Conspiracy Theories Link Birds Point Levee Bombing With Osama Bin Laden's Death

by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

It seems an illogical stretch, but conspiracy theorists in the Mid-West are putting two and two together and coming up with one as their answer. Someone is reclaiming some of the richest farmland in America with the Birds Point Levee bombing by the Army Corp of Engineers just after 10:00 p.m. on Monday night, May 2nd.

"Yep, they sacrificed the farmland to save the 3,000 citizens of Cairo, Illinois. Those citizens could be evacuated. Our farmland could not be moved and putting aside fears that toxic river sludge will degrade the land, it will remain one of the richest river delta agricultural production areas well into the future. With the decision to blow the levee the insurance companies that protect the farmers against catastrophic "acts of God"....a technical term that courts have long used as a benchmark for determining insurance liability....will be off the hook and the farmers will be on their own. Without funds to rebuild, they will be forced to sell at reduced prices. In come the big ag-companies like ConAgra or Archer Daniels Midland and other major agriculture companies. The U.N. Oil for Food scandal proved that people are not now, nor ever have been above using food as a weapon," said Meyers Hickman of New Madrid, Missouri.

Mr. Hickman also had some concern that the timing of the announcement of the Osama Bin Laden capture and death coincided with the same news cycle that would have shined a bright light on what was happening in the U.S. interior.

Gurveer Harjas

Gurveer Harjas lives next to the Abbottabad compound where Osama bin Laden was killed on Sunday, May 1st. The great grandson of a Sihk warrior of the Punjabi region of India, Gurveer has been teaching Indian and Pakistani history since earning his Master's Degree in Sikh Traditions in 1986.

British Col. James Abbott, India's "Lawrence
of Arabia", hero of the First and Second
Anglo-Sikh Wars and namesake of
Abbottabad, Pakistan which before 1947
was part of India, a key jewel in the
British Empire.

The average American has no idea that Abbottabad is named for India's "Lawrence of Arabia" an Englishman named James Abbott who fought in the First and Second Anglo-Sikh Wars. The Punjabi region of India has a special place in the history of the British Imperial ambitions in India. One must remember that Gandhi was a Hindu, not a Sikh. Sikh's are India's warrior class with a clear distinction from the Muslim and Hindu and Christian elements of India. The Abbottabad region of Pakistan was part of India before the creation of Pakistan in August, 1947 at which time millions of Muslims moved from India to Pakistan and millions of Hindus and Sikhs moved to India. "If one were looking for a potential Sikh stronghold in the region, Abbottabad could not make a finer candidate," said Gurveer who also noted that a post card written in the Punjabi language of Gurmukhi script had been sent to him by a cousin.  The card read "Hit the Lion" and led Gurveer to conclude that Osama was either under house arrest or had an excellent sense of humor given his circumstances.

"The Sikh's are India's super warriors and they identified with the Brits after they were subjugated by them. They would make the logical alliance for those wanting to put Osama Bin Laden "on ice" so to speak, while waiting for an opportunity to announce his demise."

Meyers Hickman said that he was calling for a full investigation of the events leading up to the levee explosion including rain gauge levels from independent sources. He is also investigating the issue of who might feel that they have a historic claim to the agriculturally rich farmland of the Missouri Boot Heel which was originally gerrymandered by the John Hardeman Walker family to place it in a favorable position relative to the Missouri Compromise. "The other angle is that the insurance companies are off the hook, but the deeper pockets of FEMA and the Federal government are tapped as they were in Katrina or the rebuilding of Iraq and other government sponsored money gushers that the military and Army Corp of Engineers fueled with their decisions," said Hickman.  "The same forces that gerrymandered the Boot Heels' boundary line during the debate over the Missouri Compromise, still being in power in Washington and still pulling the strings."

"I'm also looking into which insurance companies got off the hook with the Army Corp of Engineer's decision and who at the top of the Army Corp of Engineers is most closely connected to these seemingly unrelated parties. I'm delighted that Osama Bin Laden is dead, but did we have to invade Iraq to get the son of the Saudi Royal Family's chief architect? Fifteen of the nineteen hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and we invaded Iraq. Something doesn't add up. I'm glad that President Obama is claiming responsibility for Bin Laden's capture and death, God knows if it happened on GWB's watch it would have jeopardized his longstanding economic relationship with the Saudi Royal Family which is also supporting his family's oil investments in Bahrain," said Mr. Hickman.  "But I'm a little concerned that Mrs. Michele Obama worked for the Springfield, Illinois law firm that represented Mrs. Mary Todd Lincoln and which like Lincoln, himself, was beholding to the railroad interests of Mr. Harriman of the Union Pacific Railroad which became Brown Brothers Harriman with its historic connections to Brown & Root.  Whenever it comes to their interests being protected patriotism for the U.S. becomes murky....like the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio flood waters," Hickman concluded.
