It’s hard to imagine the mastermind of 9/11 cozying up to an issue of Popular Science magazine, but apparently the American monthly magazine was one of many publications on Osama bin Laden’s reading list. On Wednesday, the federal government revealed a list of books and magazines found in bid Laden’s home in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Here are eight of the most surprising:
1. Necessary Illusions: Thought Control in Democratic Societies by Noam Chomsky
America’s consummate liberal thinker takes on propaganda in democracies.
2. Oxford History of Modern War by Charles Townsend
Everything you wanted to know about war since the 14th century.
3. The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers by Paul Kennedy
A comprehensive study of the ups and downs of global power since 1500.
4. Obama’s Wars by Bob Woodward
An inside look at President Obama’s wartime decision making.
5. A Brief Guide to Understanding Islam by I. A. Ibrahim
Published in 1999, the book is meant for non-Muslims.
6. New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11 by David Ray Griffin
A favorite of conspiracy theorists, New Pearl Harbor argues that the Bush administration allowed the 9/11 attacks to further its interests. It’s interesting to imagine what bin Laden, the 9/11 mastermind, thought about conspiracy theorists who argue the U.S. government, and not al-Qaeda was to blame for the attacks.
7. Popular Science magazine
Bid Laden owned an issue on innovations.
8. Delta Force: Xtreme 2 video game guide
The government release notes that this book probably wasn’t used by bin Laden himself. Still, someone in the compound was apparently a gamer.
Also found alongside the books was a document that appears to be an application to join al-Qaeda, asking questions including whether the applicant would be willing to do a suicide mission and whom al-Qaeda should contact if the applicant became a martyr.
In case you're interested, here's the al-Qaeda application form:
And you're suggesting that Popular Science is somehow the same as Popular Mechanics? You're pathetic in your desperate denial.
Bin Laden clearly denied any part in the 9/11 New Pearl Harbor. And of course no evidence has been produced to show that he was in any way connected. None.
I certainly didn't like Bin Laden--or any Muslim fundamentalist, or Christer fundamentalist, or Zionist. Can you get that on one bounce?
The shameless cover up of the neocons' horrific power grab is disgusting in itself, but also in the callow and cowardly acceptance of the pathetic official story. And that 's you.
What's this "we" bullshit, willers? You're just some dull old garden tool with nothing to say. If you're so sure about 9/11, why come around such discussions? Go offer bright insights to..'70's hairband hits and troll talk with "python".. :wink:
Who the fuck are you? Some bawling, smarting little punk? Just walk away, Renee, you're old and tired and no one cares (about your fake posts).. :wink:

According to the deciders, you suck jew cock.
He also likes a good sand niqqer cock on occasion too.
Can anyone around here actually say on the subject? In this case, the fact that Bin Laden was never charged with anything connected to 9/11. And that he was murdered without any pretense of due process. And that he was familiar with the various theories on who actually committed the New Pearl Harbor.

Yes, we can say on whichever subject you like, though perhaps to stay on subject might be better.
In this case, the fact that Bin Laden was a known leader and associate with Al-Qaeda. That he was murdered was justified due to his terrorist ties and activities. And that he was familiar with the various entities that actually committed the murder of thousands of innocent Americans merited his demise.
Sure, a basic question remains, and that is why was no evidence of Bin Laden's connection to 9/11 ever presented? Why was he never indicted or formally charged for 9/11? How could all of the world's major law enforcement agencies, including Interpol, Scotland Yard, Mossad, FBI, CIA, all come up with nothing? Especially when they would have loved nothing more than some actual evidence? The water-board torture confession of the "20th" hijacker of course would not be admissible in any court outside of North Korea, so...?
And why would he deny any involvement when taking credit would be the biggest victory in the history of any terrorist group or movement. But no, he clearly denied any part. Okay, why?
No, you've never acknowledged anything of the sort. You're some sort of defective door-stop. I realize it's like talking to a parking meter, but c'mon, willers, tell us why there's never been any evidence of Bin Laden's connection to the New Pearl Harbor.
No, don't tell me--I already know. Tell us. Demonstrate that you're not as obtuse and immature as you appear in your sputtering childish isults. C'mon, dare to offer an actual thought.

Who cares? He was a fucking terrorist who deserved to die. Whether for 9/11 or something else.

What do you mean, "who cares"? Suppose he indeed had nothing to do with 9/11--despite his other previous actions? Suppose he really was a patsy--and that's why there was no evidence (and why he denied it)? Suppose it wasn't him at all? You're saying "who cares"? How is it possible for some to be so pathetically simple and manipulated as yourself--as you indicate in your tiny attention-span response?

So, what if he had porn? How does that relate to the fact that he was never charged?
(pssssst..hey...yeah you, the stupid one curled in the fetal position...did you know that Lee Harvey Oswald was interrogated--following his arrest--for several hours, and that the interview was recorded on film? Gee..ever see a frame of that? No?...well, guess what, he denied shooting JFK, and did so in such an obviously honest fashion that the U.S. government would show you that as soon as it would release the confiscated and sealed tapes of whatever actually hit the pentagon on 9/11, punching a small hole through the reinforced walls and penetrating three rings deep.)

