$25 Million for Osama and $15.8 Billion for the 9/11 Widows?

Why is the reward for Osama Bin Ladin ONLY $25 million?

www.fbi.gov...

and yet...

Why did the US government pay the widows of the World Trade center $15.8 Billion in death settlements?

9/11 Victims Compensation Averaged 3.1 Million Each, when including government payouts, insurance settlements and charitable contributions.

A new report by the Rand Institute for Social Justice says that victims of the 9/11 attacks received a total of $15.8 billion in GOVERNMENT compensation.

Does $15.8 Billion buy silence?

It sure does have that appearance. Speak up about your doubts of the official story and be denied $3 million, or keep your mouth shut and enjoy the windfall.

Lets see, choose pain and suffering or never worry about another mtg. payment ever again.


Tough choice.

Large sums of money have the amazing ability to make people "get over things".

Usama Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998, bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. These attacks killed over 200 people. In addition, Bin Laden is a suspect in other terrorist attacks throughout the world

FBI Most Wanted

I also find it most interesting the reasons listed for Bin Laden being on the wanted list - no direct mention of him being behind the WTC attacks

Is this because the FBI know he didn't really do it or just lazy website maintenance?

Its 50 million right now on his head. And for the FBI they just don't update it.

FBI: Hey CIA, can we have Osama bin Laden?
CIA: No
FBI: okie dokie then

~~

the popular consensus is that 3,000 people died as a result of 9-11
and IF the average settlement was $3,000,000. per family/widow/widower

Then, mathematically that totals up to 9 Billion Dollars !!

$ 3,000,000.oo X 3,000 = $ 9,000,000,000.oo

but if the government only paid out $15.8 Billion then somebody's juggling the numbers..
..or something!

You are correct. I took a closer look at the numbers.

The attacks killed 2,551 civilians (i.e., non-emergency-response personnel) and seriously injured another 215. The vast majority of these victims and their families sought compensation through the VCF. This group received a total of $8.7 billion in benefits, or an average of $3.1 million per recipient. Sixty-nine percent of the benefits came from the government, 23 percent from insurance, and 8 percent from charities.

Emergency Responders. - The attacks killed or seriously injured approximately 425
emergency responders. This group received a total of $1.9 billion in benefits, or about $1.1 million more on average than a civilian with similar economic loss. Most of these funds (about three-quarters) came from the government, and the remainder came from charities.

Why did the government feel compelled to distribute money to the victims families?
Guilt?; a desire to take care of widows and orphans?; or is it HUSH money ment to stop the victims families from becomming martyrs in the crusade for truth?

Most of the victims weren't govenrment workers; we don't live in a socialist system where the government pays for social welfare; look at all the broken families already out there (No-one cares about them); I maintain that it is hush money.

$50 million for Osama? What a joke, these people are freakin brainwashed for the cause. You gotta offer them eternal salvation or something. Offer one billion dollars and I bet Osama turns himself in.

It would save us at least a Trillion or two from having to occupy Afganistan and Iraq. But finding Osama isn't what this war is all about.

What kind of reward you expect the govt. should give? 72 virgins + the 50 million+ a couple of square miles of modified land turned into Paradise along with Hashish ? Jeez.

Why not?

How about 72 million and 72 prostitutes?

Why wait for heavan, get your reward now.

Some of these hijackers supposably went to a strip club before getting on thier repective flights. They either wanted to see a naked woman before they died, or they wanted to reinforce thier beliefs that women were part of the problem. If you aren't playing on thier beliefs what are you doing? Just wasting everyones time?

This is because there is no evidence linking osama to the 9/11 attacks, beside the alleged video in which someone purporting to be osama takes responsibility for the attacks.
