WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS SUNDAY MR PRESIDENT?
by Tess Lawrence | Contributing editor-at-large
Just a single letter differs in their first and last names, but Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden and Barack Hussein Obama could not have been more different.
Obama and Osama
Last night when the 44th President of the United States, in the 17th month of an arduous first term, looked his nation and the world squarely in the TV monitor’s eye to announce bin Laden’s death, he not only pinioned himself to the pages of international history but also booked a second term in The White House.
YES WE CAN = YES WE DID!
He said he could and he did. Such is the audacity of hope. Eat your heart out Dubya, Donald and Dick. Goodbye the D Generation. You losers.
It may have seemed unexpectedly late on a cold Washington Sunday night when African American Obama made his announcement, but make no mistake about the timing.
It was a deliberate strategic attempt in subtle crowd control and crisis management, in the hope that the inevitable wild and joyous nationalistic celebrations could rage well into the night and hopefully subdue somewhat before the gatherings around the water cooler or in the hoodz on Monday after the long night’s day.
It is a fine line between sorrow and revenge, between anger and angst; even finer when the right to keep and bear arms is enshrined in the Constitution.
YOU ARE ONE COOL DUDE, MR PRESIDENT
As President Obama’s speech unfolded and we learned in part, of the extent and chronology of the siege of Abbottabad (about 60-70 kilometres north of Islamabad) I contemplated the personal and political calibre of Barack Hussein.
I thought, you are one cool dude Mr President.
Never mind all the pros and cons. Just for a moment.
I thought of the months of political warfare he has endured both inside and outside of Congress and the scorn and ridicule he has endured since taking office. Of the savaging of his health and other reforms.
And of how the promise of that Obama we saw in the election campaign was becoming more opaque, drowning in the inevitable compromises that must be made with both sides of an increasingly impatient and belligerent House.
As I watched, I thought of how his birthright as an American citizen was put to the test. Of how the 49 year old Hawaiian-born embodiment of the American Dream was constantly under challenge to prove he was indeed born in the USA and not just borne to her shores.
AS IF BEING A MUSLIM IS AN INDICTABLE OFFENCE
Donald Trump
Even on the very day(s) their Commander in Chief was personally directing secret meetings to capture Osama bin Laden, his fellow Americans were challenging not only his presidential legitimacy, but also his religious status.
As if being a Muslim is an indictable offence.
As if the American Constitution was as religiously bigoted as the British Monarchy against which it had revolted.
Whilst the nation that voted the likes of George Dubya Bush into office is the same nation that voted a black man with a Muslim middle name into the Oval Office, as disenchantment with Obama’s administration grew, so did the offensive racist bigotry — much of it fuelled by people who had taken oaths of office and who were aided and abetted by mainstream media flunkies.
Even as Obama was despatching a small squad of America’s elite US Navy Seals to Pakistan, he had little choice but to also despatch a special legal emissary to Hawaii to act as a human courier to bring back a sworn copy of his birth certificate — and upon her return he called a special Press Conference to present the Birth Certificate and post it on The White House website.
DONALD TRUMP- PREPOSTEROUSLY EFFETE
AN ELABORATE COMBOVER CONFECTION
DRESSING TO THE POLITICAL RIGHT
He was despatching the SEALs even as he was dealing on an almost hourly basis with the likes of the irritating and inherently dangerous Donald Trump, who possesses the classic prerequisites for a despotic dictator, complete with dyed and preposterously effete coiffure — an elaborate combover confection, dressing to the political right.
Yet, even as he was despatching the SEALs, Obama, in good nature and humour still graciously presided over the Annual White House Foreign Correspondents’ Dinner, singling out The Donald, delivering punchline upon punchline and with each, striking closer to the cold coinage of Trump’s bigotry until even his fellow guests on his own table clearly felt so uncomfortable at their own clapping and hysterical laughter upon noticing that The Donald had stopped laughing, so they did too.
Even as he was despatching the SEALs, Obama sustained his legendary energy levels and thwarted and deflected each personal and political attack, working virtually 24/7 on the 9/11 mastermind’s case, juggling several time zones and overseeing and directing the bin Laden operation.
