The Devil's Excrement

Below I have added in yesterday’s post
some new pictures and text now that I understand better what I was sent
and I was seeing. But since many of you may not read that post again, I
thought I would make a special post of these two pictures, which in my
mind show the unethical behavior of the two Irish cinematographers who
made “The Revolution will not be televised”. You see, they have tried
to defend themselves in interviews about the inaccuracies by saying
nobody is perfect, blah, blah, blah. But, I am now convinced that they
were hired after the fact and given the material they produced by The
Venezuelan Government. I say this, because of the lies, their claim
they
were here doing the taping themselves, which has proven to be another
lie and the
fact that there are like three versions of the documentary floating
around, something uncommon for a low budget documentary. This was
certainly all financed by the Venezuelan Governmet.Thus the slant.

To the point. Below you will find the same image as in the post last
night, taken from “The revolution will not be televised”. This is the
famous image that has “convinced” people abroad that there was no march
going under the Puente El Llaguno when the Chavistas were caught
shooting from that bridge. Well, as shown below, the timeline was
altered in that movie to make their point. But what is worse, and even
more unethical, is that the frame on the right below, shows the identical frame from the original
movie. But see, they are quite different, because on the left, in the
frame from “The Revolution will not be televised” the frame was
“clipped” in order to be able to make the point they wanted to make.

On
the top left is a frame from the movie as shown everywhere, notice the
white parallel line close to the top. However, in the original movie
which is on the right, which the makers of “X-Ray of a lie” managed to
get a hold of, the field of view is much larger. In fact, it is so much
larger that it actually shows the police water cannon vehicle that was
at the front of the march. On the right what you see is that there are two parallel
lines, corresponding to two different streets which cut across Ave.
Baralt, of which only one as shown in the Irish movie. And right there,
on the second line, sitting on the middle of the street you see the
police vehicle coveniently “dissapeared” in order to make the point in
the movie that there was no march under the bridge. Of course not!
People were seeking refuge two blocks away behind the police water
vehicle as they were being shot at from the bridge! I blow up the
second street here so you can see the shadow of the vehicle in the
middle of the street and I hope to get better pictures soon:

But I am also told, in the original movie there is a guy shooting on
the right, which was conveniently erased from the Irish movie! Goebbels
and Stalin woudl have ben proud of the ability of the Irish
cinematographers to change history!

Thus, the Irish moviemakers did not only modify the timeline,
something they could have been fooled about, but they changed the
actual field of view and erased features from the video that would have
made it impossible for them to make the point they were trying to
prove. This is beyond unethical, this is outright lying, manipulative
and shows that these people have no scruples.
