"Officials: Bin Laden eyed small cities as targets"


The interesting part:


"He also schemed about ways to sow political dissent in Washington and play political figures against one another, officials said."

So there you have it. All those traitors, lily livers, and pantywaists bellyaching about the endless Wars on (some) Terror... It was all Osama Goldstein's doing!


Wanna know something funny? I'm really going out on a limb here by even admitting I am having such self-speculation, but just last night, I was attempting to discern what is wrong with the NBA and I am convinced there is a "small city movement" of varying levels of occult, psychological and economic importance. I am most certainly not conflating anything about the NBA with these developments concretely. However, I am conflating a growing importance on "small towns" which are essentially, what do they call them, "urban statistical areas"?

I have been texting back and forth with friends and such about the scam that is the NBA as I've watched the playoffs play out. Again, no total conflation here, but there seems to be some undercurrent of small locales being ushered into a weird cult-like mass of varying behaviors. One of them are these small towns/cities

Please, bear with me. I haven't fully vetted any of my ideas yet in and of myself, but I only mention it so that maybe others can add to the "theory". Economically, the big cities are more or less spoken for. The "forgotten" towns and statistical areas HAVE money or people with money and are thus boons to exploratory dollars and changes in local thought and mood. Often these statistical areas, while the population is less concentrated, can approach the populations of more concentrated metropolises.

Think of Seattle's NBA team moving to OKC. Now turn on a game played in places like OKC or Memphis. Each and every fan in the arenas are wearing the same goddamned shirt, like lemmings. Why? Sure, for a nice little perk, a shirt to take home and to add to boosterism. Fine. Not my point.

Image

But the sheer disaster capitalist scheme seems to be at work. Now I don't know why this came to me in this way, but LA took a dive.

But last night I got to thinking, why only in these little back water markets. And why did it look like LA took a dive. And I began to wonder what it is with the "smaller markets"? Why haven't we been hit by more NYC style "terrorist" attacks? Why are all these fans of these small markets looking like cult members, as if they've lost their minds. If I was going to a Denver game, I'd be wearing vintage shit, same with Seattle.

And I flashed on Bernaysian psychology. It's because something bigger is in the works. They could be building up camaraderie in "forgotten of" places in order to build into the force that will power the next wave of fascist mindlessness. I know, I KNOW, that is quite the stretch linking the NBA to this bin Laden bullshit. But I only ask that some consider it in the way we do at RI.

Just take the above for what it is. It's all about the small towns centered around military or pro-military attitudes and "mind control" in the sense of having a common purpose that may or may not have to do with "pride" that your little Oklahoma City has finally arrived on the NBA scene and the McVey bombings no longer are the first thing people think about when they think of you.

OKC and the Miami Heat in the finals. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Good, I'd be glad to be. But I have been puzzling over this "multi-contextually" for days along with the piss poor officiating of some games and the team-wide dives of others.

That bit that Osama was planning shit for smaller cities is simply more grist to what it was I was thinking about already and I thought I would chime in with some other smaller market/city shit that had been on my mind.

It has to do with linking the small markets.

82_28:

You touch upon something, if I may elaborate on your hinting, that a fellow parapolitical researcher posited in 2008. In fact it's this growing worry/fascination with rural small towns and the south/midwest.

If 9/11 was foreshadowed by a number of movies, tv shows, art, etc...

2006: Southland Tales(film, director of Donnie Darko)
El Paso and Abilene, Texas have fallen victim to twin nuclear attacks on July 4, 2005—a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions which has sent America into World War III. The PATRIOT Act has extended authority to a new agency known as US-IDent, which keeps constant tabs on citizens—even to the extent of censoring the Internet and using fingerprints in order to access computers and bank accounts. In order to be able to respond to a newfound fuel shortage in the wake of global warfare, the German company Treer designs a generator of inexhaustible energy which is propelled by ocean currents, called "Fluid Karma". Unbeknownst to anyone but its inventor Baron von Westphalen (Wallace Shawn) and his closest associates, the generators alter the currents and cause the Earth to slow its rotation, and the transmission of the energy to portable receivers (via quantum entanglement) is ripping holes in the fabric of space and time.

