For a short time, America basked in the news that Osama Bin Laden was dead—at least until we found out Obama would exploit it to the hilt for his reelection campaign. At least until he took full credit for it, minimizing the work of the CIA agents, communications specialists, Black Hawk pilots, and even the SEALs themselves who took Bin Laden out.
Within days, Team Obama began to leak top secret information about the raid to the press. Within days, Kathryn Bigelow, the director of The Hurt Locker, was briefed by the CIA and given access to top secret information, even being allowed access to what is called “The Vault”, where the operation was planned.
Obama had a new operation to plan. One more important than taking out Osama Bin Laden: A blockbuster movie produced by election time that extolled his ability as Commander-in-Chief. That state secrets were being revealed to people who couldn’t pass a urine test, let alone a security clearance, didn’t seem to matter to him.
But that was just the beginning. Team Obama would use the success of the Bin Laden raid at campaign stops and on tee shirts and coffee mugs. We were even treated to a Hollywood documentary, The Road We’ve Travelled, narrated by Tom Hanks, telling us how great Obama was.
Of course, the only problem was that Obama likes to bend the truth a little bit—well, a lot. When Mark Owen’s book, No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission that Killed Osama Bin Laden, came out last week, we found out Obama told a few fibs about the raid.
We’ll discuss these “fibs” in our next article and video (watch Part 2 here.)

This is just one of the many LIES that OBAMA – the BOMB – has put forth.
What else will he OBAMA LIE about ??????????????
EVERYTHING, the same way he has been lying since he came to America. The time has come to take the trash out, eveict the usurper from OUR govt. housing! He is a lying POS dirtball
M’Bama lied?? {Gasp!} I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!!
Anything and everything he can.
The news stands are full of disclosures this weekend about Obama being a homosexual…not bisexual or hetersexual but homosexual and how Obama and Michelle’s marriage is a sham. The articles even stated that Michelle was unware of Obama being gay and did not know about the three of Obama’s gay friends (Donald Young, Larry Bland and Nate Spencer) who were all killed execution style in late October 2007 about the time Obama started campaigning. Donald Young’s Mother made some very pointed accusations concerning the death of her son. I feel sorry for Michelle and the girls. Obama as a homosexual has no place as President of the United States.
Whatever he can think of. the latest seems to be the incident in Libya.
he is a pathological liar;; it is a proven character flaw; not presidential material for sure.
I wouldn’t hire him as janitor !!!
PLEASE watch the video “Dreams of my real father” Many things we knew and others we did not know, BUT clearly a Communist tactic.
I think it is called “The Obama Code”….every speech he gives, means the opposite of what he says…I quess if it is code, it is not a lie?
That you are even presenting OBL with the WTC bombings and that OBL was taken out by Seal Team Six confirms that you have bought into the Propaganda coming our to the Whitehouse and the criminal cabal that perpetrated the fraud and murder of innocent men and women to instill false fear and terror to place their agenda. The Seal team Six killed someone but it wasn’t OBL. And the only reason obama and his handlers orchestrated this scam was to divert the attention from the forged colb that obama released on internet. OBL has been dead for years.
I thought you were above this kind of propaganda but I guess you arent. Who owns this media?
Finally someone who knows the score. OBL, a long time CIA asset was admitted to the US Naval Hospital in Dubai shortly before 9/11. He was treated for kidney problems and was also diagnosed with Marfan’s Disease, which is incurable. People do not live long with this. In various Arab publications, and also on Fox News, his death was announced in December 2001. Additionally, there are several reports, by eyewitnesses of OBL being buried in Pakistan, There are no proven or substantiated voice transcripts or tapes by him after that date. There have been, however, some phony videos, easily debunked, that were manufactured for whatever purpose.
I have been a follower of this site for some time. Excellent reporting and analysis; but this piece is disinformation propaganda and only furthers the illusion that Obama has actually accomplished something in his 4 year reign of treason.
Remember when Bush was asked about the threat of OBL back in 2005 and he answered that he wasn’t worried about OBL, that he didn’t matter? It was a short news clip that didn’t get showed again unless someone really dug for it. He wasn’t worried because he knew that OBL was already dead. They didn’t tell the American People or demonized anyone that said differently because they weren’t done with the fear factor for the terrorist attacks scams and needed to be able to use it when it benefitted their military industrial complex of murderers.
Unfortunately we are outnumbered by dimwits.. the info has been out for the longest time.. Bush did say it.. too many lemmings, sad, really..

