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.

“Terrorist” in superpower lingo means “enemy” of the U.S. /Israel.  The jets and helicopter gunships in the air are "us"…the “others” are militants, our enemy, i.e., the “terrorists on the ground.”

Well, if this is victory, the war on terror is over. If Osama Bin Laden was the key to all our troubles – from his worldwide war fought from his cave headquarters - bring the CIA back, let’s pull out of Afghanistan, send Hlliary to the capitals of the world to bring back our bombers. Hail, Obama, our warrior in chief. We don’t need no stinkin’ elections: we have our champion - Obama! Obama did it!  Fresh from his birth certificate victory, he has defeated all America's and Israel's enemies.  There are no enemies left;  it was Al Qaeda; this wraps it up.

We need a new Hitler.

Strike up the orchestras. Let the dance begin, the hot cocktail parties, let the red carpets unroll: let the champagne flow as we toast the fun and the wounded and the dead and our military-industrial complex at the Commander in Chief’s” Osama Is Dead” Victory  Ball. “Victory! Victory! On to the dance!”

The Victory Ball
(Alfred Noyes)

The cymbals crash and the dancers walk
With long silk stockings and arms of chalk.
Butterfly skirts and white breasts bare
And shadows of dead men watching ‘em there.

Shadows of dead men stand by the wall
Watching the fun of the Victory Ball.
They do not reproach, because they know
If they're forgotten, it's better so.

Under the dancing feet are the graves
Dazzling, motley, long, white waves,
Brushed by the palm-fronds, grapple and whirl
Ox-eyed matron, and slim white girl.

Fat, wet bodies go waddling by,
Girdled with satin, though God knows why;
Gripped by satyrs in white and black,
With a fat white hand on the fat white back.

See, there is one child fresh from school,
Learning the ropes as the old hands rule.
God, how the dead men chuckle again,
As she begs for a dose of the best cocaine.

“What do you think we should find,” said the shade
When the last shot echoed and peace was made?”
“Christ,” laughed the fleshless jaws of a friend,
I thought they'd be praying for worlds to mend,


“Making earth better or something silly
Like whitewashing hair or Piccadilly.
They've a sense of humour, these women of ours,
These exquisite lilies, these fresh, young flowers!”

“Pish,” said a statesman standing near,
“I'm glad they keep busy, their thoughts elsewhere!
We mustn't reproach ‘em, they're young, you see.”
“Ah,” said the dead men. “So were we!”

Victory! Victory! On to the dance!
Back to the jungle, the new beasts prance!
God, how the dead men grin by the wall,
Watching the fun of the Victory Ball.

Maybe they had DNA samples from him earlier and after his death they just had to match it up. e.g. Helpful servant with used glass. This can be done in a couple of hours with the right technology. There are some very powerful handheld DNA testing machines. The President is not going to reveal everything about the operation for obvious reasons. If you expect him to do so then you should be playing soldiers in the backyard with your school friends if you can get away from your sea monkeys of course.

There are approximately six billion people alive on the Planet right now give or take a few million. If there was a hierarchy of merit then Osama Bin Laden would rate at the very bottom. To destroy the snake it is necessary to cut off the head. The world is also a far different place than it was in 2001 and the vast majority of Muslims now have a moderate stance and reject terrorism in all its guises.

Birth Certificate release "out of the blue"

Suddenly he ordered and got Bin Laden killed

 

Why the timing on these two issues, what is really coming?

 

There is a book coming out "check mating" the birth certificate story, could it be that accurate?

Is silvers price action really gonna crash JPM / FR?

or is it something else that we had to be "vaccinated" for?

I watched the documentary "102 Minutes" a couple weeks ago. It infuriated me to think of the men and women who joined the military with the noblest of intentions after 9/11 only to die or get seriously injured stealing other countries oil while OBL remained free for over a decade.  I'm still infuriated about how the brave servicemen and women were used, but I am truly happy the man who supposedly masterminded and definitely boasted and took credit for 9/11 is at last dead.  Anyone who's not taking any joy in this might want to give "102 Minutes" a watch to refresh your memory.  I just hope OBL's final moments were as painful and traumatic as this man's...

If the US stayed the fuck out of the middle east where it has no business being there would never have been 9/11.

For anyone rational reading ZH tonight, one of the key things to consider now is whether ISI Chief Pasha in Pakistan was aware of the operation, and whether he has been aware of---but never reported about---ObL's presence in or near Islamabad.  This has implications for far more than US-Pakistan relations, as it also will give some indication of the ongoing strength, or lack thereof, of the regime in nuclear Pakistan.  I would suspect that people in New Delhi are concerned, as India is firmly convinced that Pasha had a hand in the Mumbai attacks a few years ago.

