Still Unanswered Questions Involving the 2013 Boston Bombings

I'm scratching my head on this one...
I wish I could find & Share the YouTube Video I am talking about, on my Mobile but I haven't figured that one out yet. IN this Video You see a''boyfriend" in a redshirt walk out of a Footlocker looking store to help his "'Dead Girlfriend" get in her spot, for A beautiful heartfelt shot of him resting his head on hers.... very touching, then she has another shot with" Rescue" holding pressure on her leg. I guess she died while her boyfriend decided to leave her on the sidewalk alone for others to help... Problem is the video is the in store security Camera, and it got The sidewalk in front of the store, along with the actors getting in place throughthe Store window.

My Mind is blown, how they have the gall to do it in front of our faces & then Ask for Donations'!!!



How many times will I be able to fit window. "window . " In a thread reply!?!

1. Why were runners told there was a bomb squad drill that day, only to have authorities deny such things? Why was it announced as a drill immediately following the bombings?

I only saw one person suggest that there was any "drill" before or during the event, and it was pointed out later that this person only said that because they saw dogs there, and they translated this themselves to mean that there was a "drill". There was no other evidence I saw that anyone else said anything about there being any drills.

2. Authorities early on said that the devices used were "too advanced" and "not the kind of thing learned from Google" and that they were sure the brothers were not acting alone and were part of a bigger "sleeper cell" of terrorists. What ever came of this?

Sounds like people giving their early opinions on something, and as often happens people take this too literally later. Someone suggesting something on the news is not "official" opinion.

3. Family said that the FBI had contact with the Tsarnaevs as early as 2011 and possibly for up to 5 years prior. Why, and if so why wasn't any of this seen coming? What contact did the FBI have?

Wasn't there investigation for crimes committed by the mother? Perhaps that has something to do with it?
And, lets not forget that the case in ongoing, so why would they be releasing all this information to the public just to satisfy suspicious conspiracy theorists and risking damaging the case?

4. Who was the Saudi national Abdulrahman Ali Alharbi, who was at the event, who has numerous Al-Queda links?

Any source for this? (credible)

5. Why did John Kerry and Barrack Obama quickly meet with Saudi officials after the event?

Again, any source for this?

6. Who were the CRAFT black-op teams all around the bomb sites and why were they there? Note: they had backpacks nearly identical to what was used in the explosion.

Identical how? Did you see the backpacks used? I mean other than the destroyed remnants of them purportedly shown in images.
I believe they were hired as private security, something often done for events when the city/state isn't supplying enough police for an event. There are insurance requirements for all kinds of events, they all require security and medical staff etc.

7. Why was so much of the glass of buildings blown outward when the explosion occurred outside on the sidewalk?

There are two reasons for this. Firstly I believe many of the larger windows were double glazed and shatter resistant, meaning that they are coated to prevent large pieces. This means that they could be shattered from the outside (under more considerable force) and bounce off the inner pane. The outer pane would shatter first, then the second, this short delay would prevent much of the glass from flying inward.

There are also windows ABOVE the scene, so much of the glass outside could have come from above rather than just from those shattered windows.

8. Why was the fraudulent "cowboy hero", Carlos Arrendondo, even there along with several other crisis actors?

Seriously?
I'm not even gonna justify this bs theory with a response.

9. What happened to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in the months following his arrest and before the court proceedings, and why are there no pictures or videos of him?

What, you demand a live 24 hour web cam streaming from his prison cell? Get a grip.

10. Under what authority was martial law declared in Boston and warrentless house-to-house searches ensued?

Martial law WAS NOT declared in Boston. It was a voluntary curfew for the safety of citizens and to assist in the capture of two fugitives.

originally posted by: TheNewRevolution
11. Why did the police open fire on the boat if they were supposed to capture Dzhokhar alive and he was not firing back?

As stated, they did not know whether he had another explosive device with him. Lets not forget that other reports were that there were bombs all over Boston mediately after the attack, and there was a report that one was attempted in the shoot out with the brothers too.
For all they knew he had a suicide vest on.
And, just a reminder, they DID capture him alive.

12. Why was Ibrogim Todashev, friend of Tamerlan, who was admittedly unarmed, shot and killed by the FBI in his apartment a month after the bombings?

