Media Fog of War Ensues in Wake of Boston Marathon BombingBrandon Turbeville Shortly after the article was posted, some of the questions resulting from the reports I cited (particularly that regarding the Boston Globe tweets and the announcement of controlled explosions) were answered. Considering the track record of government-sponsored false flag attacks, however, the incident has seemed suspicious from the very beginning. This suspicion has been bolstered by the fact that mainstream media pundits are uniting in their promotion of the theory that the Boston Bombing was, in fact, the handiwork of rightwing extremists and anti-tax people. With the obvious and increasing trend toward a total police state, it is also a suspicious that one result of the attack would be the de facto military occupation of Boston by the Massachusetts National Guard. Regardless, however, some information which was reported in the fog of the aftermath of the bombings by a variety of alternative media outlets, including myself, such as the existence of a planned controlled explosion. After further examination, it has been determined not to be of the significance that it was originally thought. In the hours after the event, the reports of a controlled explosion were interpreted by some to mean a planned drill and were reported accordingly. This interpretation was bolstered by a Boston Globe tweet which announced the controlled explosion. However, in reality, the tweet was only announcing the destruction of the secondary device and was released close to an hour after the initial bombings. AsMadison Ruppert of End the Lie writes, But, while those of us who may have reported this information improperly have a responsibility to retract it, it is also true that there are numerous aspects regarding the Boston Bombings and the JFK library explosion/fire which are still quite suspicious. While an explosion was indeed reported by police at the JFK library and subsequently published as such by the New York Post, it was later reported that the incident was nothing more than a fire that wasunrelated to the initial bombings. Not only that, but the fact remains that the University of Mobiles Cross Country Coach, Ali Stevenson, stated that bomb sniffing dogs were present at both the start and finish lines, a highly questionable circumstance if the bombings were not known to be set ahead of time, at least to some extent. Speaking to Local 15, Stevenson stated, They kept making announcements on the loud speaker that it was just a drill and there was nothing to worry about. It seemed like there was some sort of threat, but they kept telling us it was just a drill. It should also be noted, however, that, in another report, the text of Stevensons statement was changed. Again, as Madison Ruppert writes, Regardless of whether the issue surrounding the controlled explosions and Boston Globe tweets have been settled, there are clearly plenty of reasons to suspect that the Boston Bombings were, indeed, false flag attacks. However, while some evidence may point in this direction, it would be wise for all of us observers, activists, alternative media outlets, etc. including myself, to slow down, take a look at the facts for what they are and make our judgments accordingly.
