Well said Fan.
I believe in conspiracies to a point. I would be a fool not to. But the idea that the Boston event was a massive conspiracy escapes me. It would have involved thousands of people and this is not possible in my mind.
Can you explain how that could work Fan?
Why would it need thousands of people? There were less than handful at the bomb site - go look at the images. There are like 20 people, 10 cops and a few runners involved. That is it. Many school shooter drills involve as many people.
See, this all depends on people not going to look at the source images.
Conspiracies are dead easy to keep secret. I can name you 20 top-secret projects that were never known about until 50 years after they were done, and those involved tens of thousands of people.
Just a s a for-instance, CIA drug smuggling - people STILL don't believe that happens, although it was eventually admitted. Gunwalking - happened for years and still happens in the middle east. No one would have known if not for a whistleblower. NSA spying. How many people did that involve? Half the freaking country are on the spook payroll. They all stayed quiet. Torture. Civilian deaths in Iraq. These are just the obvious examples.
I don't claim to be able to explain every little detail, but here is an exercise: find me one single picture of the post-bomb scene where you see shrapnel damage to any building, sign or post in the immediate vicinity.
