Hello everyone. We've been experimenting with a bit of a podcast (a few people were asking for audio versions so they can get Biographics while doing other things)! Fair warning: none of these are new biographies, but rather me having a bit more of a free form chat around the script. I'd love to know what you think, if these are useful, wanted etc :).

Biographics I’ll give you a lot of credit for covering this. Things this dark and so recent scare people from even talking about them. Still understanding how these people become what they were is important in preventing those like them from rising again
I particularly enjoyed how you minimized CIAs involvement in creating Osama bin Laden. Was gonna comment on how you completely left it out but then got to the part where you mentioned it. Quoting fundamentalist jihadists as gospel truth to absolve the agency is a nice touch. I'm sure that the understanding of battlefield logistics, need for medical personnel, and the military training and organization camps to sustain a guerilla war simply appeared from the thin air of the Hindu Kush mountains. Or perhaps a young religious zealot coming from a construction family with an education in business simply got those ideas from the Quran.
Dang dude after watching so many biographics videos I started hearing Simon narrating my life, "he spent most of his life watching UA-cam an d eating potatoe chips"

It's insane how, if you listen to his earlier story, fighting the Russians, risking his life alongside his men, he sounds like a hero. You can see how young men looked up to him and ended up joining him.
America named him a "freedom fighter" hence they provided him with arms to fight the Russians as America was losing that war, when America lied to Muslim lands that they would leave in 1996 that's when Bin Laden stopped helping America & took it as an invasion, funny how you can be a freedom fighter but a terrorist when it suits a certain nation.
@@wazzazone It is all on interpretation, men like Bin Laden use religion to justify maniacal political ideologies, The Foundation of religions especially Abrahamic ones is to unify and establish why the Universe was created, therefore it cannot be considered the Religion but the Person who practices the religion who plants the seeds of chaos.
Marc Scordato think about it though, the US funded a group that were trying to overthrow a government that forcefully took over the nation. I see why the US helped them
J Antawn Jones The only place Russia was an enemy is in propaganda created to subsidize our war manufacturer based economy that was never shut down after WW2. The USA has been the bad guy on the world stage ever sense the end of WW2. Most citizens are too stupid to see it. What is communism. Why is it so bad. Or how about the real question, WTF reason do we have for killing people because they want Communism? Do I think it's great. No. As a guy in the States in his 30's, it sucks here. This is no "land of opertunities." We work too hard, we don't make a decent paycheck, our government is run by imbeciles, our education system and healthcare are extremely corrupt systems. All capitalism has created is problems... unless your a billionaire. Billionaires can go to hell as far as I'm concerned.
@@ffccfjsj a lot of time has passed since I watched this video therefore I don't exactly remember.. but as far as I remember his extremist views developed later in life and also if he would've gone to an American University it would've probably changed his outlook.. it's pretty obvious.. you can only hate someone until you get to know them..
his hate for america is cause they support israel it wouldnt change no matter what also its more of " fuckoff " rather than hate i dont think he hated america he was threaten it to stay off palestine land he wouldnt change also he got the right to do as he supporting his people lands
"..One of the largest and most profitable construction businesses in the Middle East.." That is a crane flipped over and crashed into a building in that image right?
That happened a couple of years ago and was a big deal, because if I remember correctly I believe that 19 or 20 people were killed and the government took away their license to operate in Mecca.
Arkham Arsenal sure, good comparison like if you are going to get homeless and your house is going to to be destroyed and your parents are getting killed by sending him away and just taking his nerf gun.
I think the pictures were reversed, 2:43 is actually Osama Bin Laden and the next picture is not. Biographics has screwed up visuals before. The dude in 2:43 is creepy af, but has Osama Bin Ladens lips, eys and bone structure, the other one does not.
I've been binge watching both Biographics and Geographics and thank you and team. These have boosted my curiosity in history from ancient to current events and figures. It would be even more intriguing if you could quote sources on who or what was involved with your Subject's. This would establish a sturdier story of ourhi story.
Just a minor correction: “Jihad” does not mean “Holy War”, it means “Struggle”. This can be an internal or external struggle (for instance, my struggle to not eat an entire sharing pizza, though generally it refers to struggles of a more spiritual nature). It’s saddening that it’s been given this new definition.
TLDR; Osama: "Help us kill the russians" America: "KL, have all these guns bro" Osama: "Woohoo! We won! Now to attack America" America: "Wait... what?"
@@grandpa4908 the FBI actually alarmed CIA and named most of the hijackers but the CIA did nothing because they didn't want to credit FBI for the discovery.
Simon tends to tow the Neoconservative line on the Middle East, which included denying any American ops that cannot be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.

