Obama Address on Boston Bombing: Americans Refuse To Be Terrorized

President Barack Obama spoke about the "resolve and resilience" of Boston during his weekly address on April 20. "On Monday, an act of terror wounded dozens and killed three innocent people at the Boston Marathon," Obama says in a video posted to the White House's YouTube page on Saturday. "But in the days since, the world has witnessed one sure and steadfast truth: Americans refuse to be terrorized." The hunt for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing, ended Friday night when authorities captured him in Watertown, Mass. Authorities say the suspect, along with his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, killed an MIT police officer, severely wounded another lawman and hurled explosives at police in a car chase and gun battle, the AP reports. Obama addressed the nation after Tsarnaev's capture on Friday night, thanking both authorities and Bostonians. "Tonight, our nation is in debt to the people of Boston," Obama said, thanking Boston residents as "citizens and partners" in the bombing investigation. All in all," Obama said, "this has been a tough week. But we have seen the character of our country once more."

FAMILY GUY Episode PREDICTS BOSTON MARATHON BOMBING - YouTube Tries to Censor Clip

UPDATE: YouTube has now censored a commentary video which merely pointed out that a recently broadcast episode of Family Guy contained scenes eerily similar to those that unfolded during the Boston Marathon attack. YouTube deleted the video claiming it contained, "spam," "scams" or "commercially deceptive content," when it contained none of these things. YouTube has also placed a strike against the host channel and threatened to delete it.

In addition, it is now being claimed that the whole issue is an "abhorrent hoax" merely because the two scenes from the same episode were spliced together. The fact that the episode depicted people being killed at the Boston Marathon, in addition to a separate clip which depicted two explosions, is not a hoax.

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane created a cartoon which made fun of terrorist bombings and depicted mutilated Boston Marathon runners, yet he is labeling people who merely talk about the episode as "abhorrent".

Tivo and others are now removing the episode from their systems, which is strange given that the episode is supposedly a "hoax" and doesn't exist, according to the media.

This underscores the fact that if they will censor a cartoon in the aftermath of a terrorist attack, they will censor anything -- including your right to merely talk about it.

An episode of the popular show Family Guy which was first aired less than a month ago eerily predicted aspects of the Boston Marathon attack, depicting the main character detonating two bombs in addition to winning the marathon by killing the rest of the participants.

The episode, named Turban Cowboy, centers around Peter becoming embroiled with terrorists who plan on blowing up bridges in Boston. The show aired on March 17, just under a month ago on the Fox network and has been repeated in recent days.

The image of Peter killing the Boston Marathon runners even shows blood and missing limbs, a chilling reminder of the very real scenes of carnage we saw yesterday.

One of the more tasteless hoaxes making the rounds in the wake of the bombing at the Boston Marathon revolves around a recent episode of Fox's Family Guy. "Turban Cowboy," which premiered in the U.S. on March 17, culminates with a scene depicting Peter Griffin accidentally blowing up a bridge by dialing a terrorist's cell phone. But in the video making the rounds online, the cell phone scene is placed immediately after an unrelated moment in the episode when Bob Costas, voicing himself, asks Peter how he won the Boston Marathon. Aside from the confusion prompted in people unaware that the clip is a hoax, it's drawn criticism from those involved with the show.

"The edited Family Guy clip currently circulating is abhorrent," creator Seth MacFarlane wrote on Twitter. "The event was a crime and a tragedy, and my thoughts are with the victims."

On Tuesday, Fox removed the episode from Fox.com and Hulu.com, a rep for the network confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.
Hours after it was debunked, Glenn Beck continued to beat the drum of a conspiracy theory that the Obama administration is deporting a Saudi national who was behind the tragic bombings at the Boston marathon.

The conspiracy theory arose when Steve Emerson, a guest on Fox News' Hannity, accused the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of preparing to deport a Saudi national "person of interest" in the bombings at the Boston marathon. Right-wing blogs like Glenn Beck's The Blaze, Breitbart.com, WND, and Infowars quickly latched on to the story, alleging President Obama wishes to cover up Saudi Arabian and Al Qaeda ties to the attack.

The myth pretends that a Saudi national who was hospitalized after sustaining injuries in the bombing -- initially reported to be a "person of interest," though he never was -- is the same man DHS is allegedly in the process of deporting for visa violations.

DHS soundly discredited the conspiracy theory this afternoon, explaining to CNN's Jake Tapper that the rumors are confusing two very different men.

Still, hours later, Beck continued to run with the debunked conspiracy on his television program, claiming his "sources" knew better (emphasis added):

PROOF! Boston Marathon Bombing is Staged Terror Attack

Unlike Oaklahoma City the FBI cannot confiscate all of the surveillance, cell phone, and thousands of cameras that were at the finish line of Boston Marathon. 4Chan posted dozens of photos showing Navy Seal or Private Security personnel carrying the same black back packs which are the same style backpacks showed in FBI photos. It's becoming crystal clear. Get these articles and this video out to everyone you know. Navy SEALs Spotted at Boston Marathon Wearing Suspicious Backpacks?

Max Igan ~ Boston Bombing Another Staged Terrorist Attack aimed at implementing Martial Law

Max Igan - Surviving the Matrix - April 19th, 2013 : Painting Mankind into a Corner

Terrorists in other countries are simply fighting back when they are attacked. They gain nothing by attacking on foreign soil and killing innocent people. Only those in power with something to gain invade other countries, and they need support, and a reason to do this. TPTB cannot simply say; "we want oil, or more money, we are going to attack Iran, or Iraq".

Michael Savage Attacks Obama's Empty Speech After Arrest of Boston Bomber, Talks Real Security

Radio Commentary by Michael Savage Aired on April 19, 2013

The suspected Boston Marathon bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was taken into custody this evening in Watertown, Massachusetts.This guy is a total patsy. MIT is mind control central, the younger brother involved the older brother, not the other way around! He then ran over his own brother while wounded to shut him up. Now that he is wounded and in the hospital, they will pump him full of drugs to remove the mind control side effects. Thus his short term memory will be wiped, rendering him incapable of remembering any specific details of the bombing plot, but also ensuring that he will be found guilty since he can’t fully defend himself. MK Ultra folks, it never went away, but has slowly been perfected via NIMH “studies” that have dual purpose.
