Finally, Neda’s Staged “Killing” Exposed

by Scott Creighton

On June 24, 2009 I wrote an article called “Compare and Contrast: One is Real the Other is Fake” which explained how I thought the Neda killing in Iran was a staged attempt to ferment indignation in Iran and the rest of the world against the ruling party that had just won the election. It was yet another example of an attempt to overthrow a regime that was unfriendly to U.S. corporations and bankers probably devised by the CIA like so many in the past. I have done several stories on the Iranian Election Propaganda campaign that was designed to give cause to overthrow Iran.

Well, even some of my regulars here thought I had gone overboard on that one. But now there is a documentary out now showing clearer images of the entire thing and you can see it’s an obviously staged event. She’s got the tube of fake blood in her left hand and you can see her apply it to her own face after it squirts out a bit and runs down her hand and down her arm. She then drops the tube of fake blood and the doctor who helped stage the event tries to push it under her so the camera won’t see it. 

Then they had to restage the propaganda “money shot” sometime later and they screwed that up in a rushed effort to get it out and on the front page of every newspaper in the world while the story was breaking. Of course they had no real concern about it being an accurate recreation of the scenen since they already knew “journalists” like Andrew Sullivan were already in the bag.

Unfortunately for Neda, she was too young to realize that when people like this stage fraudulent “events” in order to try to install their neoliberal regime in a country, it doesn’t do to have the martyr of the revolution running around, so they probably killed her later… apparently by shooting her in the back. This gives you a little insight into the kinds of people who would help to install a neoliberal regime on the population of a nation (like our congress). They care about one thing and one thing only… money (like our congress).

Phony liberal pundits like Andrew Sullivan breathlessly blogged for weeks and weeks non-stop about how “poor little Neda” was killed by the big bad Mullah regime in Iran. But he has dutifully ”reported” on every single PR campaign story coming out of Iran and it’s CIA backed “Green Revolution”.  I wonder what he will say when he finds out that it was all a hoax and that Nada was actually killed, shot in the back, by neoliberal “friends of the West” in Iran. I wonder how “breathless” he will get about that? I guess the death of Nada is only meaningful to neoliberal sympathisers like Sullivan when it serves their overall agenda.

When Neda’s real death serves to expose the criminality and the brutality of those who work to usher in neoliberal “reform”, it isn’t so much of a story anymore.  At least that would be my guess as far as Andrew Sullivan is concerned. If that is true, after all his breathless propaganda about her obviously staged fake death scene, well then he might as well have shot the girl in the back himself. You see, without knowing that they had mouthpieces like Andrew Sullivan all ready to report their Neda story to the rest of the world and the blogs without really looking at it too closely, the people who planned this would never have done it.  So you can say, for all his weeping and gnashing of his teeth about “poor little Neda”, Andrew Sullivan did his part and therefore might as well have pulled the trigger himself.

I just became aware of the video evidence during Iran’s June 2009 election of Neda Agha-Soltan that shows her pouring a red substance over her own face that is caught by the video. I had to watch about six times to verify that I really did see Neda apply the “blood” to her face. This staged event ended with Neda’s real death; her autopsy reported her cause of death was a close-range shot to the back rather than the US corporate media report of sniper-fire to the chest. I couldn’t find confirmation in English of her autopsy and welcome reader links. I thank one of my favorite websites for the alert: What Really Happened.
