Luke - most of this 'thread' isn't really about Osama or Obama. It isn't about this instance regarding whether or not we killed Osama.
Although the thread is labeled with the words "Bin Laden" I hear you. The underlying issue that keeps popping up here is freedom of the press, at least that's what those who assume conspiracy keep bringing up.
Back then we still had freedom of the press. If you are under 25 you probably don't remember non corporate controlled press. Fox/MNBC is the norm for you.
LOL; Perish the thought. I saw
Network in the theatre. (Ok I was too young to understand it all; but the roots were planted...)
Freedom of the press is one of the things that our founders felt was important in controlling our government. While there have always been state secrets - more things are secret then ever before. Throw in corporate control and political leanings in all our major news networks and you've got a major problem.
Quoting me directly without proper credit given? Shenanigans!
1.) Questioning what the media and government spew out these days is not making citizens (you included) a conspiracy nut. I have the right to free speech, thought, and the right and OBLIGATION to question my government. I do not live in a communist China and if I want to think that there are aliens in the whitehouse I can. If I were to think that I should and should be supported in asking questions or even writing about it. I should question what I'm told.
Agreed. I don't think we've been given much of the truth on this, at least not yet. I bet 95% of this country is more than a little dissatisfied with the info we've received so far. Even Ron Paul called the president out on this one, just 48 hours after the announcement...
2.) Governments lie to protect state secrets...
No argument here either.
3.) Large conspiracies are hard to believe. However if you think a group of soldiers told to "take this body, invade this house, bring the body out and dump it in the sea. Other than that keep your mouth shut", by the president wouldn't do it - your nuts. To think that our government wouldn't say it was Osama when it was really someone else is nuts.
Once you fully understand the corporate control structure over our government, it becomes pretty obvious which lies a government official can get away with and which he cannot.
If he doesn't have STRONG proof of OBL's death on May 1st in Pakistan, then myself and the POTUS both already know what's going to happen to him... And the Economy and possibly even the whole republic... And we both knew all of that before he gave the Seal team their orders.
Just to be clear; The amount of proof we know that he needs to deliver soon is no less than enough to win the supreme court over and possibly several other federal judges. -He doesn't care if more JFK or "faked moon landing" rumors persist... So it doesn't have to be absolutely perfect.
...But make no mistake, the evidence the white house is currently sitting on is without a doubt in my mind, enough to keep him out of any impeachment trials or public disgrace. -In fact I do honestly believe this was all timed to help his poll numbers RISE, not fall. (Which so far is the case.)
So please do not assume I am trying to blindly defend Obama. I didn't even vote for him nor do I assume that he wouldn't stoop to fooling us on something like this.
My point is clearly that
he's going to get away with it, Period.
