Yep..They are the Craft..
Exercise "in progress"....Kinda like Operation "Vigilant Guardian" on 9/11.
Convenient.
The FBI fingered goons are just "suspects".
They claim one of them dropped his backpack at the spot of the explosion.
Where's the pic? where's the video?
All they offer are two young men walking down a sidewalk.
Drink it up.
Those arent "plainclothes" officers. They are ex military, private contractor civilians. Blackwater types.
Why were they there and who hired them?
Photos: Private military operatives hired to 'work' the Boston marathon with black backpacks, radiation detectors, tactical gear
Natural News has now confirmed that at least five private military contractors were operating on scene at the Boston marathon, and that they all carried black backpacks which look very similar to the backpack carrying the pressure cooker bomb (see pictures below).
The mainstream media is completely censoring any mention of these "Craft" operatives, pretending they don't even exist. Only the alternative media is conducting real investigative journalism on these bombings. The mainstream media isn't interested in the truth; they only want to spin the attack into a new way to somehow blame conservative Americans for something they had no part in.
Who is this guy and what is he holding in his hand?
The following photo was snapped mere moments after the first bomb detonation. Many people are asking, "Who is this guy?" and why is he dressed in combat boots and military BDUs (pants)? More importantly, what is he carrying in his hand?
We were able to get a close-up of the object in his hand:
With a bit of research, we were able to confirm this object is an "Inspector Radiation Alert" device that detects the kind of radiation which would be produced in a dirty bomb attack or a nuclear attack:
This immediately brings up all sorts of questions, such as: Who hired this guy? Whose side is he on? Why would he anticipate the need for a nuclear radiation detector? What kind of private military operative routinely carries such expensive gadgets?
Four more operatives with the exact same uniforms
As we browsed through the photos, we located four more private military operatives with the exact same dress: Tan combat boots, tan BDUs, black jackets, black backpacks and tactical communications gear.
Here's a picture of three of these men reacting to the explosion. The one in the middle is the same guy in the radiation detector photo, above:
There are several things worth noting in this image:
1) All three of the men look surprised, even shocked by the events. This might argue against their prior knowledge of the bombings.
2) The object in the right hand of the man in the middle may resemble a small handgun, but I'm sure it isn't. Why? Because no highly trained private military operative would carry a handgun with a "pincer" grip as appears in the photo. A proper grip on a handgun is far deeper into the palm. This object is most likely the same radiation detector shown above, just captured from a weird angle with a flapping leather case of some sort.
3) The man on the left, an older gentleman, appears to be holding an object in his right hand which seems capable of being actuated with his thumb.
4) The man on the right reveal "The Craft" skull logo on his shirt because his jacket just happened to open up for this photo (see below).
Here's a photo comparison of "The Craft" logo on his shirt:
Here are two more operatives on the scene, wearing the exact same uniform:
If you look at the hat for one of these men, you can clearly see "the Craft" skull logo on his hat:
Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle was also a member of The Craft. He was murdered by one of his close friends a few months ago. The appearance of The Craft operatives at the Boston marathon bombing raises new questions about Chris Kyle's death:
Here's Chris Kyle on national TV wearing the "Craft" hat:
Bomb bag resembles the black backpacks worn by The Craft operatives
Here's where all this gets incredibly spooky: The backpack that carried the pressure cooker bomb looks very similar to the black backpacks worn by The Craft operatives:
What does it all mean?
First off, let's get the attacks of the moron trolls out of the way -- people who will say these photos are a "conspiracy theory."
How are photos of actual people at the event a conspiracy theory?
They aren't. In real police work, they're called "evidence," and the people in these photos should be persons of interest.
But they aren't. The entire mainstream media and law enforcement apparatus is now pretending these men don't exist. (Now that's their conspiracy theory!)
We all know, however, that The Craft operatives don't work for free. They aren't a band of volunteers. And that means somebody paid them to be at the event.
Who paid The Craft to be there? And what was their mission?
Why is their existence at the Boston marathon being memory-holed? Why are they not "persons of interest" in the investigation?
Why do they carry radiation detectors? What's in their backpacks? (A ham sandwich?)
The fact that the media refuses to even acknowledge the existence of these private military operatives is quite telling all by itself.

