1. Boston Bombers
Gene B. Fisher ,   United States   (04.21.13)
I find it very interesting that the state department denies the family members were questioned about their ties to terrorist, their visits to the home land, and their activities (which Russia confirms are Terrorist in Nature). I find it interesting that the state department also claims they are US Citizens when in fact they are not and have just been given "Political Asylum". I find it interesting that I saw four bombs, four backpacks, and four family members were questioned by the FBI yet we are told they acted independently. I find it strange that each step of the way we have had to force the truth out of our own government and agencies. I find it concerning that Russia views them as Terrorists and other countries have requested they questioning while ours allows them to go freely among our populations...at the cost of 171 dead and injured............We need the truth.........we need accountability.
2. Terrorists
Get Real ,   UK   (04.21.13)
'We are not working against the US only Russia' Well at the moment anyway.
3. The U.S. media is dead
Tom W ,   USA   (04.21.13)
One ought to visit foreign sites to collect real info on just about anything of importance. There are only 3 major newspaper conglomerate in the U.S. - all in the fold of the leftist Obama gov.ment. Unlike in the EU where there are many opposing media outlet, in the U.S. there are only pro-Obama, leftist sources available. Even the hated-by-the-left Fox News is on 50-50% left-right middle ground. The U.S. media is obsessed with Kardashians, celebs and other trivial matters, but because of the imposed Pol.Corr. rules they are afraid to touch anything critically. As far as cultural/political issues are concerned the U.S. is below the level of the old Soviet Pravda
4. Motive=reason. BO & the investigators must ask B Ayres &
Harry Wright ,   UK   (04.21.13)
Bernadine Dohrn what was their motive for becoming terrorists although they were brought up in the US. Why did they become warped and ruthless home-grown terrorists? Was it because they became extremist, radical, far left thinkers? HOW did they get like that? Were they taught it at school, university, maybe the books they read??? Like material from Marx etc??? So then, it is political and ideological, right? Now substitute that with Islam which is also both political and ideological. It should not require a university degree to see a parallel! What was Al Qaida's motive for 9/11? What was the motive for those massive ME demonstrations where they screamed "Death to America" and burned US flags and effigies of Obama? Not much respect there right, and least of all, love. Now! Why had they not responded positively when Obama extended his hands to them in peace? Despite the US providing massive aid packages? Obama, with his muslim background, understands their thinking better than the average American. He UNDERSTANDS jihad so he should drop the damn hypocrisy. So what the hell is this fixation with "motive" that is obvious to everyone else??? Seems to me they are trying desperately to come up with a reason other than Islamic Jihad, no matter how far-fetched it is. After all, was it not Obama who begged people not to jump to conclusions? He has his people out there working hard on a "reason" that he can shove down peoples' throats. Let the investigators spend their time investigating HOW the Islamic terrorist attack was crafted and WHO else were involved and WHO else are out there waiting to strike. Everybody knows the reason/motive in the heart.

You raise some really good points. Sadly truth and accountablity in the U.S. went out the window long ago.
6. Tom at No. 3
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (04.21.13)
Yes and the U.S. public swallows everything without question. Not only newspapers but magazines are controlled. Nobody questions why Europeans have great cars that get great gas mileage and we don't. The Smart Car which I think gets around 70 mpg in Europe gets less than the Geo Metro we had here in the 90's and the Metro had seats for 4 and a trunk. Everytime we import a car that gets good gas mileage overseas we insist that when it comes here it has the least fuel effecient motor. The government says they want us to conserve fuel but really they only want the fuel tax money they extort from us. If the government really feels our pain at the pump like they say they do then they should reduce or eliminate the federal gas tax. That will never happen and the sheeple that seem to make up much of our public will continue to be oblivious. As long as people here have food and entertainment they will continue to be fat, dumb, and happy.

Israel false flag operation
8. #3 Tom. Leftist and liberal ideologies SELL in the US.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (04.21.13)
Money and political patronage are of utmost importance. There had been times when press meetings and other events had been held by the Obama administration and Fox was not even invited. Indeed, over the years, the left were able to exert a stranglehold on the US media and were extremely successful at monopolizing and shaping the views of the public. It is a vicious cycle that feeds itself. It is not only the US. Britain is as bad, if not worse - just check out the academia. Ever watched BBC? In my humble view, the US played catch-up with Europe.
