DeVos under Attack

As She Attempts to return the Rule of Law To Our Education System
Prepare for the Leftist Media Attack on DeVos

We feel the following reprint of a New York Post article deserves wider distribution.

Hats off to both Betsy DeVos and to NYP journalist Rich Lowry.

NY Post 31AUG2018 [comments.lowry@nationalreview.com]

A judicial process that doesn’t allow the accused to cross-examine his accuser or reliably see the evidence against him is a civil libertarian’s nightmare. It traduces every principle of fairness and is blatantly un-American.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos intends to remedy this abomination, but will be savaged by the Left for replacing just such a process with something more in keeping with our Constitutional legal norms.

The Education Department is preparing new rules that would roll back the monstrously unfair Obama-era requirements for how colleges handle sexual-assault and harassment allegations. It will be a significant advance for due process, which is almost as out of style on campus as free speech.




In one of its least defensible actions, the Obama Administration used its Office for Civil Rights to impose its preferred procedures for handling sexual-assault cases on all the universities in the country that receive federal funds; it did so via a 19-page “Dear Colleague” letter, in the name of Title IX, the provision in federal law prohibiting sexual discrimination in education.

Watch Closely as I Destroy the Constitution

The Obama process was terrible, blowing right past the Administrative Procedure Act, which requires public notice and comment before such rules go into effect.


And the substance was worse.


The letter reads as if it were written by inflamed activists who had no interest in balanced proceedings – and it was.



1) It required colleges to adopt a “preponderance of evidence” standard
rather than a “clear and convincing” standard.

2) It essentially forbade colleges from allowing the cross-examination of accusers.

3) It adopted a remarkably broad definition of sexual harassment to include “unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, nonverbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature.”

4) It also encouraged the use of a “single investigator-adjudicator system,”
i.e., a single person as investigator, judge and jury.

The Obama rules ignore central developments in 

Anglo-American justice that arose hundreds of years ago! 

 In their important book “The Campus Rape Frenzy” KC Johnson and Stuart Taylor Jr. describe how the rules often played out:

“Start with an alcohol-soaked set of facts that 

no state’s criminal law would consider sexual assault. 

Add an incomplete ‘investigation,’ unfair procedures, and a 

disciplinary panel uninterested in evidence of innocence. 

Stir in a “de facto” presumption of guilt based on misguided 

Obama Administration dictates, ideological zeal, and fear of bad publicity.” 

The result inevitably, has been horrific miscarriages of justice.

Everyone should want perpetrators of sexual assault to be punished — and in the criminal-justice system, not just by colleges — but elementary protections for the accused cannot be discarded in the process.

One reason the Obama rules were so lopsided is that they were crafted in an atmosphere of moral panic – assuming a spiraling epidemic of sexual assault on campus.



To the contrary, Taylor and Johnson note that sexual assaults of female college students
had dropped by more than 50% between 1997 and 2013,

-- and that young women in college are less likely to be assaulted than those who are not in college. 






The Obama rules have been battered in the courts, where due process is still taken seriously.

A US District Court judge wrote in a 2016 ruling against Brandeis University:

 “If a college student is to be marked for life as a sexual predator, 

it is reasonable to require that he be provided a fair opportunity t

o defend himself and an impartial arbiter to make that decision. 

Put simply, a fair determination of the facts requires a fair process, 

not tilted to favor a particular outcome, and a fair and neutral fact-finder, 

not predisposed to reach a particular conclusion.” 

This is the animating spirit behind the DeVos changes.

 They are still being formulated, but a New York Times report suggests that they will correct the worst excesses of the Obama rules and interject fairness into proceedings that were, shamefully, designed to lack it.

Editorial Note:

Disbarred and prosecuted for
Criminal Actions as District Attorney

We have watched such legal abominations during the Obama years destroy the lives of college students who have been given no recourse to senseless and groundless allegations, with no rationale other than the accuser had just broken up with a boyfriend and wanted to see him suffer; or, in the case of a hooker in Durham, NC, claiming that she was assaulted by an entire LaCrosse Team --  a case elevated to and prosecuted in a local court, with the District Attorney later disbarred for concealing exculpatory evidence, to include DNA samples plus testimony by the hooker's associates who stated the hooker bragged to them that she had lied about the entire event -- she had only been hired to dance at a team victory party!

