The sun beats overhead, heat waves rise from the ground. It's a horrible day, ideal for a horrific task. Metal gleams in the harsh light as the blade is raised and lowered in practice. The prisoners cower, trying to stay as far away from the blade as possible. A young boy is wretched away from the group, screaming out his mother's name and reaching back at the group. The mother watches in mute shock as the blade raises up and come down in a sickening thud. One down, nine left to go. After they are done, the camera stops filming and the video is placed on the Internet. Another propaganda video for ISIS has been made. In 1984, George Orwell cautions society of how influential people are able to mold citizens into a unitary society through propaganda, rendering them incapable of being independent and unique, just as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi uses these terrorist videos in order to incite people to join or fear ISIS.
