"Bin Laden Didn't Blow Up the Projects"

On both the textual and subtextual levels, this song speaks the truth. I've had it in my personal stash for a while now, but it seems only more apropos in the past few days.

Even thought there are easy ways to download songs for free, I'll tow Apple's line and repeat the words printed on the sticker you get when you open a new iPod: "Don't steal music."

Ha.

ARTIST: Immortal Technique f/ Mos Def
ALBUM: Bin Laden 12"
SONG: Bin Laden

LYRICS :
[Mos Def - talking]
Man, you hear this bullshit they be talkin'
Every day, man
It's like these motherfuckers is just like professional liars
YouknowwhatI'msayin? It's wild
Listen

[Hook - Mos Def]
Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects
It was you, nigga
Tell the truth, nigga
(Bush knocked down the towers)--[Jadakiss]
Tell the truth, nigga
(Bush knocked down the towers)--[Jadakiss]
Tell the truth, nigga

Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects
It was you, nigga
Tell the truth, nigga
(Bush knocked down the towers)--[Jadakiss]
Tell the truth, nigga
(Bush knocked down the towers)--[Jadakiss]

[Verse 1 - Immortal Technique]
I pledge no allegiance, nigga fuck the president's speeches
I'm baptized by America and covered in leeches
The dirty water that bleaches your soul and your facial features
Drownin' you in propaganda that they spit through the speakers
And if you speak about the evil that the government does
The Patriot Act'll track you to the type of your blood
They try to frame you, and say you was tryna sell drugs
And throw a federal indictment on niggaz to show you love
This shit is run by fake Christians, fake politicians
Look at they mansions, then look at the conditions you live in
All they talk about is terrorism on television
They tell you to listen, but they don't really tell you they mission
They funded Al-Qaeda, and now they blame the Muslim religion
Even though Bin Laden, was a CIA tactician
They gave him billions of dollars, and they funded his purpose
Fahrenheit 9/11, that's just scratchin' the surface

[Hook - Mos Def]
Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects
It was you, nigga
Tell the truth, nigga
(Bush knocked down the towers)--[Jadakiss]
Tell the truth, nigga
(Bush knocked down the towers)--[Jadakiss]
Tell the truth, nigga

Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects
It was you, nigga
Tell the truth, nigga
(Bush knocked down the towers)--[Jadakiss]
Tell the truth, nigga
(Bush knocked down the towers)--[Jadakiss]

[Verse 2 - Immortal Technique]
They say the rebels in Iraq still fight for Saddam
But that's bullshit, I'll show you why it's totally wrong
Cuz if another country invaded the hood tonight
It'd be warfare through Harlem, and Washington Heights
I wouldn't be fightin' for Bush or White America's dream
I'd be fightin' for my people's survival and self-esteem
I wouldn't fight for racist churches from the south, my nigga
I'd be fightin' to keep the occupation out, my nigga
You ever clock someone who talk shit, or look at you wrong?
Imagine if they shot at you, and was rapin' your moms
And of course Saddam Hussein had chemical weapons
We sold him that shit, after Ronald Reagan's election
Mercenary contractors fightin' a new era
Corporate military bankin' off the war on terror
They controllin' the ghetto, with the failed attack
Tryna distract the fact that they engineerin' the crack
So I'm strapped like Lee Malvo holdin' a sniper rifle
These bullets'll touch your kids, and I don't mean like Michael
Your body be sent to the morgue, stripped down and recycled
I fire on house niggaz that support you and like you
Cuz innocent people get murdered in the struggle daily
And poor people never get shit and struggle daily
This ain't no alien conspiracy theory, this shit is real
Written on the dollar underneath the Masonic seal

(I don't rap for dead presidents
I'd rather see the president dead
It's never been said but I set precedents)--[Eminem]

[Hook - Mos Def]
Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects
It was you, nigga
Tell the truth, nigga
(Bush knocked down the towers)--[Jadakiss]
Tell the truth, nigga
(Bush knocked down the towers)--[Jadakiss]
Tell the truth, nigga

Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects
It was you, nigga

Some cowards fucked with the wrong building, they meant to hit ours)-- [Eminem]

Uhhhhhhhhhh, I'm sorry. Speaks the truth? Am I missing some greater irony or is this more of the same delusion we've seen treated as serious political comment of late?

