What is certain is that the Tsarnaev brothers were not jihadis; only Murdoch gutter media addicts will swallow it. Just take a look at this jihadi website, quite well established, and fully representative of what is known as the Caucasus Emirate Islamic insurgency. They ask very good questions, for instance here. And they thoroughly debunk depicting the brothers as hardened jihadis.
The omniscient Craft
Few paramilitary outfits in the industrialized West are as sinister as the Craft. Craft was responsible for the drill. Its symbol is a skull not dissimilar to the Marvel character The Punisher. Its motto is a subtlety-shy: ''No matter what your mother told you, violence does solve problems." US corporate media simply vanished with any trace of Craft operatives swarming the marathon site; talk about a media blackout.
Alternative media though was not intimidated. Here one may find a conclusive treasure trove of photos showing Craft operatives at the marathon site, complete with combat wear, black backpacks, tactical gear, and even carrying a radiation detector. So how did the FBI react to it? By imposing an absolute blackout. Total photo censorship, as in ''other photos will not be deemed credible'' -- only photos and footage showing the Tsarnaev brothers. Craft is untouchable.
The problem is that everything touching Craft in this scenario is troubling. 1) Their invisibility -- corporate media sheepishly bowing to the FBI and never even mentioning them. 2) Their ''security'' expertise -- your army of mercenaries gets paid a fortune and all your hyper-trained tough guys loaded with high-tech gear cannot find a couple of amateur bombers. 3) The sinister possibility that this was a black ops produced by Craft.
If we stick to reality, not Marvel comics, all the Boston bombing evidence points to something very close to the modus operandi of that dodgy galaxy of al-Qaeda franchises. Based on the collected evidence of the brothers' history and behavior -- no military or sabotage background -- it also suggests they were not experienced enough to pull that off by themselves. But it's perfectly sensible to envisage a copycat al-Qaeda op then attributed to a couple of fall guys - something that Craft at least in theory could easily design.
So this is where a realistic scenario leads us: an FBI/Craft false flag op which, 1) may have gone terribly wrong, thus the necessity to find two sacrificial lambs in a matter of hours; or 2) the sinister possibility this was designed as a little entrapment game to produce the exact same results -- leading to further by now almost complete militarization of US civilian life.
The writing is on the (bloody) wall. The final vestiges of the rule of law are disappearing -- even as a bipartisan panel had found that George W Bush elite functionaries were all, indisputably, implicated in torture; and that torture was systematic, even though it never led to thwarting any terror plot.
Washington is about to join the glittering ranks of Mubarak-era Egypt, Bahrain and Uganda. As that nasty little piece of work, Senator Lindsay Graham, put it, now ''the homeland is the battlefield.'' And you're an enemy combatant if we say so.
