The Ties That Bind Washington to Chechen Terrorists

Wayne MADSEN, 26.04.2013

http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2013/04/26/the-ties-that-bind-washington-to-chechen-terrorists.html

To scan the list of major American supporters of the Chechen secessionist movement, which at some points can hardly be distinguished from Chechen terrorists financed by U.S. allies Saudi Arabia and Qatar, is to be reminded of some of the most notorious U.S. Cold War players.

Evidence is mounting that the accused dead Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, allegedly killed during an April 19 shootout with police in Watertown, Massachusetts, became a «radicalized» Muslim while participating in a covert CIA program, run through the Republic of Georgia, to destabilize Russia's North Caucasus region… The ultimate goal of the CIA's campaign was for the Muslim inhabitants of the region to declare independence from Moscow and tilt toward the U.S. Wahhabi Muslim-run governments of Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

The Western corporate media largely ignored an important story reported from Izvestia in Moscow: that Tamerlan Tsarnaev attended seminars run by the Caucasus Fund of Georgia, a group affiliated with the neo-conservative think tank, the Jamestown Foundation, between January and July 2012. The U.S. media reported that during this six month time frame, Tsarnaev was being radicalized by Dagestan radical imam «Abu Dudzhan», killed in a fight with Russian security forces in 2012. Tsarnaev also visited Dagestan in 2011.

However, in documents leaked from the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs' Counterintelligence Department, Tsarnaev is pinpointed as being in Tbilisi taking part in «seminars» organized by the Caucasus Fund, founded during the Georgian-South Ossetian war of 2008, a war started when Georgian troops invaded the pro-Russian Republic of South Ossetia during the Beijing Olympics. Georgia was supported militarily and with intelligence support by the United States and Israel, and the American support included U.S. Special Forces advisers on the ground in Georgia. The Georgian intelligence documents indicate Tsarnaev attended the Jamestown Foundation seminars in Tbilisi.

The Jamestown Foundation is part of a neo-conservative network that re-branded itself after the Cold War from being anti-Soviet and anti-Communist to one that is anti-Russian and “pro-democracy.” The network not only consists of Jamestown and the Caucasus Fund but also other groups funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and George Soros’ Open Society Institute (OSI).

Georgia has become a nexus for the U.S. aid to the Russian opposition trying to oust President Vladimir Putin and his supporters from power. In March [2010], Georgia sponsored, with CIA, Soros, and British MI-6 funds, a conference titled 'Hidden Nations, Enduring Crimes: The Circassians and the People of the North Caucasus Between Past and Future.' Georgia and its CIA, Soros, and British intelligence allies are funneling cash and other support for secessionism by ethnic minorities in Russia, including Circassians, Chechens, Ingushetians, Balkars, Kabardins, Abaza, Tatars, Talysh, and Kumyks».

The March 21, 2010 conference in Tbilisi was organized by the Jamestown Foundation and the International School of Caucasus Studies at Ilia State University in Georgia. If Georgian counter-intelligence documents have Tamerlan Tsarnaev attending Jamestown conferences in Tbilisi in 2011, could the Russian FSB have tracked him to the Jamestown Hidden Nations seminar in March 2010? In any event, a year later the FSB decided to contact the FBI about Tsarnaev's ties to terrorists.

The first Russian request to the FBI came via the FBI's Legal Attache's office at the U.S. embassy in Moscow in March 2011. It took the FBI until June of 2011 to conclude that Tamerlan posed no terrorist threat but it did add his name to the Treasury Enforcement Communications System, or TECS, which monitors financial information such as bank accounts held abroad and wire transfers. In September 2011, Russian authorities, once again, alerted the U.S. of their suspicions about Tamerlan. The second alert went to the CIA. By September 2011, Russian security agencies were well aware that the Hidden Nations seminar held a year earlier was a CIA-sponsored event that was supported by the Mikheil Saakashvili government in Georgia and that other similar meetings had been held and were planned, including the one that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was to attend in Tbilisi in January 2012.

At some point in time after the first Russian alert and either before or after the second, the CIA entered Tamerlan's name into the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment list (TIDE), a database with more than 750,000 entries that is maintained by the National Counterterrorism Center in McLean, Virginia.

The Jamestown Foundation is a long-standing front operation for the CIA, it being founded, in part, by CIA director William Casey in 1984. The organization was used as an employer for high-ranking Soviet bloc defectors, including the Soviet Undersecretary General of the UN Arkady Shevchenko and Romanian intelligence official Ion Pacepa. The Russian domestic Federal Security Bureau and the SVR foreign intelligence agency have long suspected Jamestown of helping to foment rebellions in Chechnya, Ingushetia, and other north Caucasus republics. The March 21 Tbilisi conference on the north Caucasus a few days before the Moscow train bombings has obviously added to the suspicions of the FSB and SVR.

Jamestown's board includes such Cold War era individuals as Marcia Carlucci; wife of Frank Carlucci, the former CIA officer, Secretary of Defense, and Chairman of The Carlyle Group [Frank Carlucci was also one of those who requested the U.S. government to allow former Chechen Republic 'Foreign Minister' Ilyas Akhmadov, accused by the Russians of terrorist ties, to be granted political asylum in the U.S. after a veto from the Homeland Security and Justice Departments], anti-Communist book and magazine publisher Alfred Regnery; and Caspar Weinberger's Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs Kathleen Troia «KT» McFarland. Also on the board is former Oklahoma GOP Governor Frank Keating, the governor at the time of the 1995 Murrah Federal Building bombing.

Cooperating with Jamestown in not only its north and south Caucasus information operations, but also in Moldovan, Belarusian, Uighur, and Uzbekistan affairs, is George Soros's ubiquitous Open Society Institute, another cipher for U.S. intelligence and global banking interests. Soros's Central Eurasia Project has sponsored a number of panels and seminars with Jamestown.

Russian security indicated in their first communication with the FBI that Tamerlan Tsarnaev had changed drastically since 2010. That change came after the Hidden Nations conference in Tbilisi. U.S. support for Chechen and North Caucasus secession came as a result of a public statement on August 2008 by GOP presidential candidate John McCain that «after Russia illegally recognized the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, Western countries ought to think about the independence of the North Caucasus and Chechnya».

Upon becoming President in 2009, Barack Obama adopted McCain's proposal and authorized CIA support for North Caucasus secessionists and terrorists with money laundered through the USAID, the National Endowment for Democracy, Soros's Open Society Institute, Freedom House, and the Jamestown Foundation. In January 2012, Obama appointed a Soros activist and neocon, Michael McFaul of the right-wing Hoover Institution at Stanford University, as U.S. ambassador to Moscow. McFaul immediately threw open the doors of the U.S. embassy to a variety of Russian dissidents, including secessionists from the North Caucasus, some of whom were suspected by the Russian FSB of ties to Islamist terrorists.

Whether Tamerlan Tsarnaev was always a CIA asset and participated in a “false flag” operation in Boston and became an unwitting “patsy” in a CIA plot, much like “U.S. Marine “defector” to the Soviet Union Lee Harvey Oswald became a “patsy” in President Kennedy’s assassination, or he was indeed radicalized in an attempt to infiltrate him into the ranks of the Caucasus Emirate and decided to defect and carry out a terrorist attack against the United States may never be known. If the latter is the case, Tsarnaev is much like Osama Bin Laden, once a CIA fighter in the field in Afghanistan who allegedly decided to launch a jihad against the United States. If Tsarnaev was a “patsy” like Oswald, that might explain the setting off of an incendiary device at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston ten minutes after the twin bombings at the Boston Marathon. After Boston Police stated the fire was caused by an explosion, the Boston Fire Department went into cover-up mode and tried to claim the fire could have been caused by someone tossing a cigarette on to flammable material.

