Just saw on CNN 'Osama bin Laden killed in Pakistan.' The US media sucks, at least at 3am here in Kenya we have Al Jazeera. Thanks CNN for letting me know will.i.am's reaction video is online, followed by 5 minutes of jerking off to the news being 'leaked' a half-hour before pres. Obama's announcement on 'social media.' Oh, look, we have this networking technology that's a web for advertising that occasionally allows the spread of information. ...and of course no trial. I mean, we couldn't have expected that. Can't risk exposure or any sort of context. Easier to kill. Done and over with...the inevitable 'Celebration in NYC at the WTC', with less blasting on the context rendered subtext; [CELEBRATION OF OSAMA'S BEING KILLED].
Of course, this changes nothing. The US is still engaged in two wars/occupations (remember Iraq and Afghanistan? I would've been much more surprised if there was the announcement of the US pulling out of these two countries... possibly 3 wars/occupations depending on how Libya goes) Killing a body is pretty easy. It doesn't matter that Osama's dead. People don't engage in political violence because of a leader but because of grievances, and while it's cute that Oscar De La Hoya (who lost to my man Pacquiao) said something like 'Hitler muerto May whatever-the-fuck, Osama muerto May whatever-the-fuck,'...I guess I'm supposed to think in the American race binary that De La Hoya is 'black' and that, the response, given in Spanish is some kind of third-world endorsement/guilt assuasion for the West's general persecution of the Muslim world and crusade against African and Middle Eastern freedom. Americans are expected to idiotically latch on to the most immediate, cheapest and most easily exploited human emotions that the media feeds them--isn't it great to be an American? Now Obama doesn't look like a pussy to red states, and, we 'got him.' We went in and killed the bad guy. Weak.
sorry it's been a minute since my last post-I'm in Nairobi
