The truth about OBL, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Clinton/Obama

According to Seymour Hersh:

OBL was captured by Pakistan in 2007ish.

The Pakistani ISI told Saudi Arabia, who then paid for his room and board while under house arrest in Pakistan.

Both countries - our allies - lied to us about this for years.

A disgruntled Pakistani military upper up walked into a US station in Pakistan and told the CIA this.

We made a deal with Pakistan to come into Pakistan with their 1help and kill OBL. We agreed to take OBL's body out of the country and keep it secret.

Obama then broke that promise and told the world.

The people in Pakistan that we betrayed are high up the ladder in Pakistan's nuclear weapons hierarchy.

That caused a sudden need to generate a story for world consumption. That story is the one of the brave seal team 6 that snuck into Pakistan and killed the gun toting OBL without Pakistani permission. Most of that is a lie.

That lie was then repeated by the cabinet and President for years. Clinton would probably still repeat that lie today if asked. Someone should.

Oh and when Obama and Hillary have given Saudi Arabia billions of weapons - including the one for 29B - came AFTER we learned Saudi Arabia had been helping OBL in Pakistan.

Awesome huh?

Close to Knob Noster MO on the train the constant topic of discussion was killing Bin Laden. A passenger just showed the photoshoped picture of OBL when he said looking in the sky what is that? Flying low was a B-1 Bomber have been told a rather rare sight. Was this plan B returning to base?

As to Hersh's story anything is possible.

Once this thread or one like it reaches the front page, watch the swarm come into to trash him, unless the thread is just trashed altogether.

In other reporting Hersh related accounts coming out of our military that the US was aiding ISIS to keep Russia and Assad from prevailing.

In the Hartmann interview, Hersh also expresses the most obvious point about all this post 9-11 skullduggery -- "How's it going? Just shy of 15 years into it, how we doing?" Not even Bernie Sanders dares to point out that the Emperor has no clothes.

The Main Stream Media, the same folks who relayed the lies about Weapons of Mass Destruction, will not pick up on Hersh's book, other than to quote experts who mock him as a lunatic.

These are the same folks who tell us that Sanders had/has/will not ever have a chance.

The real difference between Sanders and Clinton supporters is simple -- Clinton supporters see nothing particularly wrong with the current political "reality" of war without end and corporate dominated public policy. If all you know about the country comes from watching television or reading the nationally distributed newspapers, you would think that both war and pro-business economic policy are just the normal run of things. That is how Hillary gets away with saying that traditional democratic policies will NEVER happen -- some people just believe that is the way things have to be.

The millennials don't watch television and they laugh at the absurdity of both ideas.

Thus the power structure needs to shut down democracy before the millennials can dominate elections. The real goal of the powers that be is to turn us into a South American kleptocracy of 1970s vintage.