Yesterday Rachel Maddow was again railing about the damage done by comments and questions of conspiracy theorists.

She presented the prop of a mother of a 9/11 victim to reinforce the absurdity of questioning authorities.

President Obama has seized, conned, manipulated, and secretly justified the authority to indefinitely imprison without oversight of any magistrate and to order the remote execution of anyone, including Americans, on the basis of secret (hidden) justification (information). Three Americans were killed in drone attacks authorized by the executive branch acting partially on "evidence" gathered in the remote country of Yemen.

Here is a sampling of the inaccuracy and uncertainty of information gathered recently in a major city in the U.S. and then distributed by various press sources, internet based sources (police scanner info interpreted from real time police communications), and in most of the following examples, from direct quotes of law enforcement authorities presumed by the press and inferred by those quoted as being in a position to know. Many of the details given by those quoted was justification for shutting down a metro area of

more than one million people for an entire business day last week. I think we would not see a more unsatisfactory record of inaccurate information and faulty judgment if budgets of local, state, and federal security related agencies and intelligence gathering and analysis were reduced by a third, immediately. The more there are of these overlapping security authorities the more they feel the need to justify their budgets and effectiveness. If this debacle is representative of what they do in the routine performance of their tasks of investigation, arrest, and prosecution, supported by a cooperative, compliant, and incurious corporate media, is it any wonder we in the U.S. enjoy the highest per capita incarceration rate in the world?

Investigators Dig for Roots of Bomb Suspects’ Radicalization

By ERIC SCHMITT and MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT - Published: April 21, 2013

....Along with determining that the suspects had made at least five pipe bombs, the authorities recovered four firearms that they believe the suspects used, according to a law enforcement official. The authorities found an M-4 carbine rifle — a weapon similar to ones used by American forces in Afghanistan — on the boat where the younger suspect was found Friday night in Watertown, Mass.

Two handguns and a BB gun that the authorities believe the brothers used in an earlier shootout with officers in Watertown were also recovered, said one official briefed on the investigation. The authorities said they believe the suspects had fired roughly 80 rounds in that shootout, in which Tamerlan Tsarnaev was fatally wounded, the official said....

Officer’s Killing Spurred Pursuit in Boston Attack - By WENDY RUDERMAN, SERGE F. KOVALESKI and MICHAEL COOPER Published: April 24, 2013

...Police officials initially announced that officers had “exchanged gunfire” Friday evening with the surviving suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, as he hid in a boat in the backyard of a house in Watertown, Mass. Now several law enforcement officials say no gun was found in the boat, and officials say they are exploring what prompted officers to fire at Mr. Tsarnaev, who some feared was armed with explosives.

The man noticed blood on the boat, spotted a body inside the boat and called 911, according to Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis. According to police, a helicopter with infrared technology then located Tsarnaev in the boat and noted that he was moving about within it. The helicopter directed officers on the ground to the boat, where they briefly exchanged gunfire shortly before 7 p.m.

Police halted their gunfire and sent hostage negotiators to try and talk Tsarnaev out of the boat Davis said.

.....................................

Authorities had previously said Dzhokhar exchanged gunfire with them for more than an hour Friday night before they captured him inside a boat covered by a tarp in a suburban Boston neighborhood backyard. But two U.S. officials said Wednesday that he was unarmed when captured, raising questions about the gunfire and how he was injured.....

The officials told the AP that no gun was found in the boat. Boston police Commissioner Ed Davis said earlier that shots were fired from inside the boat.

Asked whether the suspect had a gun in the boat, Davis said, "I'm not going to talk about that."

Kurt Schwartz, director of the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, did respond to the report.

"Within half a mile of where this person was captured, a police officer was shot. And I know who shot him." Schwartz said. "And there were three bombs that went off, and I know where those bombs came from. ... To me, it does not change anything. This guy was captured alive and will survive. True or not true, it doesn't change anything for me."

Law enforcement officials now say they have recovered only one gun elsewhere, which they believe was used by Mr. Tsarnaev’s older brother, Tamerlan — not the three previously reported. And initial reports that the brothers first came to the attention of the police after robbing a 7-Eleven were wrong. The police were called to a gas station convenience store early Friday after a man who said he had been carjacked by the marathon bombers escaped and sought help.

The brothers continued firing at the officers, getting off 200 to 300 shots, Deveau said.

The catalyst that set the violent night in motion was the shooting death of Officer Collier, officials said. It came about five hours after the F.B.I. released pictures of the two suspects in the bombings and asked the public’s help in identifying them.

“I consider him a hero,” Boston’s police commissioner, Edward Davis, said in an interview this week. “It was his death that ultimately led to the apprehension. The report of the shot officer led to all those resources being poured in.”

Officer Collier was killed around 10:30 p.m., police officials said — just half an hour before his 3-to-11 shift was to end.

While there is video of two men approaching Officer Collier’s car, three law enforcement officials said, it does not clearly show their faces. But investigators now believe the brothers killed the officer to get another gun.....

......The two men apparently split up after the killing, and when the carjacking occurred, before midnight, a lone man approached a parked Mercedes-Benz sport utility vehicle and tapped on the passenger-side window, officials said. Why the men separated was among the many details of the night that were still unclear even a week later.

After the driver lowered the window, the man reached in, opened the door, climbed in and pointed a gun, saying, “Did you hear about the Boston explosion?” and “I did that,” according to an affidavit filed Monday with the criminal complaint charging Dzhokhar Tsarnaev with the bombings.

The gunman, who law enforcement officials believe was Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, removed the magazine from his gun and showed the driver that a bullet was in it, according to the affidavit. “I am serious,” he was quoted as saying.

The gunman then forced the driver to head for another location, where they picked up a second man, who officials believe was Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The brothers loaded something in the trunk of the S.U.V., the affidavit said. They then took $45 and a bank card from the carjacking victim, it said.

They pulled into the Memorial Drive Shell gas station and Mary’s Deli food mart at Memorial Drive and River Street in Cambridge after midnight. Video surveillance shows the victim of the carjacking fleeing to a Mobil gas station across the street, according to Alan Mednick, the Shell station’s general manager. The brothers did not buy anything, Mr. Mednick said.

“Maybe they were going to try and buy something, but the guy took off running,” he said.

At the Mobil station, Tarek Ahmed, 45, was working the overnight shift when, he said, a panicked man “came in running.”

“He opens the door,” Mr. Ahmed recalled in an interview. “I stood up. He was screaming, saying: ‘Call the police. They have bombs. They have a gun. They want to kill me.’ I thought he was drunk.”

Then Mr. Ahmed realized he was serious.

“He ran behind the counter and ran into the back room, a storage room, and locked the door,” Mr. Ahmed recalled. “At this moment, I believe him. He was honest, that somebody wanted to shoot him. So I took the phone, and I called 911.

“I tried not to look outside at anything. I wanted to make it appear as if nothing was wrong. I was hoping the suspects didn’t see where he went. At the same time, I told the police what happened. As I’m talking to the police, I back up slowly and knock on the storage room door. The guy opened the door, and I handed him the phone.”

The carjacking victim left his cellphone in the Mercedes, a law enforcement official said, allowing officials to track it.

They caught up with the S.U.V. in Watertown, where the men “threw at least two small improvised explosive devices” out of the car, the affidavit said.

Marathon bombing suspects threw ‘crude grenades’ at officers - April 21, 2013

....A local officer spotted the brothers driving in two cars, a Honda sedan and the stolen Mercedes SUV, said Deveau. The brothers stopped, jumped out and started firing on the officer, while more police rushed to the scene, he said.

