    Boston Bomber Beans



    Another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter an anti matter........

    First off, SMEG OFF to those of you who could donate 10,000 dollars, 100,000 dollars and a million dollars, and you come on this page and just feed here like a cancer. You can't be polite about it, as you then go off acting like you know things and pick and choose what you "think" in your unInspired souls as you can not fathom anything beyond what Limbaugh programmed into your skulls.

    You wouldn't miss that money, but it is people who should be spending 25 dollars on their daughters or it is people who donate 100 dollars as they appreciate what goes on here, as even if they do not comprehend everything in this parable, they at least have a CONSCIENCE they can hear when they should not be feeling any guilt at all.

    So you gold plunging rich beyond most people's dreams, smeg off. Get of this page and go back to your outer darkness where your dullness reflects what Mockingbird dims your bulb at.

    I have had it with your lurking and your Commandment breaking in false witness against the Lame Cherry. I know you are there with your cash wads and God knows your hell grip on it, so be gone, be off, and do not add to your sins as I only have place for those the Lord brought here, so smeg off as things here will be revealed......go listen to the sound of your money as that is your god.

    Apologies to my children for that, but I will not allow this ilk to benefit from your Lazarus donations while they toss crumbs to you and expect dog's tongues to be your doctors.

    There will not be much prose in this Boston bombing. It is one of the most one dimensional and non emotional of things.

    This is another manufactured crisis from the Holder cell. They knew from the start as it has been in the planning for months.

    The bomb was made in Massachusetts as the explosive originated in sales there. I have gone into enough detail here, in the Boston Bomb Party, to deal with bomb make up and why all of this points to a regime constructed event.

    This appears a "kinder and gentler" faux terrorism as they just desired to face punch people with a bomb concussion instead of shrapnel mauling hundreds to death.

    As this blog early questioned the shrapnel lack, the media and hospitals then started reporting digging ball bearings out of the injured. After Sandy Hook, I trust no media or medical reports, especially when the life digitals reveal no "buckshot" type injuries in anyone being shot by steel pellet.

    The numbers of dead were not what a typical bomb would be with shrapnel, in addition to the puzzling thing of bearings pulled out of bodies as at his range the metal balls should have passed through.

    The trash cans should have not been there and metal bits should of. One does not find individuals who build multiple bombs to overlook shrapnel in being concerned about murdering the Obama voter mob, unless of course those behind it desire effect in another liberal Connecticut state where some new law can be pushed through to maul Congress into action......one gets that by keeping the trash cans on streets where no security would ever allow it unless they desired an event to take place.

    It is in the smoke and the fire. Those bombs went vertical and not horizontal. They were meant to manufacture living victims as dead Sandy Hookers lose public sympathy appeal.

    Look for the BATF in this like Hutatree and Obama's space aliens from 2008 confessing to white's hating blacks to garner vote margin support.

    That explosive in that bomb, as first assessed here, looked to not be Anders Breivik in self manufacture, but appeared to be a manufactured powder, black powder.

    For a refresh in this, Bill Clinton after the Oklahoma City bombing, which has been proven to be a government run operation with moles supplying bomb parts, focused on "tagging all powders" with markers to make them trackable.
    Chandra (Levy) would easily be able to obtain this information pertaining to McVeigh, and more importantly, related inside information to the impending 9-11 attacks. Information such as the 1993 WTC bombing materials having been purchased with the credit card of a US Muslim and an FBI provocateur named Melvin Lattimore. Melvin Lattimore was seen by 4 witnesses in McVeigh’s car at the OKC Travelers Aid office adjacent to the Murrah federal building just ONE DAY before the OKC bombing. Six FBI agents spent 9 months browbeating the 4 witnesses, trying to make them change their story about seeing Lattimore at the Travelers Aid. Lattimore was the roommate of the 20th 9/11 hijacker Zacarias Moussaoui while he attended the Airman flight school in Norman Oklahoma in 2000 and 2001. Lattimore was also the roomate of 9/11 hijackers Al Hazmi and Al Shehhi in Norman Oklahoma. At McVeigh's trial his sister read a letter from him to the grand jury in which he told her he was going into the Special Forces Covert Tactical Unit.

    To explain this....

    Janet Napolitano has been buying ammunition like she plans to start half a dozen wars in America. She is depleting ammunition stores in America and driving up prices. It is an ammunition grab in plain sight.

