I made this super slowed down version of the video because I thought something was kinda weird. I might just be being paranoid, but other than his face looking like it's totally morphing. Why does he become transparent while ducking? I understand motion blur but it shouldn't account for that many stars being able to be seen through his head does it?

Great for posting this. You are right, good observation here.
I am glad I wasn't the only one who thought this was kinda odd...my feeling it was a set up, why does he look totally unsurprised and smiling??
hmmmmmmm.......:rolleyes:

I just think its kind of weird because even in the newspapers here the people moving are crystal clear while bush's face is blurred in every picture except right before and after the incident.
Didn't Icke say that they sometimes have problems maintaining their shape if startled extremely or extremely angry?

Because he's a politician. lol They use smiles to make everything okay. ;) He was extremely down-playing the whole thing when interviewed afterwards.

Creepy. The shoe also seems to disappear when it gets behind Bush. Maybe the video is just doctored.
Edit: No wait, the shoe disappears because the video resets. Damn, I hope I had found something here.

It's wierd because he's supposed to be the President of the USA and yet the bloke was able to pull off his left shoe and throw that as well. Maybe even his bodyguards are sick of him as well :D
Blimey, Kennedy didn't have a chance did he?
Mind you that was quite a good duck for a pissed, drugged moron, must have been reading the autocue very well for once.

He dodged it well though. Most politicians would of just stood there and let themselves get a face full of flip-flop.
I loved the comment he made later on. "I dont know what his beef was." LOL
I could think of a few.

The face is blurred because it is an interior shot, a slower shutter speed which is OK when it comes to interviews but not for speed shots. If you look at where the shoe is headed it whizzes past about a foot to your left where Bush's head was so it wouldn't have hit him even had he not moved a muscle.

Not from the footage I've seen. The first shot would have been a direct hit if he hadn't ducked, at least from the angle this was taken from:

PRESIDENT Bush last night claimed his decision to invade Iraq had been vindicated after US troops uncovered an arsenal of shoes on the outskirts of Fallujah.
More than 400 lethal shoes including sandals, pumps, desert boots and a solitary brogue were revealed as Mr Bush paid a final visit to Iraq to see if there was anything left.
A White House spokesman immediately dismissed claims the US invasion had been based on Saddam Hussein's alleged stockpile of chemical and biological weapons, adding: "No we didn't, we said shoes.
"We did and if you heard weapons of mass destruction, that's your problem. You might want to try using a cotton bud."
The spokesman added: "We believe that many of these shoes would have been built in China with Russian laces, French-made heels and odour-absorbing insoles purchased through back channels via the west African state of Niger."
Prime minister Gordon Brown backed Mr Bush insisting many of Iraq's shoes were slip-ons that could activated in less than 45 minutes.
But France denied supplying Iraq with shoe components insisting its only exports to Saddam's regime had been a 1994 shipment of humanitarian espadrilles.
Meanwhile the Kremlin said most of Iraq's shoes had actually been bought from ex-US defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld when he worked for Hush Puppies in the early 1980s.

There was also a fear that Iraq would have had full scale production of brogues before the end of the decade, Pakistan had also been supplying the Iraqi regime with plans for platform boots though contacts in Damascus.

The morphing, transparency etc. is down to frame rates/compression used in digital video.

A Shoe a shoe is the sign ! life of Brian , bush is not the messiah , all together now , he's a very naughty boy .
The see thru image is just an effect of the camera , my mate had an old security camera years ago a black and white one , the images on there came out see thru , you could stand behind people and still be seen on screen for some weird reason . :D

Look at the full version, the first shoe misses the flag and bounces around on the ground, and the second shoe hits the flag which causes it to sway.

It is a pity he didnt throw a grenade.
I would have got the champagne out then.
As it is it really was a brave act from a person who has spoken on behalf of billions worldwide.
George Bush is scum.
This is deeply emarrasing for all Americans, there is no way this was staged or faked. Lets just be grateful there are still some brave honest reporters left in the world.

I can see the headlines now "George Bush assassinated by a shoe!" (with a deadly odour! one of those biological weapons you know!). causes outrage in the west and leads to World War III ! or everyone around the world including Americans say "Thankgod the moron is no more, we can get back to some normality and hopefully live in peace".
JFK gets the conventional boring assassination, he was shot. Old Georgy boy manages to do it in style and get seen off by a shoe!!. Oh how the world would miss his monumental gaffs though!!. But not for long. I guess we can dream can't we, now back to reality!.