El Patron is very interesting, but honestly, there's really nothing that we don't know about him. His story has been told 100s of times. The only thing that would be interesting to learn is what happened to all that money he had buried all over Columbia.
no American instructor was ever involved with training the mujahideen.. so they all just knew how to use stinger missiles and the weapons they were given?
@@overclock1993 or it could be due to the fact the stinger missiles are probably the most user-friendly missile launcher ever made, you just point it at the target, wait for the beep and then pull the trigger
and almost all the photos are wrong. The first photo is of an unrelated 2015 Mecca collapsed crane and the photo for the 1991 Gulf War Soldiers, were from 2008, judging from their cammo and gear. Even about a third of the photos of OBL were of his decoys
You do a great job of squeezing as many facts as possible into a 20 minute narrative, whilst injecting a bit of personal flair at the right spots. Good work !...I'm watching all of them !
Because they didn't wanna create a site for a bunch of fanatics to go gather like ass holes I don't know what it is with you morons that think everything's a conspiracy hes dead rob O'Neill put 3 bullets in his head that's one thing that documentary got wrong it was great but there wasn't 1 in the chest 1 in the head rob O'Neill has stated several times 3 in the head they didn't release the pictures because they're afraid of the repercussions of it by what's remaining of his pussie organization they've took pictures they have pictures eventually the pictures will leak are be released they confirmed it was him with DNA his organization of cowards themselves has said they will avenge his death what the fuck's the matter with you hes dead there's nothing fishy hes a scumbag terrorist I hope they Pissed on him before they kicked His sorry 6' 4 shitty skinny exploded headed corpse overboard.
because they are , I once watched a documentary about the truth of his death , he died few months or years before the, fake killing bin Laden operation .
@@aaduthoma9444 i don't think so because the last videos of bin laden were fake . do you believe that after yeas of chasing him US had only 1 photo of bin laden dead and bad quality one , then claim the body fell in the ocean ? its US forces man !! not some random dudes carrying a body on a wooden cart .
1:35 "Largest and most profitable construction companies in the middle east" That picture is one of a construction company that is NOT very profitable as the crane seems to have fallen over.
I feel so dumb being an American born and raised and not knowing the majority of this information. Thank you Simon for doing what our teachers didn’t, telling the truth.
@@tomcats125The irony of using an American invented laptop/smartphone to connect to the American created internet and use an American company to call Americans criminals is rich. In the world of criminality, that makes you America’s bitch.

You're right @_@ ... the shadow of the left side of the beard is so not supposed to look like that...
@@atlanticrf With L'oreal hair dye brand...
It's not the real photo. They never released the actual one.
"in the city of Ridah..." It's Riyadh mate lmao
😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Ri..................dah says simon says 😂
My name is Riyadh
@@riyadh3522 ......o.....K
Do it ur self then
This dude changed my entire life.
GodTheBear how so?
@@rgkong8783 this is now a very ominous post
@@roanoneill3937 excuse me?
you should do one for pablo escobar the cocaine druglord
juan manuel mc Yes! Pablo!
Don Pablo!
juan manuel mc I agree. Try "Pablo Escobar: el patron del mal" on Netflix. It's better than Narcos.
"Mi nombre es Don Pablo".
El Patron is very interesting, but honestly, there's really nothing that we don't know about him. His story has been told 100s of times. The only thing that would be interesting to learn is what happened to all that money he had buried all over Columbia.
no American instructor was ever involved with training the mujahideen.. so they all just knew how to use stinger missiles and the weapons they were given?
Seem like they could read a manual 😂
@@overclock1993 or it could be due to the fact the stinger missiles are probably the most user-friendly missile launcher ever made, you just point it at the target, wait for the beep and then pull the trigger
Might be they took some beginners tutorials from UA-cam
or th Russians and the Americans both provided the tools and training and filmed it....
Laiq Ahmad Malik yeah I'm sure one of those Indian channels has a tutorial on that
I love your podcasts. Thank you.
The music he used for each “chapter” is baggin
Hey simon love the show very informative and to the point.keep it up dude
This was incredibly interesting, thank you for talking about controversial personalities. Could you do Saddam Hussein or Jassir Arafat some time?
It's Yasser Arafat .. not Jassir??
My bad, in germany his name is spelled Jassir so I mixed it up, but thank you for correcting me. :)
Khaliso it isn't a problem difference in how people say yassir is great
Short and immensely informative.
Great episode
i love how all your videos so clearly explain all these interesting people and the complex situations they end up in, in a way so easy to understand
Great work and loved the backround music
Title should be :
"Johnny sins talks about Osama bin Laden"
Better than 90 % of documentaries 👍
Your dates are wrong. The USS Cole was hit octobre 2000. The WTC wasn't hit "less than a month after that", but almost a year later.
Yes...I picked up on this too. Good video...but this was an error.
@@theredtomahawk6206 yes there was, but ussr shipped it away before USA invasion
Dark Matter that’s right he gave them to Syria where they were used on its own people by president Assad.
and almost all the photos are wrong. The first photo is of an unrelated 2015 Mecca collapsed crane and the photo for the 1991 Gulf War Soldiers, were from 2008, judging from their cammo and gear. Even about a third of the photos of OBL were of his decoys
Yes! Thank you!

You do a great job of squeezing as many facts as possible into a 20 minute narrative, whilst injecting a bit of personal flair at the right spots. Good work !...I'm watching all of them !