Well according to the report he attacked an officer while writing a statement about his relationship to Tsarnaev and a triple homicide in 2011. If you have any evidence to contradict this, plese share.

13. Why did the US not heed the supposed warnings from Russia about the two men?

Good question.

14. The FBI claimed to have video of Tsarnaev planting the bomb and that they would release it. Was this video ever released?

Yes. I think most of us have seen the videos and photos of both brothers arriving at the scene with their bags, and then fleeing the scene shortly before the explosions. Of course, some will never be happy with any evidence provided, because they desperately want this to be more than it actually was.

Hell, Tsarnaev has even stated that he's guilty of this crime and people STILL desperately want to claim that someone else did it.

Come on, even I can see that this guy is NOT the same guy, his nose is massively different for a start.
Are people really this desperate to blame an "evil government" for mass murder that they willfully lie to themselves about things that are clearly right in front of them?

if the new footage is real then ive been convinced he did drop his bag, whether it was the bag that exploded i dont know footage isnt clear enough to see but they say he bought milk 20 mins later, wierd, but if it all was him then were they that stupid to think they wouldnt have been on some sort of footage in this technological age

I do remember the report of another one at the library, without any follow up. Great memory, glad you brought it up. Wth happened with that... !?

It was proven to be nothing but an electrical fire if memory serves. Totally unrelated to the events of that day.

Whoa, I was sure that was the clip. It has been re-edited! The clip I wanted to post was deleted from Youtube "add to" list.

The original showed Tamerlan naked then made to lie face down on the street, for a longtime, later put into a Police Car. I live in the Boston area and never heard another word about this, but watched it on the News the evening of. I have the original footage on my computer.
Tsarnaev's Aunt claimed it was him. I really don't know, but never heard another word about it.

a reply to: ugmold

I remember that too. The man was simply a cyclist in the area that matched the description of the older brother. Once his identity was determined, he was released. It was a no-op...just a case of skittish police and coincidental appearance. THat is why you never heard anything more about it....nothing sinister, that is how investigations are done.

1. Get a description of the suspect
2. Search for people who match the description (and respond to report of those who match the description)
3. Stop and question them (and in this case, make them remove their shirt to show they are not wired to explode)
4. Do a background check to ascertain their identities and likelihood of guilt
5. Release them if there is no match, and are proven innocent
6. Stop reporting on innocent people that have been ruled out

his lawyer's startling admission at the trial's outset that Tsarnaev carried out the terror attack with his now-dead older brother, Tamerlan.

www.chicagotribune.com...=1

His lawyer told the court he was guilty! His high profile, pro bono lawyer, Judy Clarke, the same lawyer who handled the Jared Loughner case (another highly suspicious false flag event), told the court her client was guilty. This is like Legal Advice 101 and yet a high profile lawyer goes against all common sense.

Whenever a court hearing is compromised, everyone expects the judge to be bought off, the prosecutor doesn't really need to be since its his job to accuse the suspect of being guilty, but what everyone always overlooks as being a key part of a fake trial is the DEFENSE. If you control the defense, you silence any type of arguments in favor of the suspect.

Jared Loughner initially pled not guilty but then after a year of forced psychiatric medicine he changed it to guilty. Same thing happened with Moussaoui, the "20th hijacker" and oh, who was his lawyer? Judy Clarke, of course.

Dang... if that's not a conspiracy I don't know what is. I believe it though - wouldnt surprise me ONE bit

a reply to: FamCore
As an attorney experienced in defending these type of clients, her strategy is not that surprising actually. She knows there is so much evidence against him (including his own confession when captured, and his "manifesto" scrawled inside the boat in his own blood) that there is not a chance in hell to win this on the basis of pleading innocent. So, you accept that and declare he is guilty, with mitigating circumstances (his brother coerced him). Now, this strategy is meant to not win, but to put enough doubt into the prosecutions case to take the death penalty off the table, and get him a life sentence. Then, while he serves his time you work on the numerous appeals in order to get it overturned on stuff you find and get exposed over the years. It allows you a hell of a lot more time to dig up crap, and to place doubt into everyone's mind (and keep the $$ fees rolling in as well, after all, she is a lawyer).

the above post is full of contradictions, among other "stuff"
the most egregious being:

(including his own confession when captured*, and his "manifesto" scrawled inside the boat in his own blood**)

is as much a pile of bs as wilson's INCREDIBLE claim of mike brown pausing in the middle of attempting to disarm him in order to hand over the "stolen cigars" to johnson.