Must hose vomit from wastebasket now.

[Anon]

This is my last visit to your site. I'd read you regularly, partially out of sympathy for the uncalled-for racial abuse that one reader had given you before, and partially because you had an interesting post about prostitutes once. This post, however, has convinced me that you're just a self-loathing asshole who isn't stable enough to prosper in the real, non-academic, non-artistic world. I suppose I'm now obligated to explain.

After reading this post, all I could do at first was to shake my head and wonder what makes intelligent people capable of such stupidity. I have given long and careful thought to what drives a person to violently pound unwelcome and uncontrovertable facts into unsupportable, pathos-feeding alternative realities like this one. I'd probably need a degree in abnormal psychology to understand it fully, but I suspect the professionals will come close to this: logic-defying hatred of one's country and society are extensions of hatred of the self. You are obviously one deeply disturbed, unhappy, unloved pup.

The people who died on that day were mothers, brothers, husbands, wives, and children, and you've spat on their memories--on the heroes of Flight 93, of the people who jumped from the burning towers, on the people who said their last words to their loved ones on answering machines, on the firemen who ran back into the towers before they fell. Thank God no one reads this garbage, and that none but a few of your fevered hallucinations will never see how you have spat on these people. What a callous, selfish reaction you've had to their loss.

If your self-loathing has blinded you to logic, reason, and evidence, get therapy, but people like me--who have much to live for--will never let people like you--who, I very strongly suspect, don't--sign our collective signature to your suicide pact. Alternatively, you say you're glad to be an expat. We'd be glad if you'd remain one. The rest of us have to live in the real world and can't book tickets on your metaphorical exile from reality.

[Michael Hurt]

Well - "anon" (I think it says a lot that you don't sign your name to the things you post for public consumption, while I have the confidence in the validity of my assertions to sign my name to what I say) - I didn't think that my post would get me favorable reviews by some people.

But I have friends who were in that tower, too - thankfully, they got out, and I am painfully aware that many other unfortunate souls were not so lucky - and I am an American, just like you.

I approach my Americanness and my claim to responsible citizenship in a different manner than you. Instead of feeling the necessity of accepting the half-truths that the news media and the powers that be present to us, I want to find out more than the byline on CNN. If you understand that the short-sighted foreign policy of the United States led to us sleeping in the same beds in the past with the very people who are now our bitter enemies (the massive support of the US for Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, his Al-Quaeda network, as well as many other unsavories who don't happen to be problems right this minute) in the present, you'd see why I made that post.

You'd also see that our short-sighted DOMESTIC policies led to the problems that cropped up after Hurricane Katrina structurally mirror the short-sighted FOREIGN policies that I just talked about. If you were a bit more critical and demanding, if you expected more of America's beautiful set of ideals (e.g. egalitarianism, democracy, freedom), you'd see that we wouldn't have HAD a 9/11 if we had stuck to them. We wouldn't even HAVE extreme fundamentalism Islam if Iran (and the rest of the Middle East) hadn't become anti-American because the US, in a false panic about "Communism" during the 50's, hadn't taken out a democratically-elected leader (whom we didn't happen to like because he wanted to implement land redistribution, something idiotically labeled as "Communist" at the time) and installed a dictator - the Shah, whom the people rebelled against, resulting in the reactionary and fundamentalist Ayatollah, who was supported by an understandably anti-American populace.

We then aided Saddam with military advisors, chemical weapons, and direct shipment of weapons for him to fight Iran. None of these facts are in doubt. At all. They are just not emphasized, or even mentioned, on CNN. When Al-Queda became the prime suspect for the bombings, I waited for the full story to come out, how we set ourselves up for "blowback," as the author of the book with the name called it. And yes, I was one of the people who knew who Osama bin Laden was before 9/11, and yes, I did know he was a prime suspect responsible for the first WTC attack as well as two US embassies in Africa.

So, unlike the rest of America, which was busy wondering (out of mostly innocent ignorance, but yet the innocent ignorance that privelege brings) "Why do they hate us?" I was instead horrified to realize that these people had gotten to the point of hating us so much that they were able to commit such a horrible act. And with a little knowledge of real history, not empty feelings of superficial patriotism-when-it's-convenient, but as a concerned citizen of the United States, I began wondering what it was that we - as Americans - could do to make sure we didn't continue to work with or support people who could come back and do such horrible things to us.

