For the past 48 hours, internet users have been working with each other to piece together clues about the culprits of the Boston bombings. The result? They got it wrong - and left innocent people fearing for their safety. Many are now asking: should "crowd-sourced investigations" be stopped?
and now BBC is running an article criticising people who tried to gather evidence from the photos and videos.
It is nothing more and nothing less. It's terrible what happened in Boston but compared to one day in Iraq, Afghanistan or Libya, it's a tiny drop in a big bucket.

The thing that sets off alarm bells with me is the way the media, police and FBI are all telling us to ignore everything but the official line, even more so than the usual. We all know about the FBI press conference where it was said that all other photos should not be deemed credible, and now BBC is running an article criticising people who tried to gather evidence from the photos and videos.
Boston bombing: How internet detectives got it very wrong

So you feel the streets of the US should be like the streets of Afganistan?
Strange beliefs.

Hello ATS community.
This is the stuff they don't want us to see. Please share this information with everyone you know.
(Warning, some of these pictures are gruesome at first glance. I assure you though that the blood and gore is all fake, I can prove it simply by informed medical observation.)
I've studied and graduated EMT-B certification with the state of Oregon. I've been on calls with heavy arterial bleeds, internal bleeding, fatalities, doa's. I am speaking from direct personal experience with severe trauma.
Here is a telling photograph of the amputee actor. I encourage readers to view the photo side by side with my analysis.
If you loose both your legs from explosive trauma half your blood is gone in one minute via the femoral arteries, youre dead after two. Bleeding out is worse with blunt force trauma (like shrapnel) because flesh is torn rather than cut, exposing more arterial and vascular tissue. The human body holds 5 to 6 LITERS of blood. If that really happened you would see blood EVERYWHERE, the guy would be drenched in it. You would also see what's called arterial spurtting from the injury. Most likely he would vomit after turning ghost white from shock, then turning delirious or passing out. As for the "tourniquet"...
Its not even tied off, its suspended via gravity, which would literally do nothing to an arterial sever. There's no pressure applied. There's no knott with a turn stick for leverage. You can clearly see a gap in the nonexistent wrap job on his left inner thigh (left anterior proximal for you experts) His hands have no blood on them. There's no blood on the ground. The color in his hands and lips shows good circulation.
This is an actor. This is staged. How did they pull it off though? I can show you.
Here in frame six on the left we see the the man with a hood setting up the fake leg wound prosthetics. His attention and hands are right there. The woman is acting as a shield covering what's happening.
Frame 6
Here in frame eight the prosthetics are in place. Amidst all this chaos seconds after the explosion the hooded man takes the time to put on his sunglasses which is a signal.
Frame 8
Here in frame nine with sunglasses now on the hooded man and the woman make eye contact, signal received.
Frame 9
In frame eleven after recieving the go signal the woman makes an open hand gesture the direction both of them are looking, signaling the staged injuries are in place for cameras. The prone amputee raises his left prosthetic injury into the air over the woman's shoulder. No blood is present. The bone is dry, no blood on his leg above the knee, no blood on the woman, no arterial spurt, nothing.
Frame 11
Here in frame fourteen the woman turns her head right but is still holding up that open palm signal with her left hand. The hooded man again busies himself pouring fake blood on the pavement behind the woman. The amputee has both fake injuries in the air now. There is still no blood on his legs, his skin above the injury is clean and dry.
Frame 14
Frame twenty, the fake blood and prosthetics are in place. The amputee gives an open hand gesture along with the woman to bring the cameras in. We're now twenty frames in and still not a drop of fresh blood from a double leg amputation. His legs are dry, the woman is dry and unscathed. Both are making the same hand gesture.
Frame 20
These are actors. This is staged. It was flash powder. There was no crock pot nail bomb. There are no bombers, only patsy. If your looking for a gunman look at the Army in the streets of Boston. Share this knowledge with everyone.edit on 19-4-2013 by Mykah because: formatting

Well, no doubt this event did actually happen. As to whether it's a false flag as in the government doing it? Seems a bit thin, but then again, we still have NO terrorist groups claiming responsibility, when usually, they would have done so by now...so THAT is kind of odd.

From the link in the OP, I find this post that was imaged to be particularly interesting. Look for a raid to ensue tomorrow, if that occurs and the suspect is a young guy in his late teens early 20's along with all of the other descriptors stated in this Anonymous Post...well...that would be awfully coincidental wouldn't it?

hmmmm.....what of this?
Lautenberg Press Office, 202-224-3224
Wednesday, April 17, 2013
WASHINGTON, D.C.—In the wake of the deadly bombing attacks in Boston, U.S. Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) today announced that he will reintroduce legislation he has proposed in a prior Congress to require that sales of explosive powder be subject to a background check. He will also file the legislation as an amendment to the gun violence prevention bill currently on the Senate floor.
Say What? What kind of connection are you trying to make with this one. Is this a scrabble connection?

Is the government controlling the media reporting of the hunt down of the remaining brother?
It seems like many on here are spending their time watching the MSM. Not that they believe them.
What happened to the False FLag?
So wait, you plan out a bombing, succeed, get away...
Then you rob a 711 and car jack someone?
So your telling me they had the mental fortitude to pull this # off, but not have enough cash and a vehicle to get out of town?
CAAHMAANZ!
It's not like potential bombers haven't been coaxed into committing such an act before.
Didn't that happen in Chicago a few years back?
Not to mention Obama being so reassuring they would apprehend those responsible!
The bean dust would have served well to deflect blame.
Bomb dogs and CBRN units ready at 666 Boylston St.?
Doesn't pass the smell test whatsoever!
Smoke and mirrors!
I think this was the one. I just remember someone getting arrested on a plot in Chicago who was coaxed for months then arrested when he went to carry it out.
The bomb Hassoun planted was inoperable and had been provided to him by undercover FBI agents.
Man in Wrigleyville bomb plot deserves minimum sentence, defense argues
And another...
Instead, Daoud was set up in a months-long investigation in which an undercover FBI agent acted as Daoud’s partner in the alleged plot.
