Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev issued a surprise apology during his sentencing hearing, which the hosts find suspicious and "awkwardly phrased." They suggest the apology was a scripted bureaucratic move to prevent conspiracy theories about FBI involvement from gaining traction. They predict Tsarnaev will remain on death row for years due to a lengthy appeals process.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/722-moral-debt/chapter/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentencing-and-missing-backpack-video.md

Legal analysis of the Dzhokhar Tsarnaev death penalty sentence suggests that his defense attorney, Judy Clark, focused on mitigation to avoid execution. The hosts revisit the "missing" surveillance video that allegedly showed Tsarnaev placing the backpack at the bomb site. Despite claims by former Governor Deval Patrick that the video was "chilling," it was never released to the public, leading to skepticism about its existence.

Former CIA operative Bob Baer tells CNN that the Tsarnaev brothers could not have built the Boston Marathon bombs alone. Baer cites the sophisticated rewiring of the pressure cookers and the use of flash powder as evidence of professional training. He suggests that the "knuckleheads" lacked the expertise to deviate from the instructions found in Inspire magazine.

Bob Baer speculates that Tamerlan Tsarnaev may have received explosives training during his time in Dagestan. The hosts interpret Baer's comments as a subtle critique of the FBI's failure to identify potential accomplices. They suggest the possibility that the brothers were "patsies" whose devices were not intended to explode, but were cut loose by their handlers.

The trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is discussed, focusing on the lack of video evidence showing the defendant placing a backpack at the blast site. CNN is criticized for promoting "new" video that merely shows Tsarnaev shopping at a Whole Foods in Cambridge after the explosion. The media's role in dramatizing the prosecution's timeline is examined.

- **Time:** 34:13–43:37
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/701-oatmeal/chapter/boston-marathon-bombing-trial-missing-video-evidence.md

As the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev begins, questions arise regarding the "smoking gun" video evidence previously cited by Governor Duval Patrick. Despite official claims that video showed the suspect placing a backpack near a child, no such footage has been produced in court. The defense's strategy of admitting Tsarnaev's presence while blaming his brother is compared to the legal proceedings in the film Idiocracy.

John C. Dvorak predicts a New England Patriots victory as a distraction from the ongoing Dzhokhar Tsarnaev trial in Boston. Adam Curry counters with a theory that the Patriots might "lose by a jip"—a controversial or "gypped" call—to maximize media engagement and public outrage. They discuss the coaching history of Pete Carroll and the "cheating" reputation of the Patriots organization.

The hosts discuss the lack of public video showing the Tsarnaev brothers planting bombs at the Boston Marathon and transition to a new ISIS video allegedly showing a young boy executing Russian spies. They attribute the ISIS video to the SITE Intelligence Group and characterize it as propaganda. The segment references the repeal of the Smith-Mundt Act as allowing for the "propagandizing" of the American public.

A Florida prosecutor released a report detailing the fatal FBI shooting of Ibragim Todashev, an associate of the Boston Marathon bombers. The official account claims Todashev attacked agents with a coffee table and a broomstick pole before being shot multiple times, including in the back of the head. The hosts question the shifting narrative and the lack of video evidence from the interrogation.

The Urban Shield police equipment convention in Oakland has faced local opposition, with the mayor announcing the city will no longer host the event. During a Senate hearing, a DHS official claimed that grant-funded infrared cameras were essential in capturing the Boston Marathon bomber. However, Senator Tom Coburn corrected the record, noting that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was actually found by a local resident who noticed a loose tarp on his boat and called 911.

The trial for accused Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been delayed until January 2015. The hosts question the existence of video evidence showing the Tsarnaev brothers placing backpacks at the scene and speculate on the political motivations behind the trial's timing.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/645-ghost-of-austin/chapter/katt-williams-on-the-boston-marathon-bombing.md

Comedian Katt Williams' stand-up routine is used to deconstruct the official narrative of the Boston Marathon bombing. Williams points out the contradictions in the police report regarding the shootout in the boat, noting that the suspect was unarmed despite the massive amount of gunfire directed at him. The hosts praise Williams for his "No Agenda" style analysis of media lies.

### Media Double Standards, Boston Bombing and Sandy Hook Footage

- **Episode:** [640: Putinism](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/640-putinism.md)
- **Published:** 2014-08-03

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/640-putinism/chapter/media-double-standards-boston-bombing-and-sandy-hook-footage.md

The discussion highlights the discrepancy in how international versus domestic violence is portrayed in American media. While CNN frequently broadcasts graphic footage of casualties in the Middle East, the government has withheld the "money shot" video of the Tsarnaev brothers at the Boston Marathon and evidence from the Sandy Hook shooting. The Governor of Massachusetts reportedly admitted to not seeing the specific surveillance footage of the backpack placement.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/619-droves-of-jihadis/chapter/boston-bombing-court-filings-and-inspire-magazine.md

New court filings regarding the Boston Marathon bombing suggest the Tsarnaev brothers used recipes from Al-Qaeda's Inspire Magazine. Adam Curry disputes this, noting that the 2010 "Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom" article does not mention pressure cookers or fireworks. The hosts suggest the government is attempting to link "lone wolf" actors to international terror groups to justify domestic surveillance.

NBC terrorism analyst Evan Kohlmann, a partner at Flashpoint Global Partners, discussed the radicalization of the Tsarnaev brothers via "Inspire" magazine. The hosts examine Flashpoint's website, describing it as a "sketchy" operation that sells "actionable intelligence" about the dark web to governments and corporations.

A Florida state attorney cleared an FBI agent in the fatal shooting of Ibragim Todashev, a friend of Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Todashev was shot during an interrogation, and while the FBI claims the shooting was justified, the hosts demand the release of the interrogation video.
