The USA’s political and military leaders are weak, blind and confused by the Soviet strategic deception. The Boston Marathon bombings proved this yet again. source

Red Dawn Alert: Russia’s top general in Nicaragua to revitalize Cold War-era military cooperation, rubs elbows with President Ortega, opens training center for Nicaraguan army, named after Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov; Sandinistas returned to power in 2007, rebuilt 1980s dictatorship, relations with Cuba, embraced Venezuela’s Chavezista regime, renovated strategic bomber-capable air base at Punta Huete

So, with the shopping mall regime, MSM and FBI distracted by the threat of Chechen terrorism on US soil, and no doubt emboldened by the election of Hugo Chavez’s anointed successor in Venezuela, Moscow is quietly rebuilding its Cold War-era military-political linkages with Cuba and Nicaragua. But, hey, it’s OK, ’cause communism’s dead . . .

This is the sort of key information Kremlin watchers are looking for in connection with the Boston Marathon bombings: The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB/KGB), by its own admission in the linked AFP article, possibly contacted Tamerlan Tsarnaev four times in 2011-2012.

Event Convergence Alert: Boris Berezovsky’s unexplained death three weeks before Boston Marathon bombings convenient for Kremlin, exiled oligarch linked to intrigue in N. Caucasus; ex-deputy head of Russian Security Council under Yeltsin allegedly knew of plot between then PM Putin and Chechen warlord/ GRU asset Shamil Basayev to invade Dagestan, provoke Russian military response, oust anti-Moscow regime in Chechnya

In 1996, US-born journalist Paul Klebnikov wrote a cover story for Forbes magazine in which he compared Russian mathematician-turned-businessman-turned-politician Boris Berezovsky to the Sicilian mafia. The article was published anonymously, but was widely believed to be Klebnikov’s work. Klebnikov soon received death threats and left Russia for the relatively safety of Paris. However, he later expanded the article into the 2000 book Godfather of the Kremlin: Boris Berezovsky and the Looting of Russia. In 2003, Berezovsky sued Forbes for libel in a British court and won a partial retraction of the original article.
In 2002, US geopolitical analyst Jeff Nyquist, reviewing Klebnikov’s book, wrote: “The most widely acknowledged fact is that Kremlin oligarch Boris Berezovsky gave the al Qaeda-connected Chechen terrorist leader Shamil Basayev $1 million prior to the 1999 Dagestan incursion that triggered the latest Chechen conflict.” Nyquist continues:
In his book, Godfather of the Kremlin, Forbes senior editor and historian Paul Klebnikov noted that Berezovsky supplied the Chechen terrorists with cash (according to Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov). Having interviewed the leading players of the Chechen drama, Klebnikov described the Second Chechen War (that began in 1999) as a “double game.” Klebnikov explained this game in the following terms: “To the extent Berezovsky represented the interests of the Yeltsin regime in Chechnya, the Kremlin had been undermining the [Chechen] moderates, supporting the extremists financially and politically, and consequently sowing the seeds of conflict.”
The best-case scenario would be that a hare-brained Kremlin scheme backfired. “The worst-case scenario,” Klebnikov admitted, “…is that the Berezovsky strategy with the Chechen warlords was a deliberate attempt to fan the flames of war.” To make the case clearly: the Kremlin financed the Wahhabi extremists (i.e., commanders Basayev and Khattab) who invaded Dagestan in August 1999 and triggered the Second Chechen War.
While Berezovsky’s death on March 23, 2013 may have been a suicide induced by the woes of debt and losing a lawsuit against Roman Abramovich, Klebnikov was definitely murdered in Moscow in 2004. His killing remains unsolved to date. For Kremlin watchers, one is inclined to ask whether President Boris Yeltsin’s hand-picked successor, Vladimir Putin, was behind the deaths of these two men, who knew too much about Moscow’s intrigue in the North Caucasus.
In light of the two ethnic Chechen brothers suspected of carrying out the Boston Marathon bombings–one dead, the other hospitalized in serious condition–US officials need to answer these questions, the sooner the better.

Red Terror File: US immigration police arrest two in New Bedford, MA in connection with Boston Marathon bombings; FSB/KGB informed FBI Tamerlan Tsarnaev “radical Islam follower” in 2011, US officials unable to corroborate Russian tip; brother Dzhokhar, co-accused in serious condition in Boston hospital; Tsarnaev parents live in Dagestan, Al Qaeda No. 1 in FSB “custody” for six months in Russian region in 1996/97

Between 1996 and 1997, Osama bin Laden’s right-hand man spends six mysterious months in FSB/KGB “custody” in Dagestan. After his release, Ayman al-Zawahiri meets with Islamists. Fifteen years later, in 2012, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, an ethnic Chechen, radicalized Muslim and legal resident alien of the USA, travels to Russia and spends six myterious months there. His parents live in Dagestan. The FSB/KGB has nothing to say about the visit.
Someone somewhere is lying about the Tsarnaev brothers, whether it’s in Moscow, Washington or both. Career Chekist, past FSB director and current Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin is definitely lying. That the incompetence of US officialdom with respect to Russia’s strategic intentions is involved is also highly likely.