    There is a segment of people not yet touched by the Obama cartel gun grab, and this reloaders, who stockpile bullets, primers, ammuntion and cases. A smaller segment are the muzzle loader groups how have no ammunition as they pour powder and bullet into the barrel in that original way guns were built like cannons.

    This Boston Bomber Beans appears to be a source for coming legislation already written to cut off ALL powder to reloaders and shooters, as of course the propaganda will be how dangerous it is, and why does anyone need pounds of powder.

    There will probably be some Bob Orr at CBS blowing up some Toyota with a pound of powder as Bob seems to have been at Ground Zero reporting......so he was either a target which might sour him on Obama, or he was just one of those people who happened to be there like the CAMERAMAN WHO RAN TOWARD THE BLASTS INSTEAD OF AWAY.

    Interesting was that what not eh?

    So this event is cover for something else, but in interesting psychopathy the event was tailored to create walking liberal wounded, who are dumb as posts and of course are all liberals, as no normal person focuses on running themselves to death or enjoys standing for hours to see the abnormal coughing up cooties and pieces of lung on the finish line.

    The only interesting part of this is........

    I suspect that "things" found here are making too much sense to the monitors, and "they" have pulled out the directional beam ware.....meaning there is not any clutter or residuals laid except Boris and Natasha......real black and white one dimensional stuff to mirror the emotards who laid the trail in Boston.

    Still can be read, and the kids in the hall are a boy and girl programmer who put the wave out there for the boss looking over things. They were seen as they never comprehended from some arrogant reason that the matrix would show them at work.

    That part is interesting......not the fag boy, but the comp skirt as she is so dull. At least, the Fraulein liked Gothe and was a fan.

    Enough of this as dictators murdering the masses in endless Stalin burning down the city is just repeats. After all, Obama is offering to Bostonians who had a bad Obama day, a chance to touch his breasts......


    Amazing how it all broke just in time for the east coast news cycle.........

    Ok, this makes COMPLETE sense now. These were Iranians. Here is why it makes sense... the Iranians have a damned good intelligence network, one of the best in the world, probably up there with the Russians, above the Chinese - at least that's the thinking in the intelligence community. That means they are good at both data collection as well as carrying out attacks like these. I'd almost bet money on this now that this was an Iranian attack cell here in the US and they walked away from the blast with no (or minor) injuries.

    So, look for this to get spun towards right wingers until someone spills the beans.

    U.S. was warned of terror attacks

    Source: Look for trail through Sri Lanka, Bangladesh


    Reza Kahlili About | Email | Archive Reza Kahlili, author of the award-winning book "A Time to Betray," served in CIA Directorate of Operations, as a spy in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, counterterrorism expert; currently serves on the Task Force on National and Homeland Security, an advisory board to Congress and the advisory board of the Foundation for Democracy in Iran (FDI). He regularly appears in national and international media as an expert on Iran and counterterrorism in the Middle East.





    Although it is not known yet who is responsible for Monday’s heinous bombings at the Boston Marathon that killed three and injured more than 100 people, a source within Iranian intelligence services told WND the Islamic regime was behind them and to look for trails through Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.


    The source said the bombs were planted near the end of the race so that the horrific images of the blasts would be captured by all the media there and be replayed over and over throughout the world.




    A senior commander of the Islamic regime had warned less than two months ago that terrorism was coming to America.


    “If the people of America and Europe do not confront the aggressive policies of their governments, they cannot then remain far from the possible future events (terror attacks),” the regime’s armed forces deputy chief of staff, Brig. Gen. Masoud Jazayeri, said in a Feb. 23 interview with Fars News Agency, a media outlet run by the Revolutionary Guards. “Al-Qaida groups and other services which operate for the interests of America (in Syria) will soon change the region of their operations and thereafter create new problems for America and Europe.”


    Jazayeri, objecting to U.S. involvement in the Syrian civil war, warned that explosions similar to those in Syria would take place in other countries.


    With information from a source in the supreme leader’s office, WND reported exclusively on Dec. 11, 2012, that a team of Quds Force terrorist leaders had infiltrated the United States to attack from within in 2013. The source said the team is to create instability in America through terrorism should the U.S. fail to accept the regime’s illicit nuclear program or increase sanctions, confront Iran militarily or intervene in the Syrian civil war.


