    Killing Osama bin Laden is a pretty big deal. You’d think that it would be in the interests of US forces to take a snapshot of the elusive terror leader to milk the propaganda value of such a momentous turn of events, and yet the corporate media has given us nothing but a years old fake picture. This makes little sense, unless of course, somebody is trying to hide something, namely the fact that Osama’s dead corpse has been on ice for the best part of a decade.

    According to some reports, Bin Laden’s body has already been hastily “buried at sea,” meaning that the comic book story of his dramatic killing is based solely on the less than credible word of the U.S. government.

    Of course, it’s probable that we’ll be treated to seeing all the gory details in due course once Osama’s corpse has been properly thawed and suitably presented for public consumption.

    But the fake photo, which is still being used by the likes of the Daily Mail and the London Telegraph even after it was proven to be a contrived hoax that has been circulating on the Internet for years, fits perfectly with everything surrounding the Bin Laden myth – the fake video tapes, the fake audio tapes, the fake claim of responsibility for 9/11.

    Everything about the Bin Laden myth that has been rapaciously whipped up by the establishment over the last 10 years has been fake, so why worry about putting out a fake photo and claiming it represents the freshly dead remains of the world’s most wanted?

    We don’t need MSNC to tell us, “We think that bin Laden ‘death photo’ is a fake,” because we know it’s a fake. It’s been knocking around on the web since before Obama even took office. Here it is featured in a story released over a year ago. As Stokes Young illustrates, the bloodied face of Bin Laden is an obviously contrived composite image created from an image of Osama that dates back over 10 years.

    CLICK HERE to see the fake photo.

    Typical. A fake photo of a fake terrorist killed in a fake war on terror. Well, why not?

    Why in the world would anyone still believe anything the government and MSM says when all they have done for the last 11 years is lie to us about everything?

    What's that old saying George Bush botched so badly?

    "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me"

    This kind of amatuerish propaganda will only fool those who really want to be fooled! And there is no lack of just such people around here.

    "Conspiracy Theorists" Blamed For Fake Bin Laden Photo

    The London Guardian has suggested that the fake image used by several British mainstream media websites this morning on their front pages was the work of “conspiracy theorists” who claimed it was genuine.

    The Guardian notes that the image was used by the Mail, Times, Telegraph, Sun and Mirror websites, who picked it up from an online news site. The image was removed by the newspapers after it became apparent that it was a fake that had been online for over two years.

    “Since then, however, the image has been claimed as genuine on a number of conspiracy forums and used to substantiate claims that the terrorist responsible for the 9/11 bombings had been killed.” Guardian writer Amelia Hill states.

    Hill provides no link to the forums she is referring to, or the “conspiracy theorists” that suggested it was genuine.

    The Guardian’s live blog speculated whether the image was real when it was first used this morning, where as this website, Prisonplanet.com, the “conspiracy theorists”, immediately reported it to be completely fake.

    < snip >

    This sorry saga once again demonstrates how the corporate dinosaur media has been completely surpassed by the alternative media and the new social media.

    Huffington Post Bans Commenters For Questioning Official Story of Bin Laden Death

    The Slog
    Monday, May 2, 2011

    After comment-threading at Huffpost this afternoon about the range of inconsistencies between the White House account of the anti-Bin Laden operation and what appear to be the facts, this little message greeted me when I went to leave a link to tonight’s piece there an hour ago:

    Sorry, but you have been banned from commenting.

    < snip >

    So, it looks like the Democrats have caught the Guardian disease.

    I believe Bin Laden is dead. But I also believe we are being fed a stream of bollocks about who knew what, and when. I believe it is my right in a liberal democratic society and a free Web to post about it. Clearly, I’m mistaken.

    Considering the sources...Why is it more probable that Osama has been on ice than was just killed? Please explain...

    Because it goes along with Poncho's crazy conspiracy theories. Didn't you know that everything you read is false, that is except for the things Poncho says and refers to. Only his sources are correct.

    @poncho:

    I did not vote for Obama, will not vote for Obama despite this happening, and will never vote for Obama, if only because he's a Democrat, but I will at this time, give him the benefit of a doubt that he is telling the truth, and I will always give the government the benefit of a doubt as well, because not doing so is like having a Bible you don't really trust and yet hoping that heaven holds an open door for you.

