Al-Qaeda leader Bin Laden 'dead'. Again.

Osama Bin Laden and The 911 Illusion: The 9/11 Short-Selling Financial Scam
Part II

Around the same time a Navy Seal team was descending upon the Abbottabad complex allegedly housing Osama bin Laden, the US Justice Department was suing Deutsche Bank. Bin Laden was a disciple of Muslim Brotherhood leader Abdullah Azzam. Abbottabad is named after British military officer Sir James Abbott. (1)

In a civil lawsuit filed last Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan, US Attorney Preet Bharara seeks damages and losses on Deutsche Bank-issued mortgages backed by US taxpayers via HUD. The world's third largest bank is majority-owned by the Warburg dynasty that funded Hitler. (2) It also needs to answer for its role in short trades made just prior to 911.

Deutsche Bank Goes Short

Days after 911 Bush SEC Chairman Harvey Pitt, who was later forced to resign over his pathetic response to a series of corporate scandals, appeared on CNN to reveal a pattern of unusually heavy volumes of short selling of both airline and insurance stocks in the week prior to 911. Pitt vowed to track these trades down, speculating that al Qaeda may have been involved. It was the last time anyone in the Bush Administration mentioned it.

According to the Herzliyah International Policy Institute (http://www.ict.org.il/, Sept. 21, 2001) the shorting of these stocks emananated from Deutsche Bank. An article in Barons corroborates this fact. American and United Airlines and the reinsurance giants who covered the WTC Munich RE, Swiss RE and the French Axa were specifically targeted. On September 10th a day before the attacks the put/call ratios on these stocks was unprecedented. A put is a futures option that bets on a stock's decline, while a call is a futures option that bets that the stock will go up.

On September 10, 2001 at the Chicago Board Options Exchange there were 4,516 puts on American Airlines to only 748 calls. United Airlines was targeted for 4,744 puts as opposed to 396 calls. The numbers on the reinsurance companies were similarly lopsided. By far the biggest trader of the put options was Deutsche Bank Alex Brown the US trading arm of Deutsche Bank which bought traditional Eight Families' wealth repository and largest Four Horsemen shareholder Banker's Trust in 1999 to become the world's largest bank with $882 billion in assets. (3)

In 2001 Sen. Carl Levin's (D-MI) Banking Committee fingered Banker's Trust as a major player in drug money laundering. On August 28th, just two weeks before 911, Deutsche Bank executive Kevin Ingram pled guilty to laundering heroin proceeds and arranging US weapons sales to parties in Pakistan and Afghanistan. A June 15, 2001 New York Post article said Osama bin Laden was the likely buyer. Ingram is a close friend of Clinton Treasury Secretary and Goldman Sachs insider Robert Rubin most recently a board member at Citigroup. Ingram earlier worked at both Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers. (4)

Deutsche Bank Put Volume Surges On Greek News

For those wondering which bank domino drops first if Greece files tomorrow, Sunday, in one month, or in one year, here is the market providing the answer: Deutsche Bank put volume surges to 7,353, 11 times normal.

There's an accompanying chart at the url.

One has to wonder if Deutsche Bank is a contemporary Nugan Hand, perhaps with a touch of BCCI and a splash of Citibank thrown in.

Be patient; I now have the latest and best voice recognition software configured and operational, and just finished reading a passage on the DeutscheBank history that will confirm those thoughts.

