RUSSIA AND CHINA ARE THE BIGGEST MILITARY SPENDERS

Although the world is starting to wake up to the fact that Russia and China are spending billions on rearmament, they never seem to come to the conclusion that they are a real threat. Russia will begin construction on nine submarines in the next two years, including four of the new strategic missile Borey class. But China’s build rate is much higher. Here’s the story by the UK Telegraph:

Soaring defense budgets in China and Russia mean global military spending is growing for the first time in five years, according to new forecasts. Spending across Asia and the Middle East is surging even as the military powers of Europe and the US are forced to scale back dramatically in the face of austerity cuts – contributing to a steady change in the balance of military power.

The figures were disclosed as the secretary general of Nato issued a stark warning that the West will cede influence on the world stage because of its falling spending. Anders Fogh Rasmussen said he was concerned about falling funding in Washington and European capitals while there was a military spending spree in Russia and China.

The admission that the West is “ceding military influence” hides the real issue: that Western military disarmament has always led to another world war—without exception. Kris Osborn of military.com talks about the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) report on how China is rapidly building its blue water navy.

The Chinese navy has ambitious plans over the next 15 years to rapidly advance its fleet of surface ships and submarines as well as maritime weapons and sensors, according to a U.S. Navy report… ONI leaders found that China’s navy has evolved from a littoral force to one that is capable of meeting a wide range of missions to include being “increasingly capable of striking targets hundreds of miles from the Chinese mainland.”

The Chinese navy has 77 surface combatants, more than 60 submarines, 55 amphibious ships and about 85 missile-equipped small ships [the US has 193 combat ships]. The report explains that more than 50 naval ships were “laid down, launched or commissioned” in 2013 and a similar number is planned for 2014.

During the late 1990s, “virtually all of [China’s] ships and submarines were essentially single-mission platforms, poorly equipped to operate beyond the support of land-based defenses,” ONI said. Now, China’s newest destroyer, the Luyang III-class DDG, will likely enter service this year, featuring a sophisticated phased array radar system. …

Overall, the Navy’s intelligence leadership believes that 85 percent of the Chinese naval fleet will be deemed “modern” by the U.S. by 2020.

There’s that date again—showing that China will be close to readiness for war in the next decade.

ONI raised concerns about China’s fast-growing submarine force, to include the Jin-class ballistic nuclear submarines, which will likely commence deterrent patrols in 2014, according to the report. The expected operational deployment of the Jin SSBN “would mark China’s first credible at-sea-second-strike nuclear capability,” the report states.

The submarine would fire the JL-2 submarine launched ballistic missile, which has a range of 4,000 nautical miles and would “enable the Jin to strike Hawaii, Alaska and possibly western portions of CONUS [Continental United States] from East Asian waters,” ONI assessed. [But that’s a disingenuous statement. Those same subs have already launched a missile from off the coast of California that can hit anywhere on our mainland.]

The report says the Chinese currently have five nuclear attack submarines, four nuclear ballistic missile submarines and 53 diesel attack submarines. Overall, China’s fleet of submarines has quickly increased in offensive weapons technology over the last 10 years. A decade ago, only a few Chinese submarines could fire modern anti-ship cruise missiles. Now, more than half of the conventional attack submarines are configured to fire ASCMs, the report states.

“The type-095 guided missile attack submarine, which China will likely construct over the next decade, may be equipped with a land-attack capability,” the assessment explains. This could enable Chinese submarines with an enhanced ability to strike U.S. bases throughout the region, the report adds.

Overall, according to current trends over the next 10 years, China will complete its transformation into an extensive, modern, high-tech naval force with global reach and influence.

WITH GROWING RUSSIAN MISSILE THREAT, US STILL DISARMING

It is ironic that Russia is relatively open about its military modernization. Most of today’s sources are from the “Voice of Russia,” which used to be called Radio Moscow. Although it would be naive to assume that they are telling all, it does prove my point that the US intelligence agencies are desperately trying to downplay these advances and future threats. These agencies won’t even comment on what the Russians blatantly broadcast to the world (which our media omits as well).

I think that’s because the globalists who control our government intend to continue unilateral disarmament, which I’ll cover shortly. First here’s the latest arms build-up revelation from Voice of Russia.

Russia will have built a new heavy liquid-propellant intercontinental ballistic missile by late 2018, a missile that will prove largely superior to all of its predecessors, including the world’s most powerful strategic missile Voyevoda, (NATO reporting name SS-18 Satan), in terms of combat effectiveness and the ability to penetrate the US missile defense system.

The US spent a lot of taxpayer money dismantling some of Russia’s old SS-18 missiles, (and handing back all the warheads to Russia) but only until Russia backed out of the deal last year and announced it was keeping the rest of the SS-18’s on station. That’s why this new missile is being built—to provide a replacement for these aging but powerful launch vehicles, and to provide a faster boost phase that is intended to outrun US solid fueled ABM missiles.

This came in a statement for journalists by the Commander of the Russian Strategic Missile Forces Sergei Karakayev. He pointed out that it is the deployment of the US global missile defence system, a system that grows more powerful each year that prompted Russia to think of counteraction. The missile defence system that the United States plans to deploy in Europe will be able to intercept Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles, deployed in European Russia.

The US claims the European antimissile system is designed to counter Iran’s missile threat, but Russia exposed US perfidy by offering the US a base in southern Russia closer to Iran and the US refused. Russia is the only country in Europe with ICBMs, so it rightly assumes the ABMs are aimed at them. ICBMs and submarine-based ballistic missiles are the backbone of Russia’s nuclear forces. Russia says their missiles are for “containment” of the US, but we know they are preparing for a nuclear first strike on America.

Russia is in full development of missiles capable of evading the US anti-missile defense system—which isn’t hard to do since the US ABM missiles have no warhead. The kinetic tip must make physical contact with the incoming missile to kill it, and that is extremely hard to do at the hypersonic speed of reentry. Here’s Voice of Russia again on the subject:

Under any possible scenario the Russian Strategic Missile Forces will be capable to withstand the potential of any missile defense system and to ensure fulfillment of tasks, Sergei Karakayev, Commander of the Russian Strategic Missile Forces, has told today.

The only way a ballistic missile warhead can evade is to maneuver, and you need rocket boosters to be integrated into the warhead to do that. That turns each warhead into a small guided missile, and that makes them larger and heavier—hence the need for the new and improved liquid fueled ICBMs to replace the SS-18 remaining on station. Even if the resort to movable control surfaces, that would require a longer warhead with room for a power supply and controls. But control surfaces don’t do well under hypersonic speeds.

Another problem with these larger missiles is that they are not road mobile, but they can be carried on rail cars. Nobody depends on silos anymore except the US—because they want the enemy to know where our missiles are. The US is engaging in nuclear suicide.

According to Colonel-General Karakaev, the Russian Strategic Missile Forces has six types of missile launches, both stationary and mobile, including the fifth generation Yars and Topol-M launchers, in arsenal. Karakaev noted that effectiveness of any strike force suggests a sustainable resistance to any outer impact, including a nuclear one.

The Forces account for two thirds of Russia’s nuclear weapons. Possessing a big arsenal of intercontinental ballistic missiles, they are capable of hitting any target anywhere in the world with pinpoint accuracy.

Their arsenal consists of six missile types – three, based in silos, and three, mounted on rail platforms or trucks. Importantly, the US does not possess truck- or rail-mounted missiles.

Dr Igor Korotchenko is Editor-in-Chief of the Natsionalnaya Oborona, or National Defence, journal: The might of Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces safeguards a secure future for our country. The latest addition to this might is the RS-24 Yars intercontinental ballistic missile, which can be positioned in a silo or on the back of a heavy truck. A missile of this type carries six independently targeted nuclear warheads of 150 kilotons TNT each. The Forces also possess another truck-mounted intercontinental missile, the Topol-M. It carries a single powerful nuclear warhead, which is capable of wiping out a megacity.

The Russians complain about the US backing out of the ABM treaty, which we should never have signed—since Russia never abandoned her arsenal of ABMs.

The Forces are taking on a new strategic dimension as the Americans, having withdrawn from the 1972 ABM limitation treaty, continue to refuse to extend binding guarantees that no US missile defense installation on European soil will compromise Russia’s deterrence capability. Powerful missiles capable of smashing through missile defenses are a guarantee in themselves.

But the Russian complaint conveniently omits telling that Russia backed out of the INF treaty (Intermediate Nuclear Forces) after it was found to be violating it, after the cold war ended (a carefully crafted deception). Russia never pulled their INF missiles out of Eastern Europe when the US destroyed its Pershing missiles, and the supposed anti-communist government of the Czech Republic never told the US the missiles were still there.

But with all this Russian cheating, the US steadfastly continues disarming as if it is required to by INF treaty that is already in shambles by Russia cheating. We are regaled almost weekly in the US by stories of Missiliers (Missile Launch Officers) moral being low, implicated in drugs scandals, and cheating on operational readiness exams. We are continually reminded how many billions are spent, hinting that this is a place to cut, now that the “cold war is over.”

Over 10 years, the estimated cost is $24 billion for ICBMs; $82 billion for nuclear submarines; and $40 million for nuclear bombers, as well as $11 billion for other activities, including DOD research related to nuclear forces that the Congressional Budget Office couldn’t directly attribute to one of the legs of the triad.Great Falls Tribune

Well, the cold war never was over and new a hot war is coming to this country, probably in the next decade. So, it’s no time to disarm, but that’s where we are headed. The Great Falls (MT) Tribune put out this little propaganda piece entitled: “Navy may reduce nuke numbers: Move would give ICBMs breathing room” The essence is that, “if the Navy gives up some of their submarine missiles, the US won’t have to destroy as many land based missiles in our home town.” Is this a jobs issue, or one of National Survival? With thinking like this, we’ve got real problems.

A recent report from the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists indicated the Navy will begin reducing the total number of deployed submarine launched ballistic missiles by 56. Though there has been no formal announcement by the Navy, the expected reduction could give the current intercontinental ballistic missile force some breathing room.

Especially when coupled with the reductions that will come from eliminating 50 unused Minuteman III silos in the Malmstrom Air Force Base missile field and 51 empty Peacemaker silos assigned to F.E. Warren AFB in Wyoming and Vandenberg AFB in California.

The Peacekeeper was the largest and most powerful missile the US ever produced. It was dismantled, but not destroyed. The missile guidance and rocket bodies are being stored at Hill AFB and in the West desert of Utah. But if they destroy the silos, these missiles won’t be able to be put back into commission when needed most—as Russian cheating becomes more obvious. The Department of Defense is expected to start implementing the New START plan in May or June of this year (also from the Great Falls Tribune):

According to a Congressional Research Service report from July 2013, with the launcher reduction on Trident submarines and the elimination of decommissioned silos, as well as the conversion of nuclear bombers to non-nuclear and the elimination of the last nuclear B-52G just before Christmas, the Air Force could potentially retain all 450 silos with only 400 containing missiles at any given time. Montana congressmen in particular have pushed back against an environmental study of ICBMs [to force yet more unilateral disarmament]

The New START treaty, ratified by the Senate in 2010, limits the United States and Russia to no more than 1,550 deployed warheads; 800 deployed and nondeployed ICBM launchers; submarine-launched ballistic missile launchers and heavy bombers; and to have reduced their deployed ICBMs, SLBMs and heavy bombers equipped for nuclear armaments to no more than 700.

According to data from the State Department, the U.S. has 809 deployed ICBMs, SLBMs and heavy bombers; Russia has 473. The U.S. has 1,688 warheads on deployed ICBMs, SLBMs and nuclear warheads counted for deployed heavy bombers; Russia has 1,400. The U.S. has 1,015 deployed and nondeployed launchers of ICBMs, SLBMs and heavy bombers; Russia has 894. The deadline to reach those limits is February 2018.

The last B-52G accountable under New START was destroyed just before Christmas by sawing off the plane’s tail, rendering it useless.

The truth is, the State Department and CIA are lying about Russian numbers. They simply don’t know, and are putting out numbers assuming the Russians are in compliance with all former treaties—which they are not. Our inspectors have never been allowed into the full range of Russian weapons factories or depots—the largest of which is the huge underground complex at Yamantau Mountain in the Urals, east of Moscow. And, the US isn’t counting all the new missiles Russia is building, either. Russia specifically backed out of the Nunn Lugar deal last year, which provided US aid in dismantling old toxic weapons in exchange for inspections, specifically because they didn’t want any more inspections. Go figure!

We haven’t built a new missile in a couple of decades and have no intention of doing so, while the Russians are building at least 12 per year. Nobody knows how many the Chinese are building. And, why should we be disarming at all—even if Russia were complying—when you’ve got China building huge missile forces. Disarmament only works if it is verifiable and if all parties to nuclear missiles are taking part and in equal compliance. We haven’t even suggested to China that she engage in disarmament talks!

It’s not hard to see where this is headed—weakening our nuclear triad in order to induce a growing enemy to remove any fear of striking. The third World War is inevitable and it will put the final nail in the coffin of US liberty and national sovereignty.

THIS WEEK’S ANALYSIS:

Year-End Big Picture Review of Threats

China’s Long-Range Plan for War

Don’t Despair, Prepare

9/11 Coverup Continues

US Culture War Against Christianity

YEAR END BIG PICTURE ISSUE: THREATS BOTH REAL AND VISIBLE

As we review 2013 we see several grim threats to our liberties and safety that are looming so large even those with a minimum of discernment are waking up and growing uneasy even as conspiring men feign reform or pretend to ignore the issues. At home the US government has every intention of continuing warrantless spying, the Obamacare rollout and unending debt increases despite growing public disapproval and claims of reform. Abroad, foreign intervention is increasing while the great threats of China and Russia are emerging as real and visible but which our government has no intention of countering. Worse, we can no longer depend on our elected representatives to stop any of this. It’s time to prepare in earnest for the inevitable demise of liberty even if it may not be imminent. When it does come in the next decade, it will be swift and relentless. There will be no turning back.

Both Democrats and the compromised Republican leadership have no intention of putting up any real resistance to the slow and agonizing loss of American Liberty. Their half-hearted opposition to spying, the PATRIOT ACT, and the new NDAA signed into law this week is an assent by silence to the slow erosion of liberty and constitutional protections that continues unabated.

For example, support for Obamacare has plummeted across every spectrum of the public, even among people eager for government handouts. Polls sponsored by pro-government media, like CNN, put support in the mid-30 percentile, which should be sending shock waves through the Democrats in Congress. Instead, it’s full speed ahead with implementation.

Republican House Speaker John Boehner has no intention of bringing up repeal legislation again. Neither does he intend to stop deficit spending nor hold the line on the debt limit. Instead he trotted out conservative Paul Ryan to convince Republicans that the latest budget compromise is “the best we can get.” Ryan is turning out to be one of Boehner’s “useful idiots,” to quote Lenin.

These are all crucial high-profile battles that the Republicans purposely sabotaged and lost. The political capital is spent and the waters of reform are poisoned forever so that even as public support for repeal grows, they have an excuse “not to go there” again. And, Boehner and his lackeys are preparing to sell us out on amnesty as well. That’s coming up early next year.

The courts will also continue their relentless permissiveness of government illegal acts under the guise of protecting us from terror and defending state secrets. I’m not optimistic about the temporary setback for NSA spying that one judge timidly opined was “likely” unconstitutional. The Supreme Court will reluctantly find in favor of “limited” government spying as they have in the past.

Part and parcel of this finding is the government’s continual downplaying of the degree to which it surveils worldwide communications. The spy agencies only admit to collecting “metadata” when we all know they are recording content as well—with which they analyze, sort and build future action lists targeting dissidents and political resistors worldwide. This is only peripherally involved with fighting terror which, like drugs, the government promotes as much as it counters.

Spying, indefinite detention without due process, secret prisons, torture, illegal black operations and the militarization of local police forces is all part of the world government police state they intend to force upon us as soon as the next war justifies such a massive disavowal of constitutional limits and the liberty that is inherent in national and state sovereignty.

As part of this, the push for continual “free trade” agreements with Asian and European nations will continue. While I don’t expect them to be able to fully implement the New World Order with its required taxation and police powers via these preparatory agreements, they certainly are a stepping stone towards getting people accustomed to increased international regulation and control (dubbed “cooperation”).

There is no denying that the pace of attacks against our liberty has picked up speed. This has led to a growing number of fellow commentators on the constitutional Right sounding the alarm about imminent collapse of the dollar and the economy as the catalyst for unmasking martial law and the implementation of tyranny.

I continue to caution people against this superficial analysis, often fomented by government misinformation sources inside the movement feeding disinformation to promoters like Lindsay Williams and others. Pastor Williams may well be sincere in his desire to save the country, but he continues to be deceived by his “insider sources” who have fed him bad tips for the past two years. He’s got a 100% failure rate and yet persists with the same claims, slightly more intense each time around. For a review of my analysis of why the PTB won’t crash the dollar or the economy see this link for the June 29, 2012 edition of the WAB in the archives.

I repeat for the benefit of my new subscribers that no one can be an insider feeding information to the liberty movement (they don’t want to get out) and not be discovered in this age of total surveillance. That includes the so-called “anonymous and confidential” government sources talking to mainstream “investigative” reporters. They are all known to government and every reporter’s phone is tapped constantly. When government takes reporters to court to force them to reveal their sources it is just a cover to keep the public believing in journalistic integrity.

We know what happens to real whistleblowers who reveal the illegal acts of government. They are exposed, maligned and persecuted incessantly. So any “leaker” who is allowed to keep leaking to those on our side every week or month is either not really an insider or is a disinformation expert being allowed to leak by government for manipulation purposes. Some, like the so-called “DHS insider” who talks to the Intel Hub regularly, are just patsies, in my opinion, that think they’ve been given insider access but who really are just being used to deliver disinformation to keep false conspiracies alive.

One of the main tactics of this disinformation about imminent threats is, I believe, to eventually discredit the prepper movement, 99% of which is motivated by these constant claims of imminent economic collapse. Most preppers have spouses or relatives that aren’t completely on board with their claims and consider them “paranoid” and “nuts.” Preppers who continue to regale them with the imminent collapse stories will find themselves embarrassed and increasingly unable to convince their friends and loved ones of even more serious preparations as the real threats get closer.

It isn’t that the economic collapse crowd is wrong about the dire state of our economy and the latest bubble the FED has created. It’s only that they don’t fully understand conspiracy and the larger agenda of the PTB who manipulate the economy. The conspirators have much more to gain by keeping things afloat with artificial stimulus than by letting it collapse. They control the regulatory powers as well and are able to cover up many Ponzi schemes, or at least keep them contained by denying that default ever occurs—as they did in the Greek bond haircuts forced upon investors.

With all of the fast moving events of the past year, you probably won’t be surprised that I am continually asked by subscribers if my estimate of timing has changed or moved up, especially in light of this year’s display of Chinese naval growth and aggressive behavior in the Far East. For the answer, we have to look at the potential for war, which is by far the most likely trigger for change in the world, even economic change.

A foreign attack allows our leaders to evade the blame for the dire situation and it gives them the excuse to take on dictatorial powers, restructure the money system and empower globalist solutions. In an economic collapse without war, they take the full blame, especially when all the FED watchers would know the day the PTB pulled the plug on the economy by cutting new monetary creation to zero. Ever since 2008, they have shown no inclination of pulling the plug on the economy or the dollar. It’s not a blameless rationale for martial law. They have also kept the real rate of inflation below 10%, and as long as they continue to do so, the hyperinflation threat bandied about so often won’t happen.

Here is my current feeling on the timing of war:

1. First, I have to continually remind my listeners that I’ve never given a timetable for when WWIII is going to start. I’ve concentrated on how much time I feel remains before Russia and China are ready to strike. They aren’t the same thing and don’t necessarily coincide. Even if I think they are ready, it still doesn’t mean they will strike. It could still take longer depending on the political climate at the time and whether or not an appropriate excuse has been engendered to justify war. As you all know, historically these excuses are almost always provoked by one side or the other.

2. I’ve said since the beginning of this decade that Russia and China are at least 8-10 years from having sufficient air, missile and naval forces to take on the West. We’re now 6-8 years away from that estimate where “we still have time to prepare.” I still feel confident that Russia and China won’t be ready until at least the beginning years of the next decade. In last week’s brief, I covered the fact that most of their major weapons systems aren’t scheduled to come on line until 2020-2024, so that’s still 8-10 years from now.

3. The following is very important: It is not true that Russia and China are totally unprepared until that magic time they reach optimal readiness. While it is improbable, there is nothing to say they won’t decide to strike earlier, at a lesser state of preparedness. No one is ever totally prepared for war—it’s a matter of high confidence in success, and also a matter of the right timing. As Russia and China get closer to full preparedness, the chance increases that they could grab a political opportunity to strike prior to their planned timetable if they thought they had a good enough opening—one that overcame the disadvantage of moving sooner rather than later. The US could also provoke a crisis that gave them an opportunity to strike that “they couldn’t resist.”

So, while I’m still fairly confident in my feeling that we still have several years to prepare, as we get closer to the next decade and they get closer to being ready, the chances of an early surprise attack increases as they approach full readiness. I don’t think the time will be much shorter but you need to be aware of the possibility. It’s one of the reasons why you don’t want to put off necessary preparations just because you might have more time than previously thought. Don’t try to cut it too close. With that said, let me outline some of the signs that war may be approaching sooner rather than later. I will be watching for these as well in the WAB.

First, it’s important to keep in mind that the mainstream media will increasingly concentrate on China as the problem, not Russia—even though they are both in a temporary alliance to take down the West. One will not go ahead without the other, but for some reason the word has gone out to planners to downplay the Russian threat.

I surmise that the reason Russia is being protected is that Russia provides the continual rationale for more disarmament. It is ironic (if not hypocritical) that the West will dramatize the Chinese threat more than the Russian threat but no overtures or expectations of disarmament will ever be made to China. The West has never even approached China with demands for a disarmament pact and doesn’t appear likely to do so in the future. –Not that China would ever entertain one.

The fact that the US keeps seeking disarmament pacts with the Russians in spite of continual missile manufacturing and cheating on all disarmament treaties is strong evidence that the US is trying to use disarmament to weaken our nuclear deterrence, NOT make the world safe from nuclear weapons. Evading any demands for the Chinese to disarm is even more evidence that the US overtures to Russia on disarmament have nothing to do with “making the world safe from nuclear weapons.”

So, when outlining the signs of war, keep in mind that there are two enemies and either one or both may be engaged in setting the stage for war. Both are already involved in significant and steady rearmament. That isn’t going to change, and they are starting early enough that the West won’t be able to detect a significant uptick in production later on as a sign of war.

Don’t look for Russia or China to necessarily engage in the normal massing of forces at some border as Hitler did. They will use a ballistic missile first strike with a preliminary EMP attack as a means of temporarily paralyzing US and NATO forces as the electrical grid gets taken down. This will be followed by nuclear strikes against ground targets. Once the US military is taken down they figure they can blackmail the rest of the West into submission and amass the necessary invasion/occupation forces while the West is struggling to reorganize after a nuclear strike.

Watch for these provocations that indicate war is getting nearer:

Russia: Russia will continue to contest any additional moves by former satellite states like Ukraine and Georgia moving to closer to EU integration. The latest move by Russia to bribe and threaten Ukraine from making a trade deal with the EU is, I believe, a permanent and hardened position. It won’t be reversed. Despite continued Ukrainian protests, the opposition is controlled and divided and will never be able to overthrow the pro-Moscow direction of the government. Democracy is only a sham in most of the post-Soviet states. Controlled parties on both the Left and Right keep marching inevitably toward more concessions toward Russian hegemony—especially in light of the grip Russia has on the flow of natural gas to Europe and Eastern Europe.

Remember too that the controlled opposition and continued protests also serve Russia’s purposes since she can use them when they turn violent to justify sending in Russian troops to “protect” the millions of ethnic Russians placed in each of these satellite states.

That said, I don’t expect Russia to start getting aggressive with the post-Soviet states until after the US signs another disarmament agreement with Russia. Expect feelers to be put out in 2014 for a typically one sided agreement to be signed before Obama leaves office. This is one of those things, like socialized medicine, that they do while Democrats are in the White House.

China: China has already started to increase provocations with the West in the disputed ADIZ air defense zone claimed by China in the East China Sea, as well as the Chinese naval harassment of US surveillance ships in the South China Sea in international waters. Expect those provocations to continue. China knows that by increasing the overall levels of East-West hostilities, it becomes increasingly difficult for the West to tell when China expects to go to war.

North Korea: Nothing is more telling about this tactic of “obscuration through hundreds of feints” than North Korea’s regular provocations and small military attacks on South Korea over the years. North Korea is China’s puppet state and is the one most likely to provide China and Russia with the trigger event they need for WWIII. As I have explained before, a sudden invasion/artillery attack by NK on South Korea almost guarantees a tactical nuclear response by the US since the North has such overwhelming forces just across the border from Seoul, the SK capitol. If the US uses tactical nukes to contain the onslaught, China could easily use this “first use” to launch it’s planned first strike on US military targets.

Threats against the South happen almost every month and vary in intensity. Just this week, as the UK Daily Mail reported, North Korea warned the West that “war could break out without notice” as Kim Jong-Un tells troops to get combat ready.

The warning came a day after reports that satellite images appeared to show North Korea has started producing fuel rods for its nuclear reactor. The U.S. and South Korea had been wary of possible threats from the North, where tensions have been high since the execution of Kim’s uncle and mentor. The latest saber rattling came as Kim visited his troops on Christmas Eve, according to Al Jazeera.

‘He instructed the unit to put utmost spurs on rounding off its combat readiness … always bearing in mind that a war breaks out without any prior notice,’ reports from state media said. Tens of thousands of troops pledged their loyalty to Kim last week at a parade to mark the anniversary of the death of his father, and former leader.

Satellite images seen by the Johns Hopkins University appeared to show facilities at the North’s scientific research center could be used to make fuel rods for the plutonium reactor. ‘The identification of these facilities indicates a more wide-ranging, extensive effort by North Korea to modernize and restart the Yongbyon complex dating back to 2009 than previously understood,’ the report said. North Korea’s reactor was put back into service earlier this year, after a six-year break.

North Korea’s nasty habit of threatening war and putting troops on alert is a regular occurrence, and so is NK’s breaking of agreements to limit its nuclear weapons productions. Taken in isolation, none of these minor provocations mean war is imminent. But what it does do—very effectively—is make it very hard to tell when they are serious about an attack.

One of the great dangers of NK saber rattling and keeping their enlisted and junior officers hyped up for war is that sometimes the trigger actually gets pulled, as it did when the NK artillery forces shelled Yeonpyeong Island in 2010, killing four South Koreans. They were lucky the US and SK are in such a permissive mood or there might have been a war.