Under the Obama Administration, the Rule of Law was replaced by Political Hysteria!
We presume that the Left will use every extreme tact

IRS and Congressional Insider Trading?

Testimony on Congressman Collins Insider Trading

This blog post is an extract from a NY Post story by John Crudele.  

We've made a few edits to keep it short, but the basics are all included.  

We highly recommend you read the entire story at the link below.  

Crudele advises he was able to vet the Whistle-blower, 

and is satisfied the story is accurate.

For full story, click here
New York Post,  John Crudele [15AUG2018] 

Ever wonder how a Congressman or Senator [or IRS official]

who earns less than $200,000 per year, 

can have an annual income of several million dollars, 

and retire into a lifetime of extraordinary wealth?

John Crudele explains below:

The IRS reportedly tipped off members of Congress to corporate takeovers and other pending actions so the elected officials could profit from Insider Trading.  Allegedly, higher-level employees of the IRS also used that information to enrich themselves.

[Congressman Christopher Collins testified that an indicted Congressman talked others into buying a pharmaceutical stock and pushed legislation to help it; his son's girlfriend was just nailed on Insider Trading charges.]

Until a few years ago Members of Congress were not barred from trading stock based on information they got while performing their public duties. However, following scandalous headlines in 2012
[you remember, when the News Media was credible], the practice was officially banned.

Mrs Peter Strzok -
Deputy Director -  SEC Enforcement

Interestingly, a page left unturned in this scandal is the one in which the wife of Peter Strzok [Melissa Hodgman] is the Deputy Director of the Securities & Exchange Commission Enforcement Division.

One might guess that in addition to blocking investigations into Hillary Clinton's money laundering schemes, Melissa might also have blocked inquiries into Congressional Insider Trading in exchange for Congress supporting Strzok's illegal activities and ignoring the criminal activities of senior officials at the DOJ and FBI.

It was assumed that Members of Congress were just profiting from what they happened to learn while working on their Committees — e.g., perhaps a drug about to be turned down by the FDA,  or that a company was exploring to see how regulators would feel about a merger.

However, what the Whistleblower alleges goes well beyond that.
[ The Chris Collins story provides further details on Congressional Insider trading ]

Did the Whistleblower report his findings to "authorities"?
He did, but was told to "get lost".  Apparently Congress was making too much personal profit to have some reported blow their illegal enterprises.

[Ever wonder why no criminal charges were brought against Lois Lerner?]

Chief IRS Scoundrel
Unprosecuted Sacrificial Lamb

According to the the Whistleblower, the IRS made their own illegal operation "legal".
“In 2003-05 an official Memo was created within the IRS  noting who was permitted to participate in ‘insider trading’. The memo noted that all IRS employees in the executive branch and those one step below (territory managers, etc.) were permitted to participate. I was below that rank by one step, i.e., a large-case manager at the IRS.  However, as my evaluation showed, I was expected to inform my manager of any and all mergers.” 

In fact, the Whistleblower says he was fired for not doing so and was later the subject of retaliation. That was a lot of years ago. And the only people who could properly look into something like this — and hopefully determine that it couldn’t possibly be true — would be in the IRS Inspector General’s  [TIG] Office of the IRS. That’s who is supposed to investigate allegations of wrongdoing.

So, Crudele called the IRS Inspector General’s media contact, planning to give them the information, and perhaps the IG could convince the Whistleblower to come forward or obtain more details in exchange for Crudele's getting an exclusive on the story if the allegations were verified.

Crudele's exchange with the IG’s spokeswoman was unexpected:.

IG Spokeswoman:  “Concerning..?”

Crudele: "A tip from a reader of mine about IRS wrongdoing”

IG Spokeswoman: “We get those on a regular basis; tell the tipster to contact the IRS Hotline.

