(https://truthandshadows.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/tsarnaev-dzhokhar.jpg) By Craig McKee Dzhokhar Tsarnaev never had a chance. While there is significant evidence supporting the accused Boston bomber’s innocence, none of it made it into his trial, which just concluded with guilty verdicts on all 30 counts against him. It seems that law enforcement, the media, and especially Tsarnaev’s own lawyer, Judy Clarke, were focused on suppressing any evidence that could have undermined the official story of the bombing. The truth has been covered up just as effectively as it was the day Lee Harvey Oswald was shot by Jack Ruby. Clarke insured Tsarnaev’s conviction when she opened the trial by admitting that he had carried out the bombing on April 15, 2013 with his brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan, who was killed in the aftermath. Clarke painted Tamerlan as the instigator in an apparent effort to spare Dzhokhar from execution, but that may happen anyway as the trial now enters the sentencing phase. Clarke is known for her ability to keep her clients off death row (including Unabomber Ted Kaczyinski; alleged 9/11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui; and Jared Loughner, who was convicted of shooting Rep. Gabrielle Giffords), but given the weakness of the evidence against Tsarnaev, Clarke’s strategy amounted to throwing in the towel before the trial even started. But what about making the prosecution prove guilt? To say that Clarke could have created reasonable doubt if she had wanted to is an understatement. In this article, we’ll look at the evidence that should have been introduced at Tsarnaev’s trial but wasn’t (Keep in mind that Dzhokhar had claimed his innocence (http://www.thewire.com/national/2013/05/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-walking-talking-and-claiming-hes-innocent /65741/), which conflicted with the supposed confession he wrote on the inside of the boat where he was captured on April 19, four days after the bombing). Most have taken for granted from the beginning that Tamerlan and Dzhokhar did what they are accused of doing. But how many would be surprised to learn that the evidence against them depends on the statements of just two people – and these just happen to be the two most suspicious characters in this incredible story. While there is little direct evidence of guilt, there is plenty that points to the brothers being set up as patsies. 2 of 93 20/03/16 11:28 Justice denied: Tsarnaev’s own lawyer ignores evidence he is innocent of Boston bombing | Tru... https://truthandshadows.wordpress.com/2015/04/10/justice-denied-examining-the-evidence-that... Investigative reporter Russ Baker, who has written extensively about the case, explains in one of his articles (http://whowhatwhy.com/2014/03 /13/something-dead-wrong-investigating-mysterious-central-character-danny-part-2-2/) just how thin the evidence is against the brothers is (Note that the “Danny” referred to below is the alleged carjacking victim, whose identity remained hidden until the trial. He has since been identified as Chinese immigrant Dun Meng.): “Without the murder of the MIT policeman, followed by the carjacking confession reported by Danny, we would have no solved crime, no evidence linking anyone to the horrific Boston Marathon bombing except some grainy video of two guys wearing backpacks in a sea of other backpack- wearers near the source of the explosion. The assumption many of us make that the Tsarnaevs planted those bombs is just that: an assumption that, in the absence of the reported confession, has no evidence behind it.” No evidence behind it. THE OFFICIAL BOMBING STORY The official story of the Boston Marathon bombing is a very strange one indeed, particularly for what happened in the days that followed the main event. This version includes a murder, a carjacking, a shootout, an escape, a police manhunt, martial law, and even a hideout confession amid a hail of gunfire. As the story goes, two radicalized Muslim brothers of Chechen descent decided they wanted to strike out at a visible American target in retribution for the killing of Muslims around the world by the U.S. government. The brothers allegedly placed and detonated two pressure cooker bombs filled with shrapnel in separate locations – the blasts coming just a few seconds apart – near the finish line of the Marathon just before 3 p.m. on April 15, 2013. The brothers had seemingly gotten away with the crime until they took a series of inexplicable actions (this is on top of the fact that they chose to remain in the Boston area after the alleged bombing rather than simply getting out of town). These events started three days after the bombing when police released photos of the brothers and asked the public for help in identifying them. They were labelled as “suspects.” This, we’re left to conclude, spooked Tamerlan and Dzhokhar into making some very reckless decisions that brought about their downfall. On the night of the 18th, they are alleged to have killed MIT police officer Sean Collier in order to get his gun, although they didn’t take the gun. Then the brothers are alleged to have committed a carjacking and to have told the victim that they were responsible for both the Boston bombing and the Collier murder. We’re told that they took the victim for a drive that involved stops at a bank and a gas station. They took the carjack victim’s Mercedes SUV and then supposedly allowed him to escape so that he could tell authorities that his captors had admitted to being responsible for the bombings and the murder. Not very smart… The two followed this, we’re told, by leaving the scene of the carjacking with both the Honda Civic they arrived in and the stolen SUV, although they abandoned the Honda at some point. 3 of 93 20/03/16 11:28 Justice denied: Tsarnaev’s own lawyer ignores evidence he is innocent of Boston bombing | Tru... https://truthandshadows.wordpress.com/2015/04/10/justice-denied-examining-the-evidence-that... (https://truthandshadows.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/tsarnaev- brothers.jpg) Dzhokhar (white hat) and Tamerlan (black hat) at the Marathon. The allegedly stolen Mercedes was later spotted by police, we’re told, leading to a shootout in Watertown, Mass. It was there where Tamerlan was allegedly shot. Dzhokhar is supposed to have jumped into the SUV and driven over his brother’s body in escaping (possibly causing his death). Soon after, he allegedly abandoned the vehicle and ran off on foot, hiding in a boat parked behind a home. The owner noticed blood on the outside of the boat and that the cover had been disturbed, and he looked in to see Dzhokhar lying inside. Police were called, and this led to what we were told was an exchange of gunfire between Dzhokhar and police, although it came out later that the suspect was unarmed and that police had done all the shooting. These are what we’re told are the facts, although there are multiple versions of each element of the story. In fact, none of the versions makes any sense, but the inconsistency is definitely telling. Let’s take a look at the major elements of the story and how the official story is not borne out by the evidence in each one. THE EXERCISE An early clue that Boston was a false flag operation was the bomb “exercise” (http://www.storyleak.com/boston-marathon-runner-police-boston- 4 of 93 20/03/16 11:28 Justice denied: Tsarnaev’s own lawyer ignores evidence he is innocent of Boston bombing | Tru... https://truthandshadows.wordpress.com/2015/04/10/justice-denied-examining-the-evidence-that... explosion-training-exercise/) that was going on at the exact same location and time as the actual bombing. This has become a tell-tale sign of false flags, particularly since 9/11 when numerous exercises were taking place that simulated the very thing that actually happened at the very time it was happening. Loudspeakers announced to the crowd near the finish line of the Marathon that they needn’t worry about the bomb squad and their bomb-sniffing dogs patrolling the area during the race because it was just an exercise. Incredibly, two hours before the blasts the Boston Globe tweeted (at 12:53 p.m.) that there would be a “controlled explosion opposite from the library within one minute as part of bomb squad activities.” Boston Public Library is right across the street from where the first blast went off just before 3 p.m. Quite a coincidence. Another tweet came later specifying the JFK Library (which is some distance away). It said: “Third incident: Explosion earlier today at the JFK Library.” Later still, the story changed again: “Fire earlier today likely unrelated to Marathon bombings.” No more talk of bomb squad activities. The most absurd example of an exercise being synchronized with an actual false flag event is the 7/7 London bombings of July 2005 when a simulation of the bombing of three underground stations was going on as those same stations were actually being bombed (not to mention a real bus bomb that was also reflected in the exercise).

