Osama Bin Laden, Now Deader Than Ever

America Needs A Bin Laden Death Photo, And This One Will Do

By Darryl Mason

There's no money shot footage, yet, to go with today's wall to wall coverage of the US official death announcement of Osama Bin Laden, no grainy special forces helmet cam clips from the Abbottabad raid, or a shaky phone came image of Bin Laden's alleged burial at sea.

Yet.

But there is this doctored photo of Bin Laden, which has been pumped on UK, US, Pakistan, Europe & Australian TV news as a real image of a bullet blasted & very dead Osama :



It's not real. It's a basic photoshop job. This is how it was done :

A lot of journos and news producers knew it wasn't a real photo, but the Ultimate End Game Story Of The War On Terror needs a photo of Dead Bin Laden, minimum, and it was better than nothing.

And it sated the desires of hundreds of millions, who needed to see 'proof' Osama Bin Laden was finally dead, even for those who knew it was fake.

The War On Terror started because Osama Bin Laden allegedly attacked Washington DC and New York City on September 11, 2001. The War On Terror is over because Osama Bin Laden is dead. That's how the American Narrative will now flow.

Osama Dead = War On Terror Over.

Don't expect President Obama to sign a different tune. It wasn't his War On Terror, that's why he never uses the term that Bush could barely order lunch without shouting. Obama wanted out of the War On Terror, and now he's got The Bad Guy.

So who faked the photo? Does it matter? It completed the newsbreak narrative. It gave Americans an image to excitedly send to each other's phones and to give the finger to.

The fake photo did its job.

Osama Bin Laden, Now Deader Than Ever.
