Title: Bin Laden Compound Assault, How Many U.S. Navy Seals Died?

In a sensational and explosive TV report, the Pakistani News Agency has provided a live interview with an eye witness to the US attack on the alleged compound of Osama bin Laden. The eye witness, Mohammad Bashir, describes the event as it unfolded. Of the three helicopters, "there was only one that landed the men and came back to pick them up, but as he [the helicopter] was picking them up, it blew away and caught fire." The witness says that there were no survivors, just dead bodies and pieces of bodies everywhere. "We saw the helicopter burning, we saw the dead bodies, then everything was removed and now there is nothing."

I always wondered how a helicopter could crash, as the White House reported, without at least producing injuries. Yet, in the original White House story, the SEALs not only survived a 40-minute firefight with al Qaeda, "the most highly trained, most dangerous, most vicious killers on the planet," without a scratch, but also survived a helicopter crash without a scratch.

The Pakistani news report is available on You Tube. The Internet site, Veterans Today, posted a translation along with a video of the interview. And, Information Clearing House made it available on May 17.

If the interview is not a hoax and the translation is correct, we now know the answer to the unasked question: Why was there no White House ceremony with President Obama pinning medals all over the heroic SEALs who tracked down and executed Public Enemy Number One?

The notion that Obama had to keep the SEALs' identity secret in order to protect the SEALs from al Qaeda detracts from the heroic tough-guy image of the SEALs, and it strains credulity that Obama's political handlers would not have milked the occasion for all it is worth.

Other than on the Veterans Today and ICH Internet sites, I have not seen any mention of the Pakistani news story. If the White House press corps is aware of the report, no one has asked President Obama or his press spokesperson about it. Helen Thomas was the last American reporter sufficiently brave to ask such a question, and she was exterminated by the Israel Lobby.

In America we have reached the point where anyone who tells the truth is dismissed as a "conspiracy theorist" and marginalized. Recently, a professor of nano-chemistry from the University of Copenhagen made a lecture tour of major Canadian universities explaining the research, conducted by himself and a team of physicists and engineers, that resulted in finding small particles of unreacted nano-thermite in dust samples from the wreckage of the World Trade Center towers in addition to other evidence that the professor and the research team regard as conclusive scientific proof that the towers were brought down by controlled demolition.

No American university dared to invite him, and as far as I know no mention of the explosive research report has ever appeared in the American press.

I find it astonishing that 1,500 architects and engineers, who actually know something about buildings, their construction, their strength and weaknesses, and who have repeatedly requested a real investigation of the destruction of the three WTC buildings, are regarded as conspiracy kooks by people who know nothing whatsoever about architecture or engineering or buildings. The same goes for the large number of pilots who question the flight maneuvers carried out during the attacks, and the surviving firemen and "first responders" who report both hearing and personally experiencing explosions in the towers, some of which occurred in sub-basements.

A large number of high-ranking political figures abroad don't believe a word of the official 9/11 story. For example, the former president of Italy and dean of the Italian Senate, told Italy's oldest newspaper, Corriere delia Sera, that the intelligence services of Europe "know well that the disastrous [9/11] attack has been planned and realized by the American CIA and the [Israeli] Mossad . . . in order to put under accusation the Arabic Countries and in order to induce the western powers to take part in [the invasions].

Even people who report that there are dissenting views, as I have done, are branded conspiracy theorists and banned from the media. This extends into the Internet in addition to newspapers and TV. Not long ago a reporter for the Internet site, The Huffington Post, discovered that Pat Buchanan and I are critics of the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions. He was fascinated that there were some Reagan administration officials who dissented from the Republican Party's war position and asked to interview me.

After he posted the interview on The Huffington Post, someone told him that I was not sound on 9/11. In a panic the reporter contacted me, demanding to know if I disbelieved the official 9/11 story. I replied that being neither architect, engineer, physicist, chemist, pilot, nor firefighter, I had little to contribute to understanding the event, but that I had reported that various experts had raised questions.

