Faker’s Dozen ™ Stories about Osama bin Laden

As we learn more and more about the truly amazing ways that American governments have lied, lied, and lied some more, it brings back some memories.

So here is a bit of fun – calling up (with suitable updating) a spoof/sarcastic remarks from 2011.

  1. There was NO Osama bin Laden: he was invented by (choose one or more):
    ¨House of Windsor (British Royal Family)
    ¨ Knights Templar or Society of Sion
    ¨ US Government
    ¨ Muslim Brotherhood
    ¨ Adolf Hitler III, hiding in Paraguay
    ¨ Soviet KGB scientists in underground Siberian cities
  2. There was an authentic Osama bin Laden but he was killed in Afghanistan in 2001 by (choose one):
    ¨ captured christian slave girl/concubine 
    ¨ secret SAS raiders
    ¨ Saudi Salafi commandos
    ¨ The Donald
  3. Osama bin Laden had extensive plastic surgery and replaced the man who was actually elected US President in 2008, while that person was in turn surgically modified to take bin Laden’s place, and then killed because he got tired of goat meat and wanted to come out of the cold.
  4. Osama bin Laden was a (chose one or more): ¨ CIA operative ¨ Mossad operative ¨ KGB operative ¨ FSB (Russian security) operative ¨ MI-6 operative ¨ INTERPOL operative ¨ Gestapo or Neue Gestapo operative ¨ Chinese operative, who turned rogue and finally had to be taken out. ¨ all of the above.
  5. Osama bin Laden was not killed in 2011; he was captured and is in rendition on an unmarked merchant ship while his brain is being vacuumed; the video and photos of the raid were staged and photoshopped so that everyone thinks he is dead.
  6. The Osama bin Laden killed in 2011 was an out-of-luck actor hired to pretend to be Osama and was (chose one)
    ¨ killed instead of getting paid off,
    ¨ replaced by a clone and now living in luxury in Monaco with a good shave,
    ¨a masochist who thought his lovers would eat his body after he was killed, or
    ¨ the accidental victim of an overly-complex script and friendly fire.
  7. Osama bin Laden was the (chose one of the following):
    ¨ reincarnation of the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh)
    ¨ Twelfth Imam and Mahdi, ¨ Messiah returned,
    ¨ Messiah first coming,
    ¨ a reincarnation of Balaam’s donkey, and was taken up to the Fifth Heaven by Allah. 
  8. So his death had to be staged by (chose one or more):
    ¨ Pakistani intelligence (ISI),
    ¨ Israeli intelligence (Mossad),
    ¨ CIA,
    ¨ The Sinaloa Cartel,
    ¨ Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream (Clandestine Division).
  9. Osama bin Laden was the illegitimate great-grandson of Rasputin the Mad Monk, and the center of a KGB plot to overthrow the United States that didn’t get the word to stop when the Soviet Union fell, and finally got tired of the game.
  10. Osama bin Laden was Howard Hughes, who faked his own death after he went through a secret rejuvenation process and became an enemy of the United States because they wouldn’t give back his Spruce Goose.
  11. Osama bin Laden is a cousin of the White House resident (2009-2017) and is now living in a shack in a sub-basement of the Chicago City Hall and is a janitor for the nearby Presidential Library; everything was faked.
  12. Osama bin Laden was killed but it was a fake, prepared body that was buried at sea and the real body was sent to Atlanta to be examined but stolen by secret Islamic deep-cover agents and taken to Paraguay to be reanimated in Hitler’s secret laboratories by Joseph Mengele.
  13. Osama bin Laden was killed in 2011 but rose out of the water three days later and is now executing forty years of terror to destroy the West.

Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to laugh at the garbage that governments try to pull. As long as we remember to question everything that they do and say.

SCOTUS and lesser Nazgul – powers and corruption

American government and society have been irretreivably warped – twisted – by the so-called justice system. The federal judicial branch and system established by the US Constitution and then changed and frankly corrupted by Congress and the influence and desires of the judges themselves.

As a result, in 2025, the American federal court system is a monstrosity that the Founding Fathers never envisioned and would not have tolerated. And because the various State systems are modeled largely on the current FedGov model, they too are tainted – and often downright corrupt.

Like the wicked judge of Jesus’ sermon, sometimes even a corrupt system and the people in it can do the right thing. At least now and then. But that is not what right, moral, or needed by a free people. And as time goes on, the corrupt nature gains more power and causes more harm.

We expect too much of government

One reason that government reform fails, going all the way back to Babylon and Egypt and ancient Chin, is because people refuse to look at the basics. One of those is answering the question, “What should governments do?” What is the function of government? What do we want, what should we want government to do? In ancient and even fairly recent times, even the most tyrannical and totalitarian governments tried to perform all the functions that modern “civilization” expects them to do.

The liberated American State governments of 1776 and their new FedGov in 1787 did virtually none of the tasks we pile on them today – or which they grasp in a lust for power and money.

Is it any wonder that government agencies fail more and more in doing everything we expect them to do?

Deep-six the income tax

Yahoo posted a fascinating clickbait article with all kinds of numbers. What would upper-middle-income wages and salaries be like if the FedGov income tax disappeared? Depending on the various income levels in the States, working folks would take home anywhere from $1200 to $1800 every two weeks. That is an average of more than $30,000 per year per taxpayer.

