Total media blackout now under way on most likely suspects in Boston marathon bombing


Listen to Lieutenant Colonel Potter Please - YouTube
Claude,
Really? I thought better of you. I wasted the 19 minutes or so to watch that poor man ramble about his theories, and it is has the same weaknesses as all of Alex Jones' rants: No documented sources, no citations for the "information" provided. just wild speculation and unfounded allegations. I am willing to believe in a conspiracy, but not one the fails the test of even the smallest of critical thought.

It's like saying my dog is psychic. How do I know, because every time I think of beef jerky, he looks at me. This does not take into account that even when I am not thinking of beef jerky, he constantly looks at me, but I don't notice it. Now, I know my dog is not psychic. He is an idiot. Every time I come home, he gets so excited a kind of hysterical blindness ensues and he winds up running smack into a wall. This has been going on for 2 YEARS.

I'm pretty sure, though, my idiot dog knows that Alex Jones is nothing but a blithering opportunist.

Its really weird what America turned out to be: a nation of nuts. We are proud of living in the age of technology and communications. The result - a society of people living by rumors and in the shadow of endless conspiracies. I sometimes worry what is really in these folks minds, living like that in constant fear...

I really do think there is a death of critical thought among the majority of Americans these days. There is a reason why it is hard to convict someone in a court of law based upon circumstantial evidence.

The only thing that's been confirmed is that every time a tragedy occurs, idiots always slither out from under their rocks to crap out their utterly stupid conspiracy theories.

Seriously, people.

9-11... inside job.
Aurora.. inside job.
Newtown... inside job.
Texas fertilizer plant explosion... inside job.
Car accident down my street... inside job.
Boston marathon...

Do you idiots every come up with anything else?

I would rather live in a nation of hypervigilant patriots than a nation of baby killing, doped up, perpetually whining libs who just follow the sheeple in front. Seriously, should we really criticize people for questioning what they are told to believe? This is how holocausts are allowed to occur, and bloodthirsty dictators are allowed to gain power. Bet a lot of you would have been enthusiastically cheering Hitler on or praising "dear leader" if you lived in different times or different places.

We should criticize them for being idiots who believe things that obviously make no sense. There is nothing patriotic about being paranoid and having a low IQ.

If you people were intelligent, you should be getting suspicious of how it is possible that EVERY tragedy in the United States is apparently an "inside job"... much less what the point or benefit to the government is of such a ridiculous ploy. It's not even logical.

You people just have some psychological need to feel like you're somehow special from "the herd" every time this happens - like you're some kind of a gifted Sherlock Holmes who can see through the web of reality. Really, you guys just have way too much free time on your hands and an over-active imagination.

The #1 reason to doubt this particular conspiracy theory? It happened in BOSTON, folks.

Boston, home to numerous (mighty numerous), Kennedys. There is no way any left leaning lib is gonna risk killing, maiming, deafening, or even scaring a Kennedy.

OK, show me evidence of warnings by text, tweet, email or good old fashioned phone call to each and every Kennedy to stay clear of the marathon and I'll start to look at your theory.
