The Boston Bombing: 9
Today is Tuesday, 30 April 2013.
Senator Lindsey Graham (Republican - South Carolina) has called for a select Congressional committee to carry out a McCarthy-style witch-hunt regarding alleged intelligence lapses by Federal agencies before the Boston Bombing.
Has Lindsey called for a similar, albeit retrospective, inquiry into the lapses and political intrigues which opened the way to the bombing of the US Marine Barracks in Beirut on 23 October 1983?
I think not.
Surely Lindsay has heard of the deaths there of 241 US Marines, on the watch of fellow Republican Ronald Reagan? After all, Lindsey was on active duty in the US Air Force from 1982 to 1988. Granted, Lindsey spent his entire tour as a military lawyer in South Carolina, safely far behind the lines, but I'm certain they had television in South Carolina even then.
I suspect someone is running scared for re-election, and is quite prepared to harm the country to retain his cushy position.
The Boston Bombings: 8
Today is Sunday, 28 April 2013.
Rep. Mike Rogers (Republican, Michigan) is Chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Speaking to the Boston Herald, Rep. Rogers said: "There's going to be more arrests, I do believe. I hear a lot of definitive statements out there that it was just these two men and it's over, but I will tell you I hear these briefings every day and I don't think this is over."
If Rep. Rogers truly believes that members of a Boston Bombing Conspiracy are still at large, why is he giving them, in the most public manner possible, advance notice that they are being hunted? Why is Rep. Rogers using his high position of public trust and insider knowledge to provide aid and comfort to them? Why is Rep. Rogers coddling the murderers of Americans?
On whose side is Rep. Rogers?
The Boston Bombing: 7
Today is Friday, 26 April 2013.
Until this moment, at least, questions surrounding the role, if any, of Katherine Russell, widow of accused Boston Bomber Tamerlane Tsarnaev, have seemed relatively constrained. However, in the past day or so, the tone has often changed to, "How could she not have known what was going on?"
The answer seems simple to me.
For many male followers of "Islam," as for many male followers of "Christianity," every female is fundamentally a crotch. She is placed by "God" under the direct rule of her husband or, if unmarried, her most senior male relative; she has no right to command herself. Her purpose is to serve as a receptacle for satisfying her husband's sexual appetites, to pump out as many babies as possible, and to engage in such work and chores as he shall command. Sure, he should treat her with dignity, respect, and love, but that is entirely his choice; no matter how he treats her, he is still the tinpot god.
So, if hubby tells the bitch that what he's doing is no business of hers, that's it. She disobeys, and he may, indeed must, discipline her, in order to restore the "divine" balance. Such discipline may include beatings and rapes.
Such males, regardless of religious faith, resemble one another more than they would wish to admit. Their beliefs and practices toward females are pure evil, and must be eradicated.
The False 43
Today is Thursday, 25 April 2013.
The first Presidential election stolen by the Republican party was, fittingly, the Centennial Election of 1876. Rutherford (popularly known as "Rutherfraud") B. Hayes and the ruling Republican politburo bought the election from the formerly-treasonous South, in return for reversing the gains of Reconstruction, and allowing the Southern ruling politburo to institute a revised form of slavery, segregation, which I have named The Second Slavery.
The 2000 Presidential election was stolen through the agency of five Republican-controlled votes on the US Supreme Court, in the case styled Bush v. Gore. The Court recognized that the vote in certain Florida precincts (predominately non-white majority) had been tainted by vote suppression efforts and through outright fraud in ballot counting. However, the majority ignored this on spurious procedural grounds, and stole the Presidency for W. Bush, George.
Thus, the W. "Presidential" Library being dedicated today is not an artifact of a Presidency, but a monument to a malevolent political party, an evil personality, and their series of crimes.
In my writings on history, I've named W. Bush, George "The False 43."
The Boston Bombing: 6
Today is Wednesday, 24 April.
Republican members of the Senate and House are falling all over themselves, damning the FBI and CIA for supposedly acting insufficiently on information supplied to them by the Russian FSB (Federal Security Service). Given that the FSB is the direct successor to the infamous KGB of the USSR, the question is obvious: why are these Republicans so admiring of the brutal and murderous KGB of Soviet Communism?
Could it be that these Republicans are actually America-hating covert sympathizers with Communism?
How times have changed!
The Boston Bombing: 5
Today is Tuesday, 23 April 2013.
Why is such a big deal being made that Dzhokar Tsarnaev did "normal" things,such as going to school, etc., after the Bombings?