Would you or I or anyone ever have guessed this?
You never want to play poker with this dude.
Little wonder that he’s regarded as a smooth operator and a disarming negotiator.
AMERICA HOARSE WITH GRIEF OVER 9/11
America has been politically hoarse with grief since Osama bin Laden’s audacious attack on its sovereignty and soul on that time-suspended slo-mo where-were-you-I-was-dying-I-love-you Tuesday, on September 11, 2001.
9/ll PASSENGERS — ORGANIC SHRAPNEL IN HUMAN CLUSTER BOMBS
How could it be that 19 of his Al-Qaeda male acolytes, some whose flying lessons consisted only of take-off procedures – double the fries but hold on the landing lessons – could hijack with impunity four commercial passenger airlines carrying hundreds of human beings from all walks of life, race and religion and use them as organic shrapnel — turning those planes into human clusters bombs.
Two of them torpedoing into the twin towers of the World Trade Centre remain as one of the prevailing images that define the birth of the Millennium and this century — as well as the death of an America and a world we once knew. Thousands died; even those who weren’t there; loved ones and survivors.
Some will tell you they might as well be dead. Buried alive in their sadness and memory.
GROUND HERO – GROUND ZERO
It was Ground Hero on that day. And not just on Ground Zero.
Passengers and crew on the hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 grappled with hijackers and prevented the terrorists from heading towards Washington DC, choosing instead to sacrifice their lives for the greater good, crashing into a field of lost dreams in Stonycreek township, near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
The fourth plane is the one that is least talked or written about. Because it struck the very fulcrum of America’s security and intelligence systems and brings even greater ignominy to them both. It was the Pentagon.
Now just how could such a thing happen?
OSAMA AND THE BOYS TORCHED THE STARS ON OLD GLORY
BLOOD ON THREE STATES ON THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER
Within a cluster of minutes, Osama and the boys had torched some of the stars on Old Glory. Three States on The Star Spangled Banner now had blood on them. Mostly American.
Let the record state that September 11, 2001, was an inglorious day for America’s home security. Several months before that date, FBI operatives warned HQ in writing of the suspicious behaviour of particular Arab students learning to fly. The warning was ignored.
The world watched in real time at those unforgettable scenes; as the Twin Towers took the hits and buckled, its concrete entrails coughing blood, dust, steel and human beings.
THE FALLING MAN
I WON’T LET HIM HIT THE GROUND
As The Falling Man fell, thus did we fall with him. In our dreams he never hits the ground. I won’t let him.
You all know what happened next.
President George W Bush packaged the Al-Qaida Brand for Osama bin Laden and became his propagandist. He came up with the slogan ‘The War on Terror’ and stupidly referred to it as a ‘Crusade.’
This ill-advised gaffe (sure) immediately played into the semtex and bloodstained hands of bin Laden. Bush elevated his Nemesis to rockstar status. Who needs friends when you’ve got enemies like this?
Then again, we mustn’t forget that Dubya was once in business with Osama bin Laden’s big brother, Salem who was killed in 1988 when he flew his plane into powerlines in San Antonio, Texas. Still a bit of a mystery.
Planes seem to be thematic in bin Laden’s life. And death. His father Sheikh Mohammed was killed in 1967 in a plane crash in Saudi Arabia. The plane had an American pilot.
CHOPPER HAS WARDRAID MALFUNCTION
Even one of the helicopters used in the Abbottabad heist had a wardraid malfunction. At this stage it is unclear whether the chopper was a Black Hawk made in Sikorsky, Connecticut — or was a Black Hawk Boeing Chinook combo.
Whatever it was, the SEAL TEAM SIX – Naval Special warfare Development Group – had to blow it up and the second chopper was used to evacuate the Special Forces and bin Laden’s corpse to safety.
BIN LADEN – SHOT THROUGH THE HEAD ABOVE THE LEFT EYE
It is believed that Osama bin Laden, resisting arrest, was shot twice—in the chest cavity and through the head above the left eye, the impact tearing away part of his skull.
