We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
Oh for the day when a real leader asked Americans to be courageous, rather than the clowns and actors as we have now playing on fear. But times have changed. Post war, fascism merely moved to the other side of the Atlantic.
We have no enemies. No one wants to do anything to us ever except perhaps extract revenge. The amazing thing is that despite our historic provocation, and the ease with which a bomb can be planted on a bus or left in the queue waiting to be scanned at the airport, it has not happened. There is no defense against such attacks. They have not happened.
I assumed with Boston that the fake perpetrator would be Syrian. That’s me, the linear thinker. I don’t know who the patsy is, but realized that to prep us for the attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq, they used Saudis. Americans do not know geography, so it doesn’t matter. Anyone of Mideast origin will do.
Imagine a state like Missouri, heavily populated. Imagine the the resident evil in Washington decided first to demonize Missourians, accusing them of fake crimes, and then bomb them. Perhaps the object is an oil field or a state bank that is dissing the Fed. Schools, hospitals, shopping malls would be blown to bits, killing indiscriminate. People there, frightened and angry, would hunker down. Young men would seek weapons and fight back. We would refer to those young men as “terrorists.”
Americans in other states would only see the video games, bombs exploding from the bomber’s eye. Occasionally real pictures, like Abu Ghraib or Collateral Murder, might filter through. Perpetrators of the crime of exposing resident evil, like Bradley Manning, would be made an example for others to take note of and stand down. The terror machine is too big.
Syria, Iran, Lebanon are peaceful countries. Maybe they could have better governments, but when a terror state like ours supports a terror state like Saudi Arabia, there’s nothing to say about that. Don’t be absurd. We will soon be bombing them, introducing terror into their daily existence, murdering women and children, installing terror-based American-backed governments.
All for Wall Street. All for London. War, after all, is a racket.
Boston, ricin, and I assume Waco as well, are most likely domestic terrorism. The Korean provocation somehow slots in too. Americans are deeply indoctrinated, so that such an idea cannot penetrate conscious thought. It only produces the uncomprehending eye flicker. American news is not news, and our journalists are culled to remove curious pains-in-the-ass. They are nice, clueless, and smug.
The level of tension is very high. That is the objective. God I hope they’re done now. As with Iraq in 2003, I await the human tragedy soon to befall another innocent land and its people. It is so painful to endure, and for them … I cannot imagine. And I do indeed hate the resident evil that brings it about. But hatred means nothing to them. It’s all a game to them – power, wealth, control, chattel property, death and terror.
Again, the greatest tragedy in human history is the failure of the United States to disarm after World War II. Given all those weapons, they had to put them to productive use. Millions upon millions have paid a price, more to follow.

The father of the current two suspects, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, says his boys are innocent, set up by US Intelligence. Tamerlan has, in current American fashion, been murdered. Dzhokhar’s future prospects are not good. Once killed, they will be discovered to have possessed abundant evidence of guilt. They might even be guilty of doubting the offical truth of 9/11, a crime. American journalists will eat it up.
I was listening to the Boston police scanner last night as all of this unfolded and following it all on Twitter, about an hour before cable news started covering it. It was pretty amazing to watch and hear it all unfold in real time. If this was organized by the government, they have simultaneously done an amazing job of getting thousands of people in on the conspiracy (again) while also doing a shitty job of planting in our minds who it is we will attack next.

Again, the people doing their jobs are doing their jobs. I don’t seem to be able to get that point across to you.
Gus is fussing. Anyway, it only takes a few people to pull these things off. Policemen chasing a bad guy and then killing him don’t know any more than we do about this event. And the bad guy will never speak. Odd that his friends say he’s just a nice kid.

As you follow the bouncing ball, think (what if) these boys are patsies. Think in multiples. Think proxies. Syria, Central Africa, Veuezuela and Iran sould be at the top of the menu. North Korea, maybe not so much, it’s too close to two real bad-ass countries too strong to mess with directly. Could be nothing at all, but everyone’s watching intently.

Troop movements to Jordanian border seem to indicate Syria.

Of course, we aren’t going to invade anyone.
But then you’ll say, “but we are already at war with x and x,” which will means that our government carried out this attack for no reason at all, because they actually didn’t need to scare us in order to carry out these operations.
And at the end of the day, these guys aren’t even middle-eastern, and not apparently being connected to any government or “terrorist” organization.
But somehow whatever happens is going to prove you right.

Most of what we call terrorism originates in DC. These guys, now dead and gone, were Muslims. If we attack Syria, will you concede a connection?
The covert attack becomes overt is my point. That people don’t mindlessly give the US reason to attack them ought to raise an eyebrow. But then you got it on american news, so that’s it.
