It is the new Reichstag fire. It will be said that both the Republican and Democratic parties are compromised, the Tea Party will hold a coup with the military and declare emergency powers. Rand Paul will be installed as fuhrer.

Also take note that Abraham Lincoln died on April 15th: he printed debt-free currency that challenged the European money power. The Titanic sunk on April 15th, supposedly killing the last few opponents of a private central bank in the US. And today is Tax Day in the U.S.

It's pretty clear today's "attack" was symbolic.

Also on 15 April...

1994 – Representatives of 124 countries and the European Communities sign the Marrakesh Agreements revising the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and initiating the World Trade Organization (effective January 1, 1995).

1992 – The National Assembly of Vietnam adopts the 1992 Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

1989 – Upon Hu Yaobang's death, the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 begin in the People's Republic of China.

1986 – The United States launches Operation El Dorado Canyon, its bombing raids against Libyan targets in response to a bombing in West Germany that killed two U.S. servicemen.

1960 – At Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina, Ella Baker leads a conference that results in the creation of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, one of the principal organizations of the African-American Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.

1952 – The maiden flight of the B-52 Stratofortress

Considering how many important operations they have launched on this date, it is clearly significant to them.

That wasn't really my point. My point was that you can do this for any day at all.

I decided to arbitrarily pick 5 March. Here's a sample:

• 1616 – Nicolaus Copernicus's book, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium is banned by the Catholic Church
• 1770 – Boston Massacre: Five Americans, including Crispus Attucks, and a boy, are killed by British troops in an event that would contribute to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War (also known as the American War of Independence) five years later. At a subsequent trial the soldiers are defended by John Adams.
• 1824 – First Anglo-Burmese War: The British officially declare war on Burma.
• 1836 – Samuel Colt makes the first production-model revolver, the .34-caliber.
• 1933 – Great Depression: President Franklin D. Roosevelt declares a "bank holiday", closing all U.S. banks and freezing all financial transactions.
• 1933 – Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party receives 43.9% at the Reichstag elections. This later allows the Nazis to pass the Enabling Act and establish a dictatorship.
• 1946 – Winston Churchill uses the phrase "Iron Curtain" in his speech at Westminster College, Missouri.
• 1960 – Cuban photographer Alberto Korda took his iconic photograph of Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara.
• 1970 – The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty goes into effect after ratification by 43 nations.
• 1974 – Yom Kippur War: Israeli forces withdraw from the west bank of the Suez Canal.
• 1984 – 6,000 miners in the United Kingdom begin their strike at Cortonwood Colliery.
• 2003 – In Haifa, 17 Israeli civilians are killed by a Hamas suicide bomb in the Haifa bus 37 massacre.

Or if that doesn't convince you that you can do this with any date, here's 19 July:

• 1553 – Lady Jane Grey is replaced by Mary I of England as Queen of England after only nine days of reign.
• 1870 – Franco-Prussian War: France declares war on Prussia.
• 1900 – The first line of the Paris Métro opens for operation.
• 1947 – The Prime Minister of the shadow Burmese government, Bogyoke Aung San and 6 of his cabinet and 2 non-cabinet members are assassinated by Galon U Saw.
• 1947 – Korean politician Yuh Woon-Hyung is assassinated.
• 1952 – The 1952 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XV Olympiad, were opened in Helsinki, Finland.
• 1964 – Vietnam War: at a rally in Saigon, South Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Khanh calls for expanding the war into North Vietnam.
• 1981 – In a private meeting with U.S. President Ronald Reagan, French Prime Minister François Mitterrand reveals the existence of the Farewell Dossier, a collection of documents showing that the Soviets had been stealing American technological research and development.
• 1992 – A car bomb placed by mafia with collaboration of Italian intelligence kills Judge Paolo Borsellino and five members of his escort
• 1997 – The Troubles: The Provisional Irish Republican Army resumes a ceasefire to end their 25-year campaign to end British rule in Northern Ireland.

Dig through it a bit.

Born: Kim Il Sung, President of North Korea, as Kim Sung-Ju, in Man-gyong-dae (d. 1994)

Even though North Korea is going to blow the world up any day now, the country still hosted an international marathon as part of a national holiday celebrating the birth of its founder, Kim Il-sung.

You're pretty awesome.

I can't tell if you are a troll/shill or if you honestly believe this, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

Can you expand on the Titanic point? Were there power brokers on the ship who died?

titanic was jp morgan's boat and he invited all the people who were against the fed and then didnt board the ship himself. the insurance claim $$ for the titanic (which wasnt even the titanic it was it's sister ship that sunk) helped fund the fed

O_o

Whaaat? Are you shitting me? So there's evidence that the sinking of the Titanic was a sabotage event?

insurance fraud. I WILL FUCKING CUT YOU - JP Morgan http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a6/JP_Morgan.jpg

bitcoin stuff relevant at all?

Obama mentioned Patriots Day in his statement. Already starting to link the two together for future purposes

Patriots = terrorism. That's their agenda.

There are NO coincidences.

This all seemed obvious to me as soon as it happened. Still early, but this has military-trained Tea Party extremism written all over it. It'd be silly to think it was a lone wolf, though. Oh, and the landmark gun control vote tomorrow is now postponed...

The British finally getting their revenge against the filthy rebellious Colonists?

Its not creepy - I bet dollars to donuts they blame it on "Patriots"

CNN already is.

That's what they want us to think. "Disaffected White Male" is the new terrorist, and they are about to launch a new war on terror.

I just read the FBI has a suspect already, he is Saudi. That probably won't stop CNN from blaming "gun nuts".

Waco Branch Davidian stand-off ended in violence on Patriots Day in 1993.

[deleted]

Yes. Oklahoma two days after Patriots Day and Columbine one day after Patriots Day.

Yeah, why would a city in Massachusetts hold an event on a holiday observed in that state? /s

Your an idiot...

CNN already is.
