And it showed where the top man’s loyalty lies.
Bush’s fault. Just ask Obama.
The glorious National Para-Police were ready to swing into action to save us from the generic unnamed terrorists in Boston!
(a) Early reports indicate Menino used strongarm tactics---and govt authority---to circumvent laws to aid and abet builders of the the Boston mosque the bombers attended.
(b) Massachusetts Gov Deval Patrick refused to divulge info WRT public assistance to the Tsarnaev's (on Obomba's orders?).
But state welfare officials were forced to b/c the info is available to lawmakers. State Rep David Linsky called on the Mass Dept of Transitional Assistance to provide the info..... issuing an ultimatum, giving them 24 hours to provide the info.
The Boston Herald published the state's response: 'My office is working to fully comply with your request,' DTA interim commissioner Stacey Monahan wrote, saying they were only providing a summary 'given the great interest in this matter.'
Chechen immigrants Tsarnaev parents were eligible as legal, non-citizen residents who claimed "asylum" status and met the eligibility criteria for DTA, DTA interim commissioner Stacey Monahan said in a letter to David Linsky, Chairman of the Mass House Post Audit and Oversight Committee.
On Thursday, multiple state agencies, at the prompting of Gov Patrick, refused to comment on the brothers' benefits.
<><> WRT Tamerlan receiving UI benefits, Labor dept spokesman Kevin Franck refused to comment....
<><> Univ of Mass-- Dartmouth spokesman Robert Connolly refused to comment on the financial aid app of 19 -year-old soph Dzhokhar. 'It is our position - and I believe the accepted position in higher education - that student records including academic records and financial records (including financial aid) cannot under federal law be released without a student’s consent.'
<><> The FCC would not discuss whether the suspected bombers had govt-paid cellphones.
<><> Cambridge housing officials would not comment on if the brothers had Section 8 rental subsidy offered by the HUD to low income households.

UPDATE Benefits for entire family of bombing suspects likely exceeded $100k
WCRB ^ | 4/29/2013 | By Janet Wu / FR Posted by Alistair Stratford IV
BOSTON — State lawmakers have launched an investigation into whether the suspects in the Boston bombings improperly received public benefits. The House Committee on Post Audit and Oversight is reviewing hundreds of documents collected from state agencies that may have provided benefits to the suspects or their families since 2002.
Sources who have seen the 500 pages of documents sent to the House Committee on Post Audit and Oversight told News Center 5 that the entire Tsarnaev family, including (1) the two bombing suspects' parents, (2) the two suspects themselves, (3) their sisters, (4) the widow of the suspect killed, and, (5) their child -- received "every conceivable public benefit available out there."

===================================================
$100K is the tip of the iceberg----the America-hating Tsarnaev's collected bigtime----rode the US gravy train using several identites. The bomber brothers' lavish style could not have been financed merely w/ welfare checks, food stamps, housing subsidies, etc etc etc.
A look at dead bomber Tamerlan's reading list on Amazon shows he researched several books WRT forging new identities (each identity pocketing US govt freebies).

AND...
AND...
When the terrorist was finally discovered by a guy tinkering with his boat and found to be unarmed...to avoid scrutiny the police floated the lie for two day that the terrorist WAS armed and had attempted suicide.
What if an inocent person or family had been negligently shot dead, what story would they float to keep people calm -serve the greater good.
If it’s permissible to lie to avoid scrutiny and call it maintaining calm or serving the greater good, you can do whatever you damn well please.
Welcome to Mexico.
At a secondary level are the pols, bureaucrats and administrators who *think* they're in charge and think they're actually serving the proles and doing a good thing by directing people to stay in doors, and demonstrating they'll use all the power and influence at their command to keep people safe, rights be damned. These people think that if they didn't dispatch armed swarms, they would be criticized for not doing enough.
The next level down are the footsoldiers. I'm guessing that the overwhelming majority of cops and National Guardsmen involved in this were there for the most altruistic of reasons...to get the bad guy. While those motivations are to be lauded, their willingness to "just follow orders," can be frightening when the motives of those actually giving the orders go unquestioned.
At the bottom are the compliant masses who felt safer when their streets were occupied and their homes were being searched.
All these strata are necessary for the initial imposition of tyranny, and sadly we have no shortage of folks willing to jump on board and fill their assigned roles.
Now that is an awsome visual.
One of the challenges faced by President Bush after September 11th was in suggesting how Americans should react.
If I'd been president in September, 2001, the United States would have put an abrupt end to global jihad against America, Israel, and western culture in general.
If you're too stupid to admit you're in a war, there's not much chance you'll win it.

SHE JUST GAVE THEM THEIR MIRANDA RIGHTS!!!!!
I just heard on Fox News - the same Judge Bowler who gave Miranda Rights to the terrorist bomber is presiding over the case of the 3 newly arrested scums that helped him.
SHE JUST GAVE THEM THEIR MIRANDA RIGHTS!!!!!
How much is enough, folks?
Get used to it, folks... IEDs are going to be a daily part of life in America, just as they are in other parts of the world. The enemy is inside the gates, now.
Great visual but if you designed that, fixing the spelling error in the top line will make it more effective. Well done.
It isn’t mine.
“If you’re too stupid to admit you’re in a war, there’s not much chance you’ll win it.”
