What Did DHS Know and When Did They Know It?

What you don’t know….

Original story from Red Statements

You don’t know it yet, and perhaps you never will, but I strongly suspect that DHS knew of a possible threat.  If you watch clips from the start of the race, there are a lot of cops with dogs.  You can even spot 2 men on top of buildings nearby.  There could have been many more of each.  Reports are now circulating, that the cops with the dogs were merely a training exercise and there was no need to panic or be scared.

This morning, I heard they also had dogs and men at the finish line.  I have been in Boston on Marathon day and I never noticed this type of security, of course in honesty it could have been there and I never noticed.  However, it still comes down to the announcements on the PA.  Why make the announcement?  Were there many more officers with dogs than you could see on film and people were getting antsy?

This is a question survivors should be asked.  Had there been a credible threat?  Another question, how is it that the news commentators in unison were ready to blame rightwing extremists?  Multiple sources on multiple outlets seemed to be prepared in their statements.  I find this curious.  I expected it from some but not nearly the amount that we heard from.

Now, understand, this is a big country, with millions of targets and even with ample warning, the attack may not have been avoidable.  What concerns me is if they did have a credible threat and didn’t take steps to protect the people, and in fact, reassured them not to pay attention.

One more thing I found troubling was that the person of interest now in custody was not caught by the massive security, but by a private citizen who noticed him acting suspiciously.  But I concede, I wasn’t there and don’t know the circumstances.

But if you remember my story just a week ago about DHS lessons to Colorado Sheriffs, and the assertions that Christians and right wing fanatics are most likely to commit acts of violence as sovereign citizens, ties in nicely to news reports and commentators speculation that right wingers and not terrorists from without are responsible.  DHS denied the charges but were quickly supported by their own memo from 2009.

True, DHS isn’t saying that, but their surrogates in the press certainly are.  And yesterday, David Axlerod, allegedly told the press that Obama, himself, has suggested the bombing was related to tax day.  In other words the Tea Party and other conservatives.  Can there be any question that what I recorded from that training session, as well as training given to the reservists in Pennsylvania and the tape I posted of a FEMA instructor going crazy about conservatives and the Founding fathers are all pieces in a giant puzzle?

If you are in law enforcement, the reserves or regular military, or part of the federal government, and you have proof this is going on, you have a duty to step forward and share what you know with the citizens of this country.  Trust in your country, but never in your government.