BIN LADEN USES THE NEAREST DISPENSIBLE THING
TO PROTECT HIMSELF FROM THE BULLETS — A WOMAN
In an act of typical cowardice used by terrorists and suicide bombers, when confronted with the inevitable, bin Laden grabbed the nearest dispensable thing next to him; a woman — and used her as a human shield.
Strange how these older men are reluctant to get to Jannah, but are always encouraging younger people to strap on a suicide belt with a one-way ticket.
At the time of going to press, it remains unclear whether the woman was killed or injured by the SEALs, under instructions to take no prisoners in the event of a firefight.
It is believed she could be Amal al Ahmed Sadah, bin Laden’s fourth wife, a Yemeni woman he married when she was seventeen—the same age he was when he first took a wife.
One of bin Laden’s sons, Khalid, was also killed in the operation. It is believed about 25 people in the complex were killed. I am still trying to find out what happened to the bodies of bin Laden’s immediate family and others.
As soon as bin Laden was shot dead, the image was immediately transmitted via a locked code to the President, who was on standby, to confirm the death and that the operation was a success.
Bin Laden compound – blood-stained floor (courtesy Network 7 Newsnet)
This was also done as an additional precaution, in case the evacuation chopper itself was shot down or blown up.
It could so easily have been. Given that Pakistani Defence Systems were under way because of the unauthorised invasion of their air space.
Bin Laden’s corpse was flown to Jalalabad in Afghanistan for identification and measuring — and photographing.
DNA taken from bin Laden’s relatives – including from the brain of one of his sisters – was used to confirm the corpse was indeed that of bin Laden’s and not one of his several human decoys.
There is much yet to be said and written and done about Operation Geronimo-E KIA. (E for Enemy and KIA for ‘killed in action’—an increasingly familiar phrase to families of defence personnel — no such ID for civilians).
This year marks the 10th anniversary of 9/ll.
There’s no escaping the fact that another kind of hell was unleashed upon the world that day.
We daily bear the scars of what happened next. To our peoples. Around the world. We seem to be reconciled to war and the business of killing.
Directly as a consequence of 9/11 thousands of us are dead, wounded in body and spirit, and dying.
As I write, all over the United States – not just in Washington or the hallowed emotional rubble that is still Ground Zero – Americans are celebrating bin Laden’s death amidst an outburst of patriotism and a reclamation of a justice of sorts.
Also, as the earth’s orb turned and a new dawn summoned the world’s different time zones, the ramifications of bin Laden’s death is being dealt with summarily, continent by continent; favoured leaders and heads of state were given the heads up and the fraternal spiel.
AMERICA CUT OFF THE BEARDED HEAD OF THE SNAKE
Pakistani military beefs up security around the US consulate in Karachi
Even before the livestream broadcast, people started to assemble as rumours leeched through the paint on The White House walls, that the President was about to make a public address – and further, that America had cut off the bearded head of the Al Qaeda snake.
As the first wave of euphoria subsides, there are salient questions yet to be answered.
Given that the multi-million dollar Abbottabad home occupied by Osama and his family is just metres away from the Military Academy, it is preposterous to suppose that Pakistan intelligence –ergo Pakistan government – was unaware that Osama bin Laden was domiciled in that house.
It is not surprising that despite the polite but meaningless mention of Pakistan’s role in the operation by the President and other world leaders, the fact is Pakistan is regarded by US, British and Australian intelligence as utterly corrupt, untrustworthy and in fact, collaborators with bin Laden and Al-Qaeda wannabes and others.
Please hold that thought. It is possible that a core group of mainly British-trained Pakistani operatives were, in fact, working with US intelligence.
What has been at play in Operation Geronimo is old-fashioned intelligence and information gathering, involving the patient and painstaking cultivation of sources, informants and trust.
Basic Spooking 101. Ditto diplomacy.
It took President Obama a matter of months to achieve what George W. Bush failed to do in years.
I’m looking forward to the movie and the TV series already. First The West Wing. Now, The Best Wing.
