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.

What else do You want to be explained in Revelation?

What is the "beast"? It was a rocket and a helicopter, because they are on oil (Babylon's whore) fuel, coming from the sea.

Your premise is that the book of revelations is actually an accurate description of future events, that remains to be proven. Your argument is based on faith and loose interpretation of the text not facts.

Your premise is that the book of revelations is actually an accurate description of future events, that remains to be proven.

Permit me to ask You: "To be proven" by WHO? Or "to be proven" to WHOM? If You need proof on Bible's events, that means You are pagans. Any human has learned from the Bible that God delivers "proof" in a very, very uncomfortable way. He first normally simply deliver messages by His servants, the prophets. Please, explain HERE, on ZeroHedge - WHO have to deliver "proof" to You? God Himself? His prophets?

 

Your argument is based on faith and loose interpretation of the text not facts.

What "facts"? The facts that oil is now a matter of widest and wildest idolatry in USA and in the world? The fact that oil is called in Revelation the "Babylon's whore"? The fact that Revelation contain "beasts"- derived from oil: "beasts-scorpoins" - helicopters (there is a military UK helicopter called exactly "Scorpion"), beast tanks, there is a "beast" in Revelation - a (fueled by oil) rocket,  which has a king - "called in Greek Apollo, and in Hebrew Abbadon"? Do You need a proof, that biggest and most kown rocket  in the world is called Apollo, but jews in Israel hate all rockets from Gaza - destroyers (abbaddons) of their calm life? How many "facts" do You need?

In 40 days will expire exactly SEVEN YEARS of my service by explaning the Revelation around the globe. I did it first on web-sites of jews of modern Israel, on Russian orthodox church web-sites, on SmartMoney, two years on MarketWatch, and a year on ZeroHedge, and personally with several priests of Church.

Unfortunatelly for me it is not my "faith", it is my knowledge, and I dont wish You any degree of the process of receiving of that knowledge.

The things went too far, and sometimes I went slightly AGAINST the sad events, described in Revelation. But I was granted the the right to do so, because the Lord Creator is the last, I repeat the last person Who wants the sad events of Revelation to happen. But You are so stupid, so pagans, that You give Him no alternative to execute Revelation in a full way.

Very, very loose interpretation of Scripture.  Lots of things you are claiming as definitive for which there are hundreds of theories abounding in the world.

Bin Laden one of the witnesses in Rev. 11?  Oil is Babylon's whore?  Helicopters are beast-scorpions? 

I have heard many, many theories about the ID of John's imagery in Revelation.  Here's one: the atomic structure of carbon-12 is 6 neutrons, 6 electrons, and 6 protons...thus a one-world carbon-currency must be the 666 mark of the Beast for commercial trade in Rev. 13, right?  How about that the two witnesses are Moses and Elijah reincarnate, or their likenesses as John the Baptist was the "last Elijah." Or that the 10-headed beast of Daniel is some faction of the European Union, U.N., or G-20?

As you claim 'inside knowledge that is beyond the rest of us,' ponder these:

Watch out that no one deceives you.  For many will come in my name, claiming 'I am the Christ' and will deceive many.  (Matt. 24:4)

But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.  You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.  (Luke 12:39-40)

[Do not] become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter supposed to have come from us, saying the day of the Lord has already come.  Don't let anyone deceive you in any way...(2 Thess 2:2-3)

Very, very loose interpretation of Scripture.

THIS IS NOT AN INTERPRETATION, You moron!

THIS IS AN EXPLANATION from The Person, Who has possessed Your reins, Who has covered you in your mother's womb!

Ok, ok , I am trying to stay calm and, taking into account You just quoted the Bible, You personally deserves to be answered.

As I understand You need an explanation of what is called "number of beast", and what was written as XIC (in greek tradition) in Revelation? hexa-koseeoi-hexe-konta-hexa.

I gave it five years ago and part of it is now on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia

It is a HEXADECIMAL coding of normal WORDS in modern computers. It started in 1895, and in 1912. You can find it in any computer and in a map of almost every EXE program, because XIC is contained in naming of Microsoft's  segments. Bill Gates is a false prophet in Revelation, appealing people by visual effects only.