Bin Laden was reported to be in poor health before he went silent. Back in 2000, even before 9-11, it was said he was suffering from Hepatitis C, and could only expect to live for only two more years, and that was back THEN. In year 2000, he ordered a mobile dialysis machine to be delivered to his base at Kandahar in Afghanistan. I cannot believe he’s been hiding out in caves on dialysis all this time. [Guardian]
Look at how Bin Laden has aged
This is a man who was clearly not well. Here he is in December 2001, he looks like total crap.
Bin Laden December 27, 2001 video
Healthy bin Laden
But by December, when that tape was aired, he was barely moving the left side of his body at all. He was clearly suffering from his diabetes, and low blood pressure. And remember, he had a wound on his left foot. When you consider that he was also on dialysis, you can guess that his kidneys were prolly failing him as well. [CNN]
The December 27, 2001 video was dismissed by the Bush administration, and in my opinion rightfully so, as sick propaganda possibly designed to mask the fact the al-Qa’eda leader was already dead. They were only saying it as a possibility, but I think they were dead on target. One aide said, “He could have made the video and then ordered that it be released in the event of his death,”. [Telegraph]
Musharraf thinks Bin Laden is dead too.
Pakistan’s president says he thinks Osama bin Laden died of kidney disease which he was unable to get proper treatment for, I agree.
A Bush administration official said U.S. intelligence is that bin Laden needs dialysis every three days and “it is fairly obvious that that could be an issue when you are running from place to place, and facing the idea of needing to generate electricity in a mountain hideout.” [CNN]
Look at Osama’s situation. Renal dialysis (hemodialysis) is something that really is reserved for patients in end-stage renal failure. (feel free to google any of this- How do you think *I* found out about this stuff?) That means their kidneys have just completely shut down. The most common cause of something like that would be something like diabetes and hypertension. Once that’s happened, if you’re separated from your dialysis machine — and incidentally, dialysis machines require electricity, they’re going to require distilled water, they’re going to require a sterile setting — infection is a huge risk with that. If you don’t have all those things and a functioning dialysis machine, it’s unlikely that you’d survive beyond several days or a week at the most. [CNN]
Karzai: bin Laden ‘probably’ dead
Osama bin Laden is “probably” dead, but former Taliban leader Mullah Omar is alive, Afghan President Hamid Karzai has said. [CNN]
FBI: Bin Laden ‘probably’ dead
Dale Watson, FBI counter-terrorism chief, says he thinks Osama bin Laden is “probably” dead. [BBC]
An Arab News magazine even ran bin Laden’s will:
The editor-in-chief of a London-based Arab news magazine said a purported will it published was written late in year 2001 by Osama bin Laden, and shows “he’s dying or he’s going to die soon.” [CNN]
Translation of Funeral Article in Egyptian Paper:
al-Wafd, Wednesday, December 26, 2001 Vol 15 No 4633
News of Bin Laden’s Death and Funeral 10 days ago
Usama bin Laden has died a peaceful death due to an untreated lung complication, the Pakistan Observer reported, citing a Taliban leader who allegedly attended the funeral of the Al Qaeda leader. “The Coalition troops are engaged in a mad search operation but they would never be able to fulfill their cherished goal of getting Usama alive or dead,” the source said. [FOX News]
A prominent official in the Afghan Taleban movement announced yesterday the death of Osama bin Laden, the chief of al-Qa’da organization, stating that binLaden suffered serious complications in the lungs and died a natural and quiet death. [Welfare State]
Isreal scoffs at the idea that Osama is still alive.
Israel does not view bin Laden as a threat. [Janes]
Israeli intelligence: Bin Laden is dead, Taliban has new leader
Israeli sources said Israel and the United States assess that Bin Laden probably died in the U.S. military campaign in Afghanistan in December. They said the emergence of new messages by Bin Laden are probably fabrications, Middle East Newsline reported. [World Tribune]
When you hear a threat which is “probably” made by bin Laden, just remember that he’s “probably” dead.
Terrorism is all about scaring YOU. As long as Al-quaida can keep this bogeyman alive, the longer they will have everyone looking to the skies wondering what buildings will fall next. Don’t fall for it. He’s dead.
——————————————————————————–
AND FINALLY: The Central Intelligence Agency has closed a unit that for a decade had the mission of hunting Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenants. The unit, known as Alec Station, was disbanded and its analysts reassigned within the C.I.A. Counterterrorist Center. [New York Times 07/03/06]
‘There is no point in hunting for a dead guy.’ – Archangel
It’s easy to spin this into a conspiracy of lies and deceit but the simple fact of the matter is there have to be a lot of people, hundreds of them if not more, who all have to maintain the lie, the cover story. That’s a lot of rats anyone of whom could sink the ship with loose lips especially when money, lots of it, is offered for their story. The question now is: Who’s lying and whose telling the truth, i.e. the conspirators, the outsiders, or the supposed liars, the insiders. Time will tell or will it. Hitler and Elvis have both been seen leaving the building at various times in the past.
