“Reuters” faked images of Georgian victims allegedly killed by Russian attacks

How psychological warefare was used during the Caucasian War by western corporate media against Russia
Tlaxcala published these evidence weeks ago. It is time to realize the dimension of effect on our minds by modern media warfare.
On September 1 the European Union is going to meet in Brussell to debate sanctions against Russia who has been attacked by NATO-backed Georgia. On September 2 US Vice President Dick Cheney will arrive in Georgia to support this President Saakashvili who has started all this.
May the worldwide public not sleep this time.
A few days after these pictures had been analyzed by the Russian blog "Russia Insider" and the Serbian blog "Byzantine blog" as fake ones, staged by the photographer David Mdzinarishvili, some of them have been simply removed from the website of "Reuters". Here the deconstruction made by "Byzantine blog".
This (upper) photo was first published by the Reuters as an image of a "dead woman being carried from the town of Gori". But this "dead woman", incredibly, is clutching the nurse’s arm.

This man exhibiting rage and grief happens to sit in the exact same place where the earlier picture was taken: the same pile of garbage is behind his back and scraps of metal from the picture of a "dead" woman being 'rescued’ are lying around like in the earlier photo — plus some, additional, unidentified scraps of metal. What are these supposed to represent?

The caption Reuters gave to this photo is "Georgians stand next to the body of their son in the town of Gori". The woman is looking up towards the sky from where, presumably, death had stricken "her son".

But for the purposes of this photo the body of the "son" has been obviously moved quite a bit away from the curb. This was clearly not done in order to cover up the naked parts of the dead man’s body, nor to allow some measure of dignity to the dead. Was it done for the light? (One should challenge Reuters to find a mother — any mother — who would allow the body of her child to be dragged through dirt half naked like this, while she is taking instructions from a photographer where to stand, where to look and what to do next).
Then there are a few more photos of the male actor shown up above in the same area like the "dead woman".


And then, then there is a further actor, a female, who arrived in time on a bigger film set in Tbilisi.

And then, just like in Iraq (but only in the beginning), some supernumeraries (formerly called "people") would like to say "Thank you, Mr.Bush".

And of course, we also want to thank the academy…

You did a great job..

| Comment by meathook - 31 Aug 2008 - 20:08 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | I thought these pictures were fake the moment I saw them. What bullshit. I am so disgusted to be an American right now. This is what they want though, to make u s so sick that we give up.
Fuck the corporate media. |

| Comment by jimmer - 02 Sep 2008 - 08:53 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | About the pics with the man and woman "mourning their son"... why does it look l ike the father is trying to stab him with the pitchfork in both pictures?? Last time I saw a father grieve over his son by poking him with sharp tools was.... w ell.... never.
Always new reuter's was pure dumbfuckery |
| Comment by a. photographer - 02 Sep 2008 - 10:13 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | the two photos of the father and mother stood next to the dead son are in exactl y the same place, the body has not been moved, the prespective is just different , as the photographer will have used two different lenses, which will give the i llusion that the background has changed. the first image has been shot from much futher away with a telephoto lens, giving a shorter depth of feild, the second with a wide angle, that makes the background appear further away.
look at where the curb at the mans back is, exactly the same place. so unless yo u're suggesting that the road has been streched also, you're wrong on this one. |
| Comment by a-hypnos - 08 Sep 2008 - 05:50 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | re: a. photographer
What are you talking about? the body's not even facing the same direction. That' s not the same perspective at all. The first photo shows barely enough room for his "Mom" to sit between him and the curb, int h e2nd there's plenty of room.
That must be an expensive lens to not only distort light, but actual space, too! Who knew the photog field had such advanced equipment? |