    A fake photo was talked about on the Diane Rehm show yesterday and caution given on such photos. There are media and other folk looking for publicity or trying to cause trouble. You can here the entire program at :

    http://thedianerehmshow.org/audio-player?nid=14149

    It is a very interesting conversation on the death of Osama.

    Makes a great deal of sense to me. Bin Laden has been on ice for years, the President just waiting for the perfect moment to fool the world and give himself a boost. And, of course, that perfect time would not be right before next year's election, guarenteeing him victory...it would be now....over a year before reelection. :tonofbricks:

    Oh yes Robert your sources are soooo credible aren't they? An illigitimate government run in a most unconstitutional and immoral manner with it's biggest donors owning and controlling all the (5 or 6 conglomerated) mainstream media networks. Yes Robert, the same folks who sit on the boards of the banks and corporations that ripped off your children and mine to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars are the same folks who sit on the boards of the MSM you trust sooo much to inform you of what's going on with their partners in crime!

    Hey see those guys in Obama's administration? Where'd they come from Robert? uh the same banks that robbed hundreds of billions of dollars from us to give to their buddies wives and foreign banks! That's where!

    Oh yes Robert your soucres are soooo honest and upstanding aren't they? 98% of congress and all the big wigs in the mass media belong to same group of globalists the CFR. That's not conspiracy theory. That's conspiracy fact! Imagine if you can Robert (if you still have an imagination) your wonderful democrats and your hated enemy the republicans and the MSM all belong to the same group of globalists. What's that say about your theory of having two seperate parties? Forget about checks and balances. We have "bipartisanship" instead, or is that "tripartisanship"? That means they all agree to the ruination of this country, the robbing of our children and the killing of millions of real people around the world. And for what, to rid the world of evil? :laugh:

    That's a bit like demons casting out demons, don't you think? Nevermind I already know the answer to that. :laugh:

    I admit my sources have made some big mistakes in the past, but the way I got it figured they've been right about 70% of the time. And your sources? How's their record?

    Well, they lie so much how can we tell?

    Like I told you before Robert, you got a knack for shooting your mouth off but when it comes to substance . . . and proving your point whatever that may be, if you even have a point. You only have the word of a corupt government and globalist mass media that's been caught in more lies and distortions than Planter's has nuts to back you up. Oh what a bunch of bed fallas you picked!

    That's why you have to resort to these childish and cowardly attacks on me instead of on the evidence that you know is stacked against you and your "official fairytails".

    If there's any jokes being played around here it's on you friend. And if there is anyone crazy around here it's you for taking the word of a corupt government and globalist controlled media without question.

    Oh wait I'm sorry, you do question it don't you. . .whenever a globalist huckster with an "R" in front his name is in power. Ha Ha Ha! Now that is funny! :laugh:

    I got just one question for you friend. Are you ever going to man up and start sticking up for country and it's people or are you just going to keep on defending one half of the crooks in Washington just because they "appear" to be on a different team?

    That's explains alot then. Thank you for being so honest.

    On behalf of the 500,000 thousand Iraqi children who died of starvation and lack of medical care because of the sanctions placed on them by the very same government you always give the benefit of the doubt to. But as Madeleine Albright said, 500,000 dead children was worth it! This is what you've been consenting too by always giving the government the benefit of the doubt.

    Thank you very much! You've been a most wonderful upstanding and deeply thoughful and might I add patriotic individual!

    You should get a big ole humanitarian award of some kind for your unswerving faith in government.

    Three cheers! Hip Hip Hoorah! Hip Hip Hoorah! Hip Hip Hoorah!

    Anyways this is what I take away from your little sermon here.

    Good patriotic citizens always give the benefit of the doubt to their government no matter how corupt and morally bankrupt it might be. And only vote for globalists with "R's" in front of their names.

    Oh no not Faux Snews! I'm melting, I'm melting. :laugh:

    Rupert Murdoch is a globalist Deary he'll never let whole the truth be told on his network.

    Ole Rupert is losing it and is all worried about how much of the market he's losing to the folks I use for sources. He'd like nothing better than to corportize the web. That means censorship in plain language. You know what censorship is right? That's when a corporito sits in a high rise office and allows you to only see and hear the information he wants you to see and hear. And yes he is a member of the CFR too.