I wondered about ways to put democracy back on track and wondered, along with many other Americans, how our foriegn policy had gotten so out of line with our nation's set of core beliefs. I wondered how it was that we were a country whose intelligence services actively worked against democratic movements in other nations (the CIA's long-documented assistance of the "Shining Path" in massacring dissenters i Peru, or that agency's ongoing cooperation with horribly oppressive regimes through institutions such as the School of the Americas, hosted at Fort Bragg, where most of the world's bullies and terrorists (at least as we view them now, after they were our friends) learned disinformation, interrogation, and torture techniques.

Is it an act of "self-loathing" to know about such things and find them disturbing? I don't like knowing that my tax money went and goes to supporting such horribly immoral acts and regimes, and I, as an American, have a right to think and say so. As long as I have a blue passport with an eagle on it, I feel I have a responsibility to know the whole story of the things done in my name and with my tacit approval.

So don't try to get on some high horse with me about who and how many people died as as a way to tell me to shut the hell up and get in line with all the "good" Americans. I - and the rapper in that song - are just as angry about 9/11 as any other rational person out there. But I am intellectually brave enough to look some parts of harsh reality in the eye and realize the irony of the situation - innocent Americans AND OUR SOLDIERS have to pay the ultimate price for the folly of our misguided and immoral foreign policies, as well as for the collective ignorance of the citizenry that enable them.

And in stating that "Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects," this citizen - who has as much right AS AN AMERICAN to say that as you do, he is simply pointing out the fact that these same structures of institutional neglect, racism, red-lining, educational inequalities, and ongoing patterns of self-segregation (white and upper-middle class black flight) have left the black underclass in America nothing more than bombed-out shells that resemble the parts of East Berlin I visited in 1990, which hadn't been rebuilt since WWII. And in a line, Immortal Technique points out what many sociologists, urban planners, and educational policymakers have continued pointing out for years: Who "bombed out" the projects?

What do black people have to fear most? Al-Quaeda? Or social policies created out of pure social meanness? Of course I feel for the victims of that horrible day on 9/11. What about the black children who have been slow, silent victims of the system for years? Decades? Generations? Who cries for them? Certainly not people like you.

When a building full of mostly white and mostly upper-class Americans goes down in a manner that would make even the most fantastic of Hollywood movies pale in comparison, man, many a tear is shed. And it is well that they should be, for human life is human life.

But the point here is that when they are BLACK lives, and they aren't on national news, and when they are blamed for their own collective plight, no one seems to even be able to muster a sniffle. And when that it pointed out, the messenger is just called a bleeding heart liberal, or Commie, or un-American, et cetera ad nauseum.

I think it's perfectly appropriate that this song rubbed you the wrong way, as did my post. But as a historian, I can tell you that expressions from Black America has always acted as the moral conscience of this country, whether it was self-educated black slaves who wrote to colonial newspapers asking the poignant question of why they were being denied actual freedom from bondage even as the Founding Fathers were lamenting their blockage from political participation as "slavery" to England, or as recently as the Civil Rights Movement, when African Americans stood up to the terrorist actions of whites in the South, or to having to drink from separate lunch counters, or to just having to sit in the back of the bus. Black folks usually have something to say worth listening to, and sometimes, it ain't pleasant to hear. And sometimes, it pisses other folks off.

In this sense, I think that song speaks a particular kind of "truth." I have no issue with the words that he spoke, or the content of his message, since the information conveyed in that song isat least within the realms of legitimate debate and documented fact as established within mainstream media outlets. That's why I made so many links withing the song lyrics.

If you looked beyond your blinding, superficial so-called "patriotism" and looked and listened a little more closely, you'd see that even the CIA has admitted to having been involved in what a lot of folks falsely think is still an urban myth - that the CIA was involved in running drugs for money to buy guns for the Contras. What do you think Oliver North was taking it up the ass for back in the days when I was a middle schooler? I didn't know what was going on then, but now I do. He was acting on behalf of his country, to fight the "Commies." But since the government had left his agenda out in the cold, he got his funding any way he could. And as the result of a long string of actions that weren't necessarily conscious, yet were still harmful all the same, black folks eventually paid the price.

