Boston Bombings

[TPA5]

Just wanted to offer my prayers to those caught up in the disgusting, senseless terror attacks in Boston this afternoon. From a Canadian brother, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has been hurt by this shocking attack.

totally agree on your statement sir

[JumpmanYaris]

Oh yes because you work for the people that did it and that's how you know. Correct?

[bronsin]

Here is my take on it.

The media puts these things on TV (for hours and hours) and people who normally wouldnt do things like this get the bright idea "Hey thats what I should do!"

But you may differ...

Perhaps. Perhaps not. But it is far more easily possible than a lot people would imagine.

[goliath1812]

No, I wasn't there, and I don't "know". There have just been too many "coincidences" lately that I can't just ignore and believe whatever the media is wanting to spew.

Regarding this latest line...

I have also been a little wary of things happening over the last 10+ years really. I'm not a consipracy theorist, but I have a "go bag" ready to make as quick of a run as possible to a remote compound.

Never a bad idea.

"Too bad the government had a lot to do with it"

Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
Here's my take on it---the lowlife degenerates who perpetrated this act of terror were radicalized Islamic extremist bottom dwellers who are part of a faith that glorifies collective identity, uses coercive tactics and violent measures to oppress opposing worldviews/dissent, and marginalizes the individual right to self-determination apart from said faith. Theirs is a 7th century mentality.
Again, the government had a lot to do with what?

It is my opinion that the government was involved. If not by directly placing and setting off the bombs, then by at least having prior knowledge and not alerting anybody or letting anybody know there could be a threat. There were bomb sniffing dogs at the starting line, people running the race were told the day before that they were going to die (as they were picking up pre-race documents), and before/during the race, announcements were made that there is going to be a "drill" and not to be worried. Again, I was not there firsthand, I am just reporting what I have researched. There are also reports that there were "parents" of the "Sandy Hook massacre" spotted at the race.....but Sandy Hook is a different story.
I strongly believe that the government was involved, and the media plays these stories to make Americans scared, and that gives the government control.

I agree, but the government is really more of a tool, an instrument. You might enjoy reading The True Story of The Bilderberg Group by Daniel Estulin. My mother and my aunt both married downward to a family listing in the Blue Book (my mother got married quite late in life...almost too late to have me), but my grandfather still saw to it that I was raised at his knee, so to speak, also having our own house that he let my mother pick out (within 4 miles of their house). My grandfather held two voluntary chairmanships at the behest of the Treasury Department during his lifetime. He counted among his friends (to a lesser extent) 1 POTUS and (to a greater extent) 1 SCOTUS Chief Justice and 2 California Governors (a few examples, among others). My grandmother was a member of a small bridge club (8 other ladies...sometimes they'd have 1 table and sometimes 2) for over 50 years. The same 9 ladies for over 5 decades (the 9 were also members of many of the same clubs and charitable organizations). The husband of one of the ladies was on the original Forbes 400 list (he has since passed away) and 2 other members of their family are on the current Forbes 400 list. On my end, I almost married into a 'military tradition', so to speak (no, not the McCain family, and not nearly as well known). My girlfriend's father schooled me in what he wanted me to know (he wanted me to go to Naval OCS in Newport, as one of my good friends did, rather than chase owning my own business). My girlfriend broke up with me, and then a year later regretted her decision...but I knew I could no longer really count on her in ways that I felt were meaningful. From what I learned from my grandparents, what I learned growing up where I did, what I learned from my girlfriend's father, and on my own, I don't have a lot of doubt that much of the content of The True Story of The Bilderberg Group is true.

HAd the perps planted the bombs ahead of time no doubt the authorities would have found them.

But it appears they planted them just minutes before they exploded, to avoid just such an outcome.

That of course left the perps vulnerable to being seen or video taped. Which they were and which they must have known was likely.

I RLMAO with y'all's comments. It is the most idiotic things I have heard
