    I never read the book by David Ray Griffin on this subject, but I’m aware of how absurd the Bin Laden tapes were. One day he’s wearing camo and has an AK next to him - then the next day he’s wearing ceremonial gold/yellow robes and he’s so far away from the camera that you can’t tell whether he’s CGI or not. There’s a whole load of crap about “no planes theory” and how it was all CGI, but there’s almost no discussion regarding the Bin Laden tapes being CGI.

    People also forgot about those weird anthrax letters. I watched a stupid Netflix documentary about the anthrax letters and in the end they admitted that nobody actually saw the supposed mastermind put the anthrax into the mail box. He could have been blackmailed or god-knows what, we will never know. Back to my homie OBL:

    “The US political discourse and foreign policy in recent years has been based on the assumption that Osama bin Laden is still alive. George W. Bush promised as president that he would get Osama bin Laden dead or alive and has been widely criticized for failing to do so. The US s present military escalation in Afghanistan is said to be necessary to get Osama bin Laden. The news media regularly announce the appearance of new messages from bin Laden. But what if Osama bin Laden died in December 2001 which is the last time a message to or from him was intercepted? In this book, David Ray Griffin examines the evidence for the claim made by everyone from former CIA agent Robert Baer to Oliver North that bin Laden is surely no longer with us. He analyzes the purported messages from bin Laden and finds that, as many have suspected, they do not provide evidence of bin Laden s existence after 2001. This leads naturally to the question: if Osama bin Laden did indeed die in 2001, how and why have dozens of messages from bin Laden appeared since then? Griffin s meticulous analysis supports above all one simple and urgent conclusion: if Osama bin Laden is dead, the US should not be using its troops and treasure to hunt him down.”