The documents are in the public domain and their authenticity is not in dispute, dude. The CIA admitted its involvement, albeit years after the fact and under mounds of documents all written in bureaucratic doublespeak, but admitted nevertheless. But that wasn't front-page news.

In any case, there is another message there, one that I felt was appropriate for inclusion as the post-Katrina mess started becoming apparent. Warnings had been given for years and ignored. Most of the people left behind, without resources, were black and poor. Aid was slow in coming. Come on - had it been Manhattan Island in danger of being wiped off the map, there would have been assistance in place that would have made the Berlin Airlift look like a birthday care package from Auntie May in comparison.

Had there been white folks lying in their own filth, dying from starvation(!), or having to put the dead bodies of their loved ones in the rising waters - man, there would have been an airlift and assistance effort the likes of which the world had never seen, low numbers of troops or a few assholes taking potshots at helicopters trying to deliver food aside. Do you think that would have stopped anyone?

But when we see some people who ARE INDEED looters and shooters and assholes, most of whom are poor and black, doing these undeniably horrible things, they somehow come to stand for all black people. All the racist banter and hushed whispering (as well as the overt shouting going on at every and all white supremacist website) about "them" was quite simply disgusting. No one ever points out the obvious when it's white folks doing something - the example I like to give is that it is almost without question white males who engage in cases of mass or serial murder, as well as "going postal," but somehow, no one seems to point out that fact. When the Columbine incident happened, no one seemed to be pointing out that this was the end of a looong streak of maladjusted, upper-middle class white boys committing the same kind of acts. Imagine if such crimes were largely committed by African Americans. You think people wouldn't be pointing that out?

But when a few asshole exceptions out of a group of mostly poor black folks act a fool, there sure does seem to be a lot of "race-thinking" going on.

If you think that makes me crazy, so be it. But let me just say that I think you'd be crazy to ignore the obvious patterns of race and institutional neglect that are still extant in our society. Or at the very least, I'd have to say that you're woefully ignorant.

In any case, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. And I still value your opinion, which is why I don't delete posts just because I happen to disagree with them - even when people such as yourself inappropriately call my patriotism into question.

A great man - Senator William J. Fulbright, founder of the program encouraging international exchange that bears his name and the only politician who stood up to Joe Mccarthy - once said something that maybe could clear up my definition of what I call TRUE patriotism:

"Criticism, in short, is more than a right; it is an act of patriotism
– a higher form of patriotism, I believe, than the familiar rituals and
national adulation."

If you think that America needs less people like me, so be it. One of the reason I am happy not to be in America right now is because people like you seem to have taken over the public discourse and hijacked my nation's lofty ideals in exchange for a comfortable set of lies and half-truths.

If that makes me a "self-loathing asshole" so be it, too. I happen to think I'm a pretty well-adjusted, happy guy. From my point of view, when I look at your indignant-yet-anonymous post, I see a fellow American who seems to prefer the short-sighted approaches, misguided policies, and the simple-minded "patriotism" that doesn't question, but follows in lockstep any agenda put before him. Some people call that kind of blind, uncritical nationalist thinking "fascism," but let me stop before I get accused more of being something that I actually think YOU are.

YOU spit on the memories of all the 9/11 victims and the soldiers dying over in Iraq for oil by not looking deeper than the obvious line of bullshit that any intelligent American with miminal critical thinking skills should see right through.

Why don't you step out of your CNN/Fox/Disney world for a moment and look around a bit more?

Or, if that's the way you feel about my blog, I guess I'll have one less page view per week to worry about out of the nearly thousand that I already get.

Ooooh. Hurt me, baby.

[kotaji]

Excellent reply. Personally I doubt I would have had the patience to explain matters so well. I usually end up being rude to people like that.

By the way, the events of the last few years have inspired some other good political hip-hop like Dead Prez in the US and some good stuff in the UK too: Braintax and Task Force, GM Babyz, Unpeople, Double Negative. Actually, this stuff got me into listening to Hip-hop a lot more.

