“Other photos will not be deemed credible”

The FBI has attempted to blacklist photos which show men working for a private military organization wearing heavy backpacks and appearing to take part in a drill at the Boston Marathon, instead focusing on two other individuals while proclaiming, “other photos will not be deemed credible.”

As Infowars has documented over the last two days, photos taken from the scene of the blast show numerous individuals wearing identical clothing while carrying heavy black backpacks, talking into cellphones and in one case placing one of the backpacks on the ground.

Infowars reporter Dan Bidondi was at the FBI press conference and attempted to get questions answered about bomb drills that eyewitnesses said were taking place on the morning of the marathon, but was ignored and subsequently confronted by two large men at the end of the conference.

In not only ignoring but aggressively attempting to discredit the photos showing men who are likely employees of the private security firm Craft International on the scene of the bombings engaged in some kind of drill, the FBI has signaled its intention to continue the cover-up of what really happened.

View the photos the FBI says are “not credible” and refuses to even address below.

    Ok just a quick note. After reading these comments, I just had to write one myself. Let me give you a scenario: Lets say I’m a school teacher who has dedicated his life to teach children for 30 years of my life. Imagine that one day I lose my job, my family and my home all in that same day. Let’s say I am pissed beyond belief and I want my revenge. Since I don’t need a background check to purchase certain weapons, I buy an assault rifle. I kill my cheating ex-wife, my kids, and a cafeteria full of children at the school where I used to teach. I know that somehow a theory would be made about me and based on the evidence shown on this page and the ones not shown to the World, this guy will get people to believe it over the media. The bottom line is that there are different possibilities to a crime as big as the one shown here, but the reality is that I did it because of how i felt at the time. This has nothing to do with the Gov’t or gun banning laws, this is just me. Ppl who knew me would say “he was a great father” and my mom might say “I was set up”. My mom loves me and will defend me even if I was caught red-handed. The point of this story is that people will believe ONLY what they want to believe regardless of evidence or lack there of. Imagine if Barack brought an alien to the podium in a press conference or if the Gov’t landed a UFO at the Super Bowl. Better yet, Imagine if those men dressed in uniform yelled “THERE IS A BOMB SOMEWHERE PLANTED IN SOMETHING BUT WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE! EVERYBODY RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!” at the crowd. U would have panic, pandemonium and chaos. It is all about control as sick as that may sound. U can’t call us SHEEPLE if u yourselves on following this SHEPPARD. Just separate the facts from the lies yourself and if the facts shown before u add up, then it is what it is and not what it seems.

    P.S. I LOVE CHILDREN AND THIS WAS JUST A FICTIONAL SCENARIO TO SHOW HOW HUMAN OPINIONS CAN TWIST AND BEND THE TRUTH. :)

    Navy seals are amongst the most educated, and patriotic groups for forces there is. It is ludicrous to even suggest that someone (anyone!) could even attempt to give them an order to commit a raw act of terrorism against innocent American civilians and expect that they would carry out such a request, or even be involved in it without blowing the whistle! And that goes for all other law enforcement officials that serve the American public as well! Get real people!

    okay, what if this isn’t as complicated as all that. or just in a different way.
    what if the seal presence carrying what appear to really be handheld geiger counters was simply response to knowledge of a potential threat? It could mean that they really did have knowledge of such and covered it up, yes. But what if the threat came with terms. Like, if the race was delayed/cancelled, if anyone was warned or the area was cleared then they’d detonate their explosives. WHAT IF? It’s completely possible given the information at hand. And they’re carrying geiger counters, radiation detectors, which means they were searching for a possible threat much MUCH MUCH worse than some backpack bombs. Seriously, WHAT IF??? The presence of the geiger counters shows they were searching for something. The plentitude of seals means a freagin lot of people were searching for something. I’m just saying, it might not be exactly what AJ is saying here.

    Ohhhh….there were Navy Seals and other law enforcements officers in attendance?? THAT’S CALLED SECURITY. Don’t be ridiculous.

      Really and there was also a drill before the event even happened. With all the so called security and drills why didn’t they find anything and why did they allow anyone to bring backpacks in the first place. Maybe they should start telling the public no back packs at large events. It’s really sad that Americans can’t go to the airport for a trip without being searched and touched all over our bodies and still there is another terrorist attack. Maybe the government should stop importing these people from countries and back rounds or beliefs that hate America and her people.

