The Guardian removed a 21-year-old letter from Osama Bin Laden after a TikToker urged followers to read the al Qaeda leader’s missive.

    Always like reading things people tell me not to read, I’ve never read this before, so it was interesting to read.

    I love the contradictions of how the American people are to blame as well because we elect our leaders but then he goes on to say that our leaders are bought by the Jews and elite. Make up your fucking mind, not like it matters anyway though.

    Also, Satanic American Invention sounds like a great band/song name lol.

      Or the fact that the US military was invited to Saudi Arabia to protect the nation and liberate Kuwait. If asked to leave they would. Mind you this was prior to the second Iraq war in which the US was decidedly not invited and had no legitimate reason to invade.

      I mean, its not inconceivable that both of the two options we usually get have been bought by the same people. Check out publicly available public donations. Most companies donate equally to both American parties.

        Yea I’m not denying that our politics are laden with money exchanging hands I’m saying that he’s contradicting himself within a few lines of him saying one thing and then saying the other. Saying that we are responsible for electing them and the basically saying that we don’t have any power in elections by way of the jews and the unimaginably rich is totally contradictory, which one is it?

      Both can be true. I mean, candidates are bought by jewish and we don’t have a choice but to vote one of them. It’s worse not to vote them at all, atlhough it would be the right thing to do.
