Boston Bombing (False Flag)

Facebook Page Memorial Set up 2days before Boston Bombing
This is so strange. This kind of thing happened with Sandy Hook too I believe. Who knows who made it but common sense says that the perps who carried out the bombing did. If they did, why? None of it makes any sense but then nether does this bombing. -Mort

Boston Police Use Violence in an Non-Violence Situation
The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) has identified  Tamerlan (26 years old) and Dzhokhar (19 years old) Tsarnaev as the perpetrators of the Boston Marathon Bombing (BMB). The picture being painted about these boys is that they were confused about their cultural identity which would lend to the idea that they would become violent.

The Tsarnaev brothers have been painted by public opinion and the federal authorities as Russian extremists with Muslim ideology that would facilitate a violent outburst; like having committed the BMB.

The Tsarnaev brother’s family are from Chechnya,  a republic of Russia acquired during Tolstoy’s time. This area is purported to be supportive of Islamic extremism with “warrior traditions”.

However, one neighbor describes the boys as “sociable, compassionate and friendly.” Others who knew them personally recall their shock that either of the Tsarnaev brothers were involved in the BMB.

Tamerlan, Russian native and a Muslim, has been said by the FBI to be the man in the “black hat” from pictures released to the public by authorities. Mainstream media has produced an unconformable quote by Tamerlan that states: “I don’t have a single American friend, I don’t understand them.”

Conveniently, there is also a YouTube account  that provides an askew image of Tamerlan for the public to judge this alleged terrorist.

Anzor Tsarnaev, father of the supects, has been quoted  by MSM as saying: “My son is a true angel. They were set up, they were set up! I saw it on television; they killed my older son Tamerlan.”

Tsarnaev said: “If they killed him, then all hell would break loose. If they kill my second child, I will know that it is an inside job, a hit job. The police are to blame. Someone, some organization is out to get them.”

Jeff Bauman, who was under substantial amounts of drugs for having lost both of his legs in the BMB, scribbled on a sheet of paper to his brother “bag, saw the guy, looked right at me.”

While under heavy sedation, Bauman still managed to identify  to the FBI that the Tsarnaev brothers were the bombers who wore “a cap, sunglasses and a black jacket over a hooded sweatshirt.”

Taking the words of a victim under the influence of major pharmaceuticals, the FBI is completely disregarding photos of men who have been linked to Craft International (CI) as the alleged “actual” men with backpacks.

Alternative media outlets have identified  two men wearing black caps with the Punisher skull icon adopted by CI; as well as tell-tale khaki pants and boots.

CI is the creation of former Navy Seal Chris Kyle who was killed earlier this year at the North Texas firing range by former Marine Corporal Eddie Ray Routh, according to  authorities.

Kyle was the author  of “American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in US Military History”. This book “recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyles kills (the previous American record was 109), but it has declined to verify the astonishing total number” claimed in the book.

Kyle specialized in being able to shoot his target with deadly accuracy from rooftops and steal positions which earned him the respect of his peers in the Marines, US Army and Navy SEALs.

CI offers training  in tactical operations and surveillance for:

•Military •Law enforcement •Tacflow combatives •School/university security •Civilian/corporate security

They also offer readily to the public shirts, baseball caps and accessories with the iconic Punisher skull to anyone willing to pay  for the merchandise online. In fact, for $22.95 ANYONE can have their very-own black baseball cap with the white Punisher skull on it – the VERY SAME cap worn by the men identified by Alternative media as being CI operatives who carried out the BMB.

Claiming that men who were hired to perform a covert operation in a public place where camera and video surveillance is expected would wear descriptive hats and clothing is preposterous. Those who have performed covert operations know that you do not wear your “uniform” to the event.

In Watertown, Massachusetts, a manhunt is in progress  to find Dzhokhar. Tamerlan was killed by the police during a shootout where over 200 rounds were “exchanged”, according to Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick.

Police stated  that Tamerlan “threw explosives” at the officers who were shooting at him.

Both Tamerlan brothers were met with SWAT teams in armored vehicles that were deployed to arrest  the “terrorists”. Those same para-militarized police officers are surveiling the streets of Boston searching for Dzhokhar.

Authorities also claim that Dzhokhar killed a security officer  from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and stole a Mercedes SUV to evade arrest. They believe he has guns and explosives with him.

Authorities advised residents earlier in the day to remain in their homes and “do not answer [the] door unless instructed by a police officer.”

Airspace over Watertown was considered a no-fly zone and subway and public transit has been halted. In a conference Patrick stated: “We are asking you to stay home, stay indoors. We are asking businesses not to open. We are asking people not to congregate outside. We’re asking people not to go to mass transit.”

Patrick announced  later in the day that: “[The airport is] open and operating and flights are operating. Airlines are waiving fees for passengers who don’t want to or can’t fly today. … Taxis are coming and going. Call your airline for your flight status before you leave for the airport, which is what we say anyway, but allow yourself a little extra time.”

Police officers are conducting door-to-door searches. Davis explained: “We believe this is a terrorist, we believe this is a man that’s come here to kill people.”

