Boston Marathon contractors ID'd: MA National Guard WMD detection unit
The Washington Times Communities ^ | April 24, 2013 | Alan Jones

Posted on 04/24/2013 8:10:01 AM PDT by patriotgal1787

One 2013 Boston Marathon runner, University of Mobile Cross Country Coach Ali Stevenson, told NBC affiliate Local 15 that he has “never seen that level of security before.” A veteran of other major marathons, he added “Evidently, I don’t believe they were just having a training exercise … I think they must have had some sort of threat or suspicion called in.”

“We reviewed our procedures and coordinated, but did not have an exercise that day”, says LTC Meriwether. “We coordinate and practice with the FBI and other agencies all the time” she said. Asked if her CST unit had received any intelligence concerning a heightened risk of attack, she said “no, but if they knew about something they probably wouldn’t have told us.”

WHY THE EFF DO WE ALLOW PEOPLE ON THE 'TERRORIST WATCH LIST' TO EVEN LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY???? THAT IS EFFING EFFED UP BEYOND EFFING BELIEF, ARGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Congress needs to begin impeachment hearings for head of DHS and FBI, although 0bama would probably replace them with even worse leftist radicals.

This is the statement that concerns me most:

“Asked if her CST unit had received any intelligence concerning a heightened risk of attack, she said “no, but if they knew about something they probably wouldn’t have told us.”

Talk about a lack of coordination!

The enemy is you. They are trying to control you. Terrorism is the tool they use to control you.

He could be onto something I am just pointing out as other locals can attest to that Marathon Day in Boston has an increase in security, FBI, National Guard, State Police etc. ever since 2001. In fact I think I remember in 2002 the finish line was virtually in lock-down needing some kind of pass to get to the finish area.

I said very early on....that there had to be a lot of chatter....and I also said that this might have been a sting gone bad.

Did we get chatter from Russia?? and ignore it.

Something was certainly going on....because that's WHY people lie....to cover up. And orders come from the TOP and that means Obama.

Looks like any coverup in Obama's house is no big deal. But the stinkin' little Watergate breakin was an excuse to oust Nixon.

Yes, there were a bunch of guys people were pointing out that were all dressed the same and ear pieces and black back packs, just like him. They were Seals.

BTW, tyhe guys in the kaki pants, tan boots and black packs were from Craft Itn’l. They may have been training National Guardsmen, but the one wearing a seal symbol was not NG and the guy next to him wasn’t NG either.

And they were all looking around and UP...not at the ground....

Seems to me they were told to expect a sniper....

But in reality there were bombs placed on the ground....

I guess if they had all been told to look for a bomb in a backpack on the ground events would have turned out different.

Because those in authority want it that way, and after sanitization, plausible deniability.

That is a very cryptic reply. While I am concerned about the current administration and its tactics, I am not sure how “they” want to control me.

Please provide some more details.

Turn off the Television. Look for books about how our Constitution is being killed.

I understand that power is what all politicians want, but how does the event promote that agenda?

Do you mean the door-to-door searches were done to condition people to 4th amendment violations?

What other tactics, particular to the Marathon, are you speaking of?

My goal isn’t argument, but better understanding of your point of view.

The 2nd video gave me chills, as Boston, MA was stated. Please watch, it is a MUST SO.

Why, a year after 9/11, were the Tsarnaev’s admitted as refugees? What logic was there in admitting Chechens? The asylum scam has to be shut down. Permanently.
