Pakistani Witness of Bin Laden Raid Says Soldiers Died in Helicopter explosion

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!!

November 22, 2013

We all remember the famous raid of Seal Team Six in Pakistan, where Osama's demise was the victory of America's "War on Terror" back in 2011. Not to mention the fact that it was Obama's way of raising his falling popularity right before election time.

When the raid happened, there were reports that one of the U.S. Assault Helicopters had crashed at some point during the raid, and so the mainstream media later reported that one of the helicopters in the raid had malfunctioned while landing in the compound and crashed but that the Seals were able to escape the damaged helicopter and complete the raid. However, neighbors living in the neighborhood of the compound stated that the helicopter did not crash until the Seal Team was departing out of the compound building and had boarded the Helicopter, and that as the helicopter had began to lift off, it exploded in flames.

Here is an article on Global Research showing full details of a Pakistani citizen who lived near the supposed Bin Laden Compound:

What the public were told by the US government via the corporate media, and what actually happened during the White House’s much-celebrated “Bin Laden Raid” in 2011 – are not the same.One thing which becomes clearer by the day about the fabled Bin Laden Raid which took place in Abbotabad, Pakistan, is that the US government has intentionally deceived the public about what happened. In other words, what President Obama described when he addressed the American people following “the raid” – was a work of pure fiction.Navy-Seal-Team-6-Bin-Laden-raidThe following interview appeared on Pakistani broadcast channel, Sama TV, and includes a translation in English from an eye witness on the scene.
If the translation is accurate, then this eye witness blows the lid off of another plank in the White House’s fictional drama.
The following is an interview with Muhammad Bashir, who lives next door to the alleged ”compound” of Osama bin Laden. He claims that the first US helicopter suffered an explosion, which killed all of its US military occupants, somewhere between 10 and 20 men.
Based on this man’s testimony, we have to ask the question: did the White House cover this up in order to protect the Dear Leader from a devastating “Jimmy Carter moment” (1979 Iran hostage rescue cock-up).
That’s certainly what this looks like at first glance. Would Obama lie to protect his and his party’s political legacy? We’ll let the readers answer that question.
“It seems that although initially, the TV station was overjoyed with this interview, they changed their tune, twenty four hours later (for some unknown reason)”. You decide why…


So the original lie, the 9/11 Operation, was covered up by the next lie – the Bin Laden Raid.Following on to this, it only stands to reason that the Abbotabad lie should be concealed by the next lie. The next lie is that no one knows where Bin Laden’s body is. In stark contrast to President Obama’s declaration that bin Laden was “buried at sea”, US Navy Sailors on the USS Carl Vinson have stated on record did not witness an at-sea burial of Osama bin Laden. Therefore, someone is lying. Did Barack Obama chop down the cherry tree?
So if Osama bin Laden was not at Abbotabad, or on the USS Carl Vinson – as the evidence, and lack thereof, dictates, then where is he? More than likely, he was dead years before Obama’s glorious raid, but it served two US Administrations to keep his image alive in order to justify the unprecedented military, and security police state build-up which ensued following 9/11. In case readers aren’t aware, there are many high ranking official statements that back up this claim, and at least one of those who spoke of this in public, Benazir Bhutto, was assassinated shortly after saying it.
Hollywood even made a blockbuster propaganda film to back-up the US government’s tall tale. It was called Zero Dark Thirty, and it was a big money maker too. So everyone is happy, right? No really, as the can must be kicked down the road one more time…
One more lie, before we wrap this up. According to the same government sources from the first two lies listed, on August 6, 2011, a U.S. Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopter, with the call sign Extortion 17, was shot down in Wardak province, west of Kabul, Afghanistan, amazingly, killing all 38 people on board including 25 American special operations personnel. The US claimed that the bodies were so badly burnt that they were forced to cremate them immediately, as if on some sort of deadline to make them disappear. Again, and with both 9/11 and the Bin Laden raid, there are no survivors, no bodies, no photos, and no real evidence available that prove the government’s creative version of events. How do we even know those men actually died in that same Chinook crash? Will we ever know? Not if the US government is allowed to tell its people endless lies, all in the name of national security.
After viewing Pakistani TV interview (above), former Assistant US Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts explains, “I am confident that no news organization believes that it could confront such an important US national myth in this way. The killing of bin Laden satisfies the emotional need for revenge and justice. In the least, a news organization that challenged the government’s story would be cut off from all government sources and be denounced by politicians and a large percentage of the gullible US population as an anti-American terrorist-serving organization.”
Read full transcript of the Pakistani news translation here.
By the way, no one in Abbotabad, or in Pakistan it seems, actually believes the fictional Bin Laden raid drama either. 
There were also witnesses who said that the man identified by Western media in the compound raid as Osama Bin Laden was not Bin Laden at all:


According to the witness in this BBC News report, the man labeled as Bin Laden was really called  Akhbar Han - his neighbour. 


US perpetrates "Boston bombings" weekly using drones worldwide: Report

Press TV
April 25, 2013




Even as Americans grieve over the Boston Marathon bombings, they should know that US assassination drone strikes worldwide kill many more people weekly and continue unpunished, an analyst says.


“While we mourn the horrific events in Boston, we must remember that our government perpetrates a Boston bombing weekly in Pakistan, Yemen and Afghanistan,” political commentator Sean McElwee says. 

He adds that although the White House administration alleges that it prefers trials for the rule of law, the true reason for its targeted killing program across the globe is that: it’s cleaner, simpler and less embarrassing to just off the suspected terrorists. The government uses mafia logic - why waste time and energy risking the rule of law when you can just swoop in and launch a smart bomb? 

On April 15, the twin bombings near the finish line of the Boston Marathon killed three people and injured more than 170. 

At least five people were killed and seven others injured on April 17 in an attack by a US terror drone in northwestern Pakistan’s tribal region. The drone strike took place in South Waziristan’s Babar Ghar area. 

Local officials said the US drones fired two missiles at a house in South Waziristan, and that the house was completely destroyed in the attack. 

On April 14, four people were killed by a US terror drone in the Datta Khel area, located some 35 kilometers (22 miles) west of Miranshah, in North Waziristan.

American Immorality Is At A Peak


Paul Craig Roberts

When Chris Floyd is at his best, as he is below, he puts things in perspective for readers that they otherwise never confront. Obama has won reelection, and his supporters think that somehow things are going to be different. Fat chance.
While evil continues to envelop America, the public is focused on CIA director General Petraeus’ resignation. The FBI spied on him and found that he was having an affair with his biographer, a woman 20 years younger than his 60 years.
What is it with Americans and sex? Why is an illicit affair the ONLY reason for removing someone from political office? Why is it that government officials, presidents and vice presidents included, can violate US statutory law and torture people, spy on Americans without the necessary warrants, murder US citizens without due process, confine US citizens to dungeons for life without evidence and due process of law, start multi-trillion dollar wars on the basis of contrived allegations that have no basis in fact, murder civilians in seven countries, overthrow legitimate governments, and all of these massive crimes against humanity can be accepted as long as no one in Washington gets any sex out of it? Is this feminism’s contribution to American morality?
Has the United States, the hero of the cold war, become in its behavior and motivations the enemy it overcame? Why does Washington want hegemony over the world? Why does Washington want this hegemony so badly that Washington is willing to murder women, children, aid workers, husbands and fathers, village elders, anyone on earth including its own American heroes?
What is the evil that drives Washington?
How can the evil that drives Washington be contained, stamped out, prevented from destroying the human race?
What does the world do when it confronts unbridled evil, which is what Washington is?
The Reality of the “Lesser Evil”

Is This Child Dead Enough for You? ~ Chris Floyd
To all those now hailing the re-election of Barack Obama as a triumph of decent, humane, liberal values over the oozing-postule perfidy of the Republicans, a simple question:
Is this child dead enough for you?
This little boy was named Naeemullah. He was in his house — maybe playing, maybe sleeping, maybe having a meal — when an American drone missile was fired into the residential area where he lived and blew up the house next door.