The reporter was terrified that he might somehow have given a 9/11 skeptic credibility and be fired for interviewing me about my war views for The Huffington Post. He quickly added at the beginning and, if memory serves, ending of the posted interview words to the effect that my lack of soundness on 9/11 meant that my views on the wars could be disregarded. If only he had known that I was unsure about the official 9/11 story, there would have been no interview.

One doesn't have to be a scientist, architect, engineer, pilot or firefighter to notice astonishing anomalies in the 9/11 story. Assume that the official story is correct and that a band of terrorists outwitted not only the CIA and FBI, but also all 16 US intelligence agencies and those of our NATO allies and Israel's notorious Mossad, along with the National Security Council, NORAD, air traffic control and airport security four times in one hour on the same morning. Accept that this group of terrorists pulled off a feat worthy of a James Bond movie and delivered a humiliating blow to the world's only superpower.

If something like this really happened, would not the president, the Congress, and the media be demanding to know how such an improbable thing could have happened? Investigation and accountability would be the order of the day. Yet President Bush and Vice President Cheney resisted the pleas and demands for an investigation from the 9/11 families for one year, or was it two, before finally appointing a non-expert committee of politicians to listen to whatever the government chose to tell them. One of the politicians resigned from the commission on the grounds that "the fix is in."

Even the two chairmen and the chief legal counsel of the 9/11 Commission wrote books in which they stated that they believe that members of the military and other parts of the government lied to the commission and that the commission considered referring the matter for investigation and prosecution.

Thomas Kean, chairman of the 9/11 Commission, said: "FAA and NORAD officials advanced an account of 9/11 that was untrue . . . We, to this day don't know why NORAD told us what they told us . . . It was just so far from the truth."

Vice Chairman Lee Hamilton said: "We had a very short time frame . . . we did not have enough money . . . We had a lot of people strongly opposed to what we did. We had a lot of trouble getting access to documents and to people. . . . So there were all kinds of reasons we thought we were set up to fail."

As far as I know, not a single member of the government or the media made an issue of why the military would lie to the commission. This is another anomaly for which we have no explanation.

The greatest puzzle is the conclusion drawn by a national audience from watching on their TV screens the collapse of the WTC towers. Most seem satisfied that the towers fell down as a result of structural damage inflicted by the airliners and from limited, low-temperature fires. Yet what the images show is not buildings falling down, but buildings blowing up. Buildings that are destroyed by fires and structural damage do not disintegrate in 10 seconds or less into fine dust with massive steel beams sliced at each floor level by high temperatures that building fires cannot attain. It has never happened, and it never will.

Conduct an experiment. Free your mind of the programmed explanation of the towers' destruction and try to discern what your eyes are telling you as you watch the videos of the towers that are available online. Is that the way buildings fall down from damage, or is that the way buildings are brought down by explosives? Little doubt, many Americans prefer the official story to the implications that follow from concluding that the official story is untrue.

If reports are correct, the US government has gone into the business of managing the public's perceptions of news and events. Apparently, the Pentagon has implemented Perception Management Psychological Operations. There are also reports that the State Department and other government agencies use Facebook and Twitter to stir up problems for the Syrian, Iranian, Russian, Chinese, and Venezuela governments in efforts to unseat governments not controlled by Washington. In addition, there are reports that both governments and private organizations employ "trolls" to surf the Internet and to attempt to discredit in blogs and comment sections reports and writers who are out of step with their interests. I believe I have encountered trolls myself.

In addition to managing our perceptions, much is simply never reported. On May 19, 2011, the 14-decade-old British newspaper, The Statesman, reported that the Press Trust of India has reported that the Chinese government has warned Washington "in unequivocal terms that any attack on Pakistan would be construed as an attack on China," and advised the US government "to respect Pakistan's sovereignty."

As trends forecaster Gerald Celente and I have warned, the warmongers in Washington are driving the world toward World War III. Once a country is captured by its military/security complex, the demand for profit drives the country deeper into war. Perhaps this news report from India is a hoax, or perhaps the never-diligent mainstream media will catch up with the news tomorrow, but so far this extraordinary warning from China has not been reported in the US media. [I had it posted on OEN.]

The mainstream media and a significant portion of the Internet are content for our perceptions to be managed by psy-ops and by non-reporting. This is why I wrote not long ago that today Americans are living in George Orwell's 1984.