The order to remain indoors has been lifted  while authorities continue to search for Dzhokar. Police say that Dzhokar is “a very violent and dangerous person.”

Colonel Timothy Alben, superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police said: “We do not have an apprehension of our suspect this afternoon, but we will have one. . . we don’t think he’d get much further; his ties seem to be here. . . still in Massachusetts.”

By 8:45pm EST, MSM reported that Dzhokhar was found hiding in a boat in Watertown. Dzhokar was taken into custody and sent in an ambulance to a hospital. He is listed as in critical condition.

It was reported that bystandards cheered as police confirmed that their suspect was aprehended.

MSM are painting a violent picture  of Dzhoklar an obsessed jihadist from Russia who put his beliefs in Islam ahead of career and money.

Adding to the heightened emotions, New Yrk Governor Andrew Cuomo cancelled his weekly address citing  that: “It’s a terrible situation in Boston. And, unfortunately. . . one gets the sense that this is more reflective of the ‘new normal,’ if you will. So much of society is changing so rapidly. We talk about a ‘new normal’ when it comes to climate change and adjusting to a change in the weather patterns. ‘New normal’ when it comes to public security in a post-9/11 world. Where these random acts of violence, which at one time were implausible, now seem all-too-frequent.”

Cuomo supports Patrick. “I’m a big fan of Deval’s. We were together in the Clinton administration so I know him personally and he’s doing a very good job.”

Both FBI & CIA Watched The Boston Bombings
FBI & CIA now admit to putting Boston bombing suspect on 2 “watch lists,” directly contradicting previous public statements. CIA most likely sponsored suspect’s trips to meet US-backed terrorists in Chechnya, Russia.

April 25, 2013 (LD) – It is now confirmed that Russian investigators contacted the FBI at least as early as 2011 in regards to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, and again just 6 months before the Boston attacks. Additionally, it is now revealed that both the FBI and CIA had Tsarnaev on at least 2 terrorist watch lists, contradicting previous FBI statements that the case was “closed” after not finding “any terrorism activity, domestic or foreign.”

FBI Caught in Staggering Series of Lies

The suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev and brother Dzhokar Tsarnaev, would be revealed to the public by the FBI a day after a bizarre press conference cancellation and a security scare at the federal courthouse where a suspect was allegedly being brought.

The FBI would feign ignorance over the suspects’ identity, appealing to the witless public for help identifying and apprehending them. It would be claimed by the suspects’ family members that the FBI had long been in contact with Tamerlan Tsarnaev, and that the bombing was a set-up.

The FBI’s bizarre behavior grew more suspicious when CBS reported that initially the FBI denied it had any prior contact with the Tsarnaev’s. In their report, “CBS News: FBI Interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev 2 Years Ago,” CBS claimed:

CBS News reports although the FBI initially denied contacting Tsarnaev, the brothers’ mother said they had in an interview with Russia Today.

That interview with Russia Today, in an article titled, “‘They were set up, FBI followed them for years’- Tsarnaevs’ mother to RT,” stated of the suspects’ mother:

But her biggest suspicion surrounding the case was the constant FBI surveillance she said her family was subjected to over the years. She is surprised that having been so stringent with the entire family, the FBI had no idea the sons were supposedly planning a terrorist act.

She would say of the FBI to Russia Today:

“They used to come [to our] home, they used to talk to me…they were telling me that he [the older, 26-y/o Tamerlan] was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him. 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! Never ever is this true, my sons are innocent!”

The FBI would finally recant its earlier denial, and disclose on April 19, 2013 in an official statement on FBI.gov that indeed, they had been in contact with Tamerlan Tsarnaev as early as 2011:

The two individuals believed to be responsible for the Boston Marathon bombings on Monday have been positively identified as Tamerlan Tsarnaev, now deceased, and Dzhokar Tsarnaev, now in custody. These individuals are brothers and residents of Massachusetts. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a legal permanent resident and Dzhokar Tsarnaev is a naturalized U.S. citizen. Charges have not yet been filed against Dzhokar Tsarnaev and he is presumed innocent.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, age 26, was previously designated as Suspect 1, wearing a black hat. Dzhokar A. Tsarnaev, age 19, was designated as Suspect 2, wearing a white hat. Both were born in Kyrgyzstan.

Once the FBI learned the identities of the two brothers today, the FBI reviewed its records and determined that in early 2011, a foreign government asked the FBI for information about Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The request stated that it was based on information that he was a follower of radical Islam and a strong believer, and that he had changed drastically since 2010 as he prepared to leave the United States for travel to the country’s region to join unspecified underground groups.

In response to this 2011 request, the FBI checked U.S. government databases and other information to look for such things as derogatory telephone communications, possible use of online sites associated with the promotion of radical activity, associations with other persons of interest, travel history and plans, and education history. The FBI also interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev and family members. The FBI did not find any terrorism activity, domestic or foreign, and those results were provided to the foreign government in the summer of 2011. The FBI requested but did not receive more specific or additional information from the foreign government.

