From the AP:  "As sirens blared, emergency workers and National Guardsmen assigned to the race for crowd control began climbing over and tearing down temporary fences to get to the blast site." I don't know where you live but I often see the National Guard working crowd control and security at major public events.

I wonder how many people even realize that the violence from this event affects them in NO WAY WHATSOEVER, yet they will be affected when it's used as propaganda to distract from the oligarchs constant thieving from the lower and (what's left) of the middle classes.

Same M.O. as Seattle a coupla years bacK: FBI stung Muslim kid, he placed bomb (provided by FBI) in back pack and left it on a parade route. FBI then grabbed bomb, arrested kid, and voila...another victory in the WOT. This time - it's budget time in DC - they let the bombs go off. Must now increase alphabet Gestapos' money, personnel, weaponry, etc. See also: 1994 WT bombing, another FBI sting that was allowed to go ahead or - as some local agents suggested - spun out of control.

Don't take offense to it but how many cops are needed in such a small area(the immediate one where it happened) for a marathon? The actual incident is disgusting and cowardly and I am not saying it's a government plot but maybe they expected something and said nothing...just saying

Does anybody remember the Monday Night Fottball game circa 1985 when Joe Theisman of the Washington Redskins suffered a compound fracture of his ankle? It ended his career.  It must have been run continuously for the next week.  Hey!!!!  Don't watch this if you have a squemish stomach.  We will just run it again and warn you again.  Translated...this is really good gore and you will love to watch it and our ratings will go way up.

I am sad to say that I wached the video just this once and with spiritual strength, not watch it again.

The news media was never happier than when 9/11 happened. 24/7 for a week of planes hitting buildings.  Pathetic.

No doubt of that.

Real terrorist? Failed FBI "sting" operation? Homegrown lunatic? "False flag" event?

Considering how many times the FBI have set up people to carry out terrorist incidents simply to nab them at the end, and then announce they "caught a terrorist", it's quite possible this was FBI, again, who were ordered to allow an actual incident to take place.

After all, the previous setups might have simply been practice for them.

There's really no way to know.  It's a little odd that they have cameras everywhere, police everywhere, and they didn't notice a guy walking around and placing something into a bunch of trashbins, isn't it?  But mistakes do happen, even real ones.

OK... Quick thoughts... [I'm working fast here so give me some room for error]

~~~

On PREVIOUS THREAD

- First foto shows moment of explosion... [Why no flags on the left side of the street, the runners are running AWAY from camera]

- First photo [also, thehttp://www.zerohedge.com/comment/reply/472894/3452863 explosions appear to have happened near a traffic light intersection /UNCONFIRMED IN 2ND PHOTO]

- Second photo [displays falgs, & apparently blood guts & gore... Israel & Us flags are about 6 poles apart]

- Third photo... [Where are the flag poles if this was the bomb explosion site ~ though the 'intersection' part may be confirmed]

- Fourth photo... [All pickett fencing removed, as well as ALL blue barrier stuff]... [cardboard boxes at lightpost & tree]... [bench within iron railing no longer leaning, but down]?... I could easily think of other stuff

- Fifth foto... [Now blue barriers are back up, man is down, I Israeli flag is waving proudly in the background]...

~~~

Hell ~ WTF do I know?

@fuu

~~~

Some of what I look at might be right, some may be wrong...

It's just that I'm programmed to look for discrepancies now... At the moment ~ I'm looking at the 'cherry picker' location... Fucke me... It's 'on the fly' forensics on a blog...

Sue me...

~~~

Edit: OK ~ so now I'm thinking that those ABOVE fotos were taken FROM the cherry picker [how convenient]

- On the lamppost, why are the street signs positioned differently?... Moreover... Fine, they removed the barriers... But there are two flags hanging on the FIXED lamppost... [one looks like a Russian flag]... They must have needed to remove those as well... The crimescene is a fucking forensic mess...

- In photo 2, there is a light brown piece of furniture leaning against the iron rail, apparently AFTER the blast, but before the blue barricades with the flags were removed... How come the lunch tables look perfectly in tact in photo 3... Not to mention the mailbox in the middle of the photo which is nowhere to be seen?...

- Furthermore ~ the most evident bloodstain, in photo 2, projects directly in front of the leaning piece of furniture, which is in front of & left, in foto, of the tile extension... In foto 4 it's WITHIN...

- Photo 5... How long did it take for that poor guy who fell to get up off the ground to have 3 cops standing over him & an Israeli flag waving in the back?... Eh ~ fuck that... Why are the shadows of the 3 cops standing over him pointing in different directions in the Boston sun?... What time was this race run?... & why, in Photo 1, from behind, were there no shadows being cast anywhere at the moment of the explosion [which some clever person with an iPhone happened to snap in the miraculous instant of the fireball]...

- Looks like only 2 glass windows were blown out in the video...

- On a TV interview, I heard an eyewitness say that he heard 2 explosions... About 4 seconds apart...