Listen, I am very, very tired by seven years of explanation of Revelation and concordance with current events. I proclamed the future drought in Israel and it happen. I proclamed other events and all they happen, including the modern financial crysis.

Enough is enough. If you want to live, come to my place and I will explain the rest.

Listen, I am very, very tired by seven years of explanation of Revelation and concordance with current events.

You and about a million others.  When John was imprisoned on Patmos, the people of that time, reading Revelation in its original form, thought the descriptions were in "concordance with current events."  And so it's been for 2000 years.

Keep your eye on the cross, and you will find what you need.

And although I don't use SLV in my construct, it was conjured up in 2006

In case you were living under a rock, or out enjoying you life, Silver crashed over 10% on Sunday afternoon, many hours before announcement of a presidential announcement (Bin Laden assassinated in Pakistan by US forces)

So this construct (aka ratio chart) only makes sense after 2005, so very long term trends cannot be analyzed.

The multi-year trends show a very interesting time and channel pattern, which basically last week called a medium term top.

Buried at sea and a few appeasement videos or photos to be released in a few weeks. If he was still alive then we have known where he is for years. Not a soul on Earth especially one who happens to be the most sought after person since time began is capable of evading capture especially given the size of our intelligence budget. 

     The fact that he was "discovered" living in a mansion and not in an advanced tunnel system is laughable. Nobody is that lucky especially one with such a high price tag. And course he could not be captured alive. They just pulled the Maintain status quo card now that the economy can no longer be covered up and we are waging non stop wars fueled by debt.

Official: Bin Laden buried at sea
(AP) – 5 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. official says Osama bin Laden has been buried at sea.
After bin Laden was killed in a raid by U.S. forces in Pakistan, senior administration officials said the body would be handled according to Islamic practice and tradition. That practice calls for the body to be buried within 24 hours, the official said. Finding a country willing to accept the remains of the world's most wanted terrorist would have been difficult, the official said. So the U.S. decided to bury him at sea.
The official, who spoke Monday on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national security matters, did not immediately say where that occurred.

NAZI GERMANY WOULD BE PROUD OF THIS STORY.

The SEALs were merely goldman sachs private wealth managers for Bin Laden family.

They went to his house to tell him that his portfolio has a huge net short position in silver. Upon hearing this, Bin Laden wanted to be taken to NYC to meet Blankenfein personally. The SEALs then just pushed him out of the helicopter and drowned him in the ocean.

My guess this has been done because Ron Paul is 2nd place is the presidential poles.

Since the wars have all gone no where, the Elites have no choice but get a victory now and go home and cut their budgets or have themselves discredited by Ron Paul bringing the troops home and cutting the budget if he wins.  I think they were worried about his climb in the poles, and their potential loss of power. Just so long as they can keep their stoges in office. 

In any case BTFD on silver, as they always manage the screw these things up.

Osama just got too sloppy. Built a big ass mansion, eight times larger than any other buildings in the area. Burning all the trash while no other people did that in the area. Having owners with no known income.

Criminals many times do get sloppy and start relaxing, making mistakes. That will eventually lead to arrest or getting killed.

Two security gates.

Right next to the premiere pakistani military academy.

Sounds about right. Plus burial within 24 hours so as not to offend muslims, at sea to avoid turning it into a shrine, clumsy but probably accurate. Tipping off bill and george and them calling their buddies probably lead to silver crash.

Water only flows downhill, and this is the only way the US could declare victory.

His death, or appearance of his recent death, was the trump card and it was just played.

So 'peace prize' winner admits to murder.  OBL may have been a nasty bit of work but, as far as I know, he was never convicted of any crime in any court of law, by a jury of his peers.

On the same weekend, Osama, his wife and son were murdered in their home, as were the son, daughter-in-law and three grandchildren of Gaddafi, in their home.

Are any of us safe in our homes from murderous 'peace prize' winners?

The peace prize was just a bribe to get a US president to take the climate change conference seriously. Obama recognised the hypocrisy in accepting it when he was sending more troops to Afghanistan. Still accepted it though.

