Boston Bombing Anomalies Continue: Did 2 FBI Agents Investigating Case Die In Mystery Air Accident?

FBI Agents Christopher Lorek and Stephen Shaw

FBI Agents Christopher Lorek and Stephen Shaw died in “fall” from helicopter.

Stephen: In stuff that seems to be mirroring many other false flags – where those involved or investigating the “incident” suddenly disappear or die – there’s a story doing the rounds that two FBI agents who were supposedly ‘on the Boston bombing case’ died in a mysterious air crash 9 days ago. The first two stories below present opposing views; while the third is a mainstream ‘announcement’ article. I’ll let you make your own decision about what feels ‘right’. The first story is thanks to Leslie.

FBI Agents Killed in Virginia Were Investigating the Boston Bombing

By JG Vibes, Global Research News – May 25, 2013

Two FBI agents died in a “fall” from a helicopter in Virginia this week. Days later it has emerged that these agents were involved in the arrest of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings.

During a training mission in Virginia, 2 FBI agents were killed after falling from a helicopter into the water.

41-year-old Christopher Lorek, and 40-year-old Stephen Shaw both belonged to an experienced hostage rescue team that was involved in the arrest of Boston Marathon suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Pilot Online reported that:

In interviews Monday, the founder of the Hostage Rescue Team and other former special agents called the unit “elite” while outlining the difficult training exercises members must endure.

“It’s the most rigorous training regiment in law enforcement, probably in the world,” said Danny Coulson, a former deputy assistant director of the FBI who started the team 30 years ago and served as its first commander. “They have to be able to do any mission, at any time.”

Among other things, members of the Hostage Rescue Team are trained to rappel from helicopters, scuba dive and use explosives to break down doors and walls. When needed, the team can deploy within four hours to anywhere in the U.S.

“It sounds risky, and it absolutely is,” Coulson said. “They have the same skill sets as SEAL Team 6 and Delta Force.”

Last month, the team was involved in the arrest of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings.

There have been a series of suspicious deaths surrounding people who were close to the investigation and the arrests. Just yesterday we reported that a former MMA fighter was killed by the FBI when they payed him a visit for “questioning.

As Shepard Ambellas reported, “In what continues to be the most bizarre series of ongoing events, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter, Ibragim Todashev, was shot and killed in his apartment by the FBI just before midnight last night. Authorities believed the man to be a friend of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the alleged Boston bombing suspects.”

And if that’s not enough. It was also reported by Infowars.com on April 29, 2013 that the original bombing suspect, Sunil Tripathi, was found dead in Providence River.

We will be keeping a close eye on this story and this case in general as the establishment moves in to cover up their tracks and tie up loose ends.

FBIfast-rope-450x295The 2 FBI Agents Who Arrested Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Did Not Die Mysteriously

By Daniel Greenfeld, Front Page Magazine – May 27, 2013

This story is going around the usual circles, but there are a few things wrong with it. First of all Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was actually arrested by an MBTA SWAT Team.

The FBI tried to negotiate his surrender and he was eventually taken into federal custody. Considering how many people were involved in the actual arrest and how many agencies got involved, we’re talking about a lot of personnel that were in some way around.

Special Agents Christopher Lorek and Stephen Shaw were members of a hostage rescue team. I’m having trouble finding any legitimate news sites, not counting the usual Pravda-Ron Paul-Infowars conspiracy network sites, that even say that they specifically were in the area.

The Hostage Rescue Team was there and tossed in a stun grenade that forced his surrender, but the HRT consists of 90 operators. It’s unclear if Lorek and Shaw were the ones who were there and their obituaries fail to mention any such thing. Or that HRT had any further contact with him afterward.

Their deaths are not particularly mysterious. It’s dangerous work and the training is even more dangerous.

Lorek and another special agent, Stephen Shaw, were fast-roping from the aircraft onto a ship when the helicopter “encountered difficulties,” according to information released by the FBI. “The agents tragically fell a significant distance and suffered fatal injuries.”

Tran attended the memorial. Afterward he recalled a conversation when Lorek described his rehabilitation for eight broken ribs and a punctured lung he suffered during a training accident.

“It was just incredible to understand the work he did,” said Tran, of Chicago. “They put their lives on the line for us.”