Conspirators get off on cherry picking bits and pieces of information to spin their web to convince themselves and anyone who will listen that they alone with their masterful minds have connected all the dots, have put all the pieces of the puzzle together and uncovered the truth at last. They write books that sell and makes lots of money from those who are also predisposed to and harbor doubts.
The only truth for certain in all of this is that the “thing” that sits in the WH is a fraud, a hoax. Could be that this conspiracy theory is buttressed by Obama having gone out of his way to brag about killing OBL knowing that he was already dead and knowing that Al Qaida would thus have no reason to come after him once his integrated Secret Service protection becomes minimal after he leaves office. That I can more readily accept as proof that OBL died years ago and that the SEALs killed some other poor schmuck more so than all this weaving and spinning of words to create the facade of a conspiracy as appears in this and other similar forums.
I am almost convinced the sheep believe the hoax because they enjoy being “victorious” i.e. “we are the country that took out bin-Laden..” The stupidity is almost too much to bear.. at least several commenters are smart enough to know better..
PeoplePower,
I too was stunned to see this video, narrated by western journalism, morphing bin Laden with shots of 9l/11 – he who had nothing to do with that caper, according even to the FBI – but then I realized that they were re-running tape from CNN. Not their own morphing/editing.
But for someone who doesn’t look closely at things these days – not saying any names; even though ‘the average American dumbed-down couch potato’ comes to mind – they might have misinterpreted this imagery, as accepting of OBL’s role in 9/11 but just scoffing at his takedown by SEAL Team 6.
We have been so misled by TPTB for so many years about so many things that it’s hard for even a caring citizen to know what to believe anymore. A real tragedy; especially in a country that prides itself on honoring free speech. Not propaganda.
By them imposing the pictures of the planes going into the twin towers while reporting on obl is a standard procedure to sublimanally plant the propaganda. Visual stimulation and subliminal message goes hand in hand with their misinformation.
Pretty sad, we really don’t know whom to believe, especially our government people
I have never heard anything abot bin Ladin being dead for years. The Navy seals would have no reason to lie, but Obama does. Obama had absolutely nothing to do with that raid and it has been proven. He just has to toot his own horn. Actually, Bush had more to do with bin Ladin being located than Obama ever thought of. Obama was just an observer. All this had been set up under Bush, with the CIA and the seals.
patti’s notes: to lovinspoonful: you are on same track as me. on youtube,article about one of his wives ,saying he died,around “01″ . why was his body not turned over to family for burial???? instead,they put “a” body on ship,dumped it ,in sea. more to this story,more cover up. and obama would have only given ok,but understand,raid already in process,when he wa informed. pl,orl,fla
I believe that Obama hates the U. S. Military! I believe that he feels threatened by them because they have each individually sworn an oath to defend and uphold the constitution of the U. S. Why do you think that Obama personally addresses the U.N. He, with no authority from our Congress,invaded Libya under the flag of the U.N.! The same thing happened with Egypt! Next will be Syria! Israel is asleep! They are blinded by the light! Obama does not want to represent the U. S. That’s why our money goes to the Muslim Brotherhood – To support our demise as a nation! Obama is NOT a U. S. Citizen! He does not want to be President of the U.S. He wants to make the U.S. his stepping stone to become President of the Globe! Destroying us as a nation is his most important step to bringing about “One World Government! No Borders; just electronic chips! He has an Agenda and it is One World – One Religion! He wants to move from the present system of governments of Individual Nations to a One World Government with him as the “Head” We must WAKE UP!
I agree with your statement. He is always trhying to demean the military and these people are putting their lives on the line every day to keep his a$$ safe.
I just finished reading ‘No Easy Day’, and as a retired military senior NCO who held a ‘Top Secret’ cleareance, I can say with certainty, the government is blowing smoke up you know where, because I could not find any apparent violations of classified material in this book. It is all an O’Bozo fabrication known as ‘Another Lie’! It is great the author told it like it was and not the way O’Bozo told it!
..may not contain classified info.. I have no earthly idea why anyone would even believe the crapolla.. OBL died Dec 2001.. Madeliene Albright mentioned, Benazir Bhutto.. why perpetuate lies..?
The author of this fiction is lying also.. I have no earthly idea why anyone would even believe the crapolla.. OBL died Dec 2001.. Madeleine Albright mentioned, Benazir Bhutto.. why perpetuate lies..?
This should not surprise anyone. Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s life is a whole lie, and he is living a lie. He has perfected the greatest scam ever committed against the American people. I used to be proud of being an American, now quite so much anymore. We have a president who is a complete fraud, has divided the country like no one before and has placed us in such a critical financial situation that if he gets re-elected we won’t recognize our country in a couple of years. He is a communist muslim plant bent on destroying the country from the inside.
