Patriot's Day is on the 19th, but as I scanned the headlines, it looks like Charlie Wilson has died at the age of 76.
Also at the age of 70 a congressman from Ohio who also is named Charles Wilson has died at the age of 70. The
recent Tom Hanks movie highlighted the life of the colorful congressman from Texas who once went to Afganistan.
The race could have been run on the 20th instead of Income Tax day, perhaps. Until this tragedy, today had been
quiet, and the weather was not too hot. Almost ideal conditions for the marathon. People have been badly injured.

the JFK library is several miles away from Boylston and is located on the waterfront.

In 1969 they changed when Patriot's Day is to be celebrated. I can remember it being the 19th,
which is the day the battles of Lexington and Concord happened way back in 1775. having it on
the 3rd Monday of the month is easier on people, it sets up 3 day weekends. The 15th is tax day.
It might be coincidence of having the Marathon on tax day and also Patriot's Day timed this way
that motivated the group that appears to be responsible for this. our local 4 p.m news has started.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/nov/16/fbi-entrapment-fake-terror-plots
Even more shocking was that the organisation, money, weapons and motivation for this plot did not come from real Islamic terrorists. It came from the FBI, and an informant paid to pose as a terrorist mastermind paying big bucks for help in carrying out an attack. For McWilliams, her own government had actually cajoled and paid her beloved nephew into being a terrorist, created a fake plot and then jailed him for it. "I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone," she told the Guardian.
The FBI does this kind of stuff often enough, at the very least they're statistically due to have one go terribly wrong eventually.

12 dead, dozens more injured after two explosions rock Boston marathon finish line
that says the first explosion was in the lobby of the Fairmont
BOSTON — Two explosions shattered the euphoria of the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday, sending authorities out on the course to carry off the injured while the stragglers in the 26.2-mile trek from Hopkinton were rerouted away from the smoking site of the blasts.
A federal law-enforcement source told The Post there are at least 12 dead and twice as many injured. Fox News reported that Massachusetts General Hospital was treating 10 people with amputated limbs and all operating rooms were on hold.
Law-enforcement sources said at least the first explosion occurred in the lobby of the Fairmont Hotel.
"There were two bombs that exploded near the finish line in today's Boston Marathon," The Boston Marathon's official Facebook page read. "We are working with law enforcement to understand what exactly has happened."
According to reports, authorities in Boston found a third explosive device that had not gone off and police were going to perform a controlled explosion. The airspace above the city was ordered cleared as well.
Do you notice the runners near the finish line who couldn't see it just kept on running to cross? But the ones behind kind of veered. Love that they were pushing to the prize...

I know that you're being facetious, but they won't go after "bombs" here.
I'm not passing judgment on "inside job" or not, but the thing that they will go after has already been hinted at: being able to shut down cell networks and communications. My prediction will be that these devices will be found to have had cell-triggers, and the govt will push for being able to place local black-outs on all communication devices at any events/gatherings.
Since there has been little "official" hints at a culprit, I doubt that anyone will ever be fingered in these bombings. Without an official culprit, the conspiracy theorists will be able to run wild with speculation, and further alienate those who look for reason and meaning from the mainstream of the population.
For real, this had to be the Lizardpeople using zero-point energy weapons to vaporize the organic material near the laser beams with the purpose of regulating marathons because they don't want sporting competitions where some people are able to win at the expense of others. Duh.

That's odd. There were two badly-serviced generators that blew up near one another, near the end of the marathon, timed for a range when a number of people would be finishing. There appear to be some unexploded devices as well. Bad luck for whoever made the devices, that those generators went off and ruined the entire thing.
I'm pretty sure that two explosions at the end of the Boston Marathon would always have made the news, especially with the number of dead and injured.

The director of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum says that a 3 p.m. fire inside the building's mechanical room was not caused by a device and is apparently not related to the explosions at the Boston Marathon finish line.
Tom Putnam, the director of the JFK Library, said that the incident was confined to a mechanical room near the archive section of the library.

It is sad that when something tragic like this happens, that the first thought for many of us is "What freedoms will we lose?"
I have been listening to the newscasts trying to determine because I thought "What are they going to do, take away the "right to make bombs?". But what I heard in just a few minutes listening is that a couple of times was mentioned "anyone can learn how to do these crude bombs on the internet." and similar statements. Often enough and by different people that I expect internet freedom of information is going to be the target of legislation.

Boston marathon bombing happened on same day as ‘controlled explosion’ drill by Boston bomb squad
http://www.infowars.com/boston-marathon-bombing-happened-on-same-day-as-controlled-explosion-drill-by-boston-bomb-squad/
The article (which is actually from the other paranoia site Natural News and reprinted by Alex Jones) seems to be discussing the controlled demolition of a suspicious item found AFTER the initial two explosions. They like to mislead readers as well.
Here at Natural News, we are horrified at this loss of innocent life, and we are praying for the victims of this bombing as well as their families.
Bomb squad was running “controlled explosion” on the same day
What’s not yet being reported by the mainstream media is that a “controlled explosion” was under way on the same day as the marathon explosion.
As the Boston Globe tweeted today, “Officials: There will be a controlled explosion opposite the library within one minute as part of bomb squad activities.”
Either way, terrorism always works in the favor of the state. It makes presidents look presidential, and it gives the government an excuse to crack down on civil liberties all across the country.
Be wary of who ultimately gets blamed for this, especially if it’s a veteran or patriot.
