#14  The commentary on the main page of the site has "barking moonbat conspiracy" written all over it:

Read Carefully

If you’ve found me, you’ve seen the clip and you’re someone willing to dig a little deeper. You’ve taken the first step. I hope you’re willing to take a few more.

My name is Eric Bruderton. I work in a high-security job but I can’t tell you where. The fact that you are reading this has already put my job, and possibly my life, in jeopardy. But just as I know the possible consequences, I also know I have a responsibility that extends beyond my job and my oath.

You’ve probably come here for answers about the clip. I wish I could give them to you. I don’t know these people, I don’t know who’s shooting at them and I don’t know why they are being targeted. I don’t even know where they are. Maybe the Middle East. All I do know is that it’s important. Important enough that by the time you’ve read this, Eric Bruderton will likely have been erased from existence, both literally and figuratively.

Here’s the link to the clip. Watch it. Show it to your friends. I hope that someone will be able to shed some light on it.

When enough people know a secret, it stops being a secret. Help stop this one.


I'll leave the fisking of this to others.

#13  Haven't checked the link, so this is kind of a stab in the dark. If you stop the video and just look at still frame, does the projectile have the name Estes on the side of it?

#12  Definitely a fake, probably a film project by an American student working in India. The intonation, volume,and diction of the voices are completely wrong for combat, but about right for a college lab theater stage; the vehicle pictured at the beginning is a civilian Jeep, and the writing is Hindi.

#11  Re post # 5 - I'm not a Hindi linguist but that looked like Hindi to me. It was not Arabic (never been to India but have been to every country, except Iran- yet !, in the Middle East). It looked like a wannabe Bollywood film student project. Sorry about the g-friend Mr DANEgerous.

#9  Explosions wrong (too much fire), AK-47 type wrong, nobody shooting back, mud brick buildings burning?

Fun fake though... If my ex-girlfriend faked that good I'da kept her.

#8  FAKE.. The camel pulling the cart near the end is way to calm to have just had an RPG explode next to him.

#7  I liked the trailer. When does the movie come out?

#6  It looks real fake to me.

#5  Looks fake to me. Wouldn't be surprised if some rich film student and his friends were screwing around. It's odd that none of the Americans were shooting back. Also, the tag line seems pretty fake, as does the static -- it was too loud and harsh sounding. One question -- any Arab readers who can make out the sign on the wall at 2:00:52-2:00:55 of the tape?

#4  I HAVE THE ANSWER!
Jabba the Hut has contacts. Remember F-911 is being released in the MidEast. Since Jabba and "truth" are strangers that seldom even pass in the night, the production of this has to be suspect. I think we can surmise the source.

#3  Fake.

Hollywood-style propane explosions.
CG Smoke trails.
Operators carrying AKs?

#2  Looks fake. Why would operates allow themselves to be taped?