All this man knows how to do is lie lie and lie some more and idiots out there believe ALL of his lies.
I have learned a very long time ago that he doesn’t even know his name or where he was born because the person who programmed him confused him so much he doesn’t even know his true name of which is NOT Obama it is Barry Soetoro and he is a citizen of Indondesia.
I keep hearing about obama lying. This is by no means news. Now a world class story to report on would be “IF OBAMA EVER TOLD THE TRUTH” That would be a pulitzer prize story. DHIP I am still proud of America but dissappointed that it took playing the RACE card to elect an idiot into the White House. Worst of all it is belittles the African Americans in this country because you want to put forward your best to lead and this was a failure. Obama is probably one of the worst we have ever seen. There are thousands of African Americans out there 100% better qualified than obamy.
Pat plz do not hold your breath waiting for bozo to tell the truth. He would not know the truth if it hit him in his muzzie azz!
That putz Biden, can’t believe how many people buy into Obama and Bidens BS. It is embarrassing to America to have so many people cheering when they are told bold face lies. “Spine of steel” Biden says – Obama is one of the most spineless Presidents in history, apologizing and bowing to every enemy and spitting in the face of our allies.
Obama and Clinton constantly catering to the UN in attempts to give foreign leaders control of America. Obama theory of “Lead from behind” – Cowards lead from behind, warriors and heros take the front lines and lead.
Fact – Obama telling Russia – our enemy – that after his reelection he will have more flexibility. What do you retarded Obots think your messiah has planned to cater to our enemy? If he has to wait until after his reelection ,clearly indicates he plans to do make deals that are going to be unpopular to the American people. After the election, he don’t need nor care about the American voters because he will no longer need your vote.
If he planned to have a “steel spine” when dealing with Russia and be a hero, he would do whatever he is planning to do before the election, if it is something good for America that way he could use that image for his reelction as being a strong leader and America’s savior. -FOOLS-
people suffering visions of grandeur have a serious mental illness;;
I am hoping that obama gets found out before the election or I believe it is all over for our country as we know it. But the libbers are continuing to support obama after he wouldn’t give our military guys and gays live ammo….How can that be? The libbers are in lala land….how sad that the lies and killing and I am sure that none of his protesting his lies and scams have survived. Chicago is such a awful place and the policiticans are the worst….Thanks for the information and the update….

His lies are so horrable, only those who have the same distasteful lifestyle and ideals can stand him. It is a sign of the latterdays when someone guided by the devil has so much power over so many. He is far from a Christian or he would behave more like one. A warning to any who do love and follow him (do so at your own peril). A good Christian shows Humility, when has Obummer shown any Humility? He stated himself only those who have something to hide, do so.
That’s what Obama is a lier for everything. Obama has no back bone, but he is a stone killer, as long as some else does his dirty work, and they risk teir lives for the King of the USA. Obama has set into motion the deaths of millions of Americans, by law, called Obamacare. Obama and his family will live and the rest of have to die for him. Fight back vote Obama out, and Romney in to repeal Obama killer care. I have in my life time seen guys like Obama who talk tough and act tough, he’s not tough, he is a sissy. When you get these guys alone you can watch them pee in their pants and beg for mercy and they will turn over their children to save their own usless lives. Also tough guy big Joe Biden who thinks like Emanual that they are “Outfit Guys”
Every dictator, Hitler, Stalin etc are all cowards. Lets draw a parallel with Hitler and friends like Goering etc.
I am watching WW2 again on History Channel. The bastards live in high style while the poor slobs (I mean citizens) are in Stalingrad in winter freezing to death. Our soldiers are in 50C / 122F with heavy equipment and bullet proof vest in Iraq and sleep in the sand and Obama is flying around in style and dinning with the Hollywood trash. Geeeee I guess we do not have anything to worry about we have a Constitution. haha The Germans also had a Constitution. Hitler , a mediocre painter and corporal in
WW 1 and not a German is running the Generals in circles. We have Obama, a Carnival Barker with nothing to offer and he is “commander in chief”. blow me down
What the hell’s with the pot shot about urine tests? Suddenly the article seems a bit too hate worded for shock factor. And I’m no Liberal child either.
Its about being on drugs, street drugs, for recreation. Usually done by individuals with a less than stable intellectual compass. All very acceptable to liberal’s, it helps to degrade society and our country.
The drug tests single out marijuana users, though. All the real and dangerous drugs are out of a person’s systems within days.
OBL DIED in 2001. The rest of the world knew it. THAT is why the muslims didn’t give a rat’s a$$ when the PRETEND operation went off.
