Bin Ladin's Bookshelf

[Fellow Aspirant]

Recently, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence posted a lot of materials associated with their investigation of Bin Laden. I'll post the link to the site itself, a little later in this piece, but before that, I'd like to remark on the contents of his bookshelf, i.e.:

There are many books that would not be out of place in the homes of most Avalonians. I have copies of several of the same books. "The Secret Teachings of All Ages" by Manley P. Hall is one I will quickly admit to, for example, as well as Chomsky's "Necessary Illusions" masterpiece. It would appear that his (B L's) interests were much the same as mine, with respect to religious study, the Illuminati, the history of American transgressions throughout the world, the nature of the Federal Reserve and banking corruption in general and even conspiracies associated with 911. Notably absent: a Koran (although his would probably have been kept in a separate and sacred place in his home) Most interesting, to me, was the 1977 Select Committee on Intelligence's report on the MK Ultra program.

Makes one wonder about the possibility of him having been a member here. :confused:

Intro from the site:

On May 20, 2015, the ODNI released a sizeable tranche of documents recovered during the raid on the compound used to hide Usama bin Ladin. The release, which followed a rigorous interagency review, aligns with the President’s call for increased transparency–consistent with national security prerogatives–and the 2014 Intelligence Authorization Act, which required the ODNI to conduct a review of the documents for release.

The release contains two sections. The first is a list of non-classified, English-language material found in and around the compound. The second is a selection of now-declassified documents.

The Intelligence Community will be reviewing hundreds more documents in the near future for possible declassification and release. An interagency taskforce under the auspices of the White House and with the agreement of the DNI is reviewing all documents which supported disseminated intelligence cables, as well as other relevant material found around the compound. All documents whose publication will not hurt ongoing operations against al-Qa‘ida or their affiliates will be released.

Happy Conjecturing! :sun:

Thanks for posting this. I call bs on the whole thing, in my opinion, the facts point to him dying sometime in late 2001 and being buried in the Pashtun mountains.. So we storm his hideout, kill the highest value target in our lifetime by mistake, scoop up all his pot, books and memoirs about how he did 911 at al, then bury him at sea without any pictures coming to light... I call bs on the whole thing.. As for his reading list, maybe THEY are making a case for those publications to be banned? I can't see the play here, I just know that there is one.... N

[Tesla_WTC_Solution]

Oh my goodness. Maybe those books got him on the watch list? j/k

A few years ago, my family had a yard sale. This totally creepy bald guy showed up,
acted kind of full of himself, picked up a book I was getting rid of.

It was a book about Hitler, one of those show and tell or reader's digest rags.
This fellow, picked up the book, looked at me and said,

"You know, the amazing thing about Hitler is how he got all those people to do what he wanted"
.

needless to say i was speechless and charged him a dollar for the book.
he seemed offended. LMAO

I wonder if the same sort of people who haunted my harmless yard sale,
haunted him!

Libraries are dangerous because they build minds!

And according to the film "November Man",
the agencies aren't after intelligence, they're after people!

;) "what we do is find and collect people" ~November Man


Super super creepy stuff.

Bin Laden’s ‘bookshelf’ shows his interest in conspiracy theories. The al-Qaeda leader’s reading list included a work about 9/11 by philosopher David Ray Griffin, who argues the Twin Towers more likely collapsed because of explosives than because of the aeroplanes that crashed into their side. New Pearl Harbor by David Ray Griffin: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11 That' cute! Isn't it!

I wonder if the FBI will start considering the hacker angle, due to the recent scandal with the researcher hacking into flight control systems,
was in the news last week!

The hacker angle in regards to 9/11, of course :(

[Kryztian]

I would put quotes around the name "Bin Laden" - who's books were these really? As we know, Osama Bin Laden definitely died in 2002, or 2003 or was I 2001? Well, who knows, but most definitely not on May 2nd, 2011, just in time to give Obama a boost for the election. After reading the Hersh story, which he seems to believe was the real Osama (it could have been one his doubles there), one has to wonder, how the Seal Team Six, which had to rush in and out of the compound with Osama body's (or the body double) and get back to the helicopters in minutes to avoid a shootout, had time to inventory the library???

This leaves a lot of questions about who's book list this really is and why is it being released to the world now, just after the Seymour Hersh story comes out. Perhaps Bin Laden lived in this place at one time and those really are his books? Or did someone at the CIA just make the list up? I have to wonder if Bin Laden had the intelligence to read Noam Chomsky and some of these other authors, even in Arabic, let alone in English.

One thing seems clear, whoever released this list wanted to get this message out there: if you read books doubting the official story of 9/11, books that ask if there are secret groups and secret societies that run the world, then, you are a dangerous person, just like Bin Laden, willing to wage Jihad on the good mass media watching popcorn crunching citizens of the U.S.A.

Do you have some evidence, even anecdotal, that he was lacking intelligence?

[Omni]

Likely released this info to associate conspiracy researchers with terrorists IMO.

