FBI Casting Set Stage for Boston Marathon Bombing, Shootout, CharadeTony Cartalucci The implications are that the FBI knows Russia both possesses information on the case and is prepared to go public with it. For those involved in Americas terror racket, now would be a good time to divest. For those involved specifically in the Boston Marathon bombing, now would be a good time to come forward with information. Any and all involved, in whatever capacity, wittingly or unwittingly, stand to become scapegoats in order to save the FBI, DHS, TSA, and other federal agencies clearly engaged in a massive coverup. The Boston Police and a slew of reputable mainstream media outlets had reported earlier that the two suspects involved in a deadly shootout near Boston and suspected to be involved in the Boston bombings were missing Brown University student Sunil Tripathi, and Mike Mulugeta. The International Business Times reported in their article, Boston Marathon Bombing: Indian-Origin Sunil Tripathi One of Alleged Suspects, that: The other suspect named in the case is Mike Mulugeta. On Friday morning, it was reported that police arrested one of them. Where did CBS hear that Boston police revealed this information? CBS News would then blame the entire shift in narrative on social media and in particular, Reddit. Sunil Tripathi, 22, was last seen on the Providence, R.I. campus around 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 16. His cell phone, wallet, ID cards and bicycle his main form of transportation were found in the apartment he shared with other Brown University students. It is not uncommon for the FBI to aid in searches for missing people, especially if the search involves multiple states. However, that this false lead, and the allegedly confirmed identity of the Boston bombing suspects, both involved cases the FBI was working on prior to the Boston bombings and the subsequent deadly shootout and manhunt, raises immense suspicion. Heres why. Suspects Were on FBI Radar for Years The Wall Street Journal now reports that the FBI had interviewed at least one of the two Boston bombing suspects as early as 2011. In their article, Renewed Fears About Homegrown Terror Threat, WSJ reports that: The fact that the FBI spoke with Mr. Tsarnaev, who was killed Friday morning in a firefight with authorities, is likely to become a focal point of the post mortem into how the attack was able to be carried out at the Boston Marathon. It also speaks to the challenge faced by authorities as terrorism morphs to some extent from the complex international plots of a decade ago to small-scale attacks carried out by individuals located within U.S. RT would report that the mother of the suspect claimed the FBI had been monitoring her sons ever since, and led them along every step of the way. In an article titled, They were set up, FBI followed them for years- Tsarnaevs mother to RT, it stated of the suspects mother: Interestingly enough, the WSJ also stated that: What the WSJ categorically fails to mention is that these foiled plots were from start to finish engineered by the FBI itself, with suspects, just as Tsarnaevs mother had claimed of her sons, under constant FBI surveillance, and in fact led along every step of the way in the lead up to high-profile arrests. What is also subsequently left out by the WSJ is that during these undercover operations, real vehicles, weapons, and explosives are involved, and usually switched out for inert items right before the final attack and arrests are made. One thing the WSJ is absolutely correct about is that the FBIs involvement prior to the attack will become a focal point of the post mortem into how the attack was able to be carried out at the Boston Marathon. While the WSJ offers nothing useful in examining that focal point, a look at the FBIs foiled plots will reveal shocking implications about just how deeply the FBI may have been involved with these suspects before the bombing, shootout, and manhunt. In late September 2011, AFP reported that a man was charged with planning to fly explosive-packed, remote controlled airplanes into the Pentagon and the Capitol in Washington. In its report, US man charged with Pentagon bomb plot, AFP stated (emphasis added): However, the public was never in danger from the explosive devices, which were controlled by undercover FBI employees, the FBI said. Ferdaus was arrested in Framingham, near Boston, immediately after putting the newly delivered weapons into a storage container, the FBI said. Authorities described Ferdaus as a physics graduate from Northeastern University who followed al-Qaeda and was committed to violent jihad since early last year. In addition to explosives and small arms, the FBI also provided the suspect with grenades. According to FBI.gov in a release titled, Massachusetts Man Charged with Plotting Attack on Pentagon and U.S. Capitol and Attempting to Provide Material Support to a Foreign Terrorist Organization, it stated (emphasis added): If bombs, guns, and grenades sound strikingly familiar to the arsenal allegedly wielded by the most recent terror suspects the FBI admits it was in contact with since at least as early as 2011, that is because it is the standard terror-playset the FBI provides its patsies. In November 2010, a similar plot was engineered, then disrupted, also by the FBI this time in Portland, Oregon. The so-called Christmas Tree Bomber attempted to remote detonate a van he believed was filled with explosives, provided by the FBI, before being arrested during a Christmas tree lighting ceremony at Pioneer Courthouse Square. The FBIs official statement regarding the incident revealed