      but cops in the Boston area think that there's a suspect in plain sight and that the bureau and the U.S. attorney are protecting him for some reason.

      The FBI maintains to this day that the bombers were not known to the bureau before those photos were made public, despite the fact that federal agents interviewed Tamerlan and his family multiple times in 2011 after Russian counterterrorism officials warned the FBI and the CIA that they had intercepted communications between Tamerlan and militants in Russia's Northern Caucasus, where the Tsarnaevs had emigrated from. FBI officials also have yet to explain why bureau agents were in the Tsarnaevs' neighborhood, which is roughly a mile from MIT, the night Dzhokhar killed Collier.

      I googled Daniel Morley and the top result was another guy with the same name who’s a cop at a high school who’s also a Nazi https://www.thedailybeast.com/virginia-cop-daniel-morley-revealed-as-identity-evropa-member

    Maybe I just haven't read enough about it but what did the Tsarnaev brothers want to come out of the bombing? It just seems kinda weird that it's kinda linked to Chechnyan nationalism, but the bombing happened in the US?

      I think the whole situation makes sense more sense if you consider it as an FBI entrapment op that got out of control and then was covered up after the fact.

          Qheads may have the wrong idea about the specifics, but have kind of the right idea about large-scale conspiracies being perpetrated by powerful organizations and individuals right out in the open. What they can't fathom is the degree to which so many libs can't see the obvious fuckery happening in cases like this.

          Also, only tangentially related, but I would highly suggest reading Wendy Painting's Aberration in the Heartland of the Real to get a clearer picture of how the FBI's Domestic Gladio operation works.

      I thought they were also partially by religious motive, in particular the US' occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan.

      I would think that Chechnyian nationalism could also have been part of their motives as well, but attacking the US wouldn't be so much them putting blame on the US, but rather calling attention to their struggle.

      Officially, they wanted revenge for the war on terror. But if you look into the case some peculiar details pop out. A suspect was killed by a fed AFTER he confessed. Also, thanks to @AngelusNovus , I just learned that Russia warned the US about them but the US continues to deny any prior knowledge.
