Islamist website says US tape on bin Laden fake
Agence France-Presse, Dubai, May 10, 2011
An Islamist website has accused the United States of releasing a fake tape of an ageing Osama bin Laden watching images of himself on television, and posted a video on YouTube it says offers proof. Shoumoukh al-Islam, the main website that broadcasts al Qaeda videos, posted a video comparing an earlier picture of bin Laden and the aired picture.
The plot thickens.
Option A1: He really did survive kidney malfunction and was alive (age 54). He was captured and his “execution” faked in front of his family after their helicopter ride as prisoners self-destructed, or not faked at all, the family in Pakistani custody is putting out the joint military deception line. Pakistan gets US out of Afghanistan, US gets to waterboard Bin Laden (which does not work but the macho-morons are in the ascendance again). His burial at sea was faked, he is being interrogated at Camp Peary or another location.
New Information on Medical Condition:
Now evidence from the medicine cabinet in Bin Laden's hideout and quotes from one of his six wives paint a picture of a 54-year-old devotee of natural remedies who was in much better shape than previously thought. “He was neither weak nor frail,” Sadeh, 29, told Pakistani investigators, according to the Dawn newspaper in Karachi, Pakistan. NBC News obtained a list of medications found in Bin Laden's compound and none are used to treat long-term chronic illness. Instead, the Pakistanis found drugs to treat shingles, ulcers, nerve pain, high blood pressure, common children's ailments – and Avena syrup, an extract of wild oats that is marketed as a natural “Viagra.”
A Yemeni who was just 17 when she was wed to a middle-aged Bin Laden, Sadeh said the 9/11 mastermind had recovered fully from two kidney surgeries a decade ago, Dawn reported. But Bin Laden's wife said he needed no dialysis. Instead, she said, he cured himself with his own regimen, which included watermelons.
Phi Beta Iota: A kidney transplant would have been required for the surgery to be successful. There remain severe inconsistencies in what has been reported from 2001 to date on Bin Laden's actual condition. The above information may be part of a more sophisticated military deception plan than originally recognized. If he was actually captured, it would have made sense to play down the “treasure trove,” which is suspect anyway. We share our confusion anticipating that others will make sense of it all.
Option A2: As above, but after being captured and put on the helicopter alive, he dies or jumps to his death. Here is one video that is just too good not to watch.
Option B: He really did survive kidney malfunction and was alive and in retirement. He was supposed to be captured but was accidentally killed in the heat of a night assault (with no return fire).
Option C: Bin Laden is still alive somewhere else. Here is one video depiction.
Option D: He died in 2001 timeframe as Dr. Dr. Steve Pieczenik asserts.
…since 1 May US officials have stated no less than five variations of the story of bin Laden's death. Pakistanis have issued three versons; Saudi news media have issued an entirely separate version of the death and al Qaida's general command has issued still another.
Without the corpse, it is entirely reasonable to believe that bin Laden could be still alive and in US custody. All of the evidence of his death is testimonial, not demonstrative.

Obama Kills Top US Terrorist Asset Osama
By Dr Gideon Polya

US President Obama has blocked 9-11 truth by the extra-judicial murder of Al-Qaeda leader and US-alleged 9-11 mastermind Osama bin Laden who was America's most valuable terrorist asset over the last 30 years by (a) assisting the US-backed defeat of the Russians in Afghanistan (and thence the dismemberment of the Soviet Empire) and (b) by killing hundreds of Westerners in terrorist atrocities, thus providing the anti-terrorism justification for the post-Cold War explosion of US state terrorism in the Muslim world (bombings, invasions, occupations and 11 million Muslim dead since 1990 in US-attacked countries. Scientific evidence says that the US rather than man-in-a-cave Osama did 9-11 but Osama was used by the actual perpetrators as an endless war-justifying bogeyman like Emmanuel Goldstein in George Orwell's novel “1984”.