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2014 Statement on the First Anniversary of the Boston Marathon Bombing April 15, 2014
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2014 Statement on the First Anniversary of the Boston Marathon Bombing April 15, 2014 A year ago, tragedy struck at the 117th Boston Marathon. Four innocent people were killed that week, and hundreds more were wounded. Today we remember Krystle Campbell, Lingzi Lu, Martin Richard, and Sean Collier. And we send our thoughts and prayers to those still struggling to recover. We also know that the most vivid images from that day were not of smoke and chaos, but of compassion, kindness, and strength: a man in a cowboy hat helping a wounded stranger out of harm's way, runners embracing loved ones and each other, an EMT carrying a spectator to safety. Today we recognize the incredible courage and leadership of so many Bostonians in the wake of unspeakable tragedy. And we offer our deepest gratitude to the courageous firefighters, police officers, medical professionals, runners, and spectators who, in an instant, displayed the spirit Boston was built on: perseverance, freedom, and love. One year later, we also stand in awe of the men and women who continue to inspire us: learning to stand, walk, dance, and run again. With each new step our country is moved by the resilience of a community and a city. And when the sun rises over Boylston Street next Monday, Patriot's Day, hundreds of thousands will come together to show the world the meaning of "Boston Strong," as a city chooses to run again. NOTE: The statement referred to Carlos Arredondo, a spectator at the 2013 Boston Marathon who assisted Jeff Bauman, Jr., who was wounded in the bombing.

Chair: Dr. Beth Innocenti Dr. Scott Harris Dr. Robert Rowland Date Defended: 14 January 2019 ii The thesis committee for Benton James Bajorek certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Baseball, Rituals, and the American Dream: An Analysis of the Boston Red Sox’s Response to the Boston Marathon Bombing Chair: Dr. Beth Innocenti Date Approved: 14 January 2019 iii Abstract In April 2013, the Tsarnaev brothers placed two homemade bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. This attack created a need for healing the city’s spirit and the Boston Red Sox played an essential role in the city’s recovery as the team invited victims and first responders to pregame ceremonies throughout the season to participate in ritualistic pregame ceremonies. This thesis examines the Red Sox first home game after the bombing and argues that ritualistic pregame ceremonies craft conditions for performing national citizenship identity by calling upon mythic belief systems to warrant norms of citizenship performance. iv Acknowledgments I did not know what to expect from my first year of graduate school at the University of Kansas. Five years ago, I would never have dreamed of being in the position I’m currently in.