Gallup: Only 4% of Americans Think Gun Control is an Important Problem
Only 4 percent of Americans think guns and gun control are an important problem facing the country, according to Gallup, and far more Americans are concerned about the economy, unemployment and the federal debt.

thats excellent reporting...
convenient the "authorities" were doing a bomb drill the day of the race?
Kinda like NORAD doing a "terrorist drill" the day of 9/11.
Goons with black backpacks..on..then off
Black ops, intelligence goons watching the whole thing. The bomb went off 30 feet to their right.
Convenient, Eh?

interesting info:
Cruz blamed the Obama Justice Department for failing to prosecute gun criminals, noting that of 48,000 felons or fugitives who tried to obtain weapons, only 44 were prosecuted.
The support just wasn’t there. Among the legislation that senators scheduled for vote was:
The Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act by Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and others. It expands background checks to gun shows and Internet sales. It also authorizes $400 million to upgrade the national background check database. It failed 54-46 under a requirement of 60 votes for adoption.
A proposal by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, to swap the background check provisions of the existing bill. It would target those who lie on background check applications and raise access to information about those who have been found mentally impaired by a court. It failed 52-48.
The Stop Illegal Trafficking in Firearms Act from Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and others. It would enable those who purchase guns for others to avoid a background check. It failed 58-42.
Concealed-carry reciprocity from Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and others. It would treat state-sponsored concealed carry permits like driver’s licenses, making them valid across state lines. It failed 57-43
The Assault Weapons Ban from Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and others. It targets hundreds of types of weapons for a complete ban. It failed, 40 to 60.
A plan from Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., to require a court order finding a person a danger to himself or herself or others before that person is banned from buying a gun. Failed 56-44.
The Large-Capacity Magazine Feeding Devices Amendment from Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J.. It bans devices holding more than 10 rounds but creates a special class of citizen – the off-duty police officer – for exemption. Failed 46-54.

Did the Senate gun control Bill go down in flames?
Nothing new under the sun. Foreclosure Review Report Shows That the OCC Continues to Bury Wall Street’s Bodies. All Hail Obombas hope and change.
In the wake of the foreclosure crisis and the myriad abuses perpetuated by mortgage servicers, the Office of the Comptroller for the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Reserve created the Independent Foreclosure Review. Fourteen servicers owned by banks like Bank of America, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase were ordered to investigate foreclosures between 2009 and 2010 and figure out if these foreclosures were fraudulent. In order to give the semblance of independence, the banks were told to hire third-party consultants to conduct the reviews.
By announcing this supposedly far-ranging “investigation” with much fanfare, the regulators wanted to create the impression that they were getting to the bottom of the practices perpetrated during the foreclosure crisis. However, when reading the fine print, the “Independent” Foreclosure Review merely replicated the worst patterns and practices that caused the financial crisis—with regulators again deferring to banks and allowing them to hire their own investigators.

Obama Signs Law Gutting Insider Trading Regulations For Congress
Yesterday President Obama signed a law that gutted the reporting requirements originally included in the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act. Before these changes were made the STOCK Act required congressional staffers to disclose their finances to the public to help ensure they were not engaging in corrupt practices.
But on second thought, President Obama and Congress decided that congressional staffers should be able to escape transparency.
President Obama quietly signed legislation Monday that rolled back a provision of the STOCK Act that required high-ranking federal employees to disclose their financial information online.
The White House announced Monday that the president had signed S. 716, which repealed a requirement of the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act requiring the disclosure, which had previously been delayed several times by Congress.
You never heard of this political project to reinstate corruption incentives? Don’t be surprised.
Both chambers of Congress quickly — and near silently — approved the repeal legislation at the end of last week by unanimous consent, just before heading home to their districts.
That’s right. Unanimous consent, no one wanted to put their name down as openly supporting corruption while supporting corruption. And now President Obama has signed the bill guaranteeing a more corrupt Washington.

