Follow The President's Announcement To The Nation That Osama Bin Laden Is Dead

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Update: It is now confirmed that Osama Bin Laden was killed in an air strike last week, and the US has the body. Expect the media to be drowned with stories of imminent terrorist "retaliation" which will push a flight to USD "safety" and purportedly drop commodities.

Lots of wild rumors about Obama's imminent late Sunday announcement to the nation, chief among which is that Bin Laden has been killed. The address can be followed live here.

love & respect ya chindit, but find it quite coinkydinky that you always seem to show up right around now to spout out the Waziristan wager.

also find it odd that you happened to mention Rothschilds once again when no one else even mentioned the name above.

don't believe myself that obamasama is a CIa construct per se, but i'm beginning to think someone else is...or at least was at some point.

My Rothschild reference was pre-emptive. Events such as this always bring out the moonbats, so I wanted to beat them to the punch. Of course, we already have someone claiming the bin Laden's are actually Jewish.  Idiocy knows no bounds.

It strikes me as bizarre that people will suck in whatever fantasy someone on the internet wishes to propagate, then accuse everyone else of being a "sheeple" for believing something the MSM or government says.  Apparently so long as a theory is 180 degrees opposed to any official story, it MUST be true.  My view is sheeple come in many flavors, and someone worshipping at the altar of Webster Tarpley or Alex Jones is just as fanatical and naive as one who takes every utterance from Fox or MSNBC as gospel.

I have a personal bugaboo about people who toss out things like "al-CIAda" and "Tim Osman", and who fancy themselves uber-sophistes, yet who have never journeyed into the areas where al Qaeda or JI or LeT of Abu Sayyaf operate.  Ignorance is a free choice, but one should not be proud of it.  I can write of my own journeys, or the couple of friends I lost in horrible circumstances to these groups, but that would just make me another anonymous internet guy talking a book no one else can read.  When the dander gets up, however, I cannot help but respond, and politeness, patience and understanding quickly leave me.

chindit - your assertion that some of the locals might go for Osama is believable, but doesn't mean a whole lot.  The CIA has dudes all of the world that in many cases the locals go for.  A lot of Egyptians liked Muhbarak.  Some Iranians liked the Shah.  The CIA installed his father.  If you said bad things about the Shah, you'd get your tongue ripped out.  <Check Confessions of an Economic Hitman>

I like HPD a lot.  Having said that, the OBL family being Jewish is hard to accept.  On the other hand here's an MSM source, claiming Ahmadinejad was born a Jew based on the attached photo of his internal documents he's holding up while voting -

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad revealed to have Jewish past - Telegraph

I went to the Turd's site.  He has a disclaimer up warning not to talk about the OBL event.  Somethings are more important than money, Turd.

If you ever seen the video of a Isreali TV show interviewing the "3 dancing Isrealis" napped for suspicion the morning of 911,

one of the dudes says "we where there to documnet the event"

oops!

I found it amazing how these Isrealis looked so much like Arabs. Wheather your dealing with the Mossad or an Arab, its hard to tell by the face.

 

Better hope his passport landed somewhere in the area to be able to ID him.

well count me as one who would read that book.   i would even buy it new and that's actually saying a lot.  it would be a fascinating read by a true wordsmith methinks.

agreed with your comments on ignorance spun through fantasy.    too much tin is toxic to the mind and soul for sure.   nonetheless, there's a reason why these tales are being spun, no matter how fantastical some may appear to be.  unfortunately, USGov has lost the trust of many which it will never get back, no matter how many frenemies they kill and what their real name is.   can you blame them really?

i'd take you up on your Wazristan offer, but only if you go with me and you wear a t-shirt with a giant poppy flower on it that says SMILE! on the bottom.

all the best to you chindit.   is it getting tropical there yet?

p.s. yes, the Rothys always seem to be pre-emptive.   maybe that's been their special potion all along?

I suppose I am without a brain, though I was hoping that in this crowd no one would notice.  I'm so gullible I believe some guy named Galileo, who if he had looked at the Twin Towers' collapse, would have said it ain't freefall if some debris is falling faster than the building.  He and that other charlatan Newton also said that gravity is not approximate, and that freefall speed is freefall speed, not plus or minus a fudge factor.  Oh, never mind.  To each his own.

I’m having trouble following your argument, which seems to be something to the effect that since many rich people held a stake in one investment firm, then Osama bin Laden=Tim Osman and the WTC was an inside job.

I knew several brothers in the bin Laden family, which is to say a minor percentage of the entire family (Mohammed bin Laden was a practicing Moslem in every sense of the term). They were highly educated and quite reasonable people. Osama, whom I never met, was also highly educated and certainly intelligent enough to plan something as simple as 911. His deputy Ayman al Zawahri is also highly intelligent and well educated.  And hard to believe as it might be, people in Afghanistan and Waziristan had cellphones even way back in 2001. In fact, the reception might have been better than in downtown Manhattan (much of the developing world leapfrogged the US fixed-line network). You might also do a search and find images of some of the "caves" they lived in.  Conference rooms, full kitchens, nice sleeping quarters.  Calling them a bunch of cave dwellers is underestimating both their accomodations and intelligence, and dare I say also has a stink of racism toward Arabs.