CLINCHER???

Cameraman

'OH MY GOD... OH MY GOD... OH MY GOD"... AFTER he tramples over the fallen runner... Fucking blow me...

Well ~ That's what they reported

~~~

So ~ I'll come back with this:

The NATIONAL GUARD appeared to arrive in 5 seconds flat... Why then ~ in Photo 2... Does there appear to be a guy in a National Guard outfit running towards the bomb scene with the BACKGROUND STANDS apparently cleared?...

I guess they vacated the grandstand in 5 seconds flat...

Moreover ~ those BARRICADES, that appear to be being pulled AWAY [towards the street], at around 2:30 - 2:40... In the photo [of the other thread], appear to be MATTED DOWN TOWARDS THE BOMB BLAST [with a cop standing on top of one, no less]...

I'm just a curious dude... What the hey?... Call me 'Columbo'...

I'm just an antisemitic asshole... I'm the fly in the ointment Hans... The 'monkey in the wrench'...

Yippe Kay Ay MF

~~~

Fuckit ~ On closer look, there's actually 7 cops over the runner who fell down [one, whose shadow is pointed at 6'oclock, while the other shadows are at 4 o'clock... Quick responders I guess... Boston's Finest...

Furthermore: So I'm gonna guess that anyone who finished the Boston Marathon in 4:09:45 [& beyond], will NOT receive credit for completion because, no doubt, the streets would have been barricaded off...

Gunpowder and fuel. The burn is too clean, and the initial explosion (out) is immediately followed by an 'in' indicating a high fuel concentrations dispersed into the air, creating the fireball that sucks up, burns out, and is gone, leaving the white smoke (gun powder). Not military grade stuff, but it had to be in a larg quantity, and directed (think claymore with one side having a metal plate to direct explosion forward- in this case, into the crowd, not the runners). 

Notice the abscence of burn/scorch marks on anything, including the people? It's a very low flash point fuel, so that rules out a fertilizer based explosive, as well as the fact that a higher flash would have created a deeper sounding boom and more destruction, pluse scorch marks across the main area of the blast. 

Someone had to plant a large device, well in advance. The device to set it off had to be placed after the first group of runners went through. Why? because the police force, and military personnel would be just in advance and just behind the runners, doing crowd scans, dog sniffs, and using a particular device that the Israeli's developed just for the purpose of 'pre' detonating explosives in case they aren't detected. (Dont' sue me Francis, but I had to do a stint in that region and work with the bastards, so I'm aware of a few peices of equipment). Whoever set this off had to attach the trigger after the first wave of runners, when everone is focused forward on the winners circle and any controversial race placing. The local police and everyone at that point will have had the 'adrenaline' shakes hitting, as they have now just 'missed' any big chances for just this event, so their perceptions of someone digging in a trash can will be lower, in fact if you look at the beginning of the video, the cops all seem like their walking a beat, not actively scanning. It's because the biggest worry has already passed. Perfect timing for the event we just saw.

 

Planned. with multiple points of attack, and totally missed? I highly doubt it. Too big a package to create what it did, with no burn marks, and completely crowd directed, not runner directed. If it was runner directed, the focus would have been on the runners, on the crowd, it's an 'against Merica' thing. Let's all band together and go kick their ass......

Yep. Now that Saudi nationals have attacked us again, I wonder which country, other than Saudi Arabia, we'll invade this time?

Correct, it was 9/11 that brought us to where we are today...

but, it was 9/11/1991, not 9/11/2001.

What happened on 9/11/1991?

"...9-11 brought us to where we are today..."

 

And it is what brought us to 9-11 that we need to deal with; and that is the three branches of fascist evil that sit in their golden cocoons, whilst they send the enslaved to foreign lands around the world to murder People in massive numbers--and all to allow a martini lunch over which the fascist murderers compare the number of zeros on their net worth...

I would like to be the first to apologize to the world, and promise that We, The People of the U.S., no different than our brothers and sisters around the world, will deal with our fascist fuck government before this is all over; i.e., there will be war crime tribunals; U.S. "government" officials will suffer the death penalty for crimes against humanity.

But strange how "domestic terror" always seems to target average citizens. I would think if Domestic Terrorists exist (And they do; they reside mostly around the D.C. area), they would be targeting government agencies and other Banking institutions (the people who are causing all the trouble).... But it's never that way.

This may end up being another false flage orchestrated by the same perps that keep doing this shit all over the world.

That "sky box" thing was covered in blue plastic; not sure they could get a good view from that, whatever it was.  

Nevertheless, loads of video and pictures could be crowd-sourced from the day to piece together prior hours. The procedure should be something like: take a picture/video or video of a web-based, NIST-accurate clock for synchronization and then upload images from the prior 12 hours that were captured from that street block.

19 seconds into the video you hear it.

You can see the second explosion and smoke in the distance when the camerman pans, bottom left of the footage. You get a quick glimpse of it.
