    Graphic footage of executed US journalist shown on giant TV screen in heart of Beijing

    Thursday evening in Beijing's downtown area – in the heart of Dongzhimen, and above one of the capital's busiest transport hubs – a giant cinema-sized TV screen beams out looped images of racially charged riots in Ferguson, Missouri and Islamic extremists preparing to execute US journalist James Foley.

    The footage of Foley comes in spite of concerted efforts throughout western media, and especially on Twitter, to censor images of the execution. Many media outlets have been moved to depict the courageous journalist as he was in life, not death: a dedicated and respected war reporter.

    I have no need to watch the video, as once was too many for me. However, I appreciate your post, as I'm forming the opinion that other countries (the powerful one's!!:eek:), are bending over backwards to publicly document the destruction of America. Why? To win the hearts and minds of THEIR people so they can "take care of 'can't mind it's own business,' and now-broken America." Well, a former Marine Officer happens to believe we're in lala land if we don't believe not one, but more than one superpower* could ABSOLUTELY "love each other" long enough to get together, and...well you can imagine the rest...:eek:


    * in the eyes of everyone but us, America is no longer a superpower. Now factor in that the world is seeing 24/7 constant images of America broken, and completely vulnerable, by their own government, as well as what they're getting via media and www, and this is the epitome "poster child for a recipe for disaster.":eek::(