US-based American Emmy award-winning journalist and crisis management guru, Jim Moore, who co-wrote the bestseller Bush’s Brain – How Karl Rove made George W Bush Presidential, puts his views undressed of spin and sentimentality. He did not dance in the streets.
He told me this morning that “I think Pakistan’s leadership is guilty of an ongoing betrayal of the US”.
SADDENED BY PEOPLE DANCING IN THE STREETS OF AMERICA
Jim Moore continued:
James Moore: within months of his book on Bush being released, his name found its way onto a terrorist watchlist.
“They get billions of dollars of our tax money every year and yet they were giving safe harbour to bin Laden.
“There is no way the military did not know he was hiding for six years in a walled mansion, purpose built for security and protection.
“We have been funding the people who have been caring for this killer, and we are more the fools for it.
“I am saddened by the people dancing in the streets of America. I understand the emotional response but our TV screens in the past have been filled with video of radical Islamists shooting their guns into the air, dancing and chatting while celebrating the death of Westerners.
“We have tended to call them uncivilised and yet we somehow think when we act the same it is different.
“In the scheme of things, it is one more death in the war on terror.
“This resolves nothing. There are generations of young Muslims who are angry at the West and killing bin Laden will not abate their desire to strike back, particularly at the US and other participants in the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
“US Intelligence has let it be known that there was sketchy data regarding al Qaeda’s Doomsday Scenario to be implemented if bin Laden were to be killed.
“The death of the terrorist leader has now prompted the more disturbing question of ‘what’s next’ “
Professor Robert Springborg, of the Naval Post Graduate School at California’s Department of National Security Affairs Institute, also has an incisive perspective.
This morning he told me that the “killing of Usama bin Laden by US Navy Seals has substantially strengthened President Obama’s position in foreign policy”.
THIS SHOULD TERMINATE ATTEMPTS BY REPUBLICANS TO
PORTRAY HIM AS SOFT ON TERRORISTS
Professor Robert Springborg said:
“He has already claimed direct oversight of the operation itself and presumably it will become public before long that negotiations with the Pakistani military that made it possible will also come to light, further reinforcing the image of Obama as a hands-on manager of delicate national security affairs.
“This should terminate attempts by Republicans to portray him as soft on terrorists.
“As regards the Middle East, the Arab Spring, combined with US behind-the-scenes management of the NATO campaign against Libya, also provides both opportunities and justifications for President Obama to embark upon new foreign policy initiatives in the region.
Central Intelligence Agency Director nominee, Leon Panetta
“This huge boost to his foreign policy credentials comes precisely at the time at which he is in the process of strengthening his national security team by bringing in General (David) Petraeus as head of the CIA and replacing Secretary of Defense Robert Gates with the politically astute Leon Panetta.
“The critical question is how will he employ his newly enhanced powers during this turbulent period in modern Middle Eastern history?
“At this very moment he is being tested by the Egyptians, whose new Foreign Minister (Nabil Elaraby) has called upon the US to support the declaration of a Palestinian state, leaving Israel as the sole state opposing it.
“Until the killing of bin Laden, the upcoming election and relative weakness of Obama suggested that the prospects for the US using the threatened declaration to place serious pressure on Israel seemed remote.
“Now, however, the newly empowered Obama can seriously contemplate using the pressure of a UN endorsement of the declaration of Palestinian independence to pressure (Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin ‘Bibi’) Netanyahu.
“If indeed that is the case, the killing of bin Laden will paradoxically have contributed to building peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians.”
When Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize after only nine months into his Presidency there was much criticism that he had been prematurely awarded the Honour.
Even in his acceptance speech he acknowledged this: “I am at the beginning, and not the end, of my labours on the world stage”.
How sweet it would be if the Arab and Semitic Springs would merge to make a mighty River of Peace.
There’s the audacity of hope again.
What are you doing this coming Sunday Mr President?

How furious the Bush cabal of Rumsfeld, Cheney and the lap dogs Howard Blair and Downr must be that this didn’t happen on their watch Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity along with their Fox “News” traogs will now be merciless on Obama…God only knows what they’ll hang on him but you know what? nothing will stick now…BH Obama is The man, THE president…and to Tess.. the story is awesome.
