TUBULARSOCK’S BIG BANG THEORY
Ever the optimist, Tubularsock was just thinking of the future of the United States’ leadership and insanity. It is rather nice to have both of these concepts wrapped up in one package. And then we can tie it in a bow of annihilation and the package is complete. Just think, Christmas early. Excited yet?
TRUMP-A-SCARE
It’s not that Tubularsock expects a great realization from the brain-dead Democraps. Many are still convincing themselves that Bozo-With-Black-Face has done so well and could have done even better if the Republicants hadn’t blocked him at every turn.
Just how much better could bailing out Wall Street, Handing Health Care over to Corporate Profit and Droning all those brown men, women and children have gone?
Bozo-With-Black-Face bent over ever time the White Corporate Elite called for trade treaties that gutted the middle class and wasted the poor. And then even went as far as reprimanding the Black youth in 2008 with his famous “brothers should pull up their pants”! Talking about the Black calling the kettle Black ……….
But now we are about to step into a “new” Democrap for President. Just how many turds constitutes a flotilla?
It really is depressing for Tubularsock to even think how stupid the population of the U.S. really happens to be and all generated by FEAR, of course.
“Oh my, I don’t like Hillary BUT WE CAN’T LET TRUMP WIN!”, is the rallying cry.
REALLY?
Is this what it’s all about? And did this all become this way just by chance?
The creepier and crazier Trump becomes the higher the FEAR LEVEL. Tubularsock would suggest that Homeland Security should re-instate those Threat-Level-Warnings.
You remember, “The Homeland Security Advisory System that morphed into The National Terrorism Advisory System in 2011 while the press always called it THE TERROR ALERT LEVEL.
Well come to find out a new system has been created and Tubularsock discovered this updated HILLARYLAND SECURITY system version. This system was leaked with the DNC email hack and Tubularsock is bringing it to the light of day. The Democraps use the system to control their message when necessary and to scare the American public when necessary. Say ……….. like November?
Now remember, this is a COLORED CODED system so as to shift to RACIST MODE when necessary. The reason should be obvious and shows just how handy the updated system could be for this orchestrated current crisis.
Remember America ……… if you’re not scared THEY can’t control you. So you stay scared. That is why Trump was invented!
SO THAT’S WHAT’S GOIN’ DOWN?
Killing PEOPLE has become redundant. It almost has come down to the fact that if you haven’t been killed you really don’t fit into the society. Somehow you are a misfit because you haven’t been slaughtered by some “loan-wolf-professed-terrorist” that is of a browned skin persuasion. Or even by a broken-home-child with an AK-47 that was treated badly by bullies that is of a white skin persuasion.
Of course not that skin color has anything to do with it but white skin just makes you act like a “non-terrorist”. By current definition.
Well, that is only the appearance that is given by the maimed-streamed-media. It is what sells papers, gains viewers or collect ears for radio talk shows. All in the name of being informed with the regular message that TIDE™ makes your clothes WHITER and so does CLORAX™!
So when the tragedy in Nice, France ended up killing 84 or so men, women and children at the Bastille Day celebration the Western Press went bat-shit over EVERY horrifying detail. Background stories on the victims, interviews with the people at the event and a complete step by step description of the perpetrator.
The New York Times, LATimes, Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal all had major front page detailed coverage of the Nice tragedy. And there is no denying the fact that it was worthy of attention and discussion and an outpouring of grief. After all they were innocents being targeted.
BUT just five days later on July 19th a U.S. coalition airstrike in Syria killed more than 60 civilians according to The Telegraph (7/19/16) and possibility up to 100 according to The Intercept (7/19/16).
But in this case the U.S. coalition airstrike which were reported as “an accident” was denied by the Pentagon saying they were investigating the incident.
“We are aware of reports alleging civilian casualties in the area,” U.S. Marine Maj. Adrian J.T. Rankine-Galloway, a Pentagon spokesperson, said . . . “If the information supporting the allegation is determined to be credible, we will then determine the next appropriate step,” the spokesperson added. “We take all measures during the targeting process to avoid or minimize civilian casualties or collateral damage and to comply with the principles of the Law of Armed Conflict.” The Intercept (7/19/16)
And we can all be assured what “. . . we will then determine the next appropriate step . . .” means. Usually, classify it Top Secret to protect National Security!