Most of you will be worrying about your silver, or waiting for your internet guru's, who apparently are infallible, to tell you The Real Story, but there are genuine concerns that this action will bring to light. 

As an addendum, while it is a good thing that the man is gone, the price paid in blood and treasure by the US, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan is beyond the scope of imagination.  Those now celebrating might consider that and take a more restrained approach.

Pattern recognition exercise:

Barack Hussein Obama, Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein.  Two of the country's, now deceased, leading enemies share a name, or part of a name, of the sitting president.  Near the end of March of 2003, as OIL, er, Operation Iraqi Liberation was starting, could Madison Avenue have successfully marketed a guy whose name includes the words Hussein Obama to the American public?

First black president elected just as the African-American community would be disproportionately impacted by the housing collapse and subsequent economic depression.

Also, the student of the Fed's mistakes throughout the Great Depression, Bernanke, to be selected as Chairman of the Federal Reserve a year and a half before the onset of 'the worst recession since the great depression'.

This is bad news since this is an escalation that will be used as an excuse for the next False Flag!   A classic shock test to see how people will respond, looks like the Sheep are still asleep. We are in so much trouble, do not attend any Sports Events because this time one of the stadiums may blow and Iran or Bin Laden's grandson will take the blame.

Why would anyone rush to USD on this news?  In any likely scenario, the US will be spending (printing) more money than anticipated to deflect likely terrorists retaliation.  Even the threat of retaliation will raises costs significantly.  These threats are likely to be positioned in a 1 to 5 year time horizon, not tomorrow.  I applaud the termination of Bin Laden, but it will be a very expensive funeral.  Expect the ususal 10% correction in a gold rally and be grateful for the opportunity to buy more at better levels.

So this means the Wanted Poster can be removed from the FBI web site. You know, the one that has no mention at all of 911:

"Usama Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998, bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. These attacks killed over 200 people. In addition, Bin Laden is a suspect in other terrorist attacks throughout the world."

SECURITY concerns are believed to have been behind the postponement of Prince William and his new wife's honeymoon. The newlyweds surprised many by revealing that they would not be immediately travelling overseas for the traditional post-wedding break.

The couple will instead spend time at an undisclosed location in the UK before Prince William goes back to work next week.The sudden change came despite aides having said consistently that the honeymoon would immediately follow the wedding.

There was speculation it may have been prompted by security concerns.

The couple were originally believed to have booked a honeymoon in Jordan

Well done to the CIA, the US Special Forces personnel and their allies who carried out this operation. The true story will never be revealed in full, and those involved will have their identities protected for the rest of their lives. Justice always catches up with people. We all reap what we sow eventually. Many of the young people celebrating in Times Square and outside the White House right now would have been aged eight to eleven years old when September 11 happened. Their reaction is a statement that they, like all of us, do not want to live in a constant state of fear. There will be an upswing in hatred towards certain groups in the coming days, but some people will hate you no matter what. President Obama spoke well as usual. There was not a hint of adolescent triumphalism in his speech. I agree with what he said. G-d bless the USA and Western Civilization !

Can someone please write up a ZH guide as to what is real news and what is not?

So far, what I get is:

- Anything to do with Israel was planned by Mossad

- Anything that has to do with US military action was either Mossad or CIA

- Anything in the markets was manipulation by JPMorgan (in the case of PMs) or Goldman (in the case of everything else)

- Osama is either 1) an innocent framed by CIA/Mossad, 2) a tool of CIA/Mossad, or 3) dead years ago.  But he is alive now and this is another CIA/Mossad plant or else to support Obama since an election is coming (which apparently is a unique event)

- But what caught me by surprise was that the Obama birth certificate is real, and anyone questioning it is crazy.

Damn.  I thought I had figured out the formula, but then I get a curve ball.  Now I'm confused all over again.

See I've been under this whacko idea that there is some corruption, but not everything is due to corruption.  That there are some conspiracies, but not everything (ignoring the birth certificate issue for the moment) is a conspiracy.

Can I just simplify it to assume that if CIA/Mossad could conceivably have been involved then they were, and everything that happens is to benefit the Zionists?  Are there any exceptions at all?  How does innocent, but guilty dead but alive bin Laden fit in here?

Thanks

Osama is not Jesus Christ. But he is the God's witness.

Do You really want to know HOW?

Very easy. The Osama and his son were described in Revelation book of Bible, written 2000 years ago:

http://niv.scripturetext.com/revelation/11.htm

The Two Witnesses

1I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the worshipers there. 2But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months. 3And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” 4These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die. 6These men have power to shut up the sky so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.

7Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them. 8Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. 9For three and a half days men from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. 10The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.

11But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. 12Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.

13At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14The second woe has passed; the third woe is coming soon.

Now, can You see who is the evil and who is right?