Remember when the last time a cluster of Hindenburg Omens nearly toppled the market in August 2010 and the only saving grace was Ben Bernanke's QE2 announcement at Jackson Hole which sent risk soaring? Today, nearly three years later, we got the first instance of the Omen again. Will it be a one-off fluke, or a cluster, which is needed to confirm this dreaded technical formation? Stay tuned in the coming days to find out...
The last cluster was Aug 2010 (and was only saved by Bernanke), the previous cluster was Oct 2007 and we know what followed... (red bars are Hindenberg Omens)

Oh, boo boo...did that comment hurt your little feelers?
If it's any consolation..Whatever state you live in is great as well....
As soon as you leave it.
Foreign policy? He's totally disengaged. Aloof.
He'd rather be golfing or throwing a party.
Ending Iraq? The withdrawal date was signed under Bush. Obomba wanted to stay longer and was rejected by the Iraqi Govt. Talking smack wont change that fact.
Led us out of the recession? The FED is pumping 85 billion per month into the markets and Treasury to keep them afloat. The bailout of the 1% continues. A huge pump ponzi scheme with a crash imminent.
Libya was a criminal act that ended with the murder of a Head of State. Disgusting. Who is controlling the Oil and Aquifers in Libya now? Why arent we bombing Syria for the same reason? oh, that's right, they dont have oil and arent setting up the African Dinar in the face of the global banksters.
The Arab spring is a disaster and now were giving high powered weaponry to the Muslim Brotherhood..Who does Egypt plan on attacking? Who is planning on attacking them?
They wont let this, they wont let that...Who's they? The DEMS controlled the House and Senate for the first 2 years of his popularity contest victory. He coulda closed Gitmo..He coulda outlawed the Patriot Act, FISA, He coulda downgraded Homeland Security..All Bush creations..instead, he made them more powerful.
Drones? Outright slaughter of innocent people. Obomba is a murderer.
Texans live free, respect the Constitution and their neighbors.
A great State.
Done FOR and changed America?
Some examples would be nice..
Oh, yeah...FOR America? He's continued the Bush Doctrine.
Changed America? He turned 51% into a bunch of suckers.

OMG!!! The Nation of Islam and Obomba are buddies!! Didnt Farrakhan says Jews are the Synagogue of Satan and white folk are Devils...Oh my!!
Ex Farrakhan Aide Says Obama & Farrakhan Ties Run Deep
a former top deputy of Farrakhan says that Barack Obama’s ties to the black nationalist movement in Chicago run DEEP, and that for many years the two men have had “an open line between them” to discuss policy and strategy, either directly or through intermediaries. Dr. Vibert White Jr., who spent most of his adult life as a member and ultimately top officer of the Nation of Islam, said:
“Remember that for years, if you were a politician in Chicago, you had to have some type of relationship with Louis Farrakhan. You had to. If you didn’t, you would be ostracized out of black Chicago,”
Earlier this year, a pro-Clinton blog run by former CIA officer Larry Johnson unearthed a 2004 photograph showing Michelle Obama and Farrakahn’s wife, Mother Khadijah Farrakhan, at an event hosted by Jesse Jackson’s Citizenship Education Foundation.

Uh huh..And Larry Sinclair says Obomba went down on him...
Must be true!!
**Disclaimer**...Just because stories exist on the internet that Obomba is a Reptilian, Ron Paul is a member of StormFront, Aliens are frozen at Area 51 doesnt mean they are true...Even if dreamers and suckers want them to be...
So what...The Black Panthers and the Communist Party USA support Obomba.
Do you have a point?
The dumbing down of Amerika..Teachers Unions want to kill virtual learning.
In states where online education has made headway, often via laws that make room for charter schools, local and state teachers unions have filed lawsuits and pushed legislation to place strict caps on charter school enrollment, close virtual schools altogether, and—in a rather spectacular display of purposeful obtuseness about how the Internet works—to limit enrollment to students who live in the district in which the online school is based.