“Quickly we had six Watertown police officers and two bad guys in a gunfight,” said Deveau. At least 200 shots were fired; maybe as many as 300, he said.

The shots, around 12:50 a.m., woke resident Jennings Aske, at 66 Laurel Ave. When he looked out his window he saw a green Honda Civic sedan stopped in the street, with its lights on and the driver’s side windows blown out. A husky man – apparently Tamerlan Tsarnaev — stood nearby firing a gun.

“I saw him standing there shooting at police,” Aske said. “When he fired, there was a little flash of light. I could hear the gun firing. It was terrifying.”

http://www.getonhand.com/blogs/news/7743337-boston-bombing-suspect-shootout-pictures

moh-boston-2_grande.jpg?836

The shooters were also driving the green sedan on the left. They had the back passenger door open and were going back into the car where they had additional supplies (assumingly, more ammunition and explosives). They also had backpacks at their feet where they also had additional supplies.

A furious gunfight ensued on Laurel Street in Watertown, where more than 200 rounds were fired, officials said. A transit police officer, Richard H. Donohue, was shot in his right leg and critically wounded during the gunfight.

Chief Edward P. Deveau of the Watertown police said the suspects were shooting at seven of his officers on a side street and throwing explosives at them.

“One of the officers coming in had at least one bullet go through his windshield, and had the wherewithal to put the car in gear and let it roll down the street while he is able to get out and take up a position,” the chief said. “And eventually it hit a parked car. They were shooting at it because they think there is somebody in it.”

Tamerlan Tsarnaev was wounded in the gunfight and then, law enforcement officials and witnesses said, was hit by the carjacked Mercedes, which his brother used to escape.

After a 10-minute firefight, Deveau said, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older brother, moved toward an officer. He was out of ammunition and wounded with a gunshot in his chest. Several officers tackled him, Deveau said. He was handcuffed and on the ground.

"Then the other brother came roaring down the street in the Mercedes and runs over his brother," Deveau said.

Mike Doucette, 27, a chimney sweep who lives on the street, described seeing one brother shot and fall to the ground. He was still moving when the other brother went “screaming up the street” in the S.U.V.

“I yelled to the cops, ‘Watch out!’ ” Mr. Doucette said in an interview. But the car hit the wounded brother, he said, and “his body was tumbling underneath.”....

.....As Friday dawned, state officials urged people in the Boston area to stay behind locked doors, and all transit service was shut down — paralyzing the metropolitan area as officials searched for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. That evening they lifted the order, fearing he had escaped.

Then, close to 7 p.m., they got a call from a Watertown man. The man, Dave Henneberry, had stepped out of his house after the authorities gave residents the all-clear, then noticed something askew with his boat and went to fix it, said John Duffy, 66, a close friend. The boat was called the Slip Away II......

....He told his wife, ‘Lock the doors,’ and he called 911.”

A call went out over the police radio. “They have a boat with blood on it, and they believe someone’s on the boat,” it said. Police officials initially said the boat was in the backyard of a house just outside the perimeter of the area where investigators had conducted door-to-door searches all day. But Commissioner Davis, of the Boston police, said this week that the boat had been inside the perimeter.

“It was an area that should have been checked,” he said. “We are not sure how long he was in the boat. There was a pool of blood near where the car was dumped about four or five blocks away from the boat.”

"We didn't think he got by the perimeter," Deveau said. Police hadn't received any reports of stolen or carjacked vehicles....

.....found Tsarnaev lying in his boat. The house is three blocks outside the perimeter. "There's a decent chance that he was in the boat the whole time," Deveau said.

................................................................

But police said at a press conference after the standoff ended that Tsarnaev had escaped their manhunt and hid himself in the boat just one block outside of the perimeter they were searching.

"We know he didn't go straight to the boat," said Watertown police chief Edward P. Deveau. "We found blood in the car he abandoned and we found blood in a house inside the perimeter. We had no information that he had gotten outside the perimeter, but it was very chaotic this morning. We had a police officer who was shot and bleeding.

"We had a perimeter that we thought was solid and we did that but we were about one block away," Deveau said."

It is still not clear what prompted officers to fire into the boat. “Shots fired, multiple shots!” someone was heard saying on the radio, before another call went out: “All units hold your fire! Hold your fire.”

Commissioner Davis said that “we will have to see what prompted the volley of shots before the cease-fire was ordered by a superintendent of the Boston police.”

A state police helicopter used thermal imaging technology to show where the suspect was hiding in the boat, and a robotic arm attached to a police vehicle was used to pull the tarp back. Then, around 8:45 p.m., Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was taken alive.

Wendy Ruderman reported from Cambridge, Serge F. Kovaleski from Boston, and Michael Cooper from New York. Reporting was contributed by Katharine Q. Seelye from Boston, William K. Rashbaum and Erica Goode from New York, and Michael S. Schmidt from Washington.

Man carjacked by Boston bombing suspects says he was able to escape after Dzhokhar Tsarnaev went into a store for Red Bull and chocolate bars

  • The victim, a Chinese man in his early 20s, ran to a gas station nearby, where he was told a cashier that his captors had a bomb and guns

......"Call the police! Call the police! These people are trying to kill me!"

The young man was allegedly carjacked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology by the two men authorities now say have been identified as the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.

Authorities said early Friday the suspects dropped off the victim after driving around with him for about 30 minutes.

Ahmed, 45, described the young man as Caucasian and between 20 and 25 years old. He said the young man ran into his store "shaking and scared and very nervous."

"I thought he was drunk. I didn't believe him when he came in it just sounded very crazy," Ahmed told FoxNews.com in an exclusive interview.

.....Meanwhile, the carjacking victim of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects has opened up the possibility the pair was planning a New York City attack, investigators said.

The investigators told CBS news the cache of weapons the brothers allegedly amassed hints at plans for another attack and the brothers may have planned to go to New York.

The carjacking victim speaks little or no English but he was able to recognize certain words as the brothers conversed first in English and then in Russian.

One of the words he recognized was "Manhattan," investigators told CBS.

“At approximately 10:20 p.m. April 18, police received reports of shots fired on the MIT campus. At 10:30 p.m., an MIT campus police officer was found shot in his vehicle in the area of Vassar and Main streets. According to authorities, the officer was found evidencing multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital and pronounced deceased.

Authorities launched an immediate investigation into the circumstances of the shooting. The investigation determined that two males were involved in this shooting.

A short time later, police received reports of an armed carjacking by two males in the area of Third Street in Cambridge. The victim was carjacked at gunpoint by two males and was kept in the car with the suspects for approximately a half hour. The victim was released at a gas station on Memorial Drive in Cambridge. He was not injured.”

Beth Israel Deaconess medical staff tried to revive suspect killed in shoot-out

04/19/2013 1:29 PM By Liz Kowalczyk, Globe Staff

Dr. David Schoenfeld heard a fierce gun fight and explosions outside his Watertown home and, expecting massive casualties, bolted out the door and to work at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Less than 10 minutes after he arrived in the emergency department, he saw the results of that battle:

At 1:20 a.m., emergency medical personnel wheeled in marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, unconscious, handcuffed, and in cardiac arrest. He was surrounded by more than a dozen police officers.

Emergency crews were performing CPR on Tsarnaev, who had massive injuries, including burns on his right shoulder and chest and a gaping wound on his torso. They had already removed his tattered clothing.

Hospital trauma teams, who had been alerted that he was on his way, were already in protective gowns and gloves. There were about 20 patients already in a different part of the emergency department.

Schoenfeld said caregivers swung into action, placing a breathing tube in Tsarnaev’s throat and tubes in his chest to release pressure from his lungs. Schoenfeld brought in a tray with instruments to cut open his chest to see if his heart was damaged. But, with massive blood loss from his wounds, Tsarvaev could not be saved, emergency department physicians said.

