Given what we know about US governments and assorted overt and covert agencies over the past 10 years as they waged this duplicitous "war on terror," we can fairly safely conclude that the Bin Laden death event did not occur as claimed. So what did occur? Chances are that this was a CIA (with US paramilitary support) operation against what is now known to have been an ISI (Pakistani intelligence) safe house, mostly likely containing a number of Pakistani or Afghan informants who were involved in the infiltration of radical Muslim groups. It was, in that respect, no different than other such operations that have very likely occurred many times over the past 10 years. The difference on this occasion being that this operation was chosen to include the fabricated "death" of Osama Bin Laden, a man who was more myth than reality and who, according to the most reliable evidence, died many years ago. The goal, as we have already begun to see, was to:

  • Rally flagging support for the war on terror.
  • Boost public support for President Obama so that when he is chosen for another term in 2012, the American public will believe they have a functioning democratic system.
  • Reinforce waning public belief in the reality of Islamic terrorism and the need for a "war on terror."
  • Garner further public support and official justification for the continued imprisonment and torture of innocent Muslims.
  • Prop up the crumbling facade that portrays the United States of America and its allies around the world as Democracies, when in fact they are dictatorships in almost everything but name.