    In a WND exclusive report on Feb. 28, the source said that a six-member team, including an explosives specialist, was to join 10 Quds Force commanders who already have a cell of 50 terrorists in the U.S. The source added that Iran is working with al-Qaida factions because al-Qaida attacks would not leave behind a link to Tehran.


    The source for today’s information blamed the Islamic regime for the Boston attack and pointed to the collaboration of the regime’s Quds Forces with Hezbollah and elements of al-Qaida with links to individuals in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. He said that under Quds Force guidance, Hezbollah recruited Sunni terrorists allied with al-Qaida factions in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, who then entered the U.S. for terrorist activities.


    The information has been shared with U.S. officials.


    But until the FBI and other U.S. agencies complete their investigations, all information regarding the bombings must be considered with great caution and any conclusions would be premature.


    If the source is correct, however, then three individuals will likely have had a hand in planning and preparing for the attack:



    • Mustafa Badr Al Din, the brother-in-law and cousin of the dead terrorist Imad Mugniyah, who now serves as Mugnyiah’s replacement as the military leader of Hezbollah and who also serves as the deputy of Qasem Soliemani, the head of the Islamic regime’s Quds Forces.
    • Mohammad Ali Hamadei, on the FBI’s most-wanted list, a Hezbollah operator responsible for operation and infiltration of forces into America who was based in New Mexico with a Latin American passport and who was also seen last year in England.
    • Talal Hamieh, the head of Hezbollah’s External Security Organization responsible for operations outside of Lebanon. He has been in Mexico collaborating with drug cartels to raise funds for Hezbollah cells and facilitates the transfer of arms and terrorists into the U.S.


    Both Badr Al Din and Hamieh were designated for sanctions by the U.S. Treasury Department last year for their involvement in terrorist activities throughout the world.


    In the aftermath of the Boston bombings, Fars News Agency put out a piece headlined, “Obama in deep trouble if Boston bombing was by Salafis (ultraconservative Sunni Muslims).”


    Fars said one reason that Obama has not linked the Boston bombing to al-Qaida is that his administration wants to show it has defeated al-Qaida and any mention of the terrorist group would undermine his position.


    It ominously mentioned that America is now allied with the Salafis and al-Qaida in confronting Syria’s Bashar Assad and that if it’s proven that the same elements were responsible for the bombings in Boston, then Obama would be severely criticized by the American public.


    Fars, as with the earlier warning by Jazayeri, denounced Obama’s decision to help the opposition in Syria and hinted that the Boston attack is related to al-Qaida and the hardcore Sunnis. It concluded that Obama would likely not name them as the guilty party to save face.


    Although the Islamic regime has long warned that America will not be safe from its reach and that it must not only accept Iran’s nuclear program but also end its support for the opposition in Syria, there is no proven link yet between Boston and Tehran.


    In an interview with WND today, former FBI Associate Deputy Director Oliver “Buck” Revell, who was head of the FBI’s intelligence and counter terrorism programs, explained how the Boston investigation will proceed:

    Rick, Vector got this article posted last page. It is a worthy read and the most plausible imo.

    The examination of images is also important because we may see the other part of this on the ground.

    Dunno, Phil, he looks retarded to me.

    /chuckles

    The wife and I were looking this thread over last night and I showed her the pressure cooker.

    It's the same one we just bought for the boat (I can show you mine though). But I said, "Wow. Pressure cooker, nails, BBs, and gun powder, I bought ALL those things in the last few weeks."

    She said, "So you're a suspect now....."

    I pointed out that I still have all that stuff, and can show you the nails in the trim, the BBs are in with my pellet rifles, the gun powder is in a safe location and the pressure cooker is on the stove in the kitchen, and I haven't left Colorado in months. lol

    She breathed a sigh of relief.

    By the way... I've had plenty of dealings with Iranians. Those two with the packs do LOOK Iranian, especially the one on the right in the above photo.