The story of these innocent civilians were not headline news in The New York Times or The LA Times and were hardly mentioned. While The Wall Street Journal and Washington Post only gave a short front page intro then moving the story details back to A-16 and A-15 respectively. In truth, just burying the story as best they could. Adam Johnson, The 4th Media (7/22/16)
Now Syria IS a war zone and therefore civilians being killed are just expected so no need to cover “these people”, know what Tubularsock means? And hell, is it even news anyway?
BUT so is Nice! NICE IS A WAR ZONE TOO! If you follow the logic of George War Bush and Obomber. The War on Terror is a World-Wide-War where the United States can bomb, drone, kill, detain, torture, kidnap, perform signature strikes, and assassinate in order to preserve LAW AND ORDER and protect the interests of the United States!
Just how dare some terrorist interloper take the lead from the killing machine that is America! Where in the hell does one of those “tanned-skinned” Tunisian’s get off killing innocent people!
THAT IS THE JOB OF THE UNITED STATES! Fucking uppity Tunisian!
REDACTED LIBRARY: THE OBAMA LEGACY
Now here’s a question for you and Tubularsock really wants you to set aside your cocktail, your hash-pipe, your straw&coke ……. and sure Tubularsock knows, that’s for breakfast ……. and think about ahhhh. . . . .
Let Tubularsock start here.
Why would you build a library for someone who never even finished a book about a goat on 9/11?
Well it already has been done, as you know, for the TORTURE PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH. In Dallas, TX. And speaking of luck it is the 13th Presidential Library administered by the National Archives and Records Administration. See: https://tubularsock.com/2014/04/09/art-by-any-other-name/ and https://tubularsock.com/2014/04/28/question-bush/
And make sure you catch the George W. Bush Presidential Center’s GIFT STORE
where you can buy gifts like the “Presidential Baseball Bat for $129.98 or maybe you’d prefer the “Presidential Stetson Hat” for $249.98 or could you top “The Presidential Sketchbook at only $49.98?
The one gift so many remember George pushing for as the TORTURE PRESIDENT isn’t even on sale. And that is the Presidential Water-board with directions and detainees.
Now all of this for this sad, worthless, little man, the Shrub. A true sack of shit who should be in jail for war crimes he has committed.
And fucking imbeciles actually visit this place …… a DisneyLand in Texas that is one step below the Texan Chainsaw Massacre!
DADDY CIA BUSH has his Presidential Library just outside of Houston in College Station, TX.
And just to complete the picture Barbara Bush has a Harris County branch library named after her in Springs, TX. There is nothing in the library about her but who gives a shit anyway?
But this was all a quick back story because the question that really needs to be considered is why have a library with all the books and papers so redacted that the pages are just black.
The Obummer Administration is in the process of planning the library for the most NON-Transparent secretive President in the history of the United States ….. THE DRONE PRESIDENT BARACK H. OBAMA LIBRARY in Chicago, IL.
And here is the trick. In order for a President to have a library a President has to create a FOUNDATION.
So abracadabra ………
And what’s it goal for existence except for the reason of taking in tax free money from world-wide corporate sponsors and foreign countries in order to buy influence?
Well here you go “inspired citizen”:
So it represents a “movement” that kills people from the sky without warning or due process, or even knowledge of who they are or what they’ve done?
So it represents a “movement” that keeps people locked away in Guantanamo Prison-Torture Camp for decades, even people who have been proven that they are guilty of nothing but won’t be released?
So it represents a “movement” that attacks other sovereign nations with no-pretext other than we just don’t like them and lecture them about being a nation of laws?
So it represents a “movement” that allows the banks to rob, swindle, and cheat and be bailed out with the citizens money only to set them up to do it again with no one being held responsible.
So it represents a “movement” that condone torture and inhumane treatment of people without NO ACCOUNTABILITY.
So it represents a “movement” that creates a health system based on insurance and care providers PROFITS rather than health care.
So it represents a “movement” that has set up a system attacking the Bill of Rights and the Constitution and the freedom of the citizen with draconian spy programs and detention without trial possibilities in the name of National Security.
So it represents a “movement” that . . .