Dear Baz, thank you for this. I have to say that like you, I was thinking of
how Rumsfeld,Cheney, Blair and Howard must be feeing, that Team Obama made it happen on his watch. And I’m so intrigued that they used old-fashoned methodogies with modern technologies. Most of all I’m thinking of how many lives would have been saved. Do you remember when Bush ( Dubya ) didn’t want our poor kids ( they are all chldren of the world ) coming back in coffins and body bags wrapped in the American flag ? How could he!
Pity, the story didn’t break during, or shortly before, the Royal wedding. Lol.
Dear Publius, what are you doing awake ?
I mean, what difference would it have made at that time ?
Tess
Just the amusing thought the Royal wedding being interrupted by the Bin Laden story…
But in a way Publius,isn’t it all one of the same,
aren’t we all part of the same human family ?
Another fine piece of analytical writing and thinking by Ms. Lawrence. I think she is correct that our American president has proved most of his critics wrong. Everyone from George W. to Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld are wringing their hands over the fact that Osama was brought to grief by Mr. Obama. What we have to worry about now is what comes next? Al Qaeda is now without much strength in Afghanistan and Pakistan and is more centered in Yemen and the US has been able to stop their last three attempts at terror. But it is hard to stop everything. Still – I think they are an organization that offers more fright than fact and, as Ms. Lawrence has pointed out, we have a leader who is unafraid to act.

STOP PRESS:THE WHITE HOUSE TO RELEASE
PHOTOS OF DEAD OSAMA BIN LADEN.
Tess Lawrence,Independent Australia’s Contributing editor-at-large
confirms The White House will release photos of the dead Osama bin
Laden and that discussion is taking place now as to whether the released
photo(s) will be of the Al Qaeda founder with fatal gruesome head wounds
or whether they will be photos of the body as prepared for burial.
Either way, the veracity of the photos will be challenged.
Moreover, The White House has deliberately courted public demand to
release proof-of-death photos rather than release them at the time
of President Obama’s announcement of bin Laden’s execution, in an
ongoing effort to minimise inflaming extremist response.
What a load of crapp!
another coverup to hide the truth, and why was this guy buried at sea, of a US aircraft carrier. Are the people stupid or what?
Obama using SSN of Social Security Admin. chief’s mother–UPDATED 5/2/2011
Last week Dr. Orly Taitz was abruptly removed from both CNN and MSNBC broadcast interviews for showing meritorious evidence proving President Obama is committing Social Security and Selective Service fraud. Both interviews are linked below and will likely be studied in future college political science classes as prime examples regarding how to smother facts and abuse those who threaten the power of high political office. It is important to view the actual evidence, signed affidavits and court-stamped documents from the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals linked below which note that President Obama is connected to the social security number of the deceased mother of Harry C. Ballantyne, former Chief Actuary of the Social Security Administration (1982-2000), who had access to Social Security databases. It is also not generally known that Obama’s grandmother also had access to Social Security databases as a “volunteer” in the Oahu, HI probate department, having access to social security numbers of the recently deceased. Congress and the media have failed to ascertain and verify Dr. Taitz’ three private investigators’ findings of the President’s links to 39 social security numbers. Such evidence has been obfuscated, ignored and otherwise laughed away without examination, reporting and analysis by a protective media operating more as an extension of government than as protector of the Constitution.
Evidence of government obstruction of evidence was observed by private investigator John N. Sampson. (EXHIBIT 6 BELOW) On, or about November 16, 2009 at the request of Orly Taitz, Sampson requested via his subscription to LocatePlus, any and all legally obtainable information relating to SSN 042-68-4425 which President Obama was using. Results indicated that Obama has used this Social Security number since at least from June 1 ,1986 to present. Obama applied for a Social Security number in the State of Connecticut between the years 1976 and 1977. Sampson found that Obama has never had a direct connection with the State of Connecticut and has never claimed residency there. Sampson’s training as a 27 year immigration officer led him to believe that a Social Security number can only be applied for in the State where the applicant resides. At the times indicated above, Sampson said Obama lived in Hawaii with his maternal grandparents–not Connecticut. Curiously, LocatorPlus froze Sampson’s account when they found out he was conducting an Obama lawsuit search involving the President’s social security number—what they termed a “celebrity political figure” search.
