“Zero Dark Thirty”: The deeper, darker truths
By Jim Fetzer-PRESS TV
A film that may even take the Academy Award for “Best Picture of 2012” raises serious moral issues; glorifies a political stunt and is based on an historical fiction. It is the latest in Obama propaganda.
Local obituaries reported Osama’s death at the time. Even FOX News subsequently confirmed it. He was buried in an unmarked grave in accord with Muslim traditions. He did not die in Pakistan.
Nick Kollerstrom has published about it, “Osama bin Laden: 1957-2001″. David Ray Griffin has a book about it, Osama bin Laden: Dead or Alive. And Scholars for 9/11 Truth has written about it.
The film suggests that torture produces actionable intelligence, when virtually every military and intelligence expert will confirm that you are told what those being tortured think you want to hear to stop the pain.
As TIME and The Huffington Post have reported, the film’s depiction of torture has created a controversy that may affect its chances for an Oscar. Among the most notable commentaries is one by Matt Tiabbi.
A columnist for Rolling Stone, he has raised serious questions:
“[I]f it would have been dishonest to leave torture outof the film entirely, how is it not dishonest to leave out how generally ineffective it was, how morally corrupting, how totally it enraged the entire Arab world, how often we used it on people we knew little to nothing about, how often it resulted in deaths, or a hundred other facts? Bigelow put it in, which was “honest,” but it seems an eerie coincidence that she was “honest” about torture in pretty much exactly the way a CIA interrogator would have told the story, without including much else.”
Osama was “our man in Afghanistan”
Even more importantly, the political context has been all but lost to history. Obama was on the hot seat for an apparently fake birth certificate, having troops in Pakistan and not closing Guantanamo.
By alleging that the tip had come from a prisoner held there and using troops stationed in Pakistan, in a brilliant political stroke, he took his birth certificate off the front page, positioning himself for re-election.
Osama was “our man in Afghanistan.” During the uprising against its occupation by Soviet forces, he was instrumental in securing Stinger missiles, which were used to shoot down their helicopters and planes.
In an earlier film about Afghanistan, “Charlie Wilson’s War”, Osama’s role was conveniently omitted. It would have been embarrassing to have acknowledged “the man behind 9/11” had been working for us.
The demise of the Soviet Union in 1991 left the military/industrial complex scrambling for some new “boogie man” to justify massive expenditures on military weapons and curtail any “peace dividend.”
Nothing could be more useful than a shadowy “terrorist” threat that has no geographical boundaries, where you can commit a terrorist act any time it’s most politically convenient, as with the Bali bombing.
Australia had been reticent about joining the “war on terror.” What could be a greater inducement than to slaughter many Australians by means of a fabricated attack to motivate its enthusiasm for that war.
Analogously, what could have been more beneficial to Obama than to “take out” a man who was already dead by executing a political stunt that most Americans would not be in a suitable position to contest?
Problems with the “Official Account”
But there were problems. Local residents had never seen Osama. They identified the man in the photo as the compound’s owner, who was not bin Laden. The SEALs performed their task and were gone.
A photograph of the President, the Vice President, and the Secretary of State was widely circulated as engrossed in watching it go down in real time. But the photo itself would turn out to have been
staged.
Leon Panetta, Director of the CIA, let the cat out of the bag by noting that there had been no visual footage of the raid during its first 20-25 minutes, which was more than the lapsed time for the whole event.
The body was allegedly identified by DNA comparisons in less time than scientifically possible — and was then dumped into the sea “in accordance with Islamic practice,” which was a ridiculous contention.
Burial at sea is disrespectful of the body, which can be consumed by sharks, fish and crustaceans. That is not a Muslim tradition, but it conveniently disposed of the most powerful proof of fakery and fraud.
When most of the SEAL team involved in the raid were killed when their helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan a few months later, it was not implausible to suppose that they might have been silenced.
Osama and al-Qaeda, which was the name given to “our base” in Afghanistan, had nothing to do with 9/11. Osama denied that he was involved in 9/11, implicating a “government within the government.”
Another prominent figure who has acknowledged the existence of a “government within the government” is William Jefferson Clinton, who admitted that this is an entity over which he exercised no control.
Research by experts at The Vancouver Hearings (15-17 June 2012) has vindicated his claim, where US neo-cons — with assistance from the Mossad and the complicity of the Pentagon — orchestrated 9/11.