Why did they bury him at sea? Seems kinda fishy? Lol!
Exactly
They didn't bury him so people don't worship him
James Bodnarchuk, so they could say "Osama now sleeps with the fishes" like a Mafia boss would say👌👍👊👏
Because they didn't wanna create a site for a bunch of fanatics to go gather like ass holes I don't know what it is with you morons that think everything's a conspiracy hes dead rob O'Neill put 3 bullets in his head that's one thing that documentary got wrong it was great but there wasn't 1 in the chest 1 in the head rob O'Neill has stated several times 3 in the head they didn't release the pictures because they're afraid of the repercussions of it by what's remaining of his pussie organization they've took pictures they have pictures eventually the pictures will leak are be released they confirmed it was him with DNA his organization of cowards themselves has said they will avenge his death what the fuck's the matter with you hes dead there's nothing fishy hes a scumbag terrorist I hope they Pissed on him before they kicked His sorry 6' 4 shitty skinny exploded headed corpse overboard.
I don't even think he's dead if you ask me
I love it. You said, “buried at sea.”
Kind of a euphemism for “tossed out of the helicopter.”
buried at sea or covering up that he is still alive
This was so, so interesting!
When you mentioned the 1992 attack in Yemen, you showed a picture of the nyc wtc.

@@jamesphelps3409 he just did it recently
Creepy Closet thanks! I watched it as soon as it came out
He sang Poker Face and that was amazing
They've found 2 of his 3 brothers Bin Robbin and Bin Rapin but they're still looking for Bin Workin
Why is it that every single photo I find of his dead body looks like it was photoshopped by a middle schooler
because they are , I once watched a documentary about the truth of his death , he died few months or years before the, fake killing bin Laden operation .
@@hamza-trabelsi Those are just conspiracy theories
@@aaduthoma9444 i don't think so because the last videos of bin laden were fake . do you believe that after yeas of chasing him US had only 1 photo of bin laden dead and bad quality one , then claim the body fell in the ocean ? its US forces man !! not some random dudes carrying a body on a wooden cart .
This is one Biographic I always wanted to see or research myself. Thx :D awesome job.
Btw, can you do a Charles Darwin one? :)
Andrew Carnegie?
wow wonderful video
Rest in peace to those that passed away.
1:35 "Largest and most profitable construction companies in the middle east"
That picture is one of a construction company that is NOT very profitable as the crane seems to have fallen over.
Not the only fallen structure that comes to mind when thinking of Bin Laden
@@maxwellglover9598 oh good God
Hey at least they got the crane right?? This is the middle east where alot of villager houses are made from mud/clay.
Simon, thank you for a very detailed treatment of this fellow. It has helped me to see how things in this world are so intertwined.
Good stuff. Unbiased and fact based. The world needs more of this. (Seriously)
Clearly another example of a "best friend" becoming your worst enemy : be careful who you fraternise with!.
May 2nd, 2011 Osama Bin Laden had a near SEAL experience that changed his life forever.
Jimmy Borowski do you have proof
@@leedsynwa5062 do a search for osama death photoshop. ;)
@@leedsynwa5062 yo wtf those people are mentally disabled
Riyadh not Ridah. But love this idea and channel. Good idea and best of luck with this! I’ll be watching em
"shot in the forehead" then shows a picture of a clean photoshopped face with no bullet hole. smh at america.
The photos have never been released.
I feel so dumb being an American born and raised and not knowing the majority of this information. Thank you Simon for doing what our teachers didn’t, telling the truth.
how many people die for USA oil hunt. where are the WMD's on Iraq. look at libiya now ......well done USA criminals
@@tomcats125The irony of using an American invented laptop/smartphone to connect to the American created internet and use an American company to call Americans criminals is rich. In the world of criminality, that makes you America’s bitch.
glad we both see the light.
How is it possible a 60 years old man to look like 30s when he is dead
Think outside #the box Dude had a big beard. Also I think he does look old enough on his death pic.
Loreal.
Wasn't he quite sick too? I remember hearing that he suffered from renal failure and traveled with a hemo dialysis machine. They might talk about it in this video, but I am only a few minutes into it.
back in the day I thought that he looked younger with every new video.
If u believe it ur stupid

As someone who has been on the USS Cole, and have met people who were on board for the attack, it was a devastating and very bring-down-to-earth experience.
Nice work Biographics. Can you do the following next please:

Giuseppe Garibaldi
Marshal Lyautey
Lawrence of Arabia
King Faisal Al Saud
Moshe Dayyan
Col. Orde Wingate
Uday Saddam Hussein
Josef Broz Tito
Not necessarily in that order lol 👍🏽

What would I have to to to get you to make a Video about Michael Palin?
How about 100 likes on this comment? On a side note, I just saw John Cleese last week in person, touring with his daughter. -Shell
I'll try, thanks..! And he's on tour?! If he's remotely as funny as he was in his other works, I've got to see it.
We do have a voting page on our site: biographics.org/you-choose-the-biography/ -we'll to the one with the most suggestions. I saw Cleese in Richmond, VA so he is on tour. First 90 minutes is a screening of Quest for the Holy Grail and then he and is daughter (Who is a stand-up comic and an Amazon at 6'2", come on stage for an hour or so and she moderates questions from the audience.
Terry Jones also, his degenerative brain disease is a travesty and I would like to see all Python members get their biography done