Please pass the BULL SHIT. Thank you.
Now as usual everybody and their brother wanted Obummer’s Library in their neighborhood. The University of Chicago was competing with the University of Illinois in Chicago, Columbia University in New York, and the University of Hawaii in Honolulu to host the Obummer Library.
But The University of Chicago won out and with the help of that little sleazeball Mayor Rahm Emanuel (remember Obommer’s former chief of staff) the hurdles that were in the way of building Obummers Library on park land was settled by having the District Park Board vote to change the law that protect public parks to allow Obummer to acquire 20 acres of City park land to build his library.
Sleazeball Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Tubularsock.
But the Friends of the Parks who said they would challenge the City in court over the City violating the state’s public trust doctrine, which forbids private development on “property recovered from the waters of Lake Michigan.” In other words: landfill. That land under the terms of the trust must be “preserved as a natural resource and open space equally available to Illinois citizens.”
Then State lawmakers changed the state law to specifically permit presidential libraries on park land provided the public still has access. And Governor Bruce Rauner signed it into law against the wishes of the FOTP.
In fact, “the new law was filed around 7 p.m. April 22, and by midday April 23 it had zipped through both houses of the State Legislature and was sent to Gov. Bruce Rauner, who signed it”. (Greg Hinz, Crain’s Chicago Business, 4/25/15)
According to FOTP, House Bill 373 “basically authorizes the City to run a mall up and down the Lake so long as they call it a museum.” (Deanna Isaacs, The Reader, 5/1/15)
But funny thing, the Friends of the Parks president Cassandra Francis abruptly left her job. She had been a big supporter of protecting the Lake Michigan shoreline and parks in general and found herself on the opposite side of the power structure she’d previously been part of and stepped down. All she said was that it was a good time to “move on”.
“Francis insists she left under her own power but, well, sometimes a wise woman doesn’t wait around for the hanging party to arrive.” (Greg Hinz, Crain’s Chicago Business, 4/25/15)
But here is the silver lining, at least for Tubularsock the muralist ……..
Tubularsock is sending his mural idea for the entrance of the new Obummer Presidential Redacted Library.
And Tubularsock has set his heart on winning the entry mural competition ……… if they have one. STAND BACK, IT SAYS IT ALL AMERIKKKA.
THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG: a bin Laden story.
Now everyone knows when it comes to fowl stories Tubularsock is on top of his game. Some even go as far as to say that Tubularsock is for the birds. Whatever!
Tubularsock just loves a good story and as luck would have it it is, THE SAME OLD STORY.
So let’s start at the beginning.
Mohammed bin Laden and his tenth wife Hamida al-Attas fucked and had little Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden.(an interesting fun fact is that Bin Laden’s name was as long as his 6’ 4” body when he became an adult. Could that have been some kind of sign?)
Osama’s dad had 58 children from 22 wives but as Sharia Law requires he only had four wives at a time. Damn rules!
Now like any good Moslem dad Mohammed divorced Hamida soon after Osama was born. ( Which may or may not tell us something about what Bin Laden was like as a baby.)
And Bin Laden’s mother then married a man named Muhammad al-Attas, who worked at the bin Laden company. (Sure, Tubularsock wonders just how many of the 22 wives ended up with bin Laden company employees. Just one big happy family. Just imagine the Christmas party, oops.)
Ok. Let’s fast forward ……… is this fun or what?
There is enough agreement that Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden was born. In fact Tubularsock has not seen any documentation to date to question that this did not occur.
The problem? How did, when did, and who did die and was it bin Laden at all. There’s the rub!
So what is clear is bin Laden was born from there on, a story but “facts” ….. NOT SO MUCH!
It has been reported that Osama was 6’4” or maybe 6’6” tall. Or maybe less. It occurred to Tubularsock that math and measurement was an early achievement of the Arab World but no one even thought about getting out a measuring rod?
Remember The Navy Seals AFTER THE SUPPOSED KILLING of Bin in his bedroom laid down beside his crumpled bloody body to judge how tall he was ….. wow, those Navy Seals are kinky fuckers and none-too bright.
