I've already provided more than enough evidence for all rational people to seriously doubt the authenticity of the "Osama bin Laden is dead" story. I've also exposed the many faked images and videos of the alleged terrorist mastermind that were released over the past 10 years. But the US government and CIA aren't ready to quit just yet. It would appear that they're determined to push the boundaries of belief and exploit public credulousness to the max (and perhaps beyond).
You're probably aware that yesterday, Sat. 7th May 2011, the US government released "new" videos of 'bin Laden' that they claimed were part of the haul from the 'compound' in Pakistan, which, by the way, is very conveniently scheduled for destruction.
These new videos include footage that is similar to previous 'bin Laden' tapes, but also include footage of some guy sitting in a room watching news reports about Osama bin Laden. The US government and the fawning Western media are claiming that the guy sitting on the floor watching television is Osama bin Laden in his 'compound' and that the video could have been made as recently as Spring 2011. The problem is that we only get to see the man sitting on the floor from the side, there are no front-on shots that would allow us to see the man's face and ascertain whether or not he looks anything like bin Laden and there is no audio (apparently it was edited by the Pentagon). Again, this is very convenient, and I think you will agree that, even from the side-on angle, the man on the floor does not look like any of the images of the person we know to be the real bin Laden.
But the real smoking gun is to be found in the videos allegedly taken from the Pakistan 'compound' and which provide higher resolution images of a man who appears to be the same person that appeared in a 'bin Laden' video released in 2007.
Here's a CNN report on the new videos.
And here's the footage of the guy sitting on the floor.
I've taken a few screen shots of the 'older' 'new' videos of 'Osama' in his fancy duds, and I'd like to do a little nose, ear and shoulder comparison with images of the real bin Laden:
Here's an image of the real bin Laden:
And here's a screen shot from one of the 'new' videos from the above CNN report:
Is this the same person?
Consider the two noses:
But here's the real smoking gun that, in a sane world, would put an end to all of this CIA psy-ops nonsense: bin Laden's left ear:
Here's the offending ear in a new video that we are told was recovered from the 'compound':
And here it is on the real bin Laden:
As you can see, the real bin Laden has a pronounced deep and flattened helix (the top outer rim of the outer ear). Whereas the 'new' 'bin Laden' has a rather petite ear (quite the envy of all in the psy-ops division of the CIA I'd say).
In fact, both of the real bin Laden's ears have this characteristic. Here's the right one:
It's pretty astounding that the CIA would be so cavalier as to release videos that can so easily be proven to feature someone other than the real Osama bin Laden. Then again, perhaps this is indicative of the contempt with which the CIA and US government consider the general US, and to a lesser extent world, public. I think we can safely assume that the US government and all of those behind the phony 'war on terrorism' (which is clearly a global war of imperial conquest) and the 9/11 attacks believe that there is little if anything that the public will not accept as long as it comes from official sources. So far, the public has done nothing to suggest that this belief is ill-founded.
In short, and once again, you are being sold a monstrous lie. And you can have no doubt that believing lies always carries consequences for the believers. The seriousness of the consequences depends on the seriousness of the lie. Given that the lie that is the official narrative of the 'war on terror' implicates the believers in the murder of 1.5 million Iraqi and Afghan citizens, 3,000 US citizens, the torture of thousands of innocent people and the destruction of civil liberties the world over, they may want to reconsider their position.

The real Osama has round ones, okay don't know how to describe it.. it's like (
and the fake one has eyebrows that looks a bit like: ^
Great article btw.
Just like the ringer in the fake "confession" video, who wrote with his right hand, this fake Osama holds the remote control in his right hand.
Didn't I read somewhere that the real Osama was a southpaw?
Thank you, Joe Quinn. Yet again you have provided detailed info into the crazy lies being told.
Great article, Joe.
If you study the photos released you might find a lot of inconsistencies. For example, his recent beard is not a graying beard (men get older) or in this video (_http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNsBVahA7IM&feature=player_embedded) at 0:38 compare those photos and tell me what is the chance of dying with his mouth opened in the same position.
look at the two ears (left and right) on the person in the last two photos, and then tell me that either one of those ears could ever match the ear on the person in the photo third from bottom.
with every passing day...this hilarious fiasco, dog and pony show, buffoon circus for the gullible, sheep-like robots that ocupy North America, brought to them by our co-opted, lapdog TV, newspapers and magazines.
Thanks, Joe, for your hard work and research!!
I wonder I this blatant disregard to details is actually mistakes on the part of the CIA or done on purpose to be used as misdirection. With all this focus on Osama there is less talk about the forged long hand birth certificate and extreme flooding along the Madrid faultline (which is starting to look alot like the Edgar Cayce model of the future North American continent).
