Two explosions at Boston marathon finish line

[Hunter]

Does anybody else find it disconcerting that Boston is essentially in a state of martial law, everybody in the entire city is basically under house arrest, and the military is storming every single house in the entire neighborhood without a warrant?
I'm not saying that the suspect isn't bad or that I don't want him to be found, but god damn.

Like someone else said, it's the "new normal" This is a conditioning exercise.

Yes.

And the internet won't let me connect to RT. >.<

This is bigger than 9-11, I mean 9-11 happened, it didnt effect everyone in the entire city AT THEIR HOMES, locked down, cops coming in to your house guns drawn etc, 9-11 was HORRIFIC dont get me wrong, but this,,,,this is an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FUCKING ANIMAL!

Odds! Percentages!

Call it, come on now.

What's the chance, in percentage that this is the new normal, versus any other hypothesis, the total of which is equal to 100%.

THE GENERAL IS NOW TAKING BETS LETS DO IT

Yes this is the new normal which means for anyone to bat a fucking eyelash after THIS it will have to be ONE UPPED, which means, well I am not even gonna say it but it has to do with boom and being unclean.

19 year old able to evade police maneuvers and stay at large for HOW many hours now? And MSM trying to portray him as the kid under the dead brother's tutelage? Doesn't smell right.

[General Patton]

Estimated 25,000 law enforcement personnel now involved in the manhunt in Boston,

Not too late to place those bets

Woke up from a nice, 10am-2pm nap to find he still hasn't been caught. Meh. Unafraid.

Here's some stuff I've posted on FB:

If we can endure this, what else could ever possibly scare us enough to convince us to sacrifice even one single civil liberty for the sake of feeling more secure? Nothing. #silverlinings

It would be kind of nice, though, if we didn't have to endure it for so long. He'll be caught by the summer, right? I was hoping to go sunbathing this year, if I can get in shape enough to go shirtless and not make people gag. Might even take a dip in the ocean, great white sharks be damned. What is a mere great white, compared to this Chechen supervillain?

I had stayed up all night and was long overdue for that nightly DMT trip called sleep, and four hours later I wake up and Rambo Bin Laden is still at large. Are you fucking kidding me? Look, it would be no new concession to police-state power for this nihilistic piece of shit to be tracked using umpteen of the countless different intelligence satellites orbiting the earth which can see our individual pores and our heat signatures and whatever else. So, why the fuck wasn't he tracked so, beginning 16 hours ago? What fucking use is the NSA or NRO or any other alphabet with a satellite, if it can't clandestinely track this scumbag and instead he continually slips through the most intensive law enforcement manhunt ever? Anyway, glad I got my beauty sleep. Fuck you, fear.

[Satellites are not magic, etc.]

But let's be real. What you and I know about how many satellites there are and what satellites are capable of doing is both obsolete and a fraction of what the deal really is. Even so, the heavens are teeming with them, dedicated to providing intel for exactly such a situation, and are equipped with technology that I and not even you could probably not imagine.

Just chatted with an upstairs neighbor. The other night, Tuesday night, trash night, in the course of tapping furiously on my tablet in between frantically peeking out the blinds at the slightest sound, I hear a car pull up in a spot no one who ever visits here would park. I see a dude jump out the passenger door, and the car immediately bang a U-ie on the narrow dirt road, and the dude walks swiftly toward the stairs leading to the neighbor's door, and I hear the neighbor who's outside smoking say something to him, and I figure he's her son, but then he goes a step past those stairs and up the driveway leading to my door, and in a single instant I fly to that door, grab a baseball bat on the way, and prepare to meet a stranger with bad intentions. When I get outside, though, and walk down the driveway and out into the narrow dirt road, dude is nowhere to be found. Given the paranoia coursing through my veins in general and especially after Monday, I figured it must've been nothing, that it was just her son, and he entered her door just as I was barreling outside. But today, without any prompting, my neighbor described a night when a dark black fancy car pulled into the street, parked weird, a young white guy with a seemingly localish accent popped out, started walking, she asked him who he was, because thank god she's just as paranoid as I am I guess, and he waved his hands apologetically and said he didn't mean to scare her, but he kept walking, which unnerved her, so she herself booked it inside and upstairs. She described the car to me, and the dude. Among the details, he seemed in his early-mid 20's, like I said localish, but the car was fancy, black and fabulous, magnificent rims. She may or may not have got the license. I can't remember. Anyway, wasn't her son, obviously. Might have been a drug dealer who got lost. Might have been an agent trying to set me up or worse. Might have been an agent coming to visit me for my sage intuitive advice or for information about my premonition. I have no fucking clue. But just in case, for future reference, my name is Paul Chandler. And I'm book-smart, and I'm street-smart, and I am unafraid.

p.s. Folks, speak for yourself. This is not even remotely fucking close to being as bad as 9/11.

Yes, I'm afraid we will look back on this one day and consider this child's play. They're turning up the heat now, but we've yet so feel "full boil".

About a month ago, someone told me to watch out for April 25...that they would freeze the banks for 2-3 weeks. I didn't take it all that seriously at the time, but, now, not so sure....I'm going to get some cash.

[norton ash]

General Patton, I'll take that 100-1 on Scooby knocking over the mastermind by accident and everyone having a good laugh.

Thanks for keeping your sense of humour... the best thing to counter with.

Doubled, I walk the street. Though we are no longer in the Commanders' compound, there are large houses here also. In front of one of them a Guardian is mowing the lawn. The lawns are tidy, the facades are gracious, in good repair; they're like the beautiful pictures they used to print in the magazines about homes and gardens and interior decoration. There is the same absence of people, the same air of being asleep. The street is almost like a museum, or a street in a model town constructed to show the way people used to live. As in those pictures, those museums, those model towns, there are no children.

This is the heart of Gilead, where the war cannot intrude except on television. Where the edges are we aren't sure, they vary, according to the attacks and counterattacks; but this is the center, where nothing moves. The Republic of Gilead, said Aunt Lydia, knows no bounds. Gilead is within you.

Doctors lived here once, lawyers, university professors. There are no lawyers anymore, and the university is closed.

Cheer up. This is 99.5% bark, 0.5% nibble.

(Once this shit's over, let's get a beer or a mojito or whatever. I need friends.)

19 year old able to evade police maneuvers and stay at large for HOW many hours now? And MSM trying to portray him as the kid under the dead brother's tutelage? Doesn't smell right.

When you consider what they're technologically capable of, NONE of this makes any sense at all. And, let's just say this is really happening as they say....what good are all of these agencies doing? Not only did they not prevent the bombs,... they can't even catch a freaking 19-year old. Come on. Since when is a city like Boston held hostage by a teenager and his slightly older brother?

I'm insulted that they think we're that stupid.
