Saturday, November 22, 2008 marked two auspicious occasions in the history of the United States of America. It was the 45th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's brutal assassination in Dallas, Texas. Fodder for conspiracy theorists over the years, JFK's murder had never been conclusively solved in the minds of many Americans. The Warren Commission was, to many, nothing more than a whitewash designed to put people at ease, making them believe that there was no further conspiracy between the mafia, Cuba's communist Fidel Castro, organized labor, Lyndon B. Johnson, or any other suspected participants. Lee Harvey Oswald was designated as the sole assassin, something that could not be proven since Oswald was slain by a crazed nightclub owner, Jack Ruby, while still in police custody immediately following his apprehension. Documents pertaining to the case were sealed for 75 years - until 2038, by which time most Americans who were alive at the time of the killing, would no longer be alive to research, refute or respond to the data. Those who were still alive would be hampered by memory loss and illness, unable to present any unified front toward re-hasing the events of that fateful day that destroyed "Camelot" and Kennedy's vision of a prosperous, fruitful America for all citizens.
In most of the country,
Orlando, Florida was one community that had been hard-hit by the O.U.T.R.A.G.E. bombings, then hit harder still when a violent hurricane crawled up from the West Indies and decimated this city that had become over-bloated with new citizens ever since Walt Disney brought Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck to town more than a quarter-century ago. Much of the city's wealth and power had concentrated along the eastern edge of Orlando as the sprawl seemed to ooze through what used to be swampland. Not far away stood a handsome community of prestige mansions, occupied by the ultra-rich and protected by ornate gates, fortified to keep intruders and unwanted visitors at bay. Some of these lavish homes featured moats that surrounded the grounds, stocked with crocodiles so that anyone stupid enough to even try 'breaking and entering' would become a fresh and scrumptious lunch as soon as he entered the forbidden waters. Other homes had elaborate security systems, armed guards, and automatic weapons strategically aimed at points where intruders might be inclined to try and break through. O.U.T.R.A.G.E. bombs had destroyed most of these multi-million-dollar mansions on January 17 with the help of just a few simple cell phones programmed to detonate small bombs that had been placed by O.U.T.R.A.G.E. members posing as service people, landscapers, gardeners, security guards, or other "little people" who were commonly allowed on the grounds for routine menial labor. One of the largest of the those mansions was a gated compound owned by a family with the last name of binLaden, although there was no such designation anywhere on the property. The concrete and stone home, along with its numerous outbuildings and adjacent cottages, occupied more than 32 acres, all of which was secured by 13-ft. electrified fencing, assuring that no one short of Superman, Spiderman, or Mighty Mouse could enter without express permission. Occupants of the estate were rarely seen, and virtually unknown to any of their billionaire neighbors. When they did leave the grounds, it was only as part of a contingent of black Mercedes limousines with blacked-out windows and no identifying marks (not even license plates). Much of the compound had been destroyed; however, on the far edge of the real estate stood three small structures that apparently had escaped the O.U.T.R.A.G.E. bombings. Since January 17, 2008, these three small buildings, unbeknownst to anyone except the late George W. Bush and the late Dick Cheney, had been the living quarters of a man who supposedly was once the focus of a world-wide hunt: Osama binLaden. Before January 17 - in fact, ever since September 13, 2001 - this tall, dark Muslim man had been in hiding, protected by only the upper-echelons of the United States government! Shortly after the 'terrorist attacks' on the World Trade Center twin towers and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, binLaden had become the target of the U.S. government as officials linked him to the tragic bombings and swore he would be captured and brought to justice. Media reports often claimed he was dead. Other so-called 'experts' claimed he was seriously ill, living in a complex maize of Afghanistan caves, or enjoying a lavish lifestyle as a playboy in Paris after shaving his ample beard and discarding his trademark turban. Now, binLaden voluntarily emerged from his secret snactuary of the past seven years, prepared to give himself up to U.S. authorities in hopes that he would be given a "fair and just" trial. "I always knew," he confessed when taken into custody by federal authorities, "that the Bushites would use my capture as another publicity stunt, just as they did when they killed Saddam Hussein." Taken to a secure federal prison in southern Georgia, binLaden was given every accommodation, treated with surprising courtesy, and promised what he asked for: a "fair and just" trial. O.U.T.R.A.G.E. volunteers and those remaining federal law enforcement authorities wanted to hear his story - and find out precisely what role he played (if any) in the 9-11 attacks on American soil. George W. Bush and Dick Cheney had consistently pointed to binLaden as the perpetrator of these heinous crimes, even though it was common knowledge that George H.W. Bush and many of his departing cabinet members were associated with the Carlyle Group, one of America's alrgest government vendors, and - investors in which included a family by the last name of binLaden. While the accusations were always there, no one could seem to make them "stick". Now Osama binLaden would reveal the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth as to his place in the history of the Bush administration and the world. It would be an intriguing story, no doubt. Interrogations began in earnest immediately upon his arrival at the Georgia prison. Colin Powell, John McCain, and Barrack Obama ordered that binLaden be treated "fairly, propitiously and judiciously". No undue harm was to come to him under any circumstances.
