Update on the Boston Marathon Bomb Case

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

Movies are used to set official stories in stone, and a movie is going to be made about the heroic capture of a badly wounded 19 year old kid, not old enough to buy a beer, who, despite being shot up and severely wounded, is alleged to have written a confession in the dark on the side of a boat under which he was hiding to escape execution. Apparently, the 10,000 troops who violated the US Constitution and searched the houses of a shutdown Boston without warrants are going to be credited for “saving America from terrorism.”  http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/regionals/south/2016/03/08/crews-preparing-southfield-for-shooting-marathon-bombing-film/iol7OIhjAJR8lvhI74AhqO/story.html?s_campaign=8315  

I find it difficult to believe that a shot-up kid, who had to be put into intensive care when he was discovered, who was hiding from execution under an upturned boat, spent what little energy and life force he had left writing a confession in the dark on the inside of a boat.  What convenient instrument to write with did he happen to have on hand?

Why would we believe assurances of such an unlikely confession from the same lying government that assured the world that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction justifying a multi-trillion dollar invasion that destroyed a county? We know for a fact that Saddam Hussein most certainly did not have weapons of mass destruction as President Bush later admitted, and even if he had, such possession is no justification for illegal US aggression that destroyed a country. Why would we believe  a government that assured the world that Assad used chemical weapons against his own people, which we know for a fact was Washington’s made up excuse for invasion?

NEW HOME SALES SURGE!!!

Here is the blaring headline in the MSM:

 

New home sales hit five-and-a-half year high in January

 

The Wall Street shysters and CNBC bimbos are ecstatic. Of course, maybe we should examine the facts within the Census Bureau report:

  • There were 34,000 new homes sold in the entire country in January. There are 75 million homes in the country.
  • Of these 34,000 new homes “sold” in January, 10,000 were actually built. A contract can be cancelled for a nominal penalty amount. When housing went south for Toll Brothers, the cancellation rate exceeded 30%.
  • There were 32,000 new homes sold last January.
  • The median price has fallen by 7% since April.
  • New home sales are pacing 70% below 2005 levels, 40% below levels in the mid-1980’s when mortgage rates were 12%, and 25% below levels in the mid-1960s.
  • Mortgage purchase applications fell last week to the lowest level since 1995. Do mortgage applications fall to a 19 year low if housing is going gangbusters?

The MSM is spinning a yarn to keep the ignorant masses sedated. Do these charts reflect a strong recovering housing market? Housing has begun its 2nd collapse in the last 8 years.
