In the close ups of "white hat guy", it looks like he's wearing a zip-up jogging jacket, he could be wearing a t-shirt underneath with that lettering, and merely has it unzipped in this picture. No sunglasses though.


You'd think by now that the "Suspects" in all of these pictures would have contacted the news or the cops and protesting quite loudly that they are not the bombers. Everything in the case seems like its going in slow motion for some reason. You'd think they would have framed someone by now, if that was the intent, but the authorities seems genuinely stuck on this one.

An old college buddy of mine who played for the Pats, Teddy Bruschi was in one of those hotels and witnessed both explosions. I dont know which hotel but he said he looked to the right and saw one and then to left and saw the other so somewhere in the middle I suppose.

You lucky bastard. He's probably just as good and cool a guy as he seems, right?
A fuckin' hero, too, to anyone who's had a stroke or a stroke in the family.

Speaking of heroes and former Patriots...



For all the justifiable skepticism of events, and the aversion to jingoism and the wars it engenders...
It would be a sin not to recognize true heroism (and even patriotism, gasp) where it exists.
Like Andruzzi's brothers:



Here are stories on Bruschi and Andruzzi's experiences from Monday:

Well, now. Steve Emerson, was Pamela Geller your source?
Or, maybe you two have the same friend(s)? WHO?

Grain of salt for the source, or perhaps inversely, a magnifying glass on the source.

http://www.examiner.com/article/boston- ... b_articles

The Saudi National, Abdul al-Harbi, who has been questioned after the Boston Marathon bombing, is being immediately deported on "national security grounds."

Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs reports:

He is from a very powerful Saudi family with many terrorist ties. Abdul al-Harbi is a devout Muslim from Medina.

I said it takes longer than 15 hours to investigate all of Abdul al-Harbi's relatives, friends, acquaintances, and business and school friends.

Perhaps a quick look at the Arabic sources should raise the eyebrows of every American relative to the extent of the problem at hand. Many from Al-Harbi’s clan are steeped in terrorism and are members of Al-Qaeda. Out of a list of 85 terrorists listed by the Saudi government shows several of Al-Harbi clan to have been active fighters in Al-Qaeda:

When I heard he was from a very powerful Saudi family, I worried about this kind of thing happening.

Why suddenly is al-Harbi being sent out of the country as the terror investigation is yet, ongoing?

On Wednesday evening, Reuters reported that President Obama held an unscheduled meeting this afternoon with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal at the White House.

The meeting, was closed to the press, as was Secretary of State John Kerry's Tuesday meeting with al-Faisal.

White House spokeswoman, Caitlin Hayden, described the curiously timed meeting in a statement, saying: "The president and Prince Saud al-Faisal reaffirmed the strong partnership between the United States and Saudi Arabia and discussed developments in the region, including the conflict in Syria."

Curiously enough, the Boston Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation scheduled a press conference for Wednesday afternoon to give an update on the investigation, and perhaps, to announce an arrest.

That briefing never happened.

Bold = my own. The article had its own emphases, but I didn't copy the format because fuck Geller.
Then again, if this info is legit, then Geller makes good points, i.e., WTF?
All this seems very familiar, no?

[justdrew]

maybe he just overstayed his visa

we'll see. maybe.

moving all the troops from afgan and iraq into Saudi Arabia wouldn't be impossible, and heck if we seized ALL Saudi assets, our money problems would be a thing of the past. Might as well set the place up as a US territory, carve out Mecca and a few other spots into an area held by some religious authority, or let Egypt run it, they have experience with tourism.

Anything new from 4chan? I don't know how to navigate their stuff.

Don't know how much is new, I haven't been following things closely, but there are a bunch of what look to be 4chan images on Infowars here:

http://www.infowars.com/boston-bombing-culprits-found/

huh







Photo 1 shows what looks like the badly dressed white guy with beard seemingly placing the backpack

Photo 2 shows possible said backpack on the lift, with the two "Seals team" looking guys looking on

Photo 3 shows in the upper center the two "middle eastern men with backpacks" in question, one in black and one in a blue tracksuit. Tho the blue tracksuit guy looks like a runner.

Are these the photos being looked over? For some reason the white dude with beard seems like a Kazynski sort of guy. Wouldnt it be a cluster fuck if it was two sets of dupes/bombers unbeknownst?
A leftwing professor type(or right wing extremist) and "two jihadis"?

This opens up the door to social network analysis, if they were behind the bombing we'll know soon enough.

More from that most suspect source (suspect in terms of accuracy and motive)...

