A Letter To America, by Osama Bin Laden

[MarcosZeitola]

In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

To the American people,

Peace be upon those who follow the righteous track.

Hereafter,
The subject of my talk to you is the overwhelming control of
capital (Var.: money) and its effect on the ongoing war between
us.
I direct my talk specifically to those who support real change,
especially the youth.
I say from the onset:

Your former president warned you previously about the
devastating Jewish control of capital and about a day that would
come when it would enslave you; it has happened. Your current
president warns you now about the enormity of capital control
and it has a cycle whereby it devours humanity when it is devoid
of the precepts of God's law (Shari’a). The tyranny of the
control of capital by large companies has harmed your economy,
as it did ours, and that was my motivation for this talk. Tens
of millions of you are below the poverty line, millions have
lost their homes, and millions have lost their jobs to mark the
highest average unemployment in 60 years. Your financial system
in its totality was about to collapse within 48 hours had not
the administration reverted to using taxpayer's money to rescue
the vultures by using the assets of the victims. As for us, our
Iraq was invaded in response to pressure from capitalists with
greed for black gold, and you continue to support the oppressive
Israelis in their occupation of our Palestine in response to
pressures on your administration by a Jewish lobby backed by
enormous financial capabilities.

An observer of the policies of the new administration realizes
that the change is tactical and not strategic; it does not at
all agree with the change you seek. There are very many
indicators of this, especially concerning important matters
related to your security and economy, particularly the ongoing
war between us. The previous administration was successful in
implicating you in these wars against us under the premise that
they are necessary for your security or according to the promise
that it would be short and would finish in six days or six
weeks. Six years has passed, and that administration is gone
without realizing the victory. The man calling for change
promised you victory in Afghanistan and set a time for
withdrawal. Before the end of the set time, Petraeus, from the
previous administration, came and asked for an extension of six
more months.

If it was the six-day war that started by President Bush, and six years
have not been enough to finish it, then the wise men should
question how long would a six-month war take and whether you are
able to fund a war that requires a large amount of money that
weakens your economy and your dollar.
For Obama to leave one-third of the soldiers in Iraq, and the
statements from his administration about this, especially from
Aderno, about the possibility of Obama's ordering the return of
the forces he took out of Iraq, it would have been better for
him had he disagreed with the ethics of the previous
administration and adopted the truth as a friend and told you
that he will not withdraw from Iraq, which may not serve the US
interests but it is in the interest of the large corporations.
The course of the policies of the present administration in
several areas clearly reveals that whoever enters the White
House, even with good intentions to safeguard the peoples'
interest, is no more than a train operator.

His only task is to keep the train on the tracks that are laid down by the lobbyists
in New York and Washington to serve their interests first, even
if it is counter to your security and economy. Any president who
tries to move the train from the lobbyist's tracks to a track
for the American people's interests will confront very strong
opposition and pressures from the lobbyists. Your president
described the decision by the court in favor of corporations to
intervene in the political arena as a victory, but it is not [a
victory] for the American people except for the big
corporations. There is no doubt about it that it is a right, and
it is also a right for the administration to support the
oppressive Israelis for the continued occupation of our land and
the killing of our brothers, marking a victory for the Jewish
lobby. The president was not able to defend you against the
security and economic loss. The way for change and freeing
yourselves from the pressure of lobbyists is not through the
Republican or the Democratic parties, but through undertaking a
great revolution for freedom: not to free Iraq from Saddam
Hussein but to free the White House and to free Barack Husayn so
he can implement the change you seek. It does not only include
improvement of your economic situation and ensure your security,
but more importantly, helps him in making a rational decision to
save humanity from the harmful [greenhouse] gases that threaten
its destiny.

For the American youth to succeed in this change, they need to
relive the history of their ancestors and the conditions in
their country more than two centuries ago. They need to
understand the similarities during that era and their present
situation, especially in their fundamental conditions. The
British Parliament sided with corporations, then against the
interests of the citizens. You have noticed the Congress’s stand with
corporations against the peoples’ interests when they refused to
legislate against interference in the elections by corporations.
The British military governor in the United States used to have
the right to appoint judges and mayors.

Similarly, the corruption is deep rooted now in all higher authorities,
thus giving authorities over these offices to corporations.
Subsequently, the higher court adjudicated their support of
political financing by corporations under such circumstances.
Reading the book by the intellectual Thomas Paine helped your
fathers in the revolution against the oppressors. It is useful
for you to read it under the current, similar circumstances. You
are in need of people like Thomas Paine to publish books
pointing out the similarities between the two phases and that
will have a similar effect. You also are in need of men with
courage and initiative like those of your forefathers at that
time when they refused to allow one company to harm the
interests of the United States, a company that had a monopoly on
tea and its prices. Yet there now are many companies that
endanger the United States’ economy, which continues to be
vulnerable to collapse and they also formulate the policies of
the White House. They threw hundreds of thousands of soldiers
against us and have formed an alliance with the Israelis to
oppress us and occupy our land; that was the reason for our
response on the eleventh.