The US on 10-9-01 was not the same US as on 12-9-01. Lots of things changed, most, sadly, for the worse. I don’t suppose you are a pilot, but flying an already airborne 757 or 767 is not especially difficult, nor is navigation. Maps, GPS or simple pilotage can get one from Point A to Point B. Turning off a transponder is one switch. Trying to find aircraft not operating a transponder, on a morning when 8000 or so commercial aircraft, and thousands of private aircraft are in the skies is not so easy. Also not so easy would be taking down 250 stories of buildings when the largest building ever brought down by controlled demolition was 27 stories, and took weeks and weeks to prepare.  Frankly, the USG, military included, is not that competent.

"something as simple as 911." One old logic trick is to base an argument on a ridiculous premise.

"flying an already airborne 757 or 767 is not especially difficult"  but they did more than just fly didn't they? They did things that seasoned (and honest) pilots say are next to impossible and would require the best pilot skills in the world.

"turning off a transponder is one switch" and then you have NORAD on your ass almost immediately when you divert from your flight path. Try again 

"demolition...took weeks and weeks to prepare" And a Bush family member had security authority over that building and closed it off several times for security "exercises" preceeding the event. The building owner said they "pulled it" and took out an extraordianry insurance policy. You conveniently avoid eyewitness accounts, building 7, thermite residue, testimony from engineers who worked with the company that manufactured the steel, immediately removing and destroying the steel evidence contrary to law at the biggest terrorist crime site in american history and...a million other things

If they went to Waziristan or NWFP their world view would be shattered- large # poor people, very small # feudal lords, pedophile imams molesting their charges, same shit different zip code.  Although I hear US foreign policy since my last visit in '94 is doing as good a job at distracting the sheeple from the substantive financial and civil rights problems as US domestic policy is doing in the States.  Either there is an amazing collective intelligence of government bureaucrats to carry out the conspiracy or there is a marriage of the collective stupidity of government bureaucrats and the law of unintended consequences.  On balance the truly skilled diplomats I know neither outnumber nor outweigh their troll piers, so I have to opt for stupidity over conspiracy.

Nothing of significance has changed.

Hey, let's start a "Where were you when you heard the news?" thread.

I was in Wal-Mart.  Seriously.  Literally.  I was gathering up the final items for my bug-out bag.  A friend of mine actually excitedly called me to tell me something big happened and to turn on the TV.  I told him I was in Wal-Mart and to just tell me.  I thought maybe someone blew up Congress or at least the Goldman-Sachs headquarters, or maybe Ben Bernanke or Timothy Geithner was hung up on a rafter and was being pummeled with a baseball bat by WalStreetPro2 on live television, or perhaps aliens were landing in hordes on Earth and it was the end of humanity, so palpable was the excitement in his voice!  What a let down when he told me it was that Osama bin Whoagain? had been killed.  It felt like getting dumped by my first girlfriend all over again.

In fact I remember thinking, "Damn, this does nothing good for silver."

Where were you?

Printed from a previous thread :

You forget that Ben Laden's is America's own Frankenstein monster...created by Bill Casey of CIA  and Turki  ben Faisal, his Saudi counterpart, prince of ruling Saud clan, and minister of security and army in kingdom. It all started to use muslim fanatism against Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1980. America's man in charge of Pakistan was Persident Zia ul Huq, who created the Taibans, the ISI, and aided their effort in Aghanistan as he was a fundamentalist. Twenty years later the same poison cookies turned rogue against their US  mentors, especially as aftermath of their power play in ME, when they attacked Iraq in Operation Desert Storm, occupying permanently holy land of Saudi since 1991. That was the casus belli that Ben Laden used to attack USA on 9/11. So this is just part of the shit storm that the CIA created for itself with its Saudi surrogates. China aided the PAk nuclear program started clandestinely in 1975 'cos USA wouldn't after the USSR imploded.

In fact they had their local point man, Zia, probably killed in 1988 for being stubborn about continuing PAk nuclear  deal inhouse and for supporting Hekmateyar in Afghanistan when the CIA had dropped him as being too rabid and pro Iran; after soviet withdrawal from Kabul.

 Its surprising people would be so cynical after being manipulated into two wars. In a war where we installed a former Unocal consultant as leader (free elections) and his brother which is a drug dealer and informant for the CIA. BTW Unocal wanted to build a pipeline and now our bases are located along it. Osama never took credit for 9/11 except for the blurred video which is a fake, I would've thought he would proclaim it to the world as other terrorists have. All the good that has come from this thousands of dead and maimed on both sides, and huge contracts to private corporations.

iPad and iStuff are toys.

Not many give a shit about Osama, most probably assumed he was dead anyway, if not from military action, from sickness of old age.

 

The real question to be looked at is how easily he won. How easy it was to get the USA to go bezerk and burn trillions of dollars and make enemies of most of the world and lose all credibility with their allies. He knew the US better than it knew itself. Now the US is sick of fighting imaginary wars and real ones.