[Cardillac]

if my read sources are correct Osama bin Deadawhile died in a US military hospital in Dubai in December 2001; then add Benazir Bhutto's testemony on the David Frost show just one month before she was assassinated where she stated a certain "Omar Scheich" (had supposedly funded Mohammed Atta re: 9/11) yanked Osama permanently around a corner...

[MillsReef1776]

I think they released this information to coincide with Rand Paul's filibuster against reauthorizing the Patriot Act. They're trying to gin up support for the reauthorizing of the liberty-violating Patriot Act by showing what information treasures the government and intelligence agencies are supposedly able to acquire if we only give these "experts" complete freedom in their actions. I am, like many, very skeptical that Bin Laden was even at the compound during the Bin Laden raid, and this is likely another public relations ploy by the intelligence agencies to make themselves look good.

I couldn't agree with you more. Convenient timing for sure.

The average college graduate in the U.S.A. does not have the ability to read Chomsky in their own language. I am not saying Bin Laden lacked intelligence, I am saying that he has been portrayed in the U.S. media as being a fundamentalist, not an intellectual interested in deeper ideas.

I've read some dense stuff from Aristotle to Heidegger, and I think I could read Chomsky, but not with ease, and to read him in a foreign language would be an agony for me. If Bin Laden did read Chomsky in English, he was certainly a very, very different person that the one who we hear about on CNN.

I care Bin Laden not more than Valarie Plame. I am not sure on his intelligence level but I am sure he was the member of the some Intelligence Agency.

Your comment on his intelligence level, put me to assume, yours.

How can I comment on Valarie Plame's intelligence?

If the news about this list isn't pure propaganda then I don't know what is.

Exactly what I thought when I saw the BBC article last night.................


Post...#1

Worlds Apart ? BLATENT PROPAGANDA ? .......Bin Laden 'focused on US to the end', papers show

Looking at the heading under conspiracy I was not sure whether to post this under 9/11
or mind control as this account as far as many are concerned is a real 'government
conspiracy'. I was just looking at the BBC headline page and this article has been
recently posted via BBC north America by the looks of it and I wonder if it was timed
to counter the publicity last week by Seymour Hersh , saying the US government lied
about aspects of the assassination of the supposed ailing Bin Laden . Which in itself
is suspect if you follow what has been happening pre and post 9/11.

This is just as bad .........The mail is a Right wing outlet.


left-wing radical Noam Chomsky before his death

They name Noam quite a few times in the article below , which
shows the mails colours on this issue unfortunately.

Bin Laden's bookshelf: The al Qaeda leader had articles on 9/11 conspiracy theories
along with left-wing liberal works by Noam Chomsky at his Pakistan compound


A newly-released list of Osama bin Laden's 'bookshelf' has revealed the al Qaeda
leader was obsessed with 9/11 conspiracy theories and U.S. military strategy along
with dabbling in works about the Illuminati bloodlines and magic.The titles of
hundreds of books, journals and newspaper articles recovered during the raid on
bin Laden's Pakistani compound were published by the Office of the Director of
National Intelligence on Wednesday.Dozens of letters written by bin Laden to his
family and senior members of al Qaeda were also released.

Works by left-wing liberals Noam Chomsky and Michael Scheuer were recovered
from the bin Laden home along with the Oxford History of Modern War and
Bloodlines of the Illuminati by Fritz Springmeier.

The 9/11 mastermind was killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan on May 2, 2011, by
U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six.

Jeff Anchukaitis, spokesman for the US Director of National Intelligence's office,
said the release of 'a sizeable tranche of documents recovered during the raid'
was in keeping with President Obama's call for 'increased transparency'.

The glut of intelligence information also comes just a week after the White House
was forced to deny that Pakistan had been told in advance about the 2011 U.S.
special ops raid that led to bin Laden's death.

Veteran U.S. journalist Seymour Hersh claimed in a British publication earlier this
month that Pakistan's security services not only knew about the raid, but had been
holding bin Laden prisoner since 2006.

That account was rejected by the White House.

document titled 'A Letter to the Sunnah people in Syria'

As part of the National Intelligence agency release today, a total of 39 English language books
were listed on a broad range of subjects - from a Handbook of International Law to an
encyclopedic work on mystical religions called The Secret Teachings of All Ages.

Bin Laden also had the work of 9/11 conspiracy theorists including the saved, single web page
of an article titled, 'Website Claims Steve Jackson Games Foretold 9/11'.

Many of the titles on bin Laden's shelves related to America's role as a military superpower in
the modern world.

'Unfinished Business, U.S. Overseas Military Presence in the 21st Century' by Michael O'Hanlon
was found along with 'Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower' by William Blum;
and New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11 by David Ray Griffin.

He appeared not only fixated on George W Bush's tactics post-9/11 but also with President Obama's role.

A copy of investigative journalist, Bob Woodward's work, Obama's Wars, was found in the terrorist den.


Left-wing liberal works by renowned thinker Noam Chomsky were found (left) along with a book titled
'Bloodlines of the Iluminati', according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence
