Marathon bombing is now settled history. What next?

Posting will be light here in the coming days, and if I write again about Boston, shoot your monitor.

The Boston Marathon bombing was a staged event, and many questions linger. But another event will be along soon, so this one needs to go on the shelf. Maybe fifty years from now some young participant will write in his memoirs how well it worked. Keep in mind Karl Rove’s* words as recounted by Ron Suskind,

…the aide said that guys like me were “in what we call the reality-based community,” which he defined as people who “believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.” … “That’s not the way the world really works anymore,” he continued. “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors … and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

A few concluding thoughts:

  • Advertising presence: Stage VogtThe image to the right here of Vince Vogt, complete with a cowboy hat and a flag (out of frame), is meant to invoke an Iwo Jima image in our minds. It was skillfully crafted, the photographers patiently waited for it making sure they had the right angle. The event planners brought in outside talent to assist – they wanted a lasting archetypical image seared in our brains. Even use of the Boston Marathon itself, invoking our Revolutionary War myths like the Boston Massacre and Paul Revere, served their purposes.
  • Actors: Don’t fret about this too much. Some know what they are doing, most are just looking for work. “Crisis Actors” are common all over the country in civil defense and medical emergency drills. Those drills are made to look as real as possible for participants.

    Witness 1Witness 1The woman on the left and right here appeared as a street witness to the Marathon bombing (left) and Watertown shootings (right). Apparently CNN likes her work.

    The clip above is the famous “Harley Man,” an actor who might be called “Mark Walsh,” but who knows. He’s supposedly among a milling crowd (!) in an area that had been evacuated, and my oh my, has amazing detail to offer.

  • Patsies: The role of the patsy, in this case the Tsarnaev brothers, is twofold: One, to be on-scene for blaming purposes, and two, to be murdered to open-and-shut the case and prevent investigation. That is why the FBI knew of these guys – they were being shepherded, or babysat, kept on hand in case needed. They were probably on the FBI or CIA (I repeat myself) payroll in some form – money flows freely from countless sources, and the brothers had impressive lifestyles.

    Another patsy, James Holmes, is still alive, but note the deep trance he is in here, probably resulting from drugs and hypnosis. The formerly bright and engaging young man is now a zombie. Like Sirhan Sirhan, he probably has no memory of that night. If he does show signs of memory recovery, he’ll be killed. Other patsies, like the Shoe Bomber, shoe-bomber-reidare probably psychotic, carefully guided along in commission of crimes with agents certain that they don’t possess enough explosives to do real harm. Underpants Bomber fits that profile. That’s the patsy game.

  • Media complicity: This is a hard-sell, as Americans deeply trust serious men in suits and attractive women telling us about events on TV. Former CIA Directors William Colby famously said that ““The CIA owns everyone of any significance in the major media.” That’s water off a duck for the public, as such an idea is preposterous. But it’s probably true, so far down the road are we in la-la land.

    Some, like Brian Williams, a community college dropout, are probably too stupid to figure anything out, but Anderson Cooper is a smart dude. When he interviews “Heather Abbott”, he knows what’s up. He’s complicit.

  • No real insjuries beyond Tsarnaev’s and Ibragim Todashev: This is a puzzler, and I take no comfort in it. These are murderers in our midst. Why innocent goddamned bystanders were spared in Boston – I have no clue. Maybe its cheaper and more efficient just to use media images than real victims.
  • Strategy of tension: These events have been rolling along at three and four-month intervals since the most famous patsy of all, Osama bin Laden (1957-2001) was officially “killed” in 2011. He was the evil face of the enemy, and once dead, had to be replaced. So we now have regular booster shots of new fear, new events, new faces. The motive is to keep our state of tension high, to prepare us for anything new on the horizon, such as a new war abroad or new attacks on civil liberties at home. Given the ease with which these events are put on our plate and swallowed whole now, I’d say we’re circling the drain.

I’ve been examining photographs at a website called “Nodisinfo.com,” but have not linked there because I don’t trust them. They toss in the pejoratives like “Zionist media” at every opportunity, so that anyone who frequents the site will pick up on anti-Semitism, poisoning the well.

I find Zionism repugnant, and even tentatively trust historians who claim that Ashkenazi Jews are of Central European origin, but the whole idea of a historical claim to someone else’s land is repugnant (unless Americans are ready to pack up and leave). Nodisinfo.com is probably an “op” site, meant to spread disinfo and put there by the same people who pulled off the Marathon event itself. Such tactics mislead skeptics and keep the jugglers’ balls in the air. Even so, it’s a “limited hangout” and so offers some good evidence. That too is common – to tell us enough to keep us wanting more, but never enough to know what’s really up. It’s part of full-spectrum information control. Everyone, including skeptics, are manipulated.

Most Americans, 95%?, will never truck in skepticism. And those that do … it’s a hall of mirrors, a puzzle palace.So all of us, gullible and skeptical alike, are owned by mainstream media and its images and agitprop.

So, let’s move on to the next event, scheduled I imagine, before August, a media wasteland. (Andrew Card: “You don’t introduce new products in August.”) The matter of the Boston Marathon Bombing is now settled history. They got away with it …. again.

  1. To what end? These “methods” have a larger purpose. Empire is the game. It’s global. Its enemy is you and me, “the people.” Why? Because we have the power to end it all. Since Athens, democracy has been the antidote to a criminal class of autocrats and plutocrats enslaving people and raping and scraping the commonwealth.

    1. You just discovered this? You didn’t know this? How can you think of yourself as even half-assed informed and not know this? And also, you think it’s a good thing?

      I think it was Morales in Ecuador who shut down the US base there (“War on Drugs” Pentagon said it was for, not even cracking a smile). He said that if he could put a base in Miami, US could have a base in his country.

      He’s a dead man for doing that, of course. But you do get the point, don’t you? Bases are never for what you are told they are for.