Sure it could all be a giant cover up, but there were more than two people on the scene and more than two people involved in the arrest. Try hundreds.

fbiagentstvQuantico-Based FBI Agents Killed in Training Accident

By John Gonzalez, ABC7News Virginia -May 19/20, 2013 -

http://www.wjla.com/articles/2013/05/quantico-based-fbi-agents-killed-in-training-accident-89021.html

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) – Two FBI special agents on the agency’s elite Hostage Rescue Team have been killed in a training accident in Virginia, officials said Sunday.

The accident happened off the coast of Virginia Beach on Friday, the FBI’s national press office announced in a statement Sunday. No other details were given and the cause is under investigation.

The special agents were identified as Christopher Lorek, 41, and Stephen Shaw, 40. Lorek joined the FBI in 1996 and is survived by a wife and two daughters, 11 and 8. Shaw joined in 2005 and is survived by a daughter, 3, and son, 1.

“We mourn the loss of two brave and courageous men,” Director Robert Mueller said in the statement. “Like all who serve on the Hostage Rescue Team, they accept the highest risk each and every day, when training and on operational missions, to keep our nation safe. Our hearts are with their wives, children, and other loved ones who feel their loss most deeply. And they will always be part of the FBI Family.”

The Hostage Rescue Team is part of the Critical Incident Response Group based at Quantico in northern Virginia. Most recently, members of the team successfully rescued a 5-year-old boy from a small underground bunker where he was being held hostage by a 65-year-old man. The man was killed by agents.

Trained in military tactics and outfitted with combat-style gear and weapons, the group was formed 30 years ago in preparation for the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. The team is deployed quickly to trouble spots and provides assistance to local FBI offices during hostage situations. It has participated in hostage situations more than 800 times in the U.S. and elsewhere since 1983.

How bad is the anti-Muslim backlash in London?

After a brutal murder is allegedly committed by two Muslim men, mosques are attacked, anti-Islam obscenities shouted, and women's headscarves ripped off

When off-duty soldier Lee Rigby was hacked to death in broad daylight last week in the Woolwich district of London, Britons were very understandably shocked and horrified.

The two suspects, Michael Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22, are British citizens of Nigerian descent. They are also Muslims.

SEE MORE: Today in history: May 28

That last fact has sparked a wave of anti-Muslim sentiment in London and all around Britain. A new YouGov poll shows that the number of Britons who believe "British Muslims pose a serious threat to democracy" jumped to 34 percent after the killing, up from 30 percent in November. The poll also found that nearly two-thirds of people in the U.K. believe that a "clash of civilizations" is coming between British Muslims and white Britons, up 9 percentage points from last year.

How has that attitude affected British Muslims? Here is what they have had to face so far:

The fire-bombing of a mosque
On Sunday, Diler Gharib, chairman of the Grimsby Islamic Cultural Centre, told the Grimsby Telegraph that he and other worshippers were praying at their mosque in the town of Grimsby when it was fire-bombed:

We had just finished our prayers and were discussing how to thank our neighbours for the support they have shown us over the past few days when we heard a bang and saw fire coming under the door. I grabbed a fire extinguisher and put it out and then two more petrol bombs hit the fire escape and the bin so I had to put those out too. [Grimsby Telegraph]

CCTV footage confirms that three fire-bombs were thrown over the complex's gate, according to The Guardian. The mosque's imam, Ahmad Sabik, referred to it as an attempted murder.

SEE MORE: Where is that cicada invasion, anyway?

There have been a total of 10 attacks on mosques throughout the country since last week's Woolwich murder, reports The Independent.

Protests in the streets
Around a thousand supporters of the right-wing English Defence League (EDL) marched through London on Monday chanting things like "Muslim killers, off our streets." The crowd gathered outside of British Prime Minister David Cameron's home and, according to Reuters, yelled anti-Islam obscenities.

Members of the EDL were also active hours after the attack in Woolwich, The Guardian reports, with members throwing bottles at the police and chanting anti-Islam slogans. The group's leader, Tommy Robinson, expressed his group's opinion on the world's second largest religion:

"They're chopping our soldiers' heads off. This is Islam.

Our next generation are being taught through schools that Islam is a religion of peace. It's not. It never has been. What you saw today is Islam." [The Guardian]

Around 1,500 members of the EDL also marched in the northern English city of Newcastle, which resulted in 24 arrests for public drunkenness, vandalism, and handing out racist literature, according to the Associated Press.