THIS WEEK’S ANALYSIS:

Year-End Big Picture Review of Threats

China’s Long-Range Plan for War

Don’t Despair, Prepare

9/11 Coverup Continues

US Culture War Against Christianity

CHINA’S LONG RANGE PLAN FOR WAR

In recent weeks I’ve covered some big milestones reached by Chinese military in the development of longer ranged ICBM’s, ballistic missile submarines and blue water naval assets. In past decades, China has been very secretive about its military advancement, not wanting to alert the West to their use of stolen technology—some from outright spying (which the US facilitated under the guise of friendship), and some from technology transfers through Israel, who acts as a surrogate for the US.

The media almost never allows this secret about Israel’s links with China to come before the American public. That’s still the case even though one story did slip through this week, courtesy of Defensetech.org,

Secret U.S. missile and electro-optics technology was transferred to China recently by Israel, prompting anger from the U.S. and causing a senior Israeli defense official to resign.

Starting in 2013 Chinese state media is once again bragging about Beijing’s military prowess, touting the fact that China’s new H-6K strategic bomber can attack U.S. military bases in South Korea as well as the Japanese mainland using long range nuclear cruise missiles. This from Infowars: 

“With a range of between 1,500 and 2,000 kilometers, the CJ-10 meets the requirements of the PLA Air Force to possess the capability to launch strategic missile attacks against US military facilities and those of its allies in the Western Pacific,” states the report.

The article also lauds the fact that the H-6K can target the Japanese mainland without even leaving Chinese airspace, in addition to Russian cities in the far east, all major cities in India, as well as Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines, “in a potential war against Southeast Asian neighbors over territories in the South China Sea.”

But new and more advanced military hardware is only part of the strategic buildup for China. Just as important to a long range war plan is the ability to secure critical supplies of natural resources, strategic minerals and oil. I was pleased to see an Asian publication outline China’s strategic “String of Pearls” plan—something the US doesn’t want publicized lest the American public become alarmed.

China has locked in a good portion of the world’s strategic minerals, but it has become highly dependent on oil and gas from Iran and other bulk minerals from Australia, secured by long-term contracts. China’s external oil routes from the Middle East and Africa have to come through the Straits of Malaca—one of those strategic choke points in world geography that is difficult to keep open during war. Another is the Gulf of Hormuz, the outlet from the Persian Gulf oil basin.

Here are excerpts from a timely piece by Sam Chee Kong of the Malaysia Chronicle.

China’s largest strategic concern – regime survival and domestic stability – directly links to its economy. To sustain its economic growth China has to be depending increasingly on its external supply of energy, raw materials and food. So the development of Sea Line of Communication or (SLOCs) is vitally important as more than 80% of China’s trade go through the sea. …

..China will then need to commit more resources towards maintaining security of the shipping lanes in the Middle East. Below is the map [click on the link to see these maps] of China’s SLOC and the oil shipping lanes from Hainan Island China till the Middle East.

This gave rise to the String of Pearls strategy. It is like pearls tied to a string and each pearl represents a country normally a port where China can get access to it. The string that attach to the pearls represents the Sea Lines of Communication (SLOCs). The String of Pearls will provide China with forward presence and military bases along the SLOCs from China to the Persian Gulf in the Middle East. A pearl normally comes with facilities like airstrips and naval bases.

The First Pearl is located at the Hainan Island in South China. The Chinese have already upgraded the naval base and military facilities. This massive underground submarine and warship base is built because of its strategic location in the South China Sea. The entrance is so huge that it can allow the fleet of 50 plus conventional and nuclear submarines to go in and out without Western spy satellites detecting.

The Second Pearl is the port of Hambantota in Sri Lanka despite much objection from India. However the project is already under way and China is underwriting a US$1.2 billion package for the facility. China investment in this area will increase significantly as it has some interest in oil drilling in Northeast Sri Lanka. Hambantota port will also include aviation fuel storage facility, LNG refinery and a bunkering facility to refuel ships.

The Third Pearl is located at the Chittagong port in Bangladesh. Fourth is the Woody Island located 300 miles east of the Paracel Archipelago. An airstrip has been upgraded for this purpose. And so does Port of Sittwe in Myanmar, Marao in the Maldives and Port of Gwadar in Pakistan. The Gwadar port comes with a naval base and it is is chosen because of its strategic value in the 240 km distance from the Straits of Hormuz.

In its Grand Strategy that encompassed the ‘Peace Development’, China has identified 3 stages in development spanning 50 years. This involves both the economic and military. In the first stage of development from 2000-2010 China hopes to double its GDP and upgrade its Navy from ‘Green Water’ to ‘Blue Water’ and operate within the First Island Chain that stretch from Japan to Philippines , has been achieved.

The second stage from 2010-2020 with total GDP to be double and the development of the ‘Aircraft Carrier’ fleet of up to six carriers groups, to operate beyond the First Island Chain to reach the Second Island Chain which stretch from Guam to Indonesia and Australia is already on target with the recent commissioning of its first Aircraft Carrier, The Liaoning.

Stage 2 is also behind schedule. The Liaoning is a refurbished Ukrainian ski jump style carrier with no catapults. China will only be able to build 4 American style carriers by 2024, not six.

And finally, from 2020-2050 to catapult the nation to the middle rung of the Advanced Nations and with its Navy upgraded to a truly ‘World class Blue Water’ which can project power forward in all Oceans of the World. [The dates proffered here are false—China doesn’t intend to wait that long to fulfill this stage]

India complained to the US that China’s String of Pearls strategy is more of a strategic than commercial and the String of Pearls is encircling it from north to south. And also it feel very uneasy because a few of the pearls are India‘s old foe like Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

True. India has long been a client state of Russia until the pull back of the deceptive “collapse of the Soviet Union.” India clearly is a threat to China and is the only power in the region that has its own indigenous weapons program as well as the billions of people to man an army to match China’s. That’s why China is working to encircle India and why India is not waiting for either the West or the East to supply it with cutting edge weapons.

The Second String of Pearls is taking shape in the Pacific Ocean. China already had a strong presence in the Pacific Islands ever since there is a power vacuum left by the French and the Americans. China’s “checkbook diplomacy” did a marvelous job and it helped most of the Pacific Island nations to pay off their debts with no strings attached. Unlike Western aid which comes with a whole list of conditions like human rights, transparency, opening up of market and etc.

Without saying so publicly, the pacific String of Pearls Strategy also includes a plan to occupy Australia in the next war. That’s a natural extension of China having bought up most of Australia’s natural resources. She thinks she owns Australia now. China is also buying up timber and fisheries in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon islands. New Guinea’s vast energy and mineral resources include the Ramu Nickel and Cobalt mine.

It is not realistic, however, for China to think that she can protect her trade routes with these String of Pearl military outposts, bases and airfields. These will be used as jumping off points to conquer all the island chains surrounding China as WWIII begins—from Japan down through all the southern tier islands and perhaps even Hawaii.

China is also planning for the militarization of Space (suspecting that the US has already done so—which is true). The Pacific Islands are along the equator and International Date Line which is ideal for satellite tracking. In 1997 China built a satellite tracking station on the Tarawa atoll, which the US Marines conquered during WWII with much loss of life. Fortunately for the West, the Chinese offended the local government and was forced out. China is working on a replacement.

The third String of Pearls is likely be the African Continent since more than 20% of China’s oil imports come from that region. According to sources, Swakopmund in Namibia currently accommodate China’s third overseas satellite and space telemetry tracking station after the closure of the Tarawa base, is likely be the first pearl. Next will be the other African Nations on the east coast of Africa. The Port of Hambantota in Sri Lanka which has bunkering facilities for ship refuel and supplies provide a perfect docking point for Chinese ships on the way to Africa.

China has an interlocking network of private companies operating in almost every country of the world—all eager to take Chinese money. But these are not simply isolated developments to make use of excess foreign reserves. It’s part of an overall comprehensive strategy to consolidate and tighten its grip on the world and to project power worldwide someday. Keep in mind that China doesn’t just want to conquer the world militarily. It wants to harness the world’s economy under its personal control—a Chinese NWO if you will.

Joel Skousen: Russian Missile Forces to be Upgraded by 2021 — Clinton’s order (PDD-60) in 1997 to the missile forces to “not rely on Launch on Warning” but to “prepare to retaliate afterward” is suicide!

[…]

RUSSIAN MISSILE FORCES TO BE UPGRADED BY 2021

You will notice an almost total absence of coverage or concern for Russian military growth. It’s like it doesn’t exist in the US media, even when the Russians openly publish it in Russian sources. Here’s an example that should concern us all, as it confirms my estimates of timing relative to when Russia will be ready for a future strike on the West:

(RIA Novosti) – Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN) will be fully equipped with fifth-generation missile systems by 2021, a Defense Ministry spokesman said Wednesday. The proportion of modern missiles in the RVSN will reach around 60 percent by 2016 and 98 percent by 2021, Col. Igor Yegorov said.

In addition to the fifth-generation Yars and Topol-M missiles, new command and control centers are being built and new communications, security and other systems put in place, he said. Russia’s missile forces are being modernized in a bid to enable them to penetrate the anti-missile defense systems being fielded by NATO and the United States, Russian officials have said previously.

And, unlike US systems which are purposefully encumbered by humans transmitting codes before launch, the Russians are automating theirs so that human factors won’t be able to block a nuclear launch once initiated:

Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces will use a new-generation automated command and control system from 2016, the Defense Ministry said Thursday. The new system, based on the digital transmission of operations orders bypassing intermediary levels straight to the launch pad, allows the prompt targeting and retargeting of missiles and ensures the effective command and control of all units and subunits, Defense Ministry spokesman Dmitry Andreyev said.

The fifth-generation system will use wire, radio and satellite communication channels that are well protected from jamming and other forms of interference, he added. The system is compact and reliable and boasts low energy consumption, secure information transmission and imperviousness to external impacts, the spokesman said.

Compare this rapidly increasing readiness with the static nuclear silo based defenses the US has, and which are vulnerable to both human errors and external attack. The US missile forces have received a lot of negative publicity of late due to the sacking of its top military commander for gambling and ethics charges. Now, a leak has revealed that a couple of missileer officers have been reassigned for leaving a blast security door open while one was asleep.

The following AP article talks about this technical violation of the rules and promotes some disinformation about the launch of US missiles:

— Air Force officers entrusted with the launch keys to long-range nuclear missiles have been caught twice this year leaving open a blast door that is intended to help prevent a terrorist or other intruder from entering their underground command post, Air Force officials said.

The blast doors are never to be left open if one of the crew members inside is asleep – as was the case in both these instances – out of concern for the trouble an intruder could cause, including the compromising of secret launch codes... The officers, known as missileers, are custodians of keys that could launch nuclear hell.

The last part is only partly true. The missileers have only half the launch codes. They must receive the other part from the “nuclear suitcase” which always accompanies the President. Without getting these launch codes from the president, no missiles can be launched. So this is hype about the silos being in danger of a terror attack.

In fact, even the blast door is not the door to the outside. An unauthorized intruder would have to get past other heavy duty steel doors and get down the secure-code elevator even to approach the blast doors. Entry to that elevator is controlled from an above-ground building where the officers initially enter and have their passes checked. All are secured with armed guards and cameras. All of this security before the blast door is what gives the watch officers some feeling of complacency about the need to keep this door closed if one is sleeping (allowable on a 24 hour shift).

What the article is talking about is the underground launch center, known as a capsule for its pill-like shape, buried in the ground. Each capsule operates 10 Minuteman-3 missiles (3 warheads per missile). The missiles are also underground in reinforced concrete silos with blast doors on top which open for launch.

The real weakness of our system is that we have fixed silos, easily and precisely targeted, while the Russians use mobile launchers which are always being moved around—very hard to find and hit. That is why the US must rely on “Launch on warning,” meaning that once Russian or Chinese missiles are detected by our satellites and on the way, all our missiles must be launched to avoid being hit by the first salvo of incoming warheads. No surface blast door covering the silos is going to withstand a full nuclear ground blast.

That is also why Clinton’s order (PDD-60) in 1997 to the missile forces to “not rely on Launch on Warning” but to “prepare to retaliate afterward” is suicide. This order is still secret and has never been made public, except in synopsis form by Arms Control Today, which helped draft the new nuclear policy.

Our missile forces are still on alert and they still think they are going to launch on warning, but their ability to do so depends on getting the codes from the president. All the globalist handlers of the president have to do to ensure we absorb a nuclear first strike is to not release the launch codes or create some pretense of technical difficulty.

Other evidence of Russia emerging from the phony “fall of the Soviet Union” is that she is starting to actively export military equipment to foreign clients: Space Daily.com reports from Baghdad (UPI):

As Iraq’s government grapples with a rising al-Qaida insurgency in which thousands have been killed, officials say the military has started taking delivery of Russian arms as part of a landmark $4.3 billion contract signed in October 2012… 30 of the all-weather Night Hunter helicopter gunships and 50 Pantsyr S-1 gun-missile short-range air-defense systems.

The 2012 contract marked Russia’s return to a major Middle Eastern market it had dominated during the Soviet era. During Saddam Hussein’s rule, that ended in April 2003, Moscow was Iraq’s main arms supplier.

THE RUSSIA THREAT CONTINUES TO GROW

The Russians have finally moved on from their formidable Topol M missiles and developed a new ballistic missile that has a faster boost phase to thwart the US anti-missile system being placed in Europe. Bill Gertz reports:

The new RS-26 missile will be equipped with three multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles, or MIRVs. [Multiple Independent Reentry Vehicles]. What is new is that the warheads are [mounted on] SUPER-HIGH SPEED vehicles capable of maneuvering from missile interceptors.

A House defense aide said the new missile appears to violate the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, based on recent tests and Russian statements that it is designed to thwart U.S. defenses. The treaty bans missiles with ranges of between 310 and 3,400 miles

The maneuvering warheads are considered advanced technology that will increase the precision targeting of the missile system. The missile also reportedly will be equipped with a high-performance FUEL that BOOSTS acceleration shortly after launch, a feature useful for avoiding anti-missile interceptors. The Russians are advertising this as a system capable of defeating U.S. missile defenses in Europe.

At the same time, the STATE DEPARTMENT is accepting Russia’s claim that this is an ICBM and doesn’t violate INF. It can’t be both.

That is right. The Russians already pulled out of the INF treaty [Intermediate Nuclear Forces], so why does the US continue to pretend they are in compliance and need to be held to its promises? A missile capable of this much acceleration has to be small enough to be an intermediate missile only. Full-sized ballistic missiles for long range are much too large to have enough acceleration to avoid ABM interceptors.

Once again, we have to ask “How can the US continue to justify increased disarmament of warheads and launch vehicles in the face of this Russian violation of past treaties?” The answer can only be because the US wants this war, and has to keep disarming to help Russia so they have the confidence to finally strike.

This Week’s Analysis:

Feds Purposely Making Life Difficult over Shutdown

FEDS PURPOSELY MAKING LIFE DIFFICULT OVER SHUTDOWN

The list of vindictive federal closures is growing longer and a pattern is emerging. The Obama administration is restoring military-related contracts but going out of their way to antagonize any individual that has even an ancillary connection with federal land or parks. It’s no secret that during the 1995 government shutdown the Clinton Administration tried to inconvenience the general public in order to bring pressure on Republicans, but this administration is pushing things further by taking it out on the little guy and resisting any attempt by Congress or volunteers to ameliorate the shutdown. The Administration has even refused offers that would help individuals or small businesses that have been kept from working because of the shutdown. It’s as if this government wants this experience to be as nasty as possible. Still, the blame is squarely being laid on the Administration—not Congress (though you’d never know that by listening to the media).

As I pointed out last week, the Pentagon shut down a lot of core military contractors by furloughing civilian workers. In today’s military nothing runs without civilian contractors. Those furloughs lasted only a couple of days before Obama ordered them all back to work. But no such leniency was granted to ordinary people whose livelihood is connected with federal lands, parks or bureaucratic permissions.

Wes Pruden, former editor of the Washington Times pulled out his pen again to document some of the outrageous actions of the administration.

The Park Service appears to be closing streets on mere whim and caprice. The rangers even closed the parking lot at Mount Vernon, where the plantation home of George Washington is a favorite tourist destination. That was after they barred the new World War II Memorial on the Mall to veterans of World War II. But the government does not own Mount Vernon; it is privately owned by the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association. The ladies bought it years ago to preserve it as a national memorial. The feds closed access to the parking lots this week, even though the lots are jointly owned with the Mount Vernon ladies.

“It’s a cheap way to deal with the situation,” an angry Park Service ranger in Washington says of the harassment. “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting.”

What’s even more troubling is why none of the Republican leadership have gotten a hold of Pruden to ask who made this statement. Can you imagine the public relations disaster this would be for the administration if the Republicans would put this guy on the witness stand and force him to reveal who gave the orders to “make life difficult” for the people? Perhaps House Speaker Boehner isn’t really there to win this battle.

There are many stories of public outrage that I could cite but few are as egregious as what a few seniors experienced while on a tour bus going through Yellowstone National Park. John Macone has the story with added commentary:

Pat Vaillancourt went on a trip last week that was intended to showcase some of America’s greatest treasures. Instead, the Salisbury resident said she and others on her tour bus witnessed an ugly spectacle that made her embarrassed, angry and heartbroken for her country. Rangers systematically sent visitors out of the park, though some groups that had hotel reservations — such as Vaillancourt’s — were allowed to stay for two days. Those two days started out on a sour note, she said.

The bus stopped along a road when a large herd of bison passed nearby, and seniors filed out to take photos. Almost immediately, an armed ranger came by and ordered them to get back in, saying they couldn’t “recreate.” The tour guide, who had paid a $300 fee the day before to bring the group into the park, argued that the seniors weren’t “recreating,” just taking photos. “She responded and said, ‘Sir, you are recreating,’ and her tone became very aggressive,” Vaillancourt said.

Vaillancourt was one of thousands of people who found themselves in a national park as the federal government shutdown went into effect on Oct. 1. For many hours her tour group, which included senior citizen visitors from Japan, Australia, Canada and the United States, were locked in a Yellowstone National Park hotel under armed guard.

The tourists were treated harshly by armed park employees, she said, so much so that some of the foreign tourists with limited English skills thought they were under arrest. When finally allowed to leave, the bus was not allowed to halt at all along the 2.5-hour trip out of the park, not even to stop at private bathrooms that were open along the route.

“It was like they brought out the armed forces. Nobody was saying, ‘we’re sorry,’ it was all like — ” as she clenched her fist and banged it against her forearm. “They looked like Hulk Hogans, armed. They told us you can’t go outside,” she said. “Some of the Asians who were on the tour said, ‘Oh my God, are we under arrest?’ They felt like they were criminals.”

Barricades were erected around Old Faithful, and the seniors were locked inside the hotel, where armed rangers stayed at the door. The bus trip made headlines in Livingston, where the local newspaper Livingston Enterprise interviewed the tour guide, Gordon Hodgson, who accused the park service of “Gestapo tactics.” “A lot of people who were foreign said they wouldn’t come back (to America),” she said.

Some Western state governors have tried to get the feds to let them help out to keep the parks open, but the answer is always “no.” Last week when World War II veterans broke down the yellow tape closing off the World War II memorial, the government responded by bringing in more sturdy wire barricades and guards were posted. How’s that supposed to save money at monuments who had no guards or employees prior to the shutdown? John Nolte documents this and other cases of the Obama Administration unnecessarily inflicting public pain during this shutdown:

While our president still enjoys his essential employees and locations: the White House chefs, Camp David, and a military golf course, there doesn’t seem to be any question that in mercenary pursuit of a political win, this White House is determined to unreasonably punish as many everyday people as possible. And this includes children sick with cancer. That might sound like hyperbole, but it is not.

Child Cancer Patients Used as Pawns: The program at the National Institutes of Health which offers last-chance experimental cancer treatments for children suffering from cancer also got the ax. Republicans in Congress offered to fund the NIH program separately but the White House has threatened a veto.

Nolte says, “The media may or may not report on these individual occurrences, but what they will never do is provide the American people with the full context and scope of Obama’s shrill pettiness. Below is a list of illogical, unnecessary, and shockingly spiteful moves our government is making in the name of essential and non-essential. [I’ve omitted the ones I reported on previously]

The Republican National Committee has offered to cover any costs required to keep the WWII memorial open. The White House refused. Moreover, like the NIH, the GOP will pass a compromise bill that would fund America’s national parks. Obama has threatened to veto that bill. The Vietnam Memorial and Iwo Jima Memorial closed, barricades erected even though never manned.

Furloughed Military Chaplains Not Allowed to Work for Free – Furloughed military chaplains willing to celebrate Mass and baptisms for free have been told they will be punished for doing so.

Business Stops In Florida Keys – Small businesses, hunters, and commercial fisherman can’t practice their trade. While the feds have deemed the personnel necessary to keep this area open “non-essential,” the “enforcement officers” to ensure no business is done are “essential.”

Obama Forces Residents Out of Private Homes – “The government shutdown is being felt close to home for some locals. They say they’re being forced out of private homes on Lake Mead because they sit on federal land.”

Obama Shuts Down a Road That Goes Through CO Park: “The Forest Service announcement, in turn, led the Pitkin County commissioners to order that Maroon Creek Road be shut down at the height of the colorful leaf-changing season.

Obama Blocks People From LOOKING at Mt. Rushmore – “Blocking access to trails and programs at South Dakota’s most popular attraction was one thing, but state officials didn’t expect Congress’ budget stalemate to shut down a view of Mount Rushmore. The National Park Service placed cones along highway viewing areas outside Mount Rushmore this week, barring visitors from pulling over and taking pictures of the famed monument. [Similarly State Route 9 in Utah, a critical road that goes right through the beauty of Zion’s National Park, had to be left open but park police are ticketing people who get out of their cars to view the scenery.]

Crucial USDA Websites Taken Down – “The U.S. Department of Agriculture has turned off its entire website in response to the government shutdown, leaving farmers, reporters and others with no way to access any of the agency’s information online [as if it costs anything to leave it up]. USDA’s total website shutdown goes far beyond the response of other federal agencies, and seems to be part of an effort to make people feel the effects of the shutdown. This website is down and yet the ObamaCare, White House, the first lady’s websites are up.

Arizona Offers to Fund Grand Canyon, Obama Says ‘Drop Dead’ – “Obama has ordered the Grand Canyon to stay closed, even after the state of Arizona and local businesses have offered to cover the costs necessary to keep it open. In other words, the shutdown isn’t about the money — it’s about hurting the American people just because he can. [In today’s news Obama agreed to let some states fund the parks to keep them open, but he’s not offering to let them have the entrance fees the federal government collects]

Amber Alert Website Taken Offline – CNN reported that bad press was a factor in the site going back up.

Federal Prison Guards Not Getting Paid, Inmates Are – “Most of the employees at the federal prison in Forrest City are working without knowing when they will get a paycheck because of the government shutdown, but some of the inmates who get paid for the work they do inside will have no problem collecting their money.”

King Crab Season Threatened by Government Shutdown – “The Alaska king crab season is set to start soon, but all the fishing boats will have to stay docked because the government must sign off on permits and quotas. “Fisherman stand to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars unless lawmakers make a compromise.”

Columbia Island and Washington Sailing Marina Closed – Email from reader: “My husband received an email from WSM saying that boat owners could only go to their boats to remove items. If they leave the slip with their boat they are not allowed to return to their (paid for) slip [until] the government re opens.”

IRS Collections Operational, Taxpayer Advocate Office Closed

Eleven Hundred Square Miles of Florida Ocean Closed – Email: “You omitted the ban on Florida charter boat captains taking fishermen into an 1,100 square mile section of ocean of the coast of Tampa. Apparently, government resources patrol it.”

Shutdown Denies Death Benefits to Families of Fallen Soldiers – “The families of five U.S. service members who were killed over the weekend in Afghanistan have been notified that they won’t be receiving the $100,000 benefit normally wired to relatives within 36 hours of the death. The “death gratuity” is intended to help cover funeral costs and help with immediate living expenses until survivor benefits typically begin.”

The only reason I can conceive for this “stick it to the people” attitude is that whoever is running this shutdown show in the White House put out the word to “make life difficult” thinking he was doing the same thing that Clinton did in the late 90s. But overzealous bureaucrats (political appointees) in the Park Service and elsewhere went overboard to such an extent that the public backlash was aiming at Obama rather than the Republicans. So rather than admit error, they gone silent and relied on the media to not give coverage to these egregious and unnecessarily painful measures.

Of course, the White House also had the complicity of the Republican leadership, who just announced that both sides had agreed NOT to criticize or attack each other. Let me explain why this only benefits Obama: Prior to the agreement, the media was only blaming the Republicans, and wasn’t airing the complaints of citizens who were blaming the administration. So now Republicans have muzzled their own cause (if they ever intended to use it…) by agreement, to ensure they can’t put the blame for the worst actions on Obama where it belongs.

Where do we go from here? The GOP led House of Representatives has offered concessions to ameliorate the damage of the selective shutdown, but Obama rejects most of them. The House passed a resolution ensuring that all furloughed employees would get back pay for the time they were furloughed. I hope that also applies to the FAA maintenance personnel who are still working but not getting paid. They keep the electronics and navigation systems running so that the Air Traffic Control system still functions. Obviously, those are essential personnel whose pay should never have been cut.

As for the rest of the furloughed federal employees, many of their jobs should be eliminated, and Congress just undid any savings the partial shutdown afforded by offering to pay back wages. That’s like saying we are implementing a balanced budget amendment but offering to pay the wages of everyone whose jobs must be eliminated. Nonsense.

ASSESSING CHINA’S LONG-TERM THREAT

Every week new information surfaces about China’s massive military building program. This week wired.com wrote about China’s new fleet of small, triple-hull, low-radar-profile attack vessels that are designed to act in swarms against larger naval foes. The US has been working on a small, fast warship much longer but with little to show for it:

In just seven years, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy has built 83 of the 400-ton Type 022s at an estimated cost of $40 million per ship. And production continues at a high rate in several shipyards. The U.S. Navy, by comparison, has finished just two LCS [Littoral Combat Ship] in the same span of time, each at a cost of more than $600 million.

