OSAMA BIN LADEN ANNOUNCED DEAD BY OBAMA (renamed thread)

[IanEye]

The video of "Osama" watching himself on TV?

He's holding the remote in his right hand. Osama was left-handed.

Nordic, we have already established that OBL like to watch pornography.
if you are already using your left hand to masturbate, of course you are going to train yourself to operate the remote with your other hand.

yeah jr, the cannonfire guy has a subsequent post where he admits he was wrong about the plugs. i'll try to find it later when i'm back at a real computer and edit accordingly.

Admiral Firmus Piett's Blog: After Obi-Wan Kenobi...


In a late-night appearance in the East Room of the Imperial Palace, Lord Vader declared that “justice has been done” as he disclosed that agents of the Imperial Army and stormtroopers of the 501st Legion had finally cornered Kenobi, one of the leaders of the Jedi rebellion, who had eluded the Empire for nearly two decades. Imperial officials said Kenobi resisted and was cut down by Lord Vader's own lightsaber. He was later dumped out of an airlock.

The news touched off an extraordinary outpouring of emotion as crowds gathered in the Senate District and outside the Imperial Palace, waving imperial flags, cheering, shouting, laughing and chanting, “Hail to the Emperor! Hail Lord Vader!” In the alien protection zone, crowds sang “The Ten Thousand Year Empire.” Throughout the Sah'c district, airspeeder drivers honked horns deep into the night.

“For over two decades, Kenobi has been the Jedi rebellion’s leader and symbol,” the Lord of the Sith said in a statement broadcast across the galaxy via HoloNet. “The death of Kenobi marks the most significant achievement to date in our empire’s effort to defeat the rebel alliance. But his death does not mark the end of our effort. There’s no doubt that the rebellion will continue to pursue attacks against us. We must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad.”

Obi-Wan Kenobi ’s demise is a defining moment in the stormtrooper-led fight against terrorism, a symbolic stroke affirming the relentlessness of the pursuit of those who turned against the Empire at the end of the Clone Wars. What remains to be seen, however, is whether it galvanizes Kenobi’s followers by turning him into a martyr or serves as a turning of the page in the war against the Rebel Alliance and gives further impetus to Emperor Palpatine to step up Stormtrooper recruitment.

In an earlier statement issued to the press, Kenobi boasted that striking him down could make him "more powerful than you could possibly imagine."

How much his death will affect the rebel alliance itself remains unclear. For years, as they failed to find him, Imperial leaders have said that he was more symbolically important than operationally significant because he was on the run and hindered in any meaningful leadership role. Yet he remained the most potent face of terrorism in the Empire, and some of those who played down his role in recent years nonetheless celebrated his death.

Given Kenobi’s status among radicals, the Imperial Galactic government braced for possible retaliation. A Grand Moff of the Imperial Starfleet said late Sunday that military bases in the core worlds and around the galaxy were ordered to a higher state of readiness. The Imperial Security Bureau issued a galactic travel warning, urging citizens in volatile areas “to limit their travel outside of their local star systems and avoid mass gatherings and demonstrations.”

The strike could deepen tensions within the Outer Rim, which has periodically bristled at Imperial counterterrorism efforts even as Kenobi evidently found safe refuge it its territories for nearly two decades. Since taking over as Supreme Commander of the Imperial Navy, Lord Vader has ordered significantly more strikes on suspected terrorist targets in the Outer Rim, stirring public anger there and leading to increased criminal activity.

When the end came for Kenobi, he was found not in the remote uncharted areas of Wild Space and the Unknown Regions, where he has long been presumed to be sheltered, but in a massive compound about an hour’s drive west from the Tatooine capital of Bestine. He had been living under the alias "Ben" Kenobi for some time.

The compound, only about 50 miles from the base of operations for the Imperial Storm Squadron, is at the end of a narrow dirt road and is roughly eight times larger than other homes in the area, which were largely occupied by Tusken Raiders. When Imperial operatives converged on the planet on Saturday, following up on recent intelligence, two local moisture farmers “resisted the assault force” and were killed in the middle of an intense gun battle, a senior Stormtrooper said, but details were still sketchy early Monday morning.

