
 * Here is another very lucky cameraman, but even he does not have precognition. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 12:20, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Duds? -- Petri Krohn (talk) 10:02, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hula a rocket that did not explode 10-12.
 * Hula scorpion shell of the aircraft did not explode viewed 6-12.
 * * Same "bomb" reused somewhere else... or here?