THIS “complaint” is probably by the romney (another PUPPET) group that wants to win the election but STILL won’t admit to the truth (OBL died in 2001) because it’s all part of the BIG LIE of the Elite WAR MONGERS who want eternal WAR!
Is Obama’s lips moving? Then you can bet he is lying. Muslims have been brainwashed from birth to “lie” and “deceive” non muslims. Obama was evidently an A+ student.
I don’t even believe bin laden is dead.
You’re not the only one, we have hundreds of thousand lemmings..
Correct me if I’m in error of facts, President Bush wrote the the first bailout check for GM before leaving office?
Second, all the “tools” used to find, and kill OBL, was put into place by President Bush, trying to find him before he left office, Obama only furthered that action?
VP Biden, said “Don’t spend all your time looking for OBL, he’s only one man”?
I’m glad OBL was brought to justice don’t get me wrong, but it sure wasn’t the intention of this buffoon to do it, in the first place. One of his first acts was to cut all the technics used by the CIA, Or other agencies to extract information from terrorists, and called them “Torture”. Basically handicapping any further interrogations.
And this Piece of Crap wants to take credit for the operation?
Osama bin Laden May Have Died from Kidney Disease
In a January 19, 2002, news article, Pakistan’s president Pervez Musharraf said he believed that Osama bin Laden had died of kidney disease.
General Musharraf referred to bin Laden as a “kidney patient” and said he believed Osama had died. From the article:
General Musharraf said the multimillionaire had acquired two kidney dialysis machines for use in Afghanistan — one “specifically for his own personal use and the other for general use.”
Do you really think Osama would have been able to survive while running through rugged mountain terrain from the U.S. military for nearly 10 years with two bulky dialysis machines in tow? Don’t you think he would have been easy to kill while tethered to a dialysis machine for dozens of hours every week?
Prominent Physician Claims Osama Was Healthy, But Why?
After multiple news reports revealed that Osama bin Laden was a kidney patient, one prominent physician — Dr. Amer Aziz — claimed that he had treated Osama multiple times and that he “was in excellent health and showed no signs of kidney failure.”
In fact, this November 28, 2002, article — Prominent physician admits to treating Osama bin Laden — directly refutes previous news articles about Osama’s poor health. From the article:
Bin Laden was in strong health on both occasions, said Aziz, a British-educated orthopedic surgeon. He said he saw no evidence that the al-Qaida leader had kidney disease, as has been widely reported, or that he was on dialysis.
Also in this article was this brief — but vitally important — piece of information:
Dr. Amer Aziz, recently released after being held incommunicado and interrogated for a month by FBI and CIA agents, told The Associated Press he knew nothing of al-Qaida’s plans.
There are two reasons I find Dr. Aziz’s testimony suspicious:
1.Dr. Aziz’s testimony came more than 10 months after the initial reports that Osama was a kidney patient.
2.Even more suspicious, Dr. Aziz’s testimony came after he had been detained and interrogated for a full month by FBI and CIA agents.
Even though Dr. Aziz was “only” detained and interrogated for a month, I imagine it was psychologically and emotionally damaging.
It is also not hard to imagine that Dr. Aziz’s release was conditional upon false testimony that Osama was healthy and had no kidney problems.
Osama Stays in American Hospital in Dubai to See Kidney Specialist
Gary North has written much about Osama bin Laden and his health issues — issues that have gone unreported by mainstream media. In his April 14, 2004, article — Two Long-Ignored Smoking Guns of 9/11 — Gary North writes:
In July, 2001, Osama bin Laden spent at least one week in an American-run hospital in Dubai. He suffers from kidney disease. The U.S. government knew about this visit. It even sent a CIA officer to interview him.
This particular hospital visit is intriguing because it implies Osama was in very poor health just two months prior to 9/11, making his 10-year flight from U.S. military forces even more unbelievable. Continuing on, Gary North quotes himself from one of his prior articles on the subject:
The story of bin Laden’s hospital stay was reported last week in Le Figaro. I cannot imagine a hotter story, yet U.S. newspapers are pretending that it’s not newsworthy — “not worth pursuing.” An Israeli Website has translated the full article from Le Figaro (Oct. 31). This should have been front-page news in every newspaper in America, the lead story on every network. But it doesn’t fit the official government version. The people therefore don’t have a right to know. Or, as we might put it, “All the news that fits.”
Arriving from the airport of Quetta, Pakistan, Osama bin laden was transferred upon arrival at Dubai airport. Accompanied by his personal doctor and faithful lieutenant, the Egyptian Ayman al-Zawahari (though on this latter, the testimony of the eyewitness was not formal), as well as by four body guards and an Algerian nurse, bin Laden was admitted to the American Hospital, a building of glass and marble situated between al-Garhoud Bridge and al-Maktoum bridge.