Schoenfeld said doctors and nurses treated the patient like any other, even as they were aware “this was not a normal night for trauma.’’

“It’s really about the relationship you have with the patient,’’ said Dr. Richard Wolfe, head of the hospital’s emergency department. “You have to put their interest first during that period. It doesn’t matter if it’s a perpetrator or the president.’’

Tsarnaev was declared dead at 1:35 a.m.

...."We had three or four trauma teams in different rooms set up and ready," unsure of whether they would be treating a bombing suspect, injured police or bystanders, Schoenfeld said.

The older Tsarnaev's clothes had been cut off by emergency responders at the scene, so if he had been wearing a vest with explosives, he wasn't by the time he arrived at the hospital, the doctor said.

"From head to toe, every region of his body had injuries," he said. "His legs and arms were intact – he wasn't blown into a million pieces" – but he lost a pulse and was in cardiac arrest, meaning his heart and circulation had stopped, so CPR, or cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, was started.

Schoenfeld did not address police's assertion that Tsarnaev was run over by a car driven by his brother as he fled the gunfire.

The doctor said he couldn't discuss specific treatments in the case except to say what is usually done in such circumstances, including putting a needle in the chest to relieve pressure that can damage blood vessels, and cutting open the chest and using rib-spreaders to let doctors drain blood in the sac around the heart that can put pressure on the heart and keep it from beating.....

BTW Ron, are you saying that OKC was NOT a domestic attack?

There was evidence of Iraqi involvement. It's all in the book The Third Terrorist, which was praised by former CIA director Woolsey among others. This is evidence that the FBI ignored as fervently as it ignored the evidence of a JFK conspiracy. (Naturally the mainstream media dutifully ignored it too.) The FBI always "rises" to the occasion when needed. The corruption at that agency didn't die with J. Edgar Hoover.

If this debacle is representative of what they do in the routine performance of their tasks of investigation, arrest, and prosecution, supported by a cooperative, compliant, and incurious corporate media, is it any wonder we in the U.S. enjoy the highest per capita incarceration rate in the world?

So you think this was a "routine" case?

As for Colby's (is there a "Colby" or is that a collective name?) comment, on the one hand he makes my point, namely that we went somewhere else rather than look at the most likely source, thus "sweeping it under the rug."

You aren't nearly as clever as you imagine yourself to be, not by a long shot. The group that carried out the attacks was located in Afghanistan and under the protection of its government. As for Graham if I'm not mistaken he said that Saudis not "the Saudis" financed AQ and he only started saying such things years later when he had a book to sell.

Look at the Piers Morgan interview. AJ was lambasted by many for being so aggressively over the top. But who ended up looking ridiculous? AJ subsequently filmed a sign outside Morgan's estate, which informed the public that it was protected by armed guards! Exposing that kind of monumental hypocrisy resonates with the public.

Even most 2nd Amendment types realize Jones' nutzo frothing at the mouth set back their cause. Were any of Morgan's supposed armed guards carrying assault rifles, or guns with high capacity clips? Had any of them obtained guns withOUT going through background checks?

Don't forget the OKC bombing. The FBI ignored the evidence of foreign (Iraqi) involvement, which had to be uncovered by independent research, most notably by the author of The Third Terrorist, an investigative journalist whom former CIA director Wolsey called a national hero. The official culprits were two lone rednecks, one of whom was executed ASAP.

.

Yeah those 8 plus years didn't give him enough time to spill the beans.

Yeah those 8 plus years didn't give him enough time to spill the beans.

I don't recall how long he spent in prison. I remember there was some effort to delay his execution, based on evidence of a wider conspiracy, but Attorney General Ashcroft wasn't interested and couldn't wait to get rid of him.

Confirmed: Both FBI & CIA Watched Boston Bombing Suspects for Years

By Tony Cartalucci

http://landdestroyer.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/confirmed-both-fbi-cia-watched-boston.html

FBI & CIA now admit to putting Boston bombing suspect on 2 "watch lists," directly contradicting previous public statements. CIA most likely sponsored suspect's trips to meet US-backed terrorists in Chechnya, Russia.

April 25, 2013 (LD) - It is now confirmed that Russian investigators contacted the FBI at least as early as 2011 in regards to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, and again just 6 months before the Boston attacks. Additionally, it is now revealed that both the FBI and CIA had Tsarnaev on at least 2 terrorist watch lists, contradicting previous FBI statements that the case was "closed" after not finding "any terrorism activity, domestic or foreign."

FBI Caught in Staggering Series of Lies

The suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev and brother Dzhokar Tsarnaev, would be revealed to the public by the FBI a day after a bizarre press conference cancellation and a security scare at the federal courthouse where a suspect was allegedly being brought.

The FBI would feign ignorance over the suspects' identity, appealing to the witless public for help identifying and apprehending them. It would be claimed by the suspects' family members that the FBI had long been in contact with Tamerlan Tsarnaev, and that the bombing was a set-up.

The FBI's bizarre behavior grew more suspicious when CBS reported that initially the FBI denied it had any prior contact with the Tsarnaev's. In their report, "CBS News: FBI Interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev 2 Years Ago," CBS claimed:

CBS News reports although the FBI initially denied contacting Tsarnaev, the brothers’ mother said they had in an interview with Russia Today.

That interview with Russia Today, in an article titled, "'They were set up, FBI followed them for years'- Tsarnaevs' mother to RT," stated of the suspects' mother:

But her biggest suspicion surrounding the case was the constant FBI surveillance she said her family was subjected to over the years. She is surprised that having been so stringent with the entire family, the FBI had no idea the sons were supposedly planning a terrorist act.She would say of the FBI to Russia Today:

“They used to come [to our] home, they used to talk to me…they were telling me that he [the older, 26-y/o Tamerlan] was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him. They told me whatever information he is getting, he gets from these extremist sites… they were controlling him, they were controlling his every step…and now they say that this is a terrorist act! Never ever is this true, my sons are innocent!”

The FBI would finally recant its earlier denial, and disclose on April 19, 2013 in an official statement on FBI.gov that indeed, they had been in contact with Tamerlan Tsarnaev as early as 2011:

The two individuals believed to be responsible for the Boston Marathon bombings on Monday have been positively identified as Tamerlan Tsarnaev, now deceased, and Dzhokar Tsarnaev, now in custody. These individuals are brothers and residents of Massachusetts. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a legal permanent resident and Dzhokar Tsarnaev is a naturalized U.S. citizen. Charges have not yet been filed against Dzhokar Tsarnaev and he is presumed innocent.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, age 26, was previously designated as Suspect 1, wearing a black hat. Dzhokar A. Tsarnaev, age 19, was designated as Suspect 2, wearing a white hat. Both were born in Kyrgyzstan.

Once the FBI learned the identities of the two brothers today, the FBI reviewed its records and determined that in early 2011, a foreign government asked the FBI for information about Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The request stated that it was based on information that he was a follower of radical Islam and a strong believer, and that he had changed drastically since 2010 as he prepared to leave the United States for travel to the country’s region to join unspecified underground groups.

In response to this 2011 request, the FBI checked U.S. government databases and other information to look for such things as derogatory telephone communications, possible use of online sites associated with the promotion of radical activity, associations with other persons of interest, travel history and plans, and education history. The FBI also interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev and family members. The FBI did not find any terrorism activity, domestic or foreign, and those results were provided to the foreign government in the summer of 2011. The FBI requested but did not receive more specific or additional information from the foreign government.

