Remembering 9/11 and remembering History.

A bit mind opening.

Via 9Gag.com @2013

Let's put things short, why did a man that had caused deaths and being in most-wanted list dies in his home? All I know about US enemies are either died in captivity (various Nazi and Communist leader/partisan), in a jungle (Che Guevara), in a battlefield (Muammar Gaddafi), or executed (Saddam Hussein). Shortly, they dies while doing their things.

And then they found Osama with his wife and relatives in a house, they came in with Special Forces and "shoot" him in "self-defense". To me, it was like assassination rather than to capture him alive.

If Osama did became US enemy, he would probably hiding in caves, military compound, jungle, or die in terrorism act. Knowing that all the world is gonna shit fury on him, wasn't good idea to stay in one country for long period of time... Especially buying large house and live there while his "counterparts" are doing Jihad somewhere. To make things complicated, bin Laden family and Bush family were... business partner.

For me, it was like busting drug dealers and other criminal organization rather than "War on Terror" thingy. You know, they way that drug lords and other criminal king do, they stay in one place for long periods of time to manage their business. At best, they only switching safe houses to evade authority. Not to mention that Afghanistan also produce cocaine. And there's certain indication that whoever holds Afghanistan cocaine field, they have the money necessary to buy weapons... or to buy alliance with any country. In this case, Osama had those fields. He bought the warlords there, he bought intelligence report, he bought smart people ready to die for false cause, he bought everything he need to make his plan go smoothly. In short, he had almost everything in his hand to make conspiracy goes wild. One thing he can't buy yet, US supremacy.

Mainstream media said, Osama hiding in Afghanistan and Pakistan all the time. He is. But it takes 10 years to bust him? Sounds like a conspiracy for me. Why? See here for short.

"They were trying to doing bigger things together. For the profit of two. Bush said to 'blow the world' so that US can came in and try to buy trust from the world, like increasing US economy and political power. Osama ask shares and cover from US conspirator that he would not be taken by justice.They agreed. They do it, and 9/11 is a failure, exceeding their worst calculation. Their plans backfired. US facing even greater danger from terrorism act than before 9/11. Osama, failed to receive cover up he needs, fled and goes into hiding. He hid where Taliban and Al-Qaeda operates. His relation with both factions are good, Taliban were trained by CIA against Soviet invasion in 1979-1989. Young Osama was there.

Bush and conspirator, tried to save Osama. They provide, along with CIA co-conspirator, US intelligence and clandestine support for him to go uncovered. Meanwhile, things changed. US under new government seek to enact justice. Keep on going to catch the real culprit. Conspirator, seeing that US are getting closer to bust them, seeing that Osama can't be saved further and to release the ropes that burden them, betrays Osama. And there you go, Death of Osama bin Laden."



Well, that's just me. Me and my eyes on how seeing things in the world.

En Masse's TERA Online Blocks IP based on Region (that have been used by hacker) with racial statement?

TERA Online
Joy to the players and fans of TERA Online! This action-packed MMORPG has been waited and highly anticipated by most as best MMORPG, as it will officially launched in May 2012, available in American continent, European, and Oceania. Of course there are limited restriction to play from other region based on company agreement by En Masse Entertainment as publisher and the developer of TERA Online , Bluehole Studio.

IP Block Restriction


While En Masse trying to block hacking network from and to TERA Online MMORPG, but the statement could be seen as racial discrimination, as written here : "... unfortunate that the vast majority of Internet traffic we see from these regions are from cyber-criminals relating to account theft, gold-farming and other hacking behavior". We know that IP block or restriction in European TERA Online also occurs but in country basis per company agreement which we know it won't be publicly available :)

While plenty people would understand that hacking and account theft are serious problems, but did all Asians, Arabians, and others are all hackers and conducting in fraudulent behavior? (We know that not every people are evil, so why don't they block per personal basis like restrict IP that have been reported used by hackers and other criminal activity)

While services and internet traffic is occur from any part of the world, hackers and e-theft are working from each home, each country like US, UK, in Europe region, and so.

Why exclusion are just made for specific region? Africa, Asia, Russia, and Middle East... Or this could be seen as En Masse-Blue Hole tactics to evade lawsuit from Asia (mainly from NCSoft that has its firm grip on Asian market) because the story and controversy of Copyright Infringement ?


Well, all we players can do is a quick resolve and of course, launch the game quickly :)

Osama bin Laden killed?

According to a few web news, Osama is killed in battle with U.S Spec Ops at Pakistani border. Declaring “justice has been done,” President Obama announced late Sunday that Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces in Pakistan, marking the end of the worldwide manhunt that began nearly a decade ago on Sept. 11, 2001.

Obama, in his address to the nation shortly before midnight, thanked the Americans who have toiled in pursuit of bin Laden and applauded those who carried out the successful mission in Pakistan. Describing that mission only briefly, he said its result “is a testament to the greatness of our country.”

“For over two decades, bin Laden has been Al Qaeda’s leader and symbol,” Obama said. “The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat Al Qaeda.”

Senior administration officials, in a briefing with reporters, afterward said the administration had determined by February that they would pursue the compound "custom built to hide someone of significance" in Pakistan. This decision led to a series of national security meetings starting in March to develop a course of action. Obama gave the final order to pursue the operation on April 29, officials said.

The house was 100 yards from the gate of the Kakul Military Academy, an army-run institution where top officers train. A Pakistan intelligence official said the property where bin Laden was staying was 3,000 square feet.

At 3:30 p.m. EST, a 40-man Navy Seals squadron raided a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, killing the Al Qaeda leader with a bullet to the head.

Four Chinook and Blackhawk helicopters dropped 24 men on the compound. One helicopter suffered a "hard landing" inside the compound after experiencing a mechanical failure and had to be destroyed on the site, according to one defense official.

There was a large shootout. The residents at the compound resisted. The total raid took 40 minutes.

Who is Osama bin Laden?

The son of a wealthy Saudi construction family, Bin Laden grew up in a privileged world. But soon after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan he joined the mujahideen there and fought alongside them with his Arab followers, a group that later formed the nucleus for al-Qaeda.
After declaring war on America in 1998, Bin Laden is widely believed to have been behind the bombings of US embassies in East Africa, the attack on the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000 and the attacks on New York and Washington in September 2011.


Reaction

World leaders welcomed the news of Bin Laden's death.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Bin Laden had "paid for his actions".

Pakistani PM Yusuf Raza Gilani said the killing was a "great victory" but added that he "didn't know the details" of the US operation.

Former US President George W Bush described the news as a "momentous achievement".

"The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done," Mr Bush said in a statement.

But a spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban threatened revenge attacks against the "American and Pakistani governments and their security forces".

In Gaza, which is governed by militant group Hamas, Prime Minister Ismail Haniya condemned the killing of "a Muslim and Arabic warrior".