Each story of the hospital has two VIP suites and around 15 rooms. The millionaire Saudi was admitted to the renowned department of urology headed by Dr. Terry Callaway, an expert on kidney stones and male infertility. In the course of several telephone calls, Callaway did not wish to respond to our questions.
In March 2000 the weekly journal, Asia Week, published in Hong Kong, raised questions about bin Laden’s health, stating that he suffered from a serious physical problem and more precisely that he was in danger due to a kidney infection that had spread to the liver and required the care of a specialist. According to legitimate sources, bin Laden had delivered to a post in Kandahar a mobile dialysis machine sometime in the first part of 2000. According to our sources, “this trip for reasons of Bin Laden’s health” was not the first. Between 1996 and 1998, Osama bin Laden went to Dubai several times for health purposes. . . .
Throughout his stay in the hospital, Osama bin Laden received visits from many family members and Saudi Arabian and emirate personalities of status. During this time, the local representative of the CIA was seen by many people taking the elevator and going to bin Laden’s room. . . .
I share this lengthy excerpt because it corroborates Musharraf’s testimony about Osama’s kidney problems. It also lends more credibility to Musharraf’s assertion that Osama had died of kidney disease in late 2001.
Multiple Sources Say Osama Died in December 2001
In researching and writing about Benazir Bhutto’s misstatement that Omar Sheikh had killed Osama bin Laden, blogger Jen Clark made some interesting discoveries; mainly that multiple news sources say Osama died in December 2001.
Other reports, which seem to make some sense, indicated that Osama bin-Laden died in December 2001. An Egyptian newspaper called al-Wafd published the following article (Volume 15 No 4633) on December 26th, 2001:
A prominent official in the Afghan Taleban movement announced yesterday the death of Osama bin Laden, the chief of al-Qa’da organization, stating that binLaden suffered serious complications in the lungs and died a natural and quiet death. The official, who asked to remain anonymous, stated to The Observer of Pakistan that he had himself attended the funeral of bin Laden and saw his face prior to burial in Tora Bora 10 days ago. He mentioned that 30 of al-Qa’da fighters attended the burial as well as members of his family and some friends from the Taleban. In the farewell ceremony to his final rest guns were fired in the air. The official stated that it is difficult to pinpoint the burial location of bin Laden because according to the Wahhabi tradition no mark is left by the grave. He stressed that it is unlikely that the American forces would ever uncover any traces of bin Laden.
If the funeral took place 10 days before this article was published in al-Wafd and The Observer of Pakistan, this would put the death of Osama bin-Laden around the 16th or 17th of December 2001. Israeli intelligence officials also told reporters in October 2002 that they and United States officials believe that Osama bin-Laden had been killed in December 2001.
I followed Clark’s reference to the Israeli news report and found that the article is still online. The article — Israeli intelligence: Bin Laden is dead, heir has been chosen — claims that both Israeli and U.S. intelligence were aware that Osama bin Laden had died. From the article:
The Israeli sources said Israel and the United States assess that Bin Laden probably died in the U.S. military campaign in Afghanistan in December. They said the emergence of new messages by Bin Laden are probably fabrications, Middle East Newsline reported.
All these reports of Osama’s death in December 2001 are quite persuasive. But there’s more.
U.S. Government Insider Says Osama Died in 2001
The reports above are further corroborated by a Prison Planet article that proclaims “Bin Laden’s Corpse Has Been on Ice for Nearly a Decade.” From the article:
In April 2002, over nine years ago, Council on Foreign Relations member Steve R. Pieczenik, who served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, and James Baker, told the Alex Jones Show that Bin Laden had already been “dead for months”. [...] “I found out through my sources that he had had kidney disease. And as a physician, I knew that he had to have two dialysis machines and he was dying,” Pieczenik told Jones during the April 24, 2002 interview.
Steve R. Pieczenik’s testimony cannot be easily dismissed. He’s worked for five U.S. presidents and worked directly with Osama bin Laden in the late 70s and early 80s.
This Pennington Press article quotes Steve R. Pieczenik at length. It is well worth reading. Here’s one of the most relevant excerpts from the article:
Pieczenik said that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001, “Not because special forces had killed him, but because as a physician I had known that the CIA physicians had treated him and it was on the intelligence roster that he had marfan syndrome,” adding that the US government knew Bin Laden was dead before they invaded Afghanistan.
Marfan syndrome is a degenerative genetic disease for which there is no permanent cure. The illness severely shortens the life span of the sufferer.
“He died of marfan syndrome, Bush junior knew about it, the intelligence community knew about it,” said Pieczenik, noting how CIA physicians had visited Bin Laden in July 2001 at the American Hospital in Dubai.
