Boston Terror Attack Carried Out Right Under Nose of Police and Military
Preface: This essay does not argue that the Boston terror attack was a false flag attack. I have no idea at this point who the perpetrators were. We are also not criticizing our good men and women in the police or armed forces who heroically assisted the wounded.
But - given that "no crisis goes to waste", and that the Ricin attacks and attacks on electrical and communications systems in Silicon Valley are sure to lead to further draconian loss of liberties - it is important to point out again that we've gotten nothing for the trillions squandered on "anti-terror", "homeland security" and "war on terror" spending.
We documented earlier today that the American government has squandered huge sums of homeland security and defense spending on useless tasks that increase – rather than prevent -terrorism.
Indeed, the head cross-country track coach at the University of Mobile – Alastair Stevenson – told Alabama’s Press-Register:
“At the starting line this morning, they had bomb sniffing dogs and the bomb squad out there,” he said. “They kept announcing to runners not to be alarmed, that they were running a training exercise.”
He added, “I’ve run a lot of races like this one, but I never saw bomb dogs at the starting line of any running event.
Stevenson provided additional details in an interview by local 15 tv news:
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.
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.
Stevenson clarified that the announcements regarding the drill occurred at the starting line … long before the bombs exploded:
Time Magazine reported yesterday:
Over the years, the Boston Marathon has undergone numerous security overhauls. TIME writer Katy Steinmetz reports: Under heightened security in 2002, 600 police officers joined the runners. There were also an unprecedented 1,500 state and local police patrolling the route and another 1,500 security guards. There were 415 National Guard troops on hand. Helicopters, bomb-sniffing dogs, hazmat teams and radiation detectors were added. Boston Globe compared to security used for the Olympics and Super Bowl. According to the Mass. National Guard website, more than 400 troops were involved in 2013, too. From the release: Pfc. Matthew S. Knowlton, a military policeman with the 747 Military Police Company, was one Soldier assigned to help out at the starting line. Describing the scene Knowlton said, “This is a very positive setting, I’m just happy to be here. There are a lot of people here but it’s a great crowd.”
Indeed, the Massachusetts National Guard release notes:
Sgt. Ezequiel Valencia, a human resources sergeant, with the 747 Military Police Company, Massachusetts Army National Guard, looks on as runners begin the 117th Boston Marathon April 15, 2013 in Hopkinton, Mass. More than 400 Guardsman were on hand to help local law enforcement keep the route clear for an estimated 27,000 runners. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. 1st Class James C. Lally, Massachusetts National Guard Public Affairs)
In addition, Mother Jones reports:
At 5:20 a.m. on Monday, four hours before the Boston Marathon’s elite runners took off, a group of 15 active-duty soldiers from the Massachusetts National Guard gathered at the starting line in Hopkinson. Each soldier was in full combat uniform and carried a “ruck,” a military backpack weighing about 40 pounds. The rucks were filled with Camelbacks of water, extra uniforms, Gatorade, changes of socks—and first-aid and trauma kits. It was all just supposed to be symbolic.
“Forced marches” or “humps” are a regular part of military training, brisk walking over tough terrain while carrying gear that could help a soldier survive if stranded alone. These soldiers, participating in “Tough Ruck 2013,” were doing the 26 miles of the Boston Marathon to honor comrades killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, or lost to suicide and PTSD-related accidents after coming home.
It took about eight hours for all of the soldiers to cross the finish line, some cruising nearly at a 13-minute mile, others coming in at a little slower pace. They were gathered near the medical tent behind the finish line, waiting for the elite runners to come in. That was the contingency plan in case anything went wrong—meet by the medical tent.

When the explosion went off, Fiola and his group immediately went into tactical mode. “I did a count and told the younger soldiers to stay put,” Fiola says. “Myself and two other soldiers, my top two guys in my normal unit, crossed the street about 100 yards to the metal scaffoldings holding up the row of flags. We just absolutely annihilated the fence and pulled it back so we could see the victims underneath. The doctors and nurses from the medical tent were on the scene in under a minute. We were pulling burning debris off of people so that the medical personnel could get to them and begin triage.”
“There was a guy behind me covered in his own blood, and I started to smell some smoke. I turn around to look and he’s actually on fire.”
Once the victims were transported away for further medical care, Fiola and the others stood guard around the blast area. “We switched to keeping the scene safe, quarantining the area and preventing people from entering. There was a guy behind me covered, just covered, in his own blood, and I started to smell some smoke.

As one of our readers notes:
All of America’s security forces were there. Spotters. Bomb sniffing dogs. The whole array. They even ran a drill beforehand.
While thousands fewer died, comparisons to 9/11 are inevitable.

