I just read that Osama Bin Laden is dead and has been dead since right after September 11 th. I heard that he wasn't killed by the USA but by his own son who has taken over as the leader. The republicans knew about it and are keeping it a secret until the day before the Presidental elections so it will look good for them. Cause they are afraid that they will lose the election to the Democrats. If you have away to look at the videos that were posted in 2003 you will notice that Osama has a grey beard and then if you look at the video from 2007 his beard is no longer grey, but black. This might just be a rumor but someone should look into it. I believe it is true cause I remember looking at the videos and it just doesn't add up.

I can remember when a certain (to be unnamed in these forums) movie star's head was completely grey, and now it is dark brown. Even the furthest reaches of the wilds of Afganistan have Clairol. I suppose Osama's motto is "Never say dye, say hair colour."
It just seems there is too much collaborative evidence that he is living to warrant the belief that he has been dead since 9/11. Certainly, there is no reason to believe that Bush would hide this fact for so long; he would have been the first to take credit for Osama's death right at the time and ensure his re-election.

I love a good conspiracy theory , too bad this aint one of them .....

That fits a growing number of Hollyweird types I believe (I'm thinking of a very lucky someone that was in Lost Highway, myself ). How about Grecian Formula for beards or "Just for Men" ? (no goat play for mr. gray ) I'd think under the circumstances that boot polish would work pretty well. I'm sure it would be impossible for them to have used something like "photoshop" as well . the fact that we only hear from him now (no visual )would lend credence to his, what I'm hoping was an extremely painful, recent death.
Oh.....Pa-leaze.... No more than any one else in Washington

I'll give ya he may actually be dead now,tho I doubt it. But he certainly was alive during the '84 election. As mentioned above there was no way they'd have kept the hair job on 'Ice' for any longer.

He may have died in some accident involving goats and a shepherd, but if so, it was recent.

Beware the fury of a camel spurned!

Quite frankly I almost wish he would just croak, but then some other nut case would just step up an take his place.
Better the known enemy. Really all he is, is a figurehead - the terrorist movements (can't just call them al-quada anymore - to many different groups now) have taken on a life of their own. Now they just want to kill anyone who isn't muslum!!!

Reminisent of the Cruisader Wars of old.

Osama bin Laden is not dead -

God is keeping him alive at the request of the writers for Leno and Letterman's late night shows!

I too have heard that Bin Laden has been dead for years (from kidney failure). I believe it. The new Osama Vids are just comical. Osama just can't seem to get a new camera with a clear picture with his shipment of hair dye (which is forbidden by Islam, by the way). The "Elusive Goldstein"(1984 reference) has to be out there, though, haunting our nightmares, or else we might forget why we need to give up our rights and kill Muslims.

I just re-read this. Could you provide a link to what you "just read"?

The absurdity of it is clear to me - "only the Republicans know that he is dead"? The idea that either the Republican or Democrat party is so close knit that it could keep such information from the rest of the world simply smacks of biased conspiracy theory gone wild. Sadly, some people will fall for it, as some do to all of these things.

Also, as pointed out, the advantages to proclaiming his death far outweigh allowing him to be the living figurehead of Al Qaeda.

Jacval just by readying your topic and description one can assume immediately nothing anyone says will ever change your mind, meaning you have it in your mind this image that the Republicans are all bad and are in on a conspiracy against the American people.
Please pose some in-depth proof of your theory, from what I can tell you just watched maybe a video or two made by someone and posted on youtube that shows different pictures of osama, and points out differences, and believe that the video is enough to formulate your strong basis for this theory that the big bad gov't is out to get us all.

Not only that but you use a few waffely words: "Heard that" "read that", come on! we are in the day and age of user content!
Anyone can post anything weather it's true or false, to say that you read somewhere that he is dead, or to say you "heard" is no proof. Show some creditable sources.

How could you possibly form a theory about a conspiracy without doing any realresearch? You cant just watch a video or read something anymore and just believe it.

Real research is the enemy of any conspiracy theory.


Thus probably would have said Z, if he were here now.

Are you saying that there are no conspiracies? That people just do not make secret plans? And that if one only researches enough, only honest motives and righteous people will be found? In government?

Any man who denies that underhand and covert government activity transpires is indeed a fool. However, Osama Bin Laden is almost certainly alive. It is unlikely that he is willing to risk media exposure to the extent that would satisfy conspiracy theorists, and it is purely upon this basis of fact that theorists have spun such yarns. The allegations directed towards the Republican Party at this thread are ridiculous.

No, my remark was specifically addressing Conspiracy Theories which good research by reasonably intelligent people will no doubt always expose.

An actual conspiracy, on the other hand, will be supported by good research by reasonably intelligent people.