I mean, who cares? He was a fucking terrorist and deserved to die. He ran an organization that was dedicated to terrorism.
I'm happy OJ's in prison, too.

Indeed, goobs is really redefining "white flag" surrendering. The question remains as to how can someone be so utterly curled in dumb nervous fear that they would so completely abdicate any semblance of a functioning intellect.

The better question would be, why haven't you asked this of yourself?
After all, your intellect abandoned you years ago.
One abandons one's intellect, not the other way around. In your case, I'm not sure you really had it to lose. But you are beloved by FOX News and the chortling oligarchs. They really like simple stooges who'll guzzle their kool-aid like Mountain Dew. And that's you.
Intellect can abandon anybody under the right conditions. I would give you multiple examples but you're too stupid to comprehend them, so comprehend this instead.
I don't watch Faux News. Don't watch CNN either.
Back to the tin foil tent now Nick. The craft are hovering.
You're reasoning like a ten year-old again. Intellect doesn't exist on its own. It's not some religious concept. And of course all manner of people willfully muzzle and stifle their intellect so as to avoid the unpleasant facts thus presented, Such as--the U.S. government being effectively hijacked on 9/11. As for your lock-step right-wing radio views, even if you don't listen to FOX News, you dutifully echo every single position they present. You are a classic tool of the oligarchy, a simplistic and shallow puppet.
Here's an example of news that's not made available in mainstream sources. There's lots more on lots of subjects. Obviously a closed-minded fiercely anti-intellectual sort of knuckle-dragging 'libertarian" simplistic tripe like yourself wouldn't and couldn't begin to actually look--let alone find--anything to stir you from your boring slumber. And what I mean by that is that of course you had no idea of the importance of the event described in the provided link. You're in some tedious coal mine of non-curious and fearful living death--just like your fake (non-changes) guitar playing. Now get back to your FOX and shut up. But if you think you can handle some actual news... http://wolfstreet.com/

So you and Tiny think this Bin Laden guy was completely innocent? Not a terrorist, just a misunderstood religious zealot?

What we know about Bin Laden is that he was never indicted for anything connected to 9/11. No evidence was ever presented. Further, he explicitly denied any involvement--when taking credit would be a tremendous boon to his recruitment ability, etc. In short, he was framed and murdered without any due process. AS far as his religious beliefs and prior activities--both as a terrorist and a CIA operative, this is irrelevant to his being framed. As for your simplistic and almost moronic approach and analysis, you're an embarrassment. You just take Cheney and Rumsfeld's word on his guilt? And of course the clear-eyed assurance of George Stephanopoulos? Or the weird ramblings of O'Reilly and Hannity? Pathetic.

I believe Osama headed up one of the major terror groups of our time. I don't care whether he had anything to do with 9-11. He deserved to die. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

You're like some retarded cat chasing it's tail. Do you really live in such a simplistic bubble? As far as Bin Laden being one of the biggest terrorists in the world, well, if in fact he had nothing to do with 9/11--and there's of course no evidence that he did--than surely there's a much bigger terrorist outfit operating--and they've escaped because Bin Laden was a convenient patsy. And of course that infinitely larger terrorist organization is the neocons and their Zionazi entity. But, what's the point of explaining this to a cat?

We get it. You're a conspiracy-freak nutbag of the highest order. I don't believe you've ever seen a conspiracy that you couldn't fully embrace. I can't imagine the cocktail of medications it must take for you to make it through a day.
BTW, there is this:
"God knows it did not cross our minds to attack the Towers, but after the situation became unbearable—and we witnessed the injustice and tyranny of the American-Israeli alliance against our people in Palestine and Lebanon—I thought about it. And the events that affected me directly were that of 1982 and the events that followed—when America allowed the Israelis to invade Lebanon, helped by the U.S. Sixth Fleet. As I watched the destroyed towers in Lebanon, it occurred to me punish the unjust the same way: to destroy towers in America so it could taste some of what we are tasting and to stop killing our children and women."
— Osama bin Laden, 2004
After his initial denial, Osama bin Laden in 2004 finally claimed responsibility for the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States. The attacks involved the hijacking of four commercial passenger aircraft — United Airlines Flight 93, United Airlines Flight 175, American Airlines Flight 11, and American Airlines Flight 77 — and flying two into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, New York, and the third into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, destroying the former, and severely damaging the latter, while the fourth, either intended to target the U.S. Capitol or the White House, crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, with no survivors.

Moreover, not a single law enforcement agency has been able to produce any evidence as to his guilt. So how does this have anything to do with calling anyone a "conspiracy nut"? In fact the official story--as palsied and weak as it is--is one of an elaborate conspiracy, right? And yet you believe it without any evidence whatsoever? Really?
Sorry, I've seen enough of your bullshit links to be beyond clicking on any of them. Your idea of "debunking" is to present some yahoo with a contrary opinion. Run along, little nutbag.

In an effort to get this thread back on track, I wonder what kind of porn Osama had? Goats? Midgets ('sup MS)? Did he have a George W. Bush blowup doll?