During Cable TV broadcasts, Dr. Taitz has shown Selective Service and Social Security documents which say President Obama is using a Social Security number that was never issued to him. It is these documents that CNN and MSNBC were desperate to cover up to the point of literally cutting off their broadcast interviews of Taitz. Reportedly, Taitz was told that MSNBC editors were screaming in host Lawrence O’Donnell’s ear to cut off the Taitz interview. (See two video clips below)
Sampson says, “based upon information and belief, misuse of a Social Security number is a direct violation of Title 42 United States Code, Section 408(a)(7)(B), which is a federal felony punishable under Title 18 United States Code by fine or imprisonment of up to five years, or both.”
If any other American misused a Social Security number also involving Selective Service or other usage, that person would be serving time in prison. The issue raises questions whether the House, Senate and media consider President Obama above the law and not to be investigated, indicted, impeached or removed from office
“KEY POINTS” FROM THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT (including signed affidavits and exhibits) CERTIFIED BY DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CHIEF JUDGE ROYCE C. LAMBERTH (These are DIRECT QUOTES below from the original complaint certified by Judge Lamberth)
3. Plaintiff works closely with a number of licensed investigators. Intervener received a report and an affidavit from a licensed investigator and former elite Anti Communist Proliferation and Anti Organized Crime unit of the Scotland Yard officer Neil Sankey. Mr. Sankey’s report showed that Barack Hussein Obama (hereinafter “Obama”) is linked in the national databases to some 39 different Social Security numbers and multiple addresses. None of these numbers was issued in the state of Hawaii. The number that he used most often since around 1980 and still uses today, while residing in the White House, is a Connecticut Social Security number 042-68-4425. According to Lexis Nexis and Choice Point this number was originally issued to an elderly individual born in 1890, who resided in Connecticut, but this number was later assumed by Obama and used by him from around 1980-1981.
4. The first three digits of the Social Security number signify the state. “042″ signifies the state of Connecticut.
5. Obama was never a resident of Connecticut.
6. In March-April of 1977 when this number was issued to another individual in Connecticut, Obama was a 16 year old student, residing with his grandparents in Hawaii.
7. To confirm such finding Taitz obtained an opinion of yet another licensed investigator, Susan Daniels, who attested to the fact that the national databases show multiple social security numbers associated with the name Barack Obama, among them Connecticut Social Security number 042-68-4425. used most often.
8. She also found that this number was originally assigned to an individual born in 1890. Later the same number was associated with birth dates 04/08/1961 and 08/04/1961. Dates of 04/08/1961 and 08/04/1961 suggest existence of some documents, created using a European system of dating. Day, Month, Year, versus the American system of Month, day, year. (EXHIBIT 4)
9. Further use of SSNVS (Social Security Number Verification System) shows that combination of Barack Obama’s name and the same Social Security number shows as failed, meaning the the number that Barack Obama is using, was not issued to him, but rather to another individual. This provides evidence of the Social Security Fraud and identity fraud by an individual, occupying the position of the President of the United States of America and Commander-in-chief of the U.S. military. (EXHIBIT 2)
11. National databases such as Lexis Nexis and Choice Point show another Social Security number, originally assigned to an elderly individual, being connected to the name Barack Obama.
12. This Social Security number 485-40-5154 is noteworthy, as it was assigned to Lucille I. Ballantyne, born 12/22/1912, deceased 09/13/1998. (EXHIBIT 4)
13. Ms. Ballantyne was the mother of Harry C. Ballantyne, Chief Actuary of the Social Security Administration (1982-2000), who had access to all Social Security databases and death indices.
14. It is also noteworthy, that Obama’s grandmother Madeline Payne Dunham was known to volunteer at the Oahu Circuit court probate department and had access to Social Security numbers of the recently deceased individuals, whose death may or may not have been reported to the Social Security administration.