Crudele:  "The tipster doesn't wish to do that"

IG Spokeswoman:   “All complaints are taken very seriously.” 

Crudele:  “Is there an insider trading exemption for officials in the IRS?” 

IG Spokeswoman: [Crudele advised] she said there wasn’t such an exemption and sent him a brochure.
“Once again, thank you for contacting us. Let me know if we can help further”

Crudele:  “I’m amazed at the lack of cooperation I am getting from you” commented, criticizing her laziness before finishing with “have a nice weekend".

IG Spokeswoman: “On background, we sorry you feel that way. We are not lazy…just careful”

Mergers & Acquisitions
Insider Information = Big Bucks

Crudele continued the Whistle-blower's story [details were excluded to protect his identity]:

“So then one day I was informed of a merger between (two big companies), I was the Case Manager on that audit; I refused to inform my manager.  Well, that was a sad day for my career.  He (the manager) first produced a memo and then suspended me for failing to inform him of the merger so he could tell his supervisor.  It seemed that the supervisor had planned to pay off his home mortgage with the merger information to the tune of $1 million plus.” 

"There’s something you need to understand. The IRS places its workers permanently inside many companies where they continually receive privileged information while doing audits. So there’s plenty of money-making tips to go around.  In addition my supervisor had planned on informing his manager who then could contact members of Congress so they could invest and profit from this information,.  It was a way of securing a comfortable job on one of the boards like the Smithsonian once they retired.”

Crudele advises: 
Consider how many individuals could have had access to this information and profited while the average American is told that it is “illegal.” The Whistleblower says he was pushed out of the IRS in 2004 and charges — trumped-up ones, he says — were brought against him. But he wouldn’t be surprised if this insider trading continued.

According to the Whistle-blower:
“Unfortunately I doubt that this has stopped. One cannot allow this to take place and then suddenly end it.  These individuals had planned and budgeted for these events to fund their lifestyle. That type of income generator just does not end.  It’s always hard to take away perks from employees. Just try stopping the free coffee at your office."

“On a final note, which you may find of interest, my previous manager had assigned another manager to [a highly prized international] office for two years because she gave him numerous inside information tips."

Assuming Mr Crudele's story of IRS corruption alarms you, you will appreciate his parallel tale of Congressional Insider Trading based on confidential information presented in Committee Hearings.

Mr Trump's "Draining of the Swamp" comes none too soon, and it will create some soon-to-be impoverished Congressfolk who have lived large off their corrupt practices -- but will likely face prosecution and substantial legal bills this Fall.

----

Editorial Note:

We concur with Mr Crudele's story since we are somewhat aware that the IRS has not been pure as the driven snow; so, his tale of corruption comes as no surprise.   

We are also gratified for confirmation on just how corrupt our bureaucrats, and politicians [of both Parties] are, and how they've gotten wealthy through their corruption; it might also explain why we so much inaction on their part in pursuing the corruption of government bureaucrats and law enforcement officials.

During our post-IC career, one contractor told much the same story based on his consulting time with the IRS.  Among his lurid tales were IRS rooms full of tax returns which employees dutifully were flushing down toilets; and, then there was a unique scam the IRS operated in which they sent out a computerized letter advising taxpayers in the upper-six figure income range that they had underpaid by $800 to $1,800, correctly assuming that the victims would simply pay the extra rather than waste time reviewing their taxes or fighting the penalty. 
[We were one of those unsuspecting victims in 1997, and we paid the extra $800.]

We were also targeted by Lois Lerner's team, apparently purely out of spite since we have not been involved in a PAC, although we do admit to being a bit Conservative.  We fought back, threatening to bring the case public and to Congress during the Lerner hearings, and the IRS relented.

Finally, recognize that the IRS [and FBI] places their officers in US Embassies around the world, as part of the Country Team [Ambassador, CIA Station Chief, Defense, Political/Commercial, Economic, Agricultural Attache's] - each privy to sensitive Intelligence briefings on country and regional political and financial issues.  Officially, the IRS Advisor role is to ensure US citizens and companies operating abroad pay their taxes.  However, passing along sensitive Intelligence information to friends and supervisors is likely part of the abuse of the access the Whistleblower above has reported.

