I think Osama bin Laden made a (literally) fatal mistake. I mean, he was rich. He should have bought up a bunch of American corporations (including of course some media companies). After all, look at what big corporations have done to our country (and we are only looking at recent events): yes, they negligently poisoned the water supply of hundreds of thousands of Americans, but what about investment bankers nearly destroying our country’s economy, killing millions of jobs and wiping out seniors’ retirement accounts, not to mention costing us billions of dollars to bail them out?
Corporations also spent an estimated billion dollars on a propaganda campaign to deny climate science and convince us to keep using fossil fuels — estimated because 75% of the funds are untraceable. Who knows, maybe some of that money came from terrorists.
Or bin Laden could have taken over the automobile industry and brought it to its knees, requiring another bailout. Or how about causing a housing bubble, creating widespread homelessness? Oh wait, he didn’t need to do those things, we did them for him!

And the list of those responsible who were prosecuted and jailed is 0. Unless i missed one somewhere.
Unbelievable.
Obama did extort 20 billion from BP for the oil spill, so I guess they learned their lesson and followed Exxons policy of contributing generously to party in power. But they also contibuted to the Valdez cleanup. So what did the financial marklets contribute to the housing cleanup? Oh thats right they asked for bailouts. See now BP should have followed their example instead.
Jeez, I just don’t get it.
After reading the commentary below This Modern World about Bin Laden’s fatal mistake, I am wondering if you REALLY believe the US Official Story about 911.
If so you need to look into it more.
It wasn’t Bin Laden and 19 Arabs that did 911. He denied being involved in 4 different videos, said it was a violation of the Muslim code, and expressed his sorrow for us.
Remember the anthrax attacks? If they had originated in a foreign government lab in Africa or the Middle East, it would have been bombed to smithereens. Since it came from a mad scientist at a U.S. government lab who was paid to play with anthrax (according to the FBI), the response was…to give the lab more money to hire more mad scientists to play with anthrax! But remember, they’re here to help; the threat is only from radical Muslims.
Bill – “said it was a violation of the Muslim code, and expressed his sorrow for us.”
Are there any facts to prove your statements? Could you please post a link?
