When will the American public lift the scales from their eyes? It appears the Obama Administration is having a terrible time getting its' story straight on the so called Bin Laden killing. The more they speak the less believable the circumstances behind this event become. When the evidence starts to be added up, one starts to suspect this whole chapter on the war against terror is but another gigantic lie.
So now we learn there was no live video feed into the White House during the raid on Bin Laden's compound. For some reason the helmet mounted cameras either stopped functioning or were deliberately cut off. So is there any actual footage of the what transpired in the building as the Navy Seals went in? We were led to believe that the President and his advisers were crowded around the television screen Sunday, watching the attack and subsequent killings as the events transpired. They even released a photo to convince us of this fact. But now, we are told that was not quite the case...
Osama bin Laden dead: Blackout during raid on bin Laden compound
The head of the CIA admitted yesterday that there was no live video footage of the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound as further doubts emerged about the US version of events.
By Steven Swinford
Leon Panetta, director of the CIA, revealed there was a 25 minute blackout during which the live feed from cameras mounted on the helmets of the US special forces was cut off.
A photograph released by the White House appeared to show the President and his aides in the situation room watching the action as it unfolded. In fact they had little knowledge of what was happening in the compound.
Mr Panetta said: "Once those teams went into the compound I can tell you that there was a time period of almost 20 or 25 minutes where we really didn't know just exactly what was going on. And there were some very tense moments as we were waiting for information.
"We had some observation of the approach there, but we did not have direct flow of information as to the actual conduct of the operation itself as they were going through the compound."
Mr Panetta also revealed that the US Navy Seals made the final decision to kill bin Laden rather than the president.

On top of this, we now are told that no photos of Bin Laden's corpse will be released to the public by the White House. The excuse being we don't want to gloat and upset Muslim sentiments. I guess killing several hundred thousand Muslims the past nine years in Iraq and Afghanistan and torturing prisoners in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib was seen as being acceptable by Muslims around the world. We just don't want to press our luck.
Obama: I won't release bin Laden death photos
In an interview with Steve Kroft for this Sunday's "60 Minutes" conducted today, President Obama said he won't release post-mortem images of Osama bin Laden taken to prove his death.
"It is important to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence or as a propaganda tool," said the president.
"We don't trot out this stuff as trophies," Mr. Obama added. "The fact of the matter is, this is somebody who was deserving of the justice that he received."
The president said he had discussed the issue with his intelligence team, including Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and that they agree with the decision. White House press secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday that Mr. Obama made the decision today.

