Boston Fire Chief Forced Out For Failing To Participate In Boston Marathon Bombing Charade

Boston's Fire Chief Steve Abraira resigned yesterday after facing weeks of criticism for not taking a more active role on the day of the Boston Marathon bombings. Abraira was the first fire chief hired in Boston who did not come from within the ranks of the firefighters union. Following the Boston Marathon bombings, an e-mail was leaked to the media that was sent by deputy fire chiefs criticizing his supposed inaction on the day of the Boston Marathon bombings. "His justification for failing to take action is indefensible," they wrote. In a resignation letter, Abraira said he was leaving because "the baseless attacks" made against him "made it impossible for [him] to continue to do [his] job." Abraira said he didn't inject himself into the response to the bombings because the response of those below him within the department seemed to be working and that he didn't want to insert himself "into a situation that is already being controlled."

Actually, if you watch the videos and photos taken at the scene of the bombings, you would be hard pressed to find anyone from the fire department responding to the immediate aftermath beyond standing at the perimeter using their fire trucks to block access to the scene by others while the crisis actors were being filmed. Instead, we were treated to "heroes" like "cowboy hat guy" who rushed to the scene and assisted supposed double amputee bombing victim Jeff Bauman rather than a fire department EMT who would normally perform that job, just one of many anomalies the mainstream media has chosen to ignore. Perhaps Abraira didn't see a need to be more involved in an event that he knew was entirely staged. Abraira should take a cue from Indianapolis' disgruntled top IMPD officers who were demoted in the aftermath of the David Bisard fiasco and sue the city for defamation. Maybe he can score a big payoff like our demoted IMPD officers got for the humiliation and harm to their reputations they supposedly suffered for their inaction.

Something worth a gander is this report on how Obama's FEMA Director, Richard Serino, is the former head of emergency services for Boston who coincidentally authored a detailed and fully operational plan for carrying out a mass casualty event at the Boston Marathon in 2008, titled "Marathons-A Tale of Two Cities and the Running of a Planned Mass Casualty Event." You just can't make this stuff up.

UPDATE: It looks like Abraira's attorney is already thinking about a defamation lawsuit. The Boston Globe has a story discussing a "cease-and-desist" letter his attorney sent to those attacking him:

[Mayor] Menino defended Abraira’s performance following the bombings and publicly questioned the motivation behind the deputy chiefs’ criticism.

Metrofire, an association of 34 departments in metropolitan Boston, came to Abraira’s defense.  

In a letter, Metrofire chairman John F. Nash wrote that Abraira’s integrity was ­beyond reproach and that the Marathon bombings were ­being exploited to resist modernization and reform in the Boston Fire Department.  

Abraira’s lawyer also sent a cease-and-desist letter to the deputy chiefs at their homes warning that they must refrain from making “defamatory and unlawful statements.” The letter said the “out­rageous attack [was] intended to strengthen [the deputy chiefs’] ability to reject and ­obstruct Chief Abraira’s efforts to bring the BFD in line with modern firefighting practices.”  

The deputy chiefs responded with their own lawyer, ­Donnellan, who said that Abraira was trying to stop the deputy chiefs from testifying at a City Council hearing scheduled for June 18.

Bombing Victims Or Crisis Actors?

I don't know who this Australian guy is, but he's taken upon himself to analyze the video and photo images taken at the scene of the Boston Marathon bombings. He's made up his mind that the entire event was staged using crisis actors. Take a look and judge for yourself. Things do seem a bit too contrived, even if his sense of humor might be over the top for some. Click here to see his collection of videos.

FBI Lied: Boston Bomber's Friend Unarmed When Agent Shot And Killed Him

It is now abundantly clear that rogue federal agents are engaged in a massive cover up of their false flag attack at the Boston Marathon last month when two Chechen immigrants were framed for an event planned and staged by rogue agents within our own government as a further excuse for perpetuating the endless war on terror that has bankrupted the country and stripped Americans of basic civil liberties. It now turns out that the friend of the dead Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was not armed as originally claimed by federal law enforcements when an FBI agent fatally shot him.

Law enforcement officials originally claimed that Ibragim Todashev was being interrogated by the FBI agent in the presence of several other law enforcement officials in his Orlando apartment and was starting to write out a confession to his alleged role in an unsolved triple homicide in Boston that law enforcement officials are now trying to claim he carried out with Tamerlan Tsarnaev on September 11, 2011. According to the initial reports, Todashev allegedly lunged at the agent with a knife as he was writing out his confession following hours of questioning. Law enforcement officials now admit there was no knife. The story now being told to the media by law enforcement sources is that Todashev became angry and overturned a table. The agent, feeling threatened, responded by firing seven shots at him from his handgun, including one bullet to the back of his head. From the Washington Post:

An air of mystery has surrounded the FBI shooting of Ibragim Todashev, 27, since it occurred in Todashev’s apartment early on the morning of May 22. The FBI said in a news release that day that Todashev, a former Boston resident who knew bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed during an interview with several law enforcement officers.

The FBI has provided few other details, saying that the matter is being investigated by an FBI review team that may not finish its probe for several months.

“The FBI takes very seriously any shooting incidents involving our agents and as such we have an effective, time-tested process for addressing them internally,” FBI spokesman Paul Bresson said in a statement Wednesday. “The review process is thorough and objective and conducted as expeditiously as possible under the circumstances.” . . .