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

2006: Jericho(tv series)
The storyline centers on the residents of Jericho, a small, rural Kansas town, in the aftermath of nuclear attacks on 23 major cities in the United States. The series begins with a visible nuclear detonation of unknown origin in nearby Denver, Colorado, and a loss of power and modern communications, effectively isolating Jericho. Later, power is restored to Jericho by what is alluded to as the efforts of the U.S. government; but, soon after, an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) disables all electronics. Several themes regularly addressed in the show included the gathering of information, community identity, public order, limited resources, the value of family, hardships of fatherhood, and internal and external threats. The show also features several mysteries involving the backgrounds of major characters, the perpetrators of the attack, and the extent of damage to the United States and its government.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho_%28TV_series%29

Both stories involve nukes going off in southern or more rural non major coastal cities. There's been a number of other entertainment media with just a scenario, the whole notion of America's "Heartland"
as seen with OKC. Remember, as horrific as 9/11 was and everyone in the south had their flags...there may still have been this idea that NYC/DC=east coast liberal world.

It's funny, lately for some odd reason I've been watching a ton of documentaries that take place in small southern/midwestern towns and rural areas...not sure why, just sometimes I have a hankering to watch media relating to dilapitated barns, rolling grainfields and the heartland of Americas(45365, What's the Matter With Kansas, Gasland, October Country, The Nature of Existence, etc) Recently I saw for the zillionth time True Stories, David Lynch's The Straight Story and My Own Private Idaho

Anyways, there's also this
2005: Shattered Union PC game

During the election of 2012, the Supreme Court of the United States disqualifies all the presidential candidates from holding office, effectively awarding Adams with a second term. The public reacts violently when incumbent Adams accepts his next term.

During the Inauguration Day in Washington, D.C. on January 20, 2013, a low-yield tactical nuclear weapon is detonated in an apparent groundburst, presumably having been concealed there in advance. The yield is sufficient to destroy most of the city, killing Adams, his cabinet, and most of the U.S. Congress. The United States plunges into chaos.

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



At the 2006 9/11 conference, among a number of interesting every day professionals, I talked at length with someone who claimed to be a life long psychic/seer. She said she's had one continuous nightmarish vision that got more clear in time, and that was a nuclear terror attack happening in the south somewhere.

Is this really the thread for this kind of speculation? Not to be a curmudgeon, but this seems to be more of a thread about news and info about the incident, not the wooo-based speculation. Which is FUN and one of the reasons I come here, but maybe a different thread for it?

It just seems really off topic to me.

Yes it is off topic, but in the meantime it is realtime. I would not had even brought it up were it not for the mention of the planning of small town attacks. I had only been thinking about such a thing at that moment and the night before. I started this thread (as if it wouldn't have been started anyways) because of a text heads-up and then dutifully logged into CNN and saw the breaking news.

But ultimately it isn't off topic, I don't think. And since I was unemployed and am now not, I still eagerly tune into the morning TV news and Today Show etc, for the low down on the mindgames. And they are there. Along with, of course, the beautiful Natalie Morales. Anyhoo. . .

Miami isn't exactly a small market...
OKC has been going through a lot recently.

So yes, I could see why NBA championships and this post-mortem UBL threat are intended to raise the spirits of a struggling small-town middle-American populace.

The "conservative" party is a joke, Teabaggers are a joke, the economy is a joke. When they're not being poisoned by industry, Mother Earth is kicking their asses. Hope for employment and housing relief is a joke, hope for winning any one of the myraid wars we're sending our kids to go die in is a joke, hope for a better future is a joke. They're losing on every single front.

So perhaps OKC will win the NBA championships because it's necessary to throw a bone to our small-town, hard-right faithful, who are more prone to worship sports teams anyway. Let them rally around an easy sure win so they're not just a bunch of pathetic losers.

Go team.

Osama Bin Laden Wanted To Kill President Obama

Osama Bin Laden Threat on Obama Family


By BRIAN ROSS (@brianross) , MEGAN CHUCHMACH and MARTHA RADDATZ (@martharaddatz)
May 13, 2011

U.S. officials are analyzing one million pages of data from the trove found in Osama bin Laden's compound during the raid that killed him, and say they have learned more in the past ten days than in the past 10 years.

Among the things they've learned is that the al Qaeda leader wanted to find a way to kill President Obama.

Meanwhile, the first revenge attack for the bin Laden raid has killed 80 outside a military training center in Pakistan, and President Obama has acknowledged that threats against his own grandmother from another al Qaeda group are being closely monitored.

In the Kenyan village where she lives, the president's 88-year-old step-grandmother, Sarah Obama, shrugged off death threats against her from an al Qaeda affiliate in East Africa called al Shabaab.

"My life has not been affected in any way," Sarah Obama told ABC News. "It has not restricted my movement."

But President Obama seemed more concerned when asked directly about his grandmother by a Miami Spanish-language television station.

"There is no doubt that when it comes to the American people," he told WLTV, "that after having killed bin Laden there may be a desire on some al Qaeda members to exact revenge and that's something that we have to be vigilant about and we're monitoring all these situations."

