Prometheus Found?
Edited on Tue Feb-15-05 03:04 PM by DulceDecorum
JeffJames GannonGuckert looks a lot like Nick Berg.
Not the one in the beheading photos. No-one looks like that.

The TV pictures and still images of a captive Nicholas Berg were nothing like the man I met. His skin was pale, his youthful beard thick and sculpted, and he seemed smaller.

I mean the Nick Berg BEFORE he got killed.
And the resumes of both men have surprising parallels.

OK, So today I went out and looked for male escorts.
So sue me.

I checked into Prometheus
and I think I found Nick.

And here is Prometheus.

2. that's horrifying
Nick Berg was a reporter who risked and gave his life for your right to know something about what was happening in the Islamic world. This invented comparison between the two is reprehensible.

6. oh really?

He claimed to be something else.

15. Danny Perle
was the journalist that was killed in Pakistan.

Funny, they just fired Eason from CNN for telling the truth about the targetting of journalists. Funny how the MSM did nothing to defend him and they are bending over backwards to cover Gannon.

17. that CNN thing is ridiculous
how the guy could be fired for that is beyond me. I blame CNN for backing down. If media outlets don't have courage, we forsake any semblance of a free press.
The coverage I've seen on television of the Gannon story has been largely to gloss over the circumstances of his presence in the White House. They simply equate him with bloggers and "opinion journalists" and thus miss the implications of his presence at those news conferences. He was clearly part of a concerted effort by the Bush administration to create a fraudulent press corps to distort the public's access to information about their policies. Armstrong is part of that same effort.

20. They are part of the White House Propaganda Machine
and for the WH to diseminate propaganda is criminal.

29. Berg One or Berg Two?
The TV pictures and still images of a captive Nicholas Berg were nothing like the man I met. His skin was pale, his youthful beard thick and sculpted, and he seemed smaller.

11. Ok, is this, like, the official incoherent insane people thread?
What the fuck? I mean, really, what the fuck?

Nick Berg is Jeff Gannon? Or...huh? And if you state the simple fact Nick Berg was not a journalist you have "indicted" Nick Berg just because he got his head cut off?

What the hell, people? But, please, continue. I see this becoming very amusing.

"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call ... THE TWILIGHT ZONE."

23. The Twilight Zone
The text that follows is a direct cut and paste from the 107th Congressional Record for 03/05/02, page H676, found using Thomas — the text can be easily located using the Thomas Text Search System and searching for "Twilight."

The SPEAKER pro tempore. "Under a previous order of the House, the gentlewoman from Georgia (Ms. MCKINNEY) is recognized for 5 minutes."

Ms. McKINNEY. "Mr. Speaker, I am worried about what is happening to our great country today. I fear that many of us cannot see what is happening here. Maybe we are too close. Maybe there are even people who do not want us to see; but our friends and allies in Europe and elsewhere are reporting that they are seeing disturbing developments in our country, like the fading of our fundamental constitutional rights, the creation of a war machine that threatens world peace, the spending of a generation of Americans on this war on terrorism, and even an attack on truth in government by forming the Office of Strategic Influence to lie to us and to the rest of the world. The President even asked Hollywood to make these developments palatable to the American people.
<snip>

We are moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. Welcome. We just crossed over into the Twilight Zone, otherwise known as George Bush's America. For it is here and only here that the White House could receive warning after warning of massive attacks that were going to take place on American soil, the attack happens, and both the President and the Vice President, in separate phone calls to TOM DASCHLE, ask that Congress not investigate what happened and why. That could only happen in the Twilight Zone.

28. And speaking of cloned behavior....
Most of the speculation about (Armstrong) Williams’s not-so-secret life comes from a 1997 sexual-harassment lawsuit filed by a former male employee of Williams’s media company.

Williams met the employee, Stephen Gregory, in 1994, when Gregory was 25 years old, and a trainer at a local gym Williams frequented.

Williams first recruited Gregory as a volunteer, and later hired the workout trainer as a media producer in late 1995, keeping him on, even though he had little media experience.

According to media reports, other employees in Williams’s company complained that Gregory did not show up for work on time, and that he tried to take credit for work done by others.

In 1996, Gregory was arrested for distributing narcotics while on a vacation in Jamaica.

The suit, filed by a former attorney for the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, alleged that Williams repeatedly kissed Gregory; grabbed his buttocks and genitals; and manipulated him into taking out-of-town trips, where they shared the same hotel room, and Williams would crawl into Gregory’s bed.

On at least one occasion, Williams allegedly displayed his penis to Gregory, and asked him to examine it.

As well, the suit states that Gregory resisted these advances, was fired after just nine months on the job, and filed his harassment suit shortly thereafter.

The lawsuit eventually was settled out of court, based on undisclosed terms. Gregory moved to a job on Oliver North’s radio program.

Jeff Gannon.

25. LOL
Then there is more than a passing resemblance
between Nick Berg,
and Prometheus.

Tsunami, eh?
Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays?
Whose world did he rock?

30. I don't know, but
the two side views have some slight but telling differences. Check the ear angle with regard to the nose, and a chin difference.

Could just be this low-res monitor, but I don't see a convincing resemblance.
