The Boston Marathon bombing had obvious signs of being staged, and just  like the pivotal false flag 9/11, that meant overlap with planning  drills -- before, during and after.
ON DAY ONE of the Boston  bombing, Truthstream Media reported on the running coach who witnessed  bomb sniffing dogs and authorities proclaiming a "drill" underway at the  marathon finish line, making clear to those who have long since  followed the pattern that the attack came with the prior knowledge of,  and perhaps participation of, government. This was strongly suggested by  photos showing official looking operatives with backpacks and  communications gear near the bomb site before hand, and immediately  after the bombing.
That revelation was followed by news that the  FBI had already checked out the Tsarnaev brothers over their 'extremist'  Internet activity. While the agency claimed to have found no evidence  of ill intent, the boys' mother has stated the the FBI was monitoring  and checking in on them for years. It has been exposed that nearly all  of the 'plots' since 9/11 have been provocateured by the FBI in "sting"  operations where a patsy is goaded into taking action with a dud bomb or  averted attack. In the case of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the  admitted role of the FBI in setting up the perpetrators did NOT stop  the attack from going live and killing several people and injuring  hundreds.
Just as 9/11 followed exercise scenarios that portrayed  bin Laden's face as a threat over an image of the Twin Towers inside  crosshairs, it has now been revealed the the Boston Marathon bombing  followed plans for a specific Boston exercise where backpack bombs were  used. Chillingly, the drill, funded by a $200,000 Homeland Security  grant, depicted an apparent extremist patriot group dubbed "Free America  Citizens" planting backpack explosives in 'dry-run' to gauge police  response for a larger attack.
In this case, Homeland Security's  Urban Shield drill in Boston was scheduled to take place after the  bombing. However, it follows numerous Boston Urban Shield exercises and  semi-annual multi-agency drills that take place every year in Boston on  Patriot's Day (when the Marathon is typically held) and July 4th.
Homeland Security advisor Arnold Bogis pointed this out, stating in 'Marathon as a dry-run disaster,' a 2008 article, that:
"Today  thousands of runners and hundreds of thousands of spectators are  unwittingly taking part in a planned disaster ..."Massachusetts is  better prepared for a real disaster because every Patriot's Day and  Fourth of July is treated as a 'disaster.'"
Urban Shield  operations takes place in major cities across the country, as Homeland  Security uses the pretense of potential attacks and funding for training  scenarios as a means of taking command of local & state emergency  personnel.
A fellow emergency planner who was not at the scene of  the Boston Marathon bombing Twittered over news about the involvement  of Boston's Office of Emergency Management: "Nice mention of Rene  Fielding, former colleague who's been helping Boston prepare for a  terrorist attack for years..." later adding, "We spent years rehearsing  only to be so far away when it happened. Sucks to be so far away."
The  attitude of this emergency manager gives away the disconnect between  the consequences of real events and the disaster/terrorist training that  takes place ahead of, and often on top of, these attacks.
