Osama Bin Laden TikTok Influencer!

(00:00.45)

So who knew Osama bin Laden from the grave is now a social media influencer, a TikTok influencer. And again, all across the mainstream media, politicians, Congress, they’ve all got the vapors. Oh my God, it’s the TikTok and the Chinese own TikTok is pushing this. And oh my God, how terrible this is. And now…

TikTok is going out in reaction and scrubbing, scrubbing their social media network of the influencers here in America that are pushing Osama Bin Laden’s letter to America. And if you recall, this was put out in 2012, if I’m not mistaken. I think it was a year after. Anyway, so yeah.

Osama bin Laden has gone viral. Users have been posting videos to TikTok, and again, the Chinese-owned app, urging their followers to read the, yes, 2002 Letter to America, while suggesting he was onto something, and some of the things that these influencers are saying. I will never look at this country the same. And it’s got hundreds of thousands of views.

TikTok says it is aggressively removing such content. And I quote, the number of videos on TikTok is small and reports of it trending on our platform are inaccurate. And then it said, it blamed critics and journalists for noticing, saying that all the attention was driving more traffic to the posts. Yeah, there’s no doubt they’re not wrong there. Actually, The Guardian, for crying out loud, actually unpublished its copy.

of Osama Bin Laden’s letter that was posted in 2002 because it was being too widely shared on social media without the full context. I’m gonna throw something at you here. Again, I know, I want everybody to take a step back and think for a second. What is more frightening? What’s more frightening? The fact that we have a lot of idiots in this world, well, you know that already. I mean, you can see, they’ve been doing man on the street interviews.

for years, for years. And they’re getting worse and worse and worse. They do them on college campuses, how dumb these kids are. What’s scarier? Some empty headed college kid, young person, influencer with five piercings in their face, all of a sudden finding, you know.

finding themselves in Osama bin Laden’s letter. What is that? Is that scarier or is it, to me, it’s more frightening at the fact that we’re looking to censor.

looking to censors, want to tear this down, want to tear down what these people say, we’re taking down Osama bin Laden’s letter. Why would you do that? You’re just giving it more credence, are you not? You see people, you can’t get a little bit pregnant when it comes to free speech. You’re either for free speech or you’re against free speech. Can’t be, free speech is not just a speech that you like. Do you understand?

It’s not just the things that you like, it’s the things that you don’t like. That’s how it works. And all of these people, oh yeah, social media’s gotta do more, it’s gotta scrub their pages, gotta take this down, gotta take that down. Why?

Why? You’ve got kids making fools out of themselves praising this stuff. And if you’re out there, you’re worried about people, all of influencers saying this, what if my kid sees it? What if your kid sees it? If you’ve done your freaking job as a parent, a-hole, sorry, your kids would see it for what it is. Stupid.

(04:17.238)

You’re obviously neglecting your kids if they’re able to be influenced by an influencer with five freaking piercings in their face. That’s on you. Mr. Miyagi said, no such thing, bad student, only bad teacher. The problem lies with this country. We don’t educate kids properly. We don’t raise our kids properly. Oh, I was so afraid. You know, all these, I don’t have to think of all the presidential candidates. Oh, we gotta do more.

Most of what Nikki Haley keeps saying is that it’s the cheapest form of warfare is spreading misinformation. It wouldn’t be if people had half a brain. I’m sorry, I don’t mean to… I’m getting hot and bothered here, but think, people!

What you are advocating for, okay, what Nikki Haley, what many of these other candidates are advocating for, is quite frankly totalitarian.

Totalitarian, guess what I did yesterday? I heard about this story and I went and I, I don’t remember the full Osama Bin Laden Letter to America and I went and I looked it up and I read it.

Well, you want to have that taken off the internet? Should we, should we erase, I don’t know, Mein Kampf.

(05:44.224)

Should that be stricken? Should we burn all that? Or should we learn from that?

Well, Communist Manifesto for crying out loud. How many people had to read that when they were in college? I did it to turn me into a communist. I read it. It was ridiculous to me.

Again, people stop censoring things, okay? What you’re basically saying is, and you might believe this at this point in time, I’m sure certain people do. Certain people may believe that, you know what, we’ve gotten to a point in time, we’re just that dumb. And we need other people to think for us and tell us what to think. And I’m sorry, I’ve had it with this social media stuff. Everybody wants to blame social media. I can’t stand social media. I can’t stand the negativity, any of that crap.

but give me a fricking break. Like the mainstream media has been such a great alternative. How much misinformation has been shoved down our throats from the mainstream media over the past few decades, from pushing from every bloody war that was out there, weapons to mass destruction, all the COVID nonsense.

Fake but true documents, George W. Dan Rather. I can go on and on and on. Misinformation? What, you think that just comes from social media?

(07:24.158)

It’s everywhere people. And again, the funny thing is, if you do a little bit of homework and you study a little bit and you read a little bit, you’ve gotta be able to, and it’s this stuff you gotta teach your kid, you gotta teach him how to think. Look deeper, provide more context.

Now you can learn some things, but there’s nothing to learn. There’s nothing we can pick up from. From Osama bin Laden’s letter to America and his grievances against this country. Yeah, you should read it. Why shouldn’t you?

Isn’t that where are these people? What’s their thinking? Where are they coming from as misguided, as misguided as he was, as awful as he was? And again, some of the wacky things. I mean, I’m shocked you get these left wing influencers there. You read through this letter. This guy.

I think it could basically kill all the homosexuals that are out there. Anybody who thinks slightly different than they do, they’re non-believers, you’re gone. You find that as an attractive alternative? I guess some might.

And again, I would suggest, you know what? It might make for a great reality show, as a matter of fact. We can’t we, you know, call up, hey, you know, because again, they love attention. Why don’t we say, hey, you know what? We’re going to have all of you people who are loving this bid line stuff. We’re going to we’re going to send you off to live in Afghanistan. We’re going to send you off to live in Afghanistan. Now, I don’t know. We’d have to get approval from the Taliban there to kind of, you know, track their life there. But make for.

(09:13.459)

Must see TV if you ask me.

But again, people, what do you fear more? What these people that like to censor things? What you’re saying is, is that we’ve gotten to a point in time in this country where we’re so stupid, as it were collectively, we’re so stupid that the folks in Washington, oh, because I trust them a whole hell of a lot, are gonna have to, they’re gonna have to have some sort of.

Ministry of Truth, right? Yeah, we’ll do, you know, we’ll Orwell style. That’ll be the next thing. We’ll have a Ministry of Truth czar. Yeah, we love our czars here in this country. Obama started that whole thing. Basically, tell us what information we can handle and we can take.

Anyway, yeah, kind of reminded me of that scene in Men in Black where Tommy Lee Jones is telling Will Smith’s character there why they don’t tell everybody about the aliens. He said, you know, I, you know, person is smart, but people are dumb. And again, some degree that’s true. But would you rather have the alternative?

Anyway, again, people, again, you’re either for free speech or you’re against free speech. It’s it’s you can’t have it both ways. Watchdog on wallstreet.com.
