Boston Terror Narrative Starts Falling Apart

George Washington's picture




 

We have no idea whether or not the Chechen brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were the Boston terrorists.

But several parts of the official narrative are already falling apart.

Initially, the claim that they robbed a 7-11 is totally false. USA Today reported on April 19th:

There was a 7-Eleven robbery in Cambridge last night, but it had nothing to do with the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.

 

Margaret Chabris, the director of corporate communication at 7- Eleven, says the surveillance video of the crime was not taken at a 7-Eleven and that the suspect that did rob the 7-Eleven does not look like Tamerlan or Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

 

"The suspect in the photos for that particular 7-Eleven robbery looks nothing like the suspects," Chabris says. "The police or someone made a mistake. Someone was confused."

 

***

 

At an earlier press conference morning, when [State Police Superintendent Timothy Alban] described the manhunt and standoff that resulted in the death of an MIT police officer, he also said that the two brothers robbed a 7-Eleven.

Moreover, the FBI initially denied ever having spoken with either of the brothers.  But CBS news notes:

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.

Other oddities include the following:

Again, they might be guilty.  But as Glenn Greenwald notes:

The overarching principle here should be that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is entitled to a presumption of innocence until he is actually proven guilty. As so many cases have proven - from accused (but exonerated) anthrax attacker Stephen Hatfill to accused (but exonerated) Atlanta Olympic bomber Richard Jewell to dozens if not hundreds of Guantanamo detainees accused of being the "worst of the worst" but who were guilty of nothing - people who appear to be guilty based on government accusations and trials-by-media are often completely innocent. Media-presented evidence is no substitute for due process and an adversarial trial.

Indeed, the FBI said it was sure that Bruce Ivins was the anthrax killer (after falsely accusing 2 other people of being the culprits).

However, the National Academy of Science found that the FBI failed to prove its case.

Note: Media said that the door-to-door searches conducted in Watertown were voluntary.  However - whether or not you agree with the need to do so - the searches were not always exactly voluntary.

How would it be tipping their hand to debunk these questions?  And do you not believe the press has an obligation to investigate such matters?  Like they investigated whether Iraq had WMDs for example?  I guess you are comfortable with the press being not the 4th Estate but the 4th branch of government.  I am not.

The MSM is investigating these matters...and has the same success rate they've always had in the age of internet...gotta be first with the story "journalism".

Practically zero.

So why...again...is GW quoting a CBS story or any other MSM story?

You mean, apart from him being a Zionist gatekeeper? Errrm ... nope ... no other reason comes to mind.

But the questions still need to be answared. And it is the job of alternative media to ask them (since neither Murdoch's nor Rothschild's kadet reporters will be digging too deep!).

PS. Alex Jones, the most successful Zionist gatekeeper, ALWAYS quotes the MSM ... and claims it gives him 'credibility' (which is probably true in the case of newcomers to the shepherded 'alternative' flock).

The problem with todays MSM, apart from its bias (left/right, whatever) is, nothing is vetted as it used to be. It used to be that media would not run with a story unless it had been confirmed by multiple sources.

It was a rare occurrence when they would even attempt to begin a story/report with the phrase "According to a high government official who wishes to remain anonymous..." now its done all the time. I quit reading it right then or continue with an extremely skeptical eye.

Why?

Because its almost pointless. Nothing more than innuendo or gossip. If the "sources" veracity and integrity can't be judged along with the quote, it might as well have come Kim Kardashian talking about quantum physics...its meaningless.

Here's what I wrote on the day of the bombing:

Zerohedge conspiracy fucktards out in force today of course. It's the Elders of Zion, oh wait it's the CIA, oh wait it the Kenyan in the Whitehouse, oh wait it's the FBI, oh wait its Mossad etc etc ad nauseum..

And when some Islamo-facist nutjobs are eventually caught don't wait for any admission by the 'conspiratados' they were wrong. They'll double-down on their false-flag fantasies as usual. Its like arguing with religious fundamentalists. They just happen to know the 'real' truth and no amount of evidence will convice them otherwise.

Sure enough...

This site is becoming an embarrasing pastiche of inforwars and other similar sites pandering to teenage-mentality conspiracy-tards who will believe any insane croc of shit in preference to reality.

You tell em, Plumplechook.   The only flaw in your initial assessment is you could have mentioned that head assclown George Washington would be leading the conspiracy charge with any two or three pieces of sticky taffy he can come up with to tie it to the Mossad/CIA/Rupert Murdoch and the rest.

