"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.

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.
