% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


21st Century Wire says… As literally thousands of police and military-style personnel descend on Watertown today, in an attempt to apprehend one suspect to the Boston Bombings. This massive have told resident by authorities that these thousands of militarized police “will not leave the area until it is safe”. This by definition, is Martial Law. According to WBZ radio in Boston, the following are all happening today:

- Up to 9,000 law enforcement personnel are in Boston presently, to apprehend one suspect

- Dozens of SWAT Teams have been deployed

- Multiple bomb squads in play making ‘controlled detonations’ of suspect packages

- Teams of sniffer dogs have been deployed for house to house searches in the wider urban area

– Public transport has been shut down until further notice

- Use of Taxis restricted

- Access to hospital facilities have been restricted

- Banks are closed

- Major professional and sporting events all canceled

- Police have commandeered areas of town as staging areas

- Tanks have been deployed to Watertown as part of the police’s operation

Search for marathon bombing suspect locks down Watertown, surrounding communities

Boston Globe

WATERTOWN — As an army of heavily-armed police officers continued a door-to-door search in this community for a suspect in the deadly Boston Marathon terror bomb attacks, the FBI issued a description this afternoon of a vehicle the suspect might be driving.

The search of a 20-block area of this community adjacent to Boston comes after a chaotic, violent night in which a second suspect died in a firefight with police, and one police officer was killed and another was seriously wounded. It also comes as nearly a million people in Boston and surrounding towns have been asked to lock themselves in their homes — and only open up for police officers.

Colonel Timothy Alben, head of the State Police, said in a news conference shortly after 12:30 p.m. that there had been “no apprehension at this point,” but said the situation was changing moment by moment.

Local, state, and federal law enforcement officers, including the Secret Service, are undertaking a door-to-door search of the area in Watertown. K-9 teams, explosives experts, and SWAT officers are involved, said State Police spokesman David Procopio. Alben said the search was about 60 percent complete.

Authorities cannot rule out the possibility that the suspect is wearing an explosive vest, Procopio said.

Authorities are searching for Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, a government official told the Globe this morning. The dead suspect is his brother, a separate source said. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is a native of Kyrgyzstan, the Kyrgyz state news agency said. He was studying at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, university officials said.

Alben alerted the public that there would be a controlled explosion by bomb experts this afternoon on Norfolk Street in Cambridge, where the two brothers lived. The explosions would make it safer for investigators combing through the home, he said.

In Washington, President Obama was briefed this morning in the White House Situation Room on the events in Boston, the White House said. The latest developments spread shock and alarm through a city already rattled by the bombings on Monday afternoon at the Marathon finish line that killed three and wounded more than 170.

      Isn’t this where the liberty movement began for America? The Boston Tea Party was here and it started the ball rolling for our forefathers to break away from the tyrannical government of England. If Barry’s father was a British citizen as is reported on the birth certificate which he claimed in a national broadcast, then America is again under British rule.

      From Wikipedia:

      “The Tea Party was the culmination of a resistance movement throughout British America against the Tea Act, which had been passed by the British Parliament in 1773. Colonists objected to the Tea Act because they believed that it violated their rights as Englishmen to “No taxation without representation,” that is, be taxed only by their own elected representatives and not by a British parliament in which they were not represented. Protesters had successfully prevented the unloading of taxed tea in three other colonies, but in Boston, embattled Royal Governor Thomas Hutchinson refused to allow the tea to be returned to Britain.

      The Boston Tea Party was a key event in the growth of the American Revolution. Parliament responded in 1774 with the Coercive Acts, or Intolerable Acts, which, among other provisions, ended local self-government in Massachusetts and closed Boston’s commerce.”

      This looks like a gay Nazi-fest, I hope the people of Boston rise up and send
      theses bullies to Gitmo!!! While there they can read something called the Constitution
      and the Bill of Rights.

    • ICANSEE

      Just a preliminary exercise (like 911, Sandy Hook etc) to demonstrate HOW EASY IT IS to CONTROL the POPULATION. More to come in 2013 with TOTAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM COLLAPSE. ALL EVIDENCE TO DATE points to this as a False Frag/Flag TRAINING EXERCISE initiated by the NWO. HOPE I’M WRONG…but I doubt it. WAKE UP USA citizens and start asking PERTINENT questions and INSISTING on the TRUTHFUL ANSWERS.

      • rtmichigan

        Easy for them now, they don’t have a majority of people standing up to them.

        Boy will they be Surprised!!

        As a parent I can only imagine the shame and anguish the parents of these so-called police must be going through. Watching as their children attempt to terrorize innocent people.
        They must be hanging there heads in shame wondering how they could of raised such monsters.

      Pretty damn pathetic. Makes these forces look like the biggest
      bunch of sissies there ever was. One man, one gun against
      9000 police, swat teams, $400,000. humvies. Wow, that
      is progress! Way to go guys!

    • Rufus Juice

      the siege. its happening.

      “Pretty damn pathetic. Makes these forces look like the biggest
      bunch of sissies there ever was.”

      Absolutely – and if you wonder why America is hated and distrusted around the world? Bullying and deceit, interference in other countries’a affairs, displaying outrageous levels of blatant ignorance and bigotry. Makes me embarassed to be American. This is the only nation that is so far up its own ass that it swaggers around the world telling people how great it is. – and always has.

