Osama Bin Laden's death as US Military Strategy

Based on several conspiracy theories and my understanding of how the military has learned to sway public opinion thru Psy-Ops (psychological warfare), I believe Osama Bin Laden was shot and killed several years ago (probably 2001 or 2002) and instead of show off our victory, the US Military decided to "keep him on ice" until what was deemed a better opportunity to use such a victory to direct public opinion.


The reason why is this:
From 2001-2008 the George W. Bush administration needed military and US contractors to remain in Iraq and Afghanistan to complete their control of government and oil (if possible) using the "Search for Bin Laden" as a reason to be occupying (and controlling) the Middle East. If they caught him in 2001 or 2002, they would've had to pull out, leaving that territory (and Saddam Hussein) unattainable.


Whether he was literally "put on ice" (body saved as proof) or just shot and buried is moot at this point. He couldn't survive for a trial, because there is no evidence linking him to 9-11 (Saddam Hussein had plenty of war crimes, and he was taken alive to be put to death in front of the world) so a trial for OBL would've been problematic for those who actually pulled off 9-11, because they would have to cover up lots of "actual facts".


The knowledge of killing him was power enough to withhold from the public until it was deemed advantageous to US Military policy...i.e.: We've got most of our plans, plants and people in the right places in the Middle East, we can now get out of Iraq and Afghanistan...btw, we caught and killed Osama Bin Laden. GO USA!



P.S.
Remember how John Kerry kept phrasing that statement during the 2004 US Presidential elections? "I will capture and kill Osama Bin Laden"...think that was random phrasing?

My Letter to Bradley Manning

Bradley,

TRUST YOURSELF
KEEP THE FAITH
KNOW YOUR POWER
ACCEPT YOUR FATE

Do not try and bend the spoon, that is impossible.
Instead, only try to realize the Truth...there is no spoon.
Then you will see, it's not the spoon that bends...
it's only yourself.

-Jonathan

Are the "powers that be" thwarting our evolution?

What if transparency is necessary for the human race to evolve to the next stage of our evolution?

Has our government, military or big businesses helped us evolve in that regard? No. They are using the power of secrecy to keep power...but secrets are like sand and truth is rock...if you build your fortress on sand, it doesn't take long before the cracks begin to show. The only way to save it, is shore it up with rock (if it's not too late)...already most people don't buy what the governments are selling, so how long do they have before they get washed away?

"Transparency is the Apocalypse" or "the Truth shall set you free" (if you remember that one). When Dorothy pulled back the curtain, she realized all that hype was just a little old man pulling strings to make think he was more powerful than he really is...sound familiar?

All whistle blowers are is people who have become privy to those secrets, and they KNOW the rest of the world wouldn't be happy at what our leaders are doing...so they tell us...and so far, they pay the price. They need our help. Amnesty for transparency would be a great start.

Manning's Motives

Manning went to with his concerns to a commanding officer (as is protocol) and was told to shut the f*ck up. He went around his commanding officer to another superior and was told likewise, STFU. After enough denials, he decided (after a great debate with fellow computer hacker LAMO that you can read online) he would leak all of these practices to the media (thru WikiLeaks, since most mainstream media wouldn't have published it) so the world could see what it's leaders and military were really up to.

That's called "blowing the whistle" on immoral and illegal behavior by those in power. Whistle blowers are those who risk their lives to save the world from incredible malfeasance by those who were elected or put in power to be responsible. Is that treason? Thomas Jefferson would say "hell no." That's being the best patriot America could ask for.

I would've done the same.

The last time this happened was when the "Pentagon Papers" were leaked to Daniel Ellsberg and published by the New York Times in 1971. The Supreme Court ruled that since the government was lying to public about civilian deaths in Vietnam and military actions, the public had a right to know. It changed the course of the war.

Here's a significant difference: The Pentagon Papers were filed "TOP SECRET"...the government cables Bradley Manning leaked (allegedly) were only filed "CLASSIFIED". When President Obama claimed "This isn't the same as what Daniel Ellsberg did" he was right...but not the way he thought he was. Bradley Manning is another whistle blower...and he should be free.

My trip to the "Free Bradley Manning Rally"...six weeks early

So I drove down to Leavenworth, Kansas today for a "Free Bradley Manning Rally"...that was happening six weeks from now. I had a funny feeling something was wrong when I got to the address for the protest an hour late, and no one was there. The next funny feeling I had followed re-reading the two links I had seen about the rally...I had read them both incorrectly.

Soooo...Leavenworth. I'm here...in a clash of decisions I sung, "should I stay or should I go?"

I meditated for a bit, creating space to find out why I was here...then a thought hit me: I wonder if I can ask for and receive an impromptu interview with Bradley Manning...ask, sure...receive? Hmmm...

I took several deep breaths and decided I was doing nothing wrong, so no ill could befall me if I tried. I remembered that our brothers and sisters in the military are human beings like the rest of us, and they would understand my reasons.

I pulled up the driveway into the Leavenworth Prison (1300 Metropolitan...where the rally was to be...six weeks from now) passed the sign saying, "vehicles may be subject to search/you must show ID" and accepted it as a possibility, parked and walked up the hill to the "Visitor processing center".

I opened an old school, screen porch door and looked inside to find a sharply dressed, black prison guard at a desk.