While bigger US ships might outgun even half of the Chinese vessels, an 80 to 2 advantage in quantity can take its toll on American technical superiority. As wired said in another article, the Chinese weapons strategy focuses on numbers:

But Beijing has a brutally simple — if risky — plan to compensate for this relative weakness: buy missiles. And then, buy more of them. All kinds of missiles: short-range and long-range; land-based, air-launched and sea-launched; ballistic and cruise; both guided and “dumb.” [and put them on small fast ships like they are building]

Fortunately, quite a few analysts in the private sector are taking a good hard look at the future Chinese nuclear threat and even starting to watch for World War III. Breakingdefense.com published an article this week that jumped right into the whole topic. Here are excerpts with my comments and corrections:

Because China believes it is much weaker than the United States, they are more likely to launch a massive preemptive strike in a crisis. [It has nothing to do with weakness, which China clearly is intent on overcoming. It has everything to do with the strategy of deception and surprise attack.] Here’s the other bad news: The current US concept for high-tech warfare, known as Air-Sea Battle, might escalate the conflict even further towards a “limited” nuclear war, says one of the top American experts on the Chinese military. [The escalation will happen very fast once it starts. If I’m right about North Korea being preserved by the West from regime change to serve as the trigger for WWIII, in any initial attack on South Korea by the North, the US will be “forced” to use tactical nuclear weapons to stop NK’s overwhelming forces in the peninsula. This will provide China with the excuse to initiate their pre-emptive nuclear strike on America—blaming the USA for “first use.”]

China analyst Larry Wortzel said at the Institute of World Politics: “The People’s Liberation Army still sees themselves as an inferior force to the American military, and that’s who they think their most likely enemy is.” That’s fine as long as it deters China from attacking its neighbors. But if deterrence fails, the Chinese are likely to go big or go home. [Go Home isn’t an option for the Chinese]. “What they do is very heavily built on preemption,” Wortzel said.

Wortzel argued that… “China’s dependent on these ballistic missiles and anti-ship missiles and satellite links,” he said. Since those are almost all land-based, any attack on them “involves striking the Chinese mainland, which is pretty escalatory.” [Wortzel is too hung up on the concept of escalation—thinking that the war will rise gradually in intensity, as have past wars. But, he’s wrong. He fails to understand that both the Russians and Chinese intend to execute a huge nuclear first strike so as to eliminate our retaliatory potential.]

“You don’t know how they’re going to react,” he said. “They do have nuclear missiles. They actually think we’re more allergic to nuclear missiles landing on our soil than they are on their soil. They think they can withstand a limited nuclear attack, or even a big nuclear attack, and retaliate.” [And, they can–because they are preparing huge underground shelters. In the US, only our leaders are preparing huge shelters. They want the public vulnerable so they can come out of our bunkers and talk us into joining a militarized NWO to prosecute the war.]

So how would China’s preemptive attack unfold? First would come weeks of escalating rhetoric and cyberattacks. There’s no evidence the Chinese favor a “bolt out of the blue” without giving the adversary what they believe is a chance to back down. [This is frankly very naive, and based on wishful thinking. The Chinese are ruthless in their strategic thinking and won’t give much warning]

When the blow does fall, the experts believe it would be sudden [but notice what Wortzel says the “sudden” attack applies to:]. Stuxnet-style viruses, electronic jamming, and Israeli-designed Harpy radar-seeking cruise missiles (similar to the American HARM but slower and longer-ranged) would try to blind every land-based and shipborne radar. Long-range anti-aircraft missiles like the Russian-built S-300 would go for every plane currently in the air within 125 miles of China’s coast, a radius that covers all of Taiwan and some of Japan. Salvos of ballistic missiles would strike every airfield within 1,250 miles. That’s enough range to hit the four US airbases in Japan and South Korea – which are, after all, static targets you can look up on Google Maps – to destroy aircraft on the ground, crater the runways, and scatter the airfield with unexploded cluster bomblets to defeat repair attempts. Long-range cruise missiles launched from shore, ships, and submarines then go after naval vessels. And if the Chinese get really good and really lucky, they just might get a solid enough fix on a US Navy aircraft carrier to lob a precision-guided ballistic missile at it.

Wortzel is conjuring up a scenario in which the Chinese attack like we would attack—a multi-faceted strike using all forms of military power—cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, bombers, fighters, naval power and a mix of electronic jamming warfare and cyber attacks. What he is missing is the advantage the Chinese and Russians intend to gain by using hundreds of ballistic missiles flying that are capable of taking out most of our military in a dramatic first strike!

Why they can’t see this, given the huge investment both Russia and China are making into underground protected and mobile ballistic missile systems, is worrisome. The Russians just announced another new ballistic missile system this week. US military planners have been propagandized for so long in their War College lectures, about the deterrence factor of “Mutually Assured Destruction” that they no longer seem to believe anyone is going to pull the nuclear trigger.

Think like the enemy: Even if you had similar conventional weapons at your disposal, but always slightly behind American military technology, wouldn’t you rather use the nuclear option to reduce the odds and wipe out most of those US and NATO weapons in one nuclear first strike? The reason why the Chinese and Russians are building convention weapons is for mopping up and occupation after a nuclear first strike. For the enemy, nuclear weapons are not a last resort, but the primary offensive choice.

The article spends a lot of time talking about the degree of training and sophistication it takes to run a coordinated war between Army, Naval, Air and Missile forces. They are right and the Russians and Chinese aren’t close to being able to imitate the sophistication of US and NATO coordinated attacks using a wide range of conventional weapons.

The bigger issue is ensuring the Second Artillery [what the Chinese call their ballistic missile forces] can operate relatively seamlessly with the Chinese air force and navy. So far, the three forces rarely train together in peacetime and they have no real-world combat experience fighting together. “Their military was always separated really into a ground force, a navy, and an air force, and since about ’63 a missile force, that never operated together, never,” said Wortzel. “They planned independent campaigns.”

But the Chinese are getting better, in the use of joint command structures in disaster relief operations and, most notably, with their “Vanguard 2009” exercises in the Jinan Military District, Dean Cheng notes. It’s well worth noting that the officer who commanded both those exercises and much of the response to the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, Gen. Fan Changlong, has since been promoted two ranks to become senior vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission, sort of China’s equivalent of the Joint Staff and the National Security Council rolled into one. While not conclusive, Fan’s rapid rise to such an influential position “suggests that joint operations is really important,”

Cheng declined to guess how good the Chinese had gotten at coordinating all their armed services in joint operations. “Is it a shortfall? Probably, but it’s a lot less of a shortfall than in 1999,” he said.

Others ask why the Chinese are building aircraft carriers even while planners in the West are wondering if carriers are sitting ducks in the next world war. I think it’s another sign that the Chinese plan on using the pre-emptive nuclear strike to take down most of the US military. Only then could their inferior carriers be useful for the inevitable occupation of the Far East from Japan down to Australia that they are planning.

Sure, the Chinese are planning on using EMP and cyber attacks to shatter the computer dependency of US military coordination—but only after the West has been softened up and perhaps beaten into submission by a massive pre-emptive nuclear strike. It’s archaic and wishing thinking that the Chinese and Russians will hold back the use of nuclear missiles as a last resort. Every major Russian war game starts with a simulated pre-emptive nuclear strike on America, followed up by conventional weapons, not the other way around.

From Coast to Coast AM:

Joining John B. Wells, Stewart Rhodes, founder and President of Oath Keepers, argued that there’s a relentless campaign going on to centralize power, militarize the police, and strip power out of the hands of average citizens. …

His organization, the Oath Keepers, works with military veterans, law enforcement, and first responders to remind them of their oaths to defend the Constitution, and not “just follow orders” that go against the people. Their mission also includes training these veterans and officers to become community leaders, to be able to step in during a crisis….

The real war going on is the elites versus the free people of the world, whom they seek to usher into a police state, Rhodes stated. The American people have to get back to their independence, starting with self-sufficiency and food reserves, yet the survivalist approach of working in isolation isn’t going to work, he commented. We have to think in terms of community, he said, such as a local VFW forming its own battalion.

Syria & Geopolitics

First hour guest, political scientist Joel Skousen provided insights on world affairs such as the situation in Syria. He doubted that Assad was behind the chemical attacks on Syrian civilians. The US and Israel have been looking for a way to justify an attack on Iran, and they hope by attacking Syria, Iran may support Assad with a retaliation, which would open the door for a war with them, Skousen posited. The US wants to target Iran not only to curtail their nuclear weapons development but to cut them off as an oil supplier to China, he continued, adding that he foresees an eventual war between the US and Russia & China.

US SURVEILLANCE OF THE MAIL

Although the US mail is still the most secure form of written communication (only because the government can’t see or open everything), they have computerized mail searches if and when they decide to target a particular person with a known address. Rod Nixon of the NY Times reports the following:

For mail cover requests, law enforcement agencies simply submit a letter to the Postal Service, which can grant or deny a request without judicial review. Law enforcement officials need warrants to [actually] open the mail, [although they never get one unless they are preparing to go to court] although President George W. Bush asserted in a signing statement in 2007 that the federal government had the authority to open mail without warrants in emergencies or foreign intelligence cases. [Emphasis added]

Signing statements technically don’t have any legal standing, but the courts haven’t ruled against them, as they should.

Court challenges to mail covers have generally failed because judges have ruled that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy for information contained on the outside of a letter.

While this is true, once the letters are collected and in the hands of government, does the court really expect the government to go get a warrant before they read them?

Officials in both the Bush and Obama administrations, in fact, have used the mail-cover court rulings to justify the N.S.A.’s surveillance programs, saying the electronic monitoring amounts to the same thing as a mail cover.

It DOES NOT, since all digital communications can be computer read, but not letters sealed inside envelopes. Computers are essentially opening and reading the electronic mail, but it’s still more laborious to do with snail mail, and the government only does it for specific targets—not the public at large.

Just like the NSA, the NY Times says, “Postal officials refused to discuss either mail covers or the Mail Isolation Control and Tracking program.” Why am I not surprised?

This Week’s Analysis:

Government Won’t Stop Spying

Utah Data Center Ready by September

IRS Training with Assault Weapons

US Says Syria Crossed Red Line

US China Summit Symbolic of Placating China

GOVERNMENT WON’T STOP SPYING

There is not a hint of contrition in the statements of intelligence officials as they pulled out all the old justifications for violating the 4th Amendment—to save us from terror. Gen. Keith B. Alexander, head of the National Security Agency told a Congressional committee this week that “dozens” of terror threats have been stopped thanks to the huge database of phone calls and emails the NSA has amassed. I say, “Prove it.” He also claimed that records are destroyed after 5 years, but the only files that get deleted are the remnants of information that have been sifted through already. The emails and calls that get a person on the lists of potential dissidents is never erased. When the new data center in Utah is completed this fall, they will keep everything, including all bank records, credit card and real estate data. Welcome to the Total Information Awareness system that DARPA claimed was shut down—another in a series of BIG lies.

Brandon Smith commented that,

In the past, Liberty Movement champions have been derided as “paranoid” for pointing out that there were no limitations to FISA, and that the entire nation might one day be monitored and catalogued like animals in a great technological cage. Today, the public now knows that this concern is concrete and undeniable. EVERYONE is being watched. Reports now estimate that NSA hackers harvest over 2.1 million gigabytes of data on American citizens per hour.

And, it’s not just domestic spying, the NSA is building a system to capture all digital signals from every country in the world. That can only mean that the system the US is building is ultimately intended to become a global surveillance system under a global world government. Glenn Greenwald of the UK Guardian details the nature of this global spy system.

The Guardian has acquired top-secret documents about the NSA datamining tool, called Boundless Informant, that details and even maps by country the voluminous amount of information it collects from computer and telephone networks.

The focus of the internal NSA tool is on counting and categorizing the records of communications, known as metadata, rather than the content of an email or instant message.

That isn’t true. The NSA has huge computers sifting the content and the metadata—don’t be fooled into thinking there is a difference between simply collecting the data and “not doing anything about it.” They are always doing something with the data, and names and dossiers are being sorted into various categories and lists every minute of the day.

The Boundless Informant documents show the agency collecting almost 3 billion pieces of intelligence from US computer networks over a 30-day period ending in March 2013. An NSA factsheet about the program, acquired by the Guardian, says: “The tool allows users to select a country on a map and view the metadata volume and select details about the collections against that country.”

The heatmap gives each nation a color code based on how extensively it is subjected to NSA surveillance. The color scheme ranges from green (least subjected to surveillance) through yellow and orange to red (most surveillance). Iran was the country where the largest amount of intelligence was gathered, with more than 14bn reports in that period, followed by 13.5bn from Pakistan. Jordan, one of America’s closest Arab allies, came third with 12.7bn,[—all 3 labeled as Red on the Heat Maps] Egypt fourth with 7.6bn and India fifth with 6.3bn.

But this is merely a reflection of the ease with which these nation’s systems can be penetrated, not necessarily the number of threats in the country. Jordan certainly isn’t third on the NSA target list. Allies like Germany and France are incensed that the US is spying on all their communications as well. Zerohedge reports:

German outrage over a U.S. Internet spying program has broken out ahead of a visit by Barack Obama, with ministers demanding the president provide a full explanation when he lands in Berlin next week and one official likening the tactics to those of the East German Stasi.

Interestingly, the US captures much more information from within the US than it does on Russia, China or any other nation that is a real threat to the US. Let’s look at some of the government lies and excuses on this subject:

From the Guardian story above: At a hearing of the Senate intelligence committee In March this year, Democratic senator Ron Wyden asked James Clapper, the director of national intelligence: “Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?” “No sir,” replied Clapper.

Jason Ditz of Anti-War.com derided Clapper’s attempt to defend his lies: Clapper was defiant on Sunday news shows when asked about that particular federal offense, saying he felt the question he was asked was “unfair” and that he gave the “least untruthful” lie he could think of in response. Which was still a horrible lie that he eventually got caught in, as he attempted to defend lying under oath. [how is a flat out “no” the least untruthful?”]

The Guardian again: Judith Emmel, an NSA spokeswoman, told the Guardian in a response to the latest disclosures: “NSA has consistently reported – including to Congress – that we do not have the ability to determine with certainty the identity or location of all communicants within a given communication. That remains the case.”

Emmel’s quote is misleading. It sounds like the NSA can rarely read even the metadata accurately, but in fact all she said is that the identity of a communicant sometimes evades their detection. That might be a glimmer of hope for those who know how to cover their tracks well online, but it’s hardly reassuring to the general public. NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden says the government is capturing digital communications from everyone—not just those suspected of terror. The Guardian comments on the proof Snowden showed them (and much of the good stuff hasn’t been released by the Guardian):

Other documents seen by the Guardian further demonstrate that the NSA does in fact break down its surveillance intercepts which could allow the agency to determine how many of them are from the US. The level of detail includes individual IP addresses.

The litany of government excuses to help downplay the scandal runs the gamut of 1) saying they collect data but don’t do anything with it, and 2) that oversight by the Courts and Congress guarantees that American’s privacy is still protected—really big lies:

On Friday, in his first public response to the Guardian’s disclosures this week on NSA surveillance, Barack Obama said that congressional oversight was the American peoples’ best guarantee that they were not being spied on.

Oversight is a sham. How can he say with a straight face that we are not being spied on when the government doesn’t even contest the fact that all emails and phone calls are recorded? I guess it depends on his “definition of spying.” The trouble with the idea that there is no spying if we aren’t reading what we collect is that there is no possible oversight to ensure computers aren’t reading what is collected. Certainly they never tell Congress any specifics so to the government, “oversight” means “taking our word for it!” —hardly reassuring given the litany of lies. The only safety for privacy is to ensure the government doesn’t collect data. It can’t read what it doesn’t collect.

“These are the folks you all vote for as your representatives in Congress and they are being fully briefed on these programs,” he said. Obama also insisted that any surveillance was “very narrowly circumscribed”.

Fully briefed? –Hardly. That’s another lie or misdirection. Congress is briefed only in general and is never given true information about the scope of the spying. In addition, those Congressmen and women who serve on the committee are all certified yes-men and women to government and would never challenge anything. We cannot depend on them to become whistleblowers. Besides, they are sworn never to say anything about what they learn in these briefings to the public, or even other members of Congress. With these kinds of restrictions how can illegal acts be exposed or corrected? Answer: They can’t.

Then there is the excuse that the NSA is only doing what Congress authorized in the FISA court authorization bill. Here’s the NY Times projecting the government line:

The director, Gen. Keith B. Alexander, who heads both the N.S.A. and United States Cyber Command, which runs the military’s offensive and defensive use of cyberweapons, told skeptical members of the Senate Appropriations Committee that his agency was doing exactly what Congress authorized after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

As an aside, General Alexander is the perfect yes-man to government and no stranger to black operations or lying to Congress. The notorious prison unit responsible for Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse in Baghdad was under his command. He was part of the cover-up there as well blaming the Abu Ghraib scandal on a “group of undisciplined MP soldiers.” Nonsense. These orders for torture came down from the White House and Alexander was in that chain of command.

But the administration cannot justify this under the FISA law. Jim Sensenbrenner (the notorious conservative who introduced the PATRIOT Act) said that the executive branch’s excuses about recent revelations of NSA activity are “a bunch of bunk” according to National Review.

In an interview on Laura Ingraham’s radio show Wednesday morning, the Republican congressman from Wisconsin reiterated his concerns that the administration and the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court have gone far beyond what the PATRIOT Act intended. Specifically, he said that Section 215 of the act “was originally drafted to prevent data mining” on the scale that’s occurred.

[NY Times again] General Alexander said the agency “takes great pride in protecting this nation and our civil liberties and privacy” under the oversight of Congress and the courts.

But the oversight claim is a lie. Congressman Sensenbrenner made it very clear, that “the secret nature of the FISA court has prevented appropriate congressional oversight over the NSA’s activities.”

“We aren’t trying to hide it,” he said. [Then why was it secret and why are you trying to prosecute Snowden?] “We’re trying to protect America. So we need your help in doing that. This isn’t something that’s just N.S.A. or the administration doing it on its own. This is what our nation expects our government to do for us.”

Just as the intentional leaks of 2007 about illegal surveillance led Congress to pass more laws to make some spying legal, Alexander is directly lobbying Congress to allow this total surveillance program—retroactively. As with 9/11 or the spy scandal of 2007 no one will be disciplined for violating their oath to the Constitution in this matter.

As for Alexander’s claim that all of this is legal because the FISA court authorized it, that isn’t true. When Congress established the FISA court (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) it was tasked to scrutinize CIA or NSA requests for domestic surveillance on a case by case basis and those cases had to be directly related to a terror investigation.

The FISA court does nothing to force government officials to prove the legality and origin of evidence they bring before the court—almost all of which is derived from electronic surveillance. Moreover, the FISA court has no authority from Congress to allow the wholesale collecting of all data such as during the supposed 3 month period it authorized the NSA to capture data from all Verizon phone logs.

Frankly, the NSA doesn’t invest billions in creating a huge system like PRISM just for a 3 month window of authorization by the FISA court. In other words, the court was merely providing legal cover for NSA for something they were illegally doing before, and will continue doing with our without the court’s approval. This is not oversight. This is rubber stamping government crimes.

PRISM gets its name from the physical prism lens device that is placed on fiber optic cables in order to split each signal into two identical streams—one that goes to the original destination and the other to the NSA computers. Under the PRISM program, the NSA collects information from all fiber optic communications including internet data and domestic and transatlantic phone calls on trunk lines.

Intelligence analysts already say that suspects of terror within the Middle East and Europe have started using better code words to mask their intentions or have dropped off of Facebook, Skype and Twitter altogether. But the NSA is counting on the fact that no one can operate without digital communications nowadays, so they feel the fallout will be temporary.

Meanwhile, we are getting to see who’s a shill for government by who comes out and defends this total surveillance system in the name of protecting us from terror. The two worst Republican neocons in the Senate, Peter King (NY) and Lindsey Graham (SC) are still up front defending the spying. And it also doesn’t help the cause of privacy when members of the Senate in charge of overseeing government surveillance act as shills for government.

Anti-gun Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, tried to excuse the government’s going beyond its terror fighting mandate by citing as an example that suggested the NSA surveillance had a roll in “slowing down Iran’s nuclear program,” implying that it’s good the NSA goes beyond its limited mandate. Then she dutifully parrots what intelligence officials tell Congress in their secret oversight meetings—that the NSA “can look at the domestic calling data only if there is a reason to suspect it is actually related to Al Qaeda or to Iran… The vast majority of the records in the database are never accessed and are deleted after a period of five years. To look at or use the content of a call, a court warrant must be obtained.”

In reality, this is not true. All the data is sifted and sorted by huge supercomputers, some in real time, others after the fact. The FISA court warrant-seeking process is only done when the government wants to have the legal backing to make one of their high profile terror prosecutions. In other words, it’s legally justifying a case after the facts are gleaned illegally.

[…]

Hiding the best stuff: Wired.com also noted that neither the Guardian nor the Washington Post (who both got Snowden’s material) are revealing all:

Only five slides from the presentation have been published. The other 36 remain a mystery. Both the Guardian’s Glenn Greenwald and the Post’ s Barton Gellman have made it clear that the rest of the PowerPoint is dynamite stuff … which we’re not going to be seeing any time soon.

That’s the same problem with Wikileaks. Julian Assange made a deal with the mainstream media to allow them to sort and selectively decided what to give the public out of the leaked information. All of the really juicy secret black operations stuff is always edited out.

In summary, I feel this revelation on total surveillance by government should have been the straw that breaks the camel’s back and finally convinced people that government is simply lying to them and that the entire system is corrupt and controlled. But so far, it’s business as usual for most people, so what little hope I had in America waking up is dying.

[…]

Sadly, no more will come of such a committee investigation than the Church committee investigation of the CIA—except to bring a little more light on the subject. Sadly, I don’t think we are going to turn this around.

Verizon/NSA Scandal Only Tip of the Iceberg

Bilderberg Group Meeting this Week

[…]

BILDERBERG GROUP MEETING THIS WEEK

Now that veteran Bilderberg watcher Jim Tucker is dead, no one has been as good at penetrating the organization for clues about what they are up to. It’s rather ironic that none of the US papers will cover the Bilderberg conference—no surprise there, as we see below in the list of attendees, the Washington Post has always been one of the secret and silent conspirators to this globalist outfit. . The UK Guardian and Telegraph do cover it, but in a positive light.

This piece for the Guardian, was written by Guardian staff writer Charlie Skelton, an admitted “fan of Bilderberg since 2009.” I print his view only to demonstrate how Lenin’s “useful idiots” are still alive and well in society, promoting liberty’s destruction, while thinking things are quite wonderful in our global world.

On Thursday afternoon, a heady mix of politicians, bank bosses, billionaires, chief executives and European royalty will swoop up the elegant drive of the Grove hotel, north of Watford, to begin the annual Bilderberg conference.

It’s a remarkable spectacle – one of nature’s wonders [a description only a man in awe of globalist power could make]. The area round the hotel is in lockdown: locals are having to show their passports to get to their homes [totally illegal to require this]. It’s exciting too for the delegates. The CEO of Royal Dutch Shell will hop from his limo, delighted to be spending three solid days in policy talks with the head of HSBC, the president of Dow Chemical, his favorite European finance ministers and US intelligence chiefs. The conference is the highlight of every plutocrat’s year and has been since 1954. The only time Bilderberg skipped a year was 1976, after the group’s founding chairman, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, was caught taking bribes from Lockheed Martin.

It may seem odd, as our own lobbying scandal unfolds, amid calls for a statutory register of lobbyists, that a bunch of our senior politicians will be holed up for three days in luxurious privacy with the chairmen and CEOs of hedge funds, tech corporations and vast multinational holding companies, with zero press oversight.

Of course, being a fan, he isn’t bothered—only wonders.

“It runs contrary to [George] Osborne’s public commitment in 2010 to ‘the most radical transparency agenda the country has ever seen’,” says Michael Meacher MP. Meacher describes the conference as “an anti-democratic cabal of the leaders of western market capitalism meeting in private to maintain their own power and influence outside the reach of public scrutiny”.

[One would hope the following is said tongue in cheek but I doubt it.] But, to be fair, is “public scrutiny” really necessary when our politicians are tucked safely away with so many responsible members of JP Morgan’s international advisory board? There’s always the group chief executive of BP on hand to make sure they do not get unduly lobbied. And if he is not in the room, keeping an eye out, then at least one of the chairmen of Novartis, Zurich Insurance, Fiat or Goldman Sachs International will be around.

This year, there will be a great deal more “public scrutiny” of Bilderberg. Pressure from journalists and activists has won concessions from the venue: for the first time in 59 years there will be an unofficial press office, staffed by volunteers, on the grounds. Several thousand activists and bloggers are expected, along with photographers and journalists from around the world.

But this is a charade, done to give the appearance of openness without any access at all close up. As Paul Joseph Watson of Infowars.com wrote,

[Charlie Skelton’s full London Guardian article can be read here – editor]

Skelton continues by at least noting the prior hostile manner in which uninvited journalists and protestors were handled:

Back in 2009 there were barely a dozen witnesses – harassed and arrested by heavy-handed Greek police.

And then, the issue of money. In prior years, taxpayers have picked up the outrageous tab for these outings. Now, Bilderberg has put on the veil of a charity deception, per The Guardian.

If you’ve been wondering who picks up the tab […]

And guess who is paying for these tax deductible contributions to this global conspiracy of power?

Fortunately, the charity receives regular five-figure sums from two kindly supporters of its benevolent [?] aims: Goldman Sachs and BP. The most recent documentary proof of this is from 2008, since then the charity has omitted its donors’ names from its accounts.

The charity’s goal is “public education“. And how does it go about educating the public? “In furtherance of these objectives the International Steering Committee organizes conferences and meetings in the UK and elsewhere and disseminates the results thereof by preparing and publishing reports of such conferences and meetings and by other means.” Cleverly, it disseminates the results by resolutely keeping them away from the public and press.

Even George Orwell (author of 1984) couldn’t have conceived of such an audacious lie—which is only possible with the collusion of the courts, who allow them to get away with anything.

Google-Berg? An Aspect of this growing collusion between globalists and business leaders was revealed in a recent article by Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones at Infowars.com. It involves the participation of Google’s executive chairman (and CEO of Google until 2011), Eric Schmidt, at Bilderberg and the appearance that he is linking his annual international Tech conference to the annual Bilderberg meeting so that Bilderberg can more easily integrate its influence with Google’s.

Put simply, Bilderberg is merging with Google under the stewardship of Google CEO Eric Schmidt, a regular Bilderberg attendee. Google’s annual Zeitgeist conference […]

There is something to this, given Schmidt’s Bilderberg background, but the Zeitgeist Conference is never going to be behind closed doors like Bilderberg. Its speeches and talks are published openly and the press is allowed. I suspect, however, that the closeness this year of both conferences is done to help more Tech leaders feel honored by being allowed into the presence of the globalists in order to lure more high tech CEOs into the globalist conspiracy.

