In George Orwell’s 1984 Emmanuel Goldstein is a character that is never actually seen, or heard from.  While Goldstein is never really seen, in the story, one might suspect, that he is merely an invention, of the Ministry of Truth, for propaganda purposes.

In the story, 1984, Goldstein is purported to be a former member, of the ruling class, that rebels, and becomes the leader of, a group of rebels, known as, The Brotherhood. Likewise, The Brotherhood, is never really seen, and may not even exist.

You see, both Goldstein, and the Brotherhood, are propaganda tools, used by The Party, to cement loyalty to Big Brother, during an event, known as, The Two Minutes Hate.

Our old Emmanuel Goldstein

Osama Bin Laden has served in the role, as Emmanuel Goldstein, since 2001. No one has seen him, and we are told, that he has commanded, the CIA creation, Al-Qaeda, from a cave in Afghanistan. The American Proletarians were told to believe that Al-Qaeda, and radical Muslims in general, attacked us because they hate the way that we live.

Through the daily two minutes hate, from the telescreen, OBL, our Emmanuel Goldstein, has been directing, the evil forces from a cave, in a far away place. Which keeps the American Proletarians in a state of fear, ever ready, to give up freedoms, and liberties.

Despite FBI testimony, before the United States Congress, that there is no evidence linking OBL, to the 9/11 attacks, the Proletarians have adhered to the OBL boogey man.

Emmanuel Goldstein is dead

Increasingly, the Proletarians, are becoming aware, that OBL might be dead. The idea that, the sickly OBL, is receiving dialysis treatment, in a cave, in Afghanistan, as absurd as it sounds, is fading.

Veterans Today, which has since pulled the story, reported that OBL is dead. Thanks to people reposting we can read this;

Conservative commentator, former Marine Colonel Bob Pappas has been saying for years that bin Laden died at Tora Bora and that Senator Kerry’s claim that bin Laden escaped with Bush help was a lie. Now we know that Pappas was correct. The embarassment of having Secretary of State Clinton talk about bin Laden in Pakistan was horrific. He has been dead since December 13, 2001 and now, finally, everyone, Obama, McChrystal, Cheney, everyone who isn’t nuts is finally saying what they have known for years.

However, since we lost a couple of hundred of our top special operations forces hunting for bin Laden after we knew he was dead, is someone going to answer for this with some jail time? Since we spent 200 million dollars on "special ops" looking for someone we knew was dead, who is going to jail for that? Since Bush, Rumsfeld and Cheney continually talked about a man they knew was dead, now known to be for reasons of POLITICAL nature, who is going to jail for that? Why were tapes brought out, now known to be forged, as legitimate intelligence to sway the disputed 2004 election in the US? This is a criminal act if there ever was one

Those of us, that paid attention, knows that confirmation came, through DNA samples, in February, of 2002.

We need a new Emmanuel Goldstein

We, the Proletarians, need a new Emmanuel Goldstein to keep us afraid. The Government has tried to accommodate us, but it just hasn’t worked.

Recently, the FBI, has even tried to make an OBL composite from the face of this man, Gaspar Llamazares,  a Spanish Politician.

Before;

After;

You can read the story, FBI admits Spanish politician was model for ‘high-tech’ Osama bin Laden photo-fit, from the Telegraph.

Our new Emmanuel Goldstein

In the new traditions, of Emmanuel Goldstein’s, he is directing Islamic Terrorists from a cave in Yemen.

So, please be afraid, be a good Proletarian, and give up more of your freedoms.
