What the hell ever happened with that Bin Laden tape
from just before the election last year. Was it ever confirmed to be real? What about the video that looked like Karl Rove in a dishtowel?

Was there ever a report about the truth or falsehood of that stuff?

3. Why?
Kind of like "pay no mind to the guy behind the curtain."

8. That's the point, innit.
I was wondering if news quietly came out that they'd been fakes, so that we could kind of point up that information now.

That's why I ask.

2. Oh sure - Larry King did hundreds of shows discussing it thoroughly -
lots of experts.

Oops....no he didn't.

4. Let me tell you
when that came out, I knew the jig was up. Three days before the election, there was no time for Kerry to react. When the WH released that, I knew we were going to lose.

5. Kerry would agree
that was when they saw their numbers, which had been going up, start going down in the personal polls they were taking.

11. My heart sunk into my stomach then too. It's odd to look back now,
but I think I was waiting for the Bush Administration to pull something like this back then. Or maybe it actually was BL. I think I was on alert for an appearance for weeks before the election.

7. didn't you hear?
O.B.L. had an extreme makeover. Botox, nose job, collagen to the cheekbones to clear up those crows feet, a little time in non-Cuban tropics.

I've seen the before and after pictures on other sites, they really did a good job on him!

It's him. I'm series!!!111!!!

10. Here's a link
I can't vouch for the site, but it's interesting.

Bring Us The Head Of Osama bin Laden

By Kurt Nimmo

Have you heard the news?

We won't have to worry about that slippery eel Osama anymore.

12. I don't believe any of those tapes are authentic.
I truly believe that there are plenty of people in government who can fake any kind of tape some politico wants.

And I don't believe Zarqawi is who they say he is, nor do I reject the very real possibility that this person they call "Zarqawi", about whom they try to build this big myth, has been dead for years.

There are only a handful of people around (among us) who can speak and write the languages these "bad guys" speak. How the hell do we even know whether the translations we get of ANY bin Laden tapes, or of any of the other "intercepted tapes/communications/blah blah blah", are correct translations?

I really believe that much of this terrorism stuff is phony.

When an incident really occurs, how do we really know WHO it was who did it? We don't. It could be anyone... it could be a gang of murderers with little or no political affiliation. But the propagandists who control our thoughts will play up any violence/loss of life as "terrorism."

I prefer the John Kerry outlook: it's CRIME. We already know how to deal with crime--and you don't have to start wars to fight crime.

13. Indeed. International crime. I read that book too. But wouldn't this be
the perfect time for news that all that crap was faked to come out. I'd like the people at large to know what we know, that most of the terror alerts are based on bullshit reasons for the sake of distraction. I want people to know how manipulated they are.

Finding out the tapes to be a fake too would go along way toward that awakening. But I guess we'd need a whistleblower for that, eh?
