I remember when I first heard the news back in 2011 that US president Obama had found and killed Osama. The first thing I did was research the place he had been hiding. I had to know how he had evaded capture for so long. Truthfully I thought he was more than likely already dead by this time, either killed during a bombing campaign, or due to the poor condition of his health which was deteriorating by the time 9/11 happened. I ignored the fact he was already more than likely dead and followed the official story. Why would US president Obama make it up? To boost his struggling re-election campaign? To support foreign interests and smear Pakistan with even more prejudice? I didn’t think about these questions. I just researched Abbottabad and the area he was found.
“That’s strange” I thought “this is a very nice city, and there are military bases everywhere…”
It wasn’t where I expected Osama to be found. Osama’s compound was about 100 metres from the nearest military base. The idea of him sneaking in or out of this place seemed absurd. The location seemed very ropey, but I thought nothing of it.
Was Osama Bin Laden really found in Abbottabad, Pakistan? A city renowned for its education, safety, military presence, pleasant weather, and all round quality of living standards?
I happened to be in Pakistan so I thought I might as well chase this query up. I visited Bilal town where the compound was.
Sign at entrance; says something about the military owning the land
I talked to the locals, many of whom were there when the raid happened.
The story I got from the locals was “No, he was not here”.
It’s true that there was a raid, and that they did kill someone who was a militant, but Osama was never there and neither were any of his family. Bilal town is a middle/upper class area where everyone knows each other. At no point did anyone notice or see any Saudi Arabians who would have stood out. The guy they killed was a militant from a nearby local area. The official story does not match up to the local story in which two of the kids from the compound were never seen again, and they were never mentioned in any of the official stories. The official story is full of many contradictions and changing narrative. I also talked with high level intelligence in both the military and ISI. I was told that they would have known if he was there. They couldn’t believe Obama’s story. There was not a doubt in their minds. They said it with such belief.
Demolished in 2012, all that remains of the site is its solid base, designed to withstand earthquakes
The people of Pakistan believe that the USA created the lie to essentially show who the boss was, and also to promote foreign interests in reinforcing the prejudice against Muslim people and nations. It was a clear example of manufacturing consent for the sake of the industrial-military complex and its need for constant war.
That goat
I did hear a story from Taliban about some of them from Karachi helping Bin Laden back and forth through the mountains of Abbottabad. I found this story improbable, due to the likely bad health status of Osama if he was still alive, preventing him from such feats of travel. The heavy military presence also discounts this theory, as well as Bilal town being a small area where everyone knows each other. Also the frequency of travel casts doubt as he was supposedly hidden in a room for five years. Moving around in a heavily militarized zone is a silly thing to do if you are that wanted. This also contradicted the witness evidence from the local public and intelligence. It sounded like something they made up to gain street credit. Terrorism in Pakistan has become a game of branding with terrorist groups competing against each other to commit acts, just to show that they are capable, all for the sake of gaining funding. I didn’t hear this story directly from the people who claimed to have been his transport bodyguards, so perhaps there is truth to it which has been warped, or it dates back to a long time ago in a nearby northern region…

Pakistan is a country that has received a lot of unwarranted prejudice since 9/11. Even Wikipedia shows prejudice by casting doubt on the wonderful people of Abbottabad by saying they “were allegedly unaware of his presence” which implies they probably knew.
The Situation Room
The only evidence that exists that Osama Bin Laden was actually in Abbottabad is the above picture…
😉
Many people aren’t aware of the reality behind Osama Bin Laden. He actually really enjoyed Western cuisine as well as many other Western things. Even if he was holding back his desire for Western cuisine, he would have at least ordered one pizza a month. That’s 60 pizzas over the five years. The local witnesses, the intelligence operatives, the conflicting contradictory official story and the bizarre location of this hideout meant nothing compared to pizza-analysis.
Osama's alleged local
I checked with the local pizza hut and found there were never any pizzas delivered to that compound. This was the final nail in the coffin for my research into if Osama was actually there. I believe he wasn’t there because that’s where the evidence points.
Posing with a friend at a tourist spot for one of the biggest lies of the 21st century
I’m not saying Osama wasn’t there. I’m just saying there is no evidence that he was there, but plenty of evidence and motive to think otherwise. Obama was facing a tough re-election challenge before declaring his Osama kill. Also it is important for the US government to keep building prejudice against Muslim countries such as Pakistan to manufacture consent when it comes to the industrial-military complex and its need for constant war.
9/10 a solid lie which many still believe backed up by one photograph taken in the USA...
