Empires, Anarchy & Other Notable Moments

This is the fifth in a series of seven episodes regarding the terrorist leader of Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden.  The September 11th attacks permanently changed the course of world history.  In this episode, I walk through the timeline, Bin Laden's thoughts, and the immediate actions of President Bush.  Along the way, I attempt to debunk the main conspiracies that emerged from the attacks as well as offering praise for the first responders and the victims of United 93.

This is the fourth in a series of seven episodes regarding the terrorist leader of Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden.  Al Qaeda had officially declared war, but left the next move up to the United States.  It was here that Bill Clinton (and then George W. Bush) would come up short.  Despite the Bin Laden Task force screaming for action, the Monica Lewinsky affair and Hollywood's decision to release 'Wag the Dog' starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert DeNiro, took precedent.

This is the third in a series of seven episodes regarding the terrorist leader of Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden.  After successfully participated in the defeat of the Soviet Union, bin Laden returns home to Saudi Arabia expecting a hero's welcome.  The rise of regional threat Saddam Hussein encourages him to once again put down his construction work in favor of a Mujahideen's ak-47.  His offer for help, however, is rejected in favor of the American desert shield.  What follows involves an escape from house arrest, a return to Afghanistan, and a new home established in Sudan.  Along the way, Osama bin Laden begins his war against America; convinced that the West is a Paper Tiger.

This is the second in a series of seven episodes regarding the terrorist leader of Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden.  This episode dives deeper into the terrorists radicalization through two separate events.  In the first one, Osama was shocked to see terrorists assault the Grand Mosque, the site of the House of God.  In the second instance, Osama would feel as though he was called to serve; first as financier and then as a full fledge guerrilla warrior against the = Soviet Union, an atheist entity that had just been invited to invade the Islamic nation of Afghanistan.  It remains the single most important war that you never studied in school.

This is the first in a series of seven episodes regarding the terrorist leader of Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden.  This episode covers his formative years, looking into some of the misconceptions that many have regarding Islam, his untypical upbringing by his parents, and his exposure to fundamentalist ideas.  I also examine some of the key events that happen in the same year that his father dies in a plane crash; specifically the 1967 Israeli Six Day War.  That conflict, even more than the creation of Israel at the expense of a Palestine state was a wake up call for the region and the men who would go on to influence the 9/11 mastermind.