Boston Marathon Hoax? Or Financial Op!

So many anomalies and no investigative reporters

8 November 2023

Given the amount of False Flag Propaganda

in our News Media today, I am revisiting 

previous False Flag operations to pick 

them apart in professional analyses

to help you understand how the 

Deep State operates to instill

 FEAR and LOATHING!

I'll start with the Boston Bombing today and 

work through a few of these 

False Flag ops for you.

-----------------------

Dateline: 6 June 2020:

We are reposting this blog commentary in light of the latest attempts to create 

more chaos by Soros/Mossad activists.  We've watched a steady progression of 

staged Terrorist CRISES take place, with complicit 

Media and local government Press Releases.

It happened again with the George Floyd staged-death by a Crisis Actor videoed 

"killing poor George" [who actually died 30 years ago].  Today, that staged event 

is the basis for a mass protest at the White House, with organizers

 demanding the White House be STORMED.

The objective is to have innocents injured or killed so the public's outrage 

can be exploited still more..  You likely remember Boston; 

this 2013 blog reveals the scam that shook the nation, and 

set the stage for subsequent False Flags

and more demands for "Gun Control".

-------2015----------


This is a reposting of the original blog post from 2013 

as we update our analysis and assessment, and add some 

new factors which add to the questionable aspects of this

event, and add several financial factors we overlooked in 

the original analysis.  We've highlighted the new material 

and emphasized key issues in Red for your quick review.

We will review each of our posts on Mass Shootings and 

other horrors which are either False Flag, or, manipulations

of individuals under psychological or psychiatric care.

                                                                                    ---------

The more reports we read on the Boston Bombing, the less sense the Official reports make.
The "official" reports need to be consistent, but they are not.  

[Our next door neighbor was a participant in this "marathon, but saw no actual injured runners.]

Editorial Disclosure: 

We'll present our critique of this event in several segments from the personal experience standpoint of having been, in succession, an Army Sapper, an Intelligence Operative, an MI Special Agent with experience in [successful] counter-terrorist operations, commander of an MI unit which created and conducted Command Post and Counter-Terrorist training exercises with "role players", an investigator of national security issues, a strategic analyst at the Pentagon and the State Department, and, the Director of global Intelligence operations [DCS]. 

[Thus, we can dispense with petty sniping from those whose experience is based on X-Box games or having watched episodes of Keifer Sutherland's nonsense program "24".]

No Motive; Just Convenient Fall Guys

"The hoax" story line: 

The basic story of the Boston Bombing is that two Chechen young men emplaced two pressure cooker IEDs packed with ball bearings and nails near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.  

They then reportedly detonated the bombs, likely using remote controls with batteries, causing injuries to runners and bystanders, killing three. That scenario has now been expanded to claim the two perps were part of a 12-man "sleeper cell" 

[never subsequently proven or ever validated]

1) Photos from mounted cameras as well as bystanders showing the explosions and various suspicious characters were distributed to the Media and on the Internet. 

2) Photos showing the two "perps", one wearing a white baseball cap, were distributed in short order. 

3) Suspicious characters were detained and questioned; among them a Saudi national who was
    quickly released and shipped off to Ryadh.  Rumors now claim he was part of the "sleeper cell". 

 DHS Crisis Actors, Perps, Fall Guys ?

    a) Two persons of interest

        appeared to be Navy

        SEALs assigned to the

        Exercise.  

        

       The leaks may have been

       intended to make SEALs

       the fall guys.

 [Of note is the number of SEALs who have died mysteriously since their hit on Osama bin Laden]

 b)  DHS denied their nearby 

      simultaneous Exercise 

      included the Marathon.

c)  Spectators stated there were

     repeated Marathon

     announcements about a

     "Security Exercise" and

     they should not be concerned

     by bomb-sniffing dogs or 

     security personnel. 

