Quote of the Day:

The terrible thing about terrorism is that ultimately it destroys those who practice it. Slowly but surely, as they try to extinguish life in others, the light within them dies.

  1. Alex Jones
    I must admit that the man disgusts me. Professional conspiracy theorists –and make no mistake that Alex profits from scaring the crap out of people– are almost as annoying as professional debunkers.

    I say ‘almost’, because usually they are more entertaining, but I concede with Paul Kimball (per Twitter exchange) in that they can also be far more dangerous.

    PS: That’s not to say the date chosen for this crime is not without significance.

    1. This is yet another public
      This is yet another public spectacle that should be closely scrutinised. It has all the earmarks of past Gladio type terror events. Once you absorb how 911 and the London subway bombing were orchestrated you then are auromatically asking questions and as a genuine citizen you should be asking these questions. The owned mass media news will not not do the due diligence. Quite obviously the mass media and government are pushing a constant meme of fear and terror, so it behooves us to deeply analyze all of these terror events.

      Local story censored from national feed

      University of Mobile’s Cross Country Coach, who was near the finish line of the Boston Marathon when a series of explosions went off, said he thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines.

      “They kept making announcements to the participants do not worry, it’s just a training exercise,” Coach Ali Stevenson told Local 15.

      (Shades of 9/11 when workers in the South Tower were told to go back into their offices. That the fire was under control.)

      Stevenson said he saw law enforcement spotters on the roofs at the start of the race. He’s been in plenty of marathons in Chicago, D.C., Chicago, London and other major metropolitan areas but has never seen that level of security before.

      1. Just my opinion, but…
        ..the presence of bomb-sniffing dogs doesn’t so much suggest insider involvement in this instance as foreknowledge of an impending threat, which they were afraid to publicize, IMO. Think about it: if the government were somehow involved with orchestrating an explosive event, why would they also have bomb-sniffing dogs out? Makes no sense. (Don’t get me wrong: I feel 9/11 was an orchestrated event, but that had very different earmarks; to my mind, sending the workers in the South Tower back up could have simply been the decision of lower-level lackeys who weren’t in on the full plan).

        1. No. The pre-positioning of
          No. The pre-positioning of policing presence has in the past been used to enure that there would be no interference with the op, and that the aftermath could be nursed along according to the story line. FEMA was in position the day before 911 at the WTC in order to take over the forensic evidence and make sure the more telling things were swept away and sequestered. Same sort of thing with the London subway bombing. The police were already in position so as to have forensic control of the bombing sites and take care of any evidence that might compromise the official story line. Same with the OKC bombing. The BATF just happened to be having a conference nearby and were immediately on the scene probably to take control of loose ends in the evidence laying about and to shape perceptions in the immediate aftermath. There were also undetonated bombs found in the offices of the BATF within the destroyed building
          Same with the “Shoe bomber.” He was accompanied by a government official to expedite his passing through security at the airport and thereby avoided a detailed search.
          Using law enforcement as a way to secure falae flag op sites is old book standard operating procedure for years. It may be that the Boston marathon was not that sort of operation, but it behooves us to immediately scrutinise for the signs of police state shenanigans. In times like these, it is due diligence.
          By the way we have never been shown the security camera footage of Lanza entering the school building at Newtown. A simple release of such entry door video would put to rest the theories that Lanza could not have acted alone, yet the police have refused to show us anything just as they have sequestered the all of the camera footage around the Pentagon on 911. Employing official entities to take control of evidence is standard operating procedure in states intent of terrorizing their citizenry into submission and relinquishment of civil liberties.

          1. Elohim
            Since the Boston Marathon event looks like it may be steered towards
            “Patriot” culprit whether real or artifically designated we might be interested in remembering how it went down with the OKC bombing.

            http://www.redshift.com/~damason/lhreport/articles/pseudo.html

            “Psychological operations of this level never happen without a multi-layered damage-control system pre-positioned in case some off-the-reservation hard-nosed reporter asks questions, or just to cover the prospect of a “Major Murphy.” (Murphy’s Law: “If anything can go wrong–it will”; a “Major Murphy” is when something goes badly wrong, and the public becomes acutely conscious of this fact.)”

    2. Dear Alex Jones,
      Please stop. This is just too soon. For goodness sake there was a child that died and many people will wake up in a hospital missing a leg, and in one case a jaw! Conspiracy theories need a 30 day waiting period at minimum please because frankly this is just plain disrespectful to the families at this point. Do you think if you, Alex, lost a family member or limb in a similar event, you would be going after the people who did this, or sobbing in a hospital and hugging family and friends. I’ll tell you what a human would do…

      In short, Alex Jones, as we from New York would say, piss off.