Sorry, but when reading the headline about Bin Ladens death, I wondered 1. Is this for real? I thought he was dead years ago from kidney failure. 2. The US financial empire is crumbling and what better way to boost the dollar while slamming the metals ( but that didn't last long ). 3. Want proof he's really dead? Sorry, the body was dumped in the ocean with the ruby red slippers. Not even his broom stick was left. All of this over hyped event on a late Sunday evening, smelled of something bigger or at least a portal to something bigger that has yet happened in financial land. We do live in some interesting times and no doubt the corporate media will spin this for several days. To what end? I guess we'll find out soon enough.

"Look we could bicker about this all night. What's done is done. Are you going to invest or not?"

 

So much for the flight to safety for the dollar the DXY chart per Netdania shows 72.96

 

and yes I know Step Brothers appeals ( or pokes fun of depending how you look at it ) to the lowest common denominator.

 

Also interesting is the the silver chart over the weekend... pretty big take down before the big news...makes me wonder if/who knew early.

So er,

Apparently the 'kill bin laden' operation occurred at around 4/5pm ET Sunday.

Obumma made a statement saying bin laden had been killed at 10.30pm ET Sunday.

At 2am ET Monday bin laden was buried at sea.

 

Total time from killing to body disposal of world's most wanted man: 9 hours.

Anyone see anything suspicious here? Pass the smell test?

That's a faster disposal than the steel from the world trade centers.

Barry Soetoro having made four consecutive muslim holiday proclamations in a row and somehow forgetting his easter proclamation was sensitive to moslem customs.

Body must be buried within 24 hours of death.

No graveside shrine should be permitted.

I like how this OBL thing went from "killed in an airstrike" to the CIA psy-ops version where it's a Jerry Bruckheimer movie with the President commanding teams of Navy Seals coming in on helicopters swooping in and engaging in a gun battle during which they ask OBL to surrender and he resists and they shoot him in the head and then bury him quickly at sea as is Muslim custom.  You killed a sociopathic prick who killed thousands of our citizens isn't that good enough.

Couple meanderings on this:

  • If it was May 1, 2003, it would mean a whole lot more
  • It is simultaneously a closing (for us) and an opening (for them) of a wound - it will be a little while before a "new normal" takes hold in the markets and the streets
  • Doesn't hurt BHO's re-election bid
  • Doesn't affect untenable U.S. and Europe debt situations
  • Seems unlikely to calm MENA unrest
  • The "head" of Al Quaeda is no longer a known entity...

One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed...Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth.  He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.  He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.  (Rev 13:3,11-12)

The only question is why the global power elite have directed the USSA lamescream media propaganda machine to ressurect Bin Ladin at this time.  Presumably, as a diversion/distraction from the real news and set up their next planned "terror" attack that will cause the 'murkin sheeple to once again give up essential liberty for a little temporary safety.

 This advancement in global events is a boon for us ZH'ers. I was anticipating Timmy/Bennies dual run for, and subsequent judicious appointment to the office of POTUS, was gonna be the upcoming "swan" event. Not killing a "son of libya", and a CIA  sub-contractor inside of a 1 week period, as a near term inflection point. This is a war front effort, not a measure to which the recent Pentagon's disclosure of the biggest threat to the U.S. being Wall Street.

Both will prove just to be a hiccup in events...with certian blow-back, requiring more "global lending/recovery". Followed inevitably by an IMF/BIS/FED cry/decree at the podium in Congress for the indenturement of at least 2 more generations of America's children.

 I ask again, this time to include the armed forces, with local law enforcement. Why do the police need squad cars, when most Americans know the majority of criminals gather around the corners of Main, and 1st, in any town in the US?  Now including, why are our Armed Forces facing needs for all this overseas, and very costly, military activities. When our biggest threat lies within our own borders?

I question the compentence of these actions.  As well, motivations behind the use of deadly force on foreign lands, so long as the pentagon has publicly disclosed to the people where the biggest threat to the United States lies. As for this "War on Terror". The population of the US may want to consider issue's of the homeland a priority vs. international activities of this nature.

 Its all a distraction...stay focused.