We also know that the reported facts and accounts of the assault and killings put out by the White House change almost hourly. In fact there are so many inconsistencies in the description of the events, the White House has decided to stop making comments about them, conveniently blaming the conflicting reports on the "fog of war". Might it be that those who planned and carried out this hoax never thought anyone would bother to question or challenge them? Haven't the media laid down and played dead since the events of 9/11? Were they expecting more of the same causing them to believe a full proof explanation with everyone speaking from the same script wasn't necessary? Are they getting lazy?
The killing of Osama bin Laden: how the White House changed its story
Bin Laden not armed and did not use woman as human shield, US admits; Barack Obama's spokesman blames 'fog of war'
Robert Booth
The White House has revised its version of what happened during the raid on Osama bin Laden's home in several significant ways since its first briefings.
It says the mistakes and contradictions are simply down to "the fog of war". Jay Carney, the president's spokesman, told reporters on Tuesday: "We provided a great deal of information with great haste in order to inform you ... and obviously some of the information came in piece by piece and is being reviewed and updated and elaborated on."
Here are the main points of difference:
Osama bin Laden was armed and died in a firefight after resisting
A senior Pentagon official told reporters on Monday in a background briefing that the American team engaged in a firefight and Bin Laden did resist, giving the strong impression he was armed and may have been shooting.
"He was engaged in a firefight with those that entered the area of the house he was in," said John Brennan, White House security adviser. "And whether or not he got off any rounds, I quite frankly don't know … The president put a premium on making sure that our personnel were protected and we were not going to give Bin Laden or any of his cohorts the opportunity to carry out lethal fire on our forces. He was engaged and he was killed in the process.
"The concern was that Bin Laden would oppose any type of capture operation. Indeed he did. It was a firefight. He, therefore, was killed in that firefight."
How the story changed
Carney said on camera at a White House briefing on Tuesday that Bin Laden had not been armed. "On the first floor of Bin Laden's building, two al-Qaida couriers were killed, along with a woman who was killed in crossfire," he said. "Bin Laden and his family were found on the second and third floor of the building. There was concern that Bin Laden would oppose the capture operation – operation rather, and, indeed, he did resist. In the room with Bin Laden, a woman – Bin Laden's – a woman, rather, Bin Laden's wife, rushed the US assaulter and was shot in the leg but not killed. Bin Laden was then shot and killed. He was not armed."
When pressed on the nature of Bin Laden's resistance, Carney said: "I think resistance does not require a firearm." He declined to elaborate on what other form it had taken.
Al-Arabiya, a Middle East news channel, reported that it had been told by a Pakistani security that Bin Laden's 12-year-old daughter told Pakistani investigators the US forces captured her father alive but shot him dead in front of family members. An official of the ISI, the Pakistani intelligence agency, told the Guardian she saw her father killed but did not suggest he had been captured at that point.
Osama Bin Laden used women as human shields, including his wife who was killed in the process.
Brennan said on Monday: "There was family at that compound and there was a female who was in fact in the line of fire that reportedly was used as a shield to shield Bin Laden from the incoming fire."
He added: "I think it really just speaks to just how false his narrative has been over the years."
A journalist asked if the woman was his wife. Brennan replied: "That's my understanding. It was one of them … She served as a shield … when there was the opportunity to get to Bin Laden she was positioned in a way that indicated that she was being used as a shield – whether or not Bin Laden or the son, or whatever, put her there, or she put herself there."
The story was partially backed up by an off the record Pentagon briefing at which reporters were told by a senior defence official that Bin Laden and some other male combatants "certainly did use women as shields".
But the official said the woman who was with Bin Laden was injured and not killed. The woman who ended up being killed had been used as a shield by "a military age male" who was firing from behind her, they said.
How the story changed
The president's spokesman on Tuesday corrected Brennan, saying: "In the room with Bin Laden, a woman – Bin Laden's – a woman, rather, Bin Laden's wife, rushed the US assaulter and was shot in the leg but not killed."
Bin Laden had been 'living high on the hog'
Defence officials briefed reporters on Monday that Bin Laden's compound was worth $1m and was in stark contrast to the "much more dire conditions" endured by his "terrorist colleagues" and speculated on what they might be thinking "when they see that their leader was living, relatively speaking, high on the hog".
How the story changed
Local estimates suggest the house is worth $250,000. Footage from inside the compound shows little sign of luxury. Cooking equipment was shown on the floor, the decor seemed shabby, medicines were left on a shelf with no cabinet and the pantry seemed rudimentary. The paint was peeling outside the building and there was no sign of airconditioning.
Bin Laden's son Khalid was killed in the raid
Brennan told reporters: "Bin Laden died, the two al-Qaida facilitators – the brothers, who were the courier and his brother in the compound; Bin Laden's son Khalid; and the woman, presumed to be his wife, who was shielding Bin Laden."
How the story changed
The name of the son was changed to Hamza in the transcript.
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and senior White House officials watched the raid unfold live on monitors
Brennan said on Monday: "We were able to monitor in a real-time basis the progress of the operation from its commencement to its time on target to the extraction of the remains and to then the egress off of the target… we were able to monitor the situation in real time and were able to have regular updates and to ensure that we had real-time visibility into the progress of the operation. I'm not going to go into details about what type of visuals we had or what type of feeds that were there, but it was – it gave us the ability to actually track it on an ongoing basis."
How the story changed
Carney said on Tuesday the updates were "minute-by-minute" and "they were looking at and listening to those updates". CIA director Leon Panetta told PBS on Tuesday: "Once those teams went into the compound, I can tell you that there was a time period of almost 20 or 25 minutes that we really didn't know just exactly what was going on."

Now add to all of this, the report of Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under three different administrations, Steve R. Pieczenik's knowledge, gathered from CIA sources, that Bin Laden was dead before we went into Afghanistan in 2001 along with Pieczenik's desire to go before a grand jury to disclose what he knows about 9/11 being a false-flag attack, we can begin to witness and expose the extent of the "Big Lie" being perpetuated on the American public and the world, in regards to our so called war on terror...
Top US Government Insider: Bin Laden Died In 2001, 9/11 A False Flag
Paul Joseph Watson
Top US government insider Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik, a man who held numerous different influential positions under three different Presidents and still works with the Defense Department, shockingly told The Alex Jones Show yesterday that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001 and that he was prepared to testify in front of a grand jury how a top general told him directly that 9/11 was a false flag inside job.
Pieczenik cannot be dismissed as a “conspiracy theorist”. He served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under three different administrations, Nixon, Ford and Carter, while also working under Reagan and Bush senior, and still works as a consultant for the Department of Defense. A former US Navy Captain, Pieczenik achieved two prestigious Harry C. Solomon Awards at the Harvard Medical School as he simultaneously completed a PhD at MIT.

Will the mainstream media even attempt to address the possibility that Bin Laden was already dead for nine years and that the events of Sunday May 1, 2011, were nothing but an illusion concocted by the CIA our military and this administration to gain some political benefit and to heighten the fears of a retaliatory attack from some new phantom enemy to promote their ever expanding war machine and security state? We are now being asked to believe that they killed the evil-doer without providing a shred of verifiable evidence, while the media shirks it's responsibilities again by continuing to wave the flag and warn us that we are not yet safe. When will the American people finally say enough is enough?