15. Taitz verified this data with the third investigator, retired Senior Deportation Officer with the Department of Homeland Security, John Sampson. (EXHIBIT 7) Mr. Sampson provided Taitz with an affidavit, stating that according to his investigation, the number Obama is using most of his life, is indeed a Connecticut Social Security number. Mr. Sampson provided an expert opinion, that there is no reasonable explanation for one residing in HI to get a CT Social Security number. He also found that on one of Obama’s entry questioners the country of origin is listed as Equatorial Guinea, not Kenya or Hawaii.
20. Taitz repeatedly submitted FOIA requests to the SSA, but was repeatedly stonewalled and even redacted information was not provided regarding the social security number 042-68-4425. (EXHIBIT 7, 8)
27. Further records from the Student Clearing House show even more shocking evidence. In his memoirs and multiple speeches Obama wrote that he studied for two years at Columbia University September, 1981-May, 1983. He admitted that in summer of 1981 he traveled to Pakistan to visit his friends, but repeatedly claimed that from September 1981 until May of 1983 he resided in New York and studied at Columbia University. Taitz ran a check of his years of attendance at Columbia and found out that Columbia official records show him attending Columbia for only nine months, September 1982 until May 1983. (EXHIBIT 3) which means that the President of the United States lied to the whole nation about his whereabouts for a whole year, September 1981 until September 1982.

LAWRENCE O’DONNELL (MSNBC) THROWS ORLY TAITZ OFF HIS “LAST WORD” SHOW REGARDING OBAMA FELONY SOCIAL SECURITY FRAUD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB3W5NTAAAo
TAITZ GRANTED TWO ORAL ARGUMENTS AND OBAMA’S FATHER’S IMMIGRATION FILE RELEASED SUDDENLY
“I can tell, that someone high up decided that enough is enough and Obama must go. Maybe, too many people are about to be indicted, if he does not go? I noticed, that suddenly I was granted 2 oral arguments in eligibility cases. Suddenly Obama’s father’s immigration file was released. It is hard for me to believe that all of this is random. Usually those things are not random. It seems the decision was made high up.
There were rumors that U.S. has the body of Osama Bin Ladin for quite some time and will wheel it out, when a perfect diversion, perfect crisis is needed. Our court hearing (9th Circuit Court of Appeals, Pasadena, CA) is scheduled to start in just a few hours. Major networks are supposed to be there with cameras rolling. Suddenly, Obama announces that the body of Osama Bin Ladin is found and we need to prepare for a possible terrorist act. Perfect timing!” (Orly Taitz, May 1, 2011)

STOP PRESS:Obama WILL release photo of Osama corpse.
The White House has confirmed it will release
a photo. As we informed our readers in an earier
comment. Our sources are impeccable.
Dear Tess,
What a piece of journalism. Your in-depth detail about Obama’s treatment and humiliation and his audacity of perseverance to achieve everything he had promised to do, in such a short time frame, considering the tangled nature of the task he has to endure, is an Oscar winning piece. Remember, Obama is, still, cleaning up Bush’s tsunami. I hope Obama’s formidable action should change the attitudes of bigotry and mistrust, not only in the America’s presidential election political spinners, in all minds of humanity.
Cheers!!
Dear Simeneh, thanks for your remarks. You are right to point out that Obama has inherted Bush’s poisoned chalice. It will take years to redress the horrible imbalance. And the world can never make redress for the murderous
Bush ( and cronies, including Blair and Howard ) decisions that leave us today with the horrors of Iraq ( who cares about poor old Iraq now, huh ) Afghanistan, Pakistan,etc, etc. We can’t breathe life into the dead.
But Simeneh, I do not condone state sanctioned killngs. Or non sanctioned killings for that matter.
What are your thoughts ?
People talk of the “wow” factor in food, but you are the “wow” in words, Tess. You titillate the palette, arouse are senses, get those taste buds longing for more – and stimulate our appetite for more Tess Lawrence news stories. Insightful, incredibly detailed and delivered with your customary humour. I’m sorry I missed the days of you and Barry Everingham on 3AW. What a duo you must have been. What were they thinking at Channel 10 giving Andrew Bolt his own program when they could have had the Tess and Barry take on world events…… ah well…….
