You don't gotta hand it to Osama Bin Laden, to be clear. Some of the things he writes here feel spot on, but a lot of it is just religious screed, he comes across like an islamic Jerry Falwell that got weaponized by the CIA, because that's exactly what he was

yea this was overwhelmingly my feelings as well, i never saw this before so thx

I still have my mind blown that the guardian probably saw an uptick of traffic in an article from 2002 and then checked what it was, welp Osama Bin Laden right there and all his words are still relevant to this date and better take the article down or we risk radicalizing some people

too late lmao

The deletion prompted even more discussion on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), where people questioned the editorial decision and asked for other links to the document. “Thankfully they can’t wipe our memories, or undo our further radicalization,” wrote an X user who said it was “no coincidence” The Guardian took the article down after it made the rounds online.

quote:

Over the past 24 hours, thousands of TikToks (at least) have been posted where people share how they just read Bin Laden’s infamous "Letter to America," in which he explained why he attacked the United States.

The TikToks are from people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Many of them say that reading the letter has opened their eyes, and they’ll never see geopolitical matters the same way again.

Many of them — and I have watched a lot — say it has made them reevaluate their perspective on how what is often labeled as terrorism can be a legitimate form of resistance to a hostile power.

This is not limited to TikTok; similar videos have been posted on other social media platforms.

The Guardian had a copy of “Letter to America” posted, but once these TikToks went viral, the Guardian took it down, which has only led to more interest in the letter and conspiracies from TikTokers who say this is part of the media and the powers that control it trying to silence the truth.

Just like the other one this has got some bangers but he undermines his point with a jewish banking conspiracy in literally the first paragraph

I think everybody's known a guy like this, who is on point 90% of the time but then occasionally goes on tangents about the jews or reptile people or how god made them their agent on earth or whatever, and we put this guy in charge of an army and just kind of let him loose on the world

America deserves what they got for putting guns in this guy's hands but the best thing Osama Bin Laden ever did was feed some fish and I salute him for doing such a good job of that

OBL made the mistake of assuming the rest of the world wasn't already captured and wouldn't go along with the US destabilizing itself into a paranoid hellhole. In a way, he caught a barely recognizable but equally virulent strain of West Wing Brain. Clearly the rational actors of the world would cut off America if it went rabid, they wouldn't roll up their sleeve and say "please bite here sir."

The point is the call for revolution. Even a cia asset whose crowning achievement was convincing a group of people to blow up buildings that his former handlers allowed to be blown up could see that, so it only stands to reason that the same machine behind the "that hospital was coming right for us!" posts would try to obfuscate that.
