Boston Globe Team Slaps the Turperntine on Obama's Terrorist Paint Job



Most of us have our priorities aligned with our gifts, our morals and our level education.  These days, those of us to go to work and pay the bills, as well as care for our families, neighbors and those unable to take care of themselves, are smacked in the puss with mackerel everytime we read a paper, watch the news, or listen to the radio.

If it is senseless, it is the most important thing in the world and if you disagree in slightest you are the meanest, stupidest, down-right miserable SOB drawing breath.

Here in Chicago, there is homicide and six times that number for daily news cycle.  Yesterday, morning a guy was shot about thirty feet from Leo High School. Actually, he was shot Monday night, but homicide shifts were still working when I came to work at 4:30 AM.  In fact, another kid was shot in spitting distance from Stately Obama Manor in Kenwood.  That lede is getting to soun like an Onion set-up. The press seems to believe that Kenwood neighborhood should be bullet proof, because President Obama got him a home there.  However, Chicago leaders are hard charging cigarettes, in the interest of protecting young people.

Illinois is broke and bleeding away taxpayers and businesses to Indiana, Wisconsin and Texas, but nothing is more important than passing a State law that gives gays no more rights than already provided by civil union, but destroys the meaning of marriage. Well, the heart wants what the heart wants and that is our most sacred of  Civil Rights.  Emmet Till died so Greg Harris could marry his boyfriend in a Gay compliant church wedding, rent a BB in Amish Arcola for honeymoon and then sue the shit out of the owners, when the manly couple is refused a wedding suite.

Nationally. . .I'll stick to the Obama White House and its media cheerleaders turning terrorists into Father Flanagan's Boys.  Language is considered much more explosive than Dutch oven bombs.  Skin tone more important the maiming and murder of American citizens. No biggie! On to funding abortion and taxing the internet!

If a forensic accountant could have access to the financial and phone records of the Brothers Tzarnaev - the funding, the training, the indoctrination, the travels and the plans of these two monsters would be know immediately.

Like the Benghazi Balls UP, people died for no good reason and when they did an idiotic excuse was spun like fools gold; denial; misdirection; and finally Hillary Clinton's moronic " What does it Matter????"

Plenty.

Chris Matthews, a major Obama scholar and world class nitwit shouted the same thing about the Brothers Czarnaev.

The Obama paint job applied so thickly by Justice, State, Defense and Homeland Security on Islamist Terror since 2008 is getting roller pan full of turpentine slathered by the crew at The Boston Globe.

Like Major Nidal's One Man Jihad at Fort Hood inspired President Drone's folks to declare it to be a workplace accident, the Boston Terror Bombing has been treated as The Adventures of Excitable Boys with  a Desk-Top! Jay Carney, Folks!

"They found no derogatory information, terrorist activity, domestic or foreign," said White House spokesman Jay Carney during his daily press briefing

Once again, It's all good!

Obama is leashed by the notion that Wahhabist inspired, funded, evolved, aimed at cocked at the heart of civilized people is merely the rantings of loose-tooth rubes and racist plutocrats. Perhaps the Boston Globe investigative team will free our President of those hackles.:

WASHINGTON — Russian authorities contacted the US government with concerns about Tamerlan Tsarnaev not once but “multiple’’ times, including an alert it sent after he was first investigated by FBI agents in Boston, raising new questions about whether the FBI should have paid more attention to the suspected Boston Marathon bomber, US senators briefed on the inves­tigation said Tuesday.
The FBI has previously said it interviewed Tsarnaev in early 2011 after it was initially contacted by the ­Russians. In their review, completed in summer 2011, the bureau found no ­evidence that Tsarnaev was a threat. “The FBI requested but did not receive more specific or additional information from” Russia, the agency said last week. . . .


Warnings raised by Russia have loomed large in the investigation of how Tsarnaev, a ­Kyrgyzstan national, and his younger brother, Dzhokhar, a naturalized US citizen, allegedly prepared for the bombing.
“I think the increasing signals are that these are individuals that were radicalized, especially the older brother, over a period of time,’’ Senator Marco Rubio, Republican of Florida, said after the briefing. He said the brothers “used Internet sources to gain not just the philosophical beliefs that radicalized them, but also learning components of how to do these sorts of things.”
US officials have faced tough questions for not tracking the older brother’s travels to the Russian provinces of Dagestan and Chechnya, where he spent more than half of 2012 and may have interacted with militant groups or individuals.
Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, said Monday that the FBI told him it was not aware of the older Tsarnaev’s travels because his name had been misspelled on an airliner passenger list. US Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano confirmed the misspelling during a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday, but she said Homeland Security nonetheless was aware of his trip.
“Even with the misspelling under our current system, there are redundancies, and so the system did ping when he was leaving the United States,” she said.


