Global Research will be publishing a series of articles and reports with a view to promoting “Boston Truth”. The underlying objective is to confront and challenge the official version of events concerning the Boston bombings as well as the twisted and convoluted interpretations of the mainstream media.
We invite our readers to endorse “Boston Truth” and spread the word on social media, independent media and blog sites.
Nine thousand heavily armed police including SWAT teams were deployed in a manhunt to capture a 19 year old student at U-Mass, after his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the alleged Boston Marathon terror mastermind was shot dead by police allegedly after a car chase and shoot out with police.
We are facing the prospect of an even more horrendous war in Syria and the region. Pressure is mounting on Obama to openly supply the rebel militias with more lethal weapons, and/or to impose a no-fly zone. The White House is “doubting” yesterday's U.N. investigation finding that points to the Syrian rebels using of sarin gas, (and not the regime).
This Thursday, Tzipi Livni, the “Free Syrian Army” and Chuck Hagel will confer here at the Ritz-Carlton. What are they planning? As an activist for Peace and Non-violence, are you comfortable with their secret negotiations?
*******************************
Why would the AIPAC funded and staffed, WINEP, at their upcoming 2013 Soref Symposium, scheduled for May 9, host members of the Free Syrian Army…?

It may be idiocy but it is also fascism — zero tolerance means the state defines all speech as subject to state definition — both a tautalogical redundancy and a clear and present overturning of the Constitutional right to free speech.
Authorities are leaning more toward zero tolerance of teenagers who fling around online threats about acts of violence or terrorism. As a result, what might have once merited a slap on the wrist may today result in criminal charges.
The case of teenager Cameron Dambrosio might serve as an object lesson to young people everywhere about minding what you say online unless you are prepared to be arrested for terrorism.
The Methuen, Mass., high school student was arrested last week after posting online videos that show him rapping an original song that police say contained “disturbing verbiage” and reportedly mentioned the White House and the Boston Marathon bombing. He is charged with communicating terrorist threats, a state felony, and faces a potential 20 years in prison. Bail is set at $1 million.
Whether the arrest proves to be a victory in America‘s fight against domestic terrorism or whether Cameron made an unfortunate artistic choice in the aftermath of the Boston bombing will become clear as the wheels of justice advance. What is apparent now, however, is that law enforcement agencies are tightening their focus on the social media behavior of US teenagers – not just because young people often fit the profile of those who are vulnerable to radicalization, but also because the public appears to be more accepting of monitoring and surveillance aimed at preventing attacks, even at the risk of government overreach.
This is what prison privatization is leading to. This is not the first case like this of of Judicial corruption. Yet it is full steam ahead for corporate prisons. How can anyone think that corporate prisons was a good idea?
Disgraced Pennsylvania judge Mark Ciavarella Jr has been sentenced to 28 years in prison for conspiring with private prisons to sentence juvenile offenders to maximum sentences for bribes and kickbacks which totaled millions of dollars. He was also ordered to pay $1.2 million in restitution.
The necocons' terror-war prison and court system, as should have been obvious from the beginning, is evil. It violates every tenet of the Constitution, and has become a machine that makes enemies. Its outrages recruit and create terrorists.
Extraordinary — virtually a monologue drawing on deep FBI knowledge of CIA false flag operations in Caucasus and Central Asia, ties in Turkish role for decades as CIA and NATO silent partner in false flag terrorism across Caucasus and Central Asia, with Graham Fuller, CIA's man man “a despicable person” and the family of the alleged Boston bombers who were trained by the Jamestown Foundation and CIA. Specifically says that US has been providing chemical weapons to the rebels against the Syrian government. Concludes with prediction on Iran.
Phi Beta Iota: We have no direct knowledge, but based on listening to Sibel Edmonds for the full 48:10 minutes, we consider her 100% credible and extremely authentic, authoritative, informed, and articulate. Provides a useful historical overview of how British used religious fanatics and false flags to divide & conquer. Overall, a virtuoso performance. When combined with the emerging disclosures on extraterrestrial technologies and knowledge, our overall impression is that the US government has failed the public — secrecy has enabled unnecessary wars over unnecessary resources at the same time that we actually have direct access — have had for decades — advanced technologies that make fossil fuels and rare metals “moot.” What kind of country screws the many on behalf of the few? What kind of country avoids ethical evidence-based decision-making at all costs?
Counterintelligence Note: She says all major US government personnel posted to Turkey in 1990 are core group behind what is left of NATO Gladio, and continue to operate with CIA funding.
This appears spot-on. I've had some one-on-one experience with OSD CAPE and they appear to be true non-patriots whose sole function is to cut dollars. They don't seem to have a clue as to what the business of defending America is all about. They particularly oppose the concept of redundancy. In our huge bay, we have a cartoon posted about egg-head researchers at a blackboard whose task is to provide a scientific justification for a pre-determined solution: transfer dollars from the Army to the Air Force and Navy. That pretty well summarizes OSD CAPE and where things are heading these days. Big picture:
1. Pivot to Pacific is impacted by sequestration.
2. Congress thinks sequestration is effective tool to cut government spending and may well extend it.
3. Army is sucking wind for money, cyber geeks are a growth industry.
4. Navy and Air Force want to leave Army as only Service furloughing people.
CAPE is a number-cruncher. CAPE doesn't do strategy. Hagel can count on CAPE to put a happy face on sequester-size defense budgets.
Even more worrisome was Hagel's announcement that CAPE's assessment would provide the foundation for the Quadrennial Defense Review. The QDR is supposed to be a long-term assessment of missions, capabilities, threats and resource requirements — not a rubber stamp for budget cutting.
Note that in addition to propping up Quisling centers at expense of the tribal periphery, we will be fanning the fires of the sectarian warfare and killing gobs of innocents with more signature strikes (note dependency on “technical collection”).
Media reports of CIA preparations to use drones to target al-Qaeda-linked rebels in Syria, should the post-Assad situation warrant such an intervention, are only party correct. The plan to use drones under certain circumstances is in reality part of the much larger CIA program in Iraq that parallels the program being set up in Afghanistan. CIA initiatives in both countries are related to what is being mandated by the National Security Council as a policy of “regime survival” to help keep in place governments that are at least nominally friendly to Washington and that will be dependent on American technology and intelligence resources for the foreseeable future to maintain their own security. The CIA will bear the brunt of the two operations, as it can do so without a highly visible military footprint. In Iraq it includes, among other elements, the continued training of something akin to an elite counter-terrorism Praetorian Guard to protect senior officials while also advancing efforts against a growing Salafist presence in the country, linked to resurgent Sunni terrorism that is attempting to weaken the government of Nouri al-Maliki. The Obama administration is hoping to develop a level of cooperation with the Iraqi government that will enable the identification of extremist elements, some of which are taking the opportunity to transit into Syria. They are a threat to what are perceived to be the long-term interests of America and Iraq’s Shia government. Those who are identified as al-Qaeda-linked militants could become drone targets in Syria, if the situation in that country deteriorates.
