Not much is being said about this, and it certainly hasn’t risen to the attention of the mainstream media – but…
How exactly did the Boston Marathon terrorists get their explosive material to make a bomb?
I took a bit of artistic liberty with Michael Ramirez’s excellent and poignant cartoon commentary to add a bit of truth. The “cowards” in this case sit in the US Congress.
You see – the explosive material for the bombs constructed by the Tsamaev brothers is commonly available in just about every gun store, and gun show in America.
Now in an America where Homeland Defense is busily putting cameras in just about every spot except up your ass – although if some Republican Senators have their way they will be able to shove them up women’s vaginas… Why is it harder to buy a joint of Marijuana than the tools to kill and maim dozens of your neighbors? (Speaking of – what the heck is the deal with the pot heads in Denver shooting up- instead of smoking – the joint?)
Don’t get me wrong, I haven’t turned into an advocate for drug use – but guns in America are now paraphernalia for addicts and drug dealers…. And mass killers.
And no sportsman, we aren’t talking about your trusty Remington shotgun here.
This is what I am talking about …
This is a one pound container of “gunpowder” (It’s not really “gunpowder” anymore, but it is the fuel which goes bang when you pull the trigger). It also comes in 8 lb packages. You see – there is a group of, in vast majority law abiding, shooters who like to make their own bullets. (And no – I don’t mean to pick on NORMA, as far as I know they are a perfectly law abiding company with no criminal connection, and there is no published evidence that their product was used in the Boston bombings). However – I can buy this “explosive” in many states he same way I can buy ammunition which already has been assembled containing it – cash and carry. Which apparently is exactly what the Boston Marathon terrorists did.
No – this isn’t C4 or SEMTEX or any of the vastly more powerful Military explosives used by international terrorists. Nor is it Ammonium Nitrate, previously featured in the Oklahoma City Bombing, currently starring in the leveling of an entire Texas town. But you walk into your local store and ask for a block of SEMTEX or C4, and there is a very good chance you will be invited to visit at your local Federal Law Enforcement Office, and get to met some swell FBI or ATF guys with a very limited sense of humor. Indeed – to purchase Ammonium Nitrate which is a common ingredient in many fertilizers requires a background check to make sure you are going to fertilize the fields instead of blow up a buildings.
Ergo in the NRA’s version of America (and 46 Senators), it’s easier to buy “gunpowder” than fertilizer.
So… The 46 azzwipes who voted down watered-down gun legislation are not only guilty of enabling the Newtown killer… But international terrorism via the Boston Marathon terrorists.
Do you really want to live in an America where you have to have armed guards so the kiddies can go to the playground and swing on the swing set?

I’m guessing that there were a lot of people in the Boston metro wishing that they were armed while the area was on lockdown, so this incident could work to the benefit of the pro-gun people.
Secondly every incident of “domestic terrorism” since 9/11 had a FBI connection, usually the entrapment of some dudes who didn’t know a cap pistol from a Glock. The FBI interviewed the older brother. Was this an entrapment which backfired?
At any rate it’s just a matter of time before these guys are connected to an al-Qaeda group, because that is how this has to play out for the American public to buy the next round of patriotic sacrifice.

No – it has come out pretty clearly that these were Lone Wolf bozos. That was pretty clear based on the explosive material they used. Search around a bit and you can find the plans for such a bomb at one of your local right wing websites.
And many of the folks in Boston are armed, as are about 80-100 million other Americans. Not sure what it would gain you though, other than to become the next George Zimmerman.