9. The irony is, that the madmen chose
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (04.21.13)
Boston for their heinous crime,the most liberal city in the US,who believe in open borders,the city of Edward Kennedy,who opened the door of the US to 7 millon muslims,this is their thank you.
10. Tsarnaev brothers: their brotherly love
C   (04.21.13)
the younger brother ran over his elder brother with the suv that they had hijacked during their flight.
11. 9, jihadists hate all non-muslims
C   (04.21.13)
they do not care about gratitude. all they care about is jihad.
12. #6.-#8. For Easterners it's incomprehensible
Tom W ,   USA   (04.21.13)
Us, ex-E. European immigrants to the States we're baffled at the sheep mentality of the American people. Many of us remember the "samizdat" era, the valiant stand of the "intellectual dissidents",- Sharansky - the rebellion of Poles, Czechs and Hungarians against injustice and leftist oppression. Americans are so much intimidated and fearful of challenging the leftist PC rules that they practically invalidated the 1st. Am. privileges. Even more astonishing the death of the Western mind because it's happening voluntarily in sharp contrast to the old East where the Red Army and gulag violently tried to kill the free spirit. ---Unsuccessfully. As for Britain ...along withe Scandinavians she's taken over by the Islamist-Leftist antisemitic alliance, in accordance with the "Fabian Socialist" doctrine.
13. To: No. 7
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.21.13)
What's a "keek?" If you are trying to describe yourself, the word is "cuckoo." And, boy, are you ever that!
14. # 7 Your mind is so open....
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (04.21.13)
that you have bats in your bellfry.
15. ISLAM AND THE HUMAN RACE
SJOERD VAN DER VELDE ,   EARTH-LANDSURFACE   (04.21.13)
UNFORTUNATELY IT IS ALL ABOUT ISLAM. LET THERE BE A CORRECTIVE, DEMOCRATIC REFERENDUM, TO GO ON WITH ISLAM OR TO ABOLISH THAT, UNDER/AMOUNG MANKIND. SO THAT ISSUE COULD HAVE BEEN SOLVED IN A CORRECT AND PEACEFULL WAY.
16. #12 Tom. Perhaps it is complacency and...
Harry Wright ,   UK   (04.22.13)
a feeling that the good life will last forever. Historically, they have fought hard for their freedom, yes - but they have never had to endure a gulag era stretching into decades. Half of them or more have no concept of a gulag camp. They had their "rights" to fall back on. I remember being in a store in NY years ago, where a female customer was arguing rather loudly and ferociously about some perceived infringement of her "rights". You know like: "I know my rights, bla bla". I actually thought the argument would come to blows. I mention that because far too many (and I am thinking about my own relatives) cannot even recognize that those "rights" are gradually being eroded. That's the sheeple / passivity in them that now makes them easy pickings for the leftists. They have already been groomed by the media etc. Thus, the "Fabian Socialist" doctrine is now being applied in the US after a successful run in "W Europe" (if you will). History repeats itself. It is left to be seen how far the much touted "American spirit" will allow it to go. After all, if you have a socialist president (some say communist) in place, now is the right time to make the BIG PUSH, though, I am seeing some pushing back, but not nearly enough.
17. Can anyone provide answers for these questions?
Harry Wright ,   UK   (04.22.13)
Having no knowledge about explosives whatsoever, I am wondering: (1) If the older brother was wearing an explosive vest and he was riddled with bullets from head to toe as a doctor stated, wouldn't a bullet have caused the vest to explode, because I see that great caution is taken to neutralize suicide vests. How is it possible that someone wearing explosive material can be riddled with bullets and there is no explosion? (2) If that person survives the barrage of bullets and is run over by a SUV and dragged for some distance, will the vibration not trigger an explosion? I find it strange that an official statement was given that the cause of death was due to the younger brother driving over the older brother, with the vehicle dragging him some distance. However, an attending doctor said that his body was intact but it was riddled with bullets from head to toe. He further said that it will take some time to determine the actual cause of death. Hmmmm. Why would a police officer assume the role of a doctor? What attempt, if any, was made to stop the younger brother? I mean, nobody thought he would try to drive off or something? All eyes were fixed on bringing down the older brother alone. Is that how they are trained, to focus on one suspect alone? And now, we are hearing that the younger brother may never be able to talk to investigators. Interesting. Well his hands are in perfect condition so I guess he can write.
