So, obviously, is ISIS.
ISIS is like the Lady Gaga of terrorists. Because they started out as the social media terrorists, with these staged, ridiculous Wag The Dog-like "terror" videos, they have to continue upping the game, getting more and more ridiculous each time a new one comes out.
Last time it was drowning people in James Bond-villainesque cages with sophisticated, Hollywood studio-level underwater camera rigs and blowing people's heads up with explosive necklaces.
Now, just in time for Halloween, it's little kids dressed like ISIS members threatening to cut President Obama's head off.
Via Daily Mail:
A child jihadi armed with a rocket-propelled grenade has threatened to behead 'Dog of Rome Obama' in a chilling new video released by ISIS.Is this the kid of someone high up in the ISIS chain so they promised his dad 15 minutes of fame?
The boy, who is only about ten-years-old, tells US President Barack Obama he is 'dreaming' if he thinks American soldiers will enter the large swathes of land the terror group controls.
With one finger pointed to the sky - a hand signal which has become synonymous with ISIS - he warns: 'Wake up from your sleep and pay the jiz' yah (religious tax) in submission before the swords of the khalifah (caliphate) reach you and cut your filthy head.'
The kid got it wrong anyway. It isn't America entering ISIS-controlled land anyway; it's Russia. America is too busy apologizing for blowing up Doctors Without Borders hospitals.
If this latest ISIS vid is meant to create more outrage against ISIS, it fails for being too silly to take serious. If it's meant to garner sympathy, the only thing people should feel sorry for watching it is the guy in charge of directing this reality TV show.
Be honest. Is anyone stateside still buying these psyops? They are just... too... ridiculous.