      (a letter to Alex Jones, not directed toward any of the above comments)

    1. Alex Jones may jump to
      Alex Jones may jump to conclusions too rapidly, but he is a vastly more ethical journalist for daring to bring more due diligence to journalistic inquiry than is evident in most of the mainstream media. I cannot abide people who scold us for daring to infer the possibility of an insider element because it somehow “disrespects” the deceased. It does no such thing. The greatest disrespect would be for us to to just lap up the official narratives we are told especially in light of what we have already learned about false flag attacks in this country. The pattern is very clearly indicating false flag set ups. The far greater disrespect would be to just roll over and not put any effort into looking deeply. The dead deserve better.

      1. I guess I’ve….
        ..just grown a bit weary of the knee-jerk tendency these days to chalk up any and all tragedies to governmental false flag ops (as opposed to, say, pharmaceutical companies who have messed with the brain chemistry of many of our citizens…). Like I said to a friend after hearing Jones jump on the Sandy Hook incident, “Well, it MUST have been the government’s doing…after all, why would anybody think negative thoughts about anyone else if the government weren’t putting them up to it?”

      2. Bovine manure
        Ethical journalist my foot.

        He’s promoting inane theories so he can keep selling his damn ‘survival seeds’. He’s using wild speculations that are of no use right now.

        I’m sorry, but right now Alex Jones is acting like a pendejo.

        1. indeed; maybe he has, like
          indeed; maybe he has, like sombunall of the Occult/UFO/conspiracy crowd, drunk his own kool aid too much and…become an ingrown toenail…

          1. Drunk with his own Kool-Aid
            Perhaps that’s one of the riskiest things of staying too long in the Parapolitics world.

          2. Believe it or not guys, the
            Believe it or not guys, the criminal investigation begins the second the crime happens. There is no “respectful waiting period” for dutiful investigation. Given what we now know know about government agents provocateur within the OKC bombing, ’93 WTC bombing, 911, and London subway bombings just for starters any criminal inquiry in this day and age immediately should approach the crime from every angle including the angle that some entity enabled, encouraged, and facilitated the act for political purposes more labyrinthine than what is indicated at first blush. There is a large community of unhacked internet journalists who spring into action now when these events happens – not just Alex Jones. There is a reflexive community of more ethical and less bought and paid for journalists out there fortunately. The Boston Marathon bombing may turn out to be the the work of some cadre unplugged into the false flag network or not. That is what we are here to find out. That will not be found out by just rolling over and playing dead. There is still some spine left in the journalist community thanks to independent internet journalism.

            “In fact, last year a couple of articles were published on the extent of these law enforcement stings, and whether they are foiling plots, or engineering them.”

            unless, of course, you think that alex jones is some kind of batman/lex luthor figure who can, in that short of a time, figure things out?

          4. Classic False Flag Signal
            http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=a-vjPw8QZV0

            Interview with runners at the Boston Marathon who saw a bomb squad drill taking place at the event. This is a classic signal of false flag terrorism. That is how it went down at the London subway bombing – bomb squad drill was occurring at the same time. That is how it happened on 911 – FEMA was put in place around the WTC the day before 911. These “drills” are actually used to facilitate the op by having personnel in place to ensure that local policing does not interfere with the operation, and that then there are trained forensics people immediately on hand to mind whatever inconvenient evidence might be laying around in the aftermath.
            I am not saying this is incontrovertible evidence of a larger conspiracy, but it is a classic signal. It is why a real investigation and journalistic inquiry is called for.

          5. Criminal investigation
            There’s a difference between criminal investigation & armchair speculation.

            And one should be aware of the former. It can end up costing lives.

            I was actually very pleased that the folks on my Twitter feed showed a lot of restraint, and were content to express their moral support instead of trying to be the first to retweet unsustainable rumors.

            And I also think it’s very useful how civilians with their cameras & cell phones are contributing to how we get access to breaking news information, so that a broader image of what actually happened can be eventually be pieced together.

            But that’s completely different from what Jones did, when he went out & said “gold crash + false flag = TSA surveillance in sport competitions!”

          6. Jones is just one of many
            Jones is just one of many journalists all calling for “restraint” in not just lapping up the official news narrative for these sorts of events. Forget Jones – he is just one of many beacons that go off when events look like this. The sentiment expressed in these posts that we should just steer away from deeper speculation is what I would consider highly irresponsible.