However, the case was not “closed.” Additional evidence would reveal that the FBI had been warned again, just 6 months before the Boston bombings by Russian investigators. The FBI was told Tamerlan Tsarnaev had visited Russia and was in contact with known-terrorists operating in and around Chechnya. Somehow, this additional information “escaped” the FBI’s April 19, 2013 public statement.

The British Daily Mail in their article titled, “Russia asked FBI to investigate bomber just 6 MONTHS ago after being spotted with ‘a militant’ on trip to Dagestan: Was it this known terrorist who Boston killer liked on YouTube?,” would state:

Speculation is growing that one of the Boston bombers met a known Jihadist terrorist in 2011 – as it emerged the FBI failed to follow up on a Russian tip that he was seen with an Islamic militant six times.

The Daily Mail would also report that:

The FBI has confirmed that Russia alerted the agency in 2011 that Tsarnaev had ties to ‘radical Islam’ groups in his homeland. Homeland Security sources have also revealed the agency received tips in 2012 about his ties to extremists connected to a Boston mosque.

In the wake of the FBI’s serial lies, yet more evidence is coming to light of now not only the FBI’s increasingly entangled relationship with the suspects prior to the bombing, but the CIA’s role as well. In the New York Times article, “2 U.S. Agencies Added Boston Bomb Suspect to Watch Lists,” it was reported that:

Despite being told in 2011 that an F.B.I. review had found that a man who went on to become one of the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings had no ties to extremists, the Russian government asked the Central Intelligence Agency six months later for whatever information it had on him, American officials said Wednesday.

After its review, the C.I.A. also told the Russian intelligence service that it had no suspicious information on the man, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed in a shootout with the police early last Friday. It is not clear what prompted the Russians to make the request of the C.I.A.

The upshot of the American inquiries into Mr. Tsarnaev’s background was that even though he was found to have no connections to extremist groups, his name was entered into two different United States government watch lists in late 2011 that were designed to alert the authorities if he traveled overseas.

Therefore, in addition to first denying, then confirming having interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2011 and never mentioning the now confirmed warning by Russia just 6 months ago, the FBI and CIA also put Tsarnaev on at least 2 terrorist watch lists. Inexplicably, the FBI would have the public believe they found no evidence of terrorist activity, but then put Tsarnaev’s name on 2 separate terrorist watch lists anyway – and still somehow failed to prevent the Boston bombings. Clearly, that doesn’t add up.

Evidence Points to Tsarnaev as CIA Asset

While the establishment media predictably attempts to make the serial lies told by the FBI, and both FBI and CIA’s involvement and foreknowledge of the suspects years before the Boston attacks, appear to be just an innocent bureaucratic foul-up, former-FBI translator Sibel Edmonds reported in incredible detail what most likely transpired, even before revelations of the CIA’s involvement became public.

In a 45 minute interview on the Corbett Report, Edmonds explained that multiple warnings by Russian investigators to the FBI were likely ignored because the CIA was in all probability using Tamerlan Tsarnaev as an asset to travel to Russia’s Caucasus region and make contact with US-backed terrorists.

It is a long-documented fact that the United States has extensively backed terrorists operating in Russia’s Caucasus region.

It is clear that at the very least, the FBI, CIA, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and other federal agencies knew well ahead of time of Boston Marathon bombing suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, and did nothing to prevent him from allegedly carrying out an attack. Understanding the insidious behavior of both the FBI and CIA, opens up a second and more troubling possibility – that the FBI and/or the CIA were directly involved in the Boston bombings themselves, using the Tsarnaev brothers as patsies.

Regardless of which is true – there is more than enough evidence currently to remove the FBI from the Boston bombing investigation and open an immediate and urgent inquiry into both the FBI and CIA’s involvement and criminal improprieties in the lead up to the attacks.

There is also enough evidence for the American people to realize they have exchanged for the past decade, their liberty and dignity for safety and clearly have been left none of the above. It is also now clear that the American people possess the moral imperative to seize back their liberties and to throw off this expansive, ineffectual, stifling, incompetent and/or criminal federal security apparatus – from the DHS and TSA, to the FBI and CIA – who despite receiving billions annually and nearly limitless authority failed utterly to prevent the Boston Marathon bombings, and in fact appear to have played a central role in facilitating them.

Crisis Actors Used in This False flag Event
Crisis actors, as described by an outfit in Denver, Colorado called Visionbox Crisis Actors, are “a new group of actors … available nationwide for active shooter drills and mall shooting full-scale exercises” who “are trained in criminal and victim behavior, and bring intense realism to simulated mass casualty incidents in public places. The actors’ stage acting experience … enables them to ‘stay in character’ throughout an exercise, and improvise scenes of extreme stress while strictly following official exercise scenarios.”

Not only are ordinary crisis actors used in government drills and mass trauma events, some of them are amputees!

