Was Tamerlan Tsarnaev a Double Agent Recruited by the FBI? Since 2001, the FBI has deployed thousands of sting operations in which "the government provides the plot, the means and the opportunity" for a terrorist act. Many things about the Marathon bombing this Spring point to this kind of explanation, including the strange behavior of one of the brothers in the year leading up to the bombing, and also the strange behavior of law enforcement authorities during and after the event.

The "Rape in Libya" story - Our Military's Latest Fairytale The past history of American wars tells us that, when the war-going begins to get tough, the professional p.r. campaigns get going, often with wholly invented stories. There is no reliable source for the new stories about Gaddafi and rape, and their timing is suspect. (How many readers of these pages would be surprised to learn that the US military is lying to us?)

Other preparations for martial law have been accumulating since the 1980s. The financial crisis of 2008 may be seen as the most recent in a chain of engineered crises that tied the hands of each incoming president since Kennedy in 1961.

This money has been used for decades to fund Pentagon and CIA black ops. One Federal Administration after another has declined to ratify international agreements that would tighten banking regulations, preventing laundered drug money from entering the US. Until this situation is cleaned up, the "War on Drugs" will be a charade.