Williams Supervisory Assistant United States Attorney Charleston Branch Manager District of South Carolina Aloke Chakravarty Assistant U.S. Attorney/ATAC Coordinator District of Massachusetts Steven Mellin Assistant United States Attorney Southern District of Texas I. Introduction Crimes of terror strike at diverse communities and institutions—from a once-anonymous courthouse in Oklahoma City to landmark skyscrapers in New York. By design, such offenses are indiscriminate and maddeningly cruel to victims who have done nothing to invite the offenders’ wrath. The unpredictability and diffuse impact of these crimes present unique challenges for prosecutors. In recent years, the Department prosecuted two high-profile offenders for crimes of terror— Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who bombed spectators at the Boston Marathon, and Dylann Roof, who shot parishoners engaged in Bible study at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church in Charleston, South Carolina. The cases illustrate the Department’s efforts to balance the demands of successful criminal prosecutions with the needs of victims. 45 II. United States v.

    Media Contact: Lauren Anderson 571/431-0843 FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION 99th Annual AOPA National Assembly Coming to Boston, Sept. 8-11 WASHINGTON, D.C. – August 26, 2016 – The 99th Annual AOPA National Assembly is coming to the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, MA. The Annual Assembly is the highlight of the year for the more than 2,200 orthotic, prosthetic and pedorthic professionals expected in attendance – because of its expansive educational opportunities, massive exhibit hall, and engaging events. AOPA is proud to unveil Expo Day in the 100,000 square foot exhibit hall, where there will be special events, patient demonstrations and lots of door prizes. Special guests at Expo Day include Jeff Bauman, who became an amputee during the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing and played a vital role in identifying the bombers. He will be signing copies of his memoir, Stronger to benefit the Wiggle your Toes Foundation. Professional ballroom dancer and bombing survivor Adrianne Haslet-Davis will perform for the crowd and teach interested participants the Waltz or the Rumba. The much anticipated Boston Strong Grand Rounds will begin with Adrianne and Heather Abbott sharing their stories of recovery since the bombing. Then a multidisciplinary panel will review three actual case studies of amputee survivors with the medical teams who cared for them. The panel will be moderated by Dr. David Crandell of Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, who was involved in the care of 25 of the most severely injured survivors of the bombing, including 15 amputees. The panel includes surgeons, prosthetists and physical therapists from Spaulding, Boston Medical Center, Atrius Health, Brigham & Women's, Medical Center O&P, and Hanger Clinic.

  • Testimony of Former Boston Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis, III Before the House Committee on Homeland Security April 9, 2014
    Testimony of former Boston Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis, III Before the House Committee on Homeland Security April 9, 2014 Chairman McCaul, Ranking Member Thompson, distinguished members of the Committee, thank you for inviting me back before you today to once again discuss the events of April 15, 2013, when the Boston Marathon and our nation came under attack by a pair of extremist brothers bent on challenging our freedom. I came before you last May as Commissioner of the Boston Police Department to offer my insights into the information‐sharing that occurred before and during the events of last April. I also came to you on behalf of the Boston community, and specifically, four people whose voices could no longer be heard because of the attacks of these cowards. Once again, before I begin my remarks, I ask that you remember the lives of Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell, Lu Lingzi, and MIT Police Officer Sean Collier. Let my comments today reflect that none of us should ever forget four lives that were senselessly cut too short by the events of that week. Next Tuesday afternoon at 2:50 p.m. we will mark the one‐year anniversary since two pressure‐ cooker bombs were detonated on Boylston Street, on a historic stretch of a Boston Street that leads to one of the most inspirational sights an athlete can view – the finish line of the Boston Marathon. A lot has changed in that one year. For the hundreds of victims wounded in the attacks, life has been altered. Yet on a daily basis, we continue to see and hear the inspirational stories of those victims – stories like that of Adrianne Haslet‐Davis of Boston, a professional dancer who returned to the stage last month despite losing part of her left leg in one of the explosions.

He tried to talk, but he could not. He looked angry, as he motioned his arms up and out like shock waves and mouthed: “Boom! Boom!” Jeff Bauman is the man in the photograph that has become an icon of the Boston Marathon attack, the one showing a bloodied, distraught young man, holding his left thigh, being wheeled away by a man in a cowboy hat. If the world could not identify him immediately, Mr. Bauman’s father — also named Jeff Bauman — certainly could. That was his son with his legs destroyed, wearing a favorite shirt. That was his son. When the explosions went off at the Boston Marathon, Jeff Bauman, 52, called his son’s cellphone again and again — no answer. He knew his son was there, to cheer for his girlfriend, Erin Hurley, who was running her first Boston Marathon.