At the time of the shooting, Todashev was being interviewed about his possible connection to a triple murder in Waltham, Mass., on Sept. 11, 2011. Law enforcement officials said he had acknowledged involvement in the murders and had implicated Tsarnaev. Officials said Todashev was not suspected of involvement in the April 15 Boston bombing . . .

Initial reports citing anonymous law-enforcement individuals provided conflicting accounts of what happened. Some law enforcement officials said Todashev wielded a knife and others suggested that he attempted to grab the FBI agent’s gun.

One law enforcement official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation, said Wednesday that Todashev lunged at the agent and overturned a table. But the official said Todashev did not have a gun or a knife. A second official also said Todashev was unarmed.

An official said that according to one account of the shooting, the other law enforcement officials had just stepped out of the room, leaving the FBI agent alone with Todashev, when the confrontation occurred.

The shooting followed hours of questioning by the law enforcement officials that had begun the night before.

Todashev’s father said after the shooting that he didn’t believe the FBI’s account of why they killed his son.

“My son could never commit a crime, I know my son too well,” Abdul-Baki Todashev, who lives in Chechnya, told the Daily Beast Web site. “He worked helping disabled people in America and did sports, coached other sportsmen. The FBI made up their accusations.”

Separately, the Orlando-Sentinel is reporting that Todashev's widow, Reniya Manukyan, told reporters that FBI agents had been badgering her husband and her since the Boston bombings last month about their relationship to Tamerlan. Todashev met Tamerlan when he lived in Boston several years earlier through the tight knit Chechen community and both shared an interest in martial arts. Manukyan insists her husband would have never confessed to the 2011 triple homicide in Boston because of records she says that prove he was in Atlanta with her at that time. Todashev had undergone surgery on his knee to repair damage to a tendon a few days before the Boston bombings and was still recovering from that surgery when he was shot and killed by the FBI agent on May 22. At a press conference today, an attorney for Todashev's widow offered photo evidence of the extent of the injuries sustained by Todashev, which were taken of his body at a local funeral home following the shooting death. A family friend who took the photos claimed they showed at least a dozen wounds, although some may have been exit wounds from the multiple gunshots. A civil rights group is calling for a Justice Department investigation into the shooting.

Recall the shootout in Watertown with the two Boston suspects. Law enforcement reports of the events of that 24-hour period have been riddled with contradictory statements. Eyewitness accounts and video footage showed Tamerlan being taken into police custody alive the night of the shootout during which one police officer was shot. Yet police later claimed he was shot by police and then run over and killed by his brother while fleeing the scene in a stolen Mercedes SUV. Initial accounts claimed both brothers were firing at police and throwing bombs at them, but witnesses claimed they only heard gunshots and only one gun was recovered near Tamerlan's body. Later, we learned that the police officer who was shot had been hit by friendly fire, not by a gun fired by either of the suspects. The Tsarnaev brothers can be clearly heard on audio of an amateur video taken during the shootout yelling "we didn't do it" and "we give up."

After a massive manhunt for the next 24 hours during which the entire Boston area was placed under martial law and homes within a several block area were stormed and searched by heavily armed law enforcement officials without warrants failed to turn up the missing younger brother, Dzhokhar, police lifted the martial law order and a homeowner quickly discovered Dzhokhar hiding in a boat in his backyard. A massive team of police converged on the scene. Police claimed the suspect had fired upon them, causing them to fire dozens of shots into the boat and using flash bangs to coax a severely injured Dzhokhar from the boat. Later we learned that the suspect was unarmed, leading to questions about why so many shots were fired into the boat at him if he never fired a shot at police as earlier claimed.

Alternative news sources revealed after the suspects were identified by federal law enforcement officials their family's ties to the CIA despite initial claims by federal law enforcement agents that they knew nothing about the suspects prior to the bombings. The Tsarnaev's uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, turns out to be a former son-in-law of a former high-ranking CIA official, Graham Fuller, who is credited with writing the original action plan for Iran-Contra. Tsarni actually lived in Fuller's home in Rockville, Maryland for more than a year and had been instrumental in setting up an NGO to help fund radical Islamist rebels in Chechnya. Tsarni had also been employed by USAID, a CIA cut out agency, as well as working for a string of energy companies tied to Haliburton. It also turns out that Russian authorities had warned both the FBI and the CIA of its concerns of Tamerlan's activities long before the Boston bombings occurred. The Tsarnaev brothers' parents and aunt insist they were framed by the U.S. government. After their mother called out the FBI for its role in handling her sons over a several year period, the agency admitted it had interviewed the older brother on several occasions prior to the bombings but determined he posed no threat and closed the file on him. Supporters who believe in the Tsarnaev brothers' innocence have made this video as a tribute to them. Here's a couple more videos you weren't suppose to see. The first one shows when police first took Tamerlan into custody. A neighbor tells the police he doesn't recognize him so he presumably doesn't live in the neighborhood. Police begin searching the area for bombs. Near the end of the video, you will hear Tamerlan yell out his younger brother's name. The second video has extended footage taken by the same area resident with commentary added. You will see when police first approach Tamerlan and when they walk away with him while he is still fully clothed.

Laughable: Former CIA Director Says Boston Bombings Couldn't Happen In New York Because NYPD Does Better Job Spying On Muslims

The incredulous statements coming from current and former officials of our government concerning terrorism keeps reaching new lows. Former CIA Director Michael Hayden claims the Boston Marathon bombings could never have happened in New York because the police do a much better job there of spying on Muslims. From the Daily Mail:

Former CIA chief Michael Hayden says a terror attack similar to the Boston Marathon bombing could not have been executed in New York City because of the NYPD's extensive spying on Muslim communities. 

