Gag Order: Bin Laden’s Porn Collection to Remain Classified
by Chris Hart
This first appeared in The Havok Journal June 5, 2017.
In 2015 the U.S. intelligence apparatus declassified and released documents that were acquired from the remote compound in Pakistan where Osama bin Laden lived out the last days of his life.
After careful analysis of the disclosed material, Havok Journal’s Christopher Otero reported that there was no shortage of odd reading material on the bookshelf of one of the most despised individuals in modern history, material which included anything from 9/11 conspiracy theories to the heralded works of Noam Chomsky.

Beyond the interesting list of books, the documents also shed light on a wide range of topics such as concerns over al-Qaeda’s operational security, qualms regarding internecine and regional attacks, a questionnaire/application for the terrorist organization, and personal letters bin Laden had written to family members.
However, we now know the one element of information that will not be released — the details surrounding Bin Laden’s porn collection.
Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper confirmed last week that “some pornographic material” was discovered in files recovered by the SEALs during their raid on Abbottabad, but DNI spokesman Jeffrey Anchkaitis had stated publicly that, “We are not going to release these materials due to the nature of their contents.”
Wait, what?
That’s right folks — short of a miracle, this story won’t come with a happy ending. Unlike events of the past like Watergate, there will be no Deep Throat. For those curious about the scandalous videos and material held by one of history’s most notorious terrorists, the decision made by the DNI will be tough to swallow.
It’s a puzzling situation that begs the question, “What could possibly be so outrageous with Bin Laden’s porn collection that the U.S. Intelligence community is unwilling to disseminate such information?”
The simple truth is this: finding pornography in raids and operations conducted my the United States military and its intelligence community is fairly commonplace. Moreover, embedding secret documents and information into pornographic movie files was often the modus operandi for terrorist organizations to keep such details secure. This comes as no surprise to us at the Havok Journal, where author Scott Faith discussed the proliferation of porn in the Muslim world long before major media outlets began covering it.
Perhaps the DNI’s reluctance to declassify the information comes from a concern of potential backlash from violent extremists. On the other hand — maybe, just maybe, they are doing them a favor by not besmirching the good name of an abhorrent Islamic radical whose ideals, vision and worldview were nothing but the absolute epitome of misogyny. It is a prototypical form of political correctness that the Administration in charge has used accordingly on several hot topics, but does them no favor in this regard.
In all honesty, what do they have to lose by disclosing what they found? Would the release of Bin Laden’s blue movies compromise national security? What is it, Top Secret porn?
It is important to remember that wars aren’t only fought on the battleground, but in the hearts and minds of people. That being said, it is plausible to assume that making this information available to John Q. Public could help squash the religious asceticism often portrayed by Islamic extremists the world over. The relaying of such information could be used as a tool to further demonstrate the bankrupt moral compasses of the troglodyte radicals our brave men and women are hunting down on a daily basis.
The DNI’s position of taking the high road on this issue is somewhat surprising, especially when al-Qaeda and its associated entities had often used their propaganda task forces to divulge statistics and stories that showed he dark side of “America’s filth” referencing homosexuality, sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS and sodomy. Situations such as this highlights the hypocrisy of radical Islam to the point where its palpability cannot be ignored.
At the end of the day, the contents of Bin Laden’s pornographic treasure trove, most likely consisting of a film line up with titles such as, “Two Goats, One Cup,” “Debeed Does Doha,” “Burka-less in Baghdad” and “Taboo in Tora Bora” will not have an impact on how you or I go about our daily lives. Alas, calling a spade a spade by revealing the twisted, dark nature of Bin Laden and his closest associates is fair game — especially when it provides the opportunity to undermine the false righteousness of deplorable, barbarous terrorists who are hell bent for leather on destroying anything that unites and holds a beacon of hope for humanity.
Mr. DNI, tear down this firewall! Release Bin Laden’s porn!
