Austrian TV faked footage of Muslim migrants helping flood victims

Jun 5, 2016 6:05 pm By Robert Spencer

No lie is out of bounds in the great project of manipulating Europeans into accepting the massive Muslim migrant influx. ORF is not a news outlet in any way; it’s a source for the propaganda of the political elites. Of course, that’s generally true of all mainstream media outlets. “Journalists” such as Andrew Kaczynski, Christopher Massie, Scott Shane, Christiane Amanpour, Bob Smietana, Niraj Warikoo, Kari Huus, Dave Weigel, Lisa Wangsness, Anne Barnard and so very many others aren’t remotely honest reporters; they’re paid shills for the dominant political perspective.

Austria migrants

“Claim: Austrian TV Faked Footage Of Migrants Helping Flood Victims,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, June 4, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Austrian public broadcaster ORF is accused of faking a TV sequence of migrants helping with the massive flooding in Baden-Württemberg.

The floods across Europe have caused immense damage over this past week, leading to several deaths in the southern German region of Bavaria. In Paris, the floods have raised the Seine river so high that many of the artworks in the Louvre have had to be moved for safe keeping.

There has been a great demand for help across Germany to deal with the flooding but residents of a town in Baden-Württemberg claim that an Austrian TV station has co-opted the disaster to improve the public relations for migrants Junge Freiheit reports.

According to the reports, the Austrian state broadcaster ORF were filming a piece on the flooding in the town of Schwäbisch Gmünd and highlighted several migrants who were volunteering to clean up the mess left by the flooding. The migrants can be seen shoveling mud and debris that has been swept into the town after heavy rainfall.

The city spokesman Markus Herrmann confirmed that the entire TV spot had been staged by the ORF saying that they had requested to specifically film migrants cleaning up. By the time the filming had been done on Friday most of the actual cleanup of the damage which consisted of flooded cellars and houses, had already been cleared by the city’s paid employees. The broken furniture and other debris by the roadside, that was included in the footage, was actually left there on purpose by city workers who were planning on collecting it all later….

    Bitterly ironic since Islam and exculpation of Islam are rooted in fakery.

      It is almost heart warming to envision such a glorious coexist fantasy of the Left.

      It reminds me of a classic romance movie scene where a woman longing to be loved by her Prince Charming says “Please say the words and tell me you love me, even if you don’t really mean it.”

      The fakery is so obvious that there must be someone ordering for fake stories like this. Bribery is normative Islam, so I suspect Gulf oil money is buying off Western elites. I suspect the Panama Papers are the tip of the iceberg of Mohammedan bribery of Western elites.

      • Jay Boo says

        Jun 5, 2016 at 11:43 pm

        Bribery ???

        Really, Mortimer?
        There you go again.
        That would mean that these Westerners are what devout Muslims call typical materialists as opposed to being conned by Islamo-fascists into defending themselves against repeated charges of racism and Islamophbia.

        For someone who claims to be anti-jihad you have a nasty habit of repeatedly playing into their game.

        It does hurt. Like touching a child who insists on dangerously and continuously playing with matches, with an extinguished match head to show what getting burned feels like. Or tossing out the 18,year old to fend for themselves because time and time again they break the house rules and cause conflict. Yes, you have hidden the matches but the child still gets them, yes you counseled the 18 year old and done everything possible to get them to think before they act. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. We forget this I daily life.

    The falsehood of Muslim helping flood victims invented in Austria, while the truth about Muslim Rape Gangs (covered-up) in Sweden and UK.

    Meanwhile BBC implies Islamophobia by residents of a small town with very few residents completely over-run by masses of Muslim migrant men when BBC sympathizes with one of those men whining for pity because fearful residents don’t wish to invite him into their house for “just five minutes” he clamed — to take a shower.

    Remember when the media staged the photo of the 3-year-old refugee kid who drowned? In the photo, his body was arranged just so, his clothes wete not in disarray, his hair was not disheveled. Obviously no one washes up on a beach in this pristine condition. The evil media will use any lie – they will even exploit the death of an innocent toddler to further their sick and twisted agenda of establishing their multicultural utopian society.

      The BBC also truncated footage of an incident involving a Syrian man who had pushed his wife (holding an infant) onto the train tracks in Hungary. The BBC removed the initial part of the video where the man pushed his wife onto the tracks. The clip was edited to give the impression that the Hungarian police were involved in the incident. The police were trying to help the woman and the child. They were trying to pull the man away from the woman. Unfortunately for the BBC, the entire video was on YT.
      – The BBC is absolutely shameless.