But there is no doubt that Alex Jones is right about Google becoming the leader in the globalist’s goal of linking and controlling the internet. Google is a part of that all-surveillance society being constructed by the globalists, and it harkens back to the fact that a big chunk of Google’s seed money came from the CIA. Here’s other evidence that is surfacing, according to the American Free Press:

The top-secret US National Security Agency is not required to reveal any deal it may have with Google to help protect against cyber attacks, an appeals court ruled Friday. The US Court of Appeals in Washington upheld a lower court decision that said the NSA need not confirm or deny any relationship with Google.

Ostensibly, this case grew out of Chinese spying on Gmail accounts, so it is possible that the secrecy order was aimed at protecting China from embarrassment, which is a globalist policy. Google went along. Jason Ditz of Antiwar.com also found out that Google privately backs the intrusive bill that gives government power to control the internet under the pretext of protect us from copyright infringement (CISPA).

After Google played a central role rallying the public against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), the House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Mike Rogers (R – MI) claims that Google is secretly supporting the bill many are calling “SOPA 2.”

“They’ve been helpful and supportive of trying to find the right language in the bill,” Rogers said of Google, which declined to comment on the new bill called the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA). The bill aims primarily at the sharing of private information, empowering the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to collect data from private companies on anything they decide is a “cyber threat.”

If Google wants to claim it is against government intrusion, their recent fight with the FBI over warrantless demands for customer data could be used. According to the AP

A federal judge has ruled that Google Inc. must comply with the FBI’s warrantless demands for customer data, rejecting the company’s argument that the government’s practice of issuing so-called national security letters to telecommunication companies, Internet service providers, banks and others was unconstitutional and unnecessary.

But it could also be that this “fight” was feigned with the courts (who are shills for government) to give Google the appearance of being “forced” to comply with something they have been doing for years. It’s no secret that Google records everything, even though Schmidt recently claimed on an interview that it erases everyone’s data when older than 18 months. No proof was offered, however, that that is being done, and I very much doubt it is.

In short, the leaders behind Bilderberg surely would like other tech leaders to voluntarily come their way. As I have said in years past, Bilderberg is a kind of leadership training conference for globalists. They don’t make globalist policies there (those are done in other meetings prior to Bilderberg) but they sell those policies there, and test the receptivity of new and up-and-coming leaders and politicians that are invited to attend.

The Bilderberg’s publish a list of attendees, but there are many others that attend in secret and don’t want their name associated with it—politicians in particular. Still, the list is telling. Notice the depth of power brokers involved in this list of the prominent people attending this year. They come from major universities, the media, big business, and government service. The list is very long and not all of them are prominent in outward leadership, so I don’t cover them all. Some of the lesser known are being cultivated for future high elected office. I list the prominent ones that are already influencing governments, education, business or policy on behalf of globalism:

However, the most important thing is to track how other members of the globalist conspiracy, who don’t necessarily attend Bilderberg control government policy. Members of the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is where the real policy control lies. The August Forecast and Review provided this view of the Obama administration:

Trilateral Commission Continues to Dominate Obama: The position of National Security Adviser acts like a gate keeper to the President [informally, he or she is referred to as the President’s handler—especially on foreign policy. The only exception is when George W. Bush was president. Dick Cheney, his VP, was his handler]. This fact has never been lost on the Trilateral Commission, where Zbigniew Brzezinski was National Security Adviser to President Jimmy Carter in 1976. Brzezinski choreographed Carter‘s every move, even bragging about it years later.

When it comes to national security issues (overseas and domestic), nothing reaches the President’s eyes or ears without being filtered and screened by his Adviser. You can imagine possibility for manipulation if the NSA has a secret agenda to use the President in order to promote goals favorable to the membership of a private organization.

When Obama first took office, he appointed 12 percent of the U.S. Trilateral Commission membership to top posts. Three of these posts related to national security:

National Security Adviser, Gen. James L. Jones

Deputy National Security Adviser, Thomas Donilon [now, the current NS Advisor]

Director of National Intelligence, Admiral Dennis C. Blair

When Jones stepped down in October 2010, Trilateral Thomas Donilon was promoted to National Security Adviser, where he has served until he announced his resignation today.

Alas, that is not the end of Trilateral Commission hegemony over Obama. His new appointee? None other than Susan Rice, also a member of the Trilateral Commission. […]

The old guard Trilaterals such as Zbigniew Brzezinski, David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger, are certainly gloating over the unrestrained ignorance of the American public. After all, Trilaterals have dominated and controlled every president since Jimmy Carter in 1976. Walter Mondale, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Dick Cheney were all members, and loaded their respective high-level positions with other Trilaterals. [all other earlier presidents going back as far as Woodrow Wilson were controlled by one or more handlers as detailed in prior briefs, even though the National Security Advisor position was not in existence]. […]

The globalists certainly know how to use every angle to keep their works of darkness a secret. [END]

ADAM KOKESH ARRESTED AND CHARGED BY FEDS

Adam Kokesh, the tough talking former Marine Corporal, who says he is going to organize an armed but peaceful march on Washington DC where guns are banned, got arrested this week after leading a marijuana protest at a federal park in Philadelphia, PA.

Kokesh was looking for trouble and he got it in spades. There was a dramatic countdown on a bullhorn announcing the moment some of the protestors would light up a joint. Kokesh did not and yet he was still arrested. Go figure.

The federal park police arrested Kokesh and charged him falsely with resisting arrest and assaulting a federal officer, which was totally untrue according to dozens of witnesses. I’m sure they’ve got a corrupt judge in Philly who will keep the defense from making the most of this. In addition, Kokesh was denied a phone call in order to communicate with his lawyer—something accorded all common criminals.

In my opinion, Kokesh is too unprepared to enter this world of civil disobedience. If you are intending to get yourself arrested, you want to make sure you are wired for sound, broadcasting everything the police yell at you, to others who can record it. That way when they search you and destroy your microphone, you’ve still got the goods on them.

Second, Kokesh should have made sure there were cameras filming every second of the agent’s approach to prove the assault charge false. At the rally, there were numerous cameras filming around the periphery, but they could not see the initial contact. Kokesh was seen being hauled away peaceably with arms outstretched—not resisting, but trying to keep his balance. Unwisely, he kept calling the police criminals on his microphone—which he shouldn’t have done even if true. It’s important to maintain the image as victim, not provocateur.

To make the maximum impact with the public about federal injustice, one needs to be more careful in what you say and how your record the event. The proper thing to do is simply announce your intentions to comply and tell the audience or recording device what is happening and what the police are doing to you—so your mic can pick it up. That’s good evidence later in court.

This incident makes me wonder about Kokesh’s suitability to lead. He chooses causes and venues that have little chance of gaining public support and doesn’t have the finesse to gain public sympathy. His rights have been violated so we need to support his exoneration, but I would stay away from any movement he sponsors.

Part 2 is where the meat is in this interview. Joel discusses China/Russia’s strategy for U.S. takeover in as little as 8-10 years.

1) China/Russia will shut down America through an EMP strike

2) 20 minutes later, they’ll decapitate the U.S. military through nuclear strikes

3) Then they’ll issue the blackmail notice and fully take over

4) China will attack and take out Russia?

5) “The Lord is going to drive people together”

The globalists don’t totally, directly control China and Russia. They’re manipulating them through various means.

“They’re still 8-10 years out about [having the] the confidence to strike the west. And that’s why I don’t think it’s imminent.” – Joel Skousen

MORE ON DEATH OF SEAL TEAM SIX IN AFGHANISTAN

The official story that members of SEAL Team 6 were killed in a reserve helicopter crash in Afghanistan just has too many inconsistencies to be accepted by those who know military operations. As I have pointed out before, the SEALs have their own dedicated helos and don’t travel in Reserve helicopters. Second, there is always a manifest when taking off from a regular base. As the Washington Times points out, families of the victims are contesting the government version

The spokesman (for the families) noted that the official investigation “found that the tactics employed in the mission were consistent with previous missions.”

“It was not a thorough investigation. It’s a shame that we as parents have to demand a congressional investigation to find out answers.” The families noted that Afghan security forces were closely involved in planning the mission, yet no one appears as having been interviewed in the military’s official investigative records given to relatives.

Based on investigative documents, which U.S. Central Command later erased from its website, The Times revealed that special operators were uncomfortable flying with conventional National Guard flight crews, who ferried the SEALs that night.

One of the fathers (Mr. Strange) said “To put my son in the most elite SEAL team in the world in a Chinook helicopter over an active battle that’s been going on for over 3½ hours — unacceptable. Unacceptable,” Mr. Strange said. “Somebody has to answer for this.”

The family members suggested that these insiders leaked information about the mission to the Taliban, given the fact that the enemy happened to be stationed near the landing zone on a roof with rocket-propelled grenades.

“[They] were positioned in a tower in a building at the perfect place and the exact time to launch an attack on the CH-47 when it was most vulnerable,” said Doug Hamburger, father of Army National Guard Sgt. Patrick Hamburger, a gunner and flight engineer. “How can anyone justify putting our troops in that type of danger?

The Times also reported that Apache gunships could have gone to the landing zone to provide protection, but they were never ordered to do so and stayed involved hunting the Taliban, who had run into some woods. A Ranger officer told investigators that he could not explain why the choppers were not ordered to cover for the incoming Chinook.

Investigators also were told that special operations helicopters were moved out of their region, which included the Tangi Valley just south of Kabul, and moved farther south. Officers said they were never told why.

As I pointed out in the briefs, the evidence of direct witnesses to the raid on the claimed bin Laden compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan say only one chopper landed and it crashed and burned when leaving, killing all aboard. I concluded that the raid was a set up to fake bin Laden’s death (having died years before) to boost Obama’s popularity. Seal Team Six members on the raid died there, so another helicopter crash was planned in Afghanistan which the military could claim had these same members were on board—thus allowing them to explain to parents why their sons wouldn’t be coming home, but without admitting that they actually died in the bin laden raid crash. That is why the Army is claiming there was no passenger manifest—they weren’t really on board and everyone else on board died, so no one can dispute it. Slick, and very evil.

[ audio | text ] Joel Skousen: China Aggressiveness Continues in the Face of US Concessions — “This MAJOR WORLD WAR is still 8-10 years away”

“China, according to the Pentagon report, will likely build several indigenous aircraft carriers, now, over the next 15 years. These kinds of estimates are what make me believe this major world war is still 8-10 years away. They won’t necessarily have to wait the full 15 years before they’ve got a full blue water navy, but they certainly got to get a lot more than what they have now.”

CHINA AGGRESSIVENESS CONTINUES IN THE FACE OF US CONCESSIONS

China always gives the impression that it is a broker for peace in North Korea. Bill Gertz, America’s foremost China watcher wrote this week:

The clearest example of Chinese influence on Pyongyang was the latest report by U.S. intelligence agencies, indicating that two road-mobile Musudan intermediate-range ballistic missiles that had been readied for test launch on North Korea’s east coast were removed recently.

But at what price in concessions?

[US Sec. Of State] Mr. Kerry brought a carrot that Beijing apparently found hard to resist. He offered to cancel the planned deployment of 14 additional ground-based interceptors at U.S. missile defense bases in Alaska and California if China did more to stifle North Korean bellicosity. The deployments were announced recently in response to North Korean missile threats.

The deployment of such extra Anti-ballistic missiles (somewhat ineffective without any warheads) always makes Americans think they are protected. But the US doesn’t really intend to defend America against a massive nuclear strike. The various ABM systems the US has deployed are probably capable of interdicting a few missiles, but not the volley of thousands China and Russia are preparing for some future time.

Mr. Kerry’s accommodation of China in standing down the extra ABM deployment, is par for the course in US-NK relationships—always backing down from the toughest sanctions any time NK offers even the most minuscule retreat. Compare that to the US treatment of Iran where the US will eventually attack a much less aggressive nation with no proven nuclear weapons capacity.

Meanwhile, China continues developing its military and projecting power in the China Sea. James Dunnigan reports that,

More and more Filipino fishermen are complaining to the government that they are being chased away from their traditional fishing areas off the Filipino coast by Chinese coast guard ships. This is particularly bad at Scarborough Shoal. This is in violation of a deal made last June with the Chinese. Not only did Chinese patrol boats soon return to Scarborough Shoal but Chinese fishing boats are again operating there and even erected a flimsy barrier (with rowboats, rope, and fishing nets) across the entrance to the lagoon and forcibly preventing Filipino fishing boats from entering. Scarborough Shoal is in waters the Philippines claim (according to international law).

The shoal is only 250 kilometers from the Philippines and 1,200 kilometers from China. Despite this, China claims ownership of Scarborough Shoal but has not yet used deadly force to assert that claim. What China is apparently doing is sending patrol boats from their fishery protection service to “protect their fishermen.” According to China they are in compliance with the June deal, as they never agreed that Chinese fishing boats could not operate around Scarborough Shoal. The Philippines does not agree but has refrained from sending warships to the shoal and chasing the Chinese fishing boats away. To Filipinos this is another example of China saying one thing and doing another.

This is typical of how China muscles in on weaker nations. The US is currently pressuring the Philippines not to engage Chinese patrol boats, but this permissiveness will only embolden China until someday even US force won’t be enough to defend Philippine claims without it leading to war.

Meanwhile, China continues its military buildup on all fronts—army, naval and air forces—in anticipation of the inevitable (to them) confrontation with the West. This year’s annual Pentagon report to Congress on Chinese military modernization for 2013 has many more details than last year. It doesn’t tell all, but the growth and sophistication of China’s military modernization is ominous.

Naturally, China is using a variety of espionage techniques to accelerate its acquisition of US military technology:

a) industrial espionage (front companies that order military grade parts from around the world),

b) educational (the US foolishly allows thousands of Chinese students to study at major technical universities) and

c) economic espionage (requiring companies who build parts in China to share their technology). –all this hoping to cut its reliance on foreign arms makers, even Russian arms, which provided China its first high tech weapons.

Bill Gertz of the Washington Free Beacon summarizes much of the report:

China is building two new classes of missile submarines in addition to the eight nuclear missile submarines and six attack submarines being deployed as part of an arms buildup that analysts say appears to put Beijing on a war footing… China has yet to conduct an underwater test firing of its submarine-launched missiles but is deploying new missile submarines and planning advanced versions.

The Pentagon’s latest annual report to Congress also includes new details of China’s deployment of an aircraft carrier-killing ballistic missile, two new stealth jet fighters, and a new road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile in addition to three other new ICBMs.

The Chinese military is also developing cyber warfare capabilities that can be used in preemptive attacks, the 92-page report states. Of particular concern to the Pentagon is the deployment near Taiwan of a precision-guided DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missile, according to the report.

“We’re concerned about the ability of China to develop missiles that can project its military power with precision at great distances from China—obviously something that can hold at risk large surface ships, including aircraft carriers, is something that we pay attention to, but we put it in the context of a number of China’s military developments, again, that we characterize as anti-access and area denial,” However, [the Pentagon report] noted that no single weapons system is the problem. Instead, he said, “it’s the integration and overlapping nature of these weapons system into a regime that can potentially impede or restrict free military operations in the Western Pacific.”

Additionally, the report confirms, China is building a new road-mobile ICBM that is likely capable of being armed with a multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle (MIRV)… New road mobile missiles deployed in recent years include DF-31 and DF-31A mobile ICBMs and the JL-2 submarine-launched ballistic missile. The DF-31A has a range of about 7,000 miles.

“This administration is reluctant to just come out and say it [covering for the Chinese threat], but this report makes clear that China is preparing for small-scale and then large-scale wars against the United States and its friends and allies,” said Richard Fisher, a China military analyst with the International Assessment and Strategy Center.

Beijing is also rapidly building new radar-evading stealth fighter-bombers known as the J-20 and J-31… the Pentagon does not expect either the J-20 or the J-31 “to achieve an effective operational capability before 2018.” The first test flight of the J-20 took place two years ago and surprised the U.S. military. It was tested during the visit of then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who was criticized for canceling F-22 production.

The full report can be read here: http://www.defense.gov/pubs/2013_China_Report_FINAL.pdf

The US has been systematically disarming or limiting arms capable of combating a traditional two ocean world war threat, while wasting most of our military resources on Middle East intervention. The US will regret the limiting of the F-22 now that the F-35 replacement has been shown to be way too costly and filled with technical problems.

China’s surface naval forces are also expanding rapidly with deployment of several new types of warships, including the first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning… the carrier conducted its first aircraft launch and recovery operations in November with J-15 fighters… [and] will spend the next three to four years on training and integration before achieving an operationally effective aircraft carrier capability… China will likely build several indigenous aircraft carriers over the next 15 years.

These kinds of estimates are what make me believe this major world war is still 8-10 years away.

The report also discusses China’s assertions of territorial and maritime claims that are upsetting stability in the region… China is claiming most of the South China Sea as its territory and is disputing Japan’s claims to the Senkaku Islands. Both areas are said to have large deposits of undersea gas and oil to which energy-hungry states in the region seek access.

China’s government routinely protests the annual report, claiming it is part of a Pentagon campaign to hype the threat from China.

Fisher, the IASC military analyst, said the latest report is far more useful than the truncated 43-page report from 2012. “The first ever report disclosure of development of the Type 096 SSBN raises the prospect of a new submarine launched missile that also may be multiple warhead capable,” Fisher said. “As the Administration presses for additional reductions in U.S. nuclear warhead levels and shows reluctance to fund U.S. nuclear arsenal modernization, it is doubly important that Congress be informed about the size and growth of China’s nuclear forces.”

Fisher said the report failed to address China’s transfer of strategic missile technology to North Korea, specifically the transporter-erector launchers for Pyongyang’s new KN-08 road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile disclosed for the first time during a military parade in April 2012.

“A failure to chastise and sanction China’s action will only serve to undermine confidence in American security guarantees and increase interest by our allies in their own nuclear deterrents,” he said.

All of the last comments reinforce my view that the US is intentionally downplaying the China threat. Incredibly, the chief of naval operations told Congress on Tuesday that he is vigilant of, but not worried by, China’s large-scale naval buildup, including the Pentagon’s disclosure on Monday that Beijing is building two new classes of missile submarines. That’s what happens when you purge out all the Pattons and MacArthurs from the military and advance only yes-men.

It must be also noted that the Pentagon doesn’t even put out a similar threat paper on Russian nuclear forces which are well ahead in numbers and quantity than the Chinese. That is a crucial omission, and has been going on for decades.

What is gained by downplaying the threat of Russia and China? It keeps the American public ignorant of the real threats. By not alerting us to the future danger it makes sure Americans don’t demand a change in our military strategy and posture, or prepare themselves for the war the government knows is coming. That’s the reason our government is building deep underground bunker systems. We need to start focusing on the real global threats, not simply the Muslim threat—which is largely manufactured and exacerbated by the phony war on terror. This is no harmless diversion. It is a deadly time to be asleep and passive.

PENTAGON TRYING TO PROSECUTE CHRISTIANS FOR PROSELYTIZING

The Pentagon has released a statement saying that soldiers could be prosecuted for promoting their faith. This is a tricky issue with a lot of repercussions surrounding free speech. Can a person say anything about his religion without it being interpreted as proselyting? Here’s the commentary by Ken Klukowski:

“Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense…Court martials and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis…”. The statement, released to Fox News, follows a Breitbart News report on Obama administration Pentagon appointees meeting with anti-Christian extremist Mikey Weinstein to develop court-martial procedures to punish Christians in the military who express or share their faith.

Weinstein is the head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and says Christians, including chaplains, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ in the military are guilty of “treason,” and of committing an act of “spiritual rape” as serious a crime as “sexual assault.” He also asserted that Christians sharing their faith in the military are “enemies of the Constitution.”

This is an incredible and distorted position. Certainly conversions by threat or force would be counter to freedom and the Constitution, but voluntary expressions of faith? The military could rightfully ban certain religious or any non-germane conversations during official working hours, but the military now looks as if they want to control a person’s time and conversation even off duty. It seems the Pentagon wants to silence all religious opinions.

This regulation would severely limit expressions of faith in the military, even on a one-to-one basis between close friends. It could also effectively abolish the position of chaplain in the military, as it would not allow chaplains (or any service members, for that matter), to say anything about their faith that others say led them to think they were being encouraged to make faith part of their life. It’s difficult to imagine how a member of the clergy could give spiritual counseling without saying anything that might be perceived in that fashion.

In response to the Pentagon’s plans, retired Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin, who is now executive vice president of the Family Research Council (FRC), said on Fox & Friends Wednesday morning:

It’s a matter of what do they mean by “proselytizing.” …I think they’ve got their definitions a little confused. If you’re talking about coercion that’s one thing, but if you’re talking about the free exercise of our faith as individual soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines, especially for the chaplains, [then] I think the worst thing we can do is stop the ability for a soldier to be able to exercise his faith.”

So President Barack Obama’s civilian appointees who lead the Pentagon are confirming that the military will make it a crime–possibly resulting in imprisonment–for those in uniform to share their faith. This would include chaplains—military officers who are ordained clergymen of their faith (mostly Christian pastors or priests, or Jewish rabbis)–whose duty since the founding of the U.S. military under George Washington is to teach their faith and minister to the spiritual needs of troops who come to them for counsel, instruction, or comfort.

Part of this policy change may also be aimed at giving the military one more prosecution tool to stop Christians from speaking out against gays in the military.

MORE ON BOSTON MARATHON BOMBING

Three friends of the accused bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, were arrested for obstruction of justice (hiding evidence from police or lying to protect their friend) this week. One of the boys, according to the feds, did say that Dzhokhar had bragged about knowing how to build a bomb. That is probably true, given how easy it is to purchase large fireworks and build pipe bombs, but it doesn’t change the fact that most of the evidence shows that whatever explosives the two brothers had in their packs that day, the bulge of the pack wasn’t big enough to conceal a pressure cooker. In addition, the colors of the packs they were wearing don’t match the remnants of the single exploded back pack the government has as evidence. What about the other explosion?

One of the most interesting pieces of evidence that has surfaced indicates that the other explosion was NOT a backpack on the ground but placed higher up on a building where a jumbotron big screen TV was attached. Here’s the Fox News live feed and interview: Fox Feed

At 6:45, 7:09 minutes into the video, Maria Stephanos (a Fox News reporter) said the explosion she saw came from the side of a building, higher up on the wall right where a Jumbotron (Big Screen TV) was installed. At 8:01, she said the explosion looked like it took place halfway up the building and at 8:32, she reiterated that the explosion came from the middle of the building, not at ground level. She was adamant about all this.

This is important because it is the first evidence that places the bomb at a place where neither Tsarnaev brothers could have had access. Nor does it match FBI claims (as yet unbacked by any video proof released) about the activities of the brothers that day. This clue about the second explosion is also important because this Fox video was aired immediately in the aftermath of the attack and none of the other media picked up on it, and even Fox News ignored it during subsequent coverage.

Video evidence and voice recordings of the brothers themselves contradict the claims of the hijacked SUV owner who the Boston Globe claims to have interviewed. Here’s the first interview from the Chinese person who the Boston Globe claims has finally surfaced after the alleged hijacking of his Mercedes SUV. I might add that the Boston Globe is a reliable government mouthpiece and had exclusive access to this person:

The 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur had just pulled his new Mercedes to the curb on Brighton Avenue to answer a text when an old sedan swerved behind him, slamming on the brakes. A man in dark clothes got out and approached the passenger window. It was nearly 11 p.m. last Thursday.

The man rapped on the glass, speaking quickly. Danny [not his real name], unable to hear him, lowered the window — and the man reached an arm through, unlocked the door, and climbed in, brandishing a silver handgun. “Don’t be stupid,” he told Danny. He asked if he had followed the news about Monday’s Boston Marathon bombings. Danny had, down to the release of the grainy suspect photos less than six hours earlier. “I did that,” said the man, who would later be identified as Tamerlan Tsarnaev. “And I just killed a policeman in Cambridge.”

This is all very convenient to have second-hand confessions from someone who the FBI kept hidden for days and who now emerges but stays in the shadows of a pseudonym. Why the fear to come forward openly? His claimed version is at variance with the boys own protestations when surrounded by police. Paul Joseph Watson had the story at infowars.com

Video footage from the scene of the shootout with the alleged Boston bombers appears to contain audio of the suspects screaming out, “We didn’t do it!” as police fire on the two brothers.

Although by no means clear, the words below appear to be shouted by the suspects as they come under police gunfire.

– 24 seconds: “chill out”

– 26 seconds: “chill out”, “chill out”

– 31 seconds: “chill out”

– 37 seconds: “we didn’t do it”

– 41 seconds: “we didn’t do it”

– 45 seconds: “we didn’t do it”

– 1 minute 9 seconds: “hey officer”

Despite being described as a “shootout,” the audio suggests that shots are only being fired in one direction by police and that the brothers are not returning fire at this point in the exchange.

I still think the boys were involved in some portion of the bombing plot, at least as far as being instructed on how to make rudimentary explosives, but the evidence is far from conclusive that the actual bombs that went off were both placed by them. It still looks like they were part of a larger plot—and simply set up to take the fall, while the others, protected by government’s exclusive focus on these two, are allowed to escape.

It is also strange that the police immediately blamed the killing of the MIT policeman on the Tsarnaev brothers. They have no witnesses to the murder and have presented no ballistics matching the one weapon in the brother’s possession. No charges have been filed weeks after the bombing. How long does it take to get a bullet match?

The Military style clearing of a house in Watertown, MA is an object lesson in how easy it is to cower people into submission when government exaggerates an emergency and starts using military tactics—no warrant, no asking permission—just demands for compliance at the point of a gun. The police forced all 8 residents including 2 women to exit with hands up at gun point, while constantly issuing threatening words and brooking no questions or protestations. They were demanding instant compliance. House Clearing

Former Congressman Ron Paul lambasted the Boston Police for Police State tactics. “The Boston bombing provided the opportunity for the government to turn what should have been a police investigation into a military-style occupation of an American city.”

After seeing the video, I completely agree. Every patriotic American ought to make plans to relocate out of any large city that trains and operates as a militarized police force, ready to push citizens around without cause or warrant, and without any sense of duty to protect a citizen’s civil rights. Steve Watson from Infowars.com had these comments:

People think because these men in uniforms show up on their porch that they have to obey, that they have no right to refuse or any legal leg to stand on. Nothing could be further from the truth, but who is going to tell them? Not the police. If you stand up to them they will beat you. It’s going on all over America all the time, but you’ll only see it or hear about it in the alternative news or videos.

The story floated in the mainstream media that the door to door searches were conducted with the voluntary consent of the residents of Watertown is clearly false. 9000+ Police locked down an entire city and went in with full force, with armored vehicles and combat gear, all to search for an injured 19 year old kid who turned out to be cowering in someone’s back yard.

