Reflections From a Murky Pond

Google, the internet search giant and greatest controlling force on the internet, keeps track of what you search for and, while they claim that they don’t sell this information to 3rd-parties, they do bundle it together so as to better sell you to those 3rd-parties.

Google Knows What You’ve Been Searching For

You might want to remember that Google is watching and remembering while you’re cruising the web and searching for stuff, especially you freaks in Lahore, Pakistan.

Yo, Chutiya! You’re taking a lot more into your own hands than you think if the Islamists surrounding you find out what you’re doing on the web.

But before any of us complain too stridently about this, let’s all take a moment to remember something else:

If you are not paying for it, you’re not the customer; you’re the product being sold.

– Andrew Lewis aka blue_beetle

That’s pretty much how it goes in the real word which, despite the best efforts of fools, the internet is part and parcel of. So enjoy yourselves, but remember that it’s Google giving you that feeling of being watched while you….whatever.

The Obama Regime has decided to not provide photographic or video evidence of Osama bin Laden’s extermination. They’ve stated a plethora of reasons for this and more pragmatic ones – read as election-based realpolitik – can be inferred from the current political situation.

Be that as it may, members of the Pakistani “security forces” got photos of the kill zone shortly after DEVGRU un-assed the area of operations. They promptly sold them to Reuters.

Thus we have some visual evidence of what form Osama bin Laden’s extermination took, and that only due to the by now all too expected graft and corruption of ISI personnel.

It’s not completely satisfying but it as close as were likely to get. Oh well, half a pie – or even a narrow slice – is better than none at all.

This randi ke bachai that the Pakis have sent to America as Ambassador, Hussain Haqqani isn’t very happy right now. He and what passes for the Pakistani government don’t like being publicly outed as being in bed with the Muslim terrorist vermin.

Specifically, Haqqani is bitching and moaning that the US shouldn’t  cast blame upon Pakistan for not finding Osama bin Laden because we’ve had criminals like Whitey Bulger hide out and escape retribution for long periods of time as well.

As Tom Scocca at Slate pointed out quite well, he’s absolutely right:

In a phone conversation with the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg yesterday, Pakistani ambassador Husain Haqqani challenged the notion that his country should have been able to notice Osama bin Laden’s hiding place:

“If Whitey Bulger can live undetected by American police for so long, why can’t Osama bin Laden live undetected by Pakistani authorities?” Haqqani asked.

It’s cute of Haqqani to be reading the Most Wanted List for other examples of hard-to-apprehend fugitives. But Whitey Bulger probably isn’t the one he wants to discuss.

For the record, James “Whitey” Bulger was able to rule Boston’s criminal underworld in large part because he was an informant protected by the FBI—even as he allegedly murdered people. It also didn’t hurt that his brother, William Bulger, was the president of the Massachusetts State Senate. When the Justice Department finally moved to arrest Whitey Bulger anyway, he was tipped off by his corrupt contacts in the FBI and the Boston police.

The bache baz ka kuti unwittingly made an good point. The only way that James “Whitey” Bulger escaped retribution was through governmental corruption and collusion; the same likely holds true for Osama bin Laden.

Yet Pakistan expects America to believe that they’re are allies in the War on Terror and to pay heed to the jabberings of creatures like Hussain Haqqani.

Why? Because Osama bin Laden “hiding out” in a large compound less than a mile from the Pakistani Military Academy and less than 35 miles from their capital, Islamabad is such strong evidence that he had any reason whatsoever to fear them “finding” him?