      Those pictures of the police cowards hiding in the bullet-proof tanks and pointing their guns every which way, at unarmed civilans look EXACTLY like the nazis invading Poland.
      One armed teenager versus thousands of bullet-proof idiots.
      Meanwhile the President says we’re not cowed by these attacks!!!?? Ridiculous!! Of course we are!
      Once again we display just how brave and how free people REALLY are in America.

      Scardy cats. All of this for a couple of dead people (no offence). I don’t remember the Bali bombings needing this much force to apprehend the perpetrators, and there was close to two hundred dead. It seems ironic that this much effort is going into finding one man, who did so little to so few when the truth is the current administration has no regard for the american citizen and wants them dead anyway – chem trails, gmo’s. Look at the bigger picture – get the people to focus on such a small act when in fact the real drill is locking down the city and gauging the citizens reactions to Martial Law. They will certainly be getting lots of information about how to go about imposing this on the whole nation. From little things, big things come. If you can get out of America, do so NOW, as quickly as you can. Don’t worry about not getting all your money, 70% is better than 0%, your possessions cannot save your life or your personal freedom. Every non traitorous american citizen is in their sights, you will not be exempt. Flee while you can, it is what other people do in other countries when they see war is coming. There is really nothing left to be fighting for, the constitution which has always protected you in the past is in tatters and you have a usurper sitting in the highest office. Save yourselves, or at least think of your family and your children’s future. There are still places in the world you can go and even if your life will not be as easy as it is now, at least you will be safe to breathe and think. Unless you are going to march on Washington and remove the current government, you are dead men walking. The choice is yours, choose life for yourselves and your loved ones, tyranny is a hard and bitter pill to swallow.

      Just off the top of my head, I’m wondering if this is a test by the US Government to see how far they can restrict the American Citizens and get away with it??????

      The people will quietly comply.
      The people will not rise up out of fear.

      The government is testing the waters to see how far they can push us before we push back.

      If nobody pushes back, this will escalate and spread further. Next month there will be a bombing in Chicago, in three months maybe another one in LA.

      Now come on:

      - Dozens of SWAT Teams have been deployed

      - Multiple bomb squads in play making ‘controlled detonations’ of suspect packages

      - Teams of sniffer dogs have been deployed for house to house searches in the wider urban area

      – Public transport has been shut down until further notice

      - Use of Taxis restricted

      - Access to hospital facilities have been restricted

      - Banks are closed

      - Major professional and sporting events all canceled

      - Police have commandeered areas of town as staging areas

      - Tanks have been deployed to Watertown as part of the police’s operation

      — Secret meetings with the Saudi Government?????

      The above does not sound like protective security measures to me. It sounds more like a invading fascist Government crack down.

      Y’all should read Naomi Wolf’s “The End of America” wherein she ticks off the stages in a dictatorship just like a to do list. Google Naomi Wolf’s speech on “The End of America” if you can’t get the book.

      Put down your ipods, your remotes, your romance novels and WTFU.

      If not for you for the sake of your precious children and grandchildren.

      The government is using fear and testing how far they can herd us by using fear as a motivator.

      The longer this goes on, the more I am in belief that this just didn’t happen by a couple nut cases. This sounds like a planned maneuver.

      Everytime there is a “drill” some kind of crazy carnage happens.

      Each year sees more and more restrictions upon the rights of the American Citizens.

      How far are the rest of you going to allow yourselves to be bullied, not protected, oppressed?

      Our rights, our freedoms and liberties once lost are rarely gained back.

      Unfortunately bloodshed is to freedom what water is to a garden.

      Freedom did not come free for our forefathers and we have allowed by our apathy most of our freedoms to be shredded.

      Again, (I believe in my heart) the Government allowed this to happen (problem) and created a reaction (fear, it’s always fear) and now they are offering a solution – MORE RESTRICTIONS ON CITIZENS BEING ABLE TO MOVE ABOUT FREELY.

      “We all have to reengage in an old-fashioned commitment to democratic action and believe once again in an old-fashioned notion of the Republic. We need you to help lead a democracy movement in America like the ones that have toppled repressive regimes overseas.

      We can’t, as a nation, switch on the metaphorical iPod and go for a run, somehow expecting a magical shift in the winds.” – Naomi Wolf (Page 140-141) “The End of America”.

      Do we have the guts our forefathers had?

      I had three ancestors that fought in the American Revolution (all three died) and two of my women ancestors were “Daughters of the American Revolution” (Patriots/USA side) against England.

      They walked the walk.

      Keyboarding is easy……………..protesting, including OWS was not easy – facing a bunch of cops with shields, clubs and 45′s strapped to their belt is scary. Facing five rows of men a foot taller than me with mean looking faces is even scarier but dam it I did it and I’m a old fart.

      Our votes no longer work, it’s a rigged, crooked system.

      Protesting doesn’t work because most people are too chicken shi* to not show up at work and march onto Washington.

      If 200 million folks marched into the Senate and Congress when they were in session (which is hardly ever) we might have a chance.

      I’m not saying to bring guns, pitchforks and homemade bombs – but dam y’all got to start showing you actually care about our freedoms and liberties being stolen out from under us or we will end up enslaved.

      Here’s a great training video for all you sheepal, and for anyone dumb enough to think its not coming to a home near you!!

      For those who cant watch the video:
      The police/military are clearing a house forcefully, lots of intimidation verbal demands, and no one is talking to the people, just talking at them.
