Boston bombings staged??

http://buelahman.wordpress.com/2013/04/20/are-you-just-a-believer-or-do-you-think/

For those who have been following the news, particularly with respect to how a guy with the cowboy hat helped 'saved' another guy who had this legs blown off.. read this and you might start doubting the media

Pay close attention to the pictures.. you will see how it was all staged (current evidences point to this, or not?)

Goodness! That's an interesting twist. Thanks for sharing this... at the very least, it'll teach us to question the media rather than to just blindly believe.

And the purpose of staging this would be?

Defense spending!

Sounds like someone wants to be unplugged from the matrix...

Hang on a second... you mean you're not unplugged?

You need to play with the BVA... once you do, the pain will yank you from the matrix for good!

Thanks for sharing the link..interesting read. Similar to the conspiracy theories from 9/11...the media is definitely the most powerful tool for information/misinformation..looking forward to more of such reports popping up on the net..

Paiseh to be a pain but according to the site, I assume the media too is fooled by the actors. Unless we're saying global companies from the defence and media industry, in cahoots, orchestrated an event for material gain. Never mind the huge possibility of being caught (Boston Marathon - many media organisations there, mobile phone cameras, bloggers, etc) and the huge possibility of being exposed. Won't be surprised if N Korea claims credit.

Why am I so hung up about this? Consider this - real people were killed, hurt and have had their lives seriously altered. Meanwhile a keyboard warrior who once did First Aid (EMT indeed) examined a series of stills and concluded from a safe distance the event didn't happen. So a boy didn't really die?

Let's not forget a Singaporean woman died in the Mumbai terror plot. It really happened.

I don't doubt that at all. She was my friend.

its another one of those who thinks the lunar landing didn't happen.

Apologies Techno. And the man who had a pair of legs blown off is someone's friend/son/brother who perhaps deserves dignity and our sympathy. Perhaps I'm tired of reading about conspiracies. Perhaps I'm tired of this anti-establishment tone that exist on other forums. Perhaps I'm tired of the negativity. Anti-foreigner, anti-free MRT ride, anti-cooling measures, anti-car loan austerity drive...they all fuel hatred. I hate hate. I wish we could all gather and enjoy group spanking on Fridays.

But that's just me.

The point here is not to say that the bombings were staged (well, some may read it as such). Rather, I'd prefer to think of it that we shouldn't always blindly believe what we see/read/hear from the media. Don't immediately accept what you read as being the truth... give it some thought.

Totally agree with you that we shouldn't trust everything we read. But at some point we have to trust something. When we become suspicious of everything, what do we trust? Take media for example. Don't trust ST? Or TRE? TOC is better? Or NYT? Ok, maybe NYT too left. Washington Post? Too right? Ok Fox News? Too Murdoch. What do we trust?

Yes, I've given it a lot of thought. I trust my golf buddies that they don't knock the ball out of the rough with their feet. I have to trust something at some point. Otherwise, what do I trust?

I always read media stuffs with a pinch of salt.
Yes real people died and its sad

So did thousands who perished in September 11, which till now, the US Govt cannot refute some scientists who claim that burning jet fuel cannot bring down the twin towers like an implosion in a demolition.
Why practice evacuation drills the week before sept 11? Why lock down that place just weeks before sept 11 (planting explosives?)
after JFK got assassinated, the new president Lyndon Johnson promptly signed the approval for USA to go to war with vietnam. JFK was against sending US soldiers to Vietnam. But appears that a higher power thinks otherwise

You want the truth? We cannot handle the truth

I believe there are people in US who wants their citizen to be always in the state of fear and anymosity, be it towards foreign enemies or domestic. That country has been in or funding wars, small or big, cold or hot, since WW2. Such is the price of playing world cop and economic ruler. Their political ideals and economic interests match. They want to be world cop, they need to be world cop.

More recently though, they go out send drones or bombers to hit other countries, to kill terrorrists or alleged terrorists or fighters or whatever name can be put on combatants. there are bound to be collateral damage. There will be civilians killed, dads losing sons, daughters losing brothers, babies get killed too etc. These folks will become new combatants or influence somebody else who read the stories to join the fight. Same in us, some new rednecks are joining the us marines right now to get revenge to whoever the cia/pentagon says its to blame. Cycle of violence continues.

Let's not discuss whether the bombing was staged or not. Focus on the saving lives part. If these clips can spur everyone to put fear aside and always be ready to help others in need, real or staged, I think it's for a good intention.

Trust your instincts.

We are lucky we are in singapore regardless how ridiculous the govt policies are being meted out, no one has to lose their lives fighting for someone else's cause..

Thats something we can hold for and treasure and not to be taken for granted.. Its sad to see lives lost time and time again for all the wrong reasons..

Bro, how to believe a fictitious character conjured by a writer who needed escapism as a result of the War? My heart tells me the truth is often harder to swallow. Like how no matter how many drivers I buy (I have 5 now), I will never be able to hit 250m.

My point remains: how did we become so cynical?

its all down to politics

You guys should read this article. He's a normal guy and maybe just falsely accused ? I don't know but I am merely just reading.. (: http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/this-might-be-djohar-tsarnaevs-actual-twitter-account?s=mobile