Here's the sad, cold truth: the military is just another incompetent, wasteful government bureaucracy. So-called "conservatives" just don't get it.

ever hear of Murphy's laws of combat? One of them is "never forget your weapon is made by the lowest bidder"

The real question is why the U.S. government can't land two helicopters without one f*cking up?

The US government wasn't flying the helicopters.

"The Bible says our enemy is "science falsely so called".

"I don't know that verse, would you quote it".

1 Timothy 6:20 (King James Version)

"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science (gnosis) falsely so called"

"God's Word is not a science book, but when it speaks about what we call "scientific" information, it is absolutely correct!

The English word "science" comes from the Greek word "gnosis", meaning simply "knowledge". Gnosis is translated "knowledge" 28 times in the King James Version. One time "gnosis" is translated "science", in 1 Tim 6:20, where it is speaking of false oppositions of "so called science". Today, modern "science" still tends to "oppose" God's Word.

Man cannot make a "law of science". Man cannot enforce a "law of science" either, we can only OBSERVE the laws that God designed into our universe! Try as hard as they may, men cannot disprove the Scriptures". /snip

If Eric was in the service he should know better. The Seal community is small and tight. If there were suddenly dead seals because of this mission, it isn't something that would be much of a secret.

I trust the official report. No death benefits have been paid out, and all changes of personnel in regards to separation, transfer to the ready reserve, or death are always reported.

There were no training accident deaths in this time frame, which is the only way they could have tried to mask a death somehow.

Want to put your money where your mouth is then?

I post using my real name and I have DD 214s that I wouldn't mind turning some cash on.

My first enlistment was from 21 Sep 76 to 20 Sep 79 when I was a 67N which is the MOS for UH-1H Helicopter repair and maintainance.

I thoroughly know the UH-1H Iroquis and her T53-L13 engine. My DD for 214s are on file at the County Clerk and if you want to put your money where your mouth is, my Lawyer can access the DD form 214s and send certified copies to your lawyer.

But you won't because you are too chicken to back your game.

Care to wager, Eric? I'd be very pleased to take your money.

I also have the Oregon Licence with the Veteran's information on it they came out with in recent years and I'm well known in the Roseburg V.A. syetem.

Legal actions such as Special Court Martials are public record too. I was Court Martialed (Special C.M.)at Tt. Bragg, N.C. while in Troop B 1/17th Airborne (Air) Cav in the 82nd Airborne Division for allegedly violating articles 89 and 90 of the UCMJ at Ft. Bragg, N.C.

It was thrown out by Judge Colonel Babcock on the grounds the procecution failed to proved a Prima Facie case. There are lots of ways I can prove I was in the service. And I am serious, it would be a pleasure to take your money.

That is easy to access.

I went in as a Private E-1 and my DD form 214 shows me ETSing as a Sgt E-5. I also was a Crew Chief on flight status when I got out.

I'm afraid I not only was quite competent, but smart enough to do better than average. I got in trouble because my C.O. Turner E. Grimesley didn't like my very outspoken political efficacy.

I thought I could express myself politically as long as I did my job. After my Court martial I shut up about politics until I ETSed that first time in 1979.

What the game was was to give me several Article 15s and then to throw me out as unable to adapt to the Army.

They didn't expect me to be as formidable a fighter of that non judicial action as I was. I hired my own lawyer, Jack Carter who had been a prosecutor in the 82nd and a Military Judge in Special Forces at Ft. Bragg.

I served honorably and actually did quite well. All provable if Erica wants to make me and our mouthpieces a little richer.

For that matter, he now has the information to independently check my word with the court record at 18th Airborne Corp, which the 82nd is part of.

The straw that broke Major Grimesley's back was my speaking up when yet to be Senator Jeremiah Denton Spoke to us at the Cav. Hanger at Simmons Army Airfield.

As a young 23 year old PFC, it did not occur to me at that time that Admiral Denton was speaking there as a favor to a high ranking officer he knew there.

I mocked Denton's then proposed 'chastity centers.' I was surprised at the intensity of anger a couple of high ranking people had commenting to me immediately after my mocking of a key soon to be proposal for chastity centers he made while a Senator.