Reports of anti-Muslim incidents rise dramatically
Fiyaz Mughal, director of interfaith non-profit Faith Matters, said his group received 162 calls in the two days after the Woolwich attack from people who said they were the victims of anti-Muslim incidents. On a normal day, the group receives around five complaints.

Mughal, a former army officer, explained how bad the problem was to the BBC:

"What's really concerning is the spread of these incidents. They're coming in from right across the country.

Secondly, some of them are quite aggressive very focused, very aggressive attacks.

And thirdly, there also seems to be significant online activity... suggesting co-ordination of incidents and attacks against institutions or places where Muslims congregate." [BBC]

The incidents include verbal harassment, graffiti and attacks on mosques, and people pulling off women's headscarves, Mughal said.

Rescuers save newborn from sewage pipe in China


Associated Press - In this still image taken from video from Saturday May 25, 2013, rescue workers cut away parts of a sewage pipe where a newborn baby was trapped in Pujiang in east China's Zhejiang province. Chinese firefighters have rescued a newborn boy from a sewer pipe below a squat toilet, sawing out an L-shaped section and then delicately dismantling it to free the trapped baby, who greeted the rescuers with cries. A tenant heard the baby’s sounds in the public restroom of a residential building in Zhejiang province in eastern China on Saturday and notified authorities, according to the state-run news site Zhejiang News. A video of the two-hour rescue that followed was broadcast widely on Chinese news programs and websites late Monday and Tuesday. (AP Photo) CHINA OUT

BEIJING (AP) — A newborn's cries from a public restroom in a residential building in eastern China led a tenant to a startling discovery: a baby boy trapped in a sewage pipe beneath a squat toilet.

Firefighters, unable to pull the baby out, ended up sawing away an L-shaped section of the pipe and carrying it to a hospital, where it was delicately pried apart to save the infant.

Video of the two-hour rescue of Baby No. 59 — so named because of his incubator number in the hospital in the Pujiang area of the city of Jinhua — was shown on Chinese news programs and websites late Monday and Tuesday.

The baby, who weighed 2.8 kilograms (6 pounds, 2.8 ounces), had a low heart rate and some minor abrasions on his head and limbs, but was mostly unhurt, according to Zhejiang Online, the province's official news site. The placenta was still attached.

It was unclear how the baby ended up in the toilet, but police said they were treating the case as an attempted homicide. The Pujiang county police bureau said on its official microblog account that the boy's mother has been located and that an investigation was under way, but it gave no further details.

In the video, officials were shown removing the pipe from a ceiling that apparently was just below the restroom and then, at the hospital, using pliers and saws to gently pull apart the pipe, which was about 10 centimeters (about 3 inches) in diameter.

News of the baby's ordeal was met with horror and pity by bloggers on Chinese sites. Most speculated that the child had been dumped by his parents down the toilet.

The rescue prompted an outpouring from strangers who came to the hospital with diapers, baby clothes, powdered milk and offers to adopt him.

The landlord of the building told Zhejiang News that there were no signs that the birth took place in the restroom and she was not aware of any recent pregnancies among her tenants.

Despite the offers to adopt Baby No. 59, a doctor at the hospital said the boy would be turned over to social services if his parents did not claim him, Zhejiang News said.

In China, reports of babies being abandoned are common and fuel public anger against a strict one-child policy that imposes huge fines on parents who violate the rules. The policy has been blamed as a factor in causing parents to abandon unwanted children, although they are usually baby girls because of a traditional preference for males.

$81 Million Toxic Waste Settlement Will Cost Walmart One Day's Worth of Profits


$81 Million Toxic Waste Settlement Will Cost Walmart One Day's Worth of Profits
Retail conglomerate Walmart agreed to pay $81 million on Tuesday after the company admitted in a San Francisco court to dumping toxic sludge into sanitary sewers throughout the state of California and Missouri in the early to mid-2000s, resulting in children encountering ammonium sulfate powder while playing outdoors. The penalty payment is, to almost every human being, unimaginably large. But how much is $81 million to Walmart, thelargest private employer in existence? Let's cut to the chase: it's not that much at all. Tuesday's payout will cost Walmart a day worth of profits.

