Police State

Crowdsourcing failed in the Boston bombing case, but the huge number of private videos exposed lots of stuff the FBI preferred to remain hidden.

The Boston bombing injury toll jumps to 260 as people showed up days later with symptoms.

DHS was aware of Boston suspect 1's trip to Chechnya in 2012 contrary to what the FBI recently claimed. The FBI's story continues to unravel.

Report claims the FBI was controlling the older brother as an asset.

Boston suspect 2 claims he and brother acted alone.

The most frightening thing about the Boston lockdown is that Americans welcomed it.

"Watching it unfold, I couldn’t help but think of Nazi Field Marshal Hermann Goering’s remarks during the Nuremberg trials. As Goering noted:

It is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.

As the events in Boston have made clear, it does indeed work the same in every country. The same propaganda and police state tactics that worked for Adolf Hitler 80 years ago continue to be employed with great success in a post-9/11 America."

Scary. Police state apologists justify their "cooperation".

"Yes, this. Just shared it on my Facebook timeline. This is what civilization looks like.
Indeed, this photo of a police officer threatening to shoot someone for looking out the window does seem to signify what our "civilization" has become. I guess Bostonians are proud of that, too:"

Twisted.

Four circumstances in which police are empowered to search a house without a warrant include:

"4. Exigent Circumstances. This exception refers to emergency situations where the process of getting a valid search warrant could compromise public safety or could lead to a loss of evidence. This encompasses instances of "hot pursuit" in which a suspect is about to escape. A recent California Supreme Court decision ruled that police may enter a DUI suspect's home without a warrant on the basis of the theory that important evidence, namely the suspect's blood alcohol level, may be lost otherwise. "

This is probably the exception they used to justify the house to house search in Watertown, but it doesn't work. Police could have watched each house while officers obtained warrants. The problem was no judge would have issued those warrants.

Analysis of the futility and terrible consequences of the Boston lockdown.

"The government and police were willing to shut down parts of the economy like the universities, software, biotech, and manufacturing…but when asked to do an actual risk to reward calculation where a small part of the costs landed on their own shoulders, they had no problem weighing one versus the other and then telling the donut servers "yeah, come to work – no one's going to get shot.""

You can't make this stuff up.

Here's one of the untold numbers of government failure events that happen daily that we almost never hear about.

"An Amish couple has sued a county children's services agency in northeast Ohio, claiming workers there are responsible for their adopted child being raped by its biological parents during a partially unsupervised visit.
The federal lawsuit was filed this month on behalf of a couple who live in West Farmington, north of Youngstown. They were referred to in the lawsuit only as Jane Doe and John Doe. The action seeks $3 million in damages.
The suit claims Trumbull County Children Services and three of its employees are responsible for the decision to allow the infant girl partially unsupervised visits with her biological parents starting in January 2011.
At that time, the agency decided that workers could check in on the visits about every 15 minutes — even though the baby's biological father, Cody Beemer, had previously been convicted of raping a 3-year-old cousin. The rape was discovered later on a cellphone video made by Beemer and his wife, Felicia.
Before December 2010, the parents were allowed visitation only while constantly supervised, the lawsuit said.
The child was 9 months old when the cellphone video of the abuse was made in April 2011."

There are so many things wrong with this story.

Cops release risin suspect because of lack of evidence.
