    Dafuq?

    Jesus Christ.

    Some people on infowars have done this impressive link-and-paste job on photos from the bombing. Little amateur sleuth bastards - I wish I had time for this kind of thing.

    Anyway, they make an impressive case for the connection of some of the blown-up backpacks with people carrying them in the crowd. Fuck. When I heard people were looking at the photos, I thought it would be a complete waste of time. I think I was sadly mistaken. Crazy. Anyway, have a look.

    Hmm. I note that two guys there appear to be wearing 'fatigue casuals' and desert boots. Or construction boots? Maybe the infowars ppl have unwittingly identified special forces security?

    Oh - and some people will hate this point; soorrry

    - if you go back to the first video posted about the first bomb, did anyone else notice that the bomb went off right behind the Israeli flag? Coincidence, maybe. :shrug: Or maybe not. I've heard some noise on the wires about this objection some people in certain camps have about the public display of the Israeli flag. Could be nothing, but it's another coincidence.

    Yes, he's a fruitcake,
    but that doesn't mean that everything he says is wrong.
    And it doesn't mean that all his sources are fruitcakes.

    The work on the pictures from Boston was done by Steven Watson.
    Clever man.
    I wonder whether the person the police have arrested will turn out to be one of the people he pointed out.

    Those military-type people with the heavy backpacks and mobile phones. Good find Watson.
    Who the hell are they?

    Trouble is.
    Alex needs to be constrained from constructing some crazy theory about it.
    If he can manage to keep his trap shut, he has something which will take some explaining.

    The images are interesting, particularly the fella who is wearing the backpack in one photo, then not wearing it in another. I don't really give credence to the whole "the bag is sagging, therefore bomb," and a few pictures didn't even make any sense. (the one with the girl's bottom circled and the caption "da bomb" was pretty funny, though) I don't find running away from the scene of an explosion to be suspicious behavior, either.

    As for the two guys wearing matching outfits, I can't imagine they had anything to do with it. If you're planting a bomb, you want to be inconspicuous. Dressing like twins isn't exactly a good way to keep a low profile.

    The two in the semi-camo and the desert boots? Yeah, does seem strange that they'd dress alike to bomb something. The photo-boys seemed to think one of their backpacks was one that was blown apart, however, and it does look like that.

    what about the UM Coach's account? they somehow figured something out beforehand, or was it just a drill?

    There seemed to be only one obvious feature the blown-apart bag shared with the bags the twins were wearing, which was the tag on the top. But several bags seemed to have that tag, and I'd bet there were thousands of bags in that crowd with similar features.

    And do we even know that the bag laying in the street had anything to do with the bomb? It might have just been one a victim was wearing.

    No clue. It could have been either.

    Yeah. The one guy is a POI for sure - bag, then no bag. Ding ding. The other bags... maybe not, but they haven't picked out any similar bags from the crowd yet. I agree, there are ways in which it might be coincidence.

    Maybe - but that's a shitload of damage that bag's taken without the carrier being deadnified. Unless it was one of the ones critically injured, maybe.

    They look like Blackwater types - but why the hell would Blackwater-type security be there?

    Bring in the conspiracy nuts.



    @balerion,

    Interestingly, Local 15 were accused by a commenter of yellow journalism.

    Hang on a mo, thats what exactly the police do. They ask questions of everyone there, they have too. The whole police investigations are based on finding out conspiracy if more than one person was involved, which none of us know yet.

    The police are the biggest conspiracy theorists out there, they have to be. To find answers they are looking for, they need to ask questions.

    The world is full of all sorts of conspiracies, by groups of people doing harm to others. Amazing, that people like you think conspiracies do not happen.

    Unless, like the other "suspect," he moved it from his back to his arm.

    I dunno, those pictures seemed to show several similar bags in the crowd.

    People lost limbs in the blast, so I don't think a torn up backpack is outside the realm of possibilities. And the bag itself seemed considerably smaller than the ones being worn by the big fellas.

    They wouldn't. My guess is that they were just a couple of dudes.

    Since when did I say that I do not believe in conspiracies?

    Anyway, most of those conspiracy nuts focus on false flags and ONW-style.

    This bombing is conspiracy nut heaven!

    From the Washington Times:
    Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano dismissed a question “not worthy of an answer” by Rep. Jeff Duncan during a Capitol Hill hearing Thursday, who asked about the alleged deportation of a Saudi national who was questioned as a witness in the Boston bombings.
    “We have someone who’s being deported due to national security concerns,” the South Carolina Republican said. “We’ve got this guy who was there, we know he was there…and yet we’re going to deport him? We’re going to remove him from the scene?”

    Well, interestingly enough, he was a member of a prominent family and let go after a couple closed unscheduled meetings between White House officials and the Saudi Foreign Office.

    I'm sure there's no correlation.