'If these two mopes were living in New York this attack would not have happened,' Hayden said of the two Boston bombing suspects, reports The Hill newspaper's Jordy Yager. 

'The New York Police Department is far more aggressive, far more invasive, going what’s been termed ‘mosque crawling’ and a whole bunch of other things to permeate the Islamic-American community. Boston doesn’t do that,' he said.

What Hayden fails to reveal is that the only planned terror attacks in New York that were foiled before they could be carried out that weren't initiated by the FBI's counter terrorism unit was due to the actions of private citizens, not NYPD. Hayden conveniently omits the CIA's role in handling the Tsarnaev brothers, whose family was only in the United States thanks to the actions of his former colleague, Graham Fuller, father-in-law and former housemate of Ruslan Tsarni, uncle of the Tsarnaev brothers. Not even a warning from the Russians to both the CIA or the FBI warranted any action against the Tsarnaev brothers. Gee, I wonder why?

Speaking of government officials behaving badly, what's up with the two U.S. embassy employees getting shot at a strip club in Venezuela?

Two officials from the U.S. Embassy suffered gunshot wounds early Tuesday in an altercation at a strip club in Venezuela’s crime-ridden capital, police and U.S. State Department officials said. Their injuries were not considered life-threatening.

The circumstances of the shooting were unclear, with conflicting reports over whether it happened inside or outside the Antonella 2012 nightclub.

Friend Of Boston Bombing Suspect Shot And Killed By FBI Agent

Dead men can't talk. A friend of Tamerlan Tsarnov said he had nothing to do with the bombing, and he wanted to return to Chechnya after the FBI started questioning him. Now he's dead at the hands of an FBI agent. That's the news we're hearing out of Orlando, Florida this morning from local Fox affiliate, WOFL:

A man who was shot dead by an FBI agent late Tuesday night in Orlando knew one of the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings, a man identified as friend of the victim said Wednesday.

The agent encountered the man while conducting official duties, agent Dave Couvertier said in a statement.

A man at the scene on Peregrine Avenue near Kirkman and Vineland roads who identified himself as a friend of the victim said the man knew Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older brother suspected in the April 15 bombings that killed three and injured more than 260.

Khusen Taramov said he and his friend had no connection with the Boston bombings, but the FBI had been questioning them since then.

"He used to talk on the phone with him [Tsarnaev]," Taramov said of his friend. "They talked last time a month ago. After the bombing, I couldn't believe it," he said.

"The FBI kept asking, 'What's the connection?' But there is no connection... no connection."

Taramov said the victim had planned to return to Chechnya but had canceled his tickets.

"Me and him and my friends, we knew this was going to happen. That's why he wanted to leave the country," Taramov said. "But he canceled the tickets. The FBI's been pushing him, 'Don't leave, don't leave.' So he decided to stay," he said.

Taramov said the FBI had questioned him earlier Tuesday, but he was allowed to leave. When he returned, he said he found out his friend had been shot dead, he said.

"The FBI knows what happened," Taramov said.

There's a lot more to this story, folks. If you aren't in fear of what's happening in our government at the federal level, you should be.

UPDATE: The dead Russian friend of Tsarnaev has been identified as 27-year old Ibragim Todashev. A manufactured story of the circumstances of his death will be a work in progress in the coming hours and days. He had no gun, but we're now being told he suddenly became violent during a cooperative interview with the FBI agent and lunged at him with a knife. What, the police don't pat a suspect down first before interrogating him? The state-run media is now reporting that Todashev confessed to a role in a previously unsolved triple homicide allegedly involving the Tsarnaev brothers before he was shot and killed by the interrogating FBI agent. In other words, he wasn't giving the interrogator the answers he wanted to hear. NBC Pete Williams offers the latest government propaganda:

A man with ties to the Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was shot and killed after attacking an FBI agent during questioning in Florida, law enforcement officials said on Wednesday.


The man who was shot, Ibragim Todashev, 27, allegedly attacked an agent with a knife. He was not suspected of having played any role in the bombing that killed three people and injured scores more in April, but he did confess to being involved in a brutal Boston-area slaying two years ago, investigators said.

Law enforcement officials said Todashev was being questioned as part of the FBI’s effort to find and talk to anyone who had any contact with Tsarnaev, the older bombing suspect killed in a shootout with police. 

“The agent, two Massachusetts State Police troopers, and other law enforcement personnel were interviewing an individual in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing investigation when a violent confrontation was initiated by the individual,” the statement said.

“During the confrontation, the individual was killed and the agent sustained non-life threatening injuries,” according to the statement.

Todashev, they say, had spent some time in the Boston area, where he was a mixed martial arts fighter, and knew Tsarnaev there. Investigators say he confessed to the agent in Florida that he played a role in a triple murder in 2011 in which three men were discovered slain in an apartment in Waltham, Mass.

Their throats had been cut, and their bodies were covered with marijuana. No suspects had been arrested in that case.

Officials say FBI agents were questioning Todashev on Tuesday. He was cooperative at first, they say, but later that night, he attacked the agent with a knife, who shot and killed him. Officials say Todashev became violent as he was about to sign a written statement based on his confession.

The officials say Todashev had some connections with radical Chechen rebels, but they say it's not clear whether he had any role in radicalizing Tsarnaev.