There are many articles about this, including “Peeling the 9/11 Onion: Layers of Plots within Plots” (with Preston James) and “James H. Fetzer: 9/11 IRAN REVIEW Interview”. Or read “9/11: Have we been bamboozed?” The second death of Osama does not stand alone.

Dr. James H. Fetzer, a former Marine Corps officer, is McKnight Professor Emeritus at the University of Minnesota Duluth. A leading expert on the death of JFK and on the atrocities of 9/11, he has published extensively as a journalist for Veterans Today. He edited ASSASSINATION SCIENCE (1998), MURDER IN DEALEY PLAZA (2000), and THE GREAT ZAPRUDER FILM HOAX (2003) on the assassination and chaired or co-chaired four national conferences about it. The founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, he has published THE 9/11 CONSPIRACY (2007), organized the Madison Conference on “The Science and Politics of 9/11″ and, during 2012, The Vancouer Hearings, which brought together experts on different aspects of the case. The conclusions to emerge include that no Boeing 757 hit the Pentagon, that all four of the crash sites were faked or fabricated in different ways, that mini or micro nukes were the most likely explanation for the “collapse” of the Twin Towers, and that Israel and American Neo-Cons planned 9/11 to promote their political agenda. The archives for his radio show, “The Real Deal”, on revereradio.net, at radiofetzer.blogspot.com, include more than 500 interviews on the most complex and controversial issues of our time.

This movie should get the award for comedy. Many of us know the truth, yet what can we do about it? It is no fun anymore to live in a world where no matter who you elect, you don’t know if you actually elected them or they erased some votes, and cheated. If this is the new world odor, it stinks. I like the old one better. Did they really kill off the Seals who could talk someday about this episode of killing a 11 year old corpse? In a world where the president of the United States may not be who he says he is, has no valid birth certificate to show us, lies with such ease, and acts in so many ways without Congress (not that Congress is anything to brag about.) Movies like this can only gain the recognition they do in worlds where everyone has drunk from the kool-aid, became so brainwashed they have no independent thought process and are so scared of what lurks around the next corner they remain frozen in their tracks and feed off this stuff. Home of the brave? Land of the free? Thank you Mr. Fetzer.
In the comedy category, an award would be appropriate. OBL died in 2001 as we all know. This has brought me more laughs than many sitcoms. I, too, would like to see a movie about doing anything for your country, then being betrayed by that country and they target you because you knew and retain the truth. You could speak it at any time,and threaten the entire system. And we say, the truth will set you free, and in the SEALS’ case, I guess it did.
It is so interesting that in what we know as Terrorism (Domestically Speaking) of course… That anyone can setup Google Alert’s for breaking news. In these alerts one can find that behind almost all acts of terrorism that the FBI is behind them. Known better as FBI Handlers who worked with party after party for Month’s of special Stings to create what they wanted to happen to further change US Laws to Usher in the Police State trained by none other then…. ISRAEL!
Isn’t it ODD that the FBI after getting all these Terrorist’s past all TIGHT U.S. Security at Airports, Check-point’s and other locals. That is was THEN that the FBI gave them… A BOMB! This is known as nothing more then treason.
One would also reason why the founding fathers who forged the US Constitution saw fit to have in it an OATH to have those who swore to protect that constitution against ALL Enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC. As time passes one can see why the Domestic was added.
The 11 Year+ WAR “OF” TERRORISM has been played by those who claimed it was against terrorism but in fact has created that terrorism. Daily the USA Government violates their own NDAA in Arming the very ones they claim that these Laws were created to defeat. This again is TREASON.
Obama is not a man of PEACE. He has lied at every opportunity. From the Iraq war and “Taking that to the Bank” to his most “Transparent Administration ever.” Imagine saying that “Manning BROKE THE LAW” implying that Manning has in some remote way “Aided the Enemy” when we read report after report of the US and CIA arming the very Al Qaeda that this War OF Terror was created for.
This is Tantamount to Treason!
We are in a period of time where it would be the only time in this Countries History where it would be LEGAL to hang a black man.
Yet Our Bought Congress refuses to do their jobs and represent the People that put them in office.This is known as aiding and abetting and being an Accessory to the Crimes committed.
As Sheriff Dupnik of Arizona said, “Those who put guns in the hands of a murderer are called an Accessory and they are charged equally in the commission of those crimes.” He was speaking of Fast & Furious “White Gun” and “Operation Castaway”.
Sadly the alarm has goon off and the American Populous continues to hit the SNOOZE BUTTON.
