The U.S. government has released a list of English-language books in the library of the fellow who got killed in Pakistan by the Seals in 2011.Here is the book list.
One of them is Antony Sutton's The Best Enemy Money Can Buy (1986). I wrote the foreword. It is here. Who knows? Maybe Osama read it.
Because the printed edition did not mention me as the Foreword's author in the Table of Contents, my Osama connection is not visible to anyone who does not get past the Table of Contents.
Of all the books on the list, my Foreword was by far most relevant to Osama bin Laden and his movement. I began the Foreword with one of the most remarkable facts of modern American history ever to be dropped down the memory hole. My Foreword began as follows:
In December of 1979, the Soviet Union launched a lightning-fast military offensive against the backward nation of Afghanistan. It was after this invasion that President Jimmy Carter admitted publicly that it had taught him more about the intentions of the Soviets than everything he had ever learned. Never again would he kiss the cheeks of Premier Brezhnev before the television cameras of the West. . . .Read the rest here.
The invasion of Afghanistan was a landmark shift in Soviet military tactics. Departing from half a century of slow, plodding, "smother the enemy with raw power" tactics, the Soviet military leadership adopted the lightning strike. Overnight, the Soviets had captured the Kabul airfield and had surrounded the capital city with tanks.
Tanks? In an overnight invasion? How did 30-ton Soviet tanks roll from the Soviet border to the interior city of Kabul in one day? What about the rugged Afghan terrain?
The answer is simple: there are two highways from the Soviet Union to Kabul, including one which is 647 miles long. Their bridges can support tanks. Do you think that Afghan peasants built these roads for yak-drawn carts? Do you think that Afghan peasants built these roads at all? No, you built them.
The Twilight Zone prevarications of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution were soon followed by the mind-bending decision of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society, to build modern bridges with the Soviet Union so their military could invade the funeral pyre of empires, and they could in turn bury the soul of our nation in the white hot ash.
ReplyDeleteGary North has always been amazing.
Couldn't agree more switchblade, Gary North is amazing.
ReplyDeleteJoshua, his essay on the Articles of Confederation morphing into the Constitution knocked me out, but that was not really a surprise because he has been knocking me out since 2002,
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to have him on my radio program several months back, to talk about his Ron Paul curriculum.
ReplyDeleteIt's the only curriculum my teenagers actually looked forward to every day. Mr. North has several fans in my house.
Just want to throw this out there: Could this reading list be government propaganda? The only reason I can't fully make that claim is that Ron Paul is missing from his reading list. However, if Osama was reading Illuminati books about freemasons, Gary North, and Noam Chomsky, then why didn't he espouse any of this in the several video messages he released after 9/11? Why was he censoring himself and not warning the world of an Illuminati conspiracy? Also, why was he curious about 9/11 conspiracies? If he's the one behind the attacks, it would make for real boring reading I would think
ReplyDeleteI have thought the same thing Jay, this could easily be a false flag list. But maybe not.
ReplyDeleteAnd it could be, Bin Laden was also curious about who was behind 9-11.
