Son of Muhammad Bin Laden, a Yemini Laborer who became a wealthy construction contractor in Saudi Arabia that died, making Osama inherit an estimated amount of $20 million to $300 million. marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015180419 2024-06-02 00:21:59 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015180419 When the Soviet troops moved into Afghanistan, Bin Laden joined Mujahedin, an Afghan resistance movement. During the 1980s, the U.S. and Bin Laden fought on the same side against the Soviets. The CIA funded billions of dollars to the Afghan resistance and Bin Laden supplied money, men, and equipment. marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015180502 2024-06-02 00:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015180502 Years following the September 11 attack, Bin Laden would periodically release videos and audios while hiding. In a video broadcast before the November 2004 U.S. election, he told muslims to “continue to escalate the killing and fighting” in Iraq. Other recordings by Bin Laden were released in 2009 and in 2010, he claimed responsibility for a failed bombing of a passenger airline the year before. marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015180569 2024-06-02 00:22:48 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015180569 On May 1, 2011, the U.S. raided Bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan at night. After killing Osama Bin Laden and others, the commandos took his body to Afghanistan for identification, then to a U.S. aircraft carrier for burial at sea, to prevent his grave from becoming a pilgrimage site. President Obama announced his death by stating “Justice has been done”. marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015183071 2024-06-02 00:38:30 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015183071 marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015183776 2024-06-02 00:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015183776 marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015184348 2024-06-02 00:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015184348 Afghanistan had always been the sight of conquest and invasions throughout its history and falling under many foreign rules, but still, remaining strong when conflict happens. The Saur Revolution started an ongoing conflict in Afghanistan which led to the Soviet Union invading the country to protect its interest and region. This also led to the Soviet-Afghan War(1979-1989). marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015185154 2024-06-02 00:50:51 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015185154 Rebel groups united to form mujahideen, a term originating from “jihad” or “struggle”, which has evolved to be associated with “Holy water” amid rising terrorism accidents. marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015185227 2024-06-02 00:51:24 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015185227 After the Soviet Union withdrew from Afghanistan in 1989, conflict continued between PDPA government and the mujahideen, who captured kabul in 1992, leading to political fragmentation and the rise of taliban in 1994, a group that advocates strict sharia law and seizing control of Afghanistan in 1996, imposing religious laws, conducting human rights abuses, and destroying cultural landmarks until they were overthrown by U.S. and NATO forces following the September 11, 2001 attack marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015185237 2024-06-02 00:51:29 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015185237 marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015185545 2024-06-02 00:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015185545 marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015185650 2024-06-02 00:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015185650 Reflecting on the era of Osama Bin Laden and the events leading to his death highlights a profound shift in global security and the fight against terrorism. Just as the coordinated efforts of the U.S. and its allies led to his capture, today's struggles against global threats like cyberterrorism and misinformation require a united, strategic approach. marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015187943 2024-06-02 01:06:48 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015187943 Occupy Wall Street (OWS), which lasted from September 17 to November 15, 2011, in New York City, protested against inequality and corporate, highlighting wealth disparity in American politics. The protest emerged after the 2007 - 2008 financial crisis and the Great Recession, which made living standards worse and increased income disparity, fueling public resentment towards the larger unpunished financial actor leaders who were responsible for the crisis. marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015188084 2024-06-02 01:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015188084 The idea for a protest in Lower Manhattan originated from a discussion between Kalle Lasn, cofounder of Adbusters, and its senior editor, Micah White, inspired by the mass protests in Tahrir Square against Hosni Mubarak’s regime. marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015188328 2024-06-02 01:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015188328 Lasn registered OccupyWallStreet.org on June 9 and set the protest date for September 17, his mother’s birthday. The announcement spread quickly on social media, and by August 9, veteran organizers in New York, mostly anarchists, had formed the New York City General Assembly (NYCGA) to plan the event. marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015188363 2024-06-02 01:09:10 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015188363 marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015188702 2024-06-02 01:10:22 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015188702 marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015189334 2024-06-02 01:12:43 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015189334 A decade before the United Nations climate scientists issued a “code red for humanity,” 20-year-old college junior Evan Weber joined thousands of protestors on Wall Street to declare a code red for democracy. On September 17, 2011, they blamed banks, corporations, and the wealthiest 1 percent for corrupting democracy, and their movement, which saw hundreds of thousands join across the U.S., successfully shifted the narrative around economic inequality and gained widespread public support. marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015189422 2024-06-02 01:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015189422 Occupy Wall Street’s most significant impact was on politics, shifting acceptable discourse to the left. Before Occupy, no mainstream legislator criticized capitalism’s corruption, the wealth gap, corporate-designed laws, or billionaire tax evasion, but Occupy changed that narrative, highlighting economic injustice and inequality as deliberate outcomes of wall street’s greed, thus paving the way for anti-corporate law makers like Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015189546 2024-06-02 01:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015189546 Occupy Wall Street was like a great wave hitting shore, warning of even bigger waves to come. The slogan “This is what democracy looks like” echoed through Zuccotti Park, and with the urgency to address the climate crisis, the government must act, or else a new generation might resort to disruptive resistance on a scale not seen since the 1930s. marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015189566 2024-06-02 01:14:07 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015189566 marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015190007 2024-06-02 01:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015190007 Reflecting on Occupy Wall Street's impact and its call for economic justice, I am reminded of my involvement in local environmental activism, where we echo the protest's spirit by demanding action on climate change and corporate accountability. Just as OWS shifted political discourse towards addressing inequality. marcivanmagmanlac https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015191388 2024-06-02 01:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/marcivanmagmanlac/1iqoo5r5o6s3vozc/wish/3015191388 Bin Laden, Osama.
