OK theorists, can you give it your best shot? Why is the info about Bin Laden being released now?
and for those who think he was killed long ago, what purpose will today's report serve?
Do you think they willingly want to provoke an attack which will destabilize the US even more?
What is the "other hand" doing?
Here's your chance to tell what first popped into your head when you heard the news. I'll tell you mine at 'best answer' time.

Psychological warfare - business as usual. When you're in the business of manipulating public opinion, you find multiple ways to benefit from any situation, whether it's real or invented.
The prime reason why they did this NOW, in my view, is distraction. The dollar collapse is getting serious. We are running out of time. It's a psyop to keep us off balance by hitting us with one thing after another so we can't focus on the real issues, like the new wars, and the massive inflation.
It gets the weak-minded all rallying around and kissing the boots of Gov't. Oh thank you dear overlords! You have saved us from the bad man that you created!
Seriously, the way people are celebrating, you'd think it was V-E day or something. Didn't anybody tell them the wars aren't over?
It also helps Obama's image (obviously). Could be the plan is for him to be re-elected, using Trump to split the conservative/independent vote, a la Ross Perot. But they could just as easily put in another puppet Republican, using Obama's unpopularity as a springboard.
All of this Bin Laden theater will be used for geopolitical reasons as well, you can bet on it. For example, our ally Pakistan had been recently complaining about the US constantly killing their people with drone strikes. Bet they'll shut up about that now that they appear duplicitous for "harboring" this fugitive.
I am in the camp that feels OBL was probably already dead. I don't know this, I just strongly suspect it. Why? His death was announced years ago and no one has seen him alive since. Bhutto was murdered shortly after talking about it. Do I believe her? Not necessarily. But I DEFINITELY don't believe this administration, or the Pentagon, or the CIA.
If he were still alive, the CIA would not have needed to make fake videos and then resort to fake audio tapes. They could have just called him up and gotten him in studio...
The Pentagon and criminal insiders running our government have been saving this ace up their sleeve for years, they could have used it at any time. Kind of creeps me out that they are using it now, it means their agenda is moving fast, and they no longer feel the need to dangle his ghost in front of us.
Source(s): EDIT: Just found out this is the 9th time Bin Laden's death has been publicly announced. I guess people believe it this time because the media is making a big event out of it, so it must be true this time! If Americans got their news from overseas, they would have been rejoicing this years ago. - 1 decade ago
What Obama is doing is called "Wag The Dog."
Wag the Dog is a 1997 black comedy film starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro about a Washington spin doctor who, merely days before a presidential election, distracts the electorate from a sex scandal by hiring a Hollywood film producer to construct a fake war with Albania. The scheme enlists the aid of a country music singer, who creates several theme songs for the war; a "fad king"; and a costume designer, who helps create a fictional special forces unit to fight the war's supposed battles.
The title is explained at the beginning of the film, by a caption that reads:
Why does the dog wag its tail?
Because the dog is smarter than the tail.
If the tail were smarter, it would wag the dog.

I agree completely with Socrates, but there are a couple more things going on this OBL timing works to cover as well which I will add.
First, America is getting really sick of the perpetual Middle East war. Either this + the hit on Gadhafi are meant to stir up the ant hill over there, to boost moral over here, or perhaps both.
Everyone knows the hate these two things generated, and how many more terrorists we just created.
It's quite likely they will now go all out to do something to retaliate (or maybe even a false flag op).
Second, The MSM has taken this completely out of the news. It sickens me that they would leave America in the dark about this...

I think it happened yesterday.
However, I think it was very well timed to be directly after Obama's announcing his new campaign for reelection.
Funny how it was all so very bad when Bush was in charge. Obama criticized the war up and down and then got his peace prize. So, Mr. Peace prize now supposedly supervised this entire deal. Ok. So, who is a peaceful person now?
Whatever....
I still can't wait for the next election and to get someone else in there.

You genuinely responded your guy or woman question. the clicking has aspects filtering leaks. each press corporation strives for the merely precise coup it somewhat is formed after the variable levels of exclusivity as they like to be the 1st and best. That stuff gets printed as quickly as achievable ... on occasion, too quickly. additionally understand, we voters prefer the buffering firewall between the WH and the IRS/DOJ ... otherwise, the WH ought to be dictating coverage approximately what to inspect.

First of all...who is they? Second...you want theory?...here's mine (can't wait to hear yours).
When I can see the evidence myself, that bin Laden planned, plotted and then executed 911, solely by himself & a handful of hijackers. for certain, only then will I believe. When I can see how 911 was funded, how they obtained their visas, who paid for their rent, their flight school, who supported them etc.,. Although bin Laden was wealthy (supposedly), where did his wealth come from & how did he maintain his wealth? Show me his bank accounts, his deposits and where those deposits came from, so I can connect the dots. And most important, who has supported him all these yrs and paid for his dialysis?
Even the best investigative repiorters couldn't begin to find those answers. Everything is classified. When they declassify those papers, say in 30-40 yrs, who is going to care?

You shouldn't feed into conservative conspiracy delusions. It only encourages them to spout their desperate, shrill nonsense