Katy Waldman of Slate wrote an article claiming that under dire circumstances police can suspend 4th Amendment rights against unreasonable searches:

In exigent circumstances, or emergency situations, police can conduct warrantless searches to protect public safety. This exception to the Fourth Amendment’s probable cause requirement normally addresses situations of “hot pursuit,” in which an escaping suspect is tracked to a private home. But it might also apply to the events unfolding in Boston if further harm or injury might be supposed to occur in the time it takes to secure a warrant.

This activity, once again, sets a shocking precedent. Police and military are training in these circumstances every single day of the year. They are fully acclimatized to the process, as if it is completely normal. They do not hesitate in carrying out such orders, which are now being implemented whenever the authorities deem a situation to be an emergency.

According to Israeli doctors at Beth Israel Hospital where both bombing suspects were taken, “Dzhokhar Tsarnaev may never speak again.” The younder Tsarnaev brother, 19, was wounded in his throat, according to expatriate Israeli doctor Kevin Ilan Tabb of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Initially, the government claimed this was the result of a suicide attempt, but they’ve stopped claiming that little lie after it became known he was unarmed.

The CIA connection with the uncle: The most interesting new story this week is evidence linking a high level CIA operative, Graham Fuller, with the two suspect’s uncle Ruslan Tsarni. According to the New York Times in 1988, “Mr. Fuller’s name came to public attention last year when it was disclosed that he was the author of a ‘think piece’ circulated in the intelligence community in May 1985 suggesting the possibility of pursuing openings in Iran.” That’s mild CIA doublespeak for Fuller being part of the team that put together the illegal arms for hostage deal with the Iranians.

Evidence of this type of connection rarely proves that someone was actually under the control of the agency, but when all the pieces come together, it doesn’t paint a benign picture about Tsarni, his background in Russia, nor his ability to come back and forth to the US after dealing with some very bad people overseas.

The following are the claimed by various internet sites about Ruslan Tsarni and Graham Fuller, a high level CIA operative:

1) Tsarni was married to the daughter of CIA agent Graham Fuller in 1995.

2) He became an American citizen after the marriage to Fuller’s daughter, then divorced her.

3) Tsarni didn’t speak English very well back then. Fuller says he also spoke in Russian to him all the time back then. [which raises the question of how did the daughter communicate enough to marry him?]

4) Ruslan Tsarni’s listed residential address that of a home owned by Fuller—but Fuller wasn’t living there at the time

5) Tsarni filed incorporation papers for the Congress of Chechen International Organizations at his father-in-laws address, in 1995, right after “marrying” his daughter -which ended up being just for citizenship, as it didn’t last.

6) The Congress of Chechen International Organizations is a terrorist organization that let in a known terrorist, who went on to lead organization for rebels in Chechen,

There are errors in these claims: In reality, the marriage lasted for 3 years, so it may not have been a marriage only to provide citizenship for Tsarni, though that was certainly a part of it. The length they stayed together may be related to the CIA connection with the father.

The claim about the Congress of Chechen International Organizations connection is problematic for a couple of reasons. Connecting a single listed terrorist with an organization may simply be a reflection that this is a CIA front group providing false leads for future terror acts they want to blame on Chechnya. The Russians did that a lot when Chechnya was being blamed for attacks on Moscow apartments which were actually done by the KGB/FSB.

And then there is other data showing that the U.S.-based Congress of Chechen International Organizations was created in 1995 by Mohammed Shashani, a former professor of Pittsburgh University and an ethnic Chechen—not Tsarni. Something is amiss here.

But the more interesting article is by Bloomberg showing Ruslan’s shady past—perfect material for CIA black operations:

The uncle of the suspects in last week’s Boston Marathon bombing told a London court in 2010 that Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev had overseen the theft of state assets worth billions of dollars.

Ruslan Tsarni, who is from Kyrgyzstan, the former Soviet republic to the south of Kazakhstan, worked “in various capacities” with a closely knit network of associates led by Nazarbayev’s son-in-law [Ablyazov] from 2000 to 2008 that regularly engaged in fraudulent business practices, he said in a witness statement to the High Court in London in December 2010…

In his witness statement in defense of Ablyazov, Tsarni said Nazarbayev gave his “blessing” and protection to the group that rigged auctions of state assets, seized banks to sell for a fraction of their value to pre-determined buyers, and engaged in tax fraud and money laundering.

Comment: This is all pretty unusual for a common guy. After leaving America and Fuller’s daughter, he immediately gets involved with President Nursultan, his son-in-law and various shady associates in a deal that involves billions of dollars, and winds up testifying in a high profile London court case. They he simply waltzes back into the US, no problem.

However, the CIA monitors all these kinds of activities overseas. Are we to believe that Tsarni comes back into the US without the CIA monitoring his every move or tagging him as a person with unsavory connections? I doubt it, unless he’s already working for them.

Believe me, when a high level CIA operative like Graham Fuller (who helped initiate the Iran Contra arms deal with Iran) lets his daughter do a marriage of convenience with a foreign asset, there’s more to the story than love—and the relationship with the family doesn’t seem to end even after the marriage dissolves.

This whole story takes on even more significance after uncle Ruslan lashes out at the boys and tries to point the media toward the boys supposed handler who radicalized them—but he conveniently refuses to name the handler, or help the FBI find this source of radicalization. This leads to the suspicion that Tsarni may have been trying to point the media away from his own potential role as the boy’s handler.

Graham Fuller has been questioned about his connection with Tsarni.The UK Dailymail says:

Mr Fuller was forced to explain the relationship today as news of the family link emerged online. Ruslan Tsarni,[used to be Tsarnaev] who publicly denounced his two terrorist nephews’ actions and called them ‘Losers’, even lived with his father-in-law agent Graham Fuller in his Maryland home for a year.

He told Al-Monitor that his daughter, Samantha, was married to Ruslan, whose surname was then Tsarnaev, for three to four years in the 1990s. The couple divorced in 1999 more than ten years after he left the agency in 1987. “they lived in Bishkek for one year where Samantha was working for Price Waterhouse on privatization projects,” Mr Fuller said.

Of course, no one can be sure that a former CIA agent isn’t still employed by the government once he leaves the agency. Anytime a known CIA agent goes undercover as a civilian the process begins by publicly quitting the agency—even when they continue to get paid via other channels.

Price Waterhouse, by the way, is an insider big 3 accounting firm that has carried a lot of water for government black operations, and has, in the opinion of several critics, whitewashed many CIA front company’s books in the name of “national security.”

It is also of interest that Fuller now works for the RAND Corporation, a known CIA front, according to many sources. Paul Joseph Watson filed this report on RAND with Prison Planet.tv in 2010:

Cuban-born journalist and author Alex Abella was allowed exclusive access inside the RAND Corporation to view their archives. What he discovered was a plot driven by scientists, behaviorists, and generals who were intent on starting world war three and fleecing the American people in the process. Once he was a skeptic on the subject of conspiracy theories and the new world order, but after his work with the RAND Corporation he is now convinced that this top secret think tank has been pulling the strings of American government for at least 60 years.

People who don’t understand the conspiracy often come to incorrect conclusions like this—thinking that Rand or the CIA runs the government. It isn’t true. Others, totally unseen, run these secret bureaucracies from somewhere above the level of public government]

Abella charts how RAND started off as an organization centered around building new weapons for the military but ultimately expanded into politics, science, history and economics and was closely allied with the Ford, Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations [all insider-connected foundations promoting globalism and detente with our enemies]. RAND’s decision in the 50’s to re-model the globe towards a new world order [It wasn’t RAND’s decision—they were following orders] changed everything… RAND’s ultimate goal was to have technocrats running every aspect of society in pursuit of a one world government that would be administered under “the rule of reason,”

MARATHON BOMBING UPDATE—ANSWERS LEAD TO MORE QUESTIONS

Due to the mass of amateur photos and videos being used in the moments before, during and after the Boston bombing, there has been more private evidence surrounding this supposed “terrorist” event than almost any previous high-profile catastrophe. Although spectators, runners and other outsiders were quickly pushed away from the scene, the massive investigative power of millions of interested people combing through pictures uploaded to social media and picture-sharing websites produced an impressive array of pictures and video that allowed the public to check police statements as they came in.

As the official version of events emerges from contradictory or outright false statements we are told there is more video and photos that provide “clear” and “chilling” proof against the Tsarnaev brothers. However, unlike the circumstantial clips released of the Chechan brothers, the most important videos are held back, forcing us to rely on the government’s word for it all. Given the constantly changing storyline from earlier statements of fact given by official spokespersons to the media this is not reassuring. Here then is a breakdown of what we know relative to what the government is telling us and the contradictions from publicly available evidence.

1) The marathon explosions

The official indictment (available at this website: http://rapgenius.com/Federal-bureau-of-investigation-charges-against-dzhokhar-tsarnaev-lyrics#lyric) describes the government’s evidence, but only includes the previously released circumstantial video and photographic evidence of the accused brothers near the bomb sites. The details relative to the criminal accusations in the indictment are supposedly backed up by additional video and photos which are described in detailed but this most important evidence is not included. Here is the central part of the narrative:

At approximately 2:42 p.m. (i.e., approximately seven minutes before the first explosion), Bomber One can be seen detaching himself from the crowd and walking east on Boylston Street towards the Marathon finish line. Approximately 15 seconds later, he can be seen passing directly in front of the Forum Restaurant and continuing in the direction of the location where the first explosion occurred. His knapsack is still on his back.

At approximately 2:45 p.m., Bomber Two can be seen detaching himself from the crowd and walking east on Boylston Street toward the Marathon finishing line. He appears to have the thumb of his right hand hooked under the strap of his knapsack and a cell phone in his left hand. Approximately 15 seconds later, he can be seen stopping directly in front of the Forum Restaurant and standing near the metal [barrier along the race route] among numerous spectators, with his back to the camera, facing the runners, He then can be seen apparently slipping his knapsack onto the ground. A photograph taken from the opposite side of the street shows the knapsack on the ground at Bomber Two’s feet.

The Forum Restaurant video shows that Bomber Two remained in the same spot for approximately four minutes, occasionally looking at his cell phone and once appearing to take a picture with it. At some point he appears to look at his phone, which is held at approximately waist level, and may be manipulating the phone. Approximately 30 seconds before the first explosion, he lifts his phone to his ear as if he is speaking on his cell phone, and keeps it there for approximately 18 seconds. A few seconds after he finishes the call, the large crowd of people around him can be seen reacting to the first explosion. Virtually every head turns to the east (towards the finish line) and stares in that direction in apparent bewilderment and alarm. Bomber Two, virtually alone among the individuals in front of the restaurant, appears calm. He glances to the east and then calmly but rapidly begins moving to the west, away from the direction of the finish line. He walks away without his knapsack, having left it on the ground where he had been standing. Approximately 10 seconds later, an explosion occurs in the location where Bomber Two had placed his knapsack.

It seems very suspicious that the FBI would release so many photos and video excerpts (including even partial and grainy shots as if they are presenting everything possible) showing the brothers in the area, but then they fail to produce the most conclusive evidence that matches what the indictment says.

This narrative is so specific that it would be very risky for a federal official to make such detailed reference to video evidence if they did not actually possess it—unless they already had a legal strategy worked out where the claimed evidence would be suppressed under the government’s habitual use of the State Secrets doctrine or via a compliant judge who has agreed in advance to seal the evidence. The suppression of key evidence has been a central part of every major government cover-up including the JFK and Martin Luther King assassinations, Oklahoma City bombing and both WTC attacks.

Here are some of the problems with this part of the official scenario:

The backpack used in the bombing is shown here as part of the crime scene evidence along with the pressure cooker parts (scroll through 5 photos): http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/story/21996004/exclusive-photos-boston-marathon-bomb

Notice the black shoulder straps have lighter strips on them and to of the pack has a white square label. In contrast, the packs of the two brothers (visible here: http://politic365.com/2013/04/18/boston-marathon-bombing-fbi-posts-video-of-two-men-with-backpacks/) don’t match those markings. The pack of the older brother is dark gray without lighter strips on the straps nor a square white label. The pack of the younger brother is completely different—light colored, with some black trim. Neither backpack appears bulging sufficiently to account for pressure cookers which were at least 10 inches in diameter.

The Pressure Cooker Bomb. Yes, this is a common and necessary way to contain the charge of a relatively slow burning explosive like gunpowder. Without such a container the powder would simply burn rapidly without explosive force. It is a commonly available pressure container and there are numerous terrorists that have used them before. There is nothing unique here, other than to note that although this type of explosive device might be built by amateurs, the triggering mechanism are necessarily quite complex. So this primitive type of explosive may have been just to give the appearance that this was the work of amateurs using internet plans.

Authorities believe the bombs used gunpowder extracted from fireworks. A fireworks shop has confirmed from credit card records that Tamerlan purchased two large fireworks for about $400 in New Hampshire and many more fireworks have been found in their apartment or stashed nearby. I’m glad to hear it wasn’t reloading powder from a gun store—which would probably cause legislators to restrict all black powder purchases even further. As it is they’ll have trouble banning all fireworks to cut off this supply source. Still fireworks are an expensive way to get gunpowder—the $400 purchase didn’t even net a half pound of powder according to ABC News.

The Triggering Mechanism: The government’s story has changed 3 times on this crucial issue. First, investigators told the media that a sophisticated triggering mechanism was involved leading them to suspect they were part of a larger terrorist cell with “up to a dozen members.” How they could report that one day and then claim they acted alone the next, I don’t understand.

Then, the story changed to the use of common “hobby fuses.” These are green in color and used on everything from hobby rocket booster motors to large fire crackers. They must be ignited by a match or other very hot glowing source.

Now government investigators tell Congressmen who are part of the intelligence committee (only reliable yes-men are allowed on this committee) that the triggering mechanism was from a radio controlled remote used for toy cars. Let’s analyze this:

First the boys could not have lit the fuses manually. They would have had to have a fuse sticking out of the pressure cooker vent hole, opened their packs and manually ignited the fuse with a match. That would have been too obvious and even the government doesn’t claim they saw any such action on their exclusive video evidence.

Using a clock timer is the next easiest way to set off a bomb of this type for an amateur. Unlike plastic explosives gunpowder doesn’t need a blasting cap—a hot spark will do just fine. And, it is easier to create a spark with a clock timer and appropriate capacitors than to ignite a fuse, which requires a flame or some other miniature hot igniter. Clock timer bomb triggers usually connect to a type of electronic blasting cap, not a fuse. But, the government has insisted twice now that green colored hobby fuses were present in the bombs—probably deduced from the unexploded bombs they claim they found in the boy’s car. This rules out a clock timer because of the difficulty of coupling it to a fuse ignition source.

Compounding the difficulty with the fuses is the government’s claim that the brothers used radio controlled remote controllers common to motorized toys. Crime scene photos showed plastic pieces and a battery that look like something from a toy car or model airplane. Battery powered controllers are used on a variety of remote controlled toys, however we come up with the same objection to clock timers—the inability, or extreme difficulty, to light the fuse. Besides, the official indictment of the government does not match the radio remote type of trigger. No one observed the boys holding a remote control at the time of the explosions.

What the government accusation does claim is that the boys were holding a cell phone to their ear, 18 seconds in one case, until the bomb goes off. That’s a problem too, because all you have to do to trigger a cell phone activator is call the number. You don’t have to be listening to anything. The government seems reluctant to go for the cell phone trigger argument, because that clearly requires expertise in bomb making, but that’s what they are leaving us with. If they want us to believe that the boys coupled a cell phone call to a cell phone trigger that was, in turn, linked to a radio remote control unit which actually triggered the bomb, they are asking us to believe even more—all of this is could only be done by a real expert.

This is the biggest hole in their claim that these bombs were set off by the boys acting alone. And, if they did use these timers, then they had expert help. Personally, I think it was the latter, and is the first clue that government may have been involved. Despite all this, the government is now heading in the direction of claiming the boys acted alone, that they were radicalized alone and that no one else was involved. That I simple cannot believe.

Did the younger bomber flee with his backpack? I initially thought there was one picture that showed the younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, (who had the white hat on backwards) fleeing with his backpack on. I’ve changed my mind on that:

There is a high resolution iPad photo taken by David Green of Jacksonville Florida showing the boy running from the bombing. The lighting in the shadows is poor but we see his elbow to the rear as he runs, covering where the backpack would normally be. When I first saw this photo, brought to everyone’s attention by an amateur investigator prone to hype,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjocGidSLJw it appeared that the elbow going back and to the rear couldn’t be that long and that his backpack might still be visible. However, upon closer examination of an enlargement of the picture, I’m now convinced it only shows the elbow and not the backpack.

Everything from this point on gets murky—filled with contradictory claims between police and federal investigators and eye witnesses to the manhunt and subsequent take-down of the two brothers.

2) Shootout and Apprehension of Suspects

Within hours of the FBI naming two culprits in the Boston bombings while aggressively demanding that no attention be focused on any other potential suspects, the official police narrative said the Tsarnaev brothers robbed a 7-Eleven convenience store, ambushed a police officer on the campus of MIT, carjacked an SUV and then engaged in a high speed chase ending in a deadly shootout with police where Tamerlan and another officer were killed while Dzhokhar escaped and went on the run. A representative from the 7-Eleven chain later contradicted the police and reported that after reviewing all security cameras no robbery took place that night by the bombing suspects—adding to the growing list of contradictions to official statements errors that have never been clarified.

The Watertown police said the suspects set off grenades to try to stop police pursuit and that the stolen vehicle was later found to contain other explosive devices. Much of this information was false and fed to the media by Watertown Police Chief Edward Deveau as he did an on-camera interview with Wolf Blitzer of CNN.

In the battle the Chief claims the boys throw another explosive device at them and that they had various pipe bombs of “improved explosive devices,” making this seem like an Iraqi style terror event. He claims that the police had a raging gun battle with the well armed youths—who police now admit had only one gun between them—and that after several minutes the older brother Tamerlan stepped out from the SUV and started walking toward them shooting as he advanced. This is hard to believe that anyone would walk into a hail of gunfire from multiple police squad cars and not get hit or stopped.

Then the Chief claims that when Tamerlan was out of ammo, the police tackled and handcuffed him. We are supposed to believe one of the officers ran out into the open to do this rather than shoot him dead, disregarding the other brother who had more bombs to through. As a former combat trained Marine, I find it impossible to believe this version of events.

Finally the Chief makes the dramatic and unlikely claim that the younger Tsarnaev brother drove the SUV toward the tackled brother and ran over him as the police dive out of the way. He supposedly drags his brother under the car, killing him and then escapes. The two sources of evidence that we have of that evening contradicts this entire story.

First: A CNN video shows the police arresting a man who looks just like Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The arrested man is made to take off all his clothes to check for bombs, and then put into a squad car. He is later taken out of the car to be photographed and interrogated by another investigator and then told to put his clothes back on. The next day Dan Dicks of Press for Truth television listeners actually hear the voice of the aunt of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, telling Dicks that she is 100% certain that the man in the video is her nephew Tamerlan.

Second: An eyewitness of the shootout comes forward the next day and tells reporters that a police vehicle ran over Tamerlan and then they shot him afterward many times with multiple weapons. The doctor examining the dead older brother says there was not one part of his body not wounded. When you see the picture of his dead body (caution: very graphic image) , http://i.imgur.com/0U0ozqt.jpg you’ll see a huge gaping wound on the side of the chest, that is not explained by gunfire or being hit by a car at fairly slow speeds. One website said that doctors created this opening to help save his life. But others say he was dead long before he got there. I’m not aware of any medical procedure like what is shown, causing a huge jagged hole, cutting across multiple ribs and exposing the whole lung cavity that could possibly have a beneficial medical outcome. This unauthorized picture was taken and circulated by someone in law enforcement gloating over the kill.

It is hard to try to piece together everything that happened that night. So far it seems that the older brother was alive and in the custody of police—and somehow was put back on the street and killed by police in this bizarre and conflicting shootout. Worse, when it was all over the police had to admit, that there was only one semi-auto pistol between both suspects and that was wielded by the older brother. –Some raging gun battle!

Many facts also don’t add up with the final apprehension of Dzhokhar the next evening. Video and eyewitness accounts attest to multiple bursts of gunfire along with flash grenade explosions, but since the boy wasn’t armed the fusillade of bullets aimed at the brother holed up in a parked boat was clearly unjustified.

The official story is that the younger brother exits the boat after being surrounded by police and tries to commit suicide by shooting himself in the mouth but only doing damage to his throat—keeping him from being able to speak. The live video feed of his capture, however, shows him emerging from the boat on his own power quite alive, and UNARMED. If he tried to commit suicide, where did he get the gun? Why now instead of in the boat? The whole story doesn’t make sense.

3) Why did the FBI claim not to know who the suspects were? After the dramatic killing and capture of the bombing suspects seemed to seal the case against them, the family of the boys cried foul saying the FBI had been tracking Tamerlan for years. Here’s a good synopsis by Activist Post.

Why did the FBI make a spectacle out of releasing the photos of the alleged Boston bombing suspects to the public feigning ignorance on who they were, asking for the public’s help to identify them, when they knew all along who they were? The fact that they were lying proves they have something(s) to hide. Remember the FBI is saying the following:

“These photos should be the only ones the public should view to assist us. Other photos should not be deemed credible. They unnecessarily divert the public’s attention in the wrong direction, and create undue work for vital law enforcement resources.” [This is suspicious in that it appears the FBI wanted to make sure only these two were caught and prosecuted—a sign that this might be a ploy to deter any investigation of others involved].

This entire press conference is now exposed as a lie since we now know the FBI was “monitoring them at every step”, according to their own admission. The FBI originally denied first meeting with the bombing suspect two years ago (lie #2), according to CBS. That was until they were forced to admit their involvement with the suspects.

CBS reported “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.”

The FBI story then changed again when the government claimed that the Russian FSB had contacted the FBI last year when the older suspect Tamerlan Tsaranaev went to Russia, Daghestan and Chechnya. According to the FBI the Russians were concerned about Americans of Chechen descent coming over to Chechnya or Dagestan in order to foment trouble. The FBI claims the Russians were worried about his “radicalization.”

However, this is very one-sided evidence coming only from the FBI, who had every reason to invent an excuse of why they had previous contact with the boys, and why it lead “nowhere” as they claim.

Even the Russian’s claimed concern in this is suspect since the KGB/FSB itself has been responsible for creating false flag terror bombings of their own and blaming them on the Chechens (examples: Moscow apartment and subway bombings, and the Breslin school terror attack)—a storyline dutifully repeated many times by the US mainstream media. The Atlantic’s Tom Balmforth gives the best summary of what went on during Tamerlan’s visit to his relatives in southern Russia:

In an interview that raises as many questions as it answers, Tsarnaev’s aunt, Patimat Suleimanova, says her nephew began a six-month stay in Daghestan in March 2012 — possibly even earlier — when his mother and father were both in the United States and not, as previously reported, with him. “[Tamerlan] was here without his father for two months. His father came here later, in May, but [Tamerlan] arrived earlier,” she says.

Many observers are hoping to find a clue to Tsarnaev’s motives and behavior in the time he spent time in the bustling Caspian Sea city of Makhachkala, the capital of a Russian province troubled by a simmering Islamist insurgency.

That contradicts a statement made by Anzor Tsarnaev [father] in an interview on April 21, in which he vouched for his son and said he was never far from his side during their visit to Daghestan. Anzor Tsarnaev said his son slept in late during the day, prayed, helped renovate the family home, and visited relatives in Makhachkala and twice in neighboring Chechnya.

Suleimanova says Tamerlan Tsarnaev was deeply religious by the time he arrived in Makhachkala. She says he prayed regularly and went to the mosque, although she was unable to specify which mosque.

The aunt and the father told other reporters that Tamerlan always visited with other relatives when he went traveling around, but they always “knew where he was.” There doesn’t appear to have been a lot of opportunity to get involved with terrorist training camps.

Rather than concentrate on Tamerlan representing some foreign Chechen terrorists—who have openly denied having targeted the US—more attention should be addressed to the contact he had in the states. But the FBI shows no interest anymore now that they have announced they acted alone. However, one lead that has surfaced is an Albanian named “Misha.” CNN reported this interview with the uncle:

The evolution of Tamerlan Tsarnaev from aspiring Olympic boxer to apparent radical jihadist may have been influenced by a friend in Cambridge, Massachusetts. “This person just took his brain. He just brainwashed him completely,” Tsarnaev’s uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, told CNN from his home in Maryland, describing the friend as an Armenian convert to Islam. Tsarni told CNN he was so concerned about someone brainwashing his nephew that he called a family friend in the Cambridge area to investigate.

While Tsarni did not give the friend’s name [which I find strange], The Associated Press reported that other members of Tsarnaev’s family said the friend goes by the name “Misha.” Asked about those reports, Elmirza Khozhgov, a former brother-in-law of Tsarnaev, told CNN Tsarnaev once introduced him to someone by that name who was an Armenian convert. He said he was not told Misha’s full name.

“It seemed to me that Misha had influence on Tamerlan,” apparently encouraging him to give up boxing because it “is violent,” Khozhgov told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “Misha” taught Tsarnaev “things that would make Tamerlan go away from the people and go more into the religion,” Khozhgov said, but “I didn’t witness him making him radical.”

Officials have not responded to requests for comment on someone named “Misha.” Lawmakers briefed Tuesday on the investigation told CNN they had not heard of anyone by that name. The Islamic Society of Boston told CNN Wednesday that so far no one in its network reported knowing a “Misha” who fit that description.

The government is strangely not interested in pursuing Misha, just as they refused to pursue any of the suspects referred to as “John Doe #2” during the OKC bombing— one Hussein al Husseini who ended up working for the FBI. Back to the FBI’s prior relationship with the family, the Activist Post continues:

The suspects’ family also state that they were well aware of an ongoing relationship between the FBI and the boys. Family members said they were “monitored” and “counseled” at every step, and the FBI was “controlling” and “following” them for years [the FBI tries to downplay the depth of their involvement with the family, implying it was only last year—which is in itself an indication that they are hiding much of what they were doing].

Their mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, in an interview with RT, said that the FBI had made contact with the family on multiple occasions: “They used to come [to our] home, they used to talk to me … they were telling me that he was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him,” Tsarnaeva said.

It’s no wonder the Mother feels her sons were “set up.” She said,

“They told me whatever information he is getting, he gets from these extremist sites… they were controlling him, they were controlling his every step…and now they say that this is a terrorist act!”

So the FBI, after first denying monitoring them, says yes, we did meet with him (Tamerlan) but “failed to find any incriminating information about him” while telling their mother that “he was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him.” (lie #3)

There are only two possible conclusions to explain the FBI’s blatant lies; either they’re covering up their complete incompetence to stop attacks that they were monitoring, or they’re covering up the fact that they were spurring and handling the bombing plot in the first place, as they’ve done in countless other fake terror plot cases.

