I shouldn't think I'd have to say this, but as I read through bulletins and blogs and emails and get phone calls and attempted small talk made on different subjects... I try to not say what is usually in my head.
"You Are Retarded. Stop Talking"
In light of recent news surrounding "Osama bin Laden's" supposed new video, I now feel it is mandatory that I give you all a 2 minute lesson on the world.
Osama bin Laden is dead.
Okay?
He's not alive.
He's not hiding some place where our military "just can't find him." He's not in Tora Bora. He's not on the Pakistan border.
(He's not kickin it with Puff Daddy, or Tupac)
He's dead. And he has been dead for over 4 years.
Am I going to prove it? No. You have access to the same information as I.
However.... if you'll pay attention for just a couple more minutes (I'm sure the reality show can wait) I will make a couple of points worth noting.
Osama bin Laden always claimed responsibility for his acts.
Always. He made tapes and interviews and told WHY he was attacking this place or that.
After 9/11, the REAL Osama bin Laden made this statement:
| "I was not involved in the September 11 attacks in the United States nor did I have knowledge of the attacks. There exists a government within a government within the United States. The United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself; to the people who want to make the present century a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity. That secret government must be asked as to who carried out the attacks. ... The American system is totally in control of the Jews, whose first priority is Israel, not the United States." (http://www.public-action.com/911/oblintrv.html) |
Right?
So... the government PANICKED! I mean, anybody who's vaguely aware of current events (read: non-American) would know that there is something fishy happenin! Too bad our own Fair and Balanced news corporations decided that we didn't need to know this.
The plot thickens.... So... they begin one of many FAKE bin Laden tapes. Y'all remember this one...
"Osama" is kickin it with the homies, chattin it up about infidels, and... WHOA! We catch him confessing to the 9/11 attacks!
"Ahmed, I thought I told you to put that camera away!"
So.... the government "found" this tape in somebody's house... Can you imagine that search?
(porn, porn, porn.... hmmmm... "Al Qaeda 9/11 Wrap Party")
And the tape played on the morning news, the noon news, the nightly news, news breaks, radio, EVERYWHERE. Finally... the government had PROOF beyond the shadow of a doubt! Right?
Sike!
You forget we are dealing with white people. And not just ordinary, everyday Green Bay Packer fan, Bud Light, ham sandwich on white bread-type white folk. We're talking about "We're off to our home in the Hamptons" white.
So.... when they hired an actor to play the villian... they didn't do a very good job paying attention to detail.
They all look alike. But not really.
In my search for information over the years, I remember reading a quote that really stood out for me:
| When you hear a threat which is "probably" made by bin Laden, just remember that he's "probably" dead. Also think about who benefits from your believing he's alive. |
Y'all can keep on going on and giving your life to your TV.