[Notably, the bomb-sniffing dogs did not detect any bombs] 

Real bombs? Detonated later?

 d)  The Boston Globe

        tweeted to officials:

"There will be a controlled explosion opposite the library within one minute as 

part of bomb squad activities"

4) The perps, supposedly after months of meticulous planning and preparation, now, in the midst of a massive police, FBI, and DHS presence, rob, without motive, a convenience store in their own neighborhood where they are identifies as "known residents"?

            and,  

They inexplicably shoot/kill a campus police officer? 

drawing the attention of the entire Law Enforcement Community to them?    

5) The perps, who lived nearbv, reportedly then car-jack a vehicle, the owner of which states that he saw them "light a fuse" on a pressure cooker!  [after the bombing event!]

Deadly Firecrackers?

6) The police reportedly [according to our News Media] conduct a high speed chase, during which shots are fired, and the perps toss bombs out the vehicle window. 

 [Were those "cherry bomb" firecrackers?]

Cherry bombs range in size from 3/4 to 1.5 inches in diameter.

Police "shoot-out" with the perps
[no need to hide behind the vehicles during a shoot-out if everyone fires blanks]

7) The Police have a shoot-out with the perps, killing the older perp, 

     and wounding the younger one.

8) Audio of the shoot-out sounds like what one would hear on an Army shooting range; i.e., evenly spaced pistol shots, one at a time, followed by a rifle shot, then followed by dozens of weapons being fired simultaneously, as if every armed law enforcement officer felt compelled to empty his weapon!  

[At the Army shooting range, this was called the Magic Minute when all the remaining ammunition was fired at the end of the training period]

IR Photo of Perp hiding in Boston boat;
[it was the only boat surveilled] 

8)  The police discover the younger perp hiding in a covered boat parked in the backyard of a Boston citizen, 

Police discovered the wounded lad in the boat, although the perp was not visible, and there were no blood trails leading to the boat, or any reason the boat's owner would inspect the boat since he was supposedly out for a smoke.


[Once that anomaly had been pointed out, DHS quickly posted an InfraRed [IR] photo of a boat with a human form in it.  No confirmation that it was the perp or even the boat in question, but, it satisfied "inquiring minds".]

Now, let's look at the Pressure Cooker IEDs/bombs.

We'll return later to the overall scenario, which we liken to an amateurish [i.e., Sean Penn] Hollywood script rather than a realistic account of the event.  We'll examine the entire scenario piecemeal to highlight all the discrepancies in the "official" version of this latest "terrorist" event.

Of late, there is an official report that the perp's car-jacked a vehicle, and the owner stated that one of the perps "lit the fuse" on a pressure cooker.  If the pressure cooker bombs used timers and batteries for detonation, it likely would not make sense to "light a fuse" on such a device, unless the bombers wished to blow themselves up.  {The other question is "where would the fuse fit?]

It's possible the perp was lighting a fuse on a small IED [Improvised Explosive Device], e.g., CO2 cartridge with a drilled top; but, that would be tiny compared with a "pressure cooker" bomb; so, even a person completely ignorant of such things could tell the difference between a bomb the size of a small radish vs one the size of a pumpkin.  

But, such small IEDs would tie to the official accounts that the perps were tossing bombs out the window of the car during the high speed chase.  Or, maybe it was written into the script.

For the moment, let's address the 

pressure cooker IED issues:

Post explosion Pressure Cooker
[No Holes]

1) The recovered cooker was bent, but had no holes, large or small, which would be normal in a shrapnel producing IED container.

2) The lid of the cooker was found on top of a nearby building, indicating it was placed and detonated upright, which would indicate a blast throwing shrapnel outward and upward, not laterally, causing upper body injuries - at worst!  

Although, no such injuries were reported.

Claymore being positioned

3) To have caused the reported injuries, the actual blast would have been directional, as in a Claymore, which distributes shrapnel at ground level, inflicting damage on lower body extremities [i.e., legs].

Will this fit in your backpack?