Sadly, the latter is the conclusion I have reached. The mistakes they make happen because they can’t control all of the people that are involved in a complex false-flag operation. Much depends on their ability to control the press after the fact and direct the flow of information. In this case they have to steer the media pundits from asking the obvious questions, such as:

4) Why did the suspects not flee? The boys did not leave Boston or act guilty after the event nor did they go into hiding. The FBI never showed up at their home to arrest them even though they knew where they lived. The younger Tsarnaev brother even went to a college party and his friends said he seemed relaxed and totally normal. However, a couple of days after the event, the mother said that the younger brother told her the FBI called them accusing them of the bombing and that they feared for their lives.

Predictably the two suspects go on the run after the FBI calls the home and talks to the boys. Why didn’t the FBI just show up and arrest them as they do with all other criminals? Why call the suspect and alert him that you are coming to arrest him unless you are trying to spook them into running?

If these two were involved in a large cell controlled by an FBI informer/agent provocateur, and were the designated patsies to take the entire blame, then it is clearly a benefit to the planners of such a black operation that they be killed and not arrested where they might be able to tell more than would be convenient. Certainly, they would have eventually told of everyone else involved in providing them the knowledge and equipment necessary to pull this off.

The FBI has a secret policy of sending into every Mosque in the US not only informers but agent provocateurs, looking for disgruntled young Muslims that can be enticed into planning terrorist acts. The purpose seems not merely to inform, but to goad, entice, help plan and even supply bomb making technology to help Muslims commit terror—or at least get far enough into entrapment to be arrested.

Shifting the Blame: Government leakers and spokespersons are focusing on the storyline that the two brothers were acting alone. WsbTV.com in Atlanta reports that,

The Senate Intelligence Committee panel was briefed by federal law enforcement officials Tuesday as well. Members of the panel said there is “no question” that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was “the dominant force” behind the Boston attacks, and that him and his brother had apparently been radicalized by material on the Internet rather than by contact with militant groups overseas.

This is convenient because it allows the news media to shift the blame for radicalization onto those who they claim may have helped radicalized them—specifically, the Right wing internet websites involved in the 9/11 truth movement, which are particularly energizing to Muslims who feel that the US has unjustly intervened and occupied Muslim countries around the world based upon false-flag provocations like the 9/11 attacks.

It is an interesting fact that many more people outside the United States believe that our government was responsible for setting the explosives in the World Trade Center towers than inside the US. Foreigners aren’t subjected to the same constant drum beat of propaganda against conspiracy or the regular demonization of the few courageous Americans that are not afraid to put the facts before the people.

In the United States there is a literal vendetta against conspiracy, specifically from mainstream or faux conservative talking heads like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly who target certain alternative media outlets like Alex Jones and his formidable news organization that is always on the cutting edge ferreting out the truth in government black operations.

Government foreknowledge? Yes, there is even some evidence of foreknowledge. We have finally found out the identity of the private contractors in Khaki pants and dark jackets with backpacks. It turns out these guys are members of the Massachusetts National Guard Civilian Security Team (CST), which is trained to handle Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Explosive bomb analysis. http://theminorityreport.forummotion.com/t1335-identity-of-the-khaki-wearing-boston-bombing-operatives-revealed

The uniform they are wearing (khaki pants and boots and Navy Blue shirts or jackets) is a common one used by federal agencies (even the Secret Service) when out in the public. This is confirmation of the reports that a bomb drill was going on during the marathon as I covered last week.

I believe the backpacks contained anti-contamination suits which they could don if their meters indicated hazardous substances from a blast—that’s why we see one such individual in a picture with a hand held radiation meter after the explosions. However, I have no explanation for why some of them would have a “Punisher” skull on their shirt and hat since the rest of their outfit was clearly a kind of uniform—other than their link to former military service in the Navy Seals or Special Force who have also used this comic book logo.

But what is important is that their presence does show that the government expected a bomb incident, which is telling of a false flag event. Having a drill or exercise is a convenient cover for bringing in these specialized federal personnel. It is also strange that the government never made any effort to answer the public’s questions about them swirling all over the net. They could have easily done so, but never did. This is additional evidence that they don’t want the public knowing about these special teams—lest people come to a conclusion about prior knowledge.

At least one US Senator knew that some agency had prior knowledge (also reported in the previously cited WsbTV.com Atlanta link):

Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss told Channel 2 Action News late Tuesday afternoon that a law enforcement agency may have had information in advance of the Boston bombings that wasn’t properly shared. [That’s always the conclusion—that it wasn’t shared—no implication about what foreknowledge portends about government involvement in false flag operations]

“There now appears that may have been some evidence that was obtained by one of the law enforcement agencies that did not get shared in a way that it could have been. If that turns out to be the case, then we have to determine whether or not that would have made a difference,” Chambliss said.

Some background on government false flag operations: Let’s now look at this attack and compare it to other attacks the US government’s black ops has directed in order to foment and build up this war on terror. Such acts not only justify the continued intervention in other Muslim nations, which has as its ultimate goal prepping the world for a future World War, but to also justify restricting the civil rights and constitutional protections of citizens here at home. Here are the key anomalies I have noticed in the past which point to government induced terror:

First: Terror attacks in the US are always high profile which is not typical for normal acts of terror. Compare this to the regular terror attacks in Israel. There is ample hatred among Palestinians against both the Israeli government and its civilian population which drives consistent kinds of suicide bombings which attack Israeli civilians–at malls, in buses and in crowded shopping areas.

Strangely, in the US we’ve had NO examples of this kind of normal terror, only high profile attacks on such things as the World Trade Centers (twice). Real terror attacks by the Islamist world would send extremists through the porous southern border every week to blow up railroad tracks, electrical pylons or set off car bombs in shopping malls and crowded areas in border towns. We have seen NONE of these, even though thousands of illegals cross the border every day. No one questions why.

But our own government loses no time in using these high profile attacks to justify a curtailment of liberty and essential legal protections against surveillance, indefinite detention and habeas corpus. High profile attacks clearly serve a key globalist agenda of justifying constant warfare and restricting constitutional liberties at home. Ultimately, that agenda is linked to a conspiracy to take down American liberty and force our people, under the exigencies of war and conflict, to accept a global government devoid of real protection of individual rights.

Second: No one claims responsibility for these high profile attacks. That’s a sign they aren’t done by the Islamists the government claims. Normal terrorists have historically claimed responsibility for every hijacking, every attack on the Olympics and every suicide bombing—to show their supporters that they are able to get back at their enemies and destabilize Western nations by making them feel vulnerable. Terror is never done just to kill. It is done to fight for a larger agenda. How is the terrorist’s purpose served if no one claims responsibility? That leaves it to our own government to conveniently place the blame on whomever it will to further its own agenda. Here are three major examples:

No one claimed responsibility for TWA 800. That’s because it was shot down by an errant missile from a US Naval missile exercise going on in the military restricted area (MOA) in the ocean below. A Navy drone was seen flying over Long Island which is proof there was a missile exercise going on at the time. The government decided to engage in a massive cover up rather than admit the mistake, and spent a million dollars with the CIA to create a falsified video blaming the tragic explosion on some mythical spark in a fuel tank.

No one claimed responsibility for the Oklahoma City Bombing. But it was orchestrated specifically to place blame on right wing militias. The patsy, Timothy McVeigh, was lured into black operations after serving in the Army and was set up with various agent provocateurs to assist him with the bomb. Terry Nichols, who did have a Right wing background was brought into the scheme to secure a more believable link to the Right wing militias.

However, the story of a single bomb and the lone bomber began to unravel when evidence of other bombs were discovered, planted inside and around the building, and captured on film by local TV crews. These could not have been placed by McVeigh who was only filmed approaching the building once. It was the government itself that suppressed the evidence of these other accomplices, and bombs. They also suppressed the seismic evidence showing two explosions and the surveillance videos that would have showed the shaking from two explosion. When the feds finally released the videos experts could see they had been edited to cut out the parts showing the second seismic event.

Lastly, no one claimed responsibility for the 9/11 attacks. The CIA created a couple of false videos trying to make it look like bin Laden was behind it, but experts say these were clearly fakes using various look-alike persons. The government covered up so many of the details in this attack, one can only wonder what were they trying to hide. Details such as the stand down of interceptor aircraft, refusing to allow any experts to examine the debris of the WTC collapse including the tons of molten steel deep in the basement areas, the silencing of witnesses to the controlled explosion of WTC-7, the suppression of surveillance videos surrounding the Pentagon attack, and the altering, omission or falsifying of testimony before the rigged 9/11 commission.

As eager as the mainstream media will be to print and believe whatever government investigators come up with in this latest attack, additional millions of Americans have become permanent skeptics about any official version—having been lied to so many times in virtually all of the former official investigations into conspiracies of the past.

What happened in Boston this week fits the pattern of government black operations in fomenting the fear of terror. It was a high profile event, and no terrorist group has taken credit. There was a bomb detection exercise going on that could have provided cover for the placement of the bombs. No one knows for sure, and like the other very secret conspiracies mentioned, we may never know because the government holds all the secrets and controls the investigative and surveillance process. But we have to consider it a possibility given the government’s history of false flag terror attacks—going back to even Pearl Harbor and the sinking of the Maine.

In Conclusion: Where will this lead? What we saw happen in Boston during the lockdown of the city as they searched for a single suspect on the run was so over-the-top that I’m shocked at how easy it was to pull off with nary a whimper of protest from the over 1 million people ordered to “shelter in place.” This attack also moved forward in a quantum leap the tendency of American’s to yield to any level of militarization of law enforcement and loss of civil rights if the provocation is big enough. We saw the city of Boston and all other suburbs put under lockdown without even declaring martial law—which certainly would not have been necessary for the pursuit of two criminal suspects. High speed and violent pursuits of criminals happen all the time in large cities and the city is never put into lockdown.

Worse, people were ordered out of their homes and told to lay on the ground without probable cause or without warrants—and no one complained. It’s one thing to have to police ask if you will voluntarily allow a search in times of exigency, but to order people around like this was improper and unlawful. Backpacks are now banned at most large gatherings. We will probably see a much high presence of militarized law enforcement enforcing TSA style searches “for our own protection.”

There has also been a push to dump constitutional protections. The younger Tsarnaev brother is a naturalized US citizen. Incredibly, both liberals like Democratic Mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg and so-called conservative Senator Lindsay Graham recommended dumping constitutional rights and declaring this suspect an enemy combatant.

They may have to revert to that because federal investigators got the wounded Tsarnaev brother to admit to a lot of things before they read him his Miranda rights. Now he isn’t talking. His lawyer is going to have a field day with the fed’s violation of his rights. But, I suspect the courts may take up the call of Bloomberg and Graham and allow it due to this high profile event. Truly these people never let a “good crisis go to waste.”

Even the Canadian government is using the terror attack to accelerate passage of its version of the NDAA authorization of indefinite detention. The Globe and Mail said,

The Harper government is using the Boston Marathon bombing to expedite the passage of a relatively slow-moving bill that would restrict civil liberties in the name of fighting terrorism. The Conservative have cleared time in their legislative agenda Monday and Tuesday to conduct third-reading debate on S-7, legislation that would authorize police to pre-emptively detain Canadians and hold them for up to three days without charging them.

Did the Tsarnaev brothers do it? I do believe they were involved in a plot that day, and had some role, but there are many possibilities that need to be probed. Were they part of a larger group and specifically set up to take the entire blame? I’m certain they were. Were there present in this larger group FBI agent provocateurs who directed the planning, and provided sophisticated equipment like the trigger mechanisms? I think that such direction was present.

FBI agent provocateurs (who the Bureau always labels merely as “informants” but who actually actively encourage and direct terrorist acts) have been involved in guiding the activities of every Muslim terrorist prosecuted since 9/11, with the possible exception of the amateurish Times Square bomb that fizzled.

It is amazing that there has not been more blowback (unintended effects of a black operation) from the revelations of this bombing. A real media discussion of this event would cast a negative light on our support of Syria’s Islamist rebels. Instead it looks like the PTB will try to push us over the edge by engaging more directly in the conflict.

THIS WEEK’S ANALYSIS
Marathon Bombing Update—Answers Lead to More Questions
Rand Paul Unwisely Says Drones are OK 
Sequester Shortages Try to Yield More Pain
Internet Sales Tax Must be Stopped
MARATHON BOMBING UPDATE—ANSWERS LEAD TO MORE QUESTIONS
Due to the mass of amateur photos and videos being used in the moments before, during and after the Boston bombing, there has been more private evidence surrounding this supposed “terrorist” event than almost any previous high-profile catastrophe. Although spectators, runners and other outsiders were quickly pushed away from the scene, the massive investigative power of millions of interested people combing through pictures uploaded to social media and picture-sharing websites produced an impressive array of pictures and video that allowed the public to check police statements as they came in.
As the official version of events emerges from contradictory or outright false statements we are told there is more video and photos that provide “clear” and “chilling” proof against the Tsarnaev brothers. However, unlike the circumstantial clips released of the Chechan brothers, the most important videos are held back, forcing us to rely on the government’s word for it all. Given the constantly changing storyline from earlier statements of fact given by official spokespersons to the media this is not reassuring. Here then is a breakdown of what we know relative to what the government is telling us and the contradictions from publicly available evidence.
1) The marathon explosions
The official indictment (available at this website: http://rapgenius.com/Federal-bureau-of-investigation-charges-against-dzhokhar-tsarnaev-lyrics#lyric) describes the government’s evidence, but only includes the previously released circumstantial video and photographic evidence of the accused brothers near the bomb sites. The details relative to the criminal accusations in the indictment are supposedly backed up by additional video and photos which are described in detailed but this most important evidence is not included. Here is the central part of the narrative:

At approximately 2:42 p.m. (i.e., approximately seven minutes before the first explosion), Bomber One can be seen detaching himself from the crowd and walking east on Boylston Street towards the Marathon finish line. Approximately 15 seconds later, he can be seen passing directly in front of the Forum Restaurant and continuing in the direction of the location where the first explosion occurred. His knapsack is still on his back.

At approximately 2:45 p.m., Bomber Two can be seen detaching himself from the crowd and walking east on Boylston Street toward the Marathon finishing line. He appears to have the thumb of his right hand hooked under the strap of his knapsack and a cell phone in his left hand. Approximately 15 seconds later, he can be seen stopping directly in front of the Forum Restaurant and standing near the metal [barrier along the race route] among numerous spectators, with his back to the camera, facing the runners, He then can be seen apparently slipping his knapsack onto the ground. A photograph taken from the opposite side of the street shows the knapsack on the ground at Bomber Two’s feet.

The Forum Restaurant video shows that Bomber Two remained in the same spot for approximately four minutes, occasionally looking at his cell phone and once appearing to take a picture with it. At some point he appears to look at his phone, which is held at approximately waist level, and may be manipulating the phone. Approximately 30 seconds before the first explosion, he lifts his phone to his ear as if he is speaking on his cell phone, and keeps it there for approximately 18 seconds. A few seconds after he finishes the call, the large crowd of people around him can be seen reacting to the first explosion. Virtually every head turns to the east (towards the finish line) and stares in that direction in apparent bewilderment and alarm. Bomber Two, virtually alone among the individuals in front of the restaurant, appears calm. He glances to the east and then calmly but rapidly begins moving to the west, away from the direction of the finish line. He walks away without his knapsack, having left it on the ground where he had been standing. Approximately 10 seconds later, an explosion occurs in the location where Bomber Two had placed his knapsack.

It seems very suspicious that the FBI would release so many photos and video excerpts (including even partial and grainy shots as if they are presenting everything possible) showing the brothers in the area, but then they fail to produce the most conclusive evidence that matches what the indictment says.
This narrative is so specific that it would be very risky for a federal official to make such detailed reference to video evidence if they did not actually possess it—unless they already had a legal strategy worked out where the claimed evidence would be suppressed under the government’s habitual use of the State Secrets doctrine or via a compliant judge who has agreed in advance to seal the evidence. The suppression of key evidence has been a central part of every major government cover-up including the JFK and Martin Luther King assassinations, Oklahoma City bombing and both WTC attacks.
Here are some of the problems with this part of the official scenario:
The backpack used in the bombing is shown here as part of the crime scene evidence along with the pressure cooker parts (scroll through 5 photos): http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/story/21996004/exclusive-photos-boston-marathon-bomb
Notice the black shoulder straps have lighter strips on them and to of the pack has a white square label. In contrast, the packs of the two brothers (visible here: http://politic365.com/2013/04/18/boston-marathon-bombing-fbi-posts-video-of-two-men-with-backpacks/) don’t match those markings. The pack of the older brother is dark gray without lighter strips on the straps nor a square white label. The pack of the younger brother is completely different—light colored, with some black trim. Neither backpack appears bulging sufficiently to account for pressure cookers which were at least 10 inches in diameter.
The Pressure Cooker Bomb. Yes, this is a common and necessary way to contain the charge of a relatively slow burning explosive like gunpowder. Without such a container the powder would simply burn rapidly without explosive force. It is a commonly available pressure container and there are numerous terrorists that have used them before. There is nothing unique here, other than to note that although this type of explosive device might be built by amateurs, the triggering mechanism are necessarily quite complex. So this primitive type of explosive may have been just to give the appearance that this was the work of amateurs using internet plans.
Authorities believe the bombs used gunpowder extracted from fireworks. A fireworks shop has confirmed from credit card records that Tamerlan purchased two large fireworks for about $400 in New Hampshire and many more fireworks have been found in their apartment or stashed nearby. I’m glad to hear it wasn’t reloading powder from a gun store—which would probably cause legislators to restrict all black powder purchases even further. As it is they’ll have trouble banning all fireworks to cut off this supply source. Still fireworks are an expensive way to get gunpowder—the $400 purchase didn’t even net a half pound of powder according to ABC News.
The Triggering Mechanism: The government’s story has changed 3 times on this crucial issue. First, investigators told the media that a sophisticated triggering mechanism was involved leading them to suspect they were part of a larger terrorist cell with “up to a dozen members.” How they could report that one day and then claim they acted alone the next, I don’t understand.
Then, the story changed to the use of common “hobby fuses.” These are green in color and used on everything from hobby rocket booster motors to large fire crackers. They must be ignited by a match or other very hot glowing source.
Now government investigators tell Congressmen who are part of the intelligence committee (only reliable yes-men are allowed on this committee) that the triggering mechanism was from a radio controlled remote used for toy cars. Let’s analyze this:
First the boys could not have lit the fuses manually. They would have had to have a fuse sticking out of the pressure cooker vent hole, opened their packs and manually ignited the fuse with a match. That would have been too obvious and even the government doesn’t claim they saw any such action on their exclusive video evidence.
Using a clock timer is the next easiest way to set off a bomb of this type for an amateur. Unlike plastic explosives gunpowder doesn’t need a blasting cap—a hot spark will do just fine. And, it is easier to create a spark with a clock timer and appropriate capacitors than to ignite a fuse, which requires a flame or some other miniature hot igniter. Clock timer bomb triggers usually connect to a type of electronic blasting cap, not a fuse. But, the government has insisted twice now that green colored hobby fuses were present in the bombs—probably deduced from the unexploded bombs they claim they found in the boy’s car. This rules out a clock timer because of the difficulty of coupling it to a fuse ignition source.
Compounding the difficulty with the fuses is the government’s claim that the brothers used radio controlled remote controllers common to motorized toys. Crime scene photos showed plastic pieces and a battery that look like something from a toy car or model airplane. Battery powered controllers are used on a variety of remote controlled toys, however we come up with the same objection to clock timers—the inability, or extreme difficulty, to light the fuse. Besides, the official indictment of the government does not match the radio remote type of trigger. No one observed the boys holding a remote control at the time of the explosions.
What the government accusation does claim is that the boys were holding a cell phone to their ear, 18 seconds in one case, until the bomb goes off. That’s a problem too, because all you have to do to trigger a cell phone activator is call the number. You don’t have to be listening to anything. The government seems reluctant to go for the cell phone trigger argument, because that clearly requires expertise in bomb making, but that’s what they are leaving us with. If they want us to believe that the boys coupled a cell phone call to a cell phone trigger that was, in turn, linked to a radio remote control unit which actually triggered the bomb, they are asking us to believe even more—all of this is could only be done by a real expert.
This is the biggest hole in their claim that these bombs were set off by the boys acting alone. And, if they did use these timers, then they had expert help. Personally, I think it was the latter, and is the first clue that government may have been involved. Despite all this, the government is now heading in the direction of claiming the boys acted alone, that they were radicalized alone and that no one else was involved. That I simple cannot believe.
Did the younger bomber flee with his backpack? I initially thought there was one picture that showed the younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, (who had the white hat on backwards) fleeing with his backpack on. I’ve changed my mind on that:
There is a high resolution iPad photo taken by David Green of Jacksonville Florida showing the boy running from the bombing. The lighting in the shadows is poor but we see his elbow to the rear as he runs, covering where the backpack would normally be. When I first saw this photo, brought to everyone’s attention by an amateur investigator prone to hype,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjocGidSLJw it appeared that the elbow going back and to the rear couldn’t be that long and that his backpack might still be visible. However, upon closer examination of an enlargement of the picture, I’m now convinced it only shows the elbow and not the backpack.
Everything from this point on gets murky—filled with contradictory claims between police and federal investigators and eye witnesses to the manhunt and subsequent take-down of the two brothers.
2) Shootout and Apprehension of Suspects
Within hours of the FBI naming two culprits in the Boston bombings while aggressively demanding that no attention be focused on any other potential suspects, the official police narrative said the Tsarnaev brothers robbed a 7-Eleven convenience store, ambushed a police officer on the campus of MIT, carjacked an SUV and then engaged in a high speed chase ending in a deadly shootout with police where Tamerlan and another officer were killed while Dzhokhar escaped and went on the run. A representative from the 7-Eleven chain later contradicted the police and reported that after reviewing all security cameras no robbery took place that night by the bombing suspects—adding to the growing list of contradictions to official statements errors that have never been clarified.
The Watertown police said the suspects set off grenades to try to stop police pursuit and that the stolen vehicle was later found to contain other explosive devices. Much of this information was false and fed to the media by Watertown Police Chief Edward Deveau as he did an on-camera interview with Wolf Blitzer of CNN.
In the battle the Chief claims the boys throw another explosive device at them and that they had various pipe bombs of “improved explosive devices,” making this seem like an Iraqi style terror event. He claims that the police had a raging gun battle with the well armed youths—who police now admit had only one gun between them—and that after several minutes the older brother Tamerlan stepped out from the SUV and started walking toward them shooting as he advanced. This is hard to believe that anyone would walk into a hail of gunfire from multiple police squad cars and not get hit or stopped.
Then the Chief claims that when Tamerlan was out of ammo, the police tackled and handcuffed him. We are supposed to believe one of the officers ran out into the open to do this rather than shoot him dead, disregarding the other brother who had more bombs to through. As a former combat trained Marine, I find it impossible to believe this version of events.
Finally the Chief makes the dramatic and unlikely claim that the younger Tsarnaev brother drove the SUV toward the tackled brother and ran over him as the police dive out of the way. He supposedly drags his brother under the car, killing him and then escapes. The two sources of evidence that we have of that evening contradicts this entire story.
First: A CNN video shows the police arresting a man who looks just like Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The arrested man is made to take off all his clothes to check for bombs, and then put into a squad car. He is later taken out of the car to be photographed and interrogated by another investigator and then told to put his clothes back on. The next day Dan Dicks of Press for Truth television listeners actually hear the voice of the aunt of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, telling Dicks that she is 100% certain that the man in the video is her nephew Tamerlan.
Second: An eyewitness of the shootout comes forward the next day and tells reporters that a police vehicle ran over Tamerlan and then they shot him afterward many times with multiple weapons. The doctor examining the dead older brother says there was not one part of his body not wounded. When you see the picture of his dead body (caution: very graphic image) , http://i.imgur.com/0U0ozqt.jpg you’ll see a huge gaping wound on the side of the chest, that is not explained by gunfire or being hit by a car at fairly slow speeds. One website said that doctors created this opening to help save his life. But others say he was dead long before he got there. I’m not aware of any medical procedure like what is shown, causing a huge jagged hole, cutting across multiple ribs and exposing the whole lung cavity that could possibly have a beneficial medical outcome. This unauthorized picture was taken and circulated by someone in law enforcement gloating over the kill.
It is hard to try to piece together everything that happened that night. So far it seems that the older brother was alive and in the custody of police—and somehow was put back on the street and killed by police in this bizarre and conflicting shootout. Worse, when it was all over the police had to admit, that there was only one semi-auto pistol between both suspects and that was wielded by the older brother. –Some raging gun battle!
Many facts also don’t add up with the final apprehension of Dzhokhar the next evening. Video and eyewitness accounts attest to multiple bursts of gunfire along with flash grenade explosions, but since the boy wasn’t armed the fusillade of bullets aimed at the brother holed up in a parked boat was clearly unjustified.
The official story is that the younger brother exits the boat after being surrounded by police and tries to commit suicide by shooting himself in the mouth but only doing damage to his throat—keeping him from being able to speak. The live video feed of his capture, however, shows him emerging from the boat on his own power quite alive, and UNARMED. If he tried to commit suicide, where did he get the gun? Why now instead of in the boat? The whole story doesn’t make sense.
3) Why did the FBI claim not to know who the suspects were? After the dramatic killing and capture of the bombing suspects seemed to seal the case against them, the family of the boys cried foul saying the FBI had been tracking Tamerlan for years. Here’s a good synopsis by Activist Post.

Why did the FBI make a spectacle out of releasing the photos of the alleged Boston bombing suspects to the public feigning ignorance on who they were, asking for the public’s help to identify them, when they knew all along who they were? The fact that they were lying proves they have something(s) to hide. Remember the FBI is saying the following:

“These photos should be the only ones the public should view to assist us. Other photos should not be deemed credible. They unnecessarily divert the public’s attention in the wrong direction, and create undue work for vital law enforcement resources.” [This is suspicious in that it appears the FBI wanted to make sure only these two were caught and prosecuted—a sign that this might be a ploy to deter any investigation of others involved].

This entire press conference is now exposed as a lie since we now know the FBI was “monitoring them at every step”, according to their own admission. The FBI originally denied first meeting with the bombing suspect two years ago (lie #2), according to CBS. That was until they were forced to admit their involvement with the suspects.

CBS reported “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.”

