By now, anyone watching the news is aware of the abominable bombing at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Who is responsible, and more importantly, who is behind it, is not known at this time. It is being reported by the New York Post that 12 have been killed, and up to 50 injured.
This is obviously a tragic event, but one that could bring the U.S. police state, a police state already solidly in place, to a whole new level.
This situation should be watched closely, as the State will certainly use this bombing to install many more draconian laws, restrictions and regulations. This will be done in the name of safety, but every single shooting and bombing, regardless of any known facts, will bring liberty to a standstill, and government control of the individual to an all time high!
The results then of any terrorist act, regardless of who is responsible or complicit, will be new and massive restrictions on the individual, and a higher probability of Martial Law in the future.
UPDATE:
Cell service was shut down in Boston. Authorities said they could set off remote explosions. Could that not happen at any time and anywhere?
New York authorities increase city wide “security” increase security for New York Marathon. “NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said that the NYPD has deployed its Critical Response Vehicles as well until more about the explosion is learned.”
Commissar Bloomberg: “I have spoken with Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, and the NYPD has stepped up security at strategic locations and critical infrastructure, including our subways.
“Some of the security steps we are taking may be noticeable, including deployment of Critical Response Vehicles and additional police personnel, and others will not be.
“Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he had directed state agencies, including the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, State Police, the MTA and the Port Authority, to be on a heightened state of alert.”