          7. The Bomb The FBI Let Happen
            An FBI terror bombing sting that was allowed to detonate.

            http://www.lectlaw.com/files/cur46.htm

            Who Bombed the World Trade Center?

            “Salem’s exposure as a government informant who had a year earlier infiltrated the group of men later charged in the bombing conspiracy caused many to wonder why he and the FBI failed to provide any warning of the pending World Trade Center bombing. The answer now appears self-evident. According to William Kuntsler, attorney for Ibrahim El-Gabrowny, one of those accused in the larger bombing case, the entire conspiracy was the product of Salem, the government informant.”

          8. The Man-hunt cometh…
            (this isn’t directed toward you specifically emlong)

            I am watching the news right now and came to a thought. They keep saying these two guys with back packs are the suspects. They keep saying there is evidence of one of those backpacks being left there. They are being rushed into finding the suspects and making a massive deal out of these two men on the news and making viewers think, “yeah that’s them no doubt.” I hate to say it but, what if these two guys didn’t do it. And more importantly, every kid who dresses like them is going to be thought of as a suspect. It’s becoming like the Arab-Americans after 911, how everyone judged them and blamed them even though obviously not all people who are Islamic are terrorists. It’s this withholding of information and jumping to judge that fuels the conspiracy theorist fire and just causes more to be judged. Everything is still an “if” not a “yes,” and “if” we are not thorough enough and keep jumping because someone tells us to, we are only going to further ourselves into the spiral of extinction. By the pricking of my thumb…

          9. A Noble Lie
            http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=3Q1EvlD5-ik

            The film “A Noble Lie” (link above) about the Oklahoma City Bombing is very pertinent to the Boston Marathon bombing. After watching this film your ideas about what actually happened at the Murrah Building will be turned upside down. This is not to say that the Boston event is a false flag type operation, but the hijinks and dodges performed by the “authorities” in covering up the true mechanism behind OKC are what we need to be watching for with the Boston investigation and mass media gloss.
            OKC was the first serious salvo fired at America with the intent of creating a generalized climate of fear, restricting civil liberties, and attacking the Constitution.

            **************************************

            “A Noble Lie: The Oklahoma City Bombing of 1995

            “A myth or untruth knowingly told by the elite to maintain social harmony, or the social position of the elite.” – The Republic, Plato

            The 1995 bombing in Oklahoma City was a direct blow to the heart of America. 168 people were killed, including nineteen children. For those watching the nightly news, Terrorism had come home. For years following the bombing, countless victims’ family members, survivors, rescuers, and ordinary Americans, have questioned the official accounts about that fateful day.

            Hoping to shed light on answers long ignored and censored, both by prominent media outlets and the U.S. government, A Noble Lie peels back what we thought we knew about the bombing and it’s perpetrators. This film exposes information never before examined or brought to the attention of the American public.

            A Noble Lie is the culmination of years of research and documentation conducted by independent journalists, scholars, and ordinary citizens. Often risking their personal safety and sanity, they have gathered evidence which threatens to expose the startling reality of what exactly occurred at 9:02 am on April 19, 1995 in Oklahoma City.

            Utilizing footage and eyewitness testimony, previously unseen, A Noble Lie will change forever the way you look at the true nature of terrorism.

          10. The Black Box
            It’s becoming real clear now what is most useful about the “enemy combatant” law and the National Defense Authorization Act which Obama assiduously championed despite campaign promises that he would not. The new scenario denies legal representation or due process to “terror” suspects. In an age of state sponsored, enabled or encouraged terrorism it means that it is impossible for the public to ever know if a suspect had been coached or entrapped by our own intelligence services as we have seen already happen numerous times in the recent past. Under this new law we would never have known for instance that the FBI had recruited, supplied, and enabled the 1993 WTC basement bomber. It was only in the criminal proceeding that we found that out. That now is forever closed to us. Welcome to the police state really and truly.

      FBI Caught in a Web of Lies in Boston
      Please help us ID them. Oops, we already knew exactly who they were.

      Activist Post

      Why did the FBI make a spectacle out of releasing the photos of the alleged Boston bombing suspects to the public feigning ignorance of who they were, asking for the public’s help to identify them, when they knew all along who they were?

      Remember the FBI saying the following:

      These photos should be the only ones the public should view to assist us. Other photos should not be deemed credible. They unnecessarily divert the public’s attention in the wrong direction, and create undue work for vital law enforcement resources.

      This entire press conference is now exposed as a lie since we now know the FBI was “monitoring them at every step”, according to their own admission.

      The FBI originally denied first meeting with the bombing suspect two years ago (lie #2), according to CBS. That was until they were forced to admit their involvement with the suspects.