There’s an outfit called Amputees in Action, which describes itself as “a unique agency, working independently to provide … trained professional amputee actors for the film and screen industries and for emergency and military services training simulations…. Our personnel use their personal trauma experiences to enable graphic realism that is second to none, and our team of special effects (SFX) make-up, moulage and prosthetic artists use cutting edge technology to enhance and extend the appearance and function of limb-loss scenarios.”

Steve recently posted on suspected crisis actors at the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombings, notably “Jeff Bauman” who had both of his legs blown off but somehow managed to be fully conscious as he was carted away in a wheelchair (see here, here, and especially “Hollywood producer Nathan Folks says Boston Bombing was false-flag fakery.”

There’s also a black woman who, immediately after the first bomb exploded, was pictured sitting on the ground next to Jeff Bauman, with no visible blood or injuries.

Moments later, however, the same black woman was covered in blood and strapped into a spine board stretcher. As seen in the pic below, it’s the same black woman because she’s wearing the same red jacket.

On April 15, 2013, Max Malone was a spectator videotaping the marathon, standing right where the first bomb exploded on the sidewalk in front of a LensCrafters store at 699 Boylston St., Boston, MA.

Here’s Malone’s video. I suggest you skip to the 2:10 mark when the first bomb exploded. Malone’s video captured several notable points of interest:


 * 1) The video clearly shows that the store windows of LensCrafters were intact despite the explosion, in direct contrast to news accounts of the store’s windows being shattered.
 * 2) The video clearly shows that the spectators in front of LensCrafters were not injured, with no blood on their faces or limbs.
 * 3) Most importantly, the video captured a blonde middle-aged woman dressed in red who, after the first explosion, walked past Malone’s video camera, uninjured and unbloodied.

Woman in Red at the 8:50 mark in the video. Note her short blonde hair and the upturned collar of her red jacket.

Moments later, however, Woman in Red got “into character” as a bomb victim, now wearing a black jacket over the red, as shown in news footage of her sitting dazed on the ground (10:00 mark)

And here she is being wheeled away, her face and her left hand now covered with blood (9:33 mark)

I wonder how much she got paid for her one-day crisis actor performance?

Tsarnaev Brothers are alleged(Accused) As the Boston Bombers
Amid the swirl of mysteries surrounding the alleged Boston bombers, one fact, barely touched upon in the mainstream U.S. media, stands out: There is a strong possibility that Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older of the two brothers, was a double agent, perhaps recruited by the FBI.

If Tsarnaev was a double agent, he would be just one of thousands of young people coerced by the FBI, as the price for settling a minor legal problem, into a dangerous career as an informant.

That he was so coerced is the easiest explanation for two seemingly incompatible incidents in his life:

The first is that he returned to Russia in 2012, ostensibly to renew his Russian passport so he could file an application for US citizenship.

The second is that Tsarnaev then jeopardized his citizenship application with conspicuous, provocative — almost theatrical — behavior that seemed more caricature than characteristic of a Muslim extremist.

False Notes

While walking around in flashy western clothes in the Russian Republic of Dagestan, he visited his cousin, Magomed Kartashov, a prominent Islamist leader, already on the Russians’ radar. The two reportedly spent hours discussing Tsarnaev’s wish to join a terrorist cell there in the Caucasus. Later, Russian authorities asked Kartashov if he had tried to incite Tsarnaev with “extremist” views. Kartashov said it was the other way around: he had tried to convince Tsarnaev that “violent methods are not right.”

Experts agree that Tsarnaev could not have expected such provocative activity to escape the notice of the vigilant Russian authorities.

Back in America, Tsarnaev again called attention to himself as a radical Muslim. Just one month after he returned from his trip, a YouTube page that appeared to belong to him featured multiple jihadist videos that he had purportedly endorsed.

And in January 2013, he got himself thrown out of a mosque in Cambridge for shouting at a speaker who compared the Prophet Mohammed to Martin Luther King Jr. Tsarnaev rarely attended this mosque, but he must have known it was moderate. (He had done something similar the previous November at the same mosque.) Typically, jihadists are trained to blend in, to be as inconspicuous as possible. Did Tsarnaev go to this mosque with the express intent of smoking out possible radicals?

The key to Tsarnaev’s puzzling behavior may lie in the answer to another question: when exactly did Tsarnaev first come to the attention of the FBI? The timeline offered by the agency, and duly reported in the mainstream media, has been inconsistent. One story line focused on the FBI’s response to an alert from Russian authorities.

Eric Schmitt and Michael S. Schmidt of the New York Times, wrote, on April 24, 2013,

The first Russian request came in March 2011 through the F.B.I.’s office in the United States Embassy in Moscow. The one-page request said Mr. Tsarnaev ”had changed drastically since 2010” and was preparing to travel to a part of Russia “to join unspecified underground groups.”

The Russian request was reportedly based on intercepted phone calls between Tsarnaev’s mother and an unidentified person (The Guardian [London], April 21, 2013). According to another source, several calls were intercepted, including one between Tsarnaev and his mother.

So was it the Russian alert in March 2011 that first prompted the FBI to investigate Tsarnaev? This conclusion seems undermined by another report in the Times—written four days earlier by the same two reporters plus a third– that dated the agency’s first contact with Tamerlan and family members at least two months earlier, in January 2011.

