The September 7, 2007 Bin Laden Tape

It's difficult to get a transcript of Bin Laden's most recent video tape. That's strange. But if you read carefully through it, you come inexorably to three conclusions.: 1) Bin Laden is at times indistinguishable from your average, daily Kos reading lefty--behold these samples:

And among the most important items contained in Bush's speeches since the events of the 11th is that the Americans have no option but to continue the war. This tone is in fact an echoing of the words of neoconservatives like Cheney, Rumsfeld and Richard Pearle.

The genocide of peoples and their holocausts took place at your hands: only a few specimens of Red Indians were spared, and just a few days ago, the Japanese observed the 62nd anniversary of the annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by your nuclear weapons.

And when Kennedy took over the presidency and deviated from the general line of policy drawn up for the White House and wanted to stop this unjust war [Viet Nam], that angered the owners of the major corporations who were benefiting from its continuation.
And so Kennedy was killed...


...waging this unjust war in Iraq...

The capitalist system seeks to turn the entire world into a fiefdom of the major corporations under the label of "globalization" in order to protect democracy.

...the warmongering owners of the major corporations realize that you have lost confidence in your democratic system...

This war was entirely unnecessary...

...the essence of man-made positive laws is that they serve the interests of those with the capital and thus make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

And among the most capable of those from your own side who speak to you on this topic and on the manufacturing of public opinion is Noam Chomsky, who spoke sober words of advice prior to the war...

...then read the book of Michael Scheuer in this regard.

And with that, it has become clear to all that they are the real tyrannical terrorists. In fact, the life of all of mankind is in danger because of the global warming resulting to a large degree from the emissions of the factories of the major corporations, yet despite that, the representative of these corporations in the White House insists on not observing the Kyoto accord...

And Iraq and Afghanistan and their tragedies; and the reeling of many of you under the burden of interest-related debts, insane taxes and real estate mortgages; global warming and its woes; and the abject poverty and tragic hunger in Africa: all of this is but one side of the grim face of this global system.

2) Bin Laden is offering Islam as an alternative to capitalism because, among other things: There are no taxes in Islam, but rather there is a limited Zakaat [alms] totaling only 2.5%...

Wow, that beats the fair tax all to heck.

And finally 3) Any person who thinks any thing other than al Qaeda attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 9/11/01 is either insane or an utter fool (or both). Why do I say that?--here:

...despite America being the greatest economic power and possessing the most powerful and up-to-date military arsenal as well; and despite it spending on this war and is (sic) army more than the entire world spends on its armies...19 young men were able - by the grace of Allah, the Most High- to change the direction of its compass...

...[you] gave [President Bush] a clear mandate from you - with your full knowledge and consent- to continue to murder our people in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Then you claim to be innocent! This innocence of yours is like my innocence of the blood of your sons on the 11th...


So much for the Jews or the Bush Administration bringing down the towers.

I thought it was the right that want a flat tax and low, low rates. Right? The Democrats just "tax and spend."
 
Flat tax in Russia, oh and in the Czech Republic too. Who would have thought the former commies would beat us to a fair tax system? But 2.5%, wow, that's absurdly low.