However, the case was not "closed." Additional evidence would reveal that the FBI had been warned again, just 6 months before the Boston bombings by Russian investigators. The FBI was told Tamerlan Tsarnaev had visited Russia and was in contact with known-terrorists operating in and around Chechnya. Somehow, this additional information "escaped" the FBI's April 19, 2013 public statement.

The British Daily Mail in their article titled, "Russia asked FBI to investigate bomber just 6 MONTHS ago after being spotted with 'a militant' on trip to Dagestan: Was it this known terrorist who Boston killer liked on YouTube?," would state:

Speculation is growing that one of the Boston bombers met a known Jihadist terrorist in 2011 - as it emerged the FBI failed to follow up on a Russian tip that he was seen with an Islamic militant six times.

The Daily Mail would also report that:

The FBI has confirmed that Russia alerted the agency in 2011 that Tsarnaev had ties to 'radical Islam' groups in his homeland. Homeland Security sources have also revealed the agency received tips in 2012 about his ties to extremists connected to a Boston mosque.

In the wake of the FBI's serial lies, yet more evidence is coming to light of now not only the FBI's increasingly entangled relationship with the suspects prior to the bombing, but the CIA's role as well. In the New York Times article, "2 U.S. Agencies Added Boston Bomb Suspect to Watch Lists," it was reported that:

Despite being told in 2011 that an F.B.I. review had found that a man who went on to become one of the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings had no ties to extremists, the Russian government asked the Central Intelligence Agency six months later for whatever information it had on him, American officials said Wednesday.

After its review, the C.I.A. also told the Russian intelligence service that it had no suspicious information on the man, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed in a shootout with the police early last Friday. It is not clear what prompted the Russians to make the request of the C.I.A.

The upshot of the American inquiries into Mr. Tsarnaev’s background was that even though he was found to have no connections to extremist groups, his name was entered into two different United States government watch lists in late 2011 that were designed to alert the authorities if he traveled overseas.

Therefore, in addition to first denying, then confirming having interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2011 and never mentioning the now confirmed warning by Russia just 6 months ago, the FBI and CIA also put Tsarnaev on at least 2 terrorist watch lists. Inexplicably, the FBI would have the public believe they found no evidence of terrorist activity, but then put Tsarnaev's name on 2 separate terrorist watch lists anyway - and still somehow failed to prevent the Boston bombings. Clearly, that doesn't add up.

Evidence Points to Tsarnaev as CIA Asset

While the establishment media predictably attempts to make the serial lies told by the FBI, and both FBI and CIA's involvement and foreknowledge of the suspects years before the Boston attacks, appear to be just an innocent bureaucratic foul-up, former-FBI translator Sibel Edmonds reported in incredible detail what most likely transpired, even before revelations of the CIA's involvement became public.

In a 45 minute interview on the Corbett Report, Edmonds explained that multiple warnings by Russian investigators to the FBI were likely ignored because the CIA was in all probability using Tamerlan Tsarnaev as an asset to travel to Russia's Caucasus region and make contact with US-backed terrorists.

It is a long-documented fact that the United States has extensively backed terrorists operating in Russia's Caucasus region.

It is clear that at the very least, the FBI, CIA, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and other federal agencies knew well ahead of time of Boston Marathon bombing suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, and did nothing to prevent him from allegedly carrying out an attack. Understanding the insidious behavior of both the FBI and CIA, opens up a second and more troubling possibility - that the FBI and/or the CIA were directly involved in the Boston bombings themselves, using the Tsarnaev brothers as patsies.

Regardless of which is true - there is more than enough evidence currently to remove the FBI from the Boston bombing investigation and open an immediate and urgent inquiry into both the FBI and CIA's involvement and criminal improprieties in the lead up to the attacks.

There is also enough evidence for the American people to realize they have exchanged for the past decade, their liberty and dignity for safety and clearly have been left none of the above. It is also now clear that the American people possess the moral imperative to seize back their liberties and to throw off this expansive, ineffectual, stifling, incompetent and/or criminal federal security apparatus - from the DHS and TSA, to the FBI and CIA - who despite receiving billions annually and nearly limitless authority failed utterly to prevent the Boston Marathon bombings, and in fact appear to have played a central role in facilitating them.

Boston bombers’ uncle married daughter of top CIA official

by Daniel Hopsicker, April 26, 2013

http://www.madcowprod.com/2013/04/26/boston-bombers-uncle-married-daughter-of-top-cia-official/

The uncle of the two suspected Boston bombers in last week’s attack, Ruslan Tsarni, was married to the daughter of former top CIA official Graham Fuller

The discovery that Uncle Ruslan Tsarni had spy connections that go far deeper than had been previously known is ironic, especially since the mainstrean media's focus yesterday was on a feverish search to find who might have recruited the Tsarnaev brothers.

The chief suspect was a red-haired Armenian exorcist. They were fingering a suspect who may not, in fact, even exist.

It was like blaming one-armed hippies on acid for killing your wife.

Ruslan Tsarni married the daughter of former top CIA Graham Fuller, who spent 20 years as operations officer in Turkey, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Hong Kong. In 1982 Fuller was appointed the National Intelligence Officer for Near East and South Asia at the CIA, and in 1986, under Ronald Reagan, he became the Vice-Chairman of the National Intelligence Council, with overall responsibility for national level strategic forecasting.

At the time of their marriage, Ruslan Tsarni was known as Ruslan Tsarnaev, the same last name as his nephews Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the alleged bombers.

It is unknown when he changed his last name to Tsarni.

What is known is that sometime in the early 1990’s, while she was a graduate student in North Carolina, and he was in law school at Duke, Ruslan Tsarnaev met and married Samantha Ankara Fuller, the daughter of Graham and Prudence Fuller of Rockville Maryland. Her middle name suggests a reference to one of her father’s CIA postings.

The couple divorced sometime before 2004.

Today Ms. Fuller lives abroad, and is a director of several companies pursuing strategies to increase energy production from clean-burning and renewable resources.

On a more ominous note, Graham Fuller was listed as one of the American Deep State rogues on Sibel Edmonds' State Secrets Privilege Gallery,. Edmonds explained it featured subjects of FBI investigations she became aware of during her time as an FBI translator.

Criminal activities were being protected by claims of State Secrets, she asserted. After Attorney General John Ashcroft went all the way to the Supreme Court to muzzle her under a little-used doctrine of State Secrets, she put up twenty-one photos, with no names.

One of them was Graham Fuller.

"Congress of Chechen International" c/o Graham Fuller

The Chechen uncle of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, paired up with a top CIA official, who once served as CIA Station Chief in Kabul, may sound like a pitch for a bad movie:

"Get Smart Meets the Odd Couple."

But they may have been in business together.

In 1995, Tsarnaev incorporated the Congress of Chechen International Organizations in Maryland, using as the address listed on incorporation documents 11114 Whisperwood Ln, in Rockville Maryland, the home address of his then-father-in-law.

It is just eight miles up the Washington National Pike from the Montgomery Village home where “Uncle Ruslan” met—and apparently wowed, the press after the attack in Boston.

The Washington Post yesterday called him a "media maven," while nationally syndicated Washington Post columnist Ester Cepeda , in a piece with the headline “The Wise Words of Uncle Ruslan” opined that he was her choice for "an award for bravery in the face of adversity.”

Success through indirection, mis-direction, redirection, and protection

Uncle Ruslan’s spy connections go far deeper than was already known, which was that he spent two years working in Kazakhstan for USAID.

But the mainstream media was lookng the other way.

Under the headline “Did 'Misha' influence Tsarnaevs? In Watertown, doubts,” USA Today reported: “Misha. A new name has emerged in the Boston Marathon bombing case—one familiar to the family of the two young men accused of the atrocity and apparently of interest to the Russian and American security services as well.”