The FBI story then changed again when the government claimed that the Russian FSB had contacted the FBI last year when the older suspect Tamerlan Tsaranaev went to Russia, Daghestan and Chechnya. According to the FBI the Russians were concerned about Americans of Chechen descent coming over to Chechnya or Dagestan in order to foment trouble. The FBI claims the Russians were worried about his “radicalization.”
However, this is very one-sided evidence coming only from the FBI, who had every reason to invent an excuse of why they had previous contact with the boys, and why it lead “nowhere” as they claim.
Even the Russian’s claimed concern in this is suspect since the KGB/FSB itself has been responsible for creating false flag terror bombings of their own and blaming them on the Chechens (examples: Moscow apartment and subway bombings, and the Breslin school terror attack)—a storyline dutifully repeated many times by the US mainstream media. The Atlantic’s Tom Balmforth gives the best summary of what went on during Tamerlan’s visit to his relatives in southern Russia:

In an interview that raises as many questions as it answers, Tsarnaev’s aunt, Patimat Suleimanova, says her nephew began a six-month stay in Daghestan in March 2012 — possibly even earlier — when his mother and father were both in the United States and not, as previously reported, with him. “[Tamerlan] was here without his father for two months. His father came here later, in May, but [Tamerlan] arrived earlier,” she says.

Many observers are hoping to find a clue to Tsarnaev’s motives and behavior in the time he spent time in the bustling Caspian Sea city of Makhachkala, the capital of a Russian province troubled by a simmering Islamist insurgency.

That contradicts a statement made by Anzor Tsarnaev [father] in an interview on April 21, in which he vouched for his son and said he was never far from his side during their visit to Daghestan. Anzor Tsarnaev said his son slept in late during the day, prayed, helped renovate the family home, and visited relatives in Makhachkala and twice in neighboring Chechnya.

Suleimanova says Tamerlan Tsarnaev was deeply religious by the time he arrived in Makhachkala. She says he prayed regularly and went to the mosque, although she was unable to specify which mosque.

The aunt and the father told other reporters that Tamerlan always visited with other relatives when he went traveling around, but they always “knew where he was.” There doesn’t appear to have been a lot of opportunity to get involved with terrorist training camps.
Rather than concentrate on Tamerlan representing some foreign Chechen terrorists—who have openly denied having targeted the US—more attention should be addressed to the contact he had in the states. But the FBI shows no interest anymore now that they have announced they acted alone. However, one lead that has surfaced is an Albanian named “Misha.” CNN reported this interview with the uncle:

The evolution of Tamerlan Tsarnaev from aspiring Olympic boxer to apparent radical jihadist may have been influenced by a friend in Cambridge, Massachusetts. “This person just took his brain. He just brainwashed him completely,” Tsarnaev’s uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, told CNN from his home in Maryland, describing the friend as an Armenian convert to Islam. Tsarni told CNN he was so concerned about someone brainwashing his nephew that he called a family friend in the Cambridge area to investigate.

While Tsarni did not give the friend’s name [which I find strange], The Associated Press reported that other members of Tsarnaev’s family said the friend goes by the name “Misha.” Asked about those reports, Elmirza Khozhgov, a former brother-in-law of Tsarnaev, told CNN Tsarnaev once introduced him to someone by that name who was an Armenian convert. He said he was not told Misha’s full name.

“It seemed to me that Misha had influence on Tamerlan,” apparently encouraging him to give up boxing because it “is violent,” Khozhgov told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “Misha” taught Tsarnaev “things that would make Tamerlan go away from the people and go more into the religion,” Khozhgov said, but “I didn’t witness him making him radical.”

Officials have not responded to requests for comment on someone named “Misha.” Lawmakers briefed Tuesday on the investigation told CNN they had not heard of anyone by that name. The Islamic Society of Boston told CNN Wednesday that so far no one in its network reported knowing a “Misha” who fit that description.

The government is strangely not interested in pursuing Misha, just as they refused to pursue any of the suspects referred to as “John Doe #2” during the OKC bombing— one Hussein al Husseini who ended up working for the FBI. Back to the FBI’s prior relationship with the family, the Activist Post continues:

The suspects’ family also state that they were well aware of an ongoing relationship between the FBI and the boys. Family members said they were “monitored” and “counseled” at every step, and the FBI was “controlling” and “following” them for years [the FBI tries to downplay the depth of their involvement with the family, implying it was only last year—which is in itself an indication that they are hiding much of what they were doing].

Their mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, in an interview with RT, said that the FBI had made contact with the family on multiple occasions: “They used to come [to our] home, they used to talk to me … they were telling me that he was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him,” Tsarnaeva said.

It’s no wonder the Mother feels her sons were “set up.” She said,

“They told me whatever information he is getting, he gets from these extremist sites… they were controlling him, they were controlling his every step…and now they say that this is a terrorist act!”

So the FBI, after first denying monitoring them, says yes, we did meet with him (Tamerlan) but “failed to find any incriminating information about him” while telling their mother that “he was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him.” (lie #3)

There are only two possible conclusions to explain the FBI’s blatant lies; either they’re covering up their complete incompetence to stop attacks that they were monitoring, or they’re covering up the fact that they were spurring and handling the bombing plot in the first place, as they’ve done in countless other fake terror plot cases.

Sadly, the latter is the conclusion I have reached. The mistakes they make happen because they can’t control all of the people that are involved in a complex false-flag operation. Much depends on their ability to control the press after the fact and direct the flow of information. In this case they have to steer the media pundits from asking the obvious questions, such as:
4) Why did the suspects not flee? The boys did not leave Boston or act guilty after the event nor did they go into hiding. The FBI never showed up at their home to arrest them even though they knew where they lived. The younger Tsarnaev brother even went to a college party and his friends said he seemed relaxed and totally normal. However, a couple of days after the event, the mother said that the younger brother told her the FBI called them accusing them of the bombing and that they feared for their lives.
Predictably the two suspects go on the run after the FBI calls the home and talks to the boys. Why didn’t the FBI just show up and arrest them as they do with all other criminals? Why call the suspect and alert him that you are coming to arrest him unless you are trying to spook them into running?
If these two were involved in a large cell controlled by an FBI informer/agent provocateur, and were the designated patsies to take the entire blame, then it is clearly a benefit to the planners of such a black operation that they be killed and not arrested where they might be able to tell more than would be convenient. Certainly, they would have eventually told of everyone else involved in providing them the knowledge and equipment necessary to pull this off.
The FBI has a secret policy of sending into every Mosque in the US not only informers but agent provocateurs, looking for disgruntled young Muslims that can be enticed into planning terrorist acts. The purpose seems not merely to inform, but to goad, entice, help plan and even supply bomb making technology to help Muslims commit terror—or at least get far enough into entrapment to be arrested.
Shifting the Blame: Government leakers and spokespersons are focusing on the storyline that the two brothers were acting alone. WsbTV.com in Atlanta reports that,

The Senate Intelligence Committee panel was briefed by federal law enforcement officials Tuesday as well. Members of the panel said there is “no question” that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was “the dominant force” behind the Boston attacks, and that him and his brother had apparently been radicalized by material on the Internet rather than by contact with militant groups overseas.

This is convenient because it allows the news media to shift the blame for radicalization onto those who they claim may have helped radicalized them—specifically, the Right wing internet websites involved in the 9/11 truth movement, which are particularly energizing to Muslims who feel that the US has unjustly intervened and occupied Muslim countries around the world based upon false-flag provocations like the 9/11 attacks.
It is an interesting fact that many more people outside the United States believe that our government was responsible for setting the explosives in the World Trade Center towers than inside the US. Foreigners aren’t subjected to the same constant drum beat of propaganda against conspiracy or the regular demonization of the few courageous Americans that are not afraid to put the facts before the people.
In the United States there is a literal vendetta against conspiracy, specifically from mainstream or faux conservative talking heads like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly who target certain alternative media outlets like Alex Jones and his formidable news organization that is always on the cutting edge ferreting out the truth in government black operations.
Government foreknowledge? Yes, there is even some evidence of foreknowledge. We have finally found out the identity of the private contractors in Khaki pants and dark jackets with backpacks. It turns out these guys are members of the Massachusetts National Guard Civilian Security Team (CST), which is trained to handle Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Explosive bomb analysis. http://theminorityreport.forummotion.com/t1335-identity-of-the-khaki-wearing-boston-bombing-operatives-revealed
The uniform they are wearing (khaki pants and boots and Navy Blue shirts or jackets) is a common one used by federal agencies (even the Secret Service) when out in the public. This is confirmation of the reports that a bomb drill was going on during the marathon as I covered last week.
I believe the backpacks contained anti-contamination suits which they could don if their meters indicated hazardous substances from a blast—that’s why we see one such individual in a picture with a hand held radiation meter after the explosions. However, I have no explanation for why some of them would have a “Punisher” skull on their shirt and hat since the rest of their outfit was clearly a kind of uniform—other than their link to former military service in the Navy Seals or Special Force who have also used this comic book logo.
But what is important is that their presence does show that the government expected a bomb incident, which is telling of a false flag event. Having a drill or exercise is a convenient cover for bringing in these specialized federal personnel. It is also strange that the government never made any effort to answer the public’s questions about them swirling all over the net. They could have easily done so, but never did. This is additional evidence that they don’t want the public knowing about these special teams—lest people come to a conclusion about prior knowledge.
At least one US Senator knew that some agency had prior knowledge (also reported in the previously cited WsbTV.com Atlanta link):
Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss told Channel 2 Action News late Tuesday afternoon that a law enforcement agency may have had information in advance of the Boston bombings that wasn’t properly shared. [That’s always the conclusion—that it wasn’t shared—no implication about what foreknowledge portends about government involvement in false flag operations]

“There now appears that may have been some evidence that was obtained by one of the law enforcement agencies that did not get shared in a way that it could have been. If that turns out to be the case, then we have to determine whether or not that would have made a difference,” Chambliss said.

Some background on government false flag operations: Let’s now look at this attack and compare it to other attacks the US government’s black ops has directed in order to foment and build up this war on terror. Such acts not only justify the continued intervention in other Muslim nations, which has as its ultimate goal prepping the world for a future World War, but to also justify restricting the civil rights and constitutional protections of citizens here at home. Here are the key anomalies I have noticed in the past which point to government induced terror:
First: Terror attacks in the US are always high profile which is not typical for normal acts of terror. Compare this to the regular terror attacks in Israel. There is ample hatred among Palestinians against both the Israeli government and its civilian population which drives consistent kinds of suicide bombings which attack Israeli civilians–at malls, in buses and in crowded shopping areas.
Strangely, in the US we’ve had NO examples of this kind of normal terror, only high profile attacks on such things as the World Trade Centers (twice). Real terror attacks by the Islamist world would send extremists through the porous southern border every week to blow up railroad tracks, electrical pylons or set off car bombs in shopping malls and crowded areas in border towns. We have seen NONE of these, even though thousands of illegals cross the border every day. No one questions why.
But our own government loses no time in using these high profile attacks to justify a curtailment of liberty and essential legal protections against surveillance, indefinite detention and habeas corpus. High profile attacks clearly serve a key globalist agenda of justifying constant warfare and restricting constitutional liberties at home. Ultimately, that agenda is linked to a conspiracy to take down American liberty and force our people, under the exigencies of war and conflict, to accept a global government devoid of real protection of individual rights.
Second: No one claims responsibility for these high profile attacks. That’s a sign they aren’t done by the Islamists the government claims. Normal terrorists have historically claimed responsibility for every hijacking, every attack on the Olympics and every suicide bombing—to show their supporters that they are able to get back at their enemies and destabilize Western nations by making them feel vulnerable. Terror is never done just to kill. It is done to fight for a larger agenda. How is the terrorist’s purpose served if no one claims responsibility? That leaves it to our own government to conveniently place the blame on whomever it will to further its own agenda. Here are three major examples:
No one claimed responsibility for TWA 800. That’s because it was shot down by an errant missile from a US Naval missile exercise going on in the military restricted area (MOA) in the ocean below. A Navy drone was seen flying over Long Island which is proof there was a missile exercise going on at the time. The government decided to engage in a massive cover up rather than admit the mistake, and spent a million dollars with the CIA to create a falsified video blaming the tragic explosion on some mythical spark in a fuel tank.
No one claimed responsibility for the Oklahoma City Bombing. But it was orchestrated specifically to place blame on right wing militias. The patsy, Timothy McVeigh, was lured into black operations after serving in the Army and was set up with various agent provocateurs to assist him with the bomb. Terry Nichols, who did have a Right wing background was brought into the scheme to secure a more believable link to the Right wing militias.
However, the story of a single bomb and the lone bomber began to unravel when evidence of other bombs were discovered, planted inside and around the building, and captured on film by local TV crews. These could not have been placed by McVeigh who was only filmed approaching the building once. It was the government itself that suppressed the evidence of these other accomplices, and bombs. They also suppressed the seismic evidence showing two explosions and the surveillance videos that would have showed the shaking from two explosion. When the feds finally released the videos experts could see they had been edited to cut out the parts showing the second seismic event.
Lastly, no one claimed responsibility for the 9/11 attacks. The CIA created a couple of false videos trying to make it look like bin Laden was behind it, but experts say these were clearly fakes using various look-alike persons. The government covered up so many of the details in this attack, one can only wonder what were they trying to hide. Details such as the stand down of interceptor aircraft, refusing to allow any experts to examine the debris of the WTC collapse including the tons of molten steel deep in the basement areas, the silencing of witnesses to the controlled explosion of WTC-7, the suppression of surveillance videos surrounding the Pentagon attack, and the altering, omission or falsifying of testimony before the rigged 9/11 commission.
As eager as the mainstream media will be to print and believe whatever government investigators come up with in this latest attack, additional millions of Americans have become permanent skeptics about any official version—having been lied to so many times in virtually all of the former official investigations into conspiracies of the past.
What happened in Boston this week fits the pattern of government black operations in fomenting the fear of terror. It was a high profile event, and no terrorist group has taken credit. There was a bomb detection exercise going on that could have provided cover for the placement of the bombs. No one knows for sure, and like the other very secret conspiracies mentioned, we may never know because the government holds all the secrets and controls the investigative and surveillance process. But we have to consider it a possibility given the government’s history of false flag terror attacks—going back to even Pearl Harbor and the sinking of the Maine.
In Conclusion: Where will this lead? What we saw happen in Boston during the lockdown of the city as they searched for a single suspect on the run was so over-the-top that I’m shocked at how easy it was to pull off with nary a whimper of protest from the over 1 million people ordered to “shelter in place.” This attack also moved forward in a quantum leap the tendency of American’s to yield to any level of militarization of law enforcement and loss of civil rights if the provocation is big enough. We saw the city of Boston and all other suburbs put under lockdown without even declaring martial law—which certainly would not have been necessary for the pursuit of two criminal suspects. High speed and violent pursuits of criminals happen all the time in large cities and the city is never put into lockdown.
Worse, people were ordered out of their homes and told to lay on the ground without probable cause or without warrants—and no one complained. It’s one thing to have to police ask if you will voluntarily allow a search in times of exigency, but to order people around like this was improper and unlawful. Backpacks are now banned at most large gatherings. We will probably see a much high presence of militarized law enforcement enforcing TSA style searches “for our own protection.”
There has also been a push to dump constitutional protections. The younger Tsarnaev brother is a naturalized US citizen. Incredibly, both liberals like Democratic Mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg and so-called conservative Senator Lindsay Graham recommended dumping constitutional rights and declaring this suspect an enemy combatant.
They may have to revert to that because federal investigators got the wounded Tsarnaev brother to admit to a lot of things before they read him his Miranda rights. Now he isn’t talking. His lawyer is going to have a field day with the fed’s violation of his rights. But, I suspect the courts may take up the call of Bloomberg and Graham and allow it due to this high profile event. Truly these people never let a “good crisis go to waste.”
Even the Canadian government is using the terror attack to accelerate passage of its version of the NDAA authorization of indefinite detention. The Globe and Mail said,

The Harper government is using the Boston Marathon bombing to expedite the passage of a relatively slow-moving bill that would restrict civil liberties in the name of fighting terrorism. The Conservative have cleared time in their legislative agenda Monday and Tuesday to conduct third-reading debate on S-7, legislation that would authorize police to pre-emptively detain Canadians and hold them for up to three days without charging them.

Did the Tsarnaev brothers do it? I do believe they were involved in a plot that day, and had some role, but there are many possibilities that need to be probed. Were they part of a larger group and specifically set up to take the entire blame? I’m certain they were. Were there present in this larger group FBI agent provocateurs who directed the planning, and provided sophisticated equipment like the trigger mechanisms? I think that such direction was present.
FBI agent provocateurs (who the Bureau always labels merely as “informants” but who actually actively encourage and direct terrorist acts) have been involved in guiding the activities of every Muslim terrorist prosecuted since 9/11, with the possible exception of the amateurish Times Square bomb that fizzled.
It is amazing that there has not been more blowback (unintended effects of a black operation) from the revelations of this bombing. A real media discussion of this event would cast a negative light on our support of Syria’s Islamist rebels. Instead it looks like the PTB will try to push us over the edge by engaging more directly in the conflict.

Even though the government has honed in on two brothers of Chechen origin, one of which is now dead in a shootout with police, it is too early to tell who the government is going to ultimately blame for this latest terror attack on innocent civilians. Not a few media pundits have been quick to cast suspicions on domestic terrorism from right wing Americans—at the same time failing to acknowledge that the American Right has never had anything to gain by attacking innocent civilians. These two suspects will now add significant intrigue to the story, being from the disputed and war-torn area south of Russia which has been the source of both Islamic terror and Russian false flag terror blamed on the Chechens.

Joel Skousen: Downplaying the Abortion Crimes — The liberal media has long protected the grizzly abortion clinics from public scrutiny, both to keep information from those championing cause of protecting the unborn but also to keep women ignorant of the dangers of abortion procedures

DOWNPLAYING THE ABORTION CRIMES
The liberal media has long protected the grizzly abortion clinics from public scrutiny—both to keep information from those championing cause of protecting the unborn but also to keep women ignorant of the dangers of abortion procedures. The establishment press has been loath to give much coverage to the prosecution of an abortion doctor, Kermit Gosnell, whose crimes are not just against the unborn. Jonathan Capehart wrote that,

“If witness testimony and a grand jury’s report are true, Kermit Gosnell is a serial killer, a monster who preyed on women of color in desperate situations and an alleged killer of infants who might have survived outside the womb had he not “snipped” them.”

To make matters worse, Gosnell’s bloody business was allowed to persist because of widespread neglect by and silence from public officials and institutions that had the power to stop the evil that allegedly ran rampant at the “Women’s Medical Society” in West Philadelphia.

As the Atlantic.com wrote:

The Pennsylvania Department of Health makes it next to impossible to file a complaint concerning abortion providers. … When persistent lawyers, like Semika Shaw’s; and doctors, such as Dr. Hellman, the Medical Examiner from Delaware County, and Dr. Schwarz, Philadelphia’s Health Commissioner, have registered complaints anyway, they have been uniformly ignored. DOH did not inspect Gosnell’s clinic even after Karnamaya Mongar died.

In other words, there is a systematic protection racket among liberals for abortion—to protect it at all costs in order to preserve this one major out for escaping the consequences of rampant immorality in America. Capehart continues: “The opening paragraph of the case overview from the grand jury report sums it up:

This case is about a doctor who killed babies and endangered women. What we mean is that he regularly and illegally delivered live, viable, babies in the third trimester of pregnancy – and then murdered these newborns by severing their spinal cords with scissors. The medical practice by which he carried out this business was a filthy fraud in which he overdosed his patients with dangerous drugs, spread venereal disease among them with infected instruments, perforated their wombs and bowels – and, on at least two occasions, caused their deaths. Over the years, many people came to know that something was going on here. But no one put a stop to it.

Gosnell was approved to provide abortion services after an on-site inspection in 1979. There were other site reviews in 1989, 1992 and 1993. Violations were noted at each of those visits. Nothing was done to ensure they were corrected. Complaints about Gosnell from injured women, a doctor and even a medical examiner went unheeded by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, the Department of State and the Philadelphia Department of Public Health.

Ultimately, the conspiracy of silence on Gosnell lies not with the press [It lies with everyone who sought to downplay this horror]. It lies with the workers at the clinic who allegedly participated in barbarous acts or allegedly watched them happen and said nothing. It lies with members of the community who knew about the alleged deplorable activity and conditions at “Women’s Medical Society” and said nothing. And it lies with Philadelphia and Pennsylvania officials who fielded numerous credible complaints about Gosnell and did nothing.

BOSTON MARATHON BOMBING CRIES OUT FOR ANSWERS

Even though the government has honed in on two brothers of Chechen origin, one of which is now dead in a shootout with police, it is too early to tell who the government is going to ultimately blame for this latest terror attack on innocent civilians. Not a few media pundits have been quick to cast suspicions on domestic terrorism from right wing Americans—at the same time failing to acknowledge that the American Right has never had anything to gain by attacking innocent civilians. These two suspects will now add significant intrigue to the story, being from the disputed and war-torn area south of Russia which has been the source of both Islamic terror and Russian false flag terror blamed on the Chechens. There is no shortage of suspicious activity and interesting evidence in this unfolding drama.

There were a lot mistakes in reporting as this story unfolded. The big story right after the explosions was that of numerous other unexploded bombs found around the marathon route. None of these turned out to be bombs, but rather the police picking up all the stray packages or backpacks left behind and treating them as if they were bombs. As Reuters said,

Dispelling earlier reports of as many as seven devices being found around Boston, Gene Marquez, assistant special agent in charge for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, said authorities had determined that the only bombs deployed in the attack were the two that detonated shortly before 3 p.m. ET on Monday.

Any unexploded device might have provided a clearer picture of what materials were used and how the bomb was assembled, furnishing leads in the case, but it was not to be. There were also reports from CNN and other news agencies that the police had someone in custody, but those reports had to be retracted after police denials.

False Claims: There was a posting to the internet of a false conspiracy claiming that a previous episode of The Family Guy had shown a guy sitting at a table triggering bombs to go off at the Boston Marathon by using his cell phone. In reality it was someone cutting and pasting excerpts from the TV show to make it look like foreknowledge of the current disaster.

Someone even tried to merge another bogus conspiracy claim (that the Sandy Hook school shooting never took place) into the Boston Marathon tragedy by posting an old photo of the principal with a new banner placing her at the Marathon. It was photoshoped. http://wafflesatnoon.com/2013/04/17/sandy-hook-boston-marathon-victim/

There was another one where someone posted a rant by Bill Cosby saying how tired he was of all the things government is doing. Trouble is, Cosby never wrote it. It was all falsely attributed to him, and yet it got passed around the internet to millions.

It is very disturbing that there are so many professional disinformation artists out there on the internet spending time to create false images and fake claims aimed at conservatives who believe in conspiracy—to make them look stupid when they are debunked. So, whenever some claim seems too-good-to-be-true, beware about passing it on unless you check it out first.

There is another false theory making the rounds in the wake of the Texas Fertilizer Plant explosion—a video where someone thinks a missile comes in from the left just before the plant explodes. See it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDP8pRRsh1s&feature=endscreen However, it is not a missile. Missiles don’t have that big of a flame signature coming in—not even close. What I believe we are seeing is the explosion beginning on the rail line (Ammonium Nitrate is stored in rail cars) behind the factory fire. The explosion starts left to right behind the smoke, and you see only the light flash bursting out from the left of the smoke and then progressing back to the right—giving the impression of left to right movement. I don’t think this video is mischief, just people jumping to the wrong conclusion.

Here are the current issues of legitimate controversy in this Marathon investigation:

1) Were Boston Police running a bomb exercise during the marathon race? The City of Boston says “no” but witnesses say there were bomb sniffing dogs at both the start and finish lines and cops were seen manning rooftops of buildings. This is an important issue, because an exercise allows for the planting of practice or “fake” bombs—supposedly as part of the exercise—that may turn out to be real bombs, as I explain later. The local TV station-15 ran this interview which clearly contradicts the official denial by city officials:

University of Mobile’s Cross Country Coach, who was near the finish line of the Boston Marathon when a series of explosions went off, said he thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines. “They kept making announcements to the participants do not worry, it’s just a training exercise.”

[Alastair] Stevenson said he saw law enforcement spotters on the roofs at the start of the race. He’s been in plenty of marathons in Chicago, D.C., London and other major metropolitan areas but has never seen that level of security before. “Evidently, I don’t believe they were just having a training exercise,” Stevenson said. “I think they must have had some sort of threat or suspicion called in.”

So, there is at least one credible witness to the word “exercise” heard from the police themselves. I don’t understand why the reluctance to admit to running an exercise, unless the placing of a fake bomb for “training purposes” turned out to be the real thing, and police don’t want that connection being made. There was a similar reluctance on the part of the federal government to admit they were running a simulation of hijacked aircraft targeting the White House on September 11th—which raised no few suspicions about government foreknowledge of that tragedy.

2) Did anyone receive warnings in the Marathon about an upcoming attack? CNN, the perennial mouthpiece of government, reports a state government official said there were no credible threats before the race, but that isn’t true. There are two so far—one quite credible and another not so credible, but noteworthy because they really happened.

Rob Dew, a reporter for Infowars.com has a brother-in-law who ran the Boston marathon. The in-law works in domestic intelligence for the US Army (DIA). According to Dew,

“He was in position to finish the race at about the time of the bombing [but was] pulled from the race by military superiors and sent to a hospital to be treated for dehydration even though he thought he could have finished the race.”

Alex Jones compared this to Mayor Willie Brown being told by Condoleeza Rice not to fly on 9/11—solid evidence that some in government had foreknowledge about the impending attacks.

The Squamish Chief reported that:

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.

3) What about the forensic evidence of the blast? First, a low grade explosive was used which gave off a red/orange flame and grayish/white smoke. High grade explosives like C4 or Semtex (plastic explosive) give off a bright white light signature in large quantities (no light flash at all in small quantities) and black smoke. C4 and Semtex explosives are also manufactured with tracking chemicals so the origin of the blast can be traced. The use of low grade explosives could lead investigators to the suspect that amateurs were involved, but as the Washington Post pointed out, that isn’t at all conclusive:

The simple bomb design could imply that the maker was an amateur, incapable of acquiring more sophisticated materials, veteran investigators and forensics experts said. But they said it also could be the work of a sophisticated bomb maker taking great care to cover his tracks. “He might deliberately choose to use a less sophisticated device because he knows the explosives will be harder to trace.”

The deformed lid of a pressure cooker was found in the debris as well as a battery and some wires, leading investigators to hypothesize that a pressure cooker was used to contain the bomb materials, which included ball bearings, nails and other shrapnel producing materials. This is a common homemade bomb design and plans are readily available on the internet. The remnants of a black backpack with a white tag on top and some light colored striping on the shoulder straps was also found in the debris, leading to the conclusion that the pressure cooker was hidden in that kind of backpack. You’ll see this backpack remnant in some of the photo links below.