It feels ominous
Have a good look at their beards. In both cases, the upper line of facial hairs varies considerably.
In the pictures of the real bin Laden, the top line of facial hair looks natural, you can see that it is not shaved. In contrast, the upper part of fake bin Laden's beard looks like it was artificially stuck.
I'm not an expert for the obvious reason. But ...
ps. Great job, Joe. Thank you.
Funniest darned thing -- the radiation spewing from Fukushima is another issue that is no longer "newsworthy."
Anyone else remember this?

The PTB love to get us chasing our tails. Was it Pakistani forces or Navy Seals that executed (pun fully intended) the raid? Was the guy really Osama? Did the raid violate international law? etc etc etc
Then, while we're still occupied with that issue, they change gears and release a video of a fake Osama's watching TV, holding the remote control in his right hand. And we counter with wrong hand, wrong nose, wrong ears, wrong eyebrows, wrong beard, wrong lips...
"...We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.''
The PTB keep changing gears, and we keep reacting. They keep racing ahead, while we just keep spinning our wheels.
The PTB have been sniffing what they been cooking for too damn long. I think they have finally scratched their collective brain.
dumbasses!!
Joe, you didn't mention the lips. The real OBL has fuller, rounded lips. The Neo-OBL has very thin lips.
It's been 10 years. Did the possibility of cosmetic surgery ever occur to anyone? You cannot rule that out. If I was the most wanted man in the world I would certianly attempt to alter my appereance somewhat.
With that being said, I still want to see photo's of the corpse and the burial video.
"...Did the possibility of cosmetic surgery ever occur to anyone?..."
Of course! With Osama's millions, he could afford to have a plastic surgeon flown in, to alter his appearance for his video appearances. Also, on the same plane, was an expert colorist from Clairol, to dye his beard jet black.
And let's not forget the mean-spirited nun. You know, the one who repeatedly and mercilessly slapped him on his left wrist, forcing him to become right-handed.
Why didn't I think of those things before. After all, they're all so obvious!
And for all these years I've been under the delusion that the videos were fakes. How could I have been so naive?
Silly me.
"Only his (CIA) hairdresser knows for sure" (looks more like PhotoShop than Clairol to me)
If the nose, ears or lips weren't enough to sway people, and really that should be enough. Hell even there's something about the eyefolds and the Nasal Labia that is making me raise my eyebrow as they seem defined differently.
Look around the center of his forehead in the old photos, there's a faint but visible mole or spot of some kind.
Cut to the new photo and Bang, it's completely Vanished.
Reflections on the official announcement of the death of Osama bin Laden
by Thierry Meyssan *
The official announcement of the death of Osama bin Laden gives rise to all sorts of controversies.
They focus attention on details of the narrative to better hide the strategic decisions of Washington. Thierry Meyssan, the announcement had become essential since bin Laden's men have been incorporated into NATO's operations in Libya and those of the CIA to Syria.
Only the disappearance of their former leader virtual allows them to return the label of "freedom fighters" they enjoyed in Soviet times.
In 2001, Osama bin Laden was seriously ill and under kidney dialysis. He must take care in hospital at least every other day. In the summer of 2001 he was accepted at the American Hospital in Dubai (UAE) [ 1 ].
In early September 2001 he was transferred to a military hospital in Rawalpindi (Pakistan) [ 2 ]. A few days after the attacks, he gave an interview in an undisclosed location to a journalist from Al-Jazeera. In December 2001, his family announced his death and his friends attended his funeral [ 3 ].
However, the U.S. Department of Defense considered that this was a decoy to allow him to escape U.S. justice. Yet, from 2001 to 2011, no credible witness has met Osama bin Laden [ 4 ].
During this period, videotapes and audio attributed to Osama bin Laden have been released, either by the Department of Defense or by the media (mainly Al-Jazeera) or by private intelligence (IntelCenter, SITE Intelligence Group ).
Most of these recordings have been authenticated by the CIA using a methodology unspecified [ 5 ]. However all of these recordings has been invalidated by the community of artificial intelligence experts, including the Dalle Molle Institute is the world standard in forensics [ 6 ].
In other words, Osama bin Laden is most likely dead in December 2001. What we hear today is therefore A MYTH.

is why keep up the illusion?...whats the real pont of using tarred material?...is it because the people behind this are just showing their incompetance or is it that it works because the "sheeple" dont take in details - just headlines! They are all too busy or basically unconscious of what is eally going on around them. I notice how groups of "clique" people smilingly avoid confrontations with things they dont like or dont wish to consider. When a bomb goes off they are the ones most shaken & panicked - after all "what can they do about it"?