RELATED: Frequent Travelers Are Almost Twice As Likely to Be Obese

Walmart's operating profit, according to figures made public on April 30, were $27.87 billion for the prior year. Divided by the number of minutes per year (525,949), we arrive at the amount of profit Walmart generates per minute: approximately $52,990. So $81 million (Walmart's settlement) divided by such equals 1,528, giving us the number of minutes it would take Walmart to recoup the settlement in terms of profits. And 1,528 minutes is approximately 25.4 hours, or a little over a singleday. An hour past this time tomorrow, Walmart will have already earned enough to pay off their court-ordered penalty. Securing that payment, by contrast, required "a nearly decade-old investigation involving more than 20 prosecutors and 32 environmental groups," according to the Associated Press.

Not bad, but these gangs are for real in Honduras

Honduras gangs declare truce, ask talks with gov't

SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras (AP) — Honduras' two biggest and most dangerous street gangs declared an unprecedented truce Tuesday, offering peace in the world's most violent country in exchange for rehabilitation and jobs.

A spokesman for the Mara Salvatrucha, identified only as Marco, said the gang will commit to zero violence and zero crime in the streets as a first-step show of good faith. He spoke to reporters from a prison cell in San Pedro Sula, the Central American country's northern business capital and one of the world's most violent cities.

"Our truce is with God, society and authorities. We ask society and authorities to forgive us for the damage we have done," Marco said.

Minutes later, a leader of the rival 18th Street gang gave a separate news conference from another prison cell, saying his gang offers the same as the Mara Salvatrucha, "if the government will listen." His face was covered by a scarf and he didn't give his name.

The truce, patterned after one between the same two gangs in neighboring El Salvador, has been worked out over the last eight months with mediation by Roman Catholic Bishop Romulo Emiliani of San Pedro Sula.

President Porfirio Lobo said Monday that he was backing efforts by the church leader, saying he personally offered his support. But there has been no official government response so far.

Emiliani said last week when announcing the impending truce that the gangs need government help to break away from their criminal lives, including extorting money from businesses to finance their war with each other. He said authorities should try to turn Honduras' prisons into rehabilitation centers.

In El Salvador, authorities say the truce that began last year has sharply lowered the number of violent deaths. According to reports from Salvadoran public security authorities, homicides have dropped about 52 percent in the 14 months of the truce.

But there is skepticism that a gang truce could reduce violence that dramatically in Honduras, which is said to have the highest homicide rate in the world with anywhere from 85 to 91 killings per 100,000 people. About 20 people die violently every day.

A 2010 U.N. crime report said only 30 percent of the killings are the result of gang-on-gang violence.

"The dynamic of violence in the country goes beyond gangs and reflects the existence of multiple actors that are difficult to pinpoint," said Julieta Castellanos, the National University of Honduras rector whose son and a friend were slain in 2011, allegedly by Honduran police and not gang members.

She said she is concerned the agreement will mean even less criminal prosecution in a country with an enormously high impunity rate.

The 18th Street and Mara Salvatrucha are the country's biggest gangs, formed by Central American immigrants in U.S. prisons who later overran this small Central American country as their members were deported back home. Both engage in dealing drugs and charging extortion fees under threat of death. The 18th Street gang has said its members are being targeted by police death squads, not by rival gang members.

Marco said the gangs will stop recruiting as part of the truce, but they won't immediately stop extorting small businesses, bus and taxi drivers or everyday citizens, a major source of income. That's a major criticism of the truce so far in El Salvador, even though the government reports that extortion there is down.

"Let's go step by step," Marco said. "First zero crime and zero violence, stop the violence. And to stop the violence that's hurting human beings, we will talk about ways to find alternatives."

The two gang leaders who talked with journalists emphasized that so many young men go into the gangs because there are no legitimate jobs or opportunities, and they emphasized the need for work.

"We ask the government to help us so our young people learn a trade and don't turn out like us," Marco said. "I want my son to be a doctor or a cameraman, not a gangster."

Adam Blackwell, the Organization of American States' ambassador for security affairs, said the dialogue with the Honduran gangs started when he and Emiliani visited prisons in San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa and met with members of both groups.

Blackwell played an active role in negotiating the truce between the same two gangs in El Salvador.

"I use the term peace process to define what's happening in El Salvador and now here. Violence in Central America is at the same levels as in countries at war," he told The Associated Press. "You have to start building trust from somewhere and the community, the street, will tell us right away if it's working or not, whether they feel better. We'll all be able to see that."