Triggering the blast is not as easy as putting together a bomb out of gunpowder—which is the suspected explosive media since it is readily available at gun stores for reloading. A true amateur would most likely have used a simple timing device as the trigger, but sophisticated bombers could use cell phones to explode the device remotely. However, this type of trigger takes more sophisticated manipulation of cell phone electronics. Police are checking out cell phone calls that were made at the exact time the bomb went off, but sophisticated bombers would know to use a throw-away cell phone which is harder to trace.

4) What about Suspects? Because this crime occurred in a public area covered by a few commercial security cameras, both private and government investigators are pouring over the films and still shots looking for persons with large black backpacks in the crowds, and in particular, looking for the same persons exiting the area without a backpack.

Someone posted their private work to infowars.com after combing through the video evidence around the point of the blast. It is pretty interesting: Take a look here: http://www.infowars.com/boston-bombing-culprits-found/

There are a lot of people with backpacks in the crowd, but only a few are really suspicious because of their size and bulk. Most ordinary tourist or runner’s backpacks are teardrop shaped and don’t look more than half filled. But a few visible backpacks look huge—like their owners are headed for a 3-day campout rather than just a trip downtown.

Some of those with large packs are together and look like military guys with short haircuts and wearing remarkably similar military-style pants and boots. They have large bulky jackets on and very large, full backpacks that are of particular interest. Both look like their oversized jackets conceal body armor underneath. One is wearing a dark ball cap with a white “Punisher” skull on it—also a logo for Craft International, a weapons training outfit started by former Navy Seal sniper Chris Kyle. It is also reportedly a popular logo among various Navy Seal teams and Army Special Forces troops.

After the explosion, two of these men are both seen in the middle of the street near ambulances and first responders talking on cell phones but not moving to assist or help as normal security guys would be expected to do. What’s in the oversized backpacks both are wearing? If they were private security contractors and part of the police bomb exercise, you would expect them to be undoing their packs and bringing out first aid kits or helping the bomb squads, but instead, nothing. These are the kinds of people police should be questioning or at least give the public an explanation about them.

Some of the pictures sent to Infowars.com and also emphasized by the New York Post focus on two young men, one with a unique white ball cap and sunglasses who is carrying a large bulging pack. In a subsequent picture the guy in the white hat does not have his pack on. I will note, however, that markings on the exploded back pack (white label on top and white strips of cloth on the straps) did not match the pack of the guy in the white hat whose backpack was no longer with him. A subsequent news story, however, revealed the man in the white ball cap to be an innocent teen who came forward after seeing his picture so talked about.

The markings on the exploded pack could, however, match the top white patch on the packs of the military guys standing around watching, as well as the bag of a bearded guy in a blue coat, whose pack is visible in a few pictures, hanging off of his arm. Two of the military types can be seen still with their packs on after the bombings but a third with similar pants and shoes is seen near the finish line without a pack holding some kind of handheld electronic device like an oversized remote control.

Of course, this discussion begs the question, could any former military man or Navy Seal participate in a wanton massacre of civilians? I think that’s a fair question, and I think the answer will largely be “No.” Although there are guys in the military that go bad, Navy Seals or Special Forces guys hardly ever fall into that category. They may not always be moral in their conduct with women and vices, but they are a cut above the rest in training, pride and emotional stability. I know of none who have become psychotic or such yes-men to government that they would knowingly do something like this.

That said, there are ways that evil perpetrators in black operations can get military or police types to go along, unwittingly, in a false-flag attack. The fact that there really was a bomb training exercise going on during the marathon may give us a clue. To make the bomb exercise realistic, it is highly probably that certain persons would be tasked to dress like civilians and plant “fake” explosives, dropping them off in various street locations—to see if the bomb sniffing dogs could detect them.

If one or two of those backpacks turned out to have real explosives in them, the exercise participants who did the planting of the packs could still have been totally innocent and as surprised as anyone that a bomb went off. Obviously, they would begin to ask questions about how a real bomb got planted in the backpack they were told was a fake, and that’s where the official suppression would begin in private.

Dumb anti-conspiracy commentators responding to articles on Infowars.com continue to ridicule the clues pointing to conspiracy in the mistaken assumption that everyone in the Boston Police Department must have known about the plot and keeping them all silent would be impossible. These commentators obviously haven’t thought through how conspiracies operate and why they can be pulled off without many knowing the whole story. They also don’t understand how much pressure can be brought to bear on government, police or military employees who do see bad things, keeping them silent about official misconduct.

That’s why it is important to get to the bottom of the City’s denial of any exercise, and to talk with these military types with large backpacks to see if they were part of such an exercise and find out how this exercised was planned and what was in their backpacks.

5) What about the Two Suspects the FBI is alerting the public to? The FBI has posted pictures and videos of two possible suspects walking around together with backpacks. http://www.fbi.gov/news/updates-on-investigation-into-multiple-explosions-in-boston/updates-on-investigation-into-multiple-explosions-in-boston

The FBI says the one in the white hat (worn backwards—not the same guy with the white cap noted previously) dropped his backpack at the location where one of the bombs went off. The trouble I have with this is that the backpack he is wearing is white with some black trim which doesn’t match the picture of the black bag blown open at one site. Even a speculated gray and brown heap near a trash can, shown before the other explosion, does not match the white backpack. The other suspect shown in the FBI release has a dark pack on but it does not have lighter stripes on the shoulder straps or a white badge/wrap on the top handle—so neither pack matches the picture of the pack involved in the actual bombing.

The FBI spokesperson strangely cautions the public not to rely on any other pictures or analysis but to only search for these two. Given the mismatching packs seen in the pictures, I find these improper directions by the government. This case is far from decided, but it appears the government has found who they are going to blame.

Breaking news–Infowars.com is usually first to get breaking news out on the net:

Within hours of the FBI naming two culprits in the Boston bombings while aggressively demanding that no attention be focused on any other potential suspects, police found themselves engaged in a deadly shootout with the two individuals, killing one while the other remains on the run.

“Two men identified by law enforcement sources as the Boston Marathon attack suspects — armed with explosives and guns — battled authorities in a Boston suburb early Friday morning, unleashing chaos until cops took one of the men into custody, and the other fled, the sources said. Officials later said the suspect taken into custody died,” reports NBC News.

Eyewitnesses said the suspects set off grenades to try to fight off police and that they also had what looked like backpacks and a “pressure cooker bomb,” matching the explosive device used in the Marathon bombings.

The standoff erupted shortly after a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer was shot dead after he investigated a disturbance on campus. Some have speculated that the suspects were preparing to attack the University.

One of the alleged culprits has been named by 4chan researchers as Sunil Tripathi, a student who has been missing from his Philadelphia apartment since March 16. It is believed that Tripathi, seen wearing a white hat in the FBI photos, is still on the run while his alleged accomplice is the one who was shot dead by police.

NBC news just reported that the two bombing suspects are brothers, aged 19 and 20, and legal permanent U.S. residents of Chechen origin. That could really put an interesting spin on things. Even worse, the remaining brother with the backwards white cap is sporting a Hiter-style mustache!

I don’t know if the government is going to make anything of it, but it might lead to claims of a Neo-Nazi plot. Virtually every Neo-Nazi group exposed by the FBI and the Southern Poverty Law Conference has been either started by or infiltrated and controlled by FBI agent provocateurs—the most prominent example being the now extinct Aryan Nations in Idaho.

And this just in: a subscriber who works at Beth Israel hospital (where Suspect #1 died) said, “The hospital is locked down, the parking lot (also for employees) was locked down. No one, not even badged essential employees can go in or out. I was denied parking or entrance. I had to turn around and go home. The roads leading to the medical district are almost totally devoid of traffic. A bit extreme?”

Indeed. Government is taking these kinds of extreme measure more often now. Looks like people are so compliant, they won’t have to use troops to impose martial law someday—they’ll just announce it and everyone will comply!

6) What about the young wounded Saudi who was taken into custody? This has provided a tempting conspiracy theory for the internet, especially since the guy was being quickly deported out of the country upon demand of the Saudi embassy. Here’s Joseph Paul Watson of Infowars.com:

The Saudi “person of interest” suspected of being involved in the Boston Marathon bombings is being deported from the United States next week on “national security grounds,” according to a terrorism expert, who notes that the move is “very unusual,” especially given an unscheduled meeting yesterday between President Obama and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal.

According to terrorism expert Steve Emerson, 20-year-old Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, the Saudi national first suspected of being involved in Monday’s twin bomb attack, is being hastily deported. Alharbi was put under armed guard in hospital after the bombing, was visited by Saudi diplomat Azzam bin Abdel Karim, and later had his apartment raided by federal and state law enforcement agents.

“That’s very interesting because this is the way things are done with Saudi Arabia. You don’t arrest their citizens. You deport them, because they don’t want them to be embarrassed and that’s the way we appease them,” Emerson told host Sean Hannity.

The special relationship that explains all of this is the deal our government made with the Saudis at the formation of OPEC: in essence, “always provide us oil and accept only dollars for payment and we’ll protect your regime from overthrow and cover for your indiscretions.” The Saudis in return have become hostage to US protection by acceding to all demands of the US to fund whatever radical Islamists the US is backing under the umbrella of al Qaeda. It is little wonder that most of the protected terrorists the US brought in to do the dirty deed on 9/11 were Saudis—as far as we know. Some of the names may have been false, since some are reportedly still alive.

Allowing of the young Saudi to leave is also strangely reminiscent of the US allowing bin Laden’s relatives to all leave the US right after the 9/11 attacks even though no US citizen was allowed to fly. Watson then quotes World Net Daily’s Joe Kovacs who tries to make the connection with the young Saudi’s last name and known al Qaeda operatives:

“Saudi student Alharbi shares the same last name as a major Saudi clan that includes scores of al-Qaida operatives.” The Alharbi clan has long been active in al-Qaida. Khaled bin Ouda bin Mohammed al-Harbi, for example, is a Saudi national who joined Osama bin Laden’s mujahadeen group in the 1980s. He reportedly became an al-Qaida member in the mid-1990s. He turned himself in to Saudi authorities in 2004 as part of an amnesty deal.

But there’s a major problem with this neocon analysis always using al Qaeda as the enemy—al Qaeda is a US controlled black operation group at the top levels and has been ever since the CIA created and funded the Mujahidin through Operation “Gladio B” during the cold war. That doesn’t mean every al Qaeda terrorist knows who funds and controls them. Leaders do hire actual terrorists to do controlled terror operations, but you never really know who is working for the CIA or ignorant of its control—even by whom the CIA prosecutes.

At this stage of the US phony war on terror, it would be a bit dangerous for the US to come out and blame this on an Islamist terrorist. As Watson analyzes in the same Infowars article,

Given the fact that the Obama administration has sent more than half a billion dollars and the CIA is shipping weapons to FSA rebels in Syria who pledged allegiance to and are led by Al-Qaeda militants, the notion that one of these militants would carry out an attack on U.S. soil would be extremely damaging to the White House.

Who Might Get the Blame: With the two main subjects being Chechan, this blame could be shifted to any number of movements, from the American Right (if the two brothers turn out to be Neo Nazis) or even to the Russians (because of their involvement in Chechen terror). This could be spun any number of ways. Some news outlets are speculating that these two are Muslims and that they had military training before they came here—but that is unlikely since they would have been young teens. Those kinds of statement indicate a proclivity to point the blame overseas.

But one thing is for sure—they’ve been under the training of someone since coming to the US. They didn’t just hatch a plan like this on their own, especially given the degree of firepower they used against police in the chase last night. One report said they were using hand grenades, which are not easy to come by unless you have sources in the black markets. There is probably a wider conspiracy here. I suspect that these two are patsies brought into the scheme and set up to take the blame. If they both turn up dead, we might never know the truth. Dead men don’t tell tales.

Sadly, this incident will only perpetuate the government’s excuse to use terror to keep Americans believing that they have to keep giving up essential liberties in order to be secure. Obama even said so this week—warning that there will be other terrorist attacks, when he spoke at a news conference. Strangely, many could not help but notice that he never looked directly at the audience. He looked down, sideways, up, but never forwards—a textbook sign of someone who knows he’s dissembling.

Other liberals in public schools are also pushing this deadly and evil doctrine. Aaron Harvey a parent in Florida was outraged when he found out a 4th grade teacher had invited a liberal attorney to his son’s class in public school and both had instructed each of the students to write down the following words:

“I am willing to give up some of my constitutional rights in order to be safer or more secure.”

Whatever the official investigation comes up with in Boston, I believe the long term effect of this senseless and evil bombing will be more money and more personnel thrown at Homeland Security—to match their new $4 billion headquarters in DC. DHS is destined to be our biggest internal police force, and threat to liberty. We may now see a much higher law enforcement presence in major sporting events and marathon races. It will slowly acclimate Americans into accepting an all-surveilling, “show me your ID” society.

Because this crime occurred in a public area covered by a few commercial security cameras, both private and government investigators are pouring over the films and still shots looking for persons with large black backpacks in the crowds, and in particular, looking for the same persons exiting the area without a backpack.
Someone posted their private work to infowars.com after combing through the video evidence around the point of the blast. It is pretty interesting: Take a look here: http://www.infowars.com/boston-bombing-culprits-found/
There are a lot of people with backpacks in the crowd, but only a few are really suspicious because of their size and bulk. Most ordinary tourist or runner’s backpacks are teardrop shaped and don’t look more than half filled. But a few visible backpacks look huge—like their owners are headed for a 3-day campout rather than just a trip downtown.
Some of those with large packs are together and look like military guys with short haircuts and wearing remarkably similar military-style pants and boots. They have large bulky jackets on and very large, full backpacks that are of particular interest. Both look like their oversized jackets conceal body armor underneath. One is wearing a dark ball cap with a white “Punisher” skull on it—also a logo for Craft International, a weapons training outfit started by former Navy Seal sniper Chris Kyle. It is also reportedly a popular logo among various Navy Seal teams and Army Special Forces troops.
After the explosion, two of these men are both seen in the middle of the street near ambulances and first responders talking on cell phones but not moving to assist or help as normal security guys would be expected to do. What’s in the oversized backpacks both are wearing? If they were private security contractors and part of the police bomb exercise, you would expect them to be undoing their packs and bringing out first aid kits or helping the bomb squads, but instead, nothing. These are the kinds of people police should be questioning or at least give the public an explanation about them.
Some of the pictures sent to Infowars.com and also emphasized by the New York Post focus on two young men, one with a unique white ball cap and sunglasses who is carrying a large bulging pack. In a subsequent picture the guy in the white hat does not have his pack on. I will note, however, that markings on the exploded back pack (white label on top and white strips of cloth on the straps) did not match the pack of the guy in the white hat whose backpack was no longer with him. A subsequent news story, however, revealed the man in the white ball cap to be an innocent teen who came forward after seeing his picture so talked about.
The markings on the exploded pack could, however, match the top white patch on the packs of the military guys standing around watching, as well as the bag of a bearded guy in a blue coat, whose pack is visible in a few pictures, hanging off of his arm. Two of the military types can be seen still with their packs on after the bombings but a third with similar pants and shoes is seen near the finish line without a pack holding some kind of handheld electronic device like an oversized remote control.
Of course, this discussion begs the question, could any former military man or Navy Seal participate in a wanton massacre of civilians? I think that’s a fair question, and I think the answer will largely be “No.” Although there are guys in the military that go bad, Navy Seals or Special Forces guys hardly ever fall into that category. They may not always be moral in their conduct with women and vices, but they are a cut above the rest in training, pride and emotional stability. I know of none who have become psychotic or such yes-men to government that they would knowingly do something like this.
That said, there are ways that evil perpetrators in black operations can get military or police types to go along, unwittingly, in a false-flag attack. The fact that there really was a bomb training exercise going on during the marathon may give us a clue. To make the bomb exercise realistic, it is highly probably that certain persons would be tasked to dress like civilians and plant “fake” explosives, dropping them off in various street locations—to see if the bomb sniffing dogs could detect them.
If one or two of those backpacks turned out to have real explosives in them, the exercise participants who did the planting of the packs could still have been totally innocent and as surprised as anyone that a bomb went off. Obviously, they would begin to ask questions about how a real bomb got planted in the backpack they were told was a fake, and that’s where the official suppression would begin in private.
Dumb anti-conspiracy commentators responding to articles on Infowars.com continue to ridicule the clues pointing to conspiracy in the mistaken assumption that everyone in the Boston Police Department must have known about the plot and keeping them all silent would be impossible. These commentators obviously haven’t thought through how conspiracies operate and why they can be pulled off without many knowing the whole story. They also don’t understand how much pressure can be brought to bear on government, police or military employees who do see bad things, keeping them silent about official misconduct.
That’s why it is important to get to the bottom of the City’s denial of any exercise, and to talk with these military types with large backpacks to see if they were part of such an exercise and find out how this exercised was planned and what was in their backpacks.
5) What about the Two Suspects the FBI is alerting the public to? The FBI has posted pictures and videos of two possible suspects walking around together with backpacks. http://www.fbi.gov/news/updates-on-investigation-into-multiple-explosions-in-boston/updates-on-investigation-into-multiple-explosions-in-boston
The FBI says the one in the white hat (worn backwards—not the same guy with the white cap noted previously) dropped his backpack at the location where one of the bombs went off. The trouble I have with this is that the backpack he is wearing is white with some black trim which doesn’t match the picture of the black bag blown open at one site. Even a speculated gray and brown heap near a trash can, shown before the other explosion, does not match the white backpack. The other suspect shown in the FBI release has a dark pack on but it does not have lighter stripes on the shoulder straps or a white badge/wrap on the top handle—so neither pack matches the picture of the pack involved in the actual bombing.
The FBI spokesperson strangely cautions the public not to rely on any other pictures or analysis but to only search for these two. Given the mismatching packs seen in the pictures, I find these improper directions by the government. This case is far from decided, but it appears the government has found who they are going to blame.
Breaking news–Infowars.com is usually first to get breaking news out on the net:

Within hours of the FBI naming two culprits in the Boston bombings while aggressively demanding that no attention be focused on any other potential suspects, police found themselves engaged in a deadly shootout with the two individuals, killing one while the other remains on the run.

“Two men identified by law enforcement sources as the Boston Marathon attack suspects — armed with explosives and guns — battled authorities in a Boston suburb early Friday morning, unleashing chaos until cops took one of the men into custody, and the other fled, the sources said. Officials later said the suspect taken into custody died,” reports NBC News.

Eyewitnesses said the suspects set off grenades to try to fight off police and that they also had what looked like backpacks and a “pressure cooker bomb,” matching the explosive device used in the Marathon bombings.

The standoff erupted shortly after a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer was shot dead after he investigated a disturbance on campus. Some have speculated that the suspects were preparing to attack the University.

One of the alleged culprits has been named by 4chan researchers as Sunil Tripathi, a student who has been missing from his Philadelphia apartment since March 16. It is believed that Tripathi, seen wearing a white hat in the FBI photos, is still on the run while his alleged accomplice is the one who was shot dead by police.

NBC news just reported that the two bombing suspects are brothers, aged 19 and 20, and legal permanent U.S. residents of Chechen origin. That could really put an interesting spin on things. Even worse, the remaining brother with the backwards white cap is sporting a Hiter-style mustache!
I don’t know if the government is going to make anything of it, but it might lead to claims of a Neo-Nazi plot. Virtually every Neo-Nazi group exposed by the FBI and the Southern Poverty Law Conference has been either started by or infiltrated and controlled by FBI agent provocateurs—the most prominent example being the now extinct Aryan Nations in Idaho.
And this just in: a subscriber who works at Beth Israel hospital (where Suspect #1 died) said, “The hospital is locked down, the parking lot (also for employees) was locked down. No one, not even badged essential employees can go in or out. I was denied parking or entrance. I had to turn around and go home. The roads leading to the medical district are almost totally devoid of traffic. A bit extreme?”
Indeed. Government is taking these kinds of extreme measure more often now. Looks like people are so compliant, they won’t have to use troops to impose martial law someday—they’ll just announce it and everyone will comply!
6) What about the young wounded Saudi who was taken into custody? This has provided a tempting conspiracy theory for the internet, especially since the guy was being quickly deported out of the country upon demand of the Saudi embassy. Here’s Joseph Paul Watson of Infowars.com:

The Saudi “person of interest” suspected of being involved in the Boston Marathon bombings is being deported from the United States next week on “national security grounds,” according to a terrorism expert, who notes that the move is “very unusual,” especially given an unscheduled meeting yesterday between President Obama and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal.

According to terrorism expert Steve Emerson, 20-year-old Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, the Saudi national first suspected of being involved in Monday’s twin bomb attack, is being hastily deported. Alharbi was put under armed guard in hospital after the bombing, was visited by Saudi diplomat Azzam bin Abdel Karim, and later had his apartment raided by federal and state law enforcement agents.

“That’s very interesting because this is the way things are done with Saudi Arabia. You don’t arrest their citizens. You deport them, because they don’t want them to be embarrassed and that’s the way we appease them,” Emerson told host Sean Hannity.

The special relationship that explains all of this is the deal our government made with the Saudis at the formation of OPEC: in essence, “always provide us oil and accept only dollars for payment and we’ll protect your regime from overthrow and cover for your indiscretions.” The Saudis in return have become hostage to US protection by acceding to all demands of the US to fund whatever radical Islamists the US is backing under the umbrella of al Qaeda. It is little wonder that most of the protected terrorists the US brought in to do the dirty deed on 9/11 were Saudis—as far as we know. Some of the names may have been false, since some are reportedly still alive.
Allowing of the young Saudi to leave is also strangely reminiscent of the US allowing bin Laden’s relatives to all leave the US right after the 9/11 attacks even though no US citizen was allowed to fly. Watson then quotes World Net Daily’s Joe Kovacs who tries to make the connection with the young Saudi’s last name and known al Qaeda operatives:

“Saudi student Alharbi shares the same last name as a major Saudi clan that includes scores of al-Qaida operatives.” The Alharbi clan has long been active in al-Qaida. Khaled bin Ouda bin Mohammed al-Harbi, for example, is a Saudi national who joined Osama bin Laden’s mujahadeen group in the 1980s. He reportedly became an al-Qaida member in the mid-1990s. He turned himself in to Saudi authorities in 2004 as part of an amnesty deal.

But there’s a major problem with this neocon analysis always using al Qaeda as the enemy—al Qaeda is a US controlled black operation group at the top levels and has been ever since the CIA created and funded the Mujahidin through Operation “Gladio B” during the cold war. That doesn’t mean every al Qaeda terrorist knows who funds and controls them. Leaders do hire actual terrorists to do controlled terror operations, but you never really know who is working for the CIA or ignorant of its control—even by whom the CIA prosecutes.
At this stage of the US phony war on terror, it would be a bit dangerous for the US to come out and blame this on an Islamist terrorist. As Watson analyzes in the same Infowars article,

Given the fact that the Obama administration has sent more than half a billion dollars and the CIA is shipping weapons to FSA rebels in Syria who pledged allegiance to and are led by Al-Qaeda militants, the notion that one of these militants would carry out an attack on U.S. soil would be extremely damaging to the White House.

Who Might Get the Blame: With the two main subjects being Chechan, this blame could be shifted to any number of movements, from the American Right (if the two brothers turn out to be Neo Nazis) or even to the Russians (because of their involvement in Chechen terror). This could be spun any number of ways. Some news outlets are speculating that these two are Muslims and that they had military training before they came here—but that is unlikely since they would have been young teens. Those kinds of statement indicate a proclivity to point the blame overseas.
But one thing is for sure—they’ve been under the training of someone since coming to the US. They didn’t just hatch a plan like this on their own, especially given the degree of firepower they used against police in the chase last night. One report said they were using hand grenades, which are not easy to come by unless you have sources in the black markets. There is probably a wider conspiracy here. I suspect that these two are patsies brought into the scheme and set up to take the blame. If they both turn up dead, we might never know the truth. Dead men don’t tell tales.
Sadly, this incident will only perpetuate the government’s excuse to use terror to keep Americans believing that they have to keep giving up essential liberties in order to be secure. Obama even said so this week—warning that there will be other terrorist attacks, when he spoke at a news conference. Strangely, many could not help but notice that he never looked directly at the audience. He looked down, sideways, up, but never forwards—a textbook sign of someone who knows he’s dissembling.
Other liberals in public schools are also pushing this deadly and evil doctrine. Aaron Harvey a parent in Florida was outraged when he found out a 4th grade teacher had invited a liberal attorney to his son’s class in public school and both had instructed each of the students to write down the following words:

“I am willing to give up some of my constitutional rights in order to be safer or more secure.”

Whatever the official investigation comes up with in Boston, I believe the long term effect of this senseless and evil bombing will be more money and more personnel thrown at Homeland Security—to match their new $4 billion headquarters in DC. DHS is destined to be our biggest internal police force, and threat to liberty. We may now see a much higher law enforcement presence in major sporting events and marathon races. It will slowly acclimate Americans into accepting an all-surveilling, “show me your ID” society.

False Claim: The Boston Marathon 'Family Guy' episode was doctored to look like Peter was triggering bombs

CORRECTION to this earlier post: Recent ‘Family Guy’ Episode Predicted Boston Marathon Attack — The image of Peter killing the Boston Marathon runners even shows blood and missing limbs
Joel Skousen just wrote in today’s World Affairs Brief [I love Joel’s dedication to finding and telling the truth no matter where it leads!]:

False Claims: There was a posting to the internet of a false conspiracy claiming that a previous episode of The Family Guy had shown a guy sitting at a table triggering bombs to go off at the Boston Marathon by using his cell phone. In reality it was someone cutting and pasting excerpts from the TV show to make it look like foreknowledge of the current disaster.

Infowars said the episode was pulled online. So they weren’t able to fact-check it. A Facebook friend just gave me this link to where at least it can now be seen. I don’t know if this site is affiliated with FOX or not: familyguy.ws/turban-cowboy
The phone call at minute-15 was spliced with Boston Marathon footage. It probably would be pretty easy to seamlessly and convincingly edit low def cartoons.
I apologize for the confusion. I’m completely leery of Rupert Murdoch and FOX. I’ve so many times seen them spin the good (like Ron Paul) to make it look like it’s evil, and then actually push the evil. I wrote the following article at ONEcanhappen about FOX’s owner, Rupert Murdoch and FOX: Is Murdoch’s NIV the ‘N’ew ‘I’lluminati ‘V’ersion? Has the Word of God Been Corrupted to Bring US Into the New World Order?, and have an entire category here at ToBeFree, called FOX News is SPIN Central (Latest posts appear first; 10 posts per page).