If the FBI interviewed Tsarnaev before the Russians asked them to, then what prompted the agency’s interest in him? Were his contacts here as well as in Russia considered useful to American counterintelligence?

The Canadian Connection

Although it’s not known why the Russians were intercepting phone calls involving the Tsarnaevs, one reason might have been Tamerlan’s connection, direct or indirect, with a Canadian terrorist named William Plotnikov. According to USA Today, a Russian security official told the AP that

Plotnikov had been detained in Dagestan in December 2010 on suspicion of having ties to the militants and during his interrogation was forced to hand over a list of social networking friends from the United States and Canada who like him had once lived in Russia, Novaya Gazeta reported. The newspaper said Tsarnaev’s name was on that list, bringing him for the first time to the attention of Russia’s secret services.

According to a slightly different version, Plotnikov, “while under interrogation in the militant hotbed of Dagestan, named Tsarnaev as a fellow extremist.”

The similar backgrounds of Plotnikov and Tsarnaev make it likely that they had indeed been in contact. Both were recent immigrants from the former Soviet Union. Both had successful boxing careers in North America, and both surprised their friends by converting to Islamist extremism.

Plotnikov was a member of the Caucasus Emirate, an al-Qaeda ally, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police had been searching for him since 2010. By 2011 the United States had joined the Russians in targeting this terrorist group as an al-Qaeda ally, and had offered $5 million for information leading to the capture of the group’s leader Dokka Umarov. (Moscow Times, May 27, 2011)

Plotnikov was killed in July 2012 in a shootout between militants and police in Dagestan. Tsarnaev left Dagestan for America two days after Plotnikov was killed.

US and Russia Share Concerns

Tsarnaev’s hopes for a Russian passport would have been put at risk by his openly provocative behavior in Dagestan –unless he was acting as an informant. But for which government, the U.S. or Russia?

The United States and Russia have two shared concerns in the “arc of crisis” stretching from Afghanistan to the Caucasus – terrorism and drugs. The two problems are interrelated, because drugs, especially in the Caucasus, help finance terror operations. This vitally affects Russia, both because it has one of the highest heroin death rates in the world, and even more because some of its member republics, like Dagestan, are up to 80 percent Muslim. This shared concern has led to a successful joint US-Russia anti-drug operation in Afghanistan.

Was Tamerlan Tsarnaev caught up in a similar counter-intelligence operation?

The FBI’s Dysfunctional Informant Program

One of the more controversial features of the FBI’s informant program is the frequency with which FBI agents coerce young people into the dangerous role of informant, as a price for settling a minor legal problem. Tsarnaev fits the mold. His successful career as a boxer was interrupted and his application for U.S. citizenship was held up (and perhaps denied) because “a 2009 domestic violence complaint was standing in his way.” This alone would mark him as a candidate for recruitment.

Thousands of vulnerable young people avoid our overcrowded prisons by agreeing to become snitches, sometimes wearing a wire. In this way a person whose only crime may have been selling marijuana to a friend can end up risking his career and even his life. And for what?

According to Sarah Stillman in The New Yorker,

The snitch-based system has proved notoriously unreliable, fuelling wrongful convictions. In 2000, more than twenty innocent African-American men in Hearne, Texas, were arrested on cocaine charges, based on the false accusations of an informant seeking to escape a burglary charge. This incident, and a number of others like it, prompted calls for national legislation to regulate informant use.

After 9/11, the coercive techniques of the FBI drug war, along with half of the agents using them, were redirected to surveillance of Muslims. The emphasis was no longer on investigation of specific crimes, but the recruitment of spies to report on all Muslim communities.

In 2005 the FBI’s Office of the Inspector General found that a high percentage of cases involving informants contained violations of the FBI’s own guidelines. Its report noted that since 2001 the rules had been loosened to reflect the new emphasis on intelligence gathering and. by extension, the bureau’s urgent need for informants.

According to the Center on National Security at Fordham Law School, … nearly every major post-9/11 terrorism-related prosecution has involved a sting operation, at the center of which is a government informant. In these cases, the informants—who work for money or are seeking leniency on criminal charges of their own—have crossed the line from merely observing potential criminal behavior to encouraging and assisting people to participate in plots that are largely scripted by the FBI itself. Under the FBI’s guiding hand, the informants provide the weapons, suggest the targets and even initiate the inflammatory political rhetoric that later elevates the charges to the level of terrorism.

A writer for Mother Jones, Trevor Aaronson, also investigated the FBI’s informant-led terrorism cases for over a year; he too found that in a number of cases, “the government provides the plot, the means, and the opportunity.”

Refuse the FBI and See What Happens

And what happens to Muslims who refuse to become spies? The case of Ahmadullah Niazi is not atypical. Niazi was one of several members of a California mosque who sought a restraining court order against another member–actually an FBI informant–who was flagrantly advocating violence in their midst. When Niazi was subsequently asked to become an informant himself and refused, he was arrested on charges of lying to immigration officials about alleged family connections to a member of Al Qaeda. The charges were ultimately withdrawn, but by then both Niazi and his wife had lost their jobs.

