And how do people interpret that? If OBL read Chomsky, the average right wing radio screech monkey would conclude Chomsky is a terrorist.

I think our resident screech monkeys have already concluded that.

The MSM is portraying Osama's reading selection as the work of a paranoid mind clouded with delusions of conspiracies. (... pay no attention to the man behind the curtain)

That probably explains everything 8) ...

NSA Planned to Hijack Google App Store to Hack Smartphones

The report, based on a document leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, said the plan aimed to step up surveillance efforts on smartphones.

The plan appeared to have been discussed at meetings involving the intelligence services in 2011 and 2012, according to the classified document.

The project called "Irritant Horn" would allow the agencies to hijack data connections to app stores and surreptitiously implant malicious software on smartphones that would allow for data to be harvested.

The intelligence agencies could also use the spyware to send misinformation to targets to confuse potential adversaries, according to the report.

The Intercept said the plan was motivated in part by concerns about the possibility of "another Arab Spring," or the spread of popular movements.

The agencies were particularly interested in the Africa region, especially Senegal, Sudan and the Congo but also targeted app store servers in France, Cuba, Morocco, Switzerland, Bahamas, the Netherlands and Russia.

At the time, the Google app store was called Android Market. It is now known as Google Play.
... But the agencies wanted to do more than just use app stores as a launching pad to infect phones with spyware. They were also keen to find ways to hijack them as a way of sending “selective misinformation to the targets’ handsets” as part of so-called “effects” operations that are used to spread propaganda or confuse adversaries. Moreover, the agencies wanted to gain access to companies’ app store servers so they could secretly use them for “harvesting” information about phone users.

I've always been skeptical of the whole Osama Bin Laden/Seal Team 666 Raid story.

As it was told, the most wanted man in the world was hiding out in a two story house in Pakistan for the previous six years drinking whiskey and watching porn (and remember the stories about this man having Renal problems sometimes requiring dialysis?).

Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan claimed several times before her assassination by bomb in 2007 that Bin Laden was already dead (and not just the one you can find on YouTube today).

After all this time, somebody in Pakistan supposedly snitched on him to the CIA and the Seals were immediately dispatched to take him out.
They crashed a helicopter in the process ( I'm sure it made a lot noise!)
Of course not knowing how many of his entourage where around they did not have time to capture him and bring him to justice, but instead just killed him.

Given this scenario of haste and the imperative of getting in and immediately leaving, we are now told while they did not have time to take him alive in the dark, they DID have time to recover his books?

No pictures were ever shown of the body ( we were told we may have upset the terrorists?). The body was conveniently buried at sea (did they pipe him over the side as if he had honorably served in the U.S. Navy?).

If you accept this story and this supposed list of books, I have this Bridge in Bridge in Brooklyn you might be interested in buying.

The only thing good that everybody now agrees, is that Ozzy Bin is Dead.

Behind the Media’s Assault on Seymour Hersh

... The White House’s story might have been written by Lewis Carroll: would bin Laden, target of a massive international manhunt, really decide that a resort town [with a large military facility] forty miles from Islamabad would be the safest place to live and command al-Qaida’s operations?”

The gaping holes of logic in the official story were there from the beginning. Hersh actually asked questions and explored them while the rest of the media were content with regurgitating White House press releases.

And when the White House’s narrative became an Oscar winning movie — made with help from the CIA — the myth was cemented in popular culture. Until Hersh shattered it.

http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n10/seymour-m- ... -bin-laden

Interestingly, a longtime Middle East correspondent, Carlotta Gall, said publicly that “my own reporting [on the death of Bin Laden] tracks with Hersh’s.” Reporters from NBC made similar statements. But individuals who spoke up were immediately shouted down by the choir.

The media has a self-interest in maintaining the Bin Laden fiction because they’ve been an important cog in the lie machine. Additionally, the media has a huge stake in maintaining cozy relations with the Obama administration, since the White House rewards the “good media” by leaking selective stories to “good reporters” via anonymous “senior government officials.”

Obama’s motive for lying about the death of Bin Laden is the real story here, hidden under the piles of slander against Hersh. Why would Obama lie about Bin Laden’s assassination?

The motive is obvious: the Bin Laden death narrative protects the tortures of the Bush administration while giving spectacular PR to the lynch pin of U.S. foreign policy — the so-called “war on terror.”

For example, the film Zero Dark Thirty is based on the White House’s narrative. The outcome of the film is essentially an Oscar winning state-sponsored propaganda film: the fictional drama showing how the CIA successfully hunted down Bin Laden with a combination of cunning, technology and torture.

Hersh’s article exploded this lie, humiliating everyone who took part in it.

Script writing is an art form very few have the skills just watch virtually any Hollywood movie now.
They worked out people just want special effects and a happy ending,because the real profits are in the popcorn and the merchandise not the storyline.

For all we (really) know, he could have died years ago and the Abbottabad story was a complete lie. Or, he could have been captured alive in Abbottabad and is in some gulag dungeon. Is there any information independent of the US gubmint?

Since the NSA/DNI released Bin Ladin (purported) reading list (or their propaganda) it would only be fair to release some of the Defense Intelligence Agency reading material ...

The Defense Intelligence Agency recently released a listing of theses and dissertations produced by the students of the Joint Military Intelligence College during the years 2004-2008.

Below is a selection of some of those titles.

You can request a copy of any of the documents below by sending a request to the DIA at this address:

Washington, DC 20301-7400

Actually, I'm pretty happy to see the topics being researched at the JMIC. It is a pretty broad representation of the various issues ahead of us. Just remember the topic of the thesis is not necessarily the conclusion. You would need to read at least the executive summary to know that.
