Magenta Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Near the end of the race at the finish line, 2 successive bombs were detonated, there are injuries.
Nathan T_ Freeman Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 After spending the afternoon contemplating it, this was my reaction on Facebook. If politicians had souls...My fellow Americans, Today's events in Boston have taken a heavy toll on our nation. The horrific images of buildings exploding, people running in terror, the innocent wounded being carried away without the legs that had just run 26 miles, and blood literally running in our streets, have moved me in a way that I have not felt since childhood. As reports flowed into my office from the scene, I realized that this is what people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Syria experience every day. I had what alcoholics call a "moment of clarity" as I suddenly understood that America's policy of -- no, I'm sorry -- MY policy of targetting families with drone-launched Hellfire missiles was inflicting exactly the same horror on other innocent people around the world.As this revelation burst through my mind, I sank to my knees and prayed to God for his guidance. And I heard his response in the words of the Gospel of Matthew, "put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." These words finally made sense to me, that violence begets violence; and that, whoever the culprit of these particular crimes turns out to be, the blame rests with me.So it is with a grim but determined heart that I apologize. I'm sorry Boston, I'm sorry America, for having brought this violence to you. God had warned me of the consequences of hubris, but I did not listen. I am listening now. I'm sorry.Effective immediately, I am terminating the Predator drone program. All remote aircraft weapons platforms are grounded and will be scheduled for demolition.Further, I have ordered the Joint Chiefs of Staff to begin the unilateral withdrawal of all US military personnel from foreign territories. The United States will no longer pursue a policy of aggression and occupation against the people of the world.It is time to end the cycle of terror. In my solemn responsibility as the President of the United States, I pledge to take the first steps in healing the world. I only wish I had understood this sooner.Thank you for your patience and faith. I will not fail you again.-- President Barack Obama, April 15 2013
mythness Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Meanwhile in Iraq on the same day: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-22149863 At least 31 people killed and over 200 people injured from multiple car bomb explosions. Which do you think is going to get more coverage here in the States?
Scott Wohler Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Well, to be fair, the news media has the average American convinced that the violence in the Middle East is commonplace and to be expected on a regular basis. Also, they completely gloss over the fact that many deaths are a result of the US military's actions.

st434u Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 What isn't going to be reported is that there were bomb drills being carried out at the same exact time, at the same exact location. Another coincidence? I'd say another false-flag. Every empire in the history of the world has engaged in these, and the US State has admitted to doing it in the past (usually after everyone has forgotten about it) The question of who is responsible is made even easier when you ask who stands to benefit from the attacks, and what possible reason would those who stand to lose from it (and who it will surely be blamed on) have to carry it out.
masonman Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 the violence in the Middle East is commonplace and to be expected on a regular basis. It is extremely commonplace. I'm confused as to how the media is doing something bad by convincing people of something that is true? People are blown up and gunned down over stupid religious and political (also a bit religious) disputes on almost a daily basis. Also, they completely gloss over the fact that many deaths are a result of the US military's actions. Not to defend the US government in their actions in the Middle East, but most of the Middle East was still a statist hellhole before they showed up. Not everything can be blamed on western governments. Another coincidence? I'd say another false-flag. Of course you will

st434u Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I suppose you would say the 9/11 attacks were not a false-flag either. 12 years have gone by and the evidence has been widely available for everyone to see for many years ( ), yet even the most staunch critics and opposers of the US State and of statism itself refuse to even consider the possibility that this organization is full of insane, evil people who will gladly kill their neighbors for money and power.
marius Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 911 was false flag and it helped me get out of my brainwashing. im sure it helped more. If stef is reading, i saw you mention that you dont focus on a single crime of the state, but you should because it helps awake people
ritherz Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Stef has addressed this before, and I'd agree with him. Something along the lines of- why focus on 'conspiracies' when there's much worse that the state does in the open. Openly murdering citizens in other countries, creating a permanent underclass through welfare, to name only a few offenses.
marius Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Those are good examples, but its not so open and obvious for everyone. Its difficult to get out of patriotism propaganda or to have basic economics skills. However basic physics or little investigative work will awaken most.
Nathan T_ Freeman Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 I thought this reporter had an interesting moment of honesty about the whole thing. Listen closely... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=V7SIQJ578d4#t=5s
marius Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 the biggest hmmm i have is that they had connections with gov agencies before. text book set up. drills again, and anyway, who believes the official story?
