Boston Marathon Bombs

Re: Report of 2 Explosions At The Boston Marathon Finishline

Since this is an obvious Psy-Ops maneuver I'm now wondering what are they trying to distract us from. Thinking about Laura's article on Sott about comets led me to view the RSOE - Emergency and Disaster Information Service web page. There are 12 near approaching Earth objects (comets) due to make possible impact for the month of April, twice that amount is you include the month of May. Had wondered if the explosion we heard Sunday night could have been a meteor impact, but its not listed, that is if this site is correct in information and is not disinformation itself, hard to trust anything these days.

An eye witness stated on sky TV (UK) this morning that he saw a trash can explode. Which, if true, begs the question of how the sniffer dogs employed (allegedly) earlier on in the day could have missed them.
This would have been one of the very first items checked in theory.

Another odd thing that I heard while listening to the live feed yesterday: a young man that was in the race, and barely ahead of the blasts, said that the thing that struck him the most odd (his words) was that he heard no glass breaking in the buildings. Obviously, I am no expert in bomb composition, but that sure struck me as weird too. I didn't see any glass in the streets or video camera shots of the buildings in the direct vicinity with broken windows.

If the blasts were able to knock down runners, why were no windows in the buildings broken? Perhaps there have been other video shots since then that do show broken glass in the streets or windows blown out of the buildings nearby, but I haven't seen any - in fact, come to think of it, they aren't showing much of that original footage now.

I also heard that 15 blocks are cordoned off around the site. That sure seems like a large area.

I do remember seeing broken glass in some footage of the first explosion site. The store front at the exact site of the carnage had its windows blown out. I was wondering if maybe the bomb was inside the store because the glass was on the sidewalk outside of the building.

It seems that mid april is real popular for these so called "attacks." -- April 19, 1993: the FBI's siege of the Waco compound leaves 76 dead.
-- April 19, 1995: the bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City kills 168 people.
-- April 20, 1999: A mass shooting at Columbine High School leaves 15 dead.
-- April 16, 2007: The Virginia Tech massacre kills 33.
And now April 15 today it's an odd patern. A little too odd
:rolleyes:
Seems like we have another definition for the Cs remark about "April Drop Dead" date(s).

The News channels here are fixated on the trauma of the situation, rather than providing information. Something sure does stink though. Coupled with the earthquake in Iran, the comet in Spain, and our Texan forum members reporting sonic booms and buildings shaking, something very, very strange is going on.

I too thought about the Cs cryptic reference to the April Drop Dead Date, which is discussed in this thread here- http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,30528.0.html

Those were my thoughts too: what are they trying to distract me from? Our tv was dominated by news of this attack and the venezuelan elections. I'm still trying to figure out what the deal is. I guess it's only a matter of time before we find out (hopefully), but who knows. I just dont trust the media at all.

Video taken from the stands directly across the street from the first explosion. It's started right after 1st and catches the second explosion down the street.

Re: Report of 2 Explosions At The Boston Marathon Finishline

Obama just gave another news conference, the whole purpose of which seemed to be reiterating that while this was an act of terror, they do not know if 'terrorists' did it - they don't know who did it, whether it was an individual or group or several individuals, domestic or international, and that they don't know why. He repeated this and stated that anything said right now about who did it or why is pure speculation. Very different from 911 when they had the patsy ready to go and broadcasted it almost immediately. I almost got the sense that he was purposefully stating that they don't know who did it - as if he's sending a message of some sort. It was a little odd, but I might be reading too much into it - just unusual for them to not have a pre-packaged story ready to go in these instances.

Fwiw, I've been thinking the same thing about all the pundit coverage of the event. While normally, they are pushing assumptions and theories of who it could have been, this time the theme seems to be, "let's not make any assumptions, we do not know who did this. "


Also, this picture meme going around showing a soldier amputee, claiming he is the same as the Boston amputee, to me does not appear to be the same guy. Looks to be distraction/disinfo. (I tried to upload the pic, but the file is too large)

Maybe it is a new strategy. Let the people think that they don't know, take some time to do an inquiry and after a couple of days/weeks tell them that they have found who did it.

Look more serious and mostly not planned.
 
Re: Report of 2 Explosions At The Boston Marathon Finishline

If the line of flags was longer, there would be also a third explosion so that TV cameras could show all flags...

