I think it is important to fully reproduce the speech made by Islamic State captive John Cantlie in todays video. Dont look to media interpretations, read what IS have scripted, and your view will be more accurate: Hello, my name is Jon Cantlie. Im a British journalist who used to work for some of the biggest newspapers and magazines in the UK including the Sunday Times, The Sun and The Sunday Telegraph. In November 2012, I came to Syria where I was subsequently captured by the Islamic State. Now, nearly two years later, many things have changed, including the expansion of the Islamic State to include large areas of western Syria and eastern Iraq- a landmass bigger than Britain and many other nations. I know what youre thinking. Youre thinking hes only doing this because hes a prisoner, hes got a gun at his head and hes being forced to do this. Its true I am a prisoner. But seeing as Ive been abandoned by my government and my fate lies in the hands of Islamic State, I have nothing to lose. Maybe I will live and maybe I will die but I want to take this opportunity to convey some facts that you can verify. Facts that if you contemplate them, might help save lives. Over the next few programmes, Im going to show you the truth as the Western media tries to drag the public back to the abyss of another war with the Islamic State. After two disastrous and hugely unpopular wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, why is it that our governments appear so keen to get into another unwinnable conflict? Im going to show you the truth behind the systems and motivation of the Islamic State and how the Western media, the very organisation I used to work for, can twist and manipulate that truth for the public back home. There are two sides to every story. Think youre getting the whole picture? And I will show you the truth behind what happened when many European citizens were imprisoned and later released by the Islamic State and how the British and American governments thought they could do it differently from every other European country. They negotiated with the Islamic State and got their people home while the British and Americans were left behind. Its very alarming to see where this is all headed. it seems like history repeating itself, yet again. There is time to change this seemingly inevitable sequence of events but only if you the public act now. Join me for the next few programmes and I think you might be surprised by what you learn.