Another Muslim, Khalifa al-Akili, when pressured to become an informant, complained to the Guardian newspaper in London that “he believed he was the target of an FBI ‘entrapment’ sting.” One day after the Guardian contacted al-Akili, the FBI arrested him on a felony charge for illegal gun possession, based on the fact that two years earlier he had used a friend’s rifle (at a firing range), something he was prohibited from doing since he already had a drug conviction on his record. Al-Akili was held without bail as a potential threat to the public, and ultimately convicted.

These recruitments were taking place in a climate of fear. In addition to the tens of thousands of Muslims in America who were interviewed or investigated after 9/11, there were also by 2003 (according to an American imam’s compilation of US Government figures), 6,483 detained or arrested, 3,208 deported, 13,434 in process of deportation, and 144,513 interviewed and then registered under a Special Registration program of the Justice Department.

It is instructive to study how the FBI handled drone victim Anwar al-Awlaki. Right after 9/11, Awlaki was the “go-to” imam for the U.S media, because of his willingness to denounce the atrocity as anti-Islamic. But a few years earlier, while a Muslim cleric in San Diego, he had been twice arrested and convicted for soliciting prostitutes. According to Awlaki, he had been set up both times, because the U.S. government had been trying to recruit him as a spy:

In 1996 while waiting at a traffic light in my minivan a middle aged woman knocked on the window of the passenger seat. By the time I rolled down the window and before even myself or the woman uttering a word I was surrounded by police officers who had me come out of my vehicle only to be handcuffed. I was accused of soliciting a prostitute and then released. They made it a point to make me know in no uncertain terms that the woman was an undercover cop. I didn’t know what to make of the incident. However a few days later came the answer. I was visited by two men who introduced themselves as officials with the US government … and that they are interested in my cooperation with them. When I asked what cooperation did they expect, they responded by saying that they are interested in having me liaise with them concerning the Muslim community of San Diego. I was greatly irritated by such an offer and made it clear to them that they should never expect such cooperation from myself. I never heard back from them again until in 1998 when I was approached by a woman, this time from my window and again I was surrounded by police officers who this time said I had to go to court. This time I was told that this is a sting operation and you would not be able to get out of it.

Awlaki’s allegations may have been at least partly true. In 2002, when he came under suspicion in Operation Green Quest, an investigation of Muslim nonprofit organizations, the FBI reportedly did try to flip him, using prostitution charges.

According to U.S. News,

FBI agents hoped al-Awlaki might cooperate with the 9/11 probe if they could nab him on similar charges in Virginia. FBI sources say agents observed the imam allegedly taking Washington-area prostitutes into Virginia and contemplated using a federal statute usually reserved for nabbing pimps who transport prostitutes across state lines.

Were the FBI’s recruitment efforts successful? Another Muslim “person of interest,” Ali al-Timimi, tells a strange tale about al-Awlaki’s unnaturally provocative behavior:

When Awlaki came to his home, Timimi said, he started talking about recruiting Western jihadists. “Ali had never, in his whole life, even talked to the guy or met him,” Timimi’s lawyer, Edward MacMahon, told me. “Awlaki just showed up at his house and asked him if he could assist him in finding young men to join the jihad.” MacMahon said that Timimi was suspicious of Awlaki showing up “completely out of the blue” (Jeremy Scahill, Dirty Wars, 71).

Timimi’s attorneys argued that Awlaki was wearing a wire at the time, and asked that the US Government produce the tapes, which would show Timimi’s rejection of Awlaki’s terrorist request. The Government refused, on the grounds that “We are aware of no authority for this request.” Timimi, a promising research scientist, was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

Another glaring indication that Awlaki had been flipped is the ease with which he was able to return to the US from studies in Yemen in 2002, even though there was an outstanding warrant for his arrest.

On October 9, 2002, the U.S. Attorney’s office in Colorado “abruptly filed a motion to have the warrant for Awlaki’s arrest vacated and dismissed.”

On October 10, Awlaki and his family arrived at JFK airport on a flight from Saudi Arabia. After a brief period of confusion, Customs officials released them and recorded later that the FBI had told them “the warrant had been removed on 10/9.” In fact, documents show the warrant was still active, and was only vacated later that day.

Asked to comment on these anomalies, former FBI agents indicated there were only two likely explanations: either the bureau let the cleric into the country to track him for intelligence, or the bureau wanted to work with him as a friendly contact.

Does a similar analysis apply to the FBI’s curious “relationship” with Tamerlan Tsarnaev?

Despite Tsarnaev’s inflammatory behavior, as reported by the Russians and also in this country, a senior law enforcement official told the New York Times that intelligence agencies never followed up on Tsarnaev once he returned to the U.S., because their investigation “did not turn up anything and it did not have the legal authority to keep tabs on him”

This claim sounds strange in the light of recent revelations about widespread surveillance of telephone and Internet traffic of ordinary Americans and the ease with which law enforcement officials obtain warrants to probe more deeply into the activities of anyone suspected of ties to “terrorists.”