If I had to do it over, I don't know that I would too interestingly enough. I never would of gotten out of the Cav and gone to the then 82nd Aviation Battalion (Now a brigade with the 1/17th Cav as a part of it) and made crew chief had I not invoked the wrath of the powers that be.

The charges stemmed from an accusation I had flipped the U.S. Flag off during a pay day awards ceremony at the 82nd Airborne Division Museum on Ardennes St. in the 82nd Cantonment area.

I fought it because the charges were false and I decided I would rather go to Leavenworth than to be found guilty of doing such a thing without an all out fight.

Their biggest error was where they decided to make their move. It was a matter of deep personal honor I vindicate myself and I did.

Then, guess what, you turn out to be a ground-pounder helicopter mechanic- WITH a court-martial...

No wonder you don't brag about your "service.". And of course, working in a hangar, you spents LOTS of time with SEAL teams, dontcha' know...

I'm afraid I not only was quite competent, but smart enough to do better than average. I got in trouble because my C.O. Turner E. Grimesley didn't like my very outspoken political efficacy.

LMAO.

Translation: you did your job, nut because you're a socialist shit-head (and were only too happy to express your idiocy) they gave you the b!itch-slapping you richly deserved.

And now, 30+ years later, you just as stupid as ever. Oh, you *think* you're smarter than the average bear, but the reality is that you'll have to do a lot of growing up, just to be considered "average."

You're a typical leftist, combining blatant arrogance with dull stupidity. Lenin once described you people as "useless idiots."

That's awfully funny, as I got to smile at an obviously very angry former Troop commander as I left the court room and passed him in the witness room.

He had finished his stint as commander and had been re-assigned to the Pentagon by then.

Oh, they tried to diss me by having an E-7 supervise me in packing my shit to move me to another Troop in the Cav, but as the Squadron commander had been involved in trying to talk me back down to an Article 15 as they by then realized they might well lose, I got to go to a much better battalion and did extremely well.

It would of been playable as a vendetta by the Colonel had I stayed in the Cav and subsequently been burned in a way it stuck.

Your spin means nothing and in fact is very entertaining.

As far as my opinion on my intelligence, I leave that for others to form an opinion on, and whatever someone like you spins does not bother me.

I would note that you calling me arrogant is also very entertaining as if anyone is a legend in his own mind, you are. Your maneuvering to try to build yourself up by trying to tear others down is a stupid pet trick you do so often, I'm surprised you don't notice people are wise to it.

But then again Erica, you have never been the sharpest knife in the cutlery drawer, have you?

Thanks for sharing, buttercup.

Considering how much you brag about being a tree-hugging socialist hippy POS, I didn't guess you were smart enough to be a vet.

Then, guess what, you turn out to be a ground-pounder helicopter mechanic- WITH a court-martial...

Hippie was mis-spelled, dufus. I also was not a 'ground pounder' being in an aviation support role in the Cav being on a phase maintenance team getting slicks through their 100 hour preventative maintenance cycles.

I was given a flight crew slot in my new unit because I was well known as someone who knew what he was doing in maintenance. I am from an aviation family, and I had no trouble adapting to and excelling at that work.

When I went back in and qualified doing commo in a combat arms unit, I was a ground pounder then. But it wasn't like I wasn't in top physical shape or minded getting sweaty or dirty.

You see Erica, I have never been a smoker, or much of a drinker. And I don't like drug use.

I feel quite at home in the forest day or night, and I get around by bicycle as often as I can. I'm still very fit and look young for my age because I take care of myself. I also value my political efficacy, and don't care if you try to knock me on that point. You have your political paradigm, I have mine. ;- D

A quick hint for you: I don't DO spin.

I have a reputation for

1. Being blunt, and
2. Being correct.

I would note that you calling me arrogant is also very entertaining as Your maneuvering to try to build yourself up by trying to tear others down is a stupid pet trick you do so often, I'm surprised you don't notice people are wise to it. if anyone is a legend in his own mind, you are.

I don't think I'm superior to you. I am, in every way that matters. Do I think I'm a genius? Yes, of *course*.. Technically, I am..

