"In the weeks since the bombings and the police lockdown of Boston, the media has all but dropped mention of the events, evading any discussion of the murky circumstances surrounding the bombings themselves and the sinister political implications of the government response....The indictment against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, handed down at the end of June, maintains the official cover story that the Tsarnaev brothers were “self-radicalized” and inspired by Al Qaeda materials downloaded from the Internet. They allegedly acted entirely on their own. This story has been promoted by the government and uncritically echoed by the media in an evident attempt to preempt questions about the extensive contacts between the Tsarnaevs and US police and intelligence agencies. The mainstream media has refused to report new facts documenting longstanding, high-level connections between US government agencies and members of the Tsarnaev family, including ties of blood and marriage." - Thomas Gaist of the WSWS
