After Sandy Hoax, Aurora, 9/11, Lusitania, Gulf of Tonkin, etc it is hard to believe anything anyone says at this point. I am not discounting what any of you are saying, but you have all discounted everything else I have said. Seems pretty one sided.

You're a fucking idiot. The fact that I was there, you discount it. The fact that you think Sandy Hook was a hoax shows that you're a sick fuck.

You could be a witness to it and retards like you would still believe otherwise. Idiot.

Possible suspect seen dropping object off at second detonation site.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22195871

Officials investigating the Boston Marathon bombings say they have found images of a potential suspect from surveillance camera footage.

Boston City Council President Stephen Murphy, who was briefed by police, said a man was seen dropping off a bag at the scene.

Hopefully this lead goes somewhere soon.

Ever heard of spying or divulging information or even training secretly? Many ways to contribute to the terrorist cause other than killing fellow soldiers with a knife or gun or bomb. Many many ways to do so secretly.

How are they different than my Roman catholic cousin?

How many soldiers (Western Countries) do you know have killed their comrades based on religious beliefs other than Muslims?

One incident is too much I say. Much more than one incident world wide and domestic. Look at Afghanistan for example.

Yes, they are good Muslims (not sure what percentage?) I imagine that would defend America with their lives but you cannot deny that the US Army does not look more closely (even if they deny it) on Muslim soldiers than regular soldiers due to past incidents.

I personally feel due to Islamic beliefs (way of life) they are MORE LIKELY to "break" as seen in the past as compared to soldiers of other religions. And "break" can mean other things than just outright violence.

Why can't you understand this?

Um, how about the fact that you are making huge assertions with nothing other that ridiculous speculation to back them up?

Don't worry, my posts are getting pulled down regularly to protect your righteous indignation and pacify your rage. I found this in one of the articles from your Google link:

the father wrote. "I'm really starting to lose faith in our country."

http://www.newsday.com/news/nation/...marathon-bomb-identified-by-a-photo-1.5086324

I guess I don't have to point out how awful that is to say and how indicative of what this really is, but you'll never accept it. Sounds like someone trying to tell people how to think, almost like a PsyOp. I accept that there are a lot of fucked up things going on in this country and even take the time to point a lot of them out, but why would anyone say that other than to push people to think that? Yeah, still seems fishy. I also found it interesting that the legs weren't bleeding and there was red paint all under the guy right after the blast happened.

Look at the 3:09ish mark of this video. Red paint all over the ground and a massive alleged wound that isn't even bleeding despite him getting zero aid. It's not too difficult to see through this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GaplTm8kzI

Please stop cussing me and asking for me to be banned. It only shows your unwillingness to look deeper for the truth. I just want to know the truth about what really happened and why there are so many sketchy incidents throughout the coverage.

I mean, seriously, you post about "Jeff Bauman" as if he is your brother or something. I feel bad for anyone who may have been injured, of course, but I can also look at these events critically...especially after Sandy Hook, Aurora, London Subway Bombing, 9/11, etc.

You know, after 9/11 there were some real whackos with some ridiculous "theories", but this post is definitely giving them a run for their money. You and the rest of the Youtube sleuths that have obviously never seen shit like this in real life are just absurd.

Unfortunately there is no cure for conspiracy theorists.

Powerful Drug

The obsession with conspiracy theories has been compared to an addiction. Once one has delved deeply into this mindset, recovery—a return to balanced, sound thinking—is rare. What motivates a person to immerse himself in them in the first place?


Conspiracy theories are a powerful source of pride and a wellspring of intellectual vanity. The theorist comes to see himself as thinking on a higher plane than the ignorant masses around him. He walks the fringes of society, watching his surroundings with suspicion. No one realizes what’s going on, he thinks.

If speaking his mind on conspiracies causes others to recoil, he simply dismisses them as “dumb sheep” who cannot see what he sees. Every episode like this further reaffirms how special this inside information makes him.

While many conspiracy enthusiasts lack education, the supposed inside knowledge they gain makes them feel superior—one of the elite, enlightened few. “Besides, who needs schools? They’re just brainwashing centers run by ‘the machine,’” right?

Many of these individuals enjoy the thrill of perceived danger that comes along with having supposedly top-secret knowledge, feeling as though they have a lead role in a secret-agent film—except they are not in a movie!

If a reasonable person attempts to point out serious flaws in a theory’s logic, there is a standard response: The conspirators purposely do certain things that appear to counter their goals, just to keep investigators off the trail. Once this idea is accepted, any facts—whether or not they appear to fit the supposed covert scheme—reinforce the theorist’s central idea that “things are not as they seem.”

Wow. Reprehensibly irresponsible. Apparently some idiots on Reddit circulating photos is enough "evidence" for the NY Post to run a cover story.

