...bin Laden’s execution successfully obscured the wider context of his state-sponsorship, including longstanding US complicity in protecting the governments that protected the al-Qaeda terror chief, before and after 9/11.This article contains a lengthy analysis using documents from a number of sources attempting to unravel the many mysteries which have underlain major events like 9/11, the War on Terror, the bin Laden killing, etc, and what retired Professor Peter Dale Scott has labeled as a "deep state" which secretly directs US foreign and often domestic policies. As such it is a major piece of investigative journalism that seeks to reveal the actual forces directing the actions of the US-led Empire. These behind-the-curtain actors are well hidden from the American public by using secret agencies and a constant barrage of lies purveyed by ruling class media. Ahmed's findings dovetails nicely with Scott's description of a deep state that is using Middle East resources as a major foundation for its imperial domination of the world. As Scott put it,
“… a complex that involves the oil majors like Exxon, the Pentagon’s concern with oil and gas movements from the Persian Gulf and Central Asia, offsetting arms sales, Saudi investments in major US corporations like Citibank and the Carlyle Group (the owners of Booz Allen Hamilton), and above all the ultimate United States dependency on Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and OPEC, for the defense of the petrodollar.”