With all the equipment that they carry no one thought a measuring tape could be handy? Very poor planning if you ask Tubularsock. (you may have noticed no one has asked Tubularsock)
And after the unarmed old man in his bathrobe is blown apart by massive gun fire THEN they start to wonder if it was Bin or not? (side note to self: don’t hang out with Navy Seal bat-shit-nut cases)
In terms of personality, bin Laden was described as a soft-spoken, mild mannered, left handed man who used a cane.
Because Bin never exhibited any Fred Astaire moves it was assumed the cane was for health reasons. His bodyguard CONTENDED Soviet chemical weapons were to blame for his malady but reporters SPECULATED that kidney disease was the cause.
The CIA BELIEVED that bin Laden had Marfan syndrome or kidney disease.(Wright, Lawrence. The Looming Towern. New York: Vintage, 2006.)
The CIA THOUGHT that the possibility of kidney disease was credible. They concluded that bin Laden did not need dialysis, but does suffer from kidney stones.(Robert Windrem. “CIA is looking for a few good doctors.” NBC News, Dec. 29, 2004.)
On July 1, 2002, Time Magazine reported “. . . that physicians who analyzed photos of bin Laden determined that he PROBABLY suffers from secondary osteoporosis, which is often related to diabetes and kidney trouble”. (“Bin Laden Alive as of Late December”, Reuters; Sun Jun 30, 2002.)
Are you getting the picture? CONTENDED, SPECULATED, BELIEVED, THOUGHT, PROBABLY these are descriptive words for we don’t know shit about bin Laden’s true health condition.
Now David Ray Griffin, who Tubularsock has very high regard for concluded that Osama bin Laden died in late 2001 or 2002. But when you look closely at Griffin’s claims his evidence is based on rather weak information, if you ask Tubularsock. (you may have noticed no one has asked Tubularsock)
David Ray Griffin states the following five things from his article “Osama Bin Laden: Dead or Alive?” to show that Bin Laden is dead:
“1. The CIA up until mid-December 13, 2001, had regularly been intercepting messages between bin Laden and his people. At that time, however, the messages suddenly stopped, and the CIA has never again intercepted a message. (maybe he figured out he was being listened to?)
2. On December 26, 2001, a leading Pakistani newspaper published a story reporting that bin Laden had died in mid-December. ( oh! a leading Pakistani newspaper, then it must be true)
3. Osama bin Laden had kidney disease. He had been treated for it in the American Hospital in Dubai in July 2001, at which time he REPORTEDLY ordered two dialysis machines to take home. (see below)
4. In July of 2002, CNN reported that bin Laden’s bodyguards had been captured in February of that year, adding: “Sources believe that if the bodyguards were captured away from bin Laden, it is likely the most-wanted man in the world is dead.” (maybe they were on break)
5. The United States has since 2001 offered a $25 million reward for any information leading to the capture or killing of bin Laden. But this reward offer has produced no such information.” (until now)
But when you look at all five of these examples and follow them out they are all based on conjecture NOT HARD FACTS. Even Number 3, the Dubai hospital information can be called into question if you look at it.
The one reported “fact” that bin Laden was in the American Hospital in Dubai in July 2001 and according to CBS News “. . . was being given kidney dialysis treatment in a hospital in Pakistan . . . the night before the 9/11 attacks” was first reported by the French newspaper Le Figaro.
The story was drawn from a leak from French intelligence (according to The Guardian) and not only provided bin Laden’s hospital visit but also the story that the CIA Bureau Chief “. . . was seen in the lift, on his way to see Bin Laden, and later, it is alleged, boasted to friends about his contact. He was recalled to Washington soon afterwards”.
The hospital “emphatically” denied that bin Laden was admitted to the hospital and the CIA denied that their bureau chief visited. Oh gosh, just who can one believe?
And then there is the kidney dialysis treatment itself.
CNN reporting on Pakistan’s president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, speculation that bin Laden had likely died of kidney failure was then supported by CNN’s medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta who proceeded to evaluate A VIDEO with some earlier photos of bin Laden and concluded “. . . that he appeared to be in the last stages of kidney failure”.
From this Tubularsock would not go on record that bin Laden died in 2001 or in 2014 either. But what is clear is that whatever story the United States Government comes up with will be and is A LIE. That is the only FACT Tubularsock can draw from all of this bullshit.
