Private ops hired for the Boston Marathon?

[sellersm]

*EDIT*: I should have put "Craft" in the title.... Supposedly there were some "Craft" private operators 'hired' to be @ the Boston Marathon. But who knows...

Has anyone seen this "report"?

Here's the first part...

Photos: Private military operatives hired to 'work' the Boston marathon with black backpacks, radiation detectors, tactical gear. (NaturalNews) Natural News has now confirmed that at least five private military contractors were operating on scene at the Boston marathon, and that they all carried black backpacks which look very similar to the backpack carrying the pressure cooker bomb (see pictures below).

The mainstream media is completely censoring any mention of these "Craft" operatives, pretending they don't even exist. Only the alternative media is conducting real investigative journalism on these bombings. The mainstream media isn't interested in the truth; they only want to spin the attack into a new way to somehow blame conservative Americans for something they had no part in.

I wonder who hired these guys. I thought they were Secret Service and this was considered a "National Special Security Event"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...Security_Event

I saw something like this this morning and immediately said to myself, "This sounds like total bullshit". It still sounds like total bullshit to me.

OK, so what? We hired good guys to look for dirty bombs. Meh.

You know there are other people out there who wear 5.11 pants, combat boots, and use the pinisher symbol ...

It'd be newsworthy if the Boston Marathon didn't hire private security.

Why not just wear normal clothes and blend in?

Oh noooosss! Additional security was present at the event! The horror!

I fail to see where the story is. It's pretty obvious what they were doing there (assuming Occam's Razor).

And for the record, any "news" source that has to tell you all about how the MSM won't cover the story and that they're the real reporters and how they'll continue to fight the good fight, blah blah, is probably not a source to be routinely relied on.

Exactly these internet commando super sleuths apparently haven't bothered to get the memo that anyone can buy those hats on their website.

The rest can be had any of a million different places like we all know of course. And we wonder why there's so much difficulty getting a straight story on anything.....
