Syria activist Danny, the poster child to justify a military invasion in Syria, caught staging entire CNN interviews including directing fake gunfire off stage.<\/h3>\n

Raw video footage of the Syria activist Danny as he waits to do a live video interview with CNN shows him directing off-stage fake gunfire and explosions, as well as being directed to tell CNN he has been retrieving the bodies of civilians from buildings that collapse due to Syria army mortar fire. It also shows Danny totally exaggerating a sense of fear and urgency as he goes from being totally calm, smiling and even somewhat bored before the on air interview starts to acting totally scared, hysterical and pretending he is in the middle of a war zone as soon as the actual interview starts.<\/p>\n

Activist Danny Caught Directing Completely Staged Faked CNN Syria Interview<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I have condensed footage of the original video to remove 5 uneventful minutes of watching him waiting around before the interview because most people will not stay interested long enough to get to the parts were he starts directing his off-stage actors to start the faked off stage gunfire. Also below are two detailed reports from the Intel Hub and Infowars on this incident, which outline more faked activist reports and other crimes committed by the rebels.<\/p>\n

If you were not already aware, the US and European nation\u2019s are relying solely on the accounts of these activists to justify invading Syria.<\/p>\n

The following two posts below give some more details on the false propaganda coming out of Syria.<\/p>\n

\u2018Syria Danny\u2019 Caught Staging CNN War Propaganda Stunt<\/h2>\n

Astounding footage has emerged of \u2018Syria Danny\u2019 \u2013 the dubious \u201cactivist\u201d who appears on mainstream news every week begging for a US or Israeli military invasion \u2013 in which he apparently coordinates gunfire and explosions to be staged during his interview with CNN.<\/p>\n

As we have previously documented<\/a>, \u2018Syria Danny\u2019 is a 22-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent from Cambridge. After returning from Homs in summer last year, he lived in London for a few months before returning to Syria in December, from which point onwards he became the poster child for a western military intervention in Syria, begging almost daily on CNN for the United States or even Israel to bombard the country.<\/p>\n

The clip above shows Danny being connected to CNN for one of the many interviews the station has conducted within him over the last few months.<\/p>\n

While waiting to be connected, Danny says, \u201cWell, let the gunfire sound then,\u201d before subsequently asking someone off camera, \u201cDid you tell him to get the gunfire ready?\u201d An explosion is heard soon after, but Danny doesn\u2019t even flinch.<\/p>\n

The person working the camera, Danny himself, and at least one person off camera, clearly appear to be coordinating staged gunfire and explosions to coincide with the CNN interview.<\/p>\n

The cameraman then reminds Danny to talk about recovering dead bodies before the interview with Anderson Cooper begins. The talking point about Assad\u2019s forces carrying out indiscriminate violence is strongly emphasized.<\/p>\n

Despite the threat of the violence he claims is occurring all around him, in addition to his high profile as a media-friendly anti-regime activist which would make him a prime target, Danny seems remarkably calm and composed in an environment one would expect to be fraught with tension. At one point, he even appears to be bored, jokingly asking for a mattress.<\/p>\n

Observers have noted that Danny\u2019s stories about the violence he claims to have witnessed appear to change each time he appears on a different news show, suggesting he is embellishing or outright manufacturing his testimony.<\/p>\n

In another clip, footage presented by the mainstream media as depicting \u201cgovernment shelling\u201d of innocent citizens actually shows the camera shot being set up hours beforehand, ready to capture an attack on an oil refinery in the city of Homs which occurred on February 8<\/a>. There is no evidence of tanks or \u201cshelling\u201d and the clip was likely produced by the same terrorists who blew up the oil refinery.<\/p>\n