House to vote on CISPA next week despite being horribly flawed after secret committee markup
Despite the fact that the secret markup of the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) left most of the problems unsolved, the House is still slated to vote on the flawed legislation next week, potentially allowing the total destruction of what little online privacy remains.
Unfortunately this is precisely the same situation we were presented with almost a year ago when it was similarly dangerous. Of course CISPA still enjoys massive corporate support as it did last year, according to the International Business Times.
Today Michelle Richardson, Legislative Counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union’s Washington Legislative Office pointed out that while CISPA’s sponsors and corporate backers claim “that all privacy and civil liberties problems have been solved,” this is nowhere near the truth.
During the markup process, only three of the four major categories of problems with CISPA were addressed, according to the ACLU.
The fix for the potential of widespread sharing of information under CISPA offered by Rep. Jan Schakowsky failed.
The limiting of the personal information that can be shared under CISPA offered by Rep. Adam Schiff also failed.

The Entire Economy Is a Ponzi Scheme. The Global Financial System is Insolvent
Bill Gross, Nouriel Roubini, Laurence Kotlikoff, Steve Keen, Michel Chossudovsky, the Wall Street Journal and many others say that our entire economy is a Ponzi scheme.
Former Reagan budget director David Stockton just agreed:
So did a top Russian con artist and mathematician.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-06-06/is-global-finance-a-ponzi-scheme-ask-a-russian-expert.html
Even the New York Times’ business page asked, “Was [the] whole economy a Ponzi scheme?”
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/01/business/worldbusiness/01iht-col02.1.19024758.html?_r=0
In fact – as we’ve noted for 4 years (and here and here) – the banking system is entirely insolvent. And so are most countries. The whole notion of one country bailing out another country is a farce at this point. The whole system is insolvent.
As we noted last year:
Nobel economist Joe Stiglitz pointed out the Ponzi scheme nature of the whole bailout discussion:
Europe’s plan to lend money to Spain to heal some of its banks may not work because the government and the country’s lenders will in effect be propping each other up, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz said.
“The system … is the Spanish government bails out Spanish banks, and Spanish banks bail out the Spanish government,” Stiglitz said in an interview.
***
“It’s voodoo economics,” Stiglitz said in an interview on Friday, before the weekend deal to help Spain and its banks was sealed. “It is not going to work and it’s not working.”

LEAK SHOWS US HID THE TRUTH ABOUT DRONE STRIKES
New evidence has emerged that proves the US intentionally lied about the true nature of its controversial drone strike operations.
The leaked intelligence documents reveal that the US has been targeting individuals who pose no immediate threat, with half of the slaughtered people being labeled simply as ’unknown extremists’.
Jennifer Gibson, a lawyer working with the British human rights charity Reprieve, has also accused the US of hiding the truth:
“There is now mounting evidence that the Obama administration is
misleading the American public – and the world at large – about the drone
war it is waging in Pakistan,” she said.
“The reports show a significant number of the strikes have nothing to do with al-Qa’ida. Instead, they may have been a quid pro quo exchange between two countries’ spy agencies. The result is that the US often doesn’t know who it is killing.”

Trouble at Obomba's unconstitutional torture camp.
The confrontation occurred after the commander decided to move prisoners into single, solid-walled cells so that prison authorities could monitor them more closely during the hunger strike, the military said........
....Guards used a modified shotgun shell that fires small rubber pellets as well as type of bean-bag projectile, Julian said.
The clash occurred in Camp 6, which the military converted to a mostly communal section for well-behaved prisoners, giving them access to satellite television, language and other classes and round-the-clock recreation time to make Guantanamo conform to international standards for a prisoner-of-war camp......
..."This is exactly the opposite of what they should be doing," said Carlos Warner, a federal public defender in Ohio who represents several prisoners held at Guantanamo. "The military is escalating the conflict."...

A new federal study reveals that global warming is not to blame for last year’s extreme drought that crippled the central Great Plains.
The study conducted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Drought Task Force places the blame on natural variations in weather patterns that caused the “flash drought.”
The Plains saw very little rain last summer due to two key meteorological processes which NOAA states was a “sequence of unfortunate events.” First, the Plains states saw very little rain in May and June because low pressure systems that brought storms were shunted northward into Canada. Second, thunderstorms were infrequent in July and August and produced little precipitation.