    Boston bomb probe focuses on bags and pressure cooker






























































    By Scott Malone
    BOSTON | Wed Apr 17, 2013 9:33am EDT

    (Reuters) - The investigation of the Boston Marathon bombing is focusing on a suspect or suspects believed to have carried heavy bags or backpacks, but entered a third day on Wednesday without any arrests or word on who was responsible.
    Investigators appeared to have gathered enough evidence at the crime scene on Tuesday to slightly narrow their search, but it was also not known whether the perpetrators were domestic or foreign, U.S. officials said.
    The twin bombs in Boston, which killed three people and injured 176 others, was the worst attack in the United States since security was stepped up across the country after the September 11, 2001 hijacked plane strikes.
    A stretch of Boston's Boylston Street almost a mile long and blocks around it remained closed on Wednesday as investigators searched for clues. The explosions sprayed shrapnel far enough that police were collecting fragments from rooftops along the marathon's course.
    Hundreds of people on Tuesday night turned out at Boston Common, where runners a day earlier had boarded buses to the take them to the race's start line, singing songs including "God Bless America."
    Boston Medical Center may be sending home some of the seriously injured people.
    "Things are moving along as expected and the patients are doing well," Dr. Peter Burke, the chief of trauma surgery at the hospital told reporters on Wednesday. The hospital initially took in 23 patients, four of whom were released by Tuesday morning.
    Hospitals are saving the shrapnel pieces doctors pick out of the wounded for police. Burke said the fragments include metal, plastic, wood and concrete.
    "We've taken on large quantities of pieces … we send them to the pathologists and they are available to the police," he said.
    NYLON FRAGMENTS, BALL BEARINGS AND NAILS
    Among the items recovered at the bomb scene were pieces of black nylon that could be from a backpack, fragments of ball bearings and nails, and possibly the remains of a pressure cooker device, Richard DesLauriers, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's special agent in charge in Boston, told a news conference on Tuesday. Evidence collected at the scene was being reconstructed at the FBI laboratory in Quantico, Virginia, DesLauriers said.
    Bomb scene pictures produced by the Boston Joint Terrorism Task Force and released on Tuesday show the remains of an explosive device including twisted pieces of a metal container, wires, a battery and what appears to be a small circuit board.
    One picture shows a few inches of charred wire attached to a small box, and another depicts a half-inch nail and a zipper head stained with blood. Another shows a Tenergy-brand battery attached to black and red wires through a broken plastic cap. Several photos show a twisted metal lid with bolts.
    A U.S. government official, who declined to be identified, made the pictures available to Reuters.
    STUDENT ANGUISH
    Residents of the city, which has a large community of students at its many universities, struggled to make sense of the twin bombs that went off at one of Boston's most heavily attended public events, maiming bystanders.
    President Barack Obama, who will travel to Boston on Thursday for a memorial service, has called the bombings an "act of terror."
    Three people were killed by the blasts.
    The youngest to die was an 8-year-old boy, Martin Richard, from the city's Dorchester neighborhood.
    Officials identified a second person killed as Krystle Campbell, 29, of Medford, Massachusetts.
    "I can't believe this is happening," her mother, Patty, told reporters. "She was the best, you couldn't ask for a better daughter."
    The third person who died was a Chinese citizen whose identity was not being made public at the request of the victim's family, the Chinese Consulate in New York said. The victim was a graduate student at Boston University, the university said.
    One of the last things the Chinese victim did was post a picture captioned "My wonderful breakfast" on a popular microblog.
    The victim's family first realized what might have happened from a posting on a Chinese microblog by the victim's roommate, Hong Kong's Phoenix TV said on its website on Wednesday.
    "Everyone, please help me find my roommate", pleaded the post, according to Phoenix. After going to the marathon, "she hasn't come home and ... everyone is very worried."

    I agree that Iran is the most likely culprit Rick, just saying the disheveled guy in red and blue seems out of place as does the hispanic fella.

    “Innocent” Saudi has ties to several Al-Qaeda Terrorists

    Reblogged from END TIME HEADLINES:

    A couple of weeks ago we warned America about the very serious problem of Saudi infiltration; many of these Saudi nationals criminals and terrorists. After the bombings, a Saudi by the name of Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi was hospitalized and became a ‘suspect’, then a ‘person of interest’. His apartment was searched by federal and local authorities. No confirmation has been given so far to his involvement.

    Read more… 99 more words


    Looks like the story on this guy isn't going to die out... Good. I still think the Iranians are behind the bombing though, rather than a lone Saudi - unless he's working for Iranian intelligence or is a trained operative.