The case of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, like that of Anwar al-Awlaki, leaves many unanswered questions. But one thing seems clear: the FBI’s informant program, especially when dealing with the War on Terror, has proliferated wildly out of control.

Tsarnaev Brothers Where a Target for Leaking Data From the FBI Database
Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev are 9/11 truthers ,plus they did Leak data from the FBI Database and that's why they where used as Scrape goats for the Boston Bombing.

Tsarnaev brothers Are Innocent
The vast majority of the world's Muslims understand that 9/11, Bali, Madrid, 7/7, Mumbai, and similar events have been false flag attacks conducted by the enemies of Islam. As a 2011 Pew Poll found:

"There is no Muslim public in which even 30% accept that Arabs conducted the (9/11) attacks."

In Pakistan, the nation that knows "Al-CIA-duh" best, only 3% believe the official story of 9/11.

Among the vast majority of Muslims who know the truth about false-flag terror: The accused Boston Marathon bombers and their mother.

Dzokhar Tsarnaev's entirely-normal Twitter account included:

“Idk why it’s hard for many of you to accept that 9/11 was an inside job, I mean I guess fuck the facts y’all are some real #patriots #gethip”.

His older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev agreed.

According to the Rothschild-owned AP wire service:

"(Tamerlan Tsarnaev) began opposing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He turned to websites and literature claiming that the CIA was behind the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001..."

The brothers' mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, knows that "9/11 was purposefully created by the American government to make America hate Muslims" and says that her sons are innocent patsies in yet another anti-Islam false flag operation.

Their father, Anzor Tsarnaev, agrees that his sons were set up as false-flag patsies: "Somebody clearly framed them. I don't know who exactly framed them, but they did."

Virtually everyone who knew the Tsarnaev brothers says they are obviously innocent, and obviously incapable of the crimes of which they are accused.

Here is Dzhokhar Tsarnaev protesting "I never done it. They set me up" in his last Facebook post before he was shot by police, unarmed and trying to peacefully surrender, and then handed over to "Israeli doctors." Shades of Lee Harvey Oswald's famous last words: "I'm just a patsy!"

JESSICA DESVARIEUX, TRNN PRODUCER: Welcome to The Real News Network. I'm Jessica Desvarieux in Baltimore.

Tuesday marks the one-year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing, where three people were killed and more than 260 people were wounded. Civil liberties groups have criticized the FBI's inability to stop last year's attacks despite investigating one of the bombers in 2011. They're also critical of how militarized the police response was to the incident.

Now joining us to discuss militarization of the police in cities like Boston is our guest, Kade Crockford. Kade is the director of the Technology for Liberty Project at the ACLU of Massachusetts, where she edits and writes for the Privacy Matters blog.

Thank you for joining us, Kade.

KADE CROCKFORD, DIR., TECHNOLOGY FOR LIBERTY PROJECT, ACLU OF MA: Thanks for having me.

DESVARIEUX: So, Kade, what are the police actually capable of doing now that they weren't capable of doing a decade ago in terms of surveillance and things like that? And can you speak specifically to the FBI's practices in Boston after the bombing? I know at the end of the day people are going to say they got their bad guy, so why does it really matter how they got their bad guy. But I know you're critical, and you call it heavy-handed. Why is that?

CROCKFORD: So there are a couple of things. First is that after 9/11, the FBI was granted huge authority to investigate anyone they want, even absent any criminal predicate or reasonable suspicion that someone's involved in criminal activity. So the ACLU has long criticized this. And, you know, we found out after the Boston Marathon bombings that our criticisms were justified.

Essentially, the situation that we have right now is that the FBI investigates so many people, again, who are not suspected of criminal activity or any involvement in terrorism, that it can't even remember the important people they do investigate. And they're wasting tons of resources going after people against whom they have no allegation of criminal activity or other wrongdoing.

So, you know, this sort of suspicionless spying doesn't only impact civil liberties in a negative way; it also has a negative impact on public safety, because it means that precious law enforcement resources that should be dedicated towards, for example, pursuing--investigations of people like Tamerlan Tsarnaev, whom the Russians told the United States was planning to travel to Dagestan to work with terrorist groups, can be conducted thoroughly.

What happened is that the FBI did its first tier of investigation on Tamerlan, which is called an assessment. Again, that requires no criminal predicate. They said that they checked all of their bases, they met with him in person, they interviewed him, he seemed fine. And they weren't worried, it seems, because--you know, I've read reports that basically say that the FBI thought that Tamerlan was a Chechen terrorist who wanted to kill Russians and wasn't necessarily a threat to the United States. But they certainly had the authority to conduct a much broader investigation into him, because traveling abroad to participate in terrorism is a federal crime.

DESVARIEUX: Do you think that there is another approach for preventing potential future terrorist attacks that doesn't require amassing these massive databases?