that FBI agents had handled, even detonated live explosives with the entrapped suspect in Lincoln County in the lead up to the final failed bombing. The FBIs official statement titled, Oregon Resident Arrested in Plot to Bomb Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in Portland, released by the U.S. Attorneys Office on November 26, 2010 stated (emphasis added): Upon returning to Corvallis that same day, the affidavit alleges that Mohamud recorded a video of himself with the undercover FBI operatives in which he read a written statement that offered a rationale for his bomb attack. On Nov. 18, 2010, undercover FBI operatives picked up Mohamud to travel to Portland in order to finalize the details of the attack. Earlier this evening, Mohamud was arrested after he attempted to remotely detonate what he believed to be explosives in a van that was parked near the Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland, the affidavit alleges. Yet another operation was carried out by the FBI in February 2012, where yet another otherwise incapable patsy was provided with live explosives in the lead up to what was ultimately a failed suicide bombing at the US Capitol. USA Today reported in their article, FBI foils alleged suicide bomb attack on U.S. Capitol, that (emphasis added): The frightening trend of the FBI cultivating otherwise incapable terror suspects, providing them with and detonating real explosives, small arms and grenades before giving them inert or controlled devices to carry out attacks on public targets where mass casualties are averted only at the last possible moment, sets the stage for at the very least, incredible potential for catastrophic blunders, and at worst, false flag attacks. But does this mean the FBI is capable of turning such operations live, resulting in real terror attacks and loss of life? Has the FBI ever presided over sting operations that were actually carried out? The answer is yes. The FBI in fact was presiding over the terrorists who carried out the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The role of the FBI leading up to the deadly attack would most likely have gone unreported had an FBI informant not taped his conversations with FBI agents after growing suspicious during the uncover operation. The New York Times in their article, Tapes Depict Proposal to Thwart Bomb Used in Trade Center Blast, reported: The informer was to have helped the plotters build the bomb and supply the fake powder, but the plan was called off by an F.B.I. supervisor who had other ideas about how the informer, Emad A. Salem, should be used, the informer said. The account, which is given in the transcript of hundreds of hours of tape recordings Mr. Salem secretly made of his talks with law-enforcement agents, portrays the authorities as in a far better position than previously known to foil the Feb. 26 bombing of New York Citys tallest towers. The explosion left six people dead, more than 1,000 injured and damages in excess of half a billion dollars. Controlled Every Step of the Way RT has quoted the mother of the recent Boston bombing suspects as claiming of the FBI: They were controlling him, they were controlling his every step, indeed. Posing as extremist leaders and leading witless patsies along, just as the FBI has done in every case regarding its previous foiled plots, and even successful plots, like the 1993 WTC attack, should shift Americas attention not to Chechnya or the threat of domestic terrorism, but the immense incompetence and/or criminality of the FBI. As even mainstream sources concede the FBI had some sort of relationship with the Boston bombing suspects before the attack, there will be two arguments made. One, that the FBI simply doesnt have enough authority or resources to prevent domestic terror attacks, and needs more still. The other argument is that the FBI and other federal agencies have been behind every domestic terror attack or foiled plot for years, and constitutes the single greatest danger to the American people, both literally in terms of life and limb, and in terms of subverting and stripping away their liberty and dignity amidst a growing police state. In turn, this would require local law enforcement to cease all cooperation with the FBI, particularly with its Joint Terror Task Force (JTTF), raid local offices and make arrests where appropriate, and fold any agents who are willing and capable, into local and state agencies. In essence, the FBI should be dismantled from top to bottom, and an alternative put in its place. What is clear is that the Boston bombing suspects were contacted by the FBI at least as early as 2011. Between then and the attack, there is a gap where the FBI may or may not have been involved. While the FBI may have in fact been cultivating these suspects prior to the Boston bombing, they are now the very ones investigating the case, opening the door to the destruction of evidence, and ultimately a coverup. Whats more, theres most likely several more of these operations being engineered right now by the FBI. If America is serious about stopping the next Boston bombing, the key is not issuing the FBI and its federal affiliates more authority and funding, but issuing local law enforcement warrants to raid FBI offices. While the people of Boston allegedly take to the streets to celebrate the capture of the remaining Boston bombing suspect, celebrations should turn to outrage as details emerge that yet another terror attack in America, which has claimed innocent lives, was the work not of cave dwelling militants abroad, but by the very people we foolishly entrust with our safety and security at home.