Don't worry about all the negative clicks.  This site is one of the few places these clowns got to blame the world for their miseries and inadequacies.

GW and his followers live in a world that once a journalist anywhere writes something down, it's absolute rock-solid fact so of course when the story changes it's a conspiracy.  The same goes with his quoting the FBI or CIA because you know of course, if you work for those organizations, you're plugged in like the Borg Collective and have every interview done by the FBI memorized in your head and therefore every FBI agent knows every interview or interrogation ever taken.  These clowns will fall for everything and they all have their money in gold and doomsday supplies.

Sorry Joyful,

It's not like you think.  It's not like I have a batphone of some sort to argue with whackjob conspiracy theorists that goes off when you perceive the mainstream story is losing.  It's just with work and an infant to watch, I just don't have the free time to argue.

But yeah, when people like you want to claim this 19 year old is an innocent angel somehow set up by the Mossad but hey, to you guys, any story where people die by terrorists that doesn't end with jews in shackles means conspiracy.  Peace out.

What -it's not free? Did anyone force a handful of billionaires from 4 or 5 major zionist owned companies to buy up 98% of all the media in the US? Are you suggesting that we deprive them of the right to rig markets, bribe and own all our politicians and totally control  the media - doesn't freedom mean they have the right to rape, pillage and steal from Americans? Get off your ass and make a few billions and you too can enjoy the fruits of this great country by robbing and stealing and olundering from the ignorant peasants.

Indeed.  A common misperception the avg. person has, is that billionaires EARNED their money.  Not at all.  Stolen.  Taken fraudulently (insider trading, financing both sides in wars, slavery, usury).  Then placed in a 'Non Profit Foundation' to protect it from the Estate tax, then inherited by the next generation, who continue the plunder and fraud. 

The wealth inequality that currently exists is at the heart of the ongoing recession, IMO.  Its a much worse problem than even the income inequality situation.

Yes, I'm aware of that and was hoping my question would lead you there so that you can see for yourself that the word is in fact a meaningless compounding of two terms that are wholly unrelated.

In short, it is a propaganda phrase widely used by proponents of the "war on terror".

Joyful you assclown - claiming I'm a shill who only started posting here this year.  Fuck you.  I've been posting here on a regular basis for the last three years.  Here's a pertinent post I made a few days after Bin Laden was taken out and the usual suspects jumped on to claim it was all a consiracy and they guy was still alive:

I first came to Zerohedge a few weeks ago when it was performing an invaluable service by keeping the Fukushima catastrophe in the spotlight after the mainstream media, with its gnat-like attention span, had lost all interest.

But I now realize this site is mainly a hang out for consipiracy nutjobs,  peddling every discredited conspiracy from NASA staging the moonlandings to the CIA bombing the World Trade Center.

Of course there is no point arguing with conspiracy theorists.  It's like trying to argue with religioius fundamentalist.   They just happen to know the 'real truth' and no rational discussion will change their mind.  If a time machine existed that allowed these folks to actually go back and witness Barack Obama emerging from his mother's womb in Hawaii,  they wouldn't believe their lying eyes - because the Elders of Zion have interfered with the space-time continuum, dontcha know.

The paradox, of course, is that consipiracy theorists usually ask us to accept an explanation that is vastly more improbable than the simple truth.  

Osama Bin Laden was killed last week in a carefully planned and well executed operation by a US Navy SEAL team.  Anyone who prefers to believe the Iranian line that the whole thing was staged and he actually died years ago is just plain stupid.  Beavis and Butthead level stupid.

How about "axis of evil" to describe three countries that had essentially nothing to do with each other until we foisted that term upon them?  That's a good Orwellian use of language that most Americans seemed happy to adopt.

We owe our Heroes a debt of gratitude. There they were, going door to door, conducting illegal searches, in full assault gear. (A thankless job performed in a very confining wardrobe)

It served as a great opportunity to educate the general public on the finer points of properly submitting to authority. Another plus. Our Heroes were also afforded valuable on the job training regarding how to handle lesser cooperative citizens.

In all, it doesn't really matter who did the bombing, or why. What's important is that this brought us all closer together as Americans.

A couple of questions that come to mind:

Didn't the FBI say they found 5 other undetonated pressure cooker bombs? Where were they and how did they get there? Did these two guys carry 7 pressure cookers in two backpacks? Did they carry 7 backpacks?

How did the younger brother manage to escape police roadblocks and a bunch of police cars after the "bomb tossing police chase shoot out" where at least a dozen police were injured?

Just wondering.....