Osama Killed. BULL! More Staged CIA TERROR 4 NEW WORLD ORDER Coming
Phi Beta Iota: Most people–including naive Presidents and their key staff and most CIA employees–simply do not grasp the degree to which the CIA covert operations culture (and now the military culture) nurture psychopathic personalities who are absolutely certain they are above the law and their “mission” demands lying to Congress and the Executive as well as the US public and foreigners. It also includes, as we now know, rendition and torture. Col Ed Landsdale was the primary actor in originating the concept of “fake terror” in the Philippines as leader of a covert action, and the NATO/CIA fake terror operations in Italy are now well-documented. It is impossible to over-estimate the depth of the depraved “culture of deception” within certain [small but overly influential] circles of the CIA, the same ones that engaged in waterboarding and that have absolutely no grip on reality–they live in a fake world isolated from accountability. We continue to believe that the Bin Laden Show has been staged, and continue to recommend a complete investigation by a MULTINATIONAL international legal tribunal able to hold the US accountable for extra-judicial assassination without any proof or legal basis. Israel is also a major player–perhaps the major player, in faking terrorist incidents to keep the US “War on Terror” as a flanking and funding movement. The “Underpants Bomber” and the exploding print cartridges shipped via UPS were in all probability both Israeli covert operations aimed directly at the US audience.

Pakistan PM Calls Accusations Over Bin Laden ‘Absurd'
VOA, May 09, 2011
Pakistan's Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani Monday denied that his country's intelligence agencies helped hide Osama bin Laden, insisting that allegations of complicity or incompetence were “absurd”.
Intelligence failure
In a speech to Islamabad's parliament, Gilani said it was “disingenuous” for anyone to insinuate that Pakistani authorities, including the country's spy agency, the ISI, were aligned with al-Qaida.
“We emphatically reject such accusations. Speculative narratives in the public domain are meant to create despondency,” said Gilani. “We will not allow our detractors to succeed in offloading their own shortcomings and errors of omission and commission in a blame game that stigmatizes Pakistan.”
Osama bin Laden mission agreed in secret 10 years ago by US and Pakistan
Phi Beta Iota: CIA is still in denial over the reality that the Pakistani ISI put one over on them for decades. The FACT is that ISI has always had a special section for nurturing radical Islamic factions and the tribes, and CIA was all too quick to accept the claim that they were “renegades.” The Pakistan PM is blustering and knows that part of the truth. What we do not understand is why Pakistan, which has some very smart people, doesn't flip the tortilla on the CIA and start an investigation on how they set up the assassination of a patsy to “frame” Pakistan. We might as well make this interesting.
Noam Chomsky: My Reaction to Osama bin Laden’s Death
Guernica, May 6, 2011
We might ask ourselves how we would be reacting if Iraqi commandos landed at George W. Bush’s compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body in the Atlantic.
It’s increasingly clear that the operation was a planned assassination, multiply violating elementary norms of international law. There appears to have been no attempt to apprehend the unarmed victim, as presumably could have been done by 80 commandos facing virtually no opposition—except, they claim, from his wife, who lunged towards them. In societies that profess some respect for law, suspects are apprehended and brought to fair trial. I stress “suspects.” In April 2002, the head of the FBI, Robert Mueller, informed the press that after the most intensive investigation in history, the FBI could say no more than that it “believed” that the plot was hatched in Afghanistan, though implemented in the UAE and Germany. What they only believed in April 2002, they obviously didn’t know 8 months earlier, when Washington dismissed tentative offers by the Taliban (how serious, we do not know, because they were instantly dismissed) to extradite bin Laden if they were presented with evidence—which, as we soon learned, Washington didn’t have. Thus Obama was simply lying when he said, in his White House statement, that “we quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda.”
Nothing serious has been provided since. There is much talk of bin Laden’s “confession,” but that is rather like my confession that I won the Boston Marathon. He boasted of what he regarded as a great achievement.