CROCKFORD: Yeah, I do. And I'll say just one more thing about that. You know, another reason why these massive databases and, you know, compiling lists of many millions of people in these terrorism watch databases--again, who are not tied to any criminal or terrorist activity--is dangerous from a public safety perspective is that, sort of like Peter-wolf style, when alerts in these systems go off, for example, like when Tamerlan went to Dagestan and the Boston FBI officials were notified that he was about to go to Dagestan on a plane, they did nothing. They didn't act on that alert. And we've hear now that the reason for that is because they receive so many of these alerts every single day that they basically just ignore them.

Now my question is: what is the purpose of these dragnet databases that implicate the privacy of hundreds of millions of people if these alerts are just going to be routinely ignored because there are so many of them? It seems like we are both losing on the privacy front and losing on the public safety front.

Now, what could work is, you know, barebones back-to-basics criminal investigations. I used to have a colleague named Mike German who was an FBI agent before he came to work for the ACLU for a number of years, and he said it all the time. He said the criminal predicate in investigations works both for public safety and for civil liberties, because as an investigator, when I wanted to look at someone and I couldn't prove that they had any sort of involvement in any crimes, it was actually a waste of my resources and energy to be chasing them down. You know, the criminal predicate requirement, or at least a reasonable suspicion requirement, helped me as an investigator, he said, focus on people who were truly dangerous, and therefore my investigations turned out, more often than not, to yield results, instead of going nowhere, which is where most of these assessments most likely go.

Now, in the particular case in Boston, we have a clear illustration of this problem. You know, after the Boston Marathon attacks, the FBI said all of a sudden that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was responsible for a gruesome triple murder that occurred on the tenth anniversary of 9/11 in Waltham, Massachusetts. Now, why police did not solve that murder back then if they apparently had forensic evidence connecting Tamerlan to the murder two years later, I don't understand. But what is clear is that if that sort of gumshoe routine homicide investigation had followed through to its conclusion and police had arrested Tamerlan as a suspect in that murder and tried him and convicted him, then the Boston Marathon attacks never would have happened.

So, you know, it's a perfect illustration of the fact that we actually don't need dragnet mass surveillance. What we need is for cops to be able to solve murders, to be able to follow real leads and to react when people are truly dangerous.

DESVARIEUX: But, Kade, you'll have people argue that this attack couldn't be stopped unless we have an increased police presence and that we can still have a larger, more mobilized police presence in order to deter violence. What's your response to that?

CROCKFORD: Well, you know, violence happens for all sorts of different reasons in our society. But, again, in fact, the facts, according to the FBI, at least, in this case, are very clear, and they show that had the murder been solved in 2011 in Waltham, you know, we wouldn't have been facing the tragedy that we did in 2013.

So murder clearance rates across the country are very, very bad at police departments nationwide. I think one in four murders in the city of Chicago is solved. This is a critical crisis in public safety in this country, and I think it's really telling that instead of developing the resources and the skills of homicide investigations and homicide investigators and detectives to go after--to figure out how actual crimes were committed, police departments and the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security and criminal justice researchers are spending so much time and energy figuring out how to turn large data sets into crime prevention, sort of in the way that you see in Minority Report, to use futuristic technologies that implicate the privacy of millions of people instead of just doing gumshoe police work. And again, the facts in this case demonstrate that gumshoe police work and not those massive databases could have made all the difference.

DESVARIEUX: Kade, I'm going to present you a statistic. There are an estimated 300 million privately owned firearms in the U.S. That's according to the Pew Research Center. So in a heavily armed country you're going to have people that argue, don't police have the right to be equally protected by arming themselves against folks who have these weapons?

CROCKFORD: So this is a little bit of a red herring. When we talk about police militarization, the kinds of things that we civil libertarians have problems with are, for example, no-knock raids, militarized raids in the middle of the night, as if it's, you know, a suspected terrorist's house somewhere in a foreign battlefield and it's Joint Special Operations Command. I mean, these are very similarly conducted. You know, bust down the door, shoot pets, you know, kill innocent people sometimes.

And what we have found, actually, is that often there is no showing that anyone in the house has a weapon. Police officers don't often need to make a showing to a judge these days in no-knock raids that anyone in the house is armed. They don't have to have any evidence of that, often. And so what we see, then, is that innocent people die. And it's not because the targets of the raid are armed and are shooting at police. It's because police come in with this over-the-top, adrenaline, you know, junky style, militarized raid environment and really bad things can happen.

You know, nobody is saying--the ACLU is not saying that if law enforcement has evidence to show that somebody is holed up in their house with a bunch of machine guns and bombs that, you know, a SWAT raid can't take place. No one is saying that. What we're saying is that when there's no evidence that anyone's violent and, you know, the warrant being served has to do with a nonviolent drug offense, which is so often the case, that the response from law enforcement is increasingly militarized and heavy-handed, and it's hurting people and it's hurting our communities.

DESVARIEUX: Alright. Kade Crockford, ACLU of Massachusetts, thank you so much for joining us.

CROCKFORD: Thanks for having me.

DESVARIEUX: And thank you for joining us on The Real News Network.
