There seems to be a thread of "fakery" claims that run from 9/11 (the 'blue screen planes' theory) through Sandy Hook (another 'staged event') and Boston which, when looked at from a broad perspective, seems to have been deliberately invented and disseminated in order to discredit the serious evidence for government complicity in these specific 'terror' attacks.

The problem here is that, as concerns the Boston bombings, there is hard evidence that:
  • There was a drill on the day of the marathon
  • There were spotters on roofs and dog sniffing teams
  • There were announcements made about the drills
  • There were two tweets from the Boston Globe on their marathon update page that "authorities have announced that a controlled explosion will take opposite the library in 1 minute" (this was two hours before a bomb went off at that exact location)
  • The FBI have admitted that they had been in contact with the two brothers for about 5 years
  • The NY Times ran an article stating that virtually all previous "terror plots" that were "foiled" by the FBI were actually created by the FBI.
The only evidence that the two Tsanarev brothers were involved in the bombing is the alleged testimony of Bauman and, more importantly, the allegation that they killed a policeman a few days later at MIT. All that is really known is that the policeman, officer Sean Collier, was approached by an unknown person(s) as he sat in his car and shot multiple times. The only evidence linking the Tsarnaev brothers to this killing is the claim made by the unnamed man who was allegedly taken hostage by the brothers after they allegedly killed officer Collier. The story goes that after he was taken hostage in his own car by the brothers, the older brother asked him if he had heard about the Boston bombing. The unnamed hostage replied that he had, and the older Tsarnaev brother then allegedly said;
"I did that, and I just killed a policeman in Cambridge."
So basically, the only real evidence linking the brothers to the bombing is the claim by an unnamed alleged hostage that the brothers made their bizarre confession to him that they had killed Collier and were responsible for the bombing.

Coincidentally, the traffic cop who was the first on the scene of Colliers murder (officer Richard Donohue) was a close friend of Collier. Even more coincidentally, officer Donohue was involved later that evening in the alleged shoot out with the brothers in the Watertown area of Boston, where he was, coincidentally, the only officer to be shot by "friendly fire". And to round off the coincidence-fest:
"Officer Donohue of the MBTA Transit Police remembers almost nothing of the night he was shot during chaotic gunfire on a normally quiet Watertown street, or of the murder of his close friend, MIT police Officer Sean Collier, hours before in Cambridge."
What are the odds, eh?

Do you know who J. D. Tippit is? J. D. Tippit was the Dallas policeman who was allegedly shot by Lee Harvey Oswald. The shooting of Tippit was instrumental in framing Oswald, at least in the public mind, for the murder of Kennedy.

Jim Garrison stated that, "If Oswald was innocent of the Tippit murder, the foundation of the government's case against him collapsed."

And indeed, it appears that the Warren Commission ignored a lot of evidence in the form of conflicting eyewitness testimony that strongly suggests Oswald did NOT kill Tippit.

That's just some of the hard evidence that could be used to make a case for the Boston bombings being a govt. operation. But when you add in the idea that the bombings were actually 'staged' by 'actors', and proceed to back it up with very subjective 'evidence', virtually all of which can be exposed as bogus, thereby making those who claim it as 'evidence' look like fools and/or liars, well....you've destroyed any usefulness of the hard evidence by associating it with the bogus evidence. For me, therefore, the 'actors' and 'fakery' meme is more than likely a deliberate attempt to do exactly that.

Of course, there is the other all-important element, without which government/intel attempts to spread disinformation would be useless i.e. the many, many individuals who have bought the story and disseminated the disinfo. I don't for a second believe that owners of respectable websites like Globalresearch.ca or bloggers like Dave McGowan (and many others) are consciously playing a part in the disinfo campaign, but the reality is that they have been aiding and abetting what is most likely a COINTELPRO operation by giving the 'actors' theory legs (so to speak). I won't pretend to know why such previously sober and serious journalists and authors have uncharacteristically been taken in by a con-job (and a rather obvious one at that), except to hypothesize that, as the world continues to spiral down into ever-increasing lies, social hysteria and madness, we may expect to see more and more people begin to 'lose the plot' in more ways than one.