Palestine has been under occupation for decades, and none of
your presidents talked about it until after September 11 when
Bush realized that your oppression and the tyranny against us
were part of the reason for the attack. Then he talked about the
necessity for two states. Obama is trying to address the issue
with the same solutions suggested by his predecessor; they are
quilting fruitless solutions not of concern to us. If you want a
real settlement that guarantees your security in your country
and safeguards your economy from being depleted in a manner
similar to our war of attrition against the Soviet Union, then
you have to implement a roadmap that returns the Palestine land
to us, all of it, from the sea to the river, it is an Islamic
land not subject to being traded or granted to any party.

In conclusion: Be assured that we do not fight for mere killing
but to stop the killing of our people. It is a sin to kill a
person without proper, justifiable cause, but terminating his
killer is a right. You should be aware that justice is the
strongest army and security offers the best livelihood; you lost
it by your own making when you supported the Israelis in
occupying our land and killing our brothers in Palestine. The
road to safety starts with the stopping of aggression.

Palestine shall not be seen captive for we will try to break its
shackles.
The United States shall pay for its arrogance with the blood of
Christians and their funds.
Peace be upon those who follow the righteous track.

How is he going to write a letter when he's been dead for a long time already?

How is he going to write a letter when he's been dead for a long time already?

It was written in late 2002, a year after the 9/11 attacks. The Guardian published it in its entirety at the time. A lot of it rings true even today. I felt it was worth sharing again, so I did.

Oh that triggers my procrastionation...

It is a nice read . Funny thing he mentioned the climate catastrophy. For some reason he reminded me of Sadhguru.

No it's just tiktokers discussing colonialism and then the bin laden letter was mentioned as he discussed colonialism in the letter too supposedly, so gen Z who wasn't around back then got curious.

What's interesting or shocking, is that The Guardian deleted the letter from their website today, it had been online for over 20 years, but genZ tiktokers got the guardian to censor themselves

Which now has genZ'rs even more in an uproar and interested in reading the letter bcuz they find it so very fishy that the guardian deleted it (Streisand effect)

Edit: ya have to understand the current world events and characters are very new issues for gen Z, and they're interested and engaged, so they want to learn everything they can about it

At this point I've grown so damn tired, bored, and irritated with the whole Western world. If I was financially well off I would sell everything I own and abandon this part of the world. Where would I go, I don't know. But being part of a country that will forever be owned by the same mfers who can just do whatever they want while the rest of us have to shut our mouth is infuriating.

Osama Bin Laden was one of the few men with a clear idea of what to do about the West and Western culture, and how to end it. He didn't succeed, of course, but his influence echoes into eternity and will continue to be felt. Most other 'critical thinkers' and activists seem rather useless and impotent in comparison, their vision for a different world weak, and tepid.

Did Bin Laden ever admit to 9/11? Wasn't he just a CIA tool named Tim Osmond? If so then wouldn't his letters have been written by the CIA.

How come the mainstream media and alt media never mentioned it then? Also if he was a CIA agent then isn't everything he says given by the CIA as a psyop?

lol man f**k Muslims, their belief system is shit they are in no place to judge anybody at all period. We're talking about a bunch of assholes who get upset when someone says anything they dislike about their religion and then go around cutting off heads. What I also find hilarious is how a lot of these people are flooding into Western countries while still talking shit. Makes them look like hypocritical bitches doing that.

With @Cornfed gone, you've got some colorful posts to read...

I think you should make your own channel or show or something...

Right now you're the MVP poster....

I just have way more anger built up in me is all, I can't help it. The more I see going on in the global world the harder it is for me to just accept any of it really. I was on anti-depressants for a few months, then got off of it because it wasn't doing anything. Then the doctor gave me something that was suppose to supress my rage and anger but that failed too. Now I just feel ultra agitated at a lot of things because part of me wants to do something but can't for several reasons.

1. I'm not a billionare so I can't change the world back to the way it was before Billionares were able to f**k it up as much as they have.

2. Tired of feeling helpless and hopless everyday.

3. I feel like the whole world is transforming into the same country..Almost everywhere is reflecting the United States or at least trying to because the same elites who own America also own every other country except for the Islamic ones that obviously hate them.

Whatever the case is, I know i came at you strong and hard before in the past but that's only because you got to me with that Democrat worship stuff. It's almost like listening to Conservatives that Jew worship and ever since this war started they've been acting more and more like the dumb shit leftist/liberals. Now they are both equally hated.
On top of it all I can't stand the Republican and war mongering self absorbed Neocons either. f**k the both of them.

[willymonfrete]

I know people think jews are all powerful,but things have not been looking good for them lately.
