The Strange Saga of Osama and Obama
By Vernon Roken
They are the two men who
changed the course of the history of the United States and the world in the new
millennium: one by his capacity for evil, the other by his incapacity to
comprehend it. The saga of Osama and Obama begins at the dawn of the 21st
century.
In September of 2001,
Osama bin Laden slaughtered thousands of Americans in New York, Washington, and
in the skies, undermining the nation's sense of security. The Twin Towers were
a symbol of the soaring power of the unchallenged United States following the
collapse of the Soviet Union.
Osama didn't have to
leave his Afghan hideaway to accomplish his "feat." He sent no
clunky missiles in an effort to dent the impenetrable power of fortress America
as Saddam Hussein had attempted with his Scuds against U.S. troops during the
Gulf War. He relied on a small group of Muslim fanatics with box cutters
and the schedules of U.S. airlines servicing a booming economy.
In response to bin
Laden’s outrage, then President George W. Bush launched the War on Terror.
In 2008, Americans chose Barack Hussein Obama to be their first post-9/11
elected president. That his surname, Obama, rhymed with Osama and had the
unusual names “Barack Hussein" attached to it is only a
coincidence. The resemblance, however, was not lost on the future
president when he lunched with a political consultant in late September of
2001. Before them was a newspaper with Osama bin Laden's photo.
"Hell of a thing isn't it?" remarked the consultant. "Really
bad luck. You can't change your name, of course. Voters are
suspicious of that kind of thing."
Voters seemed to be more
suspicious of Obama’s association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whom the Wall
Street Journal called a "passionate proponent of the
view of America as the world's leading agent of evil and injustice,” than his
Muslim roots. The association with fiery preacher and his friendship with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers did not deter the American
people.
Perhaps Barack
Hussein Obama’s amazing rise was the result of some deep wound in the American
psyche after such a direct hit on its pride that still smarted seven years
later.
On May 2, 2011, Obama
killed Osama, or at least he took responsibility for the action, while watching
it on closed-circuit deep in the heavily-fortified White House Situation Room
-- but his incapacity to call out evil during his presidency weakened
America's power in the world and gave birth to an even more malicious Al-Qaeda
offspring -- the Islamic State.
“Like most children of
divorced parents, he felt a loss, for he was no longer as intimately involved
with his father’s family… he keenly felt his lack of status, genuinely
suffering from his father’s lack of personal love and care.” These words
were written by Omar bin Laden, one of
Osama’s 20 sons, regarding his father's relationship with his grandfather, but
they could have easily been written about Barack Obama, whose autobiography,
titled Dreams
from My Father, aptly describes the importance of his Kenyan progenitor's
absence. Both men’s Muslim fathers died prematurely: Osama’s in a
plane crash at age 59, Obama’s in a car accident at age 46, thus precluding any
reconciliation with their feelings of abandonment.
Osama bin Laden’s father
was fantastically rich and had many wives. Since Osama was not among the first
born among 50 sons, he received little attention from the busy patriarch before
he died. He was raised by a stepfather. Unlike his brothers, who studied
abroad, Osama stayed in Saudi Arabia and thus remained “the most provincial of the bin-Laden boys.”
Barack Obama was raised
in multicultural Hawaii and in Indonesia, the world’s largest
Muslim nation. It was with Obama’s Indonesian stepfather that the future
president first came in contact with Islam, at the time in Indonesia, a much
more tolerant version than that of Osama’s Saudi Arabia.
Bin Laden, living in the
birthplace of Islam, found meaning in its message and gravitated towards the
works of Sayid Qutub, “widely considered the father of contemporary jihadist
thought.”
Four and a half years
younger than Osama, Barack Obama was drawn to the writings of Malcom X of the
Nation of Islam, a black nationalist group that prepared for a race war in
America and believed that Christianity was the religion of slavers.
Malcolm eventually left the NOI for the more traditional Sunni form of
the religion and made the Hadj to Mecca. Obama wrote:
If Malcolm X's discovery toward the end of his life, that
some whites might live beside him as brothers in Islam, seemed to offer some
hope of eventual reconciliation, that hope appeared in a distant future, in a
far-off land. In the meantime, I looked to see where the people would
come from who were willing to work toward this future and populate this new
world.
That search led Obama to
a hybrid multicultural and polyreligious concept of world harmony that included
an idyllic image of Islam based on his formative years in Indonesia and his
emotional attachment to his Muslim forbears. For his “vision,” the president won the Nobel Peace
Prize shortly after taking office and spent the next eight years trying to
create it. He failed miserably, further undermining the post-World War
II order that Osama Bin Laden’s atrocity had shaken.
The youthful quests of
these two highly educated, self-confident men
led them to two opposing views of Islam. Bin-Laden's followed the literal
words of the Quran: only all-out war on the unbelievers would bring the peace
of Islam to the world. For Obama, Islam was a religion of peace.
Later it became his "responsibility as President of the United States to
fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear."
Osama became an evil man
of action -- Obama an immoral man of inaction.
Osama, with few troops,
no country, and no official title, declared war on the world's greatest superpower in
1996 and took action: the Khobar towers,
the USS Cole, the U.S. embassies in Africa,
the WTC, and many more acts of terror.
Obama, commander in chief
of the world's most powerful military, did everything to appease America's
enemies: the withdrawal of troops from Iraq which led to the rise of
ISIS, his failure to act when Syria's Assad crossed his red line of chemical
weapons use, the nuclear deal with Iran, and many more acts of rendition.
Osama always told the
truth about his beliefs -- Obama told half-truths and lies about Islam.
Let us contrast just a
few of their statements from Osama's letter to America andObama's Cairo speech.
On each other’s
civilizations:
Osama: It is saddening to tell you that you are the
worst civilization witnessed by the history of mankind.
Obama: As a student of history, I also
know civilization’s debt to Islam.
On religious pluralism:
Osama: The religion of Jihad in the way of Allah [is]
so that Allah's Word and religion reign Supreme. It is to this religion that we
call you: the seal of all the previous religions.
Obama: The world must continue to lift up the voices
of Muslim clerics and scholars who teach the true peaceful nature of Islam.
On war and peace:
Osama: Do not await anything from us but Jihad,
resistance and revenge.
Obama: Islam is not part of the problem in combating
violent extremism – it is an important part of promoting peace.
President Obama told the
world "that Islam has always been a part of America's story."
In fact, the first country to declare war on the United States was Muslim
Tripoli. Following the early conflicts with the North African Barbary States,
historian Bernard Lewis wrote (The
Crises of Islam, p.69) that there was little contact between the two civilizations
until the post-WW II oil boom.
The United States is now
in a third historical phase of interaction with the Muslim world. We have
been savagely attacked by "Radical Islam," a phrase Barack Obama
refuses to utter, while being besieged by Muslim propaganda. By taking an
active role in the latter and by failing to decisively combat evil, Barack
Hussein Obama has advanced the cause of Osama Bin Laden. Yes, the president "killed" one mass
murderer, but he has enabled the formation of tens of thousands of ghoulish
assassins who believe that it is their religious duty to enslave non-Muslim
women and who can look an infidel in the face before slowly slicing off his
head.