    Not that you seem to care about censorship or anything. I did notice you didn't say anything about Huffpo censoring their comment section. Either you didn't see it or you don't care about one of this countries greatests contributions to mankind. Free speech. I wonder which it is. Hmmm.

    You should really research your sources better before using them Deary. I give due credit to my friend Carpro for teaching me thise valuable lesson. :smilewinkgrin:

    BTW Al Qaeda is always going to come to the aid of our government. If nothing else to show their gratitude for training them, funding them and arming them in all manner of places around the world like Afghanistan, Kosovo and now Libya! Our country wouldn't be what it is today (a corporate fascist militarized police state) without the aid of Al Qaeda and Al Qaeda wouldn't be what it is claimed to be today without the aid of our government, and folks like Rupert Murdoch and friends. Maybe you didn't notice the fearmongering in your article but I did.

    "Watch out the terrorists are going to get us all now because we faked killing a dead man!"


    You also might want to research the Bali Bombing itself. Those heartless terrorists turned out be operating on how should I say it? Less than a full tank. Turns out they were easily manipulated half witted pattsies in other words. It's like that with all the major "terrorist attacks" in the snews lately. Hey, don't take my word for it. Check it out for yourself, Deary. And keep a close eye on Toto while you do! Wouldn't want any of our government sponsored terrorists to get him. I like dogs. Dogs are honest. Honesty is very hard to find among men these days, especially those with great power like ole Rupert and company.

    Once again you confuse Al Qaeda with Taliban.

    Yeah let's take a "terrorist" at his word shall we. The help came through the ISI which is joined at the hip with the CIA. One might even say another creation of the CIA. So, even if Bin Laden did say this he was only telling a half truth.

    Just like the Libyan "rebels" are getting their arms through Egypt. Bought with American tax dollars and the profits from the Afghan poppy fields.

    Gee golly wow NS have you never heard of pausible deniability?

    Might I suggest you bone up on the Iran Contra scandal.

    The Taliban had just about wiped out the poppy crop in Afghanistan. But since we moved in Afghan supplies 90% of the world's heroin. This is another misuse of our military. They're out there guarding the Afghan poppy fields when they could be guarding our borders instead.

    Another "coincidence" no doubt. :rolleyes:

    Don't get me started on historical things NS unless you want another lesson like a gave you on global corporations and central banks. You remember how badly that all went for ya I'm sure. :smilewinkgrin:

    One of the sources that truthers often quote is "The Power of Nightmares" BBC documentary. One of the major contributors to that program, Jason Burke, wrote:

    "It is often said that bin Ladin was funded by the CIA. This is not true, and indeed it would have been impossible given the structure of funding that General Zia ul-Haq, who had taken power in Pakistan in 1977, had set up....The American funding, which went exclusively to the Afghan mujahideen groups, not the Arab volunteers..."


    In your own mind!

    This is a misrepresentation of what happened. There was a food for oil program in place to address this but members of the UN were part of corrupting that program. The sanctions did not starve anyone, Saddam and the members of the UN did. But then Saddam was mass murdering people before any of this happened.

    Speaking of Saddam, amazing the differences in press coverage of his demise and that of Osama.

    When I watched and listened to the press release in which we were told that Osama was immediately (within the hour) "buried at sea" because of the requirements of islam and that we don't have the body anymore...

    I thought - RED FLAG WAVING, RED FLAG WAVING...

    I'm not necessarily suggesting "conspiracy" but except for Poncho (maybe one or two others) am I the only other one who is saying "something smells fishy"?

    Yes, pun intended.

    What were they thinking!?

    Nothing fishy about it. They followed Islamic law to prevent real or pretended outrage at that law being violated. Burial at sea is permissible under Islamic law.

    Why at sea?

    Who would want his body buried in their country?
    Why allow a burial on land that would be made into a shrine for extremist?
    There would be a whole host of other problems in the logistics of turning the body over to an Islamic country ... and really, again, what country would want the burial on their land to act as a magnate drawing extremists to the shrine that they, the extremist would make of it?

    I see it as a very wise move.

    It is only permissible if they died at sea because of the need for burial within 24 hours.

    Various Islamic sources have said it was legal. It is true that others have criticized the burial. Islam is not the monolithic all believe the same thing that many in the West believe.

    Just as with Christians you will find people on both sides of the issue on just about any subject.

    Personally I believe they were both clever and wise to have buried him at sea.