It all rather tediously goes on because some of us know what is going on and the rest dont want to know...they go into foetus position and wait for (laughingly) the GOVERNMENT to do something or God!
"...and the rest don't want to know..."
Wow, did that ring a bell with me!
People who have known me for years -- people who respect me and know that I am intelligent, rational and sane, some of whom depend on my computer skills to keep their businesses running, pull back whenever I mention 9/11 or the fake Osama videos or...
They don't berate me; they don't call me a "conspiracy theorist." Instead, they respond with, "I don't want to go there" or words to that effect. They know that the government lies to them, and yet they are uncomfortable with confronting it.
On what I see as a related note, people know that the economy is in the tank, and yet they continue to buy HDTVs and iPhones and designer clothing. On credit, of course.
Terms like "sheeple" and "dumbed-down" don't explain it to my satisfaction. They know that they live in a fantasy world, they know about high unemployment and housing repossessions, and yet they continue with their twiddle-dee-dee attitude.
Does cognitive dissidence account for it? What is going on in their heads?
More to the point, how do we reach them?
Because "the illusion" is what holds the everything together. Guy Debord was the most part right about all that gear countless decades ago....

One problem is though: if "the spectacle" falls apart - you and I do too. We're as much dependent on it as everyone else, and loosening oneself from the dominant culture without throwing the baby out with the bathwater is a delicate ongoing process.
I'd talked myself blue in the face warning people about mobile phones by about 1995, blue in the face again re: 911 about three months after the event. I'm buggered if I'm going to waste too much breath on this Bin Laden nonsense.
The silent majority have had all the proof they could possibly want about 911, they're just not interested. They like being lied to, it justifies their own bullshit existence which they don't wish to part from.
In comparing both pictures it appears they are not the same person.
Sometimes cloning doesn't always work out perfect or maybe the guy just had some real serious plastic surgery done.
It's all a big shell game anyway. Don't know who to believe anymore and I'm really tired of the lies and games period.
I'm ready to go back to the one source and call this planet and it's inhabitants quits.
I too have warned fellow humans until I am blue in the face. I have been labled nuts, mad, crazy, paranoid (and no I don't go around talking to myself or wearing foil hats).
It doesn't matter.
You can lead a horse (or dog) to water but you cannot make them drink and there in lies the problem.
People are very stubborn. You can try and warn them they are being played for fools but between having a closed mind and arrogant, proud heart, most will not or now (due to mind conditioning tech) cannot listen.
Laura and Joe's book, 911 The Ultimate Truth as well as Jim Marrs speculations on The Three Towers has clearly laid out this was a false flag operation (as was probably Pearl Harbor) to manipulate the people into yet more war and murder.
Thre is a saying, "War is terrorism with a bigger budget" that is applicable here.
Osama was used simply another tool in the NWO's agenda to get the people to hand over more of their freedoms willingly.
Shakes head and rolls eyes.
Simply tired of the entire game and hope next time around I am not recycled.
I feel like Dorothy in the Wizard of OZ where she clicks her heels three times and says "There is no place like home".
And Earth, is OZ, the one source some call God or the grand whole is home.
But all that thing: "You're extreme!", "You're a conspiracy theorist!" etc, is never even sincere, they don't even mean it. It's just an excuse, just a way of saying: "Look, shuddup willya, I'm in the middle of a beautiful dream where you can buy jeans at Primark for a tenner, and you're spoiling it for me."
Just an observation, old osamas turbin has been tied well. the fake osamas turban just dont look right it look more like a hat/cap and sits higher on the head. I myself am a sikh and wear a turban, and every its tied the sameway in the same position.
Great article Joe.
Have you checked the hands?
The real Bin Laden had relatively short fingers, the fingers in these videos are longer, they're almost a musician's fingers. His thumbs are different, the real bin laden has the top part of his thumb approx. 63% of the lower part, whereas the guy holding the remote in the latest video has a thumb where top part is 80% the size of the lower part.
Try asking the clerk at the Department of Motor Vehicles to photograph your face at the same angle as in the recent "Osama video" and put it on your driver's license ID card.
The two nose pictures look similar enough to me. You have to realise you're comparing two photos with very different lighting. Different lighting can make things look very different, but even so, the two nose pictures look quite alike, at least to my pedantic eyes.
The ears on the other hand are another matter.
There are at least two fake bin Ladens that have been presented for public consumption by the psy-ops teams. Millions, and perhaps billions, of our tax dollars have been devoted to nurturing and fomenting a narrative about bin Laden that works to the advantage of the corporate sector, including the security industries and the Mil/Indust Complex.