      CBS reported “The FBI admitted Friday they interviewed the now-deceased Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev two years ago and failed to find any incriminating information about him.”

      The suspects’ family also state that they were well aware of an ongoing relationship between the FBI and the boys. Family members said they were “monitored” and “counseled” at every step, and the FBI was “controlling” and “following” them for years.

      Their mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, in an interview with RT, said that the FBI had made contact with the family on multiple occasions:

      “They used to come [to our] home, they used to talk to me … they were telling me that he was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him,” Tsarnaeva said.

      “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!”

      So the FBI, after first denying monitoring them, says yes, we did meet with him (Tamerlan) but “failed to find any incriminating information about him” while telling their mother that “he was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him.” (lie #3)

      There are only two possible conclusions to explain the FBI’s blatant lies; either they’re covering up their complete incompetence to stop attacks that they were monitoring, or they’re covering up the fact that they were spurring and handling the bombing plot in the first place, as they’ve done in countless other fake terror plot cases.

      History would indicate that the lies are a little of both: direct involvement and incompetence. It’s apparent they had a direct hand working with the suspects, but complete incompetence in pulling off the plot without their fingerprints all over it.

      This deception in the Boston bombing case was premeditated and not just some fog-of-war, we-don’t-have-all-the-facts-yet confusion. That much is now clear.

      And since these significant lies have been revealed, how are we to believe in wild car chases, car jackings, police shootouts, and the rest of the crazy narrative spewing out of the FBI’s PR department?

      It’s beyond convenient for covering up their deception that the Tsarnaev brothers have been rendered incapacitated with one mutilated and killed, and the other in critical condition waiting for justice without Miranda Rights. It will surprise no one if Dzhokhar (suspect 2) winds up dead, because dead men tell no tales.

      Fact: the FBI has been involved in staging numerous fake terror plots using patsies to make themselves look like heroes when they stop the attack. Now they’ve been caught in a web of lies surrounding one that went live and resulted in the deaths of Americans.

      Question: In what world are they not the prime suspects here?

      Their days of terrorizing the American public into giving up civil liberties with false flags are numbered as the truth becomes more difficult to hide.

      1. The Impossible Story
        http://21stcenturywire.com/2013/04/22/the-official-tsarnaev-story-makes-no-sense/

        “But now this gets utterly incredible. In 2012 Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who is of such concern to Russian security, is able to fly to Russia and pass through the airport security checks of the world’s most thoroughly and brutally efficient security services without being picked up. He is then able to proceed to Dagestan – right at the heart of the world’s heaviest military occupation and the world’s most far reaching secret police surveillance – again without being intercepted, and he is able there to go through some form of terror training or further Islamist indoctrination. He then flies out again without any intervention by the Russian security services.

        That is the official story and I have no doubt it did not happen.”

        The official narrative just gets more and more improbable and ridiculous. This has all the earmarks of a cultivated narrative with perhaps participation by several intelligence services.

        1. Incest
          http://www.infowars.com/articles/London_attack/mastermind_mi6_asset.htm

          The Boston bombing follows the same pattern as past rigged bombings. So called terrorists are actually working for both sides depending on what political expedient is desired by their handlers, and the “other side” is actually a creation of our intelligence services to act on behalf of either side in the fashion of actors. The agents themselves often do not understand how they are being used until it is too late.

            Best thing I have read about the Boston bombing and how a true investigation would look. Companies like Craft are sometimes used as CIA cutouts for operations. Bo

            “Look, I said before I’m not a conspiracy theory fan, and maybe this bombing in Boston was just a case of two angry young brothers who flipped out, egged each other on, and decided to go out with a bang. But it would be naive and irresponsible not to make note of these bizarre links, through their Uncle Ruslan Tsarni, of the Tsarnaev brothers to the CIA, and of the apparent presence of the Craft International personnel at the marathon finish line, not to mention the uncanny similarity in attire between Tamerlan Tsarnaev and the Craft mercenaries at the marathon bombing scene.”

            This is the most cogent and chilling thing I have seen so far that shows how the terror scam is being run in the US. Doors are being very purposefully left open so that foreign terrorists can just skip in unmolested with the hopes that they will pull some attack. It goes deeper than that, but the surface says enough. The DHS is primarily in the business of enabling terrorist acts in order to justify its existence and the greater geopolitical agenda. As told by a former DHS employee whose life was made a living hell after she blew the whistle.

            This how most of the terror attacks are enabled. 9/11 was yet another example of this. We may recall how the Saudi patsies were allowed to bypass the usual protocols and background checks for getting visas to the US.