Was such a big deal made when Henry Kissinger, then National Security Adviser to Richard M. Nixon, after engineering the illegal terror bombings of Hanoi and Haiphong, and the illegal secret terror bombing of Cambodia, which so disrupted that society that it opened the way for the Khmer Rouge to seize power and embark on genocide, spent his spare time chasing skirts around DC and New York City?
I don't think so.

Hosea 8:7: "They have sown the wind; they shall reap the whirlwind."
While blind-sided by the Chechen connection, i'm not surprised. The USA, as any great power, continually and routinely employs violence in pursuit of its goals. And, given the far greater firepower deployed, far more innocents are killed. Apologists prefer the term "collateral damage," which sounds so accidental and antiseptic, but, in fact, if one detonates a bomb, one inherently takes responsibility for ALL the harm it does, intended or unintended.
If what the Boston Bombers did was murder and terrorism, what great powers, including the USA, do is murder and terrorism on a far greater scale.
None of it is justifiable.
The Boston Bombings: 3

I forgot to mention another salient reason to lean toward domestic far-right terrorism: Monday was Tax Day. These people have incredibly bullshit fantasies of a socially-atomised society which gives them (O, shades of a Welfare-Nanny State) all the perks to which they are accustomed, at no cost to them.
As always, deeply offended by appearances of Rudy Giuliani as an "expert." On 9-11, Giuliani spent the day ducking for cover. Since no phones worked, and the Emergency Command Post (ECP) had gone down with the Twin Towers, he fled to several points, before ending up at, I believe, the Police Academy.
Giuliani had directed that the ECP be located within walking distance of City Hall. It was only ever used for training drills, and for "drilling" of another kind: Rudy's many adulterous sexual trysts.
The Boston Bombings: 2
Today is Tuesday, 16 April 2013.
The Battles of Lexington and Concord, first of the American Revolution, were fought on 19 April 1775. In Massachusetts, they're celebrated on the 3rd Monday of April, which this year was yesterday. Many far-right extremists consider it their sworn duty to begin a Second American Revolution, and to cleanse, with guns and fire if necessary, the foulness which has overcome this nation.
These extremists utterly misunderstand the Second Amendment, and view it as a license to kill in defense of their ideology. Yea, a divine commandment to kill.
The final mile of the Boston Marathon was dedicated to the victims of the Newton Massacre. These extremists view such dedications as an assault on themselves.
Most of these extremists are, of course, blowhards lacking the guts to put their money where their mouth is. Unfortunately, some of them agree with Bismarck: "One cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs."
Alas: in such instances, people are the eggs.
Personal Note: On this date one year ago, I was transferred from hospital to a nursing home. The Doctors saw no reason to waste a valuable hospital bed on one who would be dead by the Fourth of July anyway. I respectfully declined their assumption.
The Boston Bombing
Today is Monday, 15 April 2013.
According to the latest media reports, the bombs which detonated at the Boston Marathon contained no trace of a sophisticated explosive, such as C-4. This inclines me to believe that they they were relatively crude, such as the ammonia nitrate bomb used by Tim McVeigh at the Murrah Federal Building in 1993.
That bomb was, of course, far larger, and meant to bring down a building. These bombs were too small to seriously damage a building, and filled with ball bearings, meaning their target was anti-personnel. They could be constructed by any reasonably intelligent person from plans found in US military manuals and on the Internet.
This leads me to the conclusion that the bomber (more likely) or bombers were probably extreme-right wing Americans: McVeigh, not Bin Laden.
A Modest Proposal ... for the Control of Firearms Violence in the United States of America
Today is Monday, 8 April 2013.
1. Every owner must register all firearms of any kind in a national governmental registry.
2. Failure to register any firearm is subject to a penalty of ten (10) years at hard labour, without parole. This applies to each firearm individually.
3. Each time someone dies of firearm violence, the national registry computer shall select, at random, ten thousand (10,000) registered firearm owners.
4. Each will be summarily executed without warning, where they stand, pour l'encouragement des autres, "for the encouragement of others."
5. Repeat as necessary.
Great Expectations?
Today is Friday, 5 April 2013.
According to media's yammering heads, who know better, in today's report on jobs created, the number created didn't "live up to expectations."
It's rather like a fast-food operation of the mind: "estimates" or "predictions" are averaged together to produce a "secret sauce," which is a consensus of "experts" (who surely couldn't be incorrect).
This isn't elementary arithmetic, wherein 2 plus 4 MUST always equal 4. This is a statistical art (in the sense that the finger paintings of a five-year-old are art.)
But Obama has Failed to Meet Expectations.
Listen to the Right: Lynch the bastard.
