Obama Addresses Nation

Tyler Durden's picture




 

At 6:10 pm, Barack Obama is expected to address the nation over today's explosions at the Boston marathon. It is unclear what additional info he can provide at this time as there is little to no incremental information available, aside from the conviction everywhere that this was a terrorist attempt (which likely means war against someone is imminent), but watch it live below in any case.

I bet his performance will be worth another Peace Prize, whatever puking diarrhea soap opera script rolls forth from the Teleprompter.  Must be late for a golf match or clay shoot.

I haven't verified this, yet, but I read a poster yesterday that said to watch out for April 16th (tomorrow) - due to Ruby Ridge, Waco, and the OKC bombing, Hmmm - I wonder if they got the dates screwed up.

No teleprompter, no answered questions, riding the coattails of American heroes, the obligatory prayers and mentioning his wife. Largely standard blueprint and hollow nothings but without the typical polish.

GLTA, I think this roller coaster is about to go free of the chain and the jerking we've felt over the last number of years has just been a prelude to it all.

So, we hear that there was an exercise going on with the FBI called "Controlled Explosion" at the same time.

 

Also, people reported hearing loudspeaker announcements saying "Don't worry this is just an exercise, a drill"

 

Also, bomb sniffing dogs were supposedly spotted at the start and finish lines.

 

I know it's early, and this may not be accurate, still watch for more on these subjects, and to see if they get scrubbed from the record.

 

Boston is a unique city, with may universities, bright people, young people, high tech expertise. The history of the American Revolution "Freedom Trail" many independent thinkers, and people from all over the world. The origin of the "Net" is tied to Boston.

With the origin of many Mutual Fund Families in Boston, more money is managed there than almost anywhere else on earth, or it used to be that way up until the late 90's

 

I will be curious to see what Boston thinks. I just heard "nothing of significance" from Pres. O and NO MENTION of these reported "DRILLS' that were occurring at the same time, or the "Announcements" saying "It's just a Drill".

Remember, government drills were happening on 9/11, 7/7 London, etc. and more recently Sandy Hook (14 miles away), when whatever happened, happened.

All I heard was we're going to get to the "Bottom of IT". The incidents above would be a good place to start.

I forget. How many successful terrorist attacks were committed on American soil after 9-11 during the Bush administration?

I think we all know how many have now happened under dear leaders time in office.

I am sure we should blame Bush first and ask questions later.

TOTUS is as TOTUS does.

who could possibly, in good conscience, buy a 30

not to mention the suppliers of the dealers are closed,

Boston runners were warned: Squamish man

http://www.squamishchief.com/article...d-squamish-man

April 15, 2013

Runners getting set to take part in the Boston Marathon were warned beforehand that they were going to die, said a Squamish resident who took part in the race.

Mike Heiliger, 59, said a woman holding several bags was telling runners who were picking up their pre-race packages in downtown Boston on Saturday (April 13) that they were going to die if they participated in the event.

“I was downtown on Saturday and you know, you see these people on the street and think it's just some nutbar,” he told The Chief from his Boston hotel on Monday (April 15). “It was a little creepy because you can identify who the runners are and I heard her say to this runner two feet away from me that, 'If you run tomorrow you're going to die.'”

Heiliger said he thought about telling the woman that the race was Monday, but decided not to correct her.

Heiliger was in the process of calling the police after his conversation with The Chief.

“I thought it was just a nut and maybe she was a nut but she was holding a couple of bags like she just got off a plane and was accosting runners on Saturday,” he said.

The Squamish resident was one of a group of about 15 runners from the North Shore and he said they're all fine.

“We all run in a run club and as far as I know all of our people are OK,” he said. “Some of them didn't get to finish, unfortunately, because when the bomb went off — that was it. They [race officials] stopped everybody.”

Heiliger finished the race in 3:29:51 and was making his way back to his hotel when the explosions went off.

“I was just coming to the hotel and I heard all these sirens,” he said. “But you're in a big city and when you hear sirens you think nothing of it.”

It was the fourth time Heiliger had raced in Boston and said the scene was disturbing.

“I'm just stunned right now,” he said. “It's a terrible situation. Boston has really embraced this race, they really get up for this thing and they're so friendly. For something like this to happen it's mind boggling.”

He said whoever set up the explosions had put some thought into it.

“Whoever did this knew what they were doing,” he said. “They knew where to put where the most people were.”

Despite the disastrous day, Heiliger said the tragedy will not dampen his enthusiasm for the race.

“I think I would still come back to Boston,” he said. “I bet security will be insane from here on in but I take the attitude that if you stay away, you let the crazies win. Time will tell what comes of this. This is huge. They [locals] want to hang someone out on the streets.”

Funny thing about conspiracy theorists, they fly right off the handle.  Crazy.

Anyone actually thought that this could be the work of an extreme left wing group, huh?

Also about about Saudi Arabia and war, first of all the reason Obama has NOT authorized an attack on Iran via Israel is that Iran will blow the Saudi fields to hell.  Obama would check the futures markets next morning and oil would be at 300+ = America shutdown.

Simple

"Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis on Monday said an incident at the JFK Library shortly after twin explosions at the Boston Marathon finish line were "incendiary," recasting his earlier statement that there was an explosion at the library.
Davis, in a press briefing concerning the explosions, said the incident at the marathon and the later one at the library may not be related. Davis also said media reports that a suspect is on police custody are not true.
Gov. Deval Patrick, also at the press conference, asked people to stay out of the area around the Boston Marathon finish line."