Why would the US bury the corps of Osama from a US Aircraft carrier in the Arabian sea within hours of his death? So what else id going on?
Don’t recall them doing that with Saddam and cohorts.
I believe Obama is just continuing with the same policies as his predecessors did. Medicaid, patriot act, bail outs for corporations, still to the tune of 4 billion a day, Lybia conflict etc same old stuff,same old policies, just a new horse. You might just have a look at the people behind Obama, the Policy makers,The wheelers and dealers, most worked for the same establishment every one thought they got rid of.
OBAMA SCORNS JULIA!
British Prime Minister David Cameron
was woken up at 3.30am by President
Barack Obama himself to be told of
the death of Osama bin Laden.
Our Prime Minister heard about it
third hand.
Thanks Sandi – Bolt on Channel Ten of all Channels; just another cartoon filler before Sunday afternoon sport. He doesn’t seem to have done much for MTR.
STOP PRESS: OSAMA/OBAMA UPDATE.
Dear Readers, As we exclusively
revealed earlier, Obama WILL release
a photo of the dead Al Qaeda founder,
Osama bin Laden. The White House and
the CIA are in dispute over whether
to release photos of bin Laden showing
the gruesome bullet wound(s) in the
upper head above the left eye – or the
photos after the face was cleaned and
his body prepared for burial. It is
understood that the latter photos were
taken in preparation for the anticipated
backlash of the burial at sea – but also
for family of the extended bin Laden
clan. IA revealed in an earlier posting
that the administration was still undecided
about what photos should be released to the
public.
It should be noticed that it is rare for
the CIA to publicly admit it is conflict
with The White House.
I would have thought it was simply natural progression for Bolt to move to a TV station owned by Packer and Murdoch.
maybe bolt should move to the White House, seems to be enough BS coming from that place, whats a little more?
You have probably woken up to the news that President Obama decided not to release photos of bin Laden’s corpse. His reasons were that the photos are gruesome and possibly inflammatory. I agree with this — we don’t need to exhibit such dubious “trophies”.
Nice article Ms. Lawrence.
Hi Tess,
I absolutely don’t condone any sugar coated killings of sanctions that are only a formality motivated to satisfy political appraisal by the butchers.
Talking about butchers, what about taking Blair, Bush and Howard to the so called ICC-International Criminal Court for using weapons of human destruction disobeying UN’s rule of law. I believe ICC has bigoted opinions; you have detailed about Obama’s treatment. ICC is only chasing, the underprivileged and none threatening, to their position, leaders of other countries like African leaders and the like.
My final opinion about Obama’s refusal to show the badly gunned down body of Osama is the right thing to do. Why do people are interested to see the dead body of a man? There are enough evidences presented including Osama’s daughter, who was in the compound at the time of shooting, said, “her dad was killed unarmed”. It is only a fantasy that people want to see Osama caught live like Saddam but don’t foresee the ramifications this might bring will be intolerable.
Thanks Mr Weissel. Speaking from a crisis management/media/communications point of view, I am astonished at how the Obama Administration has mismanaged
this entire sordid affair. What are your thoughts on this aspect ?
Basically, I agree with you (except for the word “sordid”). When Obama made the announcement Sunday night, he should have concluded by stating firmly that no further details would be released by the White House until all SEAL and CIA operatives were back in the U.S., fully debriefed, accounts analyzed, and discrepancies among the accounts resolved. This would likely take a week or two. While this seems sensible to me, I realize that it is unrealistic.
First and foremost, Obama is sensitive to the “people’s right to know”. The President and his designates are accountable to the public and to Congress. Second, the media would not willingly accept a moratorium on information about the operation that killed bin Laden. The media is a ravenous beast that desires frequent feedings, particularly about such a sensational story.
As a dual AUS/US citizen, resident in the NY area, a registered Democrat, and a supporter of Barack Obama, I wince every time an Administration spokesperson takes the microphone to modify or correct earlier statements. Credibility ebbs each time.