A Home Run, Jim. Too bad it’s the off-season…… Maybe by spring training some more Americans will be ready for the truth. If, of course, the zionists haven’t blown us up by then, since we’re NOT giving up our guns…….. not even for Dianne Feinstein.
My post was stopped by the force in my computer I am in the process of destroying as soon as all data is transfererd, If it comes up please post, i worked on it full of facts.
” fetzer is a 911 psyop”. That’s what I thought when I heard that he said a hurricane caused 911.
Ummm wait a minute……
Opps my bad.
Some do say he had something to do with burmas nuclear program though.
No way it wasn’t a hurricaine it was a flying saucer. I saw the video myself.
Peter is a DICK!- Not an Investigator…Some say!- and those irradiated fish that you eat- Peoapl Tauulk – but them fish surem taste Guuuood!
Which peter?
shh, not important-it’s all about free energy
Hey Mike; does Judy know Mossad did 9-11? Michael Hariri, Alan Sabrosky, Pres Cossiga and everyone else does/did..
Nice article James, I remember Clinton stating once that after ‘Attaining the highest office in the land, I make no decisions’, a Govt within a Govt?
We are all amazed (well, those who are awake here down under) that anyone who wants to be in politics in America, has to visit Israel.for Holohaux training first.
I read somewhere also that DHS is sending any police officer who wants to, can go for a week’s Holohaux training to Israel, on the American tax payer.
Is the secret Govt getting the police ready also for a civil war?
Great stuff Jim.
Do you remember in the summer of 2001? There was an Afghanistan war lord who was killed. The interesting thing about it was that he was a moderate whom was liked by most and could have brought peace to the region.
From Wikipedia, Ahmad Shah Massoud, 1953-2001, was a central figure in the resistance against the Soviet occupation between 1979 and 1989 and in the following years of civil war. He was assassinated on September 9, 2001.
Massoud came from an ethnic Tajik, Sunni Muslim background from the Panjshir valley in northern Afghanistan. He studied engineering at Kabul University in the 1970s, where he became involved with Muslim anti-communist movements. After the Soviet occupation of 1979, his role as an insurgence leader earned him the nickname of “Lion of Panjshir”.
In 1992, he was appointed as the minister of defense through the Peshawar Accord, a peace and power-sharing agreement, in the post-communist Islamic State of Afghanistan - a position he held until 2001.
He fought against an alliance of militias led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and eventually the Taliban who started to lay siege to the capital in January 1995.
Following the rise of the Taliban in 1996, Massoud, who rejected the Taliban’s fundamentalist interpretation of Islam, returned to the armed opposition, serving as the military and political leader of the Northern Alliance. He was assassinated, probably at the instigation of al-Qaeda, in a suicide bombing on September 9, 2001, just two days before the 911 attacks that caused the US and NATO to intervene in Afghanistan, allying themselves with Massoud’s forces.
Massoud was posthumously named “National Hero” by the order of Afghan President Hamid Karzai. The date of his death, September 9, is observed as a national holiday known as “Massoud Day” in Afghanistan. His followers call him “Our Beloved Martyred Commander”.
Paying Attention.
Thanks Emma
I refuse to see the movie and know the facts.
It seems these set-up events, from the Murrah Building and explosives found within the building, which could NOT have been McVeigh, to 9/11 and all we know now, are being exposed and researched and available to the masses, has changed the dynamics of the presented “Nightly News” and the perpetrators are losing control of the narrative. Now these recent rash of false flag events like Aurora and Sandy Hook with the “Temple” in between are being examined by a more aware public. They know the stories don’t add-up and continue to look closer, and see more and more.
It’s no wonder they want the guns, before this series of scams and treacherous events explodes into the general consciousness with tragic consequences for them. They’re being found out and they know it. They’ve painted themselves into a corner, are desperate and are pulling out the stops.
How many entries have we already found that were initiated before Sandy Hook took place? Foreknowledge of the event, and disappearing suspects and all the rest, stinks to high heaven. And the 9/11 Truth Movement won’t die, no matter what they do. Time is working against them.
Excellent…and so succinct it almost reminded me of Gordon’s usual method…A prescient article given that this fraud of a movie will be viewed as a “documentary” by the lemmings who wake-up listening to Jeff Katz or whatever local neo-con squawker, lunch with Limbaugh and spend their evenings with Hannity and O’Reilly..
Zero Dark Thirty – should be renamed- OPERATION, PUT A BULLET IN THE REDHEAD!… those that know, know…….