The Russian stuff, immediately sparked the patented Obama denials, the moves on, the what does it matters 

The Russian stuff is the turpentine to the paint job, I believe.

The Russian stuff, if followed and not bollocks'd up by GOP Congressmen who never controlled the Benghazi inquiry, may remove the Obama paint job on the war on Islamist Terror.

God will it will reveal the Saudi Wahhabi fingerprints that are only noticeable to people who have their priorities straight, their bills paid and lives lived with happy purpose.

Why Print Journalism Needs to Survive - Boston Globe's Kevin Cullen and Marthon Terror Bombing

Boston Police officers stood near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Tuesday morning.
 Boston cops at the Finish Line on Boylston Street. Kevin Cullen of the  Boston Globe respects cops - you tell by his writing
"This is how bad this is. I went out Monday night and bumped into some firefighters I know. They said one of the dead was an 8-year-old boy from Dorchester who had gone out to hug his dad after he crossed the finish line. The dad walked on; the boy went back to the sidewalk to join his mom and his little sister. And then the bomb went off. The boy was killed. His sister’s leg was blown off. His mother was badly injured. That’s just one ­family, one story." 
Kevin Cullen, The Boston Globe

Television news is a sick joke.  Print media is not much better,  Radio still provides . . . news.  The computer as well and I am damned if I will go to the phone, the Pad, or whatever the techno-geek billionaires crank out.

There are good writers waste deep in the swamp that was once a stream of facts, opinion and entertainment.  There are writers like Steve Rhodes, Dennis Byrne, Caroline Connors, Steve Metsch, Rick Morrisey, Mike Mulligan, Natasha Korecki, Tim Novak, Dan Mihiapolus, Mark Konkol and the iconoclastic John Kass still writing with grace and skill. Politically, they are as different as the as the cast of Rawhide.

Years ago, I got to be pals with Brian McGrory of the Globe and he wrote the intro to my history of Leo High School.  Brian is a terrific writer, but saddled with onerous task of Managing Editor and more importantly a fine human being.

The Boston Globe's Kevin Cullen is a writer.  Today, in a few paragraphs, Cullen gives a tutorial in journalism.  He has the facts at his feet and his finger tips, but he does not rattle off a staccato shower of nouns like a Nazi Death Camp accountant, or EJ Dionne.

Cullen goes for the heart the head and the humanity of the reader without intruding himself over the narrative, like Geraldo Rivera or our President.

This is a fine example of just what I am talking about -


In an instant, so many lives changed. Some ended. The telephone lines burned. Everybody was trying to figure out who and why. The cops I talked to were shaking their heads. It could be anybody. Could be foreign. Could be domestic. Could be Al Qaeda. Could be home-grown nuts.
It was Patriots Day. It was tax day. It was Israel’s independence day. Theories swirled like the smoke above Boylston Street. Friday marks the 20th anniversary of the FBI assault on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, and the 18th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing.
Then there was the story about the young Saudi guy who was being questioned by the FBI. Now, the FBI wouldn’t tell me if my pants were on fire, but my old pal John Miller from CBS News reported that the kid did a runner after the explosion and that somebody tackled him and held him for the police. Miller used to be an associate director at the FBI, and let’s just say his sources there are impeccable. Miller says the Saudi guy was cooperative and denied he had anything to do with the bombing. He says he took off because, like everybody else in the Back Bay, he was terrified. A law enforcement source later told me that Miller’s story is right on the money.
I saw Lisa Hughes from WBZ-TV trying to do her job, amid the blood and the body parts. And then I remembered that Lisa, who is as nice a person as you’ll find in this business, married a guy from Wellesley named Mike Casey who lost his wife Neilie on one of the planes out of Boston that crashed into the Twin Towers. And then I tried not to cry and just marveled at how professional Lisa was.

Unlike our homegrown TV nitwits ( Andy Shaw  and Chuck Goudie always comes to mind),  Kevin Cullen places the spotlight on the people the reader should learn about and care about and not what an Andy or an EJ, or a Chuck think about anything.

As TV is swamped with ninnies, let's pray that print media can once again feature writers who are also good people. Journalism can and should work that way.