Ruslan Tsarni was the first to bring up the supposed man's supposed name. Or rather, he brought up a first name: Misha. But it was enough. We were off to the races…

Attention all cars: Be on lookout for chubby Armenian exorcist

Tsarni described Misha to CNN as being "chubby, a big guy, big mouth presenting himself with some kind of abilities as exorcist . . . having some part-time job in one of the stores, not married. All of the qualifications of a loser, just another big mouth.”

According to Uncle Ruslan, Misha was the man who over a considerable period of time had radicalized Tamerlan.

It seemed strange, then, that in contrast to his “you are there” verbal picture of the man, even with all his supposed concerns, and given his high level of education and abundant resources (Big Sky Energy was paying him in excess of $200,00 a year, according to documents filed with the SEC) Ruslan had somehow never found out just who the bad guy was.

He never got a name, something that in spook-dom is considered something of a faux pas. Then again, no one else had either.

Worse, Tsarni's vivid description seemed to be taken from personal observation, from, in other words…real life. But that isn’t possible. Tsarni had stated he hadn’t been physically in the presence of his Boston relatives since December 2005. And Misha, if he existed, didn’t show up on the scene until 2008 at the earliest.

Still, just a few days later, the entire family began chiming in. Misha anecdotes were flying fast & furious, and the nation’s scribblers were busy uncritically scribbling down their every word.

Maybe their Twitter account got hacked again?

No performance was nearly as masterful, however, as that of the Associated Press.

“Bomb suspect influenced by mysterious radical,” reported the Associated Press.

"Tamerlan's relationship with Misha could be a clue in understanding the motives behind his religious transformation and, ultimately, the attack itself," reported the Associate Press. Only to take it all back in the very next line.

"Two U.S. officials say he had no tie to terrorist groups."

The AP’s “story” about the mysterious “Misha” was 1145 words, long enough for an editor to squeeze in a caveat.

“It was not immediately clear whether the FBI has spoken to Misha or was attempting to,” the national wire service reported. “Efforts over several days by The Associated Press to identify and interview Misha have been unsuccessful.”

The big difference: when you do it, its conspiracy theory. When we do it, its informed speculation.

In any other context, this might be seen as the rankest kind of “conspiracy theory.” But, apparently, when the Associated Press does it, its news.

Then Uncle Ruslan made a clear mis-step.

“An uncle of the alleged bombers claims that Misha, an Armenian convert to Islam, had a huge influence on the elder brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Describing him as an "Armenia exorcist, Tsarni said, “Somehow he just took his brain.”

Armenians are a deeply-rooted Christian community, which is proud of the fact that their country was the first in the world to adopt Christianity as state religion in 301 AD.

Moreover this is the week every year when they remember the Armenian Holocaust, when as many as 1,000,000 Armenians were slaughtered by Turkish Muslims.

In the large and close-knit Boston Armenian community, a red-bearded Armenian named Misha becoming a radicalized Muslim would stand out.

"I've never heard of him, nor has anyone that I know," Hilda Avedissian, executive director at the Armenian Cultural & Educational Centre.

So what if the guy was involved with biggest bank fraud in history?

"For an Armenian to convert to Islam is like finding a unicorn in a field," Nerses Zurabyan, 32, an information technology director who lives in nearby Cambridge told USA Today.

The report reveals that the bomber’s Uncle, made famous for his outspoken condemnation of his nephew’s which aired repeatedly on international news networks, is a well-connected oil executive who at one point worked for a Halliburton shell company used as a front to obtain oil contracts from the Kazakh State.

Ruslon Tsarni was implicated in an investigation involving the laundering and theft of $6 billion. But everybody loves Uncle Ruslon. At least most of America’s mainstream media does.

There has, to date, been no speculation at all about whether an uncle of the men suspected of the bombing who had been involved in international intrigue at the hightest levels, and who married the daughter of a top CIA official, might warrant a closer look.

It’s enough, isn’t it, to turn even reasonably rational adults into—gasp!—conspiracy theorists.

“News,” someone once wrote, “is selection. And selection is always based on an ideology and agenda, which is something to remember next time you watch, listen or read the ‘news.’”

Too true.

Confirmed: Both FBI & CIA Watched Boston Bombing Suspects for Years

By Tony Cartalucci

http://landdestroyer...hed-boston.html

CIA most likely sponsored suspect's trips to meet US-backed terrorists in Chechnya, Russia.

“Tony Cartalucci” (some claim its a pseudonym) doesn't fail to disapoint he's as crackpotty as ever. He failed to establish the “CIA most likely sponsored” Tamerlan's trip or that he met “ US-backed terrorists” while on it. He even got the coutry wrong he went to Dagestan not Chechnya.

It is now confirmed that Russian investigators contacted the FBI at least as early as 2011 in regards to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, and again just 6 months before the Boston attacks.

The 1st part is true the 2nd questionable, his only source was the Daily Mail, which in turn attributed the story to NBC, “On Sunday, a Dagistani police official source revealed to NBC News that the Russian internal security service contacted the FBI in November with some questions about Tamerlan and handed over a copy of a case file on him.” So the report seems to based on a single anonymous source and to make things worse the linked NBC story said nothing of the sort, it was focused on 'Jahar' and only mentioned Tamerlan in passing. I was unable to find any other reports of this on NBC or elsewhere, and Cartalucci isn't an idiot he knows the closer to the original the better, thus he obviously couldn't find it either.

But even if NBC really did report this and the supposed “Dagistani police official source” was correct this is NOT evidence that either (let alone both) the FBI or CIA watched either (let alone both) brothers for years. The only evidence of this are the claims of their mother the thief that the FBI was monitoring her 1st born.

former-FBI translator Sibel Edmonds...explained that multiple warnings by Russian investigators to the FBI were likely ignored because the CIA was in all probability using Tamerlan Tsarnaev as an asset to travel to Russia's Caucasus region and make contact with US-backed terrorists.

Edmonds was an entry-level contract FBI translator for a few month over a decade ago. Claims that she has current expertise regarding the bureau’s translation operations are questionable, regarding other parts of their operations are risible and regarding covert CIA ops beyond absurd.

Running of the Bull

http://prezbyter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/running-of-bullxxxx.html?zx=9f6767f3cf918438

"We're satisfied the two main actors, the people that were committing the damage out there, have been either captured or killed." Boston Police Commissioner, Ed Davis

We appear faced with yet another grand performance in the increasingly high drama that is the United States of America, a horrifying spectacle disguised as a terrifying nation. The USA has become the traveling Cirque de Hades, putting on fiery displays with thunderous ovation in all the places we grace with our presence, our militarily festooned actors a brutal and cautious reminder that as the show goes on, any may be called upon to perform.

Our mandatory participation becomes as an indentured repertory company with featured performers – the earnest, hard-working public officials trying to get to the bottom of it and the wily conspirators confounding them up to their ineluctable, fiery demise – and of course the randomly recruited bit players, blown to bits by the swarthy, heartless bad guys who hate them for their perceived freedom.

In the Main Stream and surging through the Interweb the pundits, apologists and kooks join the fray offering all manner of defense of a system in decay, or recrimination for a system willfully self-destructing. I readily offer myself upon the altar of the dysphemism treadmill as a kook with the full understanding that such a moniker self-applied becomes diminished necessarily because it is the opinion of a kook. And one would be a kook to agree with someone like that.

I am not the kind of guy who never met a conspiracy theory he didn’t like. Frankly, as compelling as many of them are, they represent a tragic disconnect between appreciable reality and public perception which is disturbing to me. Those who challenge the orthodoxy in a forward-thinking culture would be held in esteem – they are the truth seekers, the vanguard against power run amok. Instead, where not the butt of social joke, we are increasingly trotted out as the instigators of minds prone to carnage.

