Al-Qaeda lead singer Osama bin Laden's latest mixtape just dropped, and it sounds like he's looking to broaden his audience. In the message, which I had to read about several times just to make sure it wasn't some kind of joke or parody, bin Laden blamed Western industrialized nations
for hunger, desertification and floods across the globe, and called for "drastic solutions" to global warming, and "not solutions that partially reduce the effect of climate change."He also wants to boycott American products and has a huge problem with dollarization.
"We should stop dealings with the dollar and get rid of it as soon as possible," he said. "I know that this has great consequences and grave ramifications, but it is the only means to liberate humanity from slavery and dependence on America."So basically he's Naomi Klein now?
Has to get dull sitting around that cave all day.
This is smart. The focus on global warming should help him unify his base, especially if he builds out a follow-on grassroots micro-donation platform. Still, by mid-2011 he's going to have to soften his call for "drastic solutions" or he won't stand a chance against Scott Brown in 2012.
Nice.
Bloody CIA is 'avin a laugh.
See, this is exactly what you get when the Supreme Court overturns campaign finance regulations.
"That's not true."
He keeps talking like that then who's gonna want to make a reality TV show with him?
Well, we have to end apartheid for one. And slow down the nuclear arms race, stop terrorism and world hunger. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless, and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights, while also promoting equal rights for women. We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values. Most importantly, we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people.
"He's dead! I've been waiting for this day for years! Parrrrttyyyyy!!!"
I see what you did. There.
So I suppose this gives republicans even MORE incentive to not believe in global warming. Because the ENEMY believes in it. Sigh.
Global warming is like a strange sort of anti-tinker-bell. If Osama bin Laden just believes in it hard enough, it'll disappear.
Team Jacob or Team Edward. Jesus bin Laden tell us what we want to know.
Also, is there a limited vinyl run or has al Qaeda gone digital?
Some of us still think he sold out when bin Laden went electric.
I won't believe it's Bin Laden until I see a birth certificate.
"Boycott American Products" -- sure, now that his barrage of fan mail to Whitney Houston has gone unanswered...
Two things:
1. I'm using the "Al Qaeda lead singer...." at cocktail parties and as a way to entice smarter people than me to have sex with me. Let me know if thats gonna be a problem.
B. "...liberate humanity from slavery and dependence on America."
Well dang it....! Depending on the USofA these days is like waiting for my junkie uncle to "liberate" himself from the bathroom in the back of the house trailer....it aint gonna happen so dont bet on it. Bin Laden is betting on the wrong horse right now...he needs to get out of the hills and find another Godless Enemy of All Peoples.
This is just Howard Zinn's final joke on America.