"Hello, I'm Jonathan Getzschman from RevolutionTruth.org. There is a "Free Bradley Manning" rally here on June 4th, and I was wondering if I could interview Mr. Manning before then...like now."

"Who is Bradley Manning?" asked the guard.

...after some explaining, the guard said, "you mean that military kid? He's two miles up the road at Fort Leavenworth Prison."

HAH! The rally was scheduled at the wrong address...no longer my fault.

I asked the guard if he thought there was ANY chance I might have of interviewing Manning.

"You never know," he responded, "good luck sir."

Obviously a sign from God, I proceeded to the military base. On the way in, as I passed more signs that now said, "Vehicles WILL be searched and you MUST have ALL forms of ID necessary," I accepted the now inevitability that my personal belongings would be rooted thru...breathing...breathing...

As I approached the first "check point" there were guards in shiny uniforms swarming the road blocks asking for and receiving papers...that I didn't have. Three of them then approached me...two younger white males and an older one.

"What are you here for?" asked one of the younger guys.

"My name is Jonathan Getzschman of RevolutionTruth.org and I was wondering if there was anyway I could interview Bradley Manning before the rally on June 4th." The two younger guards looked at each other, and their furrowed brows turned into an expression "already-always-knowing" that I was another one of "those people."

"Ok sir...we're going to need you to turn off your vehicle, open all the doors, the hood, the trunk and stand in front of it."

I didn't argue. "I was just throwing it out there...just in case there was a way I could get a chance to talk to him."

"Where did you drive from?" asked the first guard, as I prepared my van for inspection.

"St. Louis."

"You drove all the way from St. Louis to ask us if you could do an interview?" the guard asked eyeing me suspiciously.

"Yeah." Although a complete lie, my ego was still fragile from having my own "already-always-knowing" moment about the date of the rally, so I stuck to it. "I just want to hear his story. I don't mean to mess with your schedule or be a bother."

"Yeah..." the guard said, "why don't you show me your ID and proof of insurance and stand in front of your vehicle."

The other, younger guard searched my vehicle, looking through my bag first, "people who want to find out about a guy who tried to mess up our country makes it our job to find about you."

"Well, I love our country," I said, "and I wanted to hear his side of the story."

As they continued to inspect my van, I heard one of them say, "why does this keep happening?" and the other said, "something must have gone down that we haven't heard about yet," (???) yeah, something like that...but what an interesting exchange.

"What's this group you're with?"

"RevolutionTruth.org...it's a "Free Press" activist organization," I responded, "that seeks to insure that the People's rights aren't violated by intimidation or government censorship." It was at that point that they pulled out my protest sign, "AMNESTY for TRANSPARENCY," made eye contact with each other...and both rolled their eyes.

"Oooooookaaaaaay..."

"Is he clean?" the older guard asked as he approached us.

"Yeah, he's clean. Mr. Gechezmenn? I'm sorry about having to put you thru that sir, but it's protocol. You can't just drive into a military base and ask to speak to high level security risk like that kid."

"Who would I need to ask permission from?"

"The Staff Judge Advocate...you'll have to call him and schedule an appointment."

"Can I write his name down?" I asked. I wasn't sure if I could leave the front of the vehicle yet. He motioned over, and I grabbed my journal.

"Staff...Judge...Advocate...you ever watch 'JAG' on TV?" one of them asked.

"Yes."

"That's the guy you gotta get ahold of. Don't do it this way again."

"Yes sir." I was led to the exit gate by the older guard, and he gave me back my license on the way out. Only about fifteen minutes had passed...I could breathe again...that was the longest breath I ever held.

Whistle Blowers Do The Right Thing

Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years for speaking his mind politically about South Africa. He was a whistle blower. For the first several years, he sat angry and depressed in a 5 foot by 5 foot by 5 foot cage. He became weak and suicidal...until something hit him. They (the government) could take everything physical away from him, but they couldn't take his happiness...unless he allowed them to. He realized, he can be happy ANY TIME HE WANTS TO, regardless of his situation. He made the decision to focus on his happiness within that cell for the next 20 years. Not only did he radiate happiness within him, the prison guards became scared of him. Eventually, they respected him more than their bosses.

You simply decide to be happy...thinking of what makes you happy, writing what makes you happy, feeling what makes you happy, until you are happy. Hold it, nurture it, love it, and grow it. Buddha, Confucius, Jesus and Socrates all kept no kind of Earthly possessions...why?

They realized happiness comes from within.

Mandela took it so far, that even before he was released from prison, his power was so evident, the world EXPECTED him to get out and take control of South Africa. The day it happened, he was released, he was cheered and he waltzed right on into the capital, and declared that he would be the new leader...and HE WAS ACCEPTED.

He also brought the idea of "Amnesty for Transparency" to the country. All war criminals and corrupt politicians were given the chance to admit their crimes and go free. About 50% of them did and testified against themselves and their peers. There was great suffering about it, but the people got to find out what really happened and THEY GOT CLEAN.

That was 1990.

I believe it's happening now, and I recommend "Amnesty for Transparency" for our governments, militaries and big businesses. Bradley Manning, Rudolf Elmer, Adam Winfield, Tim DeChristopher and other whistle blowers are attempting to put this in action, but they are being jailed, because that concept is threatening to people in power who like their gig the way it is and who are directly profiting from it.

Those people in power are in the minority, and they are accountable to US...let's remind them of that whenever possible.

Whistle blowers "DO THE RIGHT THING" when others won't.
