Justice, Lies, and bin Laden’s Demise

The American people (sheeple) are having the wool pulled over their eyes (again) on a scale that is frightening to behold. Their ability to see what is being done to them has diminished incrementally over many years, so most of them aren’t even aware of it.

How well do you see? Have you had a good look at the recent events surrounding the “killing” of “Osama bin Laden”? Or have you just let the media tell you what you’re supposed to see?

Large crowds have gathered in the preceding week to celebrate “Osama bin Laden’s death.” As one reveler put it, “The villain of our time was captured and killed.” Another said that bin Laden’s death, “brings us all some sort of closure or vindication, knowing Public Enemy Number 1 is off the streets.”

For several days now, the prevailing sentiment across America has been: The evil terrorist responsible for the attacks of 9-11 is finally dead! Justice has been done! America rules!

And, in agreement with what President Obama said, the consensus seems to be, “The world is safer…”

Really? I want to show you that it is very likely that we are all potential victims of a hoax: that is, the raid of bin Laden’s house did not happen and he was not killed as reported. (However; I must admit that I am slightly more inclined to believe the raid did happen; so we will look at both possibilities.)

To determine what actually took place on May 2, 2011, we should first examine the evidence.

Unfortunately, there isn’t any. Think about it: the only reason we think a house in Pakistan was raided by Navy SEALs who landed in helicopters and killed several people, including Osama bin Laden, is because a few members of the Obama staff have told us these things happened!

Sure, there were helicopters at the specified location, and a few witnesses heard gunfire, but everything else we know has been told to us by a select few — no one who was supposedly actually involved in the operation, except for CIA director Leon Panetta, has given an account.

Understand that most of things we read in the paper are not first-hand accounts. They have been passed through three, four, five, or more people before they get to the writer. And they can usually all be traced back to two or three sources — the ones who originate what is made known.

With the bin Laden story, we read things like, “A U.S. official briefed on the raid said…” and “officials briefed on the matter said…” and “A U.S. intelligence agent said…” All these people are fed the official story and are sent out to spread it around, but most of it comes from the top two or three people. They can get awfully creative in telling the story — especially when some or all of the principals involved aren’t able to come out and expose the falsehoods.

How convenient that the alleged Navy SEALs who conducted the alleged raid must preserve their anonymity. How convenient that bin Laden and the other men who were with him are dead, and the women and children are being detained by Pakistan. (The Wall Street Journal on May 4, page A10, said that Pakistan authorities “… have custody of the four women and six children who survived the firefight…” And — get this: “A U.S. Embassy official in Islamabad said the U.S. hasn’t asked Pakistan to hand over bin Laden’s family members to American officials. Pakistan’s foreign office said they would be returned to their country of origin.” And promptly be forgotten, no doubt.)

So do we have anything to go on besides what some people have said? When government sources blatantly lie as often as they do, their word alone is not good enough.

The official account changed repeatedly the first couple days: bin Laden was armed, then he wasn’t; bin Laden had engaged the SEALs in a firefight, then he hadn’t; he had used his wife as a shield, then he hadn’t; his wife was killed, then she wasn’t; bin Laden’s house was a million dollar mansion, but turned out to be dilapidated and without air conditioning and worth less than a quarter of a million.

A lot of people are saying a photo of bin Laden’s dead body should be shown as proof of his death. Senator Dianne Feinstein of California said, “I think for purposes of 100% identification there is value in doing so.” 100% identification?

A small report in the Wall Street Journal was headlined “Release of Photo Proving Death Is Debated.”

This is what they want to implant into our subconscious: a photo is proof.

They intend to withhold a photo until the mantra has been thoroughly beat into our heads and they are sure that most people equate a photo with proof. Then they’ll release it. And everyone on TV will say, “That settles it!” and “The conspiracy theorists are wrong again!”

Anyone who actually believes a photo would be proof of Osama bin Laden’s death is sadly ignorant and naïve.

What about the rumored video of the raid? The Wall Street Journal reports, “John Brennan, assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, said Mr. Obama and senior officials ‘were able to monitor the situation in real time,’ though he provided no details…”

But a video, like a photograph, can be faked — especially when the government, with its ample resources and money, is behind the production. I think it’s interesting that the SEALs reportedly practiced the raid “…at a mock complex, a replica of bin Laden’s home, built at a secret base in nearby Afghanistan.” (USA Today, May 3, page 4A)

We must consider the possibility that the raid never actually took place. A video of one of the practice raids could have been made to offer as “proof” if the need arose. Or a video could have been made of a fake raid, using actors instead of Navy SEALs. Like a Hollywood movie, it could have been made to look like the real thing. This video could have been what Obama, Biden, Clinton, and the others were watching in the picture taken of them sitting in the Situation Room. Perhaps all of them, excepting probably Obama and Biden and the military officer, thought they were witnessing the real event!

I will concede, however, that it’s quite possible, even probable, that the raid did, in fact, take place as reported. But I DO NOT believe Osama bin Laden was killed during or after the raid.

According to several good sources, bin Laden died in December of 2001.

For example, consider the following excerpt from an article by James Corbett at corbettreport.com:

Given Bin Laden’s documented kidney problems and consequent need for dialysis, government officials, heads of state and counterterrorism experts have repeatedly opined that Osama Bin Laden has in fact been dead for some time. These assertions are based on Bin Laden’s failing health in late 2001 and visible signs of his deteriorating condition, as well as actual reports of his death from the same time frame. 

In July of 2001, Osama Bin Laden was flown to the American Hospital in Dubai for kidney treatment. According to French intelligence sources, he was there met by the local CIA attache. When the agent bragged about his encounter to friends later, he was promptly recalled to Washington. 

On the eve of September 11, Osama Bin Laden was staying in a Pakistani military hospital under the watchful eye of Pakistan’s ISI, the Pakistani equivalent of the CIA with deep ties to the American intelligence community. 

In October 2001, Bin Laden appeared in a videotape wearing army fatigues and Islamic headdress, looking visibly pale and gaunt. In December of 2001, another videotape was released, this time showing a seriously ill Bin Laden who was seemingly unable to move his left arm. 

Then on December 26, 2001, Fox News reported on a Pakistan Observer story that the Afghan Taliban had officially pronounced Osama Bin Laden dead earlier that month. According to the report, he was buried less than 24 hours later in an unmarked grave in accordance with Wahabbist Sunni practices.” Source

Perhaps the detail which is most deserving of suspicion concerns what was done with the body. This is where the credibility of the entire official account is thrown overboard.

• Dumping the body in the sea is tampering with a corpse and destruction of evidence. Aren’t both illegal? But, I suppose if you know you can get away with murder, you can get away with about anything. And what about the many laws which regulate pitching the dead into the sea? Probably broke a couple of those, too. 
• Why the concern to handle the body “…according to Islamic requirements, at sea”, as national security advisor John Brennan said? Here’s a man portrayed as a heinous, evil, despicable mass-murderer and he gets special treatment? Like they don’t want to be disrespectful?   
• The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that bin Laden “…was released into the Arabian Sea following an Islamic funeral ritual performed aboard a ship by U.S. military officers, according to the administration.”

Now, if that doesn’t make you angry…go back to sleep.

U.S. MILITARY OFFICERS PERFORMING AN ISLAMIC FUNERAL RITUAL ON A U.S. NAVY SHIP FOR THE WORLD’S MOST DESPISED AND HATED MAN??!! EVERY MEMBER OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY SHOULD BE OUTRAGED AND MARCHING ON WASHINGTON AND DEMANDING THAT OBAMA AND EVERY OTHER TRAITOR INVOLVED IN THIS BE STRIPPED OF RANK AND TITLE AND PROMPTLY JAILED! (Regardless of whether or not the dumped body was that of bin Laden [and I don’t think it was].)

Another point to be made is this: Muslims consider remains buried at sea to be lost, not buried. According to Mahmoud Ayoub, professor of Islamic Studies at Hartford Seminary, “Burial at sea is not acceptable.”

• Why the rush to get rid of the body? So as not to violate the Islamic requirement that a dead Muslim must be buried within 24 hours? That’s the excuse they’ve given. What an absurd lie. They got rid of the most crucial piece of evidence as fast as possible because they knew that it could expose their hoax!
•  Why was bin Laden killed and not taken alive? Think about it: you have finally captured the alleged King of Terrorists, a man who must have tons of information useful to intelligence agencies around the world, a man who, if killed, will be seen as a martyr, inflaming militant Muslims everywhere — and you kill him?

According to official accounts, “…bin Laden’s unarmed wife, who rushed the assailants as they moved towards her husband, was shot in the leg.” (USA Today, May 4, page 5A) Bin Laden wasn’t armed, either — wouldn’t a bullet in the leg suffice for him? But even that should have been unnecessary — he could have been easily restrained by a couple of Navy SEALs.

Truth has to be: they didn’t want this man to live (whoever he actually was).