Oh, but there’s more ……. wouldn’t you know.
According to Salon, in the article, The Many Deaths of Osama bin Laden on May 1, 2011 Justin Elliott writes:
“The false reports of Osama bin Laden’s death began almost immediately after Sept. 11, 2001, and persisted at a rate of at least once or twice a year, every year. The reports — generated by (usually anonymous) statements by American officials and a dizzying array of foreign sources — often generated international headlines.
Here’s a sampling:
July, 2002 FBI counterterrorism chief Dale Watson tells a law enforcement conference of bin Laden: “I personally think he is probably not with us anymore, but I have no evidence to support that.”
August,2002 Popular conspiracy-mongering radio host Alex Jones announces, citing high-level Bush administration sources, “that bin Laden died of natural causes and that his family has given the body to the CIA.” Jones added, “they’re gonna roll him out right before the election, he’s on ice right now.”
May, 2003 French military analyst announces that bin Laden was killed in an American air raid in Tora Bora shortly after the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.
February, 2004 Iranian Radio reports that bin Laden was captured in the Afghan-Pakistan border area “a long time ago” — but the official announcement was delayed because “Bush is intending to use it for propaganda maneuvering in the presidential election.”
April, 2002 The Israeli press picks up an account from a radical Muslim London newspaper: “We now report that the al-Qaeda organization has announced the death of Osama Bin Laden.”
September, 2006 French intel document says that Saudis believe bin Laden had died of typhoid in Pakistan.
June, 2008 Citing two unnamed officials, Time magazine reports that a recent CIA study has concluded bin Laden has long-term kidney disease and “may only have months to live.”
April, 2009 Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari tells the media that his country’s intel services “obviously feel that [bin Laden] does not exist anymore”’
But even here Justin Elliott shows bias by starting off his report with “The false reports of Osama bin Laden’s death . . .”
An interesting link that Tubularsock found in these travels to find bin Laden is:
http://www.newsmine.org/content.php?ol=9-11/binladen/death/fbi-%20says-bin-laden-probably-dead.txt
You will discover here that Osama bin Laden has spent more time dead than living. Which in itself is an amazing feat for this amazing man.
So all the attack toward Seymour Hersh and his article on the re-death of bin Laden on May 11, 2011 is just another bin Laden death. The only thing it lacks is the Dairy Queen sightings with Elvis.
But it could be the true death of bin Laden or it could just as easily NOT be his final death.
So it might be helpful for a quick “fill in the blanks” historically for you and this little video made by Tubularsock in 2007 may help you recall what all this Afghanistan business was all about.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZFn407MpZc
If you ask Tubularsock ……. I LIKE BIN LADEN AND ALWAYS DID. (BUT NOBODY ASK TUBULARSOCK)
Tubularsock was sitting counting just how many concussion grenades he had put under his pillow last night before he went to bed. You can never be over prepared.
Tubularsock prefers the MK3 offensive grenade designed to produce casualties during close combat while minimizing danger to friendly personnel. Friendly personnel of course being Tubularsock.
The MK3 is very handy for demolition tasks in enclosed areas and very effective against enemy soldiers located in bunkers, buildings, and fortified areas. The only factors present on May 2, 2011 in bin Laden’s compound were two steel doors to blow out and the death of an old man in his bathrobe.
When the Navy Seals dropped by Black Hawk Helicopters into Osama bin Laden’s compound on May 2, 2011 the lights of Abbottabad had been shut off and the ISI guards of the compound were taken off their watch and the Pakistani military was on stand-down and the Seals knew that they would have to blow out the heavy steel doors on the first and second floors of the stairwell and they knew when they reached the third floor they had to enter the second door on the right.
As the two Navy Seals entered the room bin Laden retreated into the bedroom and he was followed and shot to pieces in his bathrobe. He was an old invalid who was just gunned down by two heavily armed assassins from the United States Navy Seals.
These Seals were not brave men, not heroic men, not even decent men. They were just assassins who killed people in cold blood. The fact that bin Laden was old and sick and in his bathrobe in his bedroom when he was gunned down, well ……… it’s called murder.