The leaders of al Shabaab, which operates in war-torn Somalia on Kenya's northern border, include an Alabama-born-and-raised 27-year-old named Omar Hammami who goes by the nom de guerre Abu Mansour al-Amriki, or Abu Mansour the American. The son of a white Southern Baptist mother and a Syrian Muslim father, Amriki grew up in Daphne, Alabama, near Mobile.

This week, Amriki, who is under indictment on federal terror charges in Alabama, was recorded issuing threats against the United States and President Obama.

"Today we remind Obama, and the rest of his cronies, that they have entered the wrong war," said Amriki.

Bin Laden's own writings discovered at his compound indicate he urged his followers to assassinate the President, and find ways to disrupt the 2012 American elections.

"I would say this is probably very personal on bin Laden's part, to kill a President that he believes has violated the Muslim faith," said Brad Garrett," an ABC News consultant and former FBI profiler. "He is incensed, inflamed, obsessed about killing the President."

In fact, the video of bin Laden watching television in his hideout shows that whenever President Obama came on the screen, bin Laden quickly tried to change the channel.

It was President Obama who got bin Laden first.

In Kogelo, Kenya, security has been increased around the home of President Obama's step-grandmother.

Kenyan police told ABC News they are patrolling round the clock after the threat from Al Shabaab.

Sarah Obama has been protected ever since Obama became president, and security was added to her house the day after bin Laden was killed because of fear of reprisals. The number of patrolling officers has ballooned, however, since Al Shabaab's threat was issued. One police chief told ABC News he now had enough officers "to patrol the entire village."
Mazars and Deutsche Bank could have ended this nightmare before it started.
They could still get him out of office.
But instead, they want mass death.
Don’t forget that.

Believe it or not, when it comes to these "statistical areas" Miami becomes a "small market", but an anomaly among the other "statistical areas", because we wouldn't think it the case. Though many more people live there than Denver, it is considered a smaller market. And then you have the added bullshit I'm still trying to figure out about LeBron James leaving of Cleveland and these "designer teams" which are all the rage.

As I was writing this they were talking about the floods along the Mississippi and then segued into the re-grand opening of the Grand Ol Oprey.

Yeah, back to topic. This is definite "bird walking", as they used to say when getting interested in a different subject while discussing another. But, it is interesting, to me at least. And 8bit. 8)

Obama 2012 campaign season.

Step one: "Kill Osama"

Step two: "Claim Osama wanted to kill Obama".

Step three: Laugh your ass off as the voters do exactly what they are programmed to do.

Step four: Blow up a bunch of people somewhere, how 'bout Pakistan? since they're the enemies du jour -- and blame it on "Al Queda", who our generals have admitted numbers less than 100 in the mountains somewhere, hillbillies.

Exclusive: Pornography found in bin Laden hideout: officials
.WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A stash of pornography was found in the hideout of Osama bin Laden by the U.S. commandos who killed him, current and former U.S. officials said on Friday.

The pornography recovered in bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, consists of modern, electronically recorded video and is fairly extensive, according to the officials, who discussed the discovery with Reuters on condition of anonymity.

The officials said they were not yet sure precisely where in the compound the pornography was discovered or who had been viewing it. Specifically, the officials said they did not know if bin Laden himself had acquired or viewed the materials.

Reports from Abbottabad have said that bin Laden's compound was cut off from the Internet or other hard-wired communications networks. It is unclear how compound residents would have acquired the pornography.

But a video released by the Obama administration confiscated from the compound showed bin Laden watching pictures of himself on a TV screen, indicating that the compound was equipped with video playback equipment.

Materials carted away from the compound by the U.S. commandos included digital thumb drives, which U.S. officials believe may have been a principal means by which couriers carried electronic messages to and from the late al Qaeda leader.

Three other U.S. officials familiar with evidence gathered during investigations of other Islamic militants said the discovery of pornography is not uncommon in such cases.

Shit's turning out to be a honey pot for pop-culture references to everything that stands in empire's way. Double binding legitimate questions and concerns ("conspiracy theorists") with ownership of porn, whilst also providing it in the long run. Clever, clever.

Three other U.S. officials familiar with evidence gathered during investigations of other Islamic militants said the discovery of pornography is not uncommon in such cases.


I thought the self claimed purity of Muslims is what makes them want to kill us. Now they're also just a bunch of douchebags, not unlike the kid down the street or the kid in your basement. Clever, clever.

I remember how much trouble they went to demonising Pablo Escobar after his death. So I think this is planted to make ObL look bad. Although, on the other hand, there's the stories of him having concubines and a hash habit and an obsession with coke-snorting Whitney Houston.