So one of the first pictures I saw of the bombing was of 3 people pushing a guy in a wheelchair with what looks like are tattered remnants of what once were his lower extremeties. Now, I'm not a doctor, nurse or paramedic, but a few obvious questions came to mind when I saw the pic.
I'm not implying no one got hurt, it's obvious that some did. But this pic stinks like week old piss.
that's because this is a falseflag that was likely CAUSED by the police FBI and military.
take a look at Rick Deslauriers, handpicked by Mueller in July 2010 - Mueller who was installed by W just prior to 911 and whose job its been ever since to maintain its coverup...
drill going on at the same time? remember 7/7?
if you believe anything the msm is telling you about this event, Ive got a few bridges to sell ya.
can we get a refund on those dog sniffers?
What will it take for “Christians” to recognize what Israel really is? The destruction of America?

Know that Israel is base to the satanic cabal from which to foment conflict, sabotage and religious prejudice. The ultimate agenda is world control in a communistic dystopia. Unfortunately, many indoctrinated Christians unknowingly contribute to the evil through their own ignorance.
We'll never be safe. No amount of groping, cameras, bomb-sniffing, gun control - or any of it - will keep us safe.
If we want to be truly brave and free we should stop all the screening and security and let citizens carry military gear.
Go ahead, try a mass killing, and see how long it takes before a citizen stops you.
Go ahead, blow up some planes. If we can lose 6,000 overseas protecting poppy fields and Exxon's oil why not die in the skies for freedom?
Oh no, we take the path of cowardice; grope our children, x-ray our bodies, take away our rights, leave us unable to defend ourselves and stripped of the freedom and liberty so many have died for.
"Terror Bombing Shows that Our Anti-Terrorism Policies Are Ineffective"
Only if you believe that the goal of the policies is to fight terrorism. It's not. The goal is to eliminate Constitutional liberties and build the police state. It's been remarkably effective.
I'm wondering if FBI/Boston PD had advance notice/intelligence regarding this incident and they decided to let the race go on anyway. Maybe they thought they had a handle on it?

eerie. Does not look good
Those who argue an inside job (sorry, GW, that's exactly what your "article" insinuated) have never explained how the vast numbers of conspirators needed for such an event remain silent. Its been estimated that a minimum of 2,000 would have been required to carry out one of the many (conflicting) scenarios presented by 911 Truthers. For Boston, it would have entailed higher ups, prior planning, secretive, non-traceable communication and penetration of security forces.
And what did they do? Set off some lousy pressure bombs, many of which did not work. And where? The Boston Marathon for christ sake You'd think if "they" wanted to (take your pick) bring on marshall law, confiscate guns, arrest folks, etc the event would have been a tad more dramatic. Probably some crazies who thought they were being cool by slaughtering innocent folks.
tango - Excellent point. George is leanig way over his skiis on this one.
There is / was no inside job at the Boston marathon. Now that is not to say that an element of a foreign Gov was not involved, but no way was the Feds or State level in on it....ridiculous and and indeed terribkly naiive.
How did the thousands of people invovled in the Manhattan Project keep it secret?
How did the hundreds of people invovled in the false flag thats started the Vietnam war keep it secret?
How did the hundreds of people who burned down the Reichstag keep it secret?
How did the hundreds of people involed in Fast & Furious keep it secret?
Um, What about the Rosenbergs?
"..how the vast numbers of conspirators needed for such an event remain silent. "
You USCoC types (US Chamber of Commerce) always use the same mindless, illogical talking points, when numerous online posts (including too many of my own, from a political action group I was previously with) have detailed that ONLY a small number of people were actually involved and that to find those involved, unknowingly and unwittingly, at the operational level, one need only research the backgrounds of many of those passengers spread among those four airliners that day.
If you can't stop obsessively repeating the same mindless mantra, do take some time out to read Lance deHaven-Smith's newly published book,
Conspiracy Theory in America
http://utpress.utexas.edu/index.php/books/dehcon
(You may actually learn something, assuming you CAN read a book in its entirety?)
I did NOT mean to insinuate inside job. I have no idea at this point.
However, you are WRONG on one point: Daniel Ellsberg: “Secrets … Can Be Kept Reliably … For Decades … Even Though They Are Known to THOUSANDS of Insiders”
Let's apply the 99% rule: 99% of what is said by the MSM and the Obama administration should be considered a LIE until proven otherwise
"means that a couple of top dogs can call the shots and most people helping won’t even know the big picture."
Exactly! How many dump and dock workers knew they were geting rid of evidence by shipping 9/11 steel to Japan as fast as possible?
Negative, GW, I'd say that idiot tango is wrong on all their points!
So what if it takes 2000 accomplices? If they all believe what they are doing is right and just then its no problem keeping quiet. And what if the frikkin marathon is merely an opening salvo to get people to EXPECT bigger things to come? Boil that frog.
And even if half of the 2000 accomplices blabbed about it daily at their local bar, on what MSM station would you hear about it? The reporters are only human, with all the BS they are required to feed us every day how can you expect them to have the time to actually do investigative reporting?
Twenty-three people were involved, at the top of Blackstone Group, Veritas Capital and AIG, along with the offices of the Secretary of Defense (Rumsfeld) and the Vice President (Cheney).
Those responsible at the operational level (but in a compartmentalized fashion, unknowingly and unwittingly) can be found among the passenger list of those four airliners that day.
Ninety percent of homicide victims (those unfortunate souls aboard those airliners that day) normally know their murderers.
[Interesting to note that the then-chairman and founder of Veritas Capital, Robert McKeon, was recently reported as having committed "suicide" by strangling himself?????]

