Conspiracy Theories Surround Boston Marathon Bombing

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Immediately after the terror attack in Boston at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, folks like Alex Jones jumped to the conclusion that the federal government, or more specifically, the Obama administration, was somehow behind the event.  Jones called it a "false flag operation."  Since then, Glenn Beck has joined the circus of cries that "the government did it."

Islam hates The West, and especially the United States.  They attack us because they hate us, and they hate us because of Islam, not because of our involvement in wars, or support for Israel.

As for the government conspiracies, understand that the last thing the Obama administration wanted was a terror attack against the U.S. by Muslims.  Not because they want us protected, but because such an attack goes against their agenda.  It sets them back.

The narrative has been that Obama's policies of peace, love and appeasement, and capturing Osama bin Laden, has made the Muslims love us, and the war against terror is over.  Attacks like Benghazi and Boston go against that narrative.  This does not mean they weren't willing to use the attacks for political purposes, because they have.  But why would they orchestrate such an attack if it goes against the narrative they are trying to put across?

That said, trust me, they would have loved it if the attacker was non-Muslim and non-liberal.

Interestingly enough, all of the terror attacks and shootings under Obama's watch has been by liberal left democrats, or Muslims.

Here's a list of the conspiracies floating around:

Obama Buries Boston Massacre Saudi Connection - Western Journalism (this one might have legs)

Beck Says He Has Proof There Is Government Coverup on Boston Bombing - Clash Daily

That all said, there is evidence that there may have been more people involved in the bombing:

Time will tell, but I will say that Islam is the key component, here.

Two Saturdays from now my guest on my KCAA radio program will be Walid Shoebat - and his theories will shock all of you.