        I have ran several marathons, in Chicago! They had drills everyday before the marathon, so if something like this happens, they know what to do! The hospital where I work has different drills, it’s called being prepared!! As far as the back packs, you are using the comment made about Israel, not allowed to carry back packs at large events! I know all to well about your info-wars propaganda, I live in Austin, Texas where Alex Jones produces his show!! The Black ops emblem on the hats, are he same on a hat I have that I received when I bought the game!! If the FBI is faking the photos as you say, how do we know your not doing the same!!

    they are probably ignoring them because they are either FBI or undercover boston PD, look at the photo of them assembled after the blast at the rear of the police command vehicle. it looks like they are taking orders from the older man in the tan hat. if they were supposed to be a crack spec ops unit carrying out a bombing, why would they be dressed in the most obviously gov uniforms. the matching boots, the pants, the jackets, walkie talkies and earpieces, the access passes/credentials around their necks. these guys were obviously either police of government. but to imply that they were the bombers and they were supposedly a group of navy seals(guys that grow beards and wear local clothes to blend in with afghans) that werent smart enough to dress like a normal person and blend in at a sporting event is ridiculous. i think that if any thing is being covered up in this investigation, its that this crack team had intel on a bomb threat and was trying to intercept, but failed. if anything, thats the scoop.

    • Food4Thought says:

      Despite it’s well meaning intentions to expose and conspire, this article is very flawed. Upon doing my fair share of googling, I noted that the skull logo on the hats can be linked to the National Guard Civil Support teams. It’s quite obvious that these men were undercover, and failed to deprive of the means of attack or defense, hence my agreeing with you on the notion that “discussing” their failed attempt at intercepting is pretty much taboo to the FBI/Military/etc. Why would the National Guard want to publicly admit that they failed to do their job properly (keeping the public safe against bomb threats/etc) it would only upset the masses further. Frankly, what upsets me is that even when there is a potential threat that is being kept from the public at events like these, the authorities find it much more reasonable to NOT just cancel said events. In my humble opinion, if they had taken the precautions and canceled this event it would have helped avoid utter chaos and the loss of innocent lives. In the end we can speculate all we want, but will never truly know the in depth truth about these things. People should always be a filter regarding media coverage, conspiracy theories, and what authorities or the gov’t informs you about, because it’s all within the context. Don’t be so quick to over analyze and think you got this figured out. Sorry to break your bubble, but you seriously don’t. In the end this article’s argument narrows down to a matter of opinion. Don’t believe everything you read or hear from the media or conspiracists alike. Be a filter, and don’t be so quick to channel this garbage by speculating on something that no amount of research will get you inside scoop on.

    The two military men the article mentions, they’re members of the National Guard Civil Support Team. There were way more than two of them there, and they’re at EVERY major event where the threat of a bombing is possible. Them being there isn’t suspicious, as a matter of fact, their presence at every major event is so common, that them NOT being there would have been suspicious.

    This is all well and good except for two glaringly obvious facts.
    1)The eighth photo down, the guy still has his backpack and this is AFTER the blast, as the surrounding detritus of the aftermath shows
    2)Jeff Bauman, the victim who lost both his legs got a clear look at the man who placed the backpack at his feet and it was the FBI’s suspect number 2 (black cap). Given his injuries I would take his word for it that indeed the backpack left by his feet was indeed the one and therefore the suspect who was killed this morning was in fact the bomber.

    Backpacks still on after blast. What about reports that the bombs detonated inside bags?

  25. Anonymous says:

    Not sayin it was good for craft people to be having an op (another issue to investigate?) there, but there’s no white stripes on their packs.

    IMHO – a quickly, but accurate, publicly published blueprint, with X marks the spot where the bomb(s) went off would save time for everyone in tracking this down. While one can’t perfectly match horizontal live photos to a bird’s eye, it’s still a map to build on and the human mind can place the photos to a grid by visualization, landmark, or even a local with direct knowledge of the location would be best.

        Lol, what?

        Infowars isn’t news, and it isn’t based on facts, it’s based on conjecture and speculation. Alex Jones is a fear mongering charlatan. Ever notice how when ANYTHING bad happens, it’s automatically some evil plot by the government, and Alex Jones has ALL of the information? Even natural disasters (it’s always HAARP). Don’t forget to buy his books, or his DVDs ladies and gentlemen, but remember, he’s not in it for the money.