Pogo said that we met the enemy and it is us. Kindness killed more violence than more violence alone.
Who else read the headline as Boston Terrier Attack Right under the nose of Police and Military.
Sounds like The Long Walk to me. Eerily so.
Janet Napolitano's top qualification is that she's a lesbian........
Didn't the Obowel Movement stop to think about that?
You bet they did!
You make it sound like they didn't plan and execute the whole thing themselves.
Likewise with the sudden rash of ricin.
But why now?
I bet we won't be hearing much debate before this bill on internet controls finally gets passed:

Wow what a coincidence!!

Sept. 11 Hearings Delayed Until June After Computer Crash By David Glovin - Apr 17, 2013 12:14 PM ETFive days of hearings scheduled for next week in the case of the accused plotters of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were postponed after defense lawyers said internal documents went missing on government computers.
The judge, Army Colonel James Pohl, postponed the hearings until mid-June in a two-page order posted today.
Lawyers for the accused plotters requested the delay last week after complaining that their confidential work was inexplicably missing from the U.S. Defense Department computers on which they store documents.
Colonel Todd Breasseale, a Pentagon spokesman, said in a statement that the Office of Military Commissions, which is prosecuting the case, “suffered from a nearly catastrophic server ‘crash,’” that led to “losses of indiscriminate data.” Of almost 400 gigabytes of data initially lost, “seven gigabytes have yet to be accounted for,” he said.
It's not that all government is bad,
It's just that there doesn't seem to be a real test for brains.
Look at California
big is bad with stupid.
What is the logical thought process for the average Congressperson.
Not to high from what I hear them dribble out of there mouths.
Put me in charge for 3 month and I can balance the budget :-)
Start with asking why is cost 3 times more than full retail. to do a job.
Peace
Good read is "Kill Anything That Moves"
If you want to look up to Generals and the war machine well I have a couple of swamp to sell you also.
Or better yet I have computer system that will help you spy on the bad guys for 1 trillion but you will be safer.
You can't make this stuff up. What a joke. Like the DoD would unintentionally lose data.
You're referring to the Pentagon's comptroller publicly announcing that their auditing team (DIA's Financial Management staff) uncovered an unaccounted for (missing) $2.3 trillion in DoD funds, yet the very next morning almost the entire auditing team is killed when an airliner crashes dead center into the Pentagon's west wall?

Jeeze. For our trillions of dollars in tax largesse we don't get any backups or redundancies on servers? That hardly seems like a bargain. Can't we just end government and each take care of his own security from those who hate us for the crimes our governent commits?
Well then I guess we just better outlaw guns and hire 10x more officers.
Hey, whats a few thousand more crotch-grabbing faggots to feed off the government tit.
Big-daddy government couldn't stop "terror" if it had a bell on it. That's the point.
Its for the economy, stupid.
Time for another war on sanity.
...We are also not criticizing our good men and women in the police or armed forces who heroically assisted the wounded...
once upon a time it was not necessary to preface each attempted journalistic effort to uncover the 'Secret State' at work with some kind of apologia that somehow always ends up looking like an effort to gild the lily...especially when it employs the word "heroically!"
As long as a real hero like Bradley Manning is held without trial in prison, instead of being busted out by armed forces members proud of the dignity he has restored to a badly tarnished force, there are not any more "heroes" in the armed forces. Time to lift the lid on the Talmudist Takeover of Amerika...no more 'pologizing for speaking truth to the moneypower.
I saw one photo of the first explosion that was taken from across the street and I was struck by how many police were in the immediate vicinity as well as the appearance that they all seemed to be facing in toward the runners as opposed to facing out and watching the crowd.
We're lucky the airport gropers are more competent