Rob O’Neill always wanted to be a little chicken-shit sniper and got himself into the Seals. He is best known for his claims that he made in November, 2014 that he was the murderer that fired the head shots that killed the unarmed, bathrobe wearing, sick old man in his bedroom Osama bin Laden on May 2, 2011.
Matt Bissonnette in his book No Easy Day documented his participation in the raid. He does not identify the man who fired the fatal shots at Bin Laden, referring to him as simply the “Point Man”. Bisonnette himself admits to firing his weapon at Bin Laden after the fatal shots were fired by the “Point Man” when Bin Laden was already “In his death throes”. Or in other words shooting the unarmed, bathrobe wearing, sick old man in his bedroom as he was “In his death throes”!
Think on this for just one minute ….. two assassins kill a sick, old, unarmed man in his bathrobe in his bedroom.
After these two embarrassing Navy Seals exposed their job description Rear Admiral Brian Losey and Force Master Chief Michael Magaraci issued a public statement, saying:
“A critical tenet of our (The Navy Seals) ethos is “I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions.”
And now you see why!
But just how could there not be a Hollywood film about this horrid, embarrassing event?
And of course the title: The Sick Old Unarmed Man Murdered In His Bedroom.
Oh sorry, Tubularsock forgot. That was the working title the final commercial title was
ZERO DARK THIRTY!
And just how exciting was it …… daring, dangerous, VICTORIOUS!
Oh sure, there was one small, tiny, little problem …… it was ALL a lie.
Funny how that works but it was draped in the fucking American flag and it inspired 12 year old boys to become big “brave” men and go off to kill. Oh sure, our society has become sick enough now that even some girls want to participate.
Now that would be enough if it wasn’t for Seymour Hersh and his article published in the London Review of Books. http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n10/seymour-m-hersh/the-killing-of-osama-bin-laden
Come to find out EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW ABOUT OSAMA BIN LADEN’S DEATH WAS A …….. FABRICATION.
Oh, hell yeah! Tubularsock and you, we already knew that but Hersh fills in the blanks.
And here’s the cliff note version:
The CIA followed the secret currieries, especially one, that over time lead them to the
Abbottabad compound. Not true.
Using TORTURE the information attained lead them to the Abbottabad compound. Not true.
They discovered a “treasure-trove of al Qaida active information” in the compound. Not true.
They buried bin Laden at sea. Not true.
They weren’t sure if bin Laden was in the compound. Not true.
The operation was risky. Not true.
There was a “fire-fight” that the Navy Seal encounter and had to fight their way into the compound. Not true.
One of Osama’s wives stood in front of him as the Navy Seals entered the room. Not true.
The Pakistani Government was not informed beforehand of the attack. Not true.
Saudi Arabia, had been financing bin Laden’s upkeep since his seizure by Pakistan in 2006. TRUE!
Now get this straight …… Saudi Arabia and Pakistan were OUR close allies in the WAR ON TERROR. See anything wrong with this picture?
Osama bin Laden had been in the custody of the Pakistani Government since 2006 and Saudi Arabia was supporting bin Laden’s upkeep. EIGHT YEARS!
“ A former senior Pakistani intelligence officer betrayed this secret and informed the U.S. in return for much of the $25 million reward offered by the US.” TRUE! (Seymour Hersh)
“ At the Abbottabad compound ISI guards were posted around the clock to keep watch over bin Laden and his wives and children. They were under orders to leave as soon as they heard the rotors of the US helicopters.” TRUE! (Seymour Hersh)
“ Pakistan’s army and air defense command would not track or engage with the US helicopters used on the mission.” TRUE! (Seymour Hersh)
Now all of this is just a quick glimpse into the lie that is America. And Tubularsock encourages you to read Hersh’s description of what transpired with the bin Laden murder.
As you get into the details it will remind you of the Uncle Remus story of the Tar Baby.
You remember that the Tar-Baby is a doll made of tar and turpentine used to entrap Br’er Rabbit. The more that Br’er Rabbit fights the Tar-Baby, the more entangled he becomes.
In modern usage, “tar baby” refers to any “sticky situation” that is only aggravated by additional involvement in it. And Obama’s involvement in the Osama bin Laden murder fits Br’er Rabbit’s problems to a T!
IF IT WASN’T SO SAD IT WOULD BE FUNNY.
Tubularsock