Rare US missile attacks hit northwest Pakistan

Yahoo News
June 20, 2011

PARACHINAR, Pakistan (AP) — Suspected U.S. drones fired missiles at a vehicle and a house in northwest Pakistan, killing at least seven people Monday in a rare attack in an area where some of NATO's fiercest enemies have reportedly traveled, Pakistani officials said.

The first attack in the Kurram tribal area hit a vehicle, killing five suspected militants, said Noor Alam, a local government official. As tribesmen rushed to the scene, the vehicle was again struck, killing two more people, he said.

Minutes later, a suspected U.S. drone attacked a nearby house, but it is not yet clear whether that strike caused any casualties, Alam said.

The identities of the suspected militants killed in the strikes Monday in Kurram were not yet known. The attacks were confirmed by two Pakistani intelligence officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

The Obama administration has dramatically stepped up covert CIA drone attacks against militants in Pakistan, but there have only been a handful of strikes in the Kurram tribal area.

Most of the recent drone strikes have taken place in North Waziristan, an important sanctuary for the Haqqani network, which U.S. military officials have said is the most dangerous militant group battling foreign forces in Afghanistan.

The U.S. has repeatedly asked Pakistan to launch an offensive against the network in North Waziristan, but the military has said that its forces are stretched too thin by other operations in the tribal areas. As a result, the U.S. has stepped up drone attacks in the area. The strikes Monday in Kurram could signal an expansion of this effort.

Drone attacks are extremely unpopular in Pakistan and have generated tension between Washington and Islamabad, which increased following the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden last month and humiliated the Pakistani government.

US Ready To Swap Occupation of Afghanistan For War On Pakistan?

Paul Joseph Watson

May 17, 2011


With the Obama administration fast approaching a July deadline that mandates troops be withdrawn from Afghanistan, Pakistan is moving into the cross hairs as the next targeted conquest of the “war on terror,” with NATO helicopters launching an attack on a Pakistani military outpost today, triggering a firefight that injured two soldiers, as Pakistan moves closer to China in an effort to avoid geopolitical isolation.


Although NATO claimed it was responding to an unprovoked attack, Pakistan lodged a “strong protest,” stating that its soldiers were merely responding to an illegal incursion into Pakistani airspace.

“The incident is certain to weigh on relations between the U.S. and Pakistan have been pushed almost to the breaking point after the May 2 raid on Abbottabad that killed bin Laden, with Pakistan’s parliament condemning the operation as a violation of the nation’s sovereignty,” reports Reuters.

Pakistan’s political leaders as well as its citizens have been vociferous in their protests against US Predator drone strikes in the country that have killed 10 innocent people for every “militant” killed. These demonstrations reached fever pitch in the days before Obama’s announcement that Navy SEALS had killed Bin Laden at a compound in Abbottabad.

Washington was also furious about the Pakistani ISI’s role in outing CIA operative Raymond Davis, who shot dead two Pakistanis he claimed were trying to rob him in January.

NATO Helicopters Fire on Pakistani Troops

Pakistani officials say NATO helicopters crossed into Pakistan and fired on troops, wounding two soldiers in an incident that drew a strong protest from the Pakistani military.

Tuesday's attack in the Datta Khel area of North Waziristan came amid heightened tensions between the United States and Pakistan, following the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad.

Pakistan's army says troops fired on NATO helicopters after they crossed into Pakistan's northwestern tribal region from neighboring Afghanistan. Two soldiers were wounded when the helicopters returned fire.

NATO has confirmed it had helicopters flying near the border, and said it is investigating the incident.

A Western military official said the two helicopters were on the Afghan side of the border and were fired on from inside Pakistan. He said the helicopters only fired back after receiving fire twice.

North Waziristan is known to be a hub for Taliban and al-Qaida-linked militants who carry out attacks in neighboring Afghanistan. The tribal region repeatedly has been targeted by U.S. drone strikes.

Pakistan's army lodged a protest Tuesday and demanded a meeting with NATO on the alleged cross-border attack. Pakistan briefly closed the main land route for NATO supplies in Afghanistan after a similar incident last year in which two Pakistani soldiers were killed.
