TikTok Shredded as Influencers Promote Osama bin Laden’s ‘Terrorist Propaganda’ Tirade Dubbed ‘Letter to America’ After 9/11 Attacks
New York Post ^ | Nov. 16, 2023 | Thomas Barrabi

Posted on 11/16/2023 11:25:34 AM PST by nickcarraway

The text of an inflammatory “letter to America” from 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden has gone viral on TikTok and drawn praise from young users – and US lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are blasting the China-owned app for promoting “terrorist propaganda.”

In the letter, bin Laden claimed that he orchestrated the deadly attacks on the World Trade Center that killed nearly 3,000 Americans because the US “attacked us in Palestine.”

The terrorist also described the creation of Israel as a “crime which must be erased.” The Guardian, which had published the full text of the letter in 2002, pulled down the letter on Wednesday, citing the fact in a statement that it was being “widely shared on social media without the full context. Therefore we have decided to take it down and direct readers to the news article that originally contextualized it instead.”

If they like Osama bin Laden’s letter then they are just going to love Mein Kampf.

The Osama letter was just a regurgitation of domestic left wing, anti war propaganda. It is a myth that America united after 9/11. The day after 9/11 the left began its anti war campaign with the trope that America had it coming. The scum at NYT, WaPo, Yale and Harvard wrote the first draft of Osama’s letter.

UBL said in this letter: "we call you....to reject the immoral acts of fornication, homosexuality, intoxicants, gambling's, and trading with interest."

My guess is all the Gen-Z Tiktok historians lost interest at that point.....

The problem with the often-used term ‘influencer’ for the opinion issuers is that it presumes that the issuers actually influenced anyone. There are long standing terms for these people: columnists, public voices, talk show hosts, ...

My honest question to every poster on this thread....

Had you read or heard about Osama’s letter to the US before this TikTok story?

If not, ask yourself why not?

Have you ever heard any of the grievances of any of our enemies from their own mouths over the years? Why not?

Israel’s existence is not a ‘grievance’. No matter what some mad mo kook has to say or imbeciles who use a CCP backdoor think

This is the real bound between the US and Israel.

The same anti West forces feel both the US and Israel are on stolen land with no right to exist.

They work tirelessly to achieve their goal.

So, you won’t even for one second, ponder why the American people don’t know the reasons that our enemies state for attacking us.

It’s almost as if the operation mockingbird media doesn’t want us to know the full story.

If their reasons were so bad, why wouldn’t our government controlled media shout them out from the rooftops?

The nazis and the tojos used the same grievance crap to justify their militaristic adventures. Muslims have no legitimate grievances about anything

Muslims need no reason to carry out their barbarity.. They are commanded to chop heads off, kill, rape etc etc. Al qaeda, Isis, hamas are what you get when muslims get serious about their devotion to mad mo’s death cult.

The government hates TikTok because they can’t censor its content like they’ve done with US social media in the past.