Cass have taught us to read symbolics of events first of all.
Twins looked well vertically, now they suggest "us" to look horizontally. Think, even a freedom-loving Kennedy´s symbol is under the threat!

The following case is not needed to arrange so internationally.

Yeah, although I think the two look very much alike, the scent of a prefabricated red herring being thrown, seems strong with this one.

Washington/Boston - United States investigators led by the FBI are poring over video and photographs from the widely watched Boston Marathon for clues to determine who is responsible for two bombs that exploded near the finish line on Monday, killing three people and injuring more than 100, officials said.

According to reports, two South African runners were injured in the blasts1. Department of International Relations spokesperson Clayson Monyela reportedly said injuries sustained by the two South Africans were “not serious”.

Because the Boston Marathon is run by 27 000 people and 500 000 come to watch every year, officials expect plenty of visual evidence into what happened before and after two devices exploded as hundreds of runners streamed to the finish line at Copley Plaza in Boston's Back Bay neighbourhood.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is heading the investigation with help from city, state and federal officials, FBI Special Agent Richard DesLauriers said at an evening news conference.

“It is a criminal investigation that is a potential terrorist investigation,” he said, while declining to elaborate on initial findings or where the probe was headed.

But beyond being sure that bombs went off, there is little certainty yet about who might have been behind the attacks or what their motives might have been, although officials said the circumstances of the blasts suggested theories involving Islamic militants or US anti-government extremists.

As of Monday evening, no agency had found any evidence that there was any obvious warning of the attack, nor has any claim of responsibility for the attacks surfaced. “There were no known threats,” Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said.

Video played continually on Boston's local television stations showing rescuers racing to the injured and then carrying bloodied runners and spectators away as photographers captured the scene.

Davis said officials were reviewing the photographic evidence and asked the public to call with tips if they had seen anything suspicious.

In the meantime, police are sweeping the entire 42km route of the race for possible clues and have cordoned off the area around the blasts in the heart of Boston's shopping district.

A Justice Department official confirmed that Attorney General Eric Holder had talked about the case with FBI Director Robert Mueller and Boston US Attorney Carmen Ortiz. The National Guard has been deployed and local hospitals are being guarded by armed police.

As Davis met with Boston Mayor Tom Menino, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and other elected officials in a nearby hotel to brief the media, investigators were already poring over pictures shot by professionals and amateurs.

Police have told people, including the thousands of visitors who came to participate in Boston's signature sporting event, to stay inside and not congregate in open spaces2. “Boston will be open tomorrow but it won't be business as usual,” Patrick said.

In addition to domestic law enforcement, intelligence agencies such as the CIA and the National Counterterrorism Centre have joined the investigation.

At least two, essentially contradictory3, theories about who might be behind the explosions were under immediate consideration by investigators, officials told Reuters on the condition of anonymity.

One theory, based at least in part upon the timing of the bombings - on the day when US tax returns are due and also on the day of the Boston Marathon, which is customarily held on Patriots' Day - implies that domestic right-wing extremists, such as anti-government anti-tax activists, could be behind the attacks.

One of the main alternative4 theories, which was commended to Reuters by senior law enforcement officials, is that there could be some kind of connection, whether direct or very loose5, to Islamic militants.

The principal evidence for this theory, the officials said, is what they say are similarities between what is known about the attacks - for example two simultaneous explosions in close proximity to each other at a high-profile event - to attack models proposed by Inspire magazine.

Inspire is a publication, circulated over the Internet, by Yemen-based al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. The magazine publishes English-language exhortations to would-be Western jihadists to carry out attacks with whatever means, however modest, they have at hand. Inspire also recently published a lengthy supplement with detailed instructions on how to carry out various attacks and build homemade devices. - Reuters

1. This now makes up about half of the reports from iol on the event.

2. ..where you can't film us.

3. More like, essentially cointelpro.

4. Fallback?.

It looks like, at from this, that they might be planning to finally bust out the "brainwashed by al-qaeda" one with this. That would conveniently bring the supposed "contradictory theories" together.

Could it even be remotely possible that for once they were kept out of the loop ? that an outside agency carried out this attack without them knowing ? Seems hardly possible though
