I enjoy a good conspiracy theory just like everyone else, but this guy is ridiculous.
To start, this is NOT the first time people have died during the Hajj. If we are just talking about stampedes, there have been 8 of those in the last 25 years. In fact, this one isn't even the worst. In 1990 1,426 people were trampled to death.

So what makes this one special? Is it because 717 people died? Well, according to other news sources (including the wikipedia article I just linked) the count is 719.
Here you go, here are at least a few sources:

http://www.india.com/news/world/14-i...ampede-577323/
http://cbs12.com/template/inews_wire...bs12.com.shtml
Note that some of these say "at least" 719, meaning it is likely higher.
Next, after referencing what looks like a comic book, a painting in the UN, and the movie Prometheus, he goes on to show a bunch of figures on a satellite image of Mecca. The problem with this is that he actually draws in the features needed to make them represent what he wants them to and overlays it on the map. He draws an extra line to make the knife blade look like a knife blade, then he draws in the eyes, nose, and mouth of the face. Come on, even the people that see Jesus' face on their toast don't need to draw or enhance the features.
The conclusion to all of this is that WW3 is coming? All I see here is someone grasping at straws trying to find evidence to back up their paranoid delusions.