Government is expensive. The FedGov is more expensive. And what do we get for it?

Well, libertarians and lovers of liberty have long advocated the abolition of this nasty method that the government uses to steal money from the people it supposedly works for. This gives us one more really neat talking point in getting people to at least consider that what we have done for more than a century is a really bad idea—not just expensive but stupid.

Multi-level marketing: government style

Although government agencies (and the legislative branches) are past masters at scams and double-dealing, we do have to remember that the governments are not the only con artists out there.

While it is possible for multi-level marketing to be on the up-and-up, we know that many organizations which employ multi-level marketing strategies are in reality con jobs. Various forms of Ponzi schemes, fake come-ons, and other tactics are far too common. Of course, any form of business organization can be twisted and used for ill-gotten gains.

Generally, though, the attractions of multi-level marketing – and its attractiveness to scumbags who prey on others – isn’t able to be used to their advantage by governments. But…

Has the FedGov found a way? The daily AUSA (Association of the US Army (a private membership organization) recently published this little tidbit:

American schools – more and more are little but a joke

Schools are supposed to educate – to teach people (especially children).

Public schools, that is, government-run, tax-funded, schools are constantly demonstrating that they are generally incapable of doing so. Oh, there are exceptions to this. Schools which have outstanding, loving, and skilled teachers who can educate those that they teach. Some administrators who understand their role to support parents, teachers, and students. But more and more, the quality of schools across the Fifty States is declining.

The attempt to abolish the US Department of Education is in large part driven by understanding this. The decay has gone on for so long, the rot is likely unrepairable. As we have written elsewhere, there comes a point when a system must be abandoned. Broken up for scrap so that anything worthwhile can be put to wise and beneficial use. We believe we are at that point.

Our right to defend ourselves

What (if anything) should restrict our God-given right to defend ourselves? To keep and bear arms? The US Constitution seeks to protect this God-given right (and power) for individuals by telling us that Congress shall make no law infringing on that fundamental liberty.

Most States have similar clauses in their State Constitutions.

Some of them even pay attention to it. Sadly, the FedGov – that is, Congress and the Executive Branch and even the Courts – does NOT pay much attention to it.

One major example of that is the tyrannical denial to people age 18, 19, and 20 that fundamental right.

The dying Department of Education

Although Trump and his agents have repeatedly stated they intended to get rid of the US Department of Education (DEd), his executive order (and bills filed in Congress) seem to have taken many people by surprise. And shocked them.

We here at TPOL strongly believe that the destruction of the DEd is both a good thing and only the first step towards not just improving the education of Americans, but also correcting much of the corruption visited upon our society in the past half-century.

But we warn, it is a single step in the right direction: much much more must be done away with. We have only just begun.

“Real money” or just more fake money?

Robert Koasawli is famous for his statement, “Silver and gold are God’s money. Everything else is fake.”

The folks over at Paradigm put this chart out a couple of days ago:

Gold is more than $3000/ounce.

Remember that until 1934 or so, Gold was valued at $20/ounce.

It isn’t that gold is worth so much more almost a century later – it is that the dollar is more and more worthless. Other prices will soon “catch up” with gold. Consider a favorite analogy of mine. In 1930 a 5.5-ounce bottle of Coca-Cola cost a nickel, roughly a penny an ounce. That was 1/400 Oz Au. Today, a 20-ounce Coke costs $2.40 most places. That is 12 cents per ounce. But the equivalent of that 1930 nickel (1/400 Oz Au) today is an amazing 1/750 Oz Au – or $4 for a 20-ounce bottle. Yet we are getting that bottle for only 60% of that!

Wow, what a bargain we are getting!

Now there are many other factors involved: the economies of scale and technology all cause the price of a bottle of Coke to be reduced somewhat over nearly a hundred years. So, in real money terms, we enjoy very good prices.

The same thing happens when we look at things like gasoline and Diesel prices. And other things.

But the real point is that dollar inflation is killing us – that FRNs are fake money. By gold standards, we have galloping inflation. Wages and salaries cannot keep up with the cost of living: of buying not just luxuries like Coca-Cola but essentials like bread and fruit and veggies.

All courtesy of government, and not just Democrats. The GOP is in on it too – the money they make (not their salaries: that is a pittance compared to the money they rake in while in and then out of Congress and all the government agencies that they infest.

What Anarchism Means To Me

A Guest Editorial By Cat, the Brunette

Anarchism is my declaration of peace with you. It is a repudiation of the use of coercive power to achieve my own ends, or to abet the domination of any man by his fellows, or over his fellows. It is a renunciation of the use and support of structures that function to create discord and disparity among men and between nations, and peddle mayhem and mischief under the aegis of security and protection, and carnage as an acceptable cost — not of survival, but of satiety.

Anarchism is my declaration of independence from corrupt and debauched systems which institutionalize the dominance and submission of the mind and conscience, pillaging the property of the peaceful and raping the human spirit. Authority is a form of privilege. There is one kind of wealth that one can only gain at the expense of another, and that is privilege; money may follow privilege, but it may only buy privilege when there exists a warehousing authority to assign it.