UPDATE (5/23/13): Check out this story discussing the fact that Todashev had tendon repair surgery only days before the bombing. I know someone who had that surgery recently. He was hobbling around for several months.

Ibragim “couldn’t take part” in the Boston Marathon bombings as he was undergoing a surgical operation on his tendons in Florida days before the bombings and “had to learn how to walk again,” the father said.

I'm betting there is no autopsy report that will note that little fact. He must have posed a real threat to the FBI agent while hobbling around and wielding a knife.

Investigative Reporter Proves Backpacks Worn By Boston Bombing Suspects Could Not Have Contained Pressure Cooker Bombs

The government's attempt to pin the blame for the Boston Marathon bombings on Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev suffered a major setback after WhoWhatWhy's Dave Lindorff took a much closer look at the images the FBI released purporting to be the two suspects near the site of the bombings taken from video surveillance cameras at a Lord & Taylor store carrying large backpacks. A recreation of a make-shift bomb using a pressure cooker of the same make and model found that the contents would have weighed approximately 30 pounds. The results were very instructive and pose some "odd wrinkles" for the government's case against the Tsarnaev brothers. Lindorff's illustration in photos shows the striking difference in the wrinkle-free coats worn by the Tsarneav brothers compared to the significant wrinkling of the coats worn by the model carrying a backpack of similar size and weight based on the government's claim of the type of bomb used by the bombers:

If you look carefully at the first set of photos, showing the surveillance photo of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and the model wearing a similar pack containing the loaded pot, both packs being slung over the right shoulder using the right strap only, you can see a dramatic difference. There are stress wrinkles under the jacket of the right image on the model, caused by the 30-lb. weight pulling downward, but Dzhokhar’s jacket can be seen to be completely smooth under the strap. His pack is clearly extremely light on his shoulder (which may be why he’s not wearing it slung over both shoulders).  As well, you can see that the weight of the pot, pulling down and outward in the model’s bag on the right, is causing a downward sloping of the top of the backpack, and is also causing many vertical stress lines on the face of the bag itself. Dzhokhar’s bag, however, is flat across the top, indicating no such downward pulling force, and it does not exhibit any downward wrinkles on its side. Whatever he is carrying, it is clearly not a 30-lb., or even a 20-lb. cylinder . . .

Moving to Tamerlan Tsarnaev, check out the model’s slightly larger pack, which like Tamerlan’s is being worn with both straps over the shoulders. Again, the pack on the right, containing the loaded pot, is causing obvious wrinkles on the winter coat where the straps are bearing down on a small section of padded coat. Once again the weight of the straps of the shoulder— this time 15 lbs. per strap—can be seen causing prominent wrinkling on the winter coat worn by the model underneath the straps. The downward sloping of the face of the backpack, and also the vertical stress wrinkles are prominent and clearly visible also. In the video surveillance photo of Tamerlan, however, his coat can be seen to be unwrinkled under the straps, and there are again no vertical stress lines on the face of his pack. Again, it is hard to imagine a 30 or even a 20-lb. weight in the bottom of that pack . . .

That's not all the inconsistencies he found. So who did it? Well, Lindorff found that those backpacks worn by the mysterious uniformed men providing some form of security for the event and also photographed at the scene of the bombing "were both very dark black and large enough and full-enough looking to be containing a loaded pressure kettle." "These men were observed and photographed wearing baseball caps and shirts bearing the uniquely drawn white skull logo of a Houston, TX-based mercenary-for-hire firm called Craft International Security," Lindorff writes.


Read Lindorff's full investigative story at WhoWhatWhy by clicking here. WhyWhatWhy's investigative journalist Russ Baker also has a separate story here discussing many of the mysteries of the bombings that have been completely ignored by the mainstream media. Baker says WhoWhatWhy's investigation of the events in Boston are "just getting started" after most of the media has already written the last chapter of the story. "Why? Because we see a lot of problems with what we’ve been told so far. We’ve been disappointed that the media have failed to demonstrate healthy skepticism while passing along, unchallenged, the (self-serving) assertions of 'the authorities,'" Baker writes.

Again, I ask Sen. Dan Coats, if he is serious about his role as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, why he will not publicly address the issue of the ties of the Boston bombing suspects' uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, to the CIA's Graham Fuller and what, if any role, he played in Tamerlan's trip to Russia prior to the bombings and what led Russian authorities to become suspicious enough about his activities to warn the FBI and CIA long before last month's bombings in Boston.

Fort Wayne Private Airline Owner Offers To Fly Tamerlan Tsarnaev's Body To Russia

In an unusual move, the owner of a private airline based in Fort Wayne has offered to fly the body of suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev back to his family's home in Russia free of charge. The offer comes from Frank Kaiser, founder and president of Eagle's Wings Air, a private airline that specializes in transporting deceased person's remains. The offer comes after the Cambridge, Massachusetts funeral home operator who is handling Tsarnaev's remains complained that no cemeteries in Massachusetts will accept his body for burial. The Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette reports on Kaiser's offer:

A Fort Wayne company that specializes in transporting human remains has volunteered to cover the cost of flying the body of a Boston marathon bombing suspect back to his native Russia.

The offer was made as a show of support for Worcester, Mass., funeral home director Peter Stefan, who hasn't been able to find a cemetery in Massachusetts willing to take the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, said Frank Kaiser, president and CEO of Eagle's Wings Air.