Klaus denounces aide's doubts on bin Laden's death



ÄŒTK |
5 May 2011
Prague, May 4 (CTK) - Czech President Vaclav Klaus yesterday distanced himself from the statement by Petr Hajek, deputy head of his office, that Osama bin Laden's life and death were a media fiction.
Klaus said Hajek's words were unfortunate and did not voice his view.
Hajek did not consult anyone from the Presidential Office on them, Klaus said in a press release on his web page www.klaus.cz.
"I consider his statement unfortunate. The man who made it evidently did not fully think of its impact, including its fair or unfair interpretations," Klaus said.
Klaus said Hajek had not wanted to evaluate the real event, that occurred in Abbottabad, Pakistan, but tried to "challenge the media halo created around the person of Osama bin Laden and his death."
Klaus said there was the problem that Hajek's statement had prompted some speculations about his own position on the affair.
"I want to put it clear that he did not voice the president's view. This does not mean that as a president I would like to prevent a legitimate discussion with the media that may create various distorted pictures or evident media bubbles, but I consider it necessary to make the president's position clear in this specific affair," Klaus wrote.
Hajek, who is considered one of Klaus's closest aides, said bin Laden's life and death were a mere media fiction.
"It is a modern fairy-tale for adults - good and evil. Let's believe, if we want," Hajek told the server Parlamentni listy.cz on Monday.
Hajek previously said he believed that the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, might have been organised by the U.S. secret services.
Osama bin Laden, who allegedly organised the attacks on the United States in 2001, was killed by U.S. special forces in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on Sunday.
On Tuesday, Klaus said he had received the news of the death of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden "with great relief" and said he believed his end would contribute to enhancing security in the world.http://praguemonitor.com/2011/05/05/klau...dens-death

Webmaster's Commentary:
Ignoring the bullet hole this guy looks very healthy for ten years of dialysis. The nose is also too narrow. But the main reason to disregard this as another likely fake is simple. This image is tainted green to make it look like a night vision image, yet the soldier at right is looking off left, apparently able to see just fine without night vision goggles. And finally, there is something missing from this image that should be there (besides night vision goggles).

There is an illumination source to the upper right of the camera taking this image. You can see the resulting shadows on the jawline and cheek of the soldier. More to the point, there is clearly a shadow from the soldier's face extending left from his face and falling on the floor and the side of "Osama's" face. Yet there is no trace of a similar shadow from the face of "Osama" above the beard near the right eye.
And didn't the White House say "Osama" was shot above the LEFT eye?
UPDATE: An alert reader just sent in the following. If you invert the image (create a negative) there is an obvious edge artifact in the shadow cast by the soldier at the right). This looks like a compositing artifact.


UPDATE 2: Source image found! From the movie "Blackhawk Down".

And flipped...


Came via email so I don't know the original sources for this.

[Magda Hassan]

Whatever the "raid" was, it appears that a Blackhawk helicopter modified with Stealth technology was used, and - highly embarrassingly for the US military - crashed or was shot down.

Echos of the stealth bomber shot down by the Yugoslavs with their primitve anti-aircraft defenses....:plane:

The Bin Laden Raid: Anatomy of a Sloppy Spin Job
6th May 2011

By Brent Lang & Dylan Stableford
TheWrap | May 5, 2011

The Bin Laden operation was a success. But the spin control has been a total muddle.

After intoning that the terrorist leader died in a "firefight" late Sunday, the White House has been forced to backtrack with an amended storyline that is less the stuff of myth and more the ugly truth.

"I don't see any evidence of a deliberate plan to mislead, but they should have maintained tighter controls of the message," Bill Schneider, CNN Senior Political Analyst, told TheWrap. "In this poisonous political atmosphere, both sides are always bound to see plots and conspiracies."

Some pundits and journalists are amazed that the administration even took the trouble to correct the record surrounding Osama Bin Laden's killing.

"I'm not giving them a pass, but from a coldly calculated political view I'm surprised they were willing to revise anything because I don't think the costs were that great either way," Marc Cooper, professor at USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, told TheWrap. "It was a small field team and there wasn't any great risk of being discredited."

TheWrap chronicled the changing story, day by day, as facts have emerged to strip the Hollywood sheen off a story that's become like Bin Laden a moving target.
Sunday, May 1, 11:30 p.m. (ET) | President Obama Addresses the Nation, in Which We Learn of a "Firefight":

The president kept his account of the terrorist leader's death in Abbottabad, relatively short and to the point.

However, his account of the circumstances that ultimately led to Bin Laden's death would later draw scrutiny particularly his use of the phrase firefight.

"No Americans were harmed," Obama said in his address. "They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama Bin Laden and took custody of his body."
Monday, May 2, 2:00 p.m. (ET) | John Brennan, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, Introduces "Human Shield" Myth:

Addressing the press the day after the news broke, it is Brennan who introduces the idea that Bin Laden had used a woman living in the compound as a "human shield" an account that has been subsequently been disproved.

