The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) has released the 25th video from their audio-visual emirate.
If I have to explain how a production studio can be titled an emirate, you haven't done your homework by reading of ancient primary texts.
I do not release jihad propaganda into the public corridor. I consider it an act of poisoning. But this video is incredibly good with excellent use of a combination footage and graphics.
The video was filmed in Laghman province, Afghanistan. It is a series of explosive booms against military convoy, convoy targets. One of the interesting aspects is a news banner which will move across the screen showing a graphic of a vehicle traveling along and exploding. It is followed with the footage of the actual convoy.
On the lower right side of the film, the graphic of a hand holding a cell phone will appear with a countdown showing. The viewer will hear the dial tone of the phone. The explosion, will follow. This is all about creating an adrenaline rush.
Excellent use of time-lapse video is also employed to keep the viewer on the edge of their seats.
Another graphic to increase viewer enjoyment has been in use for some time. A red arrow will note the vehicle in the convoy which is about to be blown up.
This is the 25th official video of the Taliban. It is fifty-five minutes in length. It is meant to keep you on the edge of your seat.
Approximately 5,000 individuals were logged onto the site this morning.
How many of them felt a surge of empowerment after viewing this latest propaganda film? How many, have been brainwashed?