Considering that even such an 'industry' artist as Kanye West has recently spoken the truth on live TV I think we can expect some more Hip-hop commentary in the near future on events in New Orleans.

[Alien]

Yo, you dumb motherfuckers. This guy is right, listen to the lyrics you uneducated weed heads. Muslims are not the enemies its the Zinoist who controal everything. I bet they are having a good laugh seeing Muslims getting killed.

You guys need to wakeup man.

AT Anon.
Your post is the world's greatest proof of reincarnation; no one could get that dumb in just one lifetime. In future, kindly proofread your posts before assaulting unsuspecting readers of this message board with a litany of misspellings, egregious grammatical errors, and other verbal atrocities.

Are you normally this dumb or are you just having a blonde moment? Are you always this ignorant, or are you making a special effort today? Anyway

Don’t you ever have a point beyond giving your fingers some exercise by dancing them randomly over the keyboard? You're just another Internet-addicted idiot suffering from diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the mind. However, I'll consider letting you have the last word if you guarantee it will be your last. You bring to mind a quote from Josh Billing: "Doesn't know much, but leads the league in nostril hair."

You are about as entertaining as watching grass grow in a windowbox. What do you do for a living? You are living, aren't you? There's nothing wrong with you that couldn't be cured with a little Prozac and a polo mallet, or, better yet, suicide. Maybe you wouldn't be such a Jerk-In-The-Box if you weren't living proof that stupid people should not breed; if your weren't so fat that when you stand on the weighing scale, it reads: "To be continued!", or if you weren't uglier than the north-facing end of a south-bound mule. Nah, of course you would.

In conclusion, why don't you go away and play Russian roulette with all chambers fully-loaded?

[The Metropolitician]

Well, I won't dignify straight crazy, racist and anti-Semitic posts with a rebuttal, but will say that the song referred to in this post is not in any way referring to "Zion" or a secret Jewish conspiracy, so I want to make that clear, even if the post was made in partial jest.

It's pretty clear that the culprits are people like Bush, who care more about "their" people more than anyone else, while using the slogans and good words found in Christianity, democracy, and freedom to cover themselves.

So, it's pointed out that while Bin Laden may have blown up the big, expensive buildings on TV and killed lots of people in power, but who "blew up" the projects and is killing, by small amounts, lots of people whom nobody cares about? That's the point.

[Jason]

Bush knocked down the towers. No disrespect to the people who lost there lives on 9/11 but theres a lot of reasons why people like me think that, if you watch Loose Change it will show you many reasons to question what happend that day and how the goverment handled it. A person who saw the second plane hit said that the plane was not a regular commercial plane it had no windows and a blue logo on the front. If you watch the videos closely of the planes hitting the towers there is flashes seconds before the plane even hit the towers. How is it that the black boxes didnt work through the damages but they found the passport of the supposed terrorist who hijacked the plane on the streets below? How was it that there were different explosions heard and felt before the towers fell, Many people said it looked like the towers fell like when people knocked down buildings and weeks before the towers were evacuated for "security purposes" and the bomb dog who was usually there was removed also. In the video where Osama supposedly confesses to the terrorist attack he uses his right hand to write but the FBI reports say he is left handed, he is also wearing a gold ring and watch which is forbidden in his religion. There are so many other reasons to questions what happend, Im not positive what happend but that is what i think, theres no disrespect to the people that lost there lives we still morn the lives of them we just question who did it. just cuz the goverment tells the media what they want to tell them dont mean its true

[dogbert]

Why the tendency to use "they" in place of "their"? I think they still use "his", "her", and "I" more or less properly.

yea yea yea IT WAS BUSH WHO FUKIN TOOK THE TOWERS, THEIR WAS AN INPOLSION IN THE TOWERS ALONG WITH THE PLANES. BIN LADEN DIDNT DO IT!

[r mat]

if you beleive there is any truth to those lyrics you should be deported, and labeled a traitor or a hippie or something similar. I actually enjoyed their music before that ... if i ever see mos def or imortal. tech , im going to punch them in the face.

[The Metropolitician]

Well, you're one person who I hope never gets to become president, since you're actually the one who doesn't understand what it means to be American.

Unfortunately, errant and irresponsible Americans such as yourself would support laws such as was proposed by the Patriot Act II, which would have allowed the government to strip Americans of their citizenship and be deported.