It turns out that both of those boys are Moroccan American HS students. The boy in the blue jacket is a Soccer player and a Track runner at his HS. He said that photos of him from his facebook were being circulated in a Newspaper in Texas and that he has received a bit of harassment from it.

He went down to the courthouse to clear his name.



This ethnic profiling shit is getting out of control....

Did you see Fox News bombard the roommate of the Saudi kid they picked up after the bombings? They were loitering outside the apartment and asked his roommate "So, do you think your friend did it?"

The Saudi kid was picked up after he was fleeing from the bomb and was tackled by one of the spectators. He was cleared and let go...but not before they ransacked his apartment.

In fairness (and I know you weren't necessarily saying that this kid was targeted due to his race), he was photographed in the immediate vicinity where the first bomb was left, carrying a backpack which appeared similar to the one that contained the bomb, and was later photographed without the backpack, suggesting that he had dropped it. That alone would be suspicious regardless of his race. The fact that he was of Moroccan origin would certainly not have helped, though.

A bunch of mortars or 500 gram repeaters you'd have tons of powder very quickly. Doesn't make sense though when you can just buy it by the jug.

Hmm, people buying jugs of blackpowder I would think would be more "rememberable" than people buying fireworks (at least in season). Perhaps it was another tactic to make it harder, potentially much harder, for them to be tracked?

The more info that gets released the more it looks like the people responsible are either incredibly stupid or incredibly smart. Since they have yet to be caught I would think that it leans more to the smart side at this point in time.

I gotta call B.S. on that. It would be irresponsible not to track down all people with dark backpacks that were bulging and that were in the vacinity. Track them, interview them, arrest them or let them go depending on what you find out. How else do you propose finding the perps?

For one thing, not printing lies that the feds were looking for those 2 specific people.

The right wing conspiracy theorist only believes in conspiracies when a black man is in the oval office.

NYPost finally did the right thing:

Two men probed in Boston Marathon bombings cleared by investigators

Investigators have now cleared the two men whose pictures were circulated last night in an email among law enforcement officials, sources told The Post today.

Authorities determined neither had any information or role in Monday’s attacks at the Boston Marathon.

The pictures, which were distributed yesterday evening in an attempt to identify them, show the two men standing with a backpack and duffel bag near the finish line, where a pair of bombs killed three and maimed 176.

Meanwhile, sources said today that the feds have an image from a store video camera of a person of interest. They also have an image of a potential witness that was captured on film, though that person is not considered a suspect, the sources said.

Authorities have not decided whether to publicly release any photos today.

Sources said the investigation could be a prolonged effort.

“It's not like we're going to have somebody in cuffs in five minutes but it is evolving,” said a federal law enforcement source.

The article says the Feds were looking for them. That information, which is easily verifiable by any responsible news agency was blatantly false. Are you implying that printing blatantly false information that can be detrimental to peoples lives is perfectly fine?

I wonder if it was an Occupy Wallstreet anarchist that wanted to get at the corporations that supported the Marathon.

Since some here are obsessed with the perp being dark-skinned how about the Ethiopian who won the race??

Of course not. I was responding to the idea that these people deserve a massive financial settlement. There has been a tremendous amount of bad info flying around from the media. There is no malice or anything, the media outlets are all trying to be the biggest click bait so they capitalize on this.

There was no real damage to the individuals. This is not at all like Steven Hatfill, where the government and media hounded him for years, cost him job and basically ruined his life. Steve deserved compensation and got it. These guys don't.

Everybody knows they are clean now and that the FBI has moved on.

blah blah blah blah blah


Denial is not a river in Egypt.

Denial is probably one of the best known defense mechanisms, used often to describe situations in which people seem unable to face reality or admit an obvious truth (i.e. "He's in denial."). Denial is an outright refusal to admit or recognize that something has occurred or is currently occurring. Drug addicts or alcoholics often deny that they have a problem, while victims of traumatic events may deny that the event ever occurred.

Denial functions to protect the ego from things that the individual cannot cope with. While this may save us from anxiety or pain, denial also requires a substantial investment of energy. Because of this, other defenses are also used to keep these unacceptable feelings from consciousness.

Notice they have labeled me as a right winger again, I guess next you're going to say I am a Christian extremist gun owning member of the Tea Party, right? Yeah, a lot of them voted for Obama so I can see why you'd say that.....wait, what???

Look like the loony left pity party is still marching on in here.

Yes, but the media certainly isn't helping by publishing photos of these people on the front pages of newspapers and magazines if it was that easy to find the kid online. Now, he probably has to deal with all the assholes that started to harass him. I don't agree with letting the public go on a witchhunt if you haven't exhausted your own internal resources first.

Another man was jumped the other day in Boston as "revenge". He was walking to a restaurant when he was confronted by a group of men asking him if he was Arab. He said he responded to their question and proceeded to go about his business when they just jumped him and then ran off.
