the Multiple Lives and Deaths of CIA Asset Bin Laden

Bin Laden Is Dead…Long Live Bin Laden!  That’s what we all should be shouting today. After all, ‘Bin Laden’ has died several times already, and there have clearly been several ‘Bin Ladens’ over the past 10 years:

So why should the back-room boys in Washington dig him back up now and kill him off, for good this time it seems? Bin Laden (and the alleged hunt for him) was used to justify the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, but those missions have now been ‘accomplished’ in the sense that those two nations are now US client states (coincidentally, or not, May 1st was the anniversary of Dubya’s “Mission Accomplished” speech in 2003). A new stage in the American Imperial War of Terror is in the offing and the ‘death’ of Bin Laden provides two important ingredients for that next stage:

A rallying of patriotism back home and among Right Wing Authoritarians the world over and public support for continued military action

A plausible reason to re-deploy troops and other resources from Iraq and Afghanistan to future theaters of colonial war

In short, it’s all about perception and manufacturing ‘reality’ by molding public perception. The problem being that those who presume to do the ‘reality creating’ are a cabal of decidedly psychopathic individuals with the collective conscience of a snake.