Look into the Bill of Rights, which was the olive branch extended by the Federalists to the many people of all stripes who feared an all-powerful, central government that resembled, in their eyes, the English whom they had just spent years fighting against.

I'd rather let a thousand Communists, anarchists, hippies, Ku Klux Klan members, and all other forms of dissenters – both sane and not – air their views because the only thing that separates true freedom and democracy from a regime ruled by fascists like you are the guarantees against state and individual tyranny that is our first 10 amendments to the Constitution, which is the direct inspiration to just about every democratic constitution in the modern world.

But you don't know nuthin' about that. You'd just like to take the gun off the back of your pickup truck and shoot everyone with whom you disagree – or, to be fair – just "punch them in the face."

Being American and upholding the ideals of our country and culture only has meaning when it's inconvenient, guy. Just like a "fair weather friend", just talking the talk when it's easy and convenient to do so is meaningless.

And to get even realer, black dissenters such as Mos Def or Immortal Technique have been the moral center and conscience of the United States from its founding.

Note the experience of Prince Hall, former slave and prominent citizen during the post-Revolutionary period, who was constantly besieged by being "anti-American" and all kinds of rabble-rouser for opposing the very obvious brutality of the institution of slavery, as well as the general anti-black sentiments that could get someone like him attacked by a mob of angry white folks:

"Patience, I say; for were we not possessed of a great measure of it, we could not bear up under the daily insults we meet with in the streets of Boston, much more on public days of recreation. How, at such times, are we shamefully abused, and that to such a degree, that we may truly be said to carry our lives in our hands, and the arrows of death are flying about our heads....tis not for want of courage in you, for they know that they dare not face you man for man, but in a mob, which we despise..."
(http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part2/2p37.html)

Compare this to the words of white revolutionary Samuel Johnson, echoed loudly just after the Revolution: "How is it that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of Negroes?"

If you're smart, maybe you can figure out why your words are doubly ironic, "r mat." Often, in history, people who say unpopular things and are accused of being a "traitor" are actually right – and a culture like ours benefits from protecting the sacred space where good ideas often reside.

Destroying that space destroys who we are. I rather have a thousand WTC towers destroyed than the ideals of our Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights.

You can remake buildings, but once ideals are destroyed, they are effectively gone forever. So you go around punching everyone with whom you disagree in the face; I'm going to do more positive things with my intellect, beliefs, and my time.

[osama]

it wwas fuckin bush who did it ...muthafucker..i hope ladin fuckin blow up his ass one day..

[LAWL]

I love their music.

[Beechtree]

Bush indeed did knock down the towers.
9/11 bears all the earmarks of a government black-op.
And people as patriotic as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
in the Reagan admin, Paul Craig Roberts, are saying so.
"I will begin by stating what we know to be a solid incontrovertible scientific fact. We know that it is strictly impossible for any building, much less steel columned buildings, to “pancake” at free fall speed. Therefore, it is a non-controversial fact that the official explanation of the collapse of the WTC buildings is false... Since the damning incontrovertible fact has not been investigated, speculation and “conspiracy theories” have filled the void. "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Craig_Roberts

Mr. Roberts endorses David Ray Griffin's book on 9/11 Truth:
http://vdare.com/roberts/070326_evidence.htm

Others that have spoken out include all-american Rosie O'Donnell, Charlie Sheen, Ed Asner,
David Lynch, ...

[Jack]

I think the actual jist of the song is not claiming Bush directly knocked down the towers and is covering it up, rather that his actions as President has lead to the situation we have now. I may be wrong though. Jack.

[the homie bulldog]

it amazes me how the people that post comments on here are ignorant.

how about you closed minded fucks take a minute, forget what you believe in, and consider one's view on shit.

BUSH KNOCKED DOWN THE TOWERS,
TELL THE TRUTH NIGGAH!

[jay]

so, i was watching a video on youtube.com just yesterday. this video reminded me of this song, actually. this song is surfacing the reality of
what we, as americans, are losing everyday. we
lose our liberties daily.. it seems that all of
what has happened to our country within the last decade was planned. i'm still unsure of what to
think about this, but i'd like your opinions on this video.
