been circulating online for two years...

An image purporting to show Osama bin Laden's bloody corpse,
right, is a composite of two separate images, left and centre.

An image apparently showing a dead Osama bin Laden broadcast
on Pakistani television and picked up by British newspaper
and websites is a fake.

The bloodied image of a man with matted hair and a blank,
half-opened eye has been circulating on the internet for the
past two years. It was used on the front pages of the Mail,
Times, Telegraph, Sun and Mirror websites, though swiftly
removed after the fake was exposed on Twitter.

It appears the fake picture was initially published by the
Middle East online newspaper themedialine.org on 29 April
2009, with a warning from the editor that it was "unable
to ascertain whether the photo is genuine or not".

The Daily Mail was one of the newspaper websites to publish
the fake picture of Osama bin Laden's body. Since then,
however, the image has been claimed as genuine on a number of
conspiracy forums and used to substantiate claims that the
terrorist responsible for the 9/11 bombings had been killed.

The Guardian was one of the few sites to hold back from using
the manipulated image on its front page, reporting the
picture's existence in its live blog but questioning its
legitimacy.

The image is based on a genuine photograph of Bin Laden taken
in 1998 and used by the Reuters news agency.

On Twitter, a composite including the other photograph used
to make the image was posted by @HannahMarbina and other
users showed how easy it was to find the image already online
with a simple search.

A "May Day" surprise, just as the attack on Libya is taking
a wrong turn, just as the entire free world is calling for
the abandoment of the US Dollar as the global reserve
currency, just as Donald Trump (ironic how Obama's live
press conference pre-empted "The Apprentice") began to attack
Obama's birth certificate and academic bona fides, just as
China announces they will further divest of up to 2/3rds of
their US holdings, just as S&P downgrades their outlook on
US debt, just as gold and silver hit new highs (did you catch
Sen. Harry Reid talking about how happy they were to see the
gold price correct on the Bin Laden death news?), just as
Ron Paul announced his exploratory committee for 2012, and
just as both Obama and Congress hit new all time lows in the polls.

Democratic political strategists have been saying for months,
that Obama needed his own "Oklahoma City," referring to
how Bill Clinton used that crisis to "rally America around
the flag," and reverse his collapse in the polls...

Whodathunkit?!?

I guess we'd better listen to Franken-Janet and prepare for
those "retaliation attacks" that DHS is now warning us about.

Sorry to be such a patriot-party pooper, but I'm reserving
my flag waving and champagne poppin' for the day Seal Team 6
brings the real terrorists to justice, you know...

George Soros, Jacob Rothschild, Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke,
Bob Rubin, Larry Summers, Hank Paulson, Lloyd Blankfein et al,
not to mention their bought and paid for, treasonous lackeys
in Congress like Chris Dodd and Barney Frank who allowed
the (s)quid pro quo dismantling of regulatory oversight
like Glass Steagall, who lit the derivatives fuse with
the passage of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act,
and who just 15 months after the blow up of LTCM, allowed
Hankster-the-gangster Paulson to steamroll the SEC into
lifting leverage limits on Wall Street and allowing the
big investment banks to self-regulate, while turning
Fannie & Freddie into financial 3-Mile Islands...
taxpayer backed toxic waste dumps for their bogus
mortgage paper in which they sucked out hundreds of
billions of dollars of earnings that only existed on paper,
while paying themselves obscene salaries and bonuses.

Sorry, but I'll reserve my flag waving until the real terrorists
are brought to justice.

Oh, and I didn't forget about Bush-Cheney.

Read the next post for an expose that never hit the
mainstream press, which will pull back the curtain
on the governments ongoing PSYOP operations.
