Dad of Boston bomb suspect’s friend writes Obama
Associated Press ^ | Dec 30, 2013 7:15 PM EST

The father of a Chechen man shot to death by authorities in Florida while being questioned in the Boston Marathon bombing investigation has written to President Barack Obama asking for help finding out what happened.

Abdulbaki Todashev wrote in a letter released Monday that son Ibragim Todashev knew dead marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, through boxing but had no connection to the bombing or any other crime.

He said his son voluntarily went to an FBI office in Orlando to speak with agents four times before they showed up at his apartment on May 22. He included photos of his son’s body with the letter and offered to travel to Washington, D.C., to speak to Obama directly. …

Got my thinking cap on, I do agree, something is stirring.

Before Art Bell got out of the country her kept talking about "the Quickening". He might have been on to something without knowing what. Sometimes a conspiracy theory is not a theory.

Put me on your list.

I know there was a drill planned that day. I suspect that the two Chechens were hired to place fake “bombs”, but a Saudi national well known to the Obama’s (he frequently visited the White House) tampered with those “bombs” and burned his hands. He was quickly deported out of the U.S.

“He was quickly deported out of the U.S.”

That is what we were led to believe without anyone actually saying it, but it wasn’t true. He was at the white hut less than a month later.
Some, including me, believe he is bin laden’s son.

You’re on, BTW.

Ain’t it funny? There was a drill planned the day of the Sandy Hook shooting too.

Another funny thing. Now the saudis have admitted to the Russians they control the chechens, and the Russians actually warned the admin about the boston bombing...which was ignored...maybe.

Here in Orlando where the shooting occured, there is not much news. The FBI changed their story. First they said he pulled a knife on them then said he didn't.
It is a shame but I don't trust our justice department. Eric Holder is still looking for evidence that George Zimmerman committed racial hate crime against the scum T. Martin.
Absolutely did not happen and Holder knows it, but will not drop it.

What, you don't trust the gubmint?

Anyone ever wonder why Timothy McVey got put to death so quickly? My guess is he DID NOT request such a hasty demise.

Seems NOT trusting the gubmint is appropriate.

Obama answered his letter;

Dear Father of Chechan Dude killed by FBI,

I am writing to let you know I fully investigated your son's death and have found it was caused by a YouTube Video that angered the FBI.

Sincerely, Barack Obama

Hey Dad, Holder is in charge of the Justice Department, and they do not have to answer to anyone, they are above the law. There is no grand jury, no investigation, they will tell you it’s a national security issue. Bottom line...dead men tell no tales. Benghazi, NSA scandal, IRS scandal, “fast and furious” and on and on......with a spineless opposition scared $#it to take on the tyrants.

It is simple coincidence that their uncle had high connections in the CIA...? Elder Tsarnaev was secular for long but very suddenly radicalized, right..? And the Russians warned us repeatedly about him, but apparently the FBI appeared unconcerned.

Why...?

In fact this ALL MAKES SENSE if you accept that elder Tsarnaev was a US ASSET WHO WENT ROGUE.

To be a credible plant he really has to scream the stupid Allah Akbar stuff with utter sincerity. To survive he has to mostly convince HIMSELF even.

In that context, of course some of them go native over to the other side.

After the blast the Fibbers were worried this buddy knew Tsarnaev was working for the FBI.

THAT is why they executed him —so they wouldn’t have another OkBomb disaster on their hands as they did with their undercover agent McVeigh.

Just to clarify: So you’re saying the elder Tsarnaev (Ruslan Tsarni) was originally a rather high-level CIA op, but pulled a John Brennan-like conversion to Islam (and began working with the Saudi’s?), which is when the Russians tried to warn Barry and Brennan a few times. So at the time of the bombing the elder Tsarnaev/Tsarni was a double-agent.

If i interpretated that right, I’m missing how this falls in line with the theory mentioned above that Mr Burnt-Hands — the apparent Saudi royalty (as evidenced by Michelle’s hospital visit and his WH excursions that they stupidly posted all over Facebook) — sabotaged the bombs to actually explode. Thus the 2 Tsarnaev kids related to the elder Tsarni would get the blame.

Both theories make sense, but unless elder Tsarni set up his nephews, I’m missing something. (I pinged several ppl because I don’t know who has kept up with this story. Obviously, I have not.)

This is from my notes on info gathered from various sources at the time:

May 17, 2013 - Two members of the FBI’s elite counterterrorism unit who arrested Dzhokhar died Friday while practicing how to quickly drop from a helicopter to a ship using a rope, the FBI announced Monday in a statement. The statement gave few details regarding the deaths of Special Agents Christopher Lorek (A&M grad) and Stephen Shaw other than they fell a great distance over water. The fall killed them rather than drowning. (probably not involved with arrest but 100 member unit was sent from Quantico to Boston to investigate other bombs).

May 21, 2013 – U.S. Rep. William Keating says Russia informed the FBI at some point about Ibragim A. Todashev. At 7:30 pm 6022 Peregrine Avenue, Windhover Condominiums on Kirkman Road near Conroy Road, Orlando, FL directly across the street from Univeral Studios. FBI interviewed Ibragim/Ibrahim A. Todashev (b. Sept. 22, 1985, 27, Chechen born, connections with radical Chechen rebels, US citizenship, previously of the Chechnyan community in Boston and drove a Mercedes) and Khusn Taramov (22, from Chechnya and previously of Boston, he and Todashev knew each other in Checnya and came to US together) at an Orlando, FL apartment for 3 hours. Taramov left after an agent said they’d need Todashev a couple more hours. He told Taramov he was worried he was getting set up and would be killed so gave him his parent’s phone number in case he got arrested. He is not suspected in the Boston bombing but did confess to the slaying of Mess et al in Boston two years ago. When he was about to sign a confession, he became violent and pulled a knife at which time an agent shot and killed him early May, 22, 2013. The agent has non-life threatening injuries. Todashev, an MMA fighter, met Tamerlan several times in Boston while competing in mixed martial arts. Todashev had a plane ticket for May 21 to NY to Chechnya to spend a month with family that was bought before the bombings and the FBI wanted to question him before he left and was pressuring him not to leave so he cancelled the ticket. May 4, 2013, Todashev was arrested on aggravated assault charges after getting into a fight with a man at the Orlando Premuium Outlet mall over a parking space and released on May 5, 2013 on a $3,500 surety bond.

FBI agents came to the apartment complex and started questioning a few people of Chechnyan descent. “One day they started questioning us, next day after the bombing, not the bombing , after they found out the bombers were Chechnyans, and they started following us, watching us, they pretty much told the guy from his apartment and they start following us, watching us like everyday,” said Taramov. Said Todashev just gotten his green card (green card or citizenship?) and had spoken to Tamerlan a month before (a week before the bombing or just after?). Didn’t know Tamerlan in Chechnya. He’d also been to Boston to visit Tamerlan. Several Chechnyans in apartment complex claim they’re muslim but not radicals. In the last two months, neighbors reported unfamiliar cars and men walking around the complex and parking near the condo. She said the man used to sit in his white Mercedes and listen to music and give candy to kids. FBI sending a post-shooting incident review team from Washington. This may have been his girlfriend’s apartment. Todashev lived in a gated community in Kissimmee called Orlando Sun Village and had been in the US since 2006.

Sorry. Help me out then. You said:

What does that mean? Isn't "the elder Tsarnaev" (Ruslan Tsarni) the "uncle?"