Both AP and Huffington Post have suggested that the executed accused, Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s, immersion in conspiracy theories led to his radical response as demonstrated on tax day in Boston. As most conspiracy theories (at least the ones I consider) are the repudiation of violence and demand for accountability from the perpetrators, whoever they might be, one wonders how blowing up some people at a public event can be seen as an appropriate response to such inquiry. For the most part, it is the people in the Main Stream that call for killings and bombings. I don’t know of any conspiracy ‘kooks’ who do that.

Think about it for a paragraph: what do conspiracy kooks really want? What is our big demand? Accountability. That’s all. We want the mighty to be judged and repudiated just as the weak are. We want the people who really killed President Kennedy brought to justice. Same with the killers of his brother or Martin Luther King and each and every motherxxxxer involved in the horrid crimes of 9/11 – we want them imprisoned. We seek justice. That’s why people think we’re kooks. We look at the official story and see it for what it is. For calling bullxxxx when we see it, we increasingly become associated with the very thing we reject.

Chilling.

As with 9/11, the authorities readily acknowledge this as a conspiracy. When the FBI called upon the public to help identify someone they had been in contact with for over two years, they were very specific that we don’t look at the wrong suspicious characters, only the federally approved ones. We needn’t waste their time pointing out the military contractors with backpacks photographed near the site of the explosions. They apparently already knew who they were.

Curiously, one of the groups ready to point the guilty finger at the truth seekers is the FBI, who have been involved in bombings in the USA for decades. This organization provoked considerable ire when they murdered Vicky Weaver and her son while harassing her husband at Ruby Ridge. They also murdered a bunch of children in Waco while harassing their religious leader, David Koresh. This only a couple of months after they successfully bombed the World Trade Center in New York in 1993 with the help of some terrorists they were running.

"There is still an open question as to exactly what happened in this investigation. We can't say with 100 percent certainty...anything, actually, at this point." Ed Davis, again

We jump to convict Tamerlan and Dzhokhar in the media, owing to suspicions raised about them by the authorities. The authorities that pronounce unequivocally that they have caught or killed the bad guys, then state that they can’t be certain of anything. The authorities who killed one of them and will assuredly silence the other, already claiming he may never speak again. All based upon suspicion. Execution by accusation.

But even though it does the brothers Tsarnaev no good, let us remember others accused by the same authorities in regard to the marathon bombings, ultimately released back into the wild: a Saudi national was detained and released after his place was searched, turning up nothing – said he was in the wrong place at the wrong time; one supposes because people like him are known to blow things up. A couple of guys were detained in a cab that was stopped, as well as at least three others, all based upon mistaken ID. One, looking strikingly like Tamerlan, was stripped naked and placed in a police car on camera only to be released – with no name – so we are told.

This is interesting because a New Zealand news site offering transcripts of police band chatter reveals that the night Tamerlan was caught and killed was the same night they caught and stripped the suspect. Supposedly this occurred during the gun battle with the brothers, in Watertown, Massachusetts. A caller to a radio station purporting to be a witness said that a police vehicle hit Tamerlan and that they shot him repeatedly. The footage of the naked man shows a fellow of the same age, build, height, hair color and style as Tamerlan. He puts up no resistance to them, naked and handcuffed there, and gets in their car. Next thing we know, he’s dying in the street, run over by his brother, according to official accounts.

The footage of the detaining of the naked man is very telling: A remote reporter interviews a journalist from his station about the arrest and the journalist states that he followed the police to a point where he could see all manner of them, in full military regalia, drawing down and shouting at someone to get out of a car which was off camera for him. He then stated that the person of interest surrendered (still out of view) and the police relaxed their assault posture. They then brought their suspect out, stripped him, handcuffed him and perp-walked him into the back of their car.

The reporter didn’t describe a crazed shoot-out, or bodies on the street with people throwing hand-grenades made of fully laden pressure cookers (think about 30 pounds); he described the authorities shouting someone down, that man surrendering and them stripping and detaining him. The police band broadcast has them detaining two suspects, one whom they release (see photo, clearly not the naked man) and the other whom they claim was killed by his brother. They also state that there is a suspect at large. Tamerlan then was the naked man. The authorities lied.

A considerable lie, wouldn’t you say? So, they admit they got it wrong with five of the people they accused. As they existed in very visible abundance on the day of the bombings and no place more than near the finish line, they also admit that all of the security measures and precautions they had taken were utterly useless. Just like on 9/11, the full weight of the system’s shockingly awesome defensive and protective forces were completely confounded by determined amateurs, homicidal vandals with nothing better to do than destroy people and their things.

Because that is what this again comes down to: 9/11 as well as the Boston Massacre II were not acts of actual terrorism so much as vandalism. Homicidal vandalism. Terrorism is in response to something and as such comes with demands: stop doing this, quit bombing that, release our imprisoned comrades, etc. 9/11 and BMII came with no demands (beyond those of the system which demands our compliance and that we further relinquish any remaining notion of rights) and no grievances have been aired.

Terrorists take credit for their acts; they are done with an objective (beyond carnage) in mind. No one took credit for either of those atrocities and no reasonably attainable objective can be discerned for those accused. (The same cannot be said for the accusers, for with each of these attacks they get more of what they want.) These acts, according to the government of the USA, were motivated by nothing beyond anti-social malice. That’s a hell of a thing to suggest.

Does it make sense?

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick on Meet the Press stated, in regard to Dzhokhar’s guilt as determined by the videos the FBI used to ID him, “It’s pretty clear about his involvement and pretty chilling frankly…”

The Governor acknowledged that he hadn’t personally seen the "chilling" video but apparently was cooled enough by the description of the publically unaired footage to pronounce them guilty. He seemed quite happy, even though he acknowledged that Dzhokhar didn’t behave like someone who had committed such a heinous act, he having returned to his normal scholastic activities immediately afterwards.

“When you consider the enormity of what he was responsible for, it certainly raises a lot of questions in my mind…”

So on one hand the Governor is content to pass judgment upon a grievously injured teenaged suspect based upon footage he didn’t see of him setting his backpack bomb and walking away, yet still has some questions owing to Dzhokhar’s inexplicable behavior subsequent to what would admittedly be a fairly significant event in most 19-year olds' lives. Just as Big Ed Davis readily pronounced the actors of the crime guilty and vanquished left himself an out by stating there were still many unanswered questions, the governor gives himself a pass as well.

It appears, as the power structure further entrenches itself in its escalating conflict against those who ultimately feed and clothe them, their actors are more willing to show, or are less incapable of concealing, what’s really going on. Slipspeak – truth snippets from unexpected sources. Why would Big Ed Davis call the perpetrators of this madness actors? Were they being directed off-camera? Was that his implied message?

Was he playing to or admitting to the suspicions of an increasing number of people that this was a staged performance? Micro-scrutiny of an event so photographed is going to occur in a nation where half the workforce is sitting around on-line, either employed or not. Frankly it seems a better social use of time challenging dubious authoritarian proclamation than trolling beaver.cum for unilateral dating opportunities, but idle time offers much to keep on one’s hands and both activities can be enjoyed by those so inclined.

Why do people feel it was a staged event? The explosions to begin with: big and billowy, loud and flashy but signifying much less than the IED bombs that go off in, say, Iraq or Afghanistan in sheer carnage and property damage. Were pressure cookers actually filled with projectiles and explosives, the public and property damage would likely have been far greater. Yet photos show windows in direct line with the blast blown outward, toward the explosion, not inward toward the business, as one would expect were numerous projectiles burst toward them.