        • thinkdudethink says:

          ShillCosby: The fact you wish for anyone who questions the official stories to get “blown up” tells us you’re made from the same stuff as the real bombers, whoever that is. You need to move to “secure” North Korea, it would be a lot more your style. And infowars DOES present facts, and where it speculates about where those leads, it identifies that as a not yet proven. As for selling stuff, so you think he doesn’t believe this or want the truth out, Alex just makes it up so he can sell disks? You’re more naive than you believe we are. Go back to your MSM pablum. Believe that Building Seven didn’t really collapse 20 minutes after the BBC reporter announced its collapse, and Larry Silverstein didn’t really confess it was pulled right on TV. You clearly took the blue pill.

    Seriously, what the hell is wrong with the people who believe the crap this guys spouts. Some guys puts an earphone in, could be for his phone, iPod etc. I’ve seen other images where peoples faces have been blurred as they were closer to the camera. Even it was an earpiece, it could have been security. Whats the problem? In another story there are images of guys with hats with the Punisher logo. Saying their seals or whatever. If they were there to not be seen and do bad do you think they are that stupid to wear those hats and have visible earpieces?

    Also this rubbish about predicting stuff, if you say every week that you think they are planning something eventually you will be right! Same goes for someone saying I bet they find the bombers on firday. Wow, genius, predict a few days after the incident they will be caught. Nice going sherlock. Doesnt mean that its a setup.

    A cop was shot and killed, was this all part of the plan too? The thing with the sniffer dogs, this is a huge event, they are obviously going to have some security checks to make sure nothing happens. Why didnt they catch the bomber at the time? The amount of people there, you would need a dog for each person to sniff out the bombs.

    Saying the guy going missing means he was kidnapped before hand and made be a patsy. Yeah, because someone planning something like this would never disappear to finalise preparations.

    Alex came across very poorly in any interviews I have seen. The Piers Morgan interview was a joke. I dont like Piers but Alex couldn’t even have a debate and acted childish mocking the English accent and ranting and raving. Came across as being crazy.

    Are they going to say now that the explosion at the fertilizer place was government also?

    The guy asking the question at the conferences “is this a false flag attack?” means absolutley nothing. They said No, but of course you think that means it is. Did you expect them to go “Oh sh**, you got us! That was what it was…

    • TheeKidd says:

      My question to you is…why are you so quick to dismiss the possibility that our government could actually be the real suspect in this bombing? Why would they admit to an false flag? The world isn’t pretty nor is it honest.

      Stop living in a fairy tale and wake the hell up! Open your eyes and realize that the media and our government are NOT completely honest with the public. These are all legit questions that we have the right to ask. Why can’t they give us an answer as to why these “NAVY Seals” were at the location of the bombing?

      My only other question to you is why are you posting on this website?

      • ShillCosby says:

        They weren’t Navy Seals. They’re members of the National Guard Civil Support Team. They’re at every major event where the threat of a bomb is considered a possibility. Them not being there would have been suspicious. There is your answer. Look it up.

    Looks like their “persons of interest”, let me reiterate ONLY PERSONS OF INTEREST, have gone from person of interest to one confirmed dead and one now definitely a terrorist. How convenient for them that the search for the real bombers is over, guess they are not gonna catch themselves on this one. Why cant you sheep wake up and realize its impossible for them to pick out the true bombers within 2 days of the shooting without questioning every suspicious person with a backpack at the marathon… but no you sheep want to believe the media tells the truth and that everythings gonna be ok cuz the Feds got the “bad guy” when clearly this whole time Posse Comitatus has been violated so the Fed can find their own answers so there are no loose ends… Why cant they let State and City police investigate?

        This isn’t Arlington Road! I am certainly not averse to the idea of an elite, a puppet government even, yadda yadda yadda, I read a lot of Chomsky you know, so it’s not that I’m against conspiracy theories, I just don’t see how EVERYTHING bad that ever happens has to be a conspiracy against the ‘little people’, but like I say, this isn’t Arlington Road and I think the devastating effects of the Boston Marathon and it’s victims and witnesses should not become fodder for those who simply can’t accept that bad things happen without the governments aide or wishes. They robbed a seven eleven because they needed money….simple. I find no problem with this, accepting these two are responsible after Bauman’s identification of one. I’d be suspicious too if that hadn’t happened. i would be MUCH happier though if the FBI released the video of the suspect downing his bag at Baumans feet, like it says they have seen.