“He was already very sick from marfan syndrome and he was already dying, so nobody had to kill him,” added Pieczenik, stating that Bin Laden died shortly after 9/11 in his Tora Bora cave complex.
This gives even more credence to the theory that Osama bin Laden died more than 9 years ago in the mountains of Afghanistan. If this is indeed true (and I believe it is), then why has the U.S. claimed for nearly 10 years that Osama is still alive? And why has the U.S. all of a sudden “found” Osama, killed him, and sunk his body to the bottom of the ocean just 12 hours after his death?
To Wage War, You Need an Enemy
As the War on Terror began, Osama bin Laden was made out to be Enemy #1. His regular appearances in U.S. news media made him the face of terror. So as long as Osama was alive, it gave the U.S. an excuse to continue the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
William L. Anderson draws the apt comparison between Osama and George Orwell’s fictional character Emmanuel Goldstein:
In George Orwell’s classic 1984, the government of Oceania — Big Brother — tells the people that they have a common enemy — Goldstein. At their daily “hate” sessions, the picture of Goldstein comes up on the screen, while the people scream in anger and horror at the image. Goldstein, they are told, is everywhere and must be destroyed.
In like manner, Osama bin Laden has been used as the focus of American hate… and the source of American fear.
Andy Rooney wrote an op-ed piece on November 21, 2002, titled “Andy believes Osama is dead.” In it, he makes an astute observation:
I don’t like being suspicious of my own government, but this is the most secretive government the United States has ever had. You have to consider what reasons our leaders might have for perpetuating the idea that bin Laden is alive. I suppose our “war on terror” would lose some of its urgency if the main object of our search were proved to be dead. That would be one reason for our government to continue saying bin Laden is alive.
I personally believe it was not only expedient to convince Americans that Osama bin Laden was still alive — it was also strategic. In fact, a February 11, 2002, article hints at this very purpose:
George Friedman, chairman of a global intelligence forecast service, STRATFOR, blamed U.S. military and political strategy for casting Bin Laden as “a critical element in psychological warfare” in the U.S. and abroad.
In other words, just as the fictional character of Emmanuel Goldstein was used to unite the citizens of Oceania against a common enemy, so Osama bin Laden has been used for military and political purposes inside the U.S.
So long as Osama was alive, he could be used to create and perpetuate fear in Americans so they would more readily go to war, give up their freedoms, and allow the President to continue to trample the Constitution.
The Real Reason the U.S. Claims Osama Is Now Dead
Of course, I can only speculate about the timing of Osama’s “latest” death.
As the news of Osama’s death broke out, millions of Americans began to celebrate. Tens of thousands who attended a baseball game in Philadelphia on Sunday night began chanting “U.S.A.” when they first heard the news.
Which makes me think that perhaps the timing of the news was designed to boost consumer confidence and open their wallets. After all, the economic conditions in the U.S. are deteriorating with every passing month.
Gerald Celente suggests Osama’s death is being used to draw attention away from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s April 27 announcement that he will continue to flood the world with cheap money.
Steve R. Pieczenik (quoted above) suggested that “the decision to launch the hoax now was made because Obama had reached a low with plummeting approval ratings and the fact that the birther issue was blowing up in his face.”
Stephen Jones points out that May 1, 2011, is the 235th anniversary of the founding of the Illuminati on May 1, 1776. Does the recent assassination in Pakistan have special significance to the Illuminati?
Other sources suggest that the event has given the U.S. a reason to wage war against Pakistan. After all, they were harboring Osama bin Laden, a known terrorist, and the U.S. has previously declared that it will wage war on any country that provides protection to terrorists.
The worst possibility of all is that the U.S. government is using Osama’s death in preparation for another false flag event against U.S. citizens. The warnings of “heightened terrorist threat” are coming out of Washington daily. The U.S. government could easily carry out a “new 9/11″ event on American soil, disguise its true origins, and then conveniently blame the “terrorists” who are angry about us killing Osama.
In the end, we’ll probably never know for sure why the U.S. decided to do what it did at this point in time. The important thing is that we refuse to take mainstream news at face value and dig up the truth as best we can so we see things accurately and plan accordingly.
Don’t be scared. Be prepared.

PeoplePower @ 4:06pm:
Excellent summary – and especially for pointing out the similarity with Orwell’s character Goldstein, under the heading ‘To Wage War, You Need an Enemy’. These people have such a jaundiced view (pun intended) of the average American – based on other public opinion-generating campaigns – that that they’re even getting sloppy about how they manipulate the masses/telegraph their ‘game book’. (if it worked for Big Brother….). Hopefully even the dumbed-down Average Joe will begin to see through their camouflage.