They show people clustered around the thing that blew them apart: bombs burst from a fixed position and whatever is around them is blown away from the explosion. Yet photos show people clustered where they should be dispersed with an explosive of such magnitude. Their clothes are ripped from their bodies but no burns or torn flesh or spurting blood is evidenced, while others stand nearby watching instead of diving to the ground which most would do if something exploded but a few yards from them.

The explosions looked like special effects, something seen in movies or on TV. Real explosions are hot and fast, completely uninteresting for camera because they are over so quickly. Try filming a firecracker exploding. To achieve an even marginally interesting explosion on camera the normal 24 frames per second must be cranked up to 300. And it’s still over in a flash. As on 9/11 they were placed and timed for maximum camera capture – get all eyes and lenses turned toward the first explosion and when the second goes off, boom! the money shot.

Runners reported the presence of militarized police and their sniffy dog partners along the route with announcements over loud speakers that they were to remain calm, running there as they were, as the authorities were just doing some drills. Live fire bomb drills. In Boston, on the day of the marathon. Like in Washington DC or New York on 9/11 when they were doing drills for, you know, a terrorist attack. Or in London of 7/7 when they were doing drills for exactly the very kinds of bombings that went on that day.

This doesn’t escape those with historical grasp – live fire drills occurring just as random unknown terrorists show up for the real thing. Emergency management drills on the very day in the very place that random, unknown terrorists show up and blow the xxxx out of everything. Does a reasonable mind merely pass this off to coincidence?

What of the military cut-outs who some suggest work for the private mercenary organization, Craft? They are all in the same tan khakis and boots, black jackets, dark glasses and big black backpacks, like the ones used to conceal the bombs, not little grey ones like Dzhokhar’s. Three of them appear to be some policemen who were interviewed on camera for the Sandy Hook slaughter, though why three Connecticut police officers would be at the finish line of the Boston marathon precisely when things started exploding has to go on to the expanding list of those pesky questions. I for one am glad they are being asked.

Then we have Jeffery Bauman, the one who fingered Tamerlan as the mad bomber. He said that Tamerlan looked him in the eye, then walked away, Jeffery apparently uninterested in the reason a stranger would just set a laden backpack on the street at his feet and then leave. Jeffery identified Tamerlan from his hospital bed. Jeffery is the guy in the pictures being wheeled away from the carnage with his legs blown off.

Jeffery is a conundrum. Invisible before the event, he inexplicably became even less visible to those around him during it. Then he became a hero. Photo after photo shows him lying, writhing on the blood splattered pavement, his legs blown to shreds, surrounded by people completely oblivious to him. Next to him lies a fellow in a dark hoodie and dark glasses. In one shot, surrounded by smoke and pandemonium, Jeffery lying legless before him, he puts his dark glasses on. As many of the emergency workers were also in dark glasses, perhaps it was a fashion thing.

In another shot, the hoodie dude lies on his side in a casual pose listening to someone shouting instructions, Jeffery writhing around on the ground behind him. Nobody is even looking at him. The hoodie dude is apparently whole, no blood spurting out, his limbs intact; he changes position from shot to shot with no wailing or apparent difficulty. Yet there is a shot of him being tended to by two guys in gloves while Jeffery lies unattended inches from them, completely ignored.

Then, to make it all the more plausible, they wheel some people clearly less injured out on gurneys, but Jeffery, who has just had his legs blown off, which I think would probably hurt like hell, they roll out in a wheel chair. Now, I can’t speak for others, but if I had my legs blown off, I think I’d want to keep off of them. Instead, they put him in a wheel chair. Lots of gory shots of him, you know, for kids.

So, two days after a considerable event in his life, in a hospital bed, loaded up on goofballs, Jeffery IDs Tamerlan as his antagonist. And while I am angered at any loss of life or limb to senseless and unnecessary violence, I feel a responsibility to raise the question: could not the person who set the bomb be among those impacted by it? Is it plausible post 9/11 that a swarthy stranger setting a mysterious and heavy backpack at the feet of a bystander in a crowd, then looking into his eyes and fleeing, would elicit no response? It seems to me a hero would have immediately alerted authorities regarding such a thing, not just stood there until it exploded.

As established, by their own accounting as well as those of reporters on the ground, Tamerlan was taken without incident (beyond his shameful public nudity) only to be murdered disgracefully by the authorities. They accused him / they executed him. They lied to us about it. They also stated that Dzhokhar engaged them in a shootout, hiding there in a Watertown local’s boat, then shot himself in the throat a la Tyler Durden in Fight Club.

The Israeli doctor at Beth Israel hospital where both the Muslim brothers were taken for treatment stated that Dzhokhar probably would never speak again. Yet the LA Times reported that the young ruffian cursed the people in the ambulance mightily on his ride to what might strike some as an interesting choice of hospitals. Then another lie: it turns out, contrary to multiple police reports, that Dzhokhar had no gun. It was another one-way shootout.

Coupled with official warnings to not believe a word that comes out of their mouths, we have the words that come out of their mouths. No decisive video footage showing the boys in their nefarious deeds. No conclusive still photos. No logical course of action, no reasonable characterization of events, all official statements are contradictions. We are expected to accept ridiculous piled on ridiculouser. That's ridiculous.

I haven’t found any shots directly preceding the explosions, yet all manner of wide and gory representation immediately afterwards. It seems the shots prior would be of more interest than all the ones immediately afterwards because they tell much more. Cameras were pointed that way; numerous high resolution shots exist of the moments immediately subsequent to the event in grim relief. Where are the same angles just before? In those shots we might see Tamerlan set his bundle before Jeffery, standing there.

Or maybe something else entirely.

“Look, we live in a very dangerous world. We know there are people who want to take away our freedoms. New Yorkers probably know that as much if not more than anybody else after the terrible tragedy of 9/11.” New York Mayor, Nanny Bloomberg

We are to believe that the expanding police state is the result of anti-social miscreants like the brothers Tsarnaev or brown people who don’t speak English so good half a world away, but in fact it is people like Bloomberg who work to enslave us, to steal our freedom. It is American politicians who gut the Constitution, not the bin Ladens or Husseins or even the instructive minority. They reap the benefits of the police state they demand and the citizens pay the price. They show us that all their Draconian measures are useless against virtually any threat they can manifest, then demand that we get more Draconian still. As with physicians of old, if you don’t improve from the mercury treatment they’re clearly not giving you enough.

“The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry. But we live in a complex world where you’re going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change.” Bloomberg again

That doesn’t sound good. So, to further expose the masterminds behind our rapidly diminishing freedoms the Mayor supports the further diminution of our freedom. BMII was clearly a test of the people in regard to their Fourth Amendment rights as armed militarized teams stormed through Watertown homes for no apparent reason other than to see if they could get away with it.

They did.

Bloomberg is among the new vanguard not content to control the content of our heads, but indeed working to control our physical content as well. Oddly, privacy, it seems, should only be applied to those in public office. We must be open to every intrusion they impose upon us for our own good. To protect our freedom we must surrender our liberty.

And as the leader of the free world, how does the estimable President of the United States weigh in?

"Any time bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it is an act of terror."

The terrorists reveal themselves.

Remain calm – this is not a drill.

Peace

Boston bombers’ uncle married daughter of top CIA official

Paul I missed any proof that Ruslan Tsarni and Ruslan Tsarnaev are one and the same or any evidence that Samantha Ankara Fuller is the daughter of Samuel Fuller. In any case Tsarnev and Fuller were divorced in or before 2004 per Hopstroker's evidence.

Not to worry, Len, I've asked Tom Scully to compile an enormous data dump of genealogical newspaper links tracing the respective families all the way back to nitrogen in the atmosphere.

Don't know about you, but I can't wait.
