There’s always enough confusion surrounding these events that trying to straighten out the details is like looking for one end of a strand of spaghetti in a bowl. What makes sense is to look at the events from overhead and the important details emerge because they are found to be so similar to those of other events. 1. Apparently senseless violence, always perpetrated against the innocent and the unarmed. 2. Participants are first unknown or shadowy and after a “decent interval” of sleuthwork, the FBI or other agency solves the puzzle and runs the perp(s) to ground. 3. To ground, literally: Everybody dies. 4. In the high profile national news coverage, some item of a police state rising is advanced. 5. The obvious government subterfuge comes under greater and greater scrutiny with voices growing louder and louder and the government’s corporate press circles its wagons and the daily propaganda begins. 6. The nation gets divided more and the government gets responsive with increasing federal countermeasures 7. The uneasy dueling between the police state and citizens asserting the supremacy of their contract with the Constitution goes on and on toward wherever its leading. And then rising a bit higher in the sky, high enough to see history itself, you see where the pattern is leading — 8. In the coalition among government, banks, psychiatric forces of the day, corporations that feed on the tax dollar (or reichsmark, or ruble, or peso) and finally the general apathy, cowardice and blindness of a country’s middle class (or what passes for a middle class–the majority of people “getting by” somehow), a totalitarian society emerges, and night descends in a final steel curtain. We may never know exactly what went down in Boston anymore than at Daley Plaza or aboard Flight 93, but it’s probably a sure bet that two young Chechen boys learned all too late that dancing with the devil leads to one final waltz.