The company's offer was also made with hopes of easing the pain among greater Boston residents by resolving the issue of what to do with Tsarnaev's body.

"We empathize with the residents of Cambridge and surrounding communities and their objections to having Tsarnaev's final resting place located near them," Kaiser said Tuesday in a written statement. "We are offering to facilitate the air transportation of the deceased's remains out of the United States on an international commercial flight at no charge to the funeral home, the city of Cambridge or any taxpayers."

Kaiser made it clear that his company was not extending the offer to Tsarnaev's family and noted that the cost of shipping a person's remains to Russia is upward of $5,000.

"We have not offered to pay that fee on behalf of the family of the deceased," he said.

Kaiser insisted the offer is not a publicity stunt. "We stand ready to offer our assistance at no profit to our company," he said.

The CEO described his company, founded in 2007, as the nation's leader in shipping human remains. He said his business made 15,000 such transports domestically and internationally in 2012 . . .

Tsarnaev's mother has said she wants his body returned to Russia, but it's not at all clear that local police will allow his body to be taken out of the country. At the same time, the mayors of Cambridge and Boston have publicly declared their intent to block his burial in their communities, along with a string of other public officials in Massachusetts.

Tsarnaev's parents also wanted to conduct an independent autopsy on his body. They insist their sons are innocent and have alleged that their sons were framed by elements of the U.S. government, which have been in contact with her sons for years, for their alleged roles in the bombings. The FBI confirmed it had interviewed Tsarnaev prior to the bombings as part of an investigation only after Tsarnaev's mother publicly accused them of handling her son. The FBI originally denied any prior contacts with him. Russian authorities have also publicly disclosed that they warned both the FBI and the CIA of their concerns Tsarnaev may have ties to terrorists long before the bombings.

Tsarnaev's uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, took charge of handling his nephew's funeral arrangements after his parents dropped travel plans to the U.S. due to concerns that they might face federal or state criminal charges should they step foot on American soil. Tsarnaev's mother has an outstanding shoplifting case against her, which was defaulted after she failed to return to the country to face trial on the charge. Ruslan Tsarni was outed by alternative media as an agent of the CIA after he publicly accused his nephews of committing the bombings. Tsarni has been employed by USAID, a cut out agency of the CIA and once lived with a top CIA official, Graham Fuller, while he was married to Fuller's daughter. It has further been shown that Tsarni helped establish a nonprofit organization that aided Chechen rebels tied to terrorism is Russia, even using Fuller's home address as a mailing address for the organization.

Kaiser, the founder and president of Eagle's Wings Air, is a trained pilot who served four years in the U.S. Navy, which included duty aboard the USS America aircraft carrier. The America was frequently deployed for missions in Vietnam and the Middle East hotspots before setting out on its last mission in 1996. The ship was later sunk in 2005 southeast of Cape Hatteras, the largest warship ever to be intentionally sunk.

UPDATE: Please check out this updated report from Boiling Frogs telling you things about Graham Fuller and Ruslan Tsarni the Obama administration and the mainstream media don't want you to know as they continue their desperate attempt to pin the blame for the Boston bombings on Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. If anyone has any knowledge of CIA ties to Eagle's Wings Air or Frank Kaiser, please share. Those ties are popping up everywhere, even if the mainstream media chooses to ignore them. I would also encourage Hoosier readers to contact Sen. Dan Coats' office and ask why he, as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, remains silent on the CIA ties to the Boston bombing suspects. Members of his staff regularly read this blog so I know they are quite aware of what's been reported here.

CIA-Employed Uncle Takes Charge Of Tamerlan Tsarnaev's Burial Arrangements

Ruslan Tsarni (Steven/Senne/AP photo)

The immediate family of Tamerlan Tsarnaev insist that their son was under the control of federal agents of the U.S. government when he allegedly set the two bombs which we now have confirmed were yet another false flag attack conducted by rogue elements within the CIA against the American people in furtherance of their goal of toppling the Republic and serving it up to the New World Order. Tsarnaev's parents have insisted that Tamerlan and his brother Dzhokhar were framed, and that Tamerlan was initially taken alive by federal agents before he was killed by them. The parents planned to travel to the U.S. to claim their son's body, but the feds turned up the pressure, threatening to bring criminal charges against them, leading them to drop their plans to travel to the U.S. for now. The parents had planned to have an independent autopsy performed to determine the cause of his death.

Tamerlan's mysterious uncle, who was quick to throw Tamerlan and his younger brother under the bus, has now taken charge of handling Tamerlan's burial arrangements. Alternative investigative news reporters have confirmed that Uncle Ruslan is a CIA asset handled by his ex-father-in-law, long-time top CIA official Graham Fuller, the brainchild of the Iran-Contra scandal that rocked the administration of President Ronald Reagan. To no body's surprise, Uncle Ruslan has blocked plans to conduct an independent autopsy because that would violate Islamic tradition, a religion Uncle Ruslan described as being "a fake religion." The Boston Globe reports on Uncle Rulsan's plans for his nephew's remains:

Relatives of Tamerlan Tsarnaev accompanied by religious leaders visited the Graham Putnum & Mahoney Funeral Parlors Sunday morning and planned this afternoon to wash Tsarnaev’s body in the traditional Islamic fashion.

Tsarnaev’s uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, is overseeing burial arrangements for the Boston Marathon bombing suspect, with the help of funeral home director Peter Stefan. It is still not known where Tsarnaev will be buried — a handful of local cemetaries have rejected requests to bury Tsarnaev.

