There exists one fundamental point of view, which I strive to permeate throughout every aspect of my communication to the world: the necessity of critical thinking. While the particular dialogue of my conversations may range in topic from professional athletics to international economics, I strive to deliver ideas into conversation that encourage objective and critical reflection, regardless of my personal opinion on the matter.
In the end, it is a matter of encouraging the listener's mind into dissolving the barriers - such as attachment to comfortable routines of thinking - that impede their progress towards the objective and uncorrupt thought that speaks through man's native tongue.
A tangible demonstration of my effort is embodied in my current endeavor to influence others to question the legitimacy of the American Mainstream Media, particularly in its depiction of our nation's current war effort and the genuine motives of our presidential administration. The average American, weaned on the word of the television personality, has been dragged distant from the realm of objective and critical thought. This dilemma is not merely a matter of detachment from factual information, but roots itself most deeply in a dependence and unwavering trust of the cathode ray tube. Truly, America's faith in the authenticity of television information rivals - if not supercedes - its belief in religion, or any equivalent source of "truth".
With every instrument of communication that I have developed, whether it'd be Digital Media, writing, or verbal interaction... whether through factual revelation or tactical inquiry... I strive to fracture all structures of thought that serve to interfere with the mind's natural capacity to reason, and reason cleanly. It is an endeavor that extends from something far deeper than mere endeavor: a sense of purpose. I cannot think of anything that characterizes passion more lucidly than an alignment with purpose.

Osama Bin Laden videos: Insulting our collective intelligence
So we know Osama puts out more direct to video projects than the olsen twins.
I personally can't wait for the Best of Osama Bin Laden DVD boxed set.
But until then I'm not buying it.
lets pause for a moment and go back to the beginning of the osama tape fiasco in order to gain perspective and put things into context.
First, remember Osama denied having any involvement in 9/11. which in my opinion seems strange because I thought terrorists did things to call attention to their demands, but Osama seemed to be a different kind of terrorist.
Osama denies involvement

now about the recent video tape, released days before the election.
Watch and read the news and notice that it is reported on every major news outlet that this is the first time Osama has taken credit for the attacks,

but wait wasn’t there already video where Osama takes credit for the attacks?
Yes there were both audio and video tapes were Osama takes credit for 9/11.

So why are they saying this is the first time?
Because the earlier video and audio tape have since been proven to be doctored and so since we all have attention deficit disorder we are supposed to forget that Osama already supposedly admitted on video that he was responsible.

As Muslim doubts grow over authenticity, special effects experts say fake would be relatively easy to make

Bin Laden tape 'not genuine'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/2526309.stm
The free press is a façade, because according to what they had previously reported this current tape would be at least the 2nd or 3rd time Osama admitted his involvement, but if the press reported it this way they would also be forced to bring to light the questions surrounding the authenticity of the earlier tapes and that might confuse us simple Americans.
So if the press was really up to par wouldn’t they address the concerns about the earlier tapes authenticity? Instead the issue of the earlier tapes just silently fade away and technically the press is not lying when they simply state that this was the first time Osama had admitted he was responsible.
I would like to make it clear that you need not put faith in what the guardian reports regarding the authenticity of the earlier tapes in question, because the fact that the mainstream press never refers back to the tapes and presents the most recent video tape as the first and only tape of Osama admitting involvement, that confirms that the earlier tapes were not legitimate.
So he denied. Then there were some fake tapes. Now he does a 180 and takes full credit. And this time he has a desk.
and here is the funniest or saddest part after the most recent video tape before the election the pundits and op ed writers tripped over them selves trying to explain why Osama has changed his style so much recently, including grammar, references to the Koran, body language, dress, etc, but no one said, "its almost like he is a different person." here is just one example of the sad attempt to rationalize the changes.

This wasn't just a network and newspaper here and there, this is the whole industry fucking up in perfect unison. the incompetance ruse seems to always work for the government, but lets not allow it to be appled to the news media as well.
This is a good example of how the American indoctrination system works. Sure the information is out there, but you are going to have to work to get it. Most people don’t have the time and energy to carry out a daily research project. Each piece of information we get is presented in a virtual vacuum. So when information is reported without any context, people often fail to recoginize the full story.
So now Osama put out an audio tape in which he passes the torch to Al Zarkawi, Yes that amazing fellow who is every where and nowhere at the same time. Goldstein? What?