*never mind the AMAZINGLY high BS Factor of both these alleged "confessions" made highly improbable by the fact that the kid was shot in the throat**

the 2nd being the argument that greed is a more "reasonable", logical, and acceptable explanation for clarke's despicable malfeasance, than the possibility that Tsarnaev has been made a patsy

(and keep the $$ fees rolling in as well, after all, she is a lawyer)

followed up by the posters then trashing the profession s/he belongs to, and appealing to popular prejudice.

any lawyer that acquiesces and plays along with what is obviously an either fake or coerced confession
IS SCUM.

she should be hung from a streetlamp with her own guts.

or from her teats "The Man Called Horse"-style

a reply to: Krakatoa


If he confessed to the murder two different times, why did he plead not guilty?

The whole thing stinks! Who are you kidding? There is so much evidence that this was a crappy crisis acting stunt I am surprised it got this far. The bombs were smoke bombs, the injured were painted with fake blood, they had wheelchair races (until out of camera shot - except some cameras were still rolling).
I won't need to link any youtube videos clearly demonstrating this - there are far too many.
There are no autopsies of those who died and no history of the injured.
Pants and tops were shredded to bits with no skin injuries - just looked like they had been beaten up.
There were late comers (probably didnt get paid in the end) who are clearly seen uninjured walking AFTER the blast, sitting down and being painted with fake blood. Makes ms sick to think people believe this #e.

a reply to: anonymous1legion

you do know that video is not the original video right ?

a reply to: anonymous1legion

it's all photoshopped. when you look at the 11 minute mark like you suggested. after he drops off the backpack. Look at where his left hand is. it is exactly where it is when he's coming in before he drops off the backpack. it's holding the backpack strap. the only difference is the backpack has been photoshopped out. when he's walking away his left hand is holding the strap. there's no other reason for his hand in the air like that. it is in the exact same position when he's leaving. as it was when he was coming in. he is even leaning a little bit to the left as he walks away because of the weight of whatever is in the backpack.

Another point thats been quietly pushed under the rug of silence is the fact that Ruslan Tsarnaev, the brothers uncle who was on TV condeming them to hell fire, is married to a woman named Samantha Fuller.

While that name may not ring a bell, at the time it didn't ring one in my mind, if you know who Samanthas daddy is, it makes a whole world of difference.

Samanthas daddy is GRAHAM E FULLER, former vice cahairan for the National Intelligence Council, former station cheif in Kabul for the CIA, and as someone wrote a while ago, a player of magitude in the iarn contra affair..

Isn't that strange...

Yes they are desperate. Have you noticed that every single major (bad) event that has occurred on US soil is portrayed here on ATS as some evil conspiracy by it's own government paranoid or what !.

Some people in the US need a reality check, the rest of the world has had this kind of thing for decades, usually from domestic terrorism. But since world wide travel is now commonplace and people are travelling around far more and we have an internet which shuffles information from one side of the globe to the other in an instant it should come as no suprise to anyone with half a brain cell that the US is now as prone to the dangers of terrorism as the rest of the world has been for ages

(and keep the $$ fees rolling in as well, after all, she is a lawyer)

But I thought she is defending him Pro-Bono, meaning she isn't charging?

His high profile, pro bono lawyer, Judy Clarke, the same lawyer who handled the Jared Loughner case

Is she still paid by someone? Who would pay for her to represent an alleged extremist who killed people, and what would their incentive be?

It was proven to be nothing but an electrical fire if memory serves. Totally unrelated to the events of that day.

Was that the final explanation? This is what I found so not sure what actually happened:

www.nydailynews.com...

Employees in the library heard a blast before the fire started. This article was 2 days after the Marathon bombings.

Also, the fire dept. initially said the third explosion was linked to the Boston Marathon blasts, but then later changed it and said it had no relation. I also specifically heard on CNN that the Boston PD said there was a CONFIRMED bomb at the library. Then the story changed. There were also possible bombs in other areas as well.

www.businessinsider.com...

Like I said, whether the official story said the blast was unrelated, this has always bothered me.