    FBI and al Qaeda both "struggling" to identify culprit behind Boston Marathon bombing




    (CBS News) As FBI investigators comb through photo and video evidence for new leads as to who was behind the deadly Boston Marathon bombings, it seems al Qaeda and its most fervent supporters are equally perplexed, but eagerly hoping the sinister act can be claimed by the group.


    CBS News senior correspondent John Miller, a former assistant FBI director, says investigators are focusing on photos taken immediately before the bombing and others showing what appear to be parts of the detonated devices.

    The placement of both devices in metal pressure cookers could reveal hints as to who was behind the attack. "Inspire," an online magazine published by al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), recently published instructions on how to make pressure cooker bombs.

    While the terror group was by no means the first to illustrate the instructions, al Qaeda's online forums and chatrooms are also abuzz with suggestions that the Boston bomber or bombers might have been inspired by the group's strong push for "lone wolf" style attacks in the West.


    Al-Shabab, al Qaeda's primary media operation, published a video in June 2011 spearheading the group's effort to move away from large-scale, centrally-organized and planned dramatic operations like the Sept. 11 attacks, and toward smaller, easier to plan and carry out, lone wolf attacks.


    The video is being reference often by jihadists in light of the Boston bombings, with many expressing hope that someone buying into the al Qaeda philosophy was behind the attack.


    "Even if this was the work of a 'lone wolf', a claim by al Qaeda would probably have a big impact on the U.S., and most importantly, would encourage others to follow suit," urges one online jihadist.


    But CBS News' analysis of prominent, credible jihadist web portals shows they are grappling for answers just as the FBI investigators are. Most recent terror attacks have been claimed by jihadist groups within about three days.


    "The investigators are struggling with that question," explains Miller, "as al Qaeda, on the other side of the world, is wondering 'was that us?'"


    Miller says it could turn out that the Boston attack represents "the maturation" of al Qaeda's relatively new lone wolf ideology. It's possible, says Miller, that having put out the call for "lone wolves" to strike, "they've done it, and they just don't know how to claim responsibility."


    Miller notes, however, that this remains just one theory to explain the attack on the marathon. The investigation is still "wide open," he says, stressing that pressure cooker bombs are, "easy to make if you know what you're doing," and citing many previous incidents -- some long before the advent of al Qaeda -- of such bombs being used in attacks carried out by domestic or non-jihadist groups.

    Boston Bombings Investigation: Russia Offers Assistance In Explosions Probe






    Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered his country's assistance in investigating bombings in Boston that killed 3 and injured more than 140 people.

    Putin said in a condolences note published on the Kremlin's website Tuesday that the international community should come together to fight terrorism.

    Putin said Russia "would be ready to provide assistance" to U.S. authorities with the probe into the bombings at the Boston marathon.

    Obama's national security adviser Tom Donilon met with Putin on Monday and presented a letter from Obama in an effort to improve relations, which have nosedived in recent months.

    Despite Obama's efforts to "reset" relations with Russia during his first term, ties worsened over conflicting approaches to the Syrian crisis and U.S. concerns about the Kremlin's crackdown on dissent.

    FINALLY! Confirmation, something DID happen at the JFK Library!

    Everyone kept telling me I was full of shit.

    JFK Presidential Library closed ‘indefinitely’ for investigation into fire after marathon bombings

    Shortly after the Boston Marathon bombings, a fire broke out near a new entrance at the library. Some employees say they heard a blast as the fire started.

    Tom Putnam, head of the JFK Presidential Library, said it is unclear what caused the fire shortly after the marathon bombings.


    The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum is being closed “indefinitely” while an investigation continues into whether a fire there is linked to the Boston Marathon bombings.


    Shortly after the marathon bombings, a fire broke out near a new entrance at the library, which is several miles from the marathon finish. Some employees insist they heard a loud blast as a fire ensued that damaged a conference room and auditorium.

    Mourners gathered in the Boston Commons for a vigil on Tuesday in the aftermath of twin bombings near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.

    Initial police analyses were contradictory and included a theory that a mechanical fire was the culprit. On Tuesday, Tom Putnam, the library head, said it remained unclear what caused the fire.


    But both Monday and Tuesday had been normal work days for library personnel, who are federal employees and weren’t impacted by Monday’s Patriots Day state holiday. They were informed early Wednesday of the shutdown.

    From what I knew there was never any debate a fire was at the library, just the cause was at first a suspect bomb, then electrical, now the above.