"Thinking about that from a visual perspective, here is Bin Laden, who has been calling for these attacks, living in this million dollar-plus compound, living in an area that is far removed from the front, hiding behind women who were put in front of him as a shield," Brennan said.

The top aide goes on to insist that the Navy SEALs conducting the operation were not tasked with killing Bin Laden and would have captured him if possible. But Brennan maintains the president's line that Bin Laden's death happened as the result of a firefight.

"The concern was that Bin Laden would oppose any type of capture operation," Brennan said. "Indeed, he did. It was a firefight."



Watch the full episode. See more PBS NewsHour.
Tuesday, May 3, 1:57 p.m. (ET) | White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, "Bin Laden Was Unarmed, But Dangerous":

It is Carney who first acknowledges some holes in the administration's initial accounts of Bin Laden's killing. Though the press secretary maintains that the Al Qaeda head resisted capture, he acknowledges that he was unarmed at the time he was shot.

On the first floor of Bin Laden's building, two Al Qaeda couriers were killed, along with a woman who was killed in crossfire.

"I think resistance does not require a firearm," Carney said. "We expected a great deal of resistance and were met with a great deal of resistance. There were many other people who were armed in the compound. There was a firefight. It was a highly volatile firefight … He resisted."
Tuesday, May 3, 7:00 p.m. (ET) | CIA director Leon Panetta Says Bin Laden May Not Have Had a Gun, But Made "Threatening Moves":

As a guest on Jim Lehrer's PBS show, Panetta also acknowledges Bin Laden was unarmed, but implies he was hostile with the SEALs storming the compound.

"…when they got up there, there were some threatening moves that were made that clearly represented a clear threat to our guys. And that's the reason they fired," Panetta told PBS' Lehrer.
Tuesday, May 3, 8:27 p.m (ET) | Unnamed Senior Congressional Aide, Says Bin Laden Surrender Would Have Had to Take Place in the Nude:

"He would have had to have been naked for them to allow him to surrender," the aide explained to the Los Angeles Times.
Wednesday, May 4 | U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Says All It Takes for Self-Defense Is No Surrender:

In more shifting logic, Holder drops Panetta's claims that Bin Laden was acting in a hostile manner and instead argues that the terrorist's killing was justified simply because he did not surrender.

"It was justified as an act of national self-defense. If he had surrendered, attempted to surrender, I think we should obviously have accepted that, but there was no indication that he wanted to do that and therefore his killing was appropriate," Holder said.

Noticeably absent in this latest moment of story juggling are any descriptions of "threatening" or "hostile" moves or attitudes on the part of the dialytic Al Qaeda head.
Wednesday, May 4 | The New York Times, Reports There Wasn't A Whole Lotta Shooting Going On in Abbottabad:

The Times quotes administration officials who acknowledge that Navy SEALs encountered minimal resistance in their raid of the Bin Laden compound. In a further wrinkle, it turns out the only shots came at the beginning of the raid after Bin Laden's courier fired from behind the door of a guesthouse.

[COLOR="#8b0000"]Dr. Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed on the Death of Osama Bin Laden

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkIsifrc0...r_embedded [/COLOR]

"Nafeez Ahmed's understanding of the post 9/11 power game, its lies, illusions and dangers, is no less than brilliant." - John Pilger

During filming for the upcoming documentary feature 'The Crisis of Civilization' Dean Puckett asked best-selling author and international security analyst Dr. Nafeez Ahmed for his thoughts on the recent death of Osama Bin Laden.
View the Trailer: http://crisisofcivilization.com/trailer

SYNOPSIS: The Crisis of Civilization is a documentary feature film investigating how global crises like ecological disaster, financial meltdown, dwindling oil reserves, terrorism, food shortages and the militarization of society are converging symptoms of a single, failed global system.

Weaving together archival film footage and animations, film-maker Dean Puckett (The Elephant In The Room) and international security analyst Dr. Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed -- author of A User's Guide to the Crisis of Civilization: And How to Save It - take you on a surreal journey through an alarming tapestry of global systemic failure.

Offering a stunning wake-up call proving that 'another world' is not merely possible, but on its way, they warn that the inability to recognize the interconnections between different crises is preventing us, as a civilization, from saving ourselves.
