Osama secret notebook revealed and his interest in bloodlines of Illuminati

USA: Osama Bin Laden had a fixation with the West and had dozens of books about conspiracy theories, America and the CIA.

The terrorist also had cuttings of newspaper articles from articles about himself and further books on France and radical Islam.

Bin Laden's bookcase was revealed by the US Director of National Intelligence who has released more than 100 items found at the head of al Qaeda's secret hide out.

US Navy SEALS seized the paperwork during the night-time raid in Abbottabad, where America's most wanted terrorist was shot dead on May 2, 2011.

English-language books seized included "A Brief Guide to Understanding Islam," "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy," “Black Box Voting, Ballot Tampering in the 21st Century," "The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers" and "Military Intelligence Blunders.

English-language books seized included "A Brief Guide to Understanding Islam," "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy," “Black Box Voting, Ballot Tampering in the 21st Century," "The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers" and "Military Intelligence Blunders.”

Others included "Bloodlines of the Illuminati" by Fritz Springmeier and "Necessary Illusions: Thought Control in Democratic Societies' by Noam Chomsky.

Many of the books were mainstream history publications looking at conflicts, such as Vietnam, that caused the United States problems.

There are two works by Bin Laden’s early mentor, Abdullah Azzam - “The Defense of Muslim Lands” and “Join the Caravan" - about jihad.

There were also copies of many American media articles, including "Is al-Qaeda Just Bush's Boogeyman?" from the Los Angeles Times in January 2005, and a piece in Newsweek magazine "on hawks and doves on Iraq within the Bush Administration."

Also on 'Bin Laden's bookshelf' were a collection of 19 books and think pieces about France - including a defence report from Association of the United States Army’s Institute of Land Warfare looking at the strengths of both British and French armed forces.

He also seemingly read Secrets of the Federal Reserve - a book written by a white supremacist and holocaust denier.

Bin Laden owned copies of New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11 by David Ray Griffin, as well as a printout of a website article entitled Website Claims Steve Jackson Games Foretold 9/11.

Bizarrely, the terrorist leader also had a document detailing the hierarchy of the Church of England, though its significance is unknown.

Also released was an Al-Qaeda application form and love letters to his wife.

The SEALS also seized a huge digital collection of English language books - including several texts on 9/11 conspiracy theories.

Among the most revealing of the items is an application form for potential jihadists to sign up to Al-Qaeda.

Applicants must declare whether they are willing to participate in a suicide attack and are required to give next of kin details in the event they enter martyrdom.

The documents also reveal Bin Laden continued to call for mass-casualty attacks against American targets up to his death.

In an undated letter he told jihadist militants in North Africa they should stop "insisting on the formation of an Islamic state" and instead attack U.S. embassies in Sierra Leone and Togo and American oil companies.

He also told terrorists in Yemen to avoid targeting Yemeni police and military targets and instead attack American targets.

But at the same time as calling for mass Western murders, Bin Laden's letters reveal a more tender side as he writes to his wife and children.

In one letter to his wife, he acknowledges the strain his path has put on the family.

He wrote: "I know that you are in a psychological crisis, so I doubled my thinking to find a way out for you, so I ask God to speed up the resolution for you and to get us together on the shores of safety sooner and not later.

"You have to raise my children properly, and to watch them, and be careful of bad company for them, especially after puberty, especially the girls".

He urges her to marry his daughters to mujahadeen fighters if possible and for his son Osama to be "sent to the battlefield".

He goes on to give his permission for her to re-marry after his death but hopes she will choose him over her new husband in the after life.

He wrote: "As for you, you are the apple of my eye, and the most precious thing that I have in this world. If you want to marry after me, I have no objection, but I really want for you to be my wife in paradise, and the woman, if she marries two men, is given a choice on Judgment Day to be with one of them."