4)  Cookers are too large to fit easily into backpacks.

5)  Backpacks stuffed with a cooker and left in place would be vulnerable to pedestrians kicking or tripping over them; or, possibly removal by event attendees, or petty thieves. 

New reports claim the perps placed the bombs only minutes before the detonations, whereas original reporting claimed the bombs had been pre-positioned hours before.

These instructions in al Qaeda magazine Inspire 
are drawn from the Anarchist's Cookbook produced in 1971
by William Powell of the Weather Underground,
led by Bill Ayers - Mr Obama's business partner in Chicago,
and a self-proclaimed terrorist.

20 Runners visible; No flag movement on right;
no officials or police injured; no shrapnel?  No head wounds!
But, hundreds were injured?

6) The flags in the photos indicate a tight explosive pattern, like a Claymore mine; 

a cooker would have created a more rounded effect with flags closest bent outward severely, while peripheral flags would show decreasing degrees of bending with distance from the blast.

NOTE: The flags on the right side of the photo show no movement.

Notably, the explosion blew the flags, but apparently no shrapnel; otherwise, the officials in yellow shirts near the blue barriers would have been ripped apart.  Instead, they're quite casual.  In total, at the time of the blast, there were only 20 visible runners [count them] 

who could have been injured or killed by the shrapnel blast.

Oddly, the official reports count three runners dead, and hundreds injured.

[Was there any shrapnel?  

How were "hundreds" injured if there were only 20 runners near the blast?  

And, 

why were no officials [yellow jackets] injured/killed?]

But, we digress; back to the official account of this amazing event.
One conclusion would be the placement of "cookers" to create smoke and noise, while, the actual IED would be a Claymore mine, easily packed into a backpack with multiple means of detonation.

The majority of those reportedly treated at nearby hospitals had wounds to the lower body/extremities, consistent with the directional Claymore, but, inconsistent with the pressure cooker IED.

We do not challenge the fact that this event occurred in some fashion, nor do we challenge the fact that the Chechens were involved in some way [more likely hired as "Crisis Actors" for the DHS].  Unfortunately, one perp is dead, the other is severely wounded and unavailable for comment or interrogation. 

Were the perps "role players"?

A scenario presented is that the Chechens were hired as part of the DHS security exercise, and so they expected to be rounded up as part of the exercise -- thus they wore distinctive white  baseball caps as an easy Exercise identifier, 

and the videos of the Perps placing bags near the finish line; 

and the carjacking of a witness 

    [who reportedly described in detail their plans to attack New York City before he was released].

[That would fit nicely into a training script for analysts to follow]

But, the main flaw [among so many] in the official story remains the pressure cooker; it is displayed as evidence but bears no validating signature [i.e., puncture holes from shrapnel], indicating it may have held explosives, but no shrapnel.

That would account for the vertical plumes of smoke; and it would tie to the Boston Globe's Tweet of an imminent "Exercise" bomb blast 

-- perhaps validating the theory these Chechens were hired as role players, or  set-up as fall guys. 

Arms Tech, Ltd  MM-1 Directional [Claymore] Mine

As to the reported injuries/deaths of runners and spectators, it would make sense to examine the lateral blast pattern of military Claymore mines as an explanation for all those lower body wounds on spectators and runners. 

So, where did those Claymores come from?

Military Claymores [8.5"x 5" x 1.5"] have an effective range of about 150 feet, but a smaller version [see photo] would be more likely.  This one is small [5" x 3" x 1.5"], weighing about two pounds - with about 400 steel balls.  Kill radius is about 50 feet with a swath of 16 feet, targeting the lower body.

But, the Claymore Mine, had one actually been used, would have explained the lower body injuries suffered by those reportedly maimed by the otherwise harmless [DHS Training] blast mentioned in the email

Most intriguing is the totally incongruous hold-up of a convenience store, the shooting of the campus police officer, and the car-jacking -- which suddenly recast the Chechens from role players to "perps" -- ending in a real shoot-out with law enforcement officers who presumed they were dealing with real terrorists.