• Something else that really seems odd: the Wall Street Journal says that “…the [SEALs] spent 40 minutes, with guns blazing, charging through each of the structures on the compound. Bin Laden and his family were found on the second floor of the large main structure, the final building to be searched.” (May 3, page A6)

Now picture this: bin Laden is sleeping. The sound of helicopters wakes him and he listens while they land next to the house. A short time later he hears gunfire, what sounds like a shootout. By now he is certain a raid is taking place. He’s not confronted for probably another 30 minutes.

We are to believe that this master terrorist who, with great cunning and skill, has plotted large-scale, elaborate attacks (including those of 9-11), and evaded the world’s best intelligence/spy agencies for over ten years (going back into the ’90s) is totally unprepared (even with 30 minutes warning) for a raid and doesn’t even have a box cutter to defend himself with?

Ridiculous. He would have had a place to hide and/or a way to escape — maybe through a tunnel. Or he would have been holding an AK47 to greet the invaders with when they kicked down his door.

Truth is: either it wasn’t bin Laden or the raid never happened.

Now there is a simple question to answer: WHY? Why would the Powers That Be foist this hoax on the world? What would be the purpose?

I do not have all the answers to that question. But I believe I have a few.

1. To make Obama look like a stronger and more authoritative leader. USA Today called the raid “…a triumphant achievement…” Former deputy director of the CIA John McLaughlin said, “It absolutely bolsters his standing as a national security president.” Pollster Mark Mellman said, “There’s no question it will be seen by history as a critical accomplishment of his administration.” (May 3, page 7A) 
2. To draw attention away from the murder of Gadhafi’s son and three grandchildren by NATO forces just a few hours before the bin Laden raid. The United States, Britain, and France illegally and immorally targeted a foreign head-of-state for assassination, and innocent bystanders were murdered instead.  
3. To revitalize the “War on Terror.” We have been simultaneously reminded, around the world, of the “enemy” we must fear and join together to fight. Remember: See Something, Say Something! 
4. To boost morale. We are succeeding in the fight against terrorism! We’re getting someplace! The going is slow and tough at times, but we can win! 
5. To justify the continued assault on our Constitutional rights, and the need for more freedom-robbing “security” measures. The security measures in place now have kept us safe, but bin Laden’s death has shaken many more terrorists out of their caves, so we must stay vigilant and beef-up security to meet the newly added threats! Better safe than sorry!  
6. To provide a “treasure trove” of (phony) documents. The Wall Street Journal reports, “…the Navy Seals who conducted the raid carried off five computers, 10 hard drives and more than 100 storage devices, such as DVDs and removable flash drives, U.S. officials said.” (May 4, Page A1) Just think of all the lies they can now come up with that they can attribute to information found among these items. The phony information might likely include: 

• details about the 9-11 attacks that “prove” it wasn’t an “inside job” but entirely planned, organized, and carried out by bin Laden and Al-Qaeda 
• documents revealing the complicity of Saddam Hussein in the 9-11 attacks 
• documentation showing Saddam Hussein really did have WMD, and they’re still hidden somewhere in Iraq 
• documents indicating bombs have been placed all over America (but without the list of locations) 
• “proof” that bin Laden was alive and well as of April 2011 
• “proof” that Alex Jones, David Icke, Alan Watt, Ron Paul (among others like them) are working for the CIA to spread misinformation

The possibilities are endless!

Phony documents can now be created and disseminated as if they are genuine items culled from this cache found in bin Laden’s house, and used by the Powers That Be to deceive, frighten, manipulate, and control us!

Anyway you look at it — whether they killed bin Laden, or someone they want us to believe is bin Laden; whether all of it, some of it, or none of it is a hoax — the people responsible for this fiasco are not heroes! Anyway you look at it, there are enough serious legal and moral issues to extinguish all pride-filled celebration.

We have heard the phrase “Justice has been done” a lot this past week. Anyone who thinks justice has been done needs to be reminded that: 

Justice, as we in the West have come to know it, requires due process. It takes place in a courtroom under the supervision of a judge. Prosecutors must prove their case; defendants are entitled to a competent defense; rules of evidence and procedure must scrupulously be followed. A jury must render its verdict. Punishment can be neither cruel nor unusual. (Bret Stevens, The Wall Street Journal, May 3, 2011, page A15)

Why not call it what it really was — revenge? And in this case, the means of vengeance was murder. Oh, but that’s perfectly acceptable if the victim is an enemy and the hit is government sanctioned, right?

I’m also trying — but sadly failing -— to understand why it’s wrong for someone to have murdered 3,000 folks on 9/11 but heroic for the Feds to murder Osama, three men, and one woman on 5/1, let alone all the others their illegal, unconstitutional wars have massacred.  — Becky Akers (Source)
