It Was Staged: Aunt Is Suspicious The Boston Bombing Was Staged!

They had her plastered all over the news here all day. Getting her 15 minutes I guess. One thing my co-worker pointed out was she didn't seem very upset given a family member had just died. Innocent until proven guilty, and all. Though I'm willing to bet the family knew something was up.

As for the conspiracy folks, the government has never been very good at keeping secrets. Not even if it means saving their careers. Conspiracies make for great campfire stories but have little grounding in reality.
 
The funny thing about conspiracies is that they can only be uncovered by some of the stupidest fucking people to ever walk the earth.

Or maybe it isn't actually a conspiracy. Yeah, I'm going with that.
 
You know, considering what the Russians have done to the Chechens over the years her accusation or belief may be perfectly reasonable from her point of view.
 
Islamic people will ALWAYS try to blame Israel or the US for anything one of theirs does. Always. They never, ever blame themselves.

You know, that's not fair. Israel and the US *do* do all kinds of crap to them. Just so happens that the largely uneducated, sheltered people imagine it's even more.

What crazy ideas - they probably imagine the KGB and Putin go around assassinating dissidents with radioactive poisons. Oh wait.

Or that Arafat was assassinated the same way - except you know, it's plausible.

Or that the CIA has allowed crack cocaine imports to raise money for a terrorist army Congress explicitly banned the government from spending one cent on - and while we're at it, let's toss in selling missiles through Israel to Iran in the years right after the hostage crisis. Oh, wait.

Yes, this is 'nuts' about the Boston bombing, but give people who are more isolated a break.

Just tonight there was a good documentary on HBO about the effects of radiation from US depleted urananium arms in Iraq causing all kinds of birth defects. But I'm sure you know all the details about that, being an expert on everything the governemnt and CIA do, right? It takes a lot of information to determine the real and the paranoid.

Those Pakistanis were sure paranoid to be suspicious of vaccine workers being a CIA plot, weren't they?

It wasn't that long ago rignt-wing groups were fighting fluoride in water as a mind control plot to make Americans communist. So cut an uninformed woman some slack.

We know it's absurd. Let's leave it alone.

I think her story would be slightly plausible all the way up to the point where they had more homemade bombs.

That word "could" causes so many problems. At the time that was a reasonable guess. Maybe I'm crazy, but I just assume that most people thought it was "right-wing extremists" or "Islamic militants". I did anyway.
 
Everyone knows the CIA doesn't operate domestically. So it was obviously staged by the FBI with help from the Illuminati.
 
Before we knew who was behind the bombings, what's your proof it couldn't be right-wing extremists?

The same proof that it couldn't be left-wing extremists. To make any sort of "educated" guess, before the facts are known, only shows that that person is biased ahead of the facts. Really doesn't make for good reporting, ya know?? 🙄

We still don't know the bombers' politics. They could very well be right-wing extremists. Or leftists. Or Arbor Day fanatics. Ethnicity and religion are not determinants of political views.

Ain't that the fucking truth. It blows my mind how fucking oblivious to reality these fucking morons are.