“I appreciate the help that I’m receiving from Mr. Stefan,” Tsarni said to reporters Sunday. “Tamerlan Tsarnaev has no other place to be buried. There is no other place to accept this body.

“He lived in America. He grew up here and for the last 10 years he decided to be in Cambridge, therefore any contemplation that the body should be taken to a home country...his home country is Cambridge, Massachusetts,” Tsarni said.

Family members had been expected to have a second medical examination conducted on Sunday, but it is now unclear whether any further examination if Tsarnaev’s body will take place.

Stefan initially said he was expecting an independent medical examiner to be sent by the family’s attorneys. But Stefan said he was told this morning that second full autopsy will not be performed, but that representatives from the family’s legal team will likely photograph the body before it is washed.

Once the body is washed, no further medical examination can be conducted without violating the religious burial tradition, Stefan said.

“Once that body is washed and shrouded, the only place we’re going after that is to the cemetery,” Stefan said . . .

Investigative reporter Daniel Hopsicker correctly called it first two days ago when he suggested that the CIA had taken control of the Boston bombing investigation as he lamented the disgraceful role the American media has played in covering the story.

Police Now Probing Dead Bombing Suspects' Link To An Unsolved Triple Homicide Involving Drug Dealer

The intrigue surrounding the two men accused of carrying out the deadly bombs that shook last Monday's Boston Marathon takes yet another twist. The Boston Globe says police are looking at a possible link to a triple homicide committed more than a two years ago involving a drug dealer and man described as one of Tamerlan Tsarnaev's best friends. Tsarnaev didn't attend the friend's funeral and left on a 6-month trip to Russia seveal months following the killings after FBI officials had questioned him about his ties to radical Islam.

It was one of the most gruesome killings in Greater Boston in many years: three young men found with their throats slit inside a Waltham apartment on a quiet residential street, their bodies sprinkled with marijuana.

Now, police and prosecutors are stepping up their investigation into the unsolved 2011 triple homicide at the request of victims’ relatives who believe that suspected Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev may have played a role, noting that Tsarnaev had been close friends with one of the dead men.

What is more, the grieving relatives say the killings took place on a highly symbolic date for Islamic extremists: the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon . . .

The death certificates of two of the victims — Brendan H. Mess, 25, and Rafael M. Teken, 37 — say they were killed on Sept. 12, the day that Mess’s girlfriend reportedly discovered the bodies of the three victims and ran screaming from the two-family house where they had gathered.

But a relative of one of the victims told the Globe he is certain they were killed on the evening of Sept. 11, because he was texting one of them about a Sunday night football game between the New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys when communication suddenly stopped, at about 8:15 that evening . . .

The Globe reported Saturday that Tamerlan Tsarnaev knew Mess well, once introducing him to the owner of the gym where they both worked out as his “best friend.” But another friend of Mess pointed out that Tsarnaev did not even attend Mess’s funeral.

“If they were best friends, you would think [Tamerlan] would have been absolutely devastated and would have reached out to someone,” said the friend of Mess, who asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation. “That confirms my suspicions that something was up.’’

Records reviewed by the Globe show that at least one member of the Mess family lived in the same Cambridge neighborhood as the Tsarnaevs . . .

In 2011, FBI agents questioned Tamerlan Tsarnaev after his native Russia raised concerns about his possible extremism.

In addition, within months of the triple homicide, in early 2012, Tamerlan went to Russia for six months, visiting family members in Dagestan, which borders the Tsarnaevs’ ancestral homeland of Chechnya, a region with a history of violent Islamic rebellion . . .

In addition to the marijuana and $5,000 found at the crime scene, Weissman’s past may have pointed investigators to drugs as a motive. In 2008, Weissman was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, according to a police report.

What Else Does Uncle Ruslan Know?

Ruslan Tsarni emerged from his suburban Washington, D.C. home only hours after federal officials identified Tameran and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as the prime suspects in last Monday's deadly Boston Marathon bombings to appear before a gaggle of reporters at a hastily-called and carefully choreographed press conference, which by all appearances was arranged by federal law enforcement so he could announce to the world that he was the uncle of the two suspects he denounced as "losers." In the short press conference, Tsarni left no doubts that he would be no shrinking violet in denouncing the malevolent actions he, unlike other family members, had concluded they had committed. Asked by reporters how his nephews could have carried out the bombings, this is how the Washington Post says Tsarni responded:

Being losers,” was the only thing Tsarni could come up with. “Hatred for those who were able to settle themselves. These are the only reasons I can imagine of. Anything else, anything else to do with religion, with Islam, it’s a fraud, it’s a fake.

“Dzhokhar, if you’re alive, turn yourself in and ask for forgiveness from the victims, from the injured and from those who left, ask forgiveness from these people,” Ruslan Tsarni said. “He put a shame on our family, [the] Tsarni family. He put a shame on the entire Chechen ethnicity. Because everyone now, they play with the word, Chechen, so they put that shame on the entire ethnicity.”

Uncle Ruslan admitted to reporters that he hadn't seen his nephews or their parents in several years. Another uncle, Alvi Tsarni, lives in the same neighborhood near Ruslan's house. He was more reserved in his comments. He said a family conflict had dvided him from the rest of his family. He had no message for his surviving nephew.  “What can I tell him?” Alvi Tsarni said. “He’s not going to listen to me.” On cue, Uncle Ruslan concluded his short press conference after being tapped on the shoulder by an unidentified plainclothes federal law enforcement officer.

