Osama bin Laden is Alive Claims Edward Snowden

One 33¢ bullet is certainly more cost effective than 100K a month and wildly more secure.  But of course dropping this into the information stream would likely bring out some unsavory characters to dispatched forthwith. Which I take no issue with. Cutting the head off has always been a misnomer IMO, they use the head to attract the subordinates at all levels taking inventory before elimination. Does anyone think they would be silly enough to go in and rid the world of Bin Laden the next day once they found out about his compound if indeed there was one? Heck no they would wait to see who comes and goes first. Our intel people make some mistakes but they aren't stupid. Efficient might be a better description. 

So... did Bin Laden get the Fountain of Youth or some magic immortality treatment?

He was suffering renal failure early on and would be dead by natural causes, if nothing else. At least he ought to be.

Bin Laden also made a true and real sport, with cash paid, for the murder of CIA case officers. Snowball is choosing an odd agency (one he was an employee at..so he should know) to be suggesting as Bin Laden's benefactor.

He sounds like he has become the propaganda source now........if he hasn't always been.

My two cents.

"Moscow Tribune"? Really? lol

I'd say that there is zero chance that Edward Snowden did this interview, is publishing a book, or would have such a blockbuster document in his possession and didn't bother saying anything until now.

When looking into the veracity of such claims, copy and paste a quote from the article (I used "Osama Bin Laden was one of the CIA’s most efficient operatives for a long time") put it in quotes in a google search and see what comes back. If it's next to nothing (two pages of results) and they're mostly duplicates and/or crackpot web sites, it's a hoax.

As is the case here.

Explanation: Bahamas eh?!



Brings new mean to when the WH said he swims with the fishes!

Who knew he took up coral diving on a CIA pension!

This story implies that Snowden still has access to CIA databases if he is coming out with such stuff.

He knows all their backdoors and I am sure they simply can't just close them all as it would impede national security intelligence gathering too much.

However, with the claims of a spurious media source and suspicions this may be a hoax we will just have to monitor this source website for updates and wait for these papers to appear ... if Snowdens book doesn't appear 1st!

Patience is a virtue! And good things come to he who waits!

Furthermore ... the information supplied by the article and claimed to be from Snowden can be possibly cross referenced by a savvy journalist [large house ... old muslim man clean shaven many women ... rich! ... recently immigrated from Pakistan ] ... and hey who doesn't want to travel to the Bahamas to do some research work for a story?

So methinks this can easily be verified by following certain paper trails and looking at the demographics of the Bahamas ...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bahamas







en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osama_bin_Laden



As Osama was born in 1957 he would be 58yrs old and in the 67% of people aged 15-64 and there is less than half a million citizen residents and the average individual resident makes 3 to 4 times less per year than what the article claims Osama's MONTHLY income is and so he would clearly be in the top 1% of the Bahamas rich elite.

Further he stands out in regards to ...



And he probably wont speak with a native dialect ...



And his religion marks him out ...



So one would only be looking at < 1% of the population who could be a very rich Asian muslim male aged over 50yrs old who has no Bahamian accent and doesn't use the local dialect and has a lot of wives living in a big villa which is positioned near the bank in Nassau, and who immigrated AGAINST the trend of people not immigrating to the Bahamas [i.e. more people are leaving than arriving and staying].

This all means that he may be one of a mere handful of 3218 maximum possible candidates [1 in 100 statistically speaking] in the entire nation.

Personal Disclosure: This about the best I can reasonably do!

But I did note in the wiki that many of the Bahamian cities had far less than 5,000 people each and that would mean only checking up on about 50 or less people in these less inhabited places making the search more limited but also easier to complete it fully and mark it off the books in the greater scheme of debunking or confirming these things.

Age 58yrs old 67% demographic. [note if you break the 50yr range down by dividing the % of population by 50yrs then each year in the age group each covers about 1.333% of the population]
Gender Male 50% demographic. [note unshaven]
Ethnicity Asian <3% demographic. [note Arab features]
Religion Muslim <2% demographic. [note many wives]
Money 1.2million U$D per year 1% demographic. [note big villa close to bank in Nassau]
Immigrated against the trend after May 2, 2011 [USA claimed date of death of Osama].

Getting hold of a Bahamian voting role to go through names would be very useful and I suppose the same applies witha Bahamian white pages phone book ... anything to cross reference.

He would obviously be under an assumed name and I am thinking something americanized and also I would suspect that he strangely immigrated from the USA to the Bahamas.