What is pathetic is that we have to go outside of the MSM to get accurate reporting anymore. And we sure don’t need alternative media falling into the same tripbag as the MSM. Hell, I’m going up there and reporting this piece of propaganda.
I had heard from people like Christopher Hitchens that Osama had been dead years before this raid. I had also heard that he had been crushed in a cave in Tora Bora, but some tapes emerged (probably re-runs and edited tapes), and that story was scrubbed because they couldn’t prove he was dead anyway, especially with all the ‘Bush lied and people died’ BS about the weapons of mas destruction that were moved to the Bekka valley..
The kidney disease story has the most credibility to me, so it seems that our military has been used to perpetrate more lies for Obama and his ‘administration’. It makes me sick.
And there’s this: “Gerald Celente suggests Osama’s death is being used to draw attention away from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s April 27 announcement that he will continue to flood the world with cheap money.”
Yes, and that was the date that Barry released the constructed, fraudulent document that was supposed to be his long-form BC. Distraction, it’s all about distraction.
We’ve been lied to for the past 50 years by this main stream media and our treasonous corrupt government.
Big shock–Obama lied to suit his own purposes. The guy is a serial pathologic narcissistic liar. The only amazing part is how long he’s gotten away with it, and what a blind eye the mainstream media turns to his often obvious blatant dishonesty.
(“No, the Churchill bust is actually still in the Oval Office…”)
Nobama has lied since day one and the lies just keep getting bigger and bigger and did anyone actually see Bin Laden because normally there are pictures of something like this even with that bearded dictator Husame or how ever you spell his name there were hundreds of pictures of him in jail yet there was no pictures of even them dumping his body out of the plane as they said they did.
How do we really know he is dead? Maybe he was behind the bombing at the embasey and the killing of the Ambassador and the rest of the ones they killed. Obama has lied about everything else and he most likely thought that will be good for my reelection. If Bin Laden is dead then now all we have to do is get rid of Nobama and get our country back and keep our constitution.
As the savages in the ME are now chanting: ‘Obama, Obama, we are all Osamas!’
It doesn’t look like the world love Barry after all…
no; you must be kidding;; obanma lie,huh???????????
Well, since Obama’s entire life, since conception, was nothing but lies, what do you expect the man to do? He’s continuing to lie, because he knows no other truth. His mother had an adulterous affair with Frank Marshall Davis (a known swinger), became impregnated, and back in 1960/61, women didn’t have children out of wedlock. They were shipped off to have the babies at facilities that specialized in taking in these women, so that the babies could be adopted out and the women could come back to their regular lives as if nothing happened. Only, Stanley Ann Dunham didn’t do that… her parents had her marry Barack Obama, Sr., to be a surrogate cover-up to the pregnancy. That’s why his name is on the birth certificate, because she was legally married to the man, in name only, to cover up Jr.’s illegitimacy.
Now, how would you think a child that has grown up with nothing but lies about his identity? He knows no other life but to continue the lies. This is what forms his uncontrollable need to lie to the American people. This man is nothing but lies, and he is NOT fit to lead this country and the American people, so he needs to be removed and voted out, and the damage repaired.
Unfortunately, that is not going to happen, because there are too many people who have bought into his lies, and believe that they will continue to feed at the government’s teat, just as communism wants them to do. Only, the money will run out, because we are rapidly approaching the tipping point of the people being able to support those that refuse to get off their asses and work, not being enough people to contribute to the tax base. I am not calling those that WANT to get their lives back and work to make their way, but those that have adapted to the lifestyle of do-nothings, we’ll get money from the government to take care of us. The 47% that Romney referred to as being on the government dole? It’s actually a much smaller number of those that have lived the lifestyle for so long, that they don’t want it to change. The 47% includes those that WANT to get off the government’s teat, and were forced there by Obama’s economic policies.
Nothing new here OBAMA LIES any time his LIPS are FLAPPING and SOUND is coming out!!!
Obama did not kill osama bin laden as he has been dead since 2001. His ratings were plummeting and he used this to boost his ratings, which it did for a short while. There were no photos and no body, because there was no obama. The seals may have killed his brother and some grandchildren or nephews but they DID NOT KILL OSAMA.
Do you mean to tell me, that after all the hoop and hollars from the White House that Obama didn’t build that? I can’t tell you how shocked I am to know that. Mostly because I am not shocked that Obama would mislead us. I am certain he was tense and apprehensive during the event, but George Walker Bush built that for him with the help of many other who built their part of the puzzle.
I am convinced that Obama-Biden is the most hapless duo in our history. We need someone to use a driver on the jobs issue instead of on the golf course where we could care less if he lied about his scores. It is too late in the political season for being struck by lightning to help!
