Just to be clear, I’m waiting to see what they do, not to hear what they say. What they do is real. What they say is unreliable.

The NYT article reports that an unnamed official sez he confessed orally and they interview was heading toward a written confession when he attacked the FBI agent.

Also from that NYT link:

Some advocates for the Chechen community have expressed concern that Russian intelligence officers might be steering the F.B.I. to target Chechens in the United States who are hostile to Russia but have nothing to do with terrorism.

From NYT:

Investigators said they initially believed Mr. Todashev had used a knife in the attack, but in the afternoon, they said that it was unclear what he was holding when he violently attacked an agent.

I’m not sure we can assume the detail of a confession is accurate. Not sure we can believe the detail about the knife either. The only detail we can be certain of, IMO, is that the guy is now dead.

The point is that there is deliberate attempt at misinformation to muddy the waters so we will be more accepting of the official narrative. SE suggests that we look at what happens after an incident to see what changes. There lies the truth.

When the details come in fast and furtious and they conflict, SE suggests that we can’t trust the info at all. Gotta wait.

Two out of three unnamed law enforcement officials agree…shooting victim did not have a knife.

Dude cancelled his ticket for a flight today(?) back to Chechnya.:

“He cancelled the tickets because, the FBI had been like, I don’t know, they’ve been pushing him, you know what I’m saying. They’ve been pushing him they say ‘don’t leave, don’t leave’ so he decided to stay. But we had a feeling, worst case scenario [...]

Did I miss that he had a knife? I haven’t followed every link here yet. Supposed to be working. *smirk* Anyway, lets see how much information we get about the incident. I bet if we get real, solid details with interviews or quotes from the agents involved, those agents most likely are not involved. If [...]

What if the FBI were not the bad guys here? I suspect they may be regular agents doing their job, investigating the bombings and triple murder trying to Interview a guy who who has seen his mates killed or arrested by the government. FBI shows up at his door…what’s he going to do? There are [...]

Anyone else starting to see a tie between the boxing and martial arts community and Anti -Russian insurgents (or Boston bombers, if you prefer)? The possible tie to drugs here reminds me of Sibel Edmonds (yes, again) description of CIA drug operations along with ties to terrorism in CA and the Caucasus. I’m a broken [...]

FBI statement on Boston questioning death:

As always, what authorities say is not nearly as important as what they actually do. That’s why I’m so interested in what happens next using the Boston bombing as a reason.

That’s a big splash if blood on the side of he boat. Dogs’ sense of smell doesn’t respect hoomans’ construction of a perimeter, so I think you are right. They would have smelled Dzhokhar bleeding in the boat.

Actually, the more I look a the heat images, it looks like Dzhokhar was lying on his left side in an extended fetal like position around some kind of box structure in he boat, so the manifesto surface probably was not the red panel side visible in most of the pictures.

Huh. Looks like the easiest place for Dzhokar to write his marker manifesto was covered in some kind of red or wood-like paneling. Unless he is left handed. Just an interesting fact to note.

Yes. That’s why I’m semi-obsessed with both Edmonds and Manning. If the government loathes them, I better find out what they are saying because there is probably something important there. Note that Edmonds hasn’t been arrested. I take hat to mean the government sees that her story is so spectacular that most people just won’t [...]

Good article. Two quotes stuck out to me:

Dr. David Schoenfeld said 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev was unconscious and had so many penetrating wounds when he arrived at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center early Friday tha t it isn’t clear which ones killed him ,

Penetrating wounds sounds like gunshot wounds, which is apparently what killed Tamerlan according to [...]