Requiem for a Lightweight: Obama Out
THEIR GOLDEN AGE OF PLUNDER IS NOT OVER!
NO PRESIDENT IN HISTORY SUCKED IN MORE BRIBES FROM BANKSTERS NOR INFESTED HIS ADMIN WITH BANKSTER CRONIES MORE THAN OBAMA!
And while the Obama administration worked systematically
to bail out the banks and make the financial oligarchy richer
than ever, shielding the architects of the Great Recession
from criminal prosecution, it did impose fines for some of the
banks’ grossest swindles, including the sale of worthless
subprime mortgage-backed securities, the rigging of key
global interest rates such as the London Interbank Offered
Rate (Libor), drug money laundering, illegal home
foreclosures and other illicit activities.

CONTINUES:
Closet Muslim Obama and his Muslims

“Mexican drug cartels
are the “other” terrorist threat to America. Militant
Islamists have the
goal of destroying the United States. Mexican
drug cartels
are now
accomplishing that mission – from within, every day, in virtually
every community
across this country.” - JUDICIAL WATCH
ISLAM: GLOBAL HATE MONGERS AND MURDERERS
THEIR
LOOTING OF AMERICA MADE THEM FILTHY RICH, KEPT OUR BORDERS WIDE OPEN, KEPT
CRONY WALL STREET BANKSTERS OUT OF PRISON, AND ENRICHED MUSLIM DICTATORS
"This offers cold comfort to millions of college students saddled with massive debt and workers confronting the prospect of dead-end, low-wage and part-time jobs. The economic legacy of the Obama administration has been a bonanza for Wall Street, with huge income gains for the top 1 percent and falling and stagnating wages for the vast majority. The main beneficiaries have been wealthy individuals like Chelsea Clinton herself, who is married to a hedge fund manager."
Who does not remember the Obomb bending
over to kiss the hem of the 9-11 invading
Saudi dictator, King Lardbucket the
Fornicator?

HUCKSTER OBAMA
"But the Clintons personify this corruption just as much as
Trump, even if they made use of a different mechanism and on a somewhat smaller
scale. They amassed a fortune exceeding $150 million in the decade after Bill
Clinton left the White House, mainly through six-figure fees for addressing
corporate and Wall Street audiences. Barack Obama will shortly take a similar
path, reaping his reward from the financial aristocracy whose interests he
safeguarded so assiduously over the past eight years."