(Thinking of Philip Marshall tonight, too.)

Again, folks: Balls in the air, multiple trees.

Exactly.

Shit, a tiny part of me wonders what people might have thought of a husky, pale white guy with a shoddy wiffle haircut wearing a bulky black backpack (full of notes only) and a thousand-yard stare, smoking a cigarette near one of the explosions, what kind of red circles would be drawn. In other words: ME, if I had taken that job and taken a smoke break to catch some of the marathon. Would a piece of shit like Thorndike be casting aspersions on me? (Would I be dead? Limbless?) Would there be a report headlined "Officials investigating a white male with an online history of professing anti-American conspiracy theories", or some such shit? Would someone have tried to make me a patsy? Again, I direct you all to my premonition. It was just an intuition, but was it ever. Iamwhomiam can attest to my describing the deja vu I experienced at the interview for the job. JackRiddler can attest to my generalized paranoia and anxiety, but not too generalized because I did mention my fear of Boston being a terrorist target. Those aren't even the two best instances of my having told someone my premonition. People, I may be myself...a noteworthy story. "Link?" Me. I'm a link. If the company that offered me the job is mentioned even once in relation to this attack, I might just literally piss myself.

Not sure about the Saudi angle, the Morrocans and the Iranians have already had their names and faces matched with social networking profiles.

Why are you withholding details, lol?

[General Patton]

He's going to the courthouse to settle it, so most of the leads were deadends. We'll see what happens, we still have some of the older guys to look at. Been up 30+ hours without sleep, I'm out for now.

Teddy is genuinely one of the good guys in pro sports, I had the pleasure of knowing him when he played at Arizona and have kept in touch with him over the years, we play golf when he is in town, indeed a very good guy, a regular guy as much as one can be in his shoes, I know they love him in Boston and for good reason, he is also a monster of a football player, or at least he was.

We have always wanted him to come and coach at Arizona, maybe someday.

Watched TV, seeing and hearing the anthem tonight as performed by 15,000 or so Bruins fans. It made me think of that chant in the song I love Fearless by Pink Floyd, the chant for years something I mistook as haunting foreign-language reverse-speech found audio, lol, I really had no idea. I've vaguely known in recent years that it's the Liverpool FC song, not at all in reverse, and in English believe it or not. Never bothered to look up the song or lyrics. Did tonight. What a beautiful song. Sung so madly and emotionally by so many grown men! What a beautiful choice for fan unity and team spirit. Choked me up, to be honest, thinking about Monday.

For years I wondered, vaguely, which English club would be the real equivalent of the Red Sox. Arsenal was posited, explicitly, as the Sox were the substitute in our Fever Pitch. Then there's Manchester City, they of the recent miracle comeback or something after years of disappointment. I'm well aware that Manchester United is to be despised, they are the Yankees. And then Liverpool, which kind of seemed like it was being pushed on us the last few years as our sister club, since the Sox owner bought Liverpool. But that song, by god, yes. Puts our faddish Sweet Caroline to shame, although I do love Sweet Caroline, unlike many of my snobbier fellow Sox fan nerds. You'll Never Walk Alone. Beautiful.

And so then I looked up Liverpool on wikipedia, and noticed that Hillsborough thing that someone had linked to once as an example of massive blatant coordinated deception on the part of the government, law enforcement, and the media -- and boy was it ever! -- thankfully rectified for good just a few months ago, I guess. Still many sons of bitches who deserve a comeuppance, but at least the fans are finally, thoroughly vindicated. And then, I noticed the date. April 15th.

Needless to say, I'm now a Liverpool fan for life, whenever I happen to remember there's such a sport as soccer or whatever it's supposed to be called. Just kidding. It's a great sport, especially as far as sports that could be played without much dropoff by the armless and handless go. Just kidding. A beautiful game. A beautiful song. April 15th. Noticed that opposing fans did the same back then, sing their rivals' song. I guess there's a template. Still, that kind of thing moves me.

The emergency was Monday.
It took place within a single city block.
(JFK Library being semi-related.)

So, what emergency? The emergency is over...isn't it?
"To lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in the counties of Middlesex, Norfolk, and Suffolk"?
What the fuck? Now I know why people tune in to scare-porn shit like Alex Jones.

Of all the forums and sites cyber sleuthing, people keep coming back to these three individuals it seems.



Maybe it will turn out(least as it will be reported) to be one or two completely different people not in the photos. Maybe the white dude and or the two middle eastern guys are innocent.
Some speculate they're all three in on it and the white guy is a Muslim convert.