I'm fully amazed at how the corporate media has shameless promoted the government narrative about OBL. So much of it is clearly false.
Nose, lips, ears, turban, lefthandedness, fingers, all support video person NOT OBL.
Evidence of prior death of OBL, strong.
Track record US propaganda, not credible.
Killing, disfigurement and disposal of body, reeks of cover up.
Likelihood that OBL masterminded 9/11 attacks, miniscule.
Motivation, boost flagging support. Very common practice in US.
The only thing that Obama has going for him here is the gullibility and blind faith of his supporters.
Let us not forget that Osama Bin Laden was NEVER ON THE FBI's most wanted list either! He immediately denied any involvement in 911 and therefore was no more than a Zionist invented patsy specifically made for the purpose of giving the US imperial license to attack anyone they wish.
The controlled demolitions of 911 still have not bee investigated; the perpetrators have not been brought to justice; the names of the traders of PUT options have not been released; the dancing Israeli's are free and the infamous 19 terrorist hijackers contain at least 8 or 9 people who are STILL ALIVE IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
So of course, the Bin laden fantasy is now officially laid to rest, but he never had anything to do with 911. SOoooo.... the US government is currently drafting legislation creating a PERMANENT STATE OF WAR.

See, now that the boogeyman is officially 'dead', they must enshrine their imperial intentions into law. Failing that they must create another boogeymen or pull off another 911. And speaking of false flags, coincidentally, Larry Silverstein, the former lessee of the WTC, who profited billions off the demolitions of 911, now owns the former SEARS TOWER in Chicago, where Rahm Emanuel, the dual national Zionist terrorist now resides as mayor. One wonders if Slick Larry has insured that skyscraper against nuclear detonations.
Dots...connect!
...and the bartender asks, "What can I get you?"
"An 'Osama.'"
"An 'Osama?' Never heard of it. What is it?"
"A single shot and a splash of water."
And, yes, I agree with the evidence that Osama died in mid-December, 2001. In the so-called "confession" video and all of the ones that followed, a ringer was used.
One might say that the one in the compound raid was a dead ringer.
bin Laden had kidney failure and had to undergo periodic dialysis.
If he never left the house, he had to own his own machine and a supplier of filters etc.
Here is a photo of a dialysis machine. [Link]None of the pictures from the house show such a machine. If it was there, they would have taken a picture.
I don't know who they shot and dumped in the sea, but it was not Osama bin Laden. (It was probably one of the actors who appeared in the CIA/Mossad tapes.
(If enough people start pointing this out, I expect more photos to be released, this time with a dialysis machine photoshopped into the image. Watch for it.)
Yep, there should have been a dialysis machine there in the compound, and there wasn't one.
One might say that it was a piss-poor operation.
Yes, laugh at them. Ridicule them. Poke fun at them. As John Lennon said, "...they don't know how to handle humor."
Or am I just beating a dead Arabian stallion?
Clearly a different character altogether....
What strikes me is why it such a sloppy a fake job?
When you clearly have access to anything Holllywood could muster (best 3D graphics, make up, audio manipulation tools), why just get a guy that has some resemblance (just smaller, porkier and more dopey looking) and dress him up?
I'd be going really hi-tech with this all this if I REALLY wanted to convince the whole world....
But lets assume that it's not a sloppy job.. not an oversight at all. To me, it's much more credible that it's not.
Could it be an elaborate double manipulation to separate the sheep from the goats? The sheep aren't really the problem here. The sheep will go and do whatever is asked when required to. It's the goats - everyone who has ever commented on this site for instance might be identifiable as a goat. The internet is a great tool to document this. The goats are those unruly, slightly more switched on minority that potentially will pose a problem. A problem for what?
Now this is not a conspiracy, I'm just taking a direction of thought from the basis that all this very questionable material being released is not just the making of a bunch of idiots who just happen to be running things. There is an intent behind it.
If you've ever read Orwell's 1984, you would have noticed the same double manipulation on Winston, who after being identified by O'Brien as a Party threat was given a series of credible information (much 'accidentally') about the Party's tactics and history of it's control. O'Brien, pretended to be secretly opposing the Party - so in this case he was the lion dressed in goat's clothing if you get the analogy.
O'Brien's real job was not to identify the goats but to "cure" them. Now, I'm not saying that's the case necessarily here either. All I can really suggest is it points to the compiling of a watch-list and if you imagine that is feasible, then what do you imagine it is intended for? I don't know myself - I guess I can only pose that question...
You could probably "dress up" OBAMA for a better Osamanible "hidden in plain sight" result!