It amuses me, that you imagine yourself to be my peer.

It amuses me MORE, that you think you're above average. Getting TO average is something you should aspire to. But I doubt you'll bother, since intellectually-lazy people prefer to rationalize then work to better themselves. Instead, you'll soothe your meager ego by telling yourself you're a "good citizen" of "Mother Earth," by sitting in a tree, protecting an endangered turd-blossom, and accomplishing nothing of substance.

You seem to think that I tear you down, to build myself up. Heh... I make fun of you, because it's FUN. It's fun to take socialist ninnies like you and rub your noses in your own shit. :)

Knowing I'm considered a "genius" BTW isn't my opinion, but objective fact. Do I consider myself a "legend," as you state? No. I remember damn-near everything I read. For whatever reason, I can perform systems analyses in a few minutes or hours, that take others months or years to duplicate. I'm known to solve technical problems that other experts have *never* solved. I'm very, VERY good at what I do.

OTOH, I can't learn foreign languages for shit. Very frustrating for me, but that's how I am.

Overall, your pathetic challenges, and attempts to pull me down to your sub-par level, are laughable.

All you have proved is you are arrogant, and a meglomaniac.

I don't care if I am factually more intelligent than anyone, including you, because I have an inherent respect for people you lack to an extreme degree.

As for peerness, that is your trip too. I never did a pecking order thing with you and won't. But again, thanks for sharing, I -as always -am much amused by you.

You fail to consider the alternative to your hypothesis.

That is the flaw in your logic. Flawed logic is why you're mentally sick. You simply cannot accept reality as it is presented to you, instead choosing willful ignorance, as a shield to the vagaries of the world around you.

In this case, your failure to even consider that what I say is true, is why your conclusion is wrong.

I speak the blunt truth, and I really don't give a shit, whether you can wrap your sub-par brain around the fact or not.

You're a leftist/socialist, and thus mentally deranged. Feel warm in your ignorance. Feel comforted by your flawed logic- it's the only thing you'll have, at the end of your empty life.

It's been fun tormenting you... but it's time to move on to another thread, because at this point, you're just boring.

Bye.

"That is the flaw in your logic. Flawed logic is why you're mentally sick. You simply cannot accept reality as it is presented to you, instead choosing willful ignorance, as a shield to the vagaries of the world around you."

The 'there is only one common truth' is the way fascist thought is packaged.

The fact is, people come naturally in a diversity of opinions on things. So you practicing psychology without a license has no impact of the reality that is the way the human race is.

"In this case, your failure to even consider that what I say is true, is why your conclusion is wrong."

You don't know my thought process or experience with your general point of view. Therefore once again, this is a spin that is self serving at best.

"I speak the blunt truth, and I really don't give a shit, whether you can wrap your sub-par brain around the fact or not."

That has no bearing on anything but the puffery and insult conveyed.

It is all style and no substance.

"You're a leftist/socialist, and thus mentally deranged. Feel warm in your ignorance. Feel comforted by your flawed logic- it's the only thing you'll have, at the end of your empty life."

I'm glad I am not you. If that is emptiness, it works for me.

You can't pull my chains, Erica. And if anyone does not listen it is you.

As for your declare victory and move on ending, all I can say is whatever. I was taught not to get self absorbed and self centered like that. I was taught to promote teamwork with any group I work in. It is more important to me to be able to figure out the weakest part of my team and do what it takes to make them succeed. If anything I feel sorry for you. but hey, at least you have yourself to love you, so it's all good; right?

In any event, thanks for sharing. I am as always entertained by your one person Erica fan club act.

Ericka's such a coward, he's probably already put him on Bozo.

I'm hitting the track tomorrow, unless the weather is crappy.

Nah, the hen clicked around a wee bit. But it has a standing offer to give me some of it's money if it wants to put it where it's pecker of a yabbering beak is.

But the bottom line in this is that all I care about is making sure that when he gets the documentation I get the money with no stalling. I mean, is there any other way to be when one makes a serious bet?

Ironic that someone whose so infatuated with buttholes is actually accusing others of talking out their ass.

You're probably just autistic. Aspergers or something like that.

Or perhaps just delusional and lying out your ass.

lol
