Boston bombing

And for clarification, this is the photo that the Boston Police Commissioner said aroused their suspicion due to the fact that the guy looks calm.

Where's his backpack gone?

Well Pete, my gut feeling suggests that we may well be looking at a couple of guys being set up here.

Video and photos of the event prior to the explosions have shown a number of people carrying similar backpacks (and no, I'm not talking about the National Guard guys) who would appear to be every bit as worthy of investigation as the two brothers. However, within a very short space of time after the explosions we have the FBI saying that the photos of the brothers are the only ones that the public should concern themselves with - almost like they knew who they were going to pin it on from the start.

On the 60 minutes segment last night the Boston Police Commissioner said they viewed all the footage and immediately identified the younger brother as being of interest because he was running away from the blast area with a calm look on his face. If he's comfortable making that call from the photo he viewed then I don't see why anyone else should feel less comfortable over making any of their conspiracy claims.

As for the suggestion that the injured are actors, there's still a lot of unanswered questions in my mind. For a start there seems to be countless examples of torn clothing that don't appear to show any injury underneath. Was it perhaps a staged drill that hasn't gone entirely according to plan?

Maybe you're right - maybe not.

But regardless, I think it's time you glued on the foil helmet.

You have an imaginary friend, you're not in a position to poke fun about anyones beliefs.

Where's his backpack gone?

The cheep bloody backpack flew to pieces - go figure. He doesn't look half as concerned as those around him.

I'm not saying that he didn't leave a backpack behind Pete, I'm suggesting that the Police Commissioner's choice of words in the 60 Minutes interview saying "he aroused our suspicion due to the fact that he looked calm", is odd.

He didn't say "he aroused our suspicion because he now doesn't appear to have a backpack".

And in fact, all the other photos of this suspect show him with the backpack slung only over his right shoulder - which just happens to be the shoulder facing away from the camera in the photo that 'aroused suspicion'. Not necessarily conclusive evidence that he now doesn't have his backpack.

Unlike the guy in the MIT top. Or the guy standing to the right of frame. Or the bald guy in the doorway looking at the guy fiddling with his dick. Or the woman that looks like she's walking the dog and surrounding folk. Or the people in the background facing to where the explosion was. Hell of a gap between the suspect and the crowd behind him as I would have thought the pavement would have been jammed with people trying to get away.

I can already sense that no matter what anyone says or proves counter to the ‘something stinks’ conspiracy thinkers – the response will be something about being a complacent sheeple or some such trite rubbish. Sorry but I trend very much towards the official line here.

Basically it comes down to this. Either you have to have some faith in western democracy or you have zero trust. Having zero trust is becoming a popular stance and is likely to end in tears. This is not to say that governments – or at least people who hold high office - are always truthful. They have been proved to be liars time and time again.

HOWEVER in cases like this – western governments are usually proved to be truthful or at least honestly mistaken. And that is utterly understandable given the difficulty in finding the guilty party in what is a fairly random act amongst a huge crowd of people. Sure one of these guys was on an alert list but it’s a bloody big list and not even the good old USA has the manpower to follow everyone on the list 24/7 or indeed the will to do so.

A drill that went wrong? A fit up of two innocent guys? Come off it – no way! One thing America breeds faster than heavily armed malcontents with a strong local school attraction is people willing to rat out the officials for their 15 minutes of network fame and a healthy appearance fee. Be it a cover up or a conspiracy SO MANY people would have to be involved there is NO WAY it could be kept secret.

Inconsistent injuries in a home made bomb blast? Yup - perfectly normal - its a home made bomb in a pot FFS - anything can happen... Even factory made bombs are not always consistent. Thats life - random shit happens if you have a large sample. People fall out of airplanes and survive without parachutes... I guess that given a large enough sample of humanity we will have enough conspiracy fans here as well (I suspect survivors from previous falls)

baaaaaaaa.

That guy looks to be holding his bag in front of him. Perhaps after retrieving something from it.

The woman in the bottom left corner of this photo is the same woman in the series of photos taken immediately after, and at the epicentre of, the blast.

She doesn't look overly traumatised for someone who's just been through what she has.

Or perhaps getting ready to discard it?

We'll never know.

You all do know that the proof that there is a conspriacy going on is that you can't see it ..

If you can see it ... it is not a conspiracy ...

(Jus' repeating what a conspiracy freak told me ...)

Because the FBI knew who they were looking for, thats why they (the FBI) were inside an apartment and removing personal belongings of whoever lived there, the night of the explosion.
Not everyone who was wearing a cap/backpack on the day was a suspect, the interest lay with two only.

Just an educated theory.
