Boston bombing

[Edbear]

Come on Ed, you're being deliberately dense.

Caseye's post stated that his munitions expert friend believed the explosion to be a gunpowder blast.

I have simply asked whether a gunpowder blast is the same thing as a flash powder blast.

Why don't you ask the conspiracy theorist?

[Katman]

Even a layman like me could tell the explosions weren't flash powder! How stupid do some people have to be to believe this garbage..?

So what do flash powder explosions look like Ed?

Shit Katman I have always rated you as a guy who makes comments that when you read what you are saying are inflammatory but often true.
However man what the fuck are you on about here .,people died mate this actually Is real life and it ain't funny.
What do you get out of claiming this? What is your actual point?

Claiming what? I haven't made any claims.

I've provided a link to a site that suggests that not all is as it seems.

If you're prepared to blindly accept everything the media tells you, that's your business.

Personally, if there are things that seem odd to me I prefer to ask questions.

So what's your take on things so far? Has anyone asked you that? I can't be arsed going through all 14 odd pages...

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?

an interesting view point and possibly not too far from the truth. I don't think they are being "set-up" as in they are innocent and being framed but would entertain the possibility that they are being "used".

As to the torn clothing there has already been outrage over a publication have cleaned up photos of an injured person so as not to shock there audience so this is one possible explanation and so is the point that clothing can sustain damage without the person wearing it being hurt as in people having their clothing "blown off" in explosions but surviving.

I would suspect they knew about these two before the event but, as with 9/11 they didn't consider them that great a risk until after the bombs went off and then they went looking for who on the risk list was there. Rather than the back packs identifying them as possible suspects more a case of possible suspects wearing pack backs of the type used and then seen to be running just before the bang.

yes there is more to this than we will be willingly told but I wouldn't go to USA Govt conspiracy to carry out the bombing. Conspiracy in trying to derive a benefit for a Govt Dept from a tragic event that has happened - possibly.

What's the matter Ed?

Is your monkey not capable of bashing out any words today?

There are no words left.

Quite possibly...

And the linky from the other thread... the original tracking back to Firehouse.com... Some eagle eyes have noted the sign below the lady on the gurney that says Firehouse Subs Well Done!

Something is stinky and it's the official story with 1 guy being dead and another being held for something I'm not overly convinced they did.

Truth is the first casualty of war

. Applies equally to all sides. I see no more truth in the conspiracies than the official story. As a whole the official story would be closest but not the whole nor nothing but the truth. Some parts of some of the other versions may flag holes in the official story.

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)

I imagine that blind faith in the integrity of western democracy is precisely what they're relying on.