          The BBC, like most other media, alters a lot more… Come to think of it. the mainstream media practically alters *everything*. Perhaps one ought to refer to the ‘mainstream media’ as the Ministries of Truth – assumed 1984 is out of copyright.

          Must be the “Ministry of Intelligence” working to educate us all. Hahahahaha! I don’t have TV and never read a newspaper unless it is the obituary. So, I never see the deception only just hear about it. What a waste of money- news media reporting lies!

        Hi,

        here’s the video mentioned (it’s part of the whole), in it is the original with the railroad tracks, plus some others funny ones, in short , idiot refugees. Also, included is the “crying kid”, he made by now over 3 (!) TV appearances, BBC and others. Always weeping, shows how it was made. Should he go on to the US, he will get a lost a job in Hollywood.

        Whilst on the subject of humor, though, this ones a bit black humor. It’s about the shooting at a US Military base, 13 dead, by a guy called ‘Nabil or Nadil’. An interview with a heroic (medal) surviving US soldier. It’s in Hebrew, ENGLISH subs, definitely worth watching.

        Enjoy

    IT IS TRUE THAT MONEY IS “THE SOURCE OF EVIL WHEN ACQUIRED FROM CROOKED DEALINGS” IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT EVIL KNOW NO BOUNDARIES OF WHAT SHAME IS. IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT CLUTINY IS RESULTED FROM GREEDINESS. The ORF is infiltrated by Muslims (Islam) and Muslim appeasers trying to put a positive face to the Muslim false and lies that is well known to the world over. I say this about the ORF and to those who are trying hard to paint a positive picture of the Muslims to define their endeavours. “UNLESS YOU REMOVE A ROTTEN CARCASS AND SPRING CLEAN THE AREA WHERE THE CARCASS HAS BEEN LAID, THE SMELL IS AND WILL STILL PRESENT. SO ARE YOUR LIES AND DECEITS BEHAVIOURS”

      You are really going out on the limb there Mortimer.

      Are you sure that you want to risk being so provocative and controversial?

    If anyone still thinks that so many are misguided or need to learn about Islam then they are fools. This is proof that truth about Ilsam is known. Why else the need to stage anything and lie to make Islam look better?
    Everyone by know knows what evil Islam is. They are just part of spreading it.

      They have an agenda for sure. I don’t even watch mainstream news any longer. For a very long time I would get the truth here, or on other sources, only to watch it “break” later on mainstream cable networks sometimes years later, but only when forced into it, because reality was so absolutely divergent or political winds had shifted.

      In my opinion, they are of very little actual use if you want information.

      This is why nobody trusts the mainstream press outlets any more, they are essentially obsolete, and for the most part, there for propaganda and entertainment.

      • Peggy says

        Jun 6, 2016 at 1:43 am

        I don’t know which country you are in but in Australia we had a show on Sunday morning called “The Bolt Report”. Even though he wasn’t exosing half of what is here he was still trying to show some of the truth.
        Needless to say, Andrew Bolt is no longer doing that show and the show was replaced by a group of women talking about nothing.
        I didn’t think Andrew would last that long.

        Myxlplik says; “They have an agenda for sure. I don’t even watch mainstream news any longer…”

        Ditto my friend!

        I have given up on TV altogether, as well as ‘newspapers’. The latter only if I come across them in a pub, and am bored. Various inet sources will do. Of course, I am not the only one, which leads to the ongoing attempts by governments you mention in your post below.

  12. Myxlplik says

    Jun 5, 2016 at 11:44 pm

    This is why governments are trying to crack down on activist on social media outlets, because they want total control of their misinformation.

    The photo of refugees in the article, real? I assume it is real, but it is worrisome that it will be used as a fake at some later date to criticize the debate, misdirect. I know they are clever in the disturbing of the minds of the target infidels, for their benefit. The floods in the EU are they helped along by dam damage just curious. Just like telling the followers to not vote……clever but also a message. They have the marketing of image down pat and must have their own companies….all the dangers of mindless diversity.

    I’ve seen loads of video the media has filmed in Far reaching hot spots, of war. All nicely staged to look like kids are losing limbs and bombing is constant. Then Cut…and then we see these civilian/actors pause and relax. Bandages get looked at by make-up, half dead bodies get off their stretchers and just walk off camera.
    I’ve seen footage of riots and burning filmed in Venezuela last year that was entirely prefabricated. The real pictures with people in them actually showed how the media manipulated in post production massive fires behind them, to look like rioters had set the city on flames. There was no fire or rioting… I believe CNN has to apologize for this one. One needs to question everything one sees.
