Saw this posted on Facebook by a wacky relative who posts all sorts of fringe political stuff.

You'll note that all the links provided as sources list different ways he supposedly died, different dates of death, and always seem to have some official source saying something along the lines of "we have no proof he's dead".

Essentially, the article's own sources contradict the article.

Still, would it shock anyone if he were dead?

The biggest problem I had with the article is that it ignores all the political capital that could be won by either party's president by revealing his death or any type of cover up. It also ignores how much more Obama means to Al Qaeda alive than he does dead to us. Especially if he died of natural causes, which would deny him becoming a martyr.

P.S. If you watch that video, she does say he was murdered at the 6:07 mark, and lists who killed him. Weird.

That article makes moon hoaxers sound sane.

No kidding.

I'm trying to explain this to an uncle who questioned my motivations when I pointed out the article was BS, but I'm not sure I'm getting through.

He's very much into conspiracy theories and anti government stuff. Not really overthrow the government, but more "get them out of my life" stuff. Proudly talks about joining militia groups and being "ready". I love the guy, but the only thing he's ready for is another assault on the buffet.

Well, back to the topic, no idea if he is alive or dead. Either way, I wouldn't be surprised. There's been no concrete evidence of him either way forever.

So, it's natural that people try to fill the void one way or another. But I'm not sure it matters if he's alive or dead, more importantly.

If he's dead, he either died of natural or unnatural causes.

If the former, you'd think somehow we'd hear about it and broadcast it. It's not like there's a shortage of wackos that want the Great Satan/Babylon/Western Harlot/whatever destroyed, so we've plenty of other psychos to rally against. It'd be an event too huge to keep under wraps for long, as well, particularly the decade or so the article is claiming.

If the latter, unless he died fucking a camel or something, his men would use his death as an excuse to kick off a new campaign of blowing themselves up, in which case we'd know about it.

Either (a) his men are unbelievably good at keeping secrets, (b) circumstances of his death detract from his "cause," or © he's still alive in a cave somewhere. I'm going ©.

The man's kidneys were failing when 9/11 happened. He's 'holed' up in a Pakistani hospital surrounded by their intelligence agency since they're all Taliban anyway.

Eh, Pakistani hospital = cave.

As Gordon implied...he's dead.