As he spoke, law enforcement officers stood behind him. Some were in plain clothes and had been inside his home, apparently federal agents who had talked to him about his family. Others were uniformed officers from Montgomery County who had helped keep reporters from knocking on Tsarni’s door. At some point, one of the plainclothes agents made a motion that it was time to cut Tsarni off. The officers tapped his back and led him back into his house.

My immediate reaction to Ruslan's damning condemnation of the nephews he hadn't seen in years was to wonder why a family relative would so quickly throw the two suspects under the bus before more than circumstantial evidence in the form of photographic images of two suspects wearing backpacks near the two bombings who resembled his nephews had been offered by the government to prove their guilt. Within hours of the suspects' images being broadcast worldwide, the two would out themseleves by allegedly killing an MIT police officer, hijacking a car, robbing the motorist and critically wounding a transit officer during a shootout with police, which would leave one of his nephews dead after more than 200 rounds were allegedly fired and several explosive devices had been hurled at the police by the suspects. The younger brother was still on the run from police as his uncle spoke to reporters.

As Internet sleuths had already demonstrated, numerous individuals carrying backpacks near the scene of the bombings had been identified in photographs taken at or near the time of the explosions. Various news reports also indicated that law enforcement officials had only 24 hours earlier circulated images of two suspects to select members of the media that identified persons other than Ruslan's nephews, which some new organizations even went so far as to publish, including the New York Post. More importantly, the original suspect identified by law enforcement was a Saudi national who had been injured by one of the bomb's blasts and thought to be acting suspiciously in the blast's aftermath by police. Very troubling terrorist ties of that individual have been reported mostly by alternative media after unnamed ICE officials told reporters the individual's status on a student visa would be revoked and that he would be removed from the country in short order. Never forget that 15 of the 19 terrorists who carried out the 9/11 attacks were Saudi nationals.

I was struck by the lack of interest on the part of the mainstream media to inquire more deeply into the background of the suspects' uncle, who was so quick to accept their guilt, at the same time his parents and aunt emotionally defended their innocence, even going so far as to claim the two men had been framed. The fact that Ruslan, also an immigrant, lived near the nation's capital and had helped facilitate the immigration of the suspects and their families from Russia back in 2002 made his comments all the more peculiar. Press reports said little about him, other than he was a corporate attorney who had shortened his name to "Tsarni" after graduating from law school at Duke University. So much for Uncle Ruslan, the ace attorney in the family, believing in innocence until proven guilty like his nephews' aunt, an attorney in training living in Toronto, Canada. Naturally, we have to turn to alternative media to learn who Uncle Ruslan is. All I can I say after learning his background is wow!

It turns out that Ruslan worked for USAID as a consultant back in the 1990s in the Russian republic of Kazakhstan before becoming a prominent oil and gas attorney for various energy companies. Madcow investigative journalist Daniel Hopsicker uncovered a press announcement when Ruslan joined Big Sky Energy Corporation as a top executive back in 2005. Here's Ruslan's biographical narrative recited in that announcement:

Mr. Ruslan Tsarni, a U.S. citizen, has over 10 years of professional experience in oil and gas legislation and corporate law. Previously, Mr. Tsarni served as Corporate Counsel of Nelson Resources Limited Group of companies, as well as Managing Director of several of its operating subsidiaries, responsible for all matters relating to corporate governance and placements and filing requirements under the securities regulations of Toronto Stock Exchange and AIM. He worked with financial institutions and banks on raising funds for acquisition and development of the assets operated by Nelson's subsidiaries, as well as managed legal and administrative matters for all such subsidiaries. From 1999 to 2001, Mr.  Tsarni worked as Head of Legal Affairs of Golden Eagle Partners LLC where he developed downstream and upstream oil and gas businesses in Kazakhstan and served as Managing Director of its wholly owned subsidiary Tobe LLP. From 1998 to 1999 Mr. Tsarni worked as Senior Associate with Salans Hertzfeld & Heilbronn providing legal advise to major multinational companies on different aspects of Kazakhstan legal issues on development of mineral resources, corporations, taxation, currency, customs, employment, banking, bankruptcy and trade marks. From 1994 to 1996, Mr. Tsarni served as a consultant for Financial Markets International LLC and Arthur Andersen LLP contracted by USAID for projects aimed to develop securities markets in Central Asia, where he trained corporate governance and corporate finance principals to state and private companies. 

According to Hopsicker, the CIA often used USAID, a government agency, as cover for its agents during the 'Wild West' days of the early 1990's, when anything that wasn't nailed down in that country was up for grabs. What's equally intriguing is Ruslan's involvement in an ongoing investigation of a billionaire businessman from Kazakhstan, Timur Kulibayev, who has been accused of embezzling $6 billion from Kazakhstan's BTA Bank, and who is involved in a separate investigation that has ensnared Britain's Prince Andrew, who sold a multi-million dollar estate he owned to Kulibayev at a selling price $5 million over the market price. The estate has sat unused since payment for it was arranged through an offshore transaction.

Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, in his capacity as Special Trade Represenative, allegedly discussed a bribery arrangement and an investigation of an arms deal. "The Duke, she explained, 'was referencing an investigation, subsequently closed, into alleged kickbacks a senior Saudi royal had received in exchange for the multi-year, lucrative BAE Systems contract to provide equipment and training to Saudi security forces." Kazakhstan President's billionaire son-in-law purchased Prince Andrew's Surrey mansion in Sunninghill Park using offshore companies. Kulibayev is described in the leaked cabals as one of the men who has accumulated millions in gas-rich Kazakhstan. Last year, Swiss and Italian police were reportedly investigating "a network of personal and business relationships" of the Duke of York used for international corruption. Enviro Pacific Investment, which charges large fees to energy companies seeking to do business with Kazakhstan, reportedly contributed part of the purchase price for the Surrey mansion. Prince Andrew has denied any wrongdoing.

Relying on reports by the London Telegraph, Hopsicker notes an investigation into money laundering by Kulibayev discussing Ruslan as a witness. Tsarni, who is referred to as "a U.S. lawyer who has had dealings in Kazakh business affairs," was reported to have given a statement "in the High Court in December, claiming that Kulibayev bought Sunninghill and properties in Mayfair with $96 million derived from a complex series of deals intended to disguised money laundering." The report continued, "Tsarni alleged that the money came from a takeover of a western company, which had  been used as a front to obtain oil contracts from the Kazakh state." The report alleges that Blue Sky Energy where Tsarni was employed as a top executive was the western company he mentioned in his testimony had been used as part of the money laundering scheme. Hopsicker cites a source from Platts Oilgram News for the proposition that several of the energy companies with which Tsarni has been affiliated in the past, including Big Sky, as being "on my watch list for intelligence connections and pay-offs of various kinds." Hopsicker also notes that a Radio Free Europe report describes the Tsarnaevs as being a very well-connected family in their native Chechen community. Perhaps it's just a coincidence, but their home near the border of Kazakhstan was next door to the home of a well-known organized crime boss, Aziz Baukaev, also a member of the Chechen community.

Imagine, a connection between good 'ole oil and terrorism. Did we spend trillions of dollars fighting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to fight terrorism, or was it all about access and control of Middle Eastern oil? Did we become involved in Libya to overthrow an evil dictator, or was it all about the country's oil?  Yesterday, the New York Post ran a story describing how Tameran Tsarnaez became radicalized in recent years living in the U.S. "[Tamerlan] mentioned how in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, most casualties are innocent people gunned down by American soldiers," the Post reported. "He mentioned that America has colonial power and is trying to take over in the Middle East and Africa." I wonder where he would have got that thought? From a Washington Post report last year titled,  "Why do we ignore the civilian casualties in American wars?":

Despite the fact that contemporary weapons are vastly more precise, Iraq war casualties, which are also hard to quantify, have reached several hundred thousand. In mid-2006, two household surveys — the most scientific means of calculating — found 400,000 to 650,000 deaths, and there has been a lot of killing since then . . .

The war in Afghanistan has been far less violent than the others, with civilian and military deaths estimated at about 100,000.

Will anyone in the mainstream media investigate Uncle Ruslan's ties to energy companies and the U.S. government? Is it possible Uncle Ruslan's nephews are mere patsies in a much larger plot? Some of us would like to know. The people are counting on a few good investigative journalists to do the job. Watching mainstream news reports over the past week gives me little hope any will emerge.

UPDATE: Possibly related story. The Boston Globe reports on the apprehension of two students from Kazakhstan in New Bedford for visa violations who are suspected of being connected to the suspected bombers. These are likely the students shown in one of photos Dzhokhar Tsarnaev supposedly uploaded to his Twitter account, which shows them standing next to a black BMW with a vanity plate on the front that reads "Terrorista". A little too obvious, don't you think? Sort of like the YouTube clips promoting radical Islamic views that Tamerin supposedly uploaded to the Internet and then removed. The people who stage these false flags count on a complacent media and a stupid, undiscerning public. Former President Dwight Eisenhower warned us about these evil forces in his farewell address. Nobody listened to him. His successor's assassination was a product of the very forces that the decorated WWII general had grown to fear.

Two foreign students arrested Saturday in New Bedford for allegedly violating their student visas are from Kazakhstan and may have known the brothers accused of bombing the Boston Marathon, according to a statement from the nation’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

FBI and Homeland Security agents wearing hazmat suits descended on the students’ neighborhood on Monday and searched their apartment, according to media reports in New Bedford.

Kazakhstan’s foreign ministry said US immigration officials discovered the students while investigating the Tsarnaev brothers’ “possible links and contacts,” particularly those who studied with them. The students – two men -- are being held in Boston, according to the ministry and a US official.

“During the investigation, it was revealed that two students from Kazakhstan had violated the U.S. visa regime in the course of their studies. They were consequently arrested until the full clarification of the circumstances is achieved,” the ministry said in a statement.

The New Bedford students are being held on civil immigration violations, not criminal charges, which is why federal officials have not disclosed their names to the public. US immigration officials usually withhold the names of immigrant detainees purportedly to protect their privacy, even though detainees are often held in the same jails as criminals.

Kazakhstan’s consul is in Boston to work with the students, their families and US authorities, according to the ministry. The oil-producing nation of 17 million people was formerly a part of the Soviet Union. The United States was the first nation to recognize the nation’s independence in 1991, federal records show.

On Monday, Kazakhstan officials assured the United States that they were willing to cooperate on issues of terrorism. “We would like to reaffirm our openness to cooperation with the United States on the issue and emphasize that Kazakhstan strongly condemns terrorism and acts of terrorism in any form,” the embassy said.