A representative of the Imperial Starfleet said that military and intelligence officials first learned last summer that a “high-value target” was hiding somewhere on the desert world and began working on a plan for going in to get him. Beginning in March, Lord Vader worked closely with a series of several different Admirals serving onboard the Death Star to go over plans for the operation, and on Friday morning gave the final order for members of the 501st Legion (known commonly as "Vader's Fist") to strike.

Kenobi and a group of his followers were eventually captured while fleeing the system, and taken aboard the Death Star, which was in the midst of surveying the recent environmental disaster on Alderaan. Darth Vader called it a “targeted operation,” although officials said four tie fighters were lost because of "mechanical failures" and had to be destroyed to keep them from falling into hostile hands.

In addition to Kenobi, two men and one wookiee were killed, one believed to be his young apprentice and the other two his couriers, according to an admiral who briefed reporters under Imperial ground rules forbidding further identification. A woman was killed when she was used as a shield by a male combatant, the Admiral said. Two droids were also reported missing.

“No Stormtroopers were seriously harmed,” Lord Vader said. “They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, I defeated my former master and took custody of his body.” Jedi tradition requires burial within 24 hours, but by doing it in deep space, Imperial authorities presumably were trying to avoid creating a shrine for his followers.


Lord Vader has denied requests to present photographs of the body, describing them as "too gruesome" for the general public.

whatever. welcome to moral relativism. embrace it. who gives a fuck... OBL is dead. that is all that matters. who "lied" about what when is so irrelevant. move on already (not you in particular 8bit) but everyone, who cares about some mixed up stories. We ALREADY KNOW WE'LL NEVER KNOW THE TRUTH about anything.

Last night my friend and I saw another similar piece on the tube, and hes normally not one to buy into theories or questioning...but even he was like "just seems so strange they wont show us the pictures, dumped the body at sea..and they want us to buy all of this?" And I was like "dude...thats what we call a limited hangout...create a honeypot side issue to distract from the real questions about 9/11, money trails, and moral justification for endless war"

I just think its ironic that there does not appear to be a large collective sentiment mistrustful of the government from the left like there was under Bush; only under the Tea Party rank and file...who seem to mistrust the government for completely wrong reasons

like "pictures" would prove anything to anyone. As IF people could even recognize him before the massive head trauma, much less after. Look, everyone "on the left" spent the last TEN FUCKING YEARS questioning. (those who didn't are not, defacto, "on the left") and what did it accomplish? Huh? Still we've got a nation of moron's watching TV. As if it matters. Spoon feeding idiots. And "the left" FUCK we want to change people perceptions and end war? Only one possibility for that remains, EMBRACE WAR. Then they'll all decide they hate it. Because they hate US more than OBL. Because they're sick and hopelessly so.

Keyword: REMOTE
Psyops is designed around mnemonics of language.

The reason for the pic of OBL with a tv remote in his hand is that controlled demolition of the three World Trade Center buildings was done by
remote control
and there is technology capable of flying those allegedly 'hijacked' planes by
remote control.

Same reason that:

> the demolition cutter charges smuggled into the buildings were changed into 'box cutters smuggled aboard planes.'
> the fact that no plane hit WTC3 was changed into discrediting disinfo that no planes hit the Twin Towers
> the fact that it took explosive power to hurl steel beams through space was changed into discrediting disinfo about 'power beams from outer space.'

So I wonder if William Saletan, who here is saying the porn/pot/shield stories are probably bogus, would apply the same skepticism toward the official story of the crime OBL was thought to have committed (though never, apparently, charged). But that would make him a conspiracy loon and he'd lose his job and the only way he could pay his bills is by going on Prison Planet.

The Elegant Lesser Evil is working out quite well while the bumpkin spoiled ignoramus fades away. It is working out so well that it seems unlikely that he needs replacement. And if he sits with a congress with both houses held captive by the teabaggers, then several purposes will be perfectly served.

Imagine what would happen if some brave soul in a place of credentialed, award winning respectability let loose evidence directly connecting specific individual from specific govt agency to 911. I have no doubt that the evidence is there and that some people have hold of it. But they are addicted to breathing, schmoozing with big shots and going on lucrative speaking engagements and leading a blessed life in the twilight of what was once known as journalism.