The latest twist on this convoluted story is that the two Chechen youths were a part of a 12-man "sleeper cell".  So, now, the scenario has been created by which DHS can rationalize imposing national police powers in their regional -- or even national search for terrorists. There are precedents for such scenarios, particularly with the FBI.

There is also the Israeli Intelligence take on this event, claiming the Chechen brothers were double agents, trained by the FBI/DHS to penetrate al Qaeda terrorist cells -- but who were doubled by al Qaeda into carrying out an actual attack.  Something to consider, but we suspect there is considerable fiction wrapped provided by Mossad.

Could this be a prelude to suspensions of your rights as DHS invokes the provisions of the Patriot Act and the NDAA as they pursue "terrorists."  

This will not end well.


The official accounts continue to be anomalous; and so far, we can only assume this scenario was created as a Hollywood movie script, complete with role players -- and live victims.

We've retrieved some of the published material revealing Crisis Actors preparing for the "explosion" and subsequent to the explosion with the full make-up required for the news cameras.  There was a wealth of such information on the Internet not long after the bombing event, but much has been deleted by our Internet censors.  Here's a few that escaped censorship - although I suspect they will disappear soon enough.

Surgeons advise that, if this were an actual casualty,

[instead of a Crisis Actor amputee] 

his wounds would have bled out within 3 minutes since both arteries would have drained his entire blood supply.

Crisis Actors are in steady demand: 

Did George really die?  

Or, was this another staged event to defund the police?

UPDATE:

This is another attempt to update this blogpost with new material.

My previous attempt was mysteriously censored, eliminating the following material, 

which again is posted for your edification. [I'll address the censorship of 

G00GLE and Facebook in a future blog and invite closer scrutiny

 of both by [the next Trump era] federal authorities.

So, why am I re-examining this event which most experienced observers view as a hoax? 

Well, one of our more astute followers highlighted financially significant events which coincided with this news-consuming event. 

1) It seems [then] President Obama's henchmen were busy at work rewriting legislation, or rather, editing the legislation called the Stock Act [2012], removing these key restrictive elements:
  

   a)  Searchable, sortable disclosure of information contained in reports, even of Congress, 
        the President, the Vice President, Cabinet Officers, and Congress, to include the dates
        of such reports or transactions.

   b) Requirements for electronic filing for Congress, the President, the Vice President, the
       Cabinet, Congress, Congressional Candidates, 

        AND 

    c) High-level Executive and Congressional Branch employees/appointees.  

    d) Even the images of staffers' filing won't be available for viewing on the Internet or web sites.

What does this mean?

No Transparency or Watchdog accountability

Essentially, INSIDER INFORMATION employed by federal officials, elected or appointed, or employees, would no longer be transparent.  This class of The Swamp [or the Deep State] would be able to "play the Market" with full knowledge of an impending crisis [e.g., the Boston Marathon Bombing],  selling stocks ahead of the event knowing the Market would plummet, and then buy back their shares after the event at rock bottom prices.

So, what occurred on the day of the Boston Bombing?

1)  The DJ Industrial Average plummeted, finally rebounding with a Point Loss of only a 265. 

     Trading volume was up significantly before the Boston Bombing, followed by a selling spree

      after the bombing.  [Insider trading?]

2)  Gold and Silver prices plummeted to their lowest price since the 1980s.

3)  Boston Marathon bombing event:                 [ 15April 2013    2:49 PM]  

-- Obama  signed the Stock Act Reversal.   [15April 2013 -- 1:15 PM], 

    protecting all those Insider Traders.  

 There would be merit to subpoena the trading records of all DHS, FBI, Boston/Massachusetts officials, Senators, Congressional Reps, and those of Vice President Biden and President Obama in that time frame to determine who was involved in Insider Trading, based on fore-knowledge of the staged Marathon Marathon bombing.

While we're at it, examine the stock trading of Congress, the Bush Family (and associates), senior Defense/Military officers (e.g., MG Singlaub), the NYC Fire Chief, 

[In a crisis, always follow the money]
