What's the Ricin-Bombing Connection?

[taft2012]

It seems we the people are just supposed to accept the notion that the precise coinciding of the ricin and bombing attacks are purely coincidental.

Just like we were supposed to believe the timing of the 9/11 attack on the embassy in Benghazi was a coincidence, and that the attack was all about a YouTube video, and nothing to do with 9/11.

Now when the same government tells us that the ricin and bombing attacks occurring at precisely the same time is pure coincidence, we blindly accept it as fact?

They quickly arrested an Elvis impersonator for the ricin attacks to dispel any connections, and quietly dropped the charges against him a week later. The accompanying story was that the FBI suspects one of his neighbors framed him as part of an on-going neighborhood dispute.

Question: How many neighborhood disputes do you know of that escalated to the point of one neighbor framing another with ricin attacks on the White House? Does that make any sense? Does that seem plausible to anyone?

This isn't like the anthrax attacks of 2001, which began about a week after 9/11. The timing indicates these letters were in the mail timed arrive in precise conjunction with the marathon bombings. That being the case, then we're talking about a terrorist conspiracy that extends beyond the two brothers.

Where are the questions, where is the coverage? Without those we'll never get an answer.

Perhaps we have a need for closure on the issue to feel safe and comfortable. But I'm feeling neither safe nor comfortable right now because I have questions that are clearly being ducked by the government here, the same government that tried to comfort me before with a tale about a YouTube video.

Once again. fj, and the Rev demonstrate their need to prove immaturity doesn't matter for them as long as they have a Joint to increase their hunger for turds au gratin.

Somebody trolling out of turn get your panties in a bunch?

Here's the unfortunate reality: we don't know the truth, not really. For all we know the marathon bombs were even pressure cookers and all that was misinformation. The government does that for our protection; since having actual facts about how bombs are made is bad juju for public consumption. Although barely stable and unable to speak, the surviving bomber confirmed the type of bomb....of course he did. anything to confirm the belief that g-men are on the ball...that way we don't question them when they come a knocking and demand we leave our homes. Sorta like 3.4 oz of aerosols/liquids/gels on planes-- i know a retired bomb squad agent that said one of his training courses was to create a bomb using just that amount; and he did, and it could take a plane. But that's not for public consumption-- we just need to feel safer. Its about feeling safe and contingent upon this feeling is believing that they know best, see! You are so quick to talk shit about Obama and company, about how bad it is now, but its been like that for a long time. People can't handle the truth of how insecure we really are and government does well to protect an inflated sense of security. When they fail, which they do, it is of paramount importance that this is met with more "look what we're doing now...now your safe again!!!" Yeaaaaaa!!!!! Ya Right.

But "where's the coverage", REALLY? Such a discussion is so quickly assigned to the nutter pothead conservative lefty side that the ganja pic is a just a taste of the same medicine the OP dispenses without abandon. Touché FJ.

What we do know is that two serious terrorist attacks occurred virtually on the same date.

We're told they don't know who committed one of them, but assured that there's no connection between the two.

I understand that we tend not to think about things unless Glen Beck or Rachel Maddow tell us to.

However, all that being understood, there's a big dangly loose end hanging off the end of this thing.

Are you the pot or the kettle in this scenario?