I'm sure its been said but the pictures probably aren't being released cos they will probably show an exit wound at the front, not the back.

Creating the bin Laden Reality

By Paul Craig Roberts | LewRockwell.com | May 17, 2011

I have heard one dozen times today (May 13) from media that the US killed Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan. I heard it three times from National Public Radio, twice from the BBC, and from every TV and radio station I encountered, even those stations that play the rock and roll music of the 1950s and 1960s. The killing of bin Laden has now entered the legends of our time and, no doubt, the history books.

The US government that told us that Saddam Hussein had “weapons of mass destruction” and “al Qaeda connections” and that Iran has nuclear missiles that require the US to ring Russia with anti-ballistic missile systems, finally told us the truth for once. Obama found Osama and had him murdered, apparently unarmed in his underwear, defended not by al Qaeda, “the best trained, most dangerous vicious killers on the planet,” but by two unarmed women.

As I offered previously, if you believe this, I have a bridge in Brooklyn that I can let you have for a cheap price.

The government has created another reality for us proles. We won again. Us white hats got the black hat, just like in the western movie. Fantasy is better than fact, and us good guys are on a roll. It makes everybody happy, even those who have lost their jobs, their houses, their pensions.

So, who’s the next black hat? The military/security complex cannot do without a bad guy, or the budget could be cut and billions of dollars in profits would go missing. Without someone for Americans to hate, the show can’t go on.

Homeland Security says the next black hat will be “domestic extremists.” The CIA says it will be the next al Qaeda leader, bin Laden’s replacement, who will terrorize us white hats for killing bin Laden. The neocon brownshirts say it is Pakistan, who hid bin Laden from us, thus protecting him from justice being done. Hillary says it is China, and as the US economy continues its collapse, more and more fingers will point at China.

Airport Security will pat down more babies, feel more genitals, and radiate more air travelers.

But without bin Laden, we will feel safer and more secure, which is counterproductive for the military/security complex. Obama has made a fundamental mistake. He has killed Emanuel Goldstein (bin Laden), the hate figure who justified the trillions of dollars we have blown trying to get him.

Once Homeland Security, the CIA, and the White House decide who the new hate figure is to be, we will be off and running again.

It took 10 years to get bin Laden. This proves that all those security experts who say that the war will last for 30 years might be underestimating the necessary commitment. If it takes 10 years each to find and murder the next two leaders, we are faced with conflict that lasts across generations.

As I wrote previously, bin Laden’s killing serves so many different agendas that even those who don’t believe the story have hooked their wagon to it. Al Qaeda itself can no longer take credit for acts of terrorism without declaring that it was to avenge bin Laden.

The bin Laden story is now set in stone, immune from fact. Global Research has provided us with bin Laden’s last known interview, which appeared in a Pakistan newspaper on September 28, 2001 and was translated and made available to the West by the BBC World Monitoring Service on September 29, 2001.

In the interview, bin Laden says: “I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. . . . Whoever committed the act of 11 September are not the friends of the American people. I have already said that we are against the American system, not against its people, whereas in these attacks the common American people have been killed. . . .The Western media is unleashing such a baseless propaganda, which makes us surprised, but it reflects on what is in their hearts and gradually they themselves become captive of this propaganda. . . . Terror is the most dreaded weapon in the modern age and the Western media is mercilessly using it against its own people.”

But who would believe a demonized bin Laden when to do so requires them to disbelieve George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and the Western media?

We all know, don’t we, that in America the government always has the best interest of ordinary people at heart and always tells them the truth. If you don’t believe this, you are anti-American.

I don't know paul craig roberts... I think this whole 'fear' thing is played out. the only problem know is all the slow learners who are going to continue for some time reflexively parroting 'terrorism fears' that they've internalized due to conditioning. Like the kid who got the secret service visit because he though it would be wise to point out how a certain someone should 'watch out' for human-guided-explosives.

The "terrorism" inter-phase is over, now it's on to the real new normal...
