Note that most of the documents were just various files from the ~10 computers they took from the compound. There's nothing really tying him to many of them. And it's unclear if he even understood English, he claimed not to but his pedigree would suggest he did.

Interesting bits on Germany

> In case there was a call for boycotting the German merchandise, it better to have a substitute to the German technology, and the substitute may be the Japanese or the South Korean.

First: Japan has a technology to cover the needs of the people, who want to dispense with the German goods,

Second: Japan is going through a destructive and fierce crises, this may be a clear message to Japan if this was suitable, this is a suggestion, and I do not know anything about Japan.

> After the publishing of the caricatures insulting Prophet Muhammad in Denmark, the German Minister of the Interior called asked all the European Newspapers to publish the caricatures, and it has a weight since it was not said by a minister of some country, but the Interior Minister of a country that has the largest publishing house in Europe (Axel‐Springer Verlag) , and what is important to mention is, the same minister promised reporters from Der Spiegel a day before the first Summit of Islam that if any one described him in this Summit as a Kafir (Infidel), he will face problems.

> Mentioning this will serve us in spreading fear among the Media personalities believing publishing them, means targeting them. If the Media is afraid, the barrier between the truth and the people is broken. Fearing for their lives, the media will publish what encourages the people to vote for who wants to pull the tro ops, and only God knows.

The top links all go to CIA website and have loads of PDFs that I think contain Al Qaeda propaganda and news. So don't click on that in the UK, pretty sure it's illegal to download that with our terror laws.

Good god, I had no idea how bad the state of personal freedoms is in the UK. That's horrifying.

For the curious, parent is talking about this: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/terrorist-pr...

> Black Box Voting, Ballot Tampering in the 21st Century by Bev Harris > Bloodlines of the Illuminati by Fritz Springmeier These two were the most interesting on the list to me. Not sure why he cared about the first , but the second (and other titles about conspiracies) is really strange to me. Has anyone here read that book?

> Bloodlines of the Illuminati by Fritz Springmeier

The reviews in amazon seem to rave about it. https://www.amazon.com/Bloodlines-Illuminati-Fritz-Springmei...

Though, take them with a grain of salt.

I don't think I'd click on any of the links as a US citizen in the USA...I don't want to wind up on any more lists (the assumption being everyone is on one/some lists.)

Props to the joker who built the page like it was still 2001. Why does it refresh on each click of a section of books? Terrible.

Guess that explains why when you click on english language books the first time, it loads them. Click on something else it page reloads with no change. Or maybe it doesnt explain that at all. Very antiquated site.

The independent is not a serious source and these kind of laws have been tested in court and require terrorist intent. A bad law indeed though

Bin Laden was a successful businessman in Sudan during that country's dark times. A dictator instituted sharia, and Bin Laden was able to run a variety of businesses in its capital. He was not a world renowned terrorist at this time, merely an intelligent and capable Islamic fundamentalist. It was only later he would move East and begin plotting a reign of cruel terror.
