Who Is “Cowboy Hero” Carlos Arredondo?

 

"Cowboy" Carlos Arredondo

“Cowboy” Carlos Arredondo

From Wikipedia: Anti-war activist Carlos Arredondo, photographed by Andy Carvin at the January 27, 2007 Iraq war protests in Washington DC.

My how things change when one puts on a cowboy hat for the TV.

Some argue that he is “the most interesting man in the world”:

This dude has been around the block, has he not? I mean he has been featured in many news articles going back to 2004. He caught himself on fire, for Christ’s sake.

“My husband almost killed himself in grief,” his wife says. “The day [the Marines] came to tell us Alex was dead, he poured gasoline all over himself and all over the inside of [their] car and lit it on fire. He survived … physically.” ~ Mélida Arredondo

He is an anti-war protestor that waves American flags, honoring soldiers (seems like a disconnect of sorts to me). He has ties to Ted Kennedy. He has been featured in videos and numerous articles on the web. Also, illuminated with one sentence from Wikipedia is this nugget:

Arredondo and his wife Melida both spent time as inpatient psychiatric patients.

~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Arredondo#cite_note-10

Just as DC Dave and I pointed out in yesterday’s post about Bruce Mendelshon’s many interviews and seeming hero focus, this guy also has been featured in the same way. And now he is being touted as a hero. But what if he was acting? What if the guy in the wheelchair is a fake? Wouldn’t that make Carlos some sort of fake, as well?

Here is the problem I have with Cowboy’s story. It don’t really add up time-wise, nor by his actions, as James at the Memory Hole Blog explains in this fabulously illuminating post called The Unlikely Antics of Boston’s “Cowboy Hero”:

The photos taken that day of the overall scene and Arredondo’s activities therein suggest that he went about his purported heroic exploits in a much more time-consuming–and perhaps somewhat less noble–fashion.

Arredondo can be seen here on the left waiting by the fence before donning his hat and springing into action as the wounded lay before him. Bauman appears to be behind the black woman dressed in dark pants, white shirt and red jacket

Rather than rushing to assist the man who allegedly lost both his legs, as we are told he “instinctively” did by the Washington Post, Arredondo now pauses here to attend to the fencing. The official casualty count of 264 injured cannot be readily demonstrated in these photos, unless perhaps a far greater percentage of casualties could be evidenced where the second bomb detonated further down Boylston Street and away from the finish line.

Here is another shot of Arredondo still far more preoccupied with the fencing and scaffolding than the injured and maimed.

Here the fencing and scaffolding are wholly removed. Yet Arredondo has still not proceeded to assist Mr. Bauman. Further, while the entire area is swarming with uniformed emergency medical personnel, the would-be severely injured and traumatized Bauman is left unattended. A high resolution version of the photo above shows the precise time on the overhead timers for the marathon (over the road) as 4:12:06. This is 2 minutes and 23 seconds after the blast (timer reading 4:09:43 at time of blast). This is a very long time for the many bombing victims with reportedly lost limbs and devastating shrapnel wounds to be left unattended while potential responders who have been presented as unyielding and chivalrous defenders of the massacred struggle with fencing.

The series of photos suggests how it will be several more minutes before Bauman is taken to the ambulance. Why is it that proper medical personnel in the interim didn’t attend to the grievously wounded man? Perhaps this is nothing a dramatic photo shoot couldn’t take care of.

Boston’s Cowboy Hero Arredondo adjusts his hat as he finally locates and rescues Jeff Bauman, prior to accompanying him in the wheelchair.

The last photo which shows the timers is where they are being removed (why?). The time shown is 4:14:26 which is close to five minutes after the blast. In this photo Arredondo may be seen bending over where the injured lay, yet he is mostly obscured.

Thus in contrast to mainstream media’s account of Arredondo’s heroism, it appears that five minutes transpired before Boston’s Cowboy Hero escorted Bauman to hospital.

CCTV video capturing Arredondo’s valorous gallop to the ambulance with Bauman suggests that more than one take may have been necessary to produce the desired shots, including one with an awkward interruption midway through after Bauman unexpectedly lost what is left of his lower appendage.

CCTV video indicates at 3:05 that Arredondo escorted Bauman to the waiting ambulance–over six minutes after the ordnance detonated.

And finally a key photograph successfully captured that will strongly imbue the severity of the Boston Marathon bombing into the public mind.

In summary, in spite of there being ample personnel attending to the wounded at the bombing, and despite apparently having both legs blown off, Jeff Bauman was left completely unattended for at least 2 minutes and 20 seconds.

Then, after going so long without attention it is not even medical personnel who attend to him. He is instead in the care of a civilian in a cowboy hat who, after several more minutes, puts him in a wheelchair to wheel him to an ambulance. Why didn’t medical personnel take over at some point in time?

Why didn’t the ambulances go to the actual scene where the injured lay?  If the police vehicles can come and go, then why couldn’t the ambulances?

Is Carlos Arredondo really the hero US news media portray him as? Are such news outlets perhaps perpetuating a misconception? Did Arredondo really jump the fence and rush to assist Bauman? Or was this perhaps a contrived scene where Arredondo fulfilled a particular predetermined role? Was the apparently maimed man who would later play a key role in identifying the Tsarnaev brothers as the alleged evil culprits deliberately left unattended for a photo shoot? Why otherwise would Bauman be ignored by everyone including his valiant rescuer for so long?

Moreover, why have the major and even certain alternative media failed to forthrightly examine what appears to be an increasingly curious and implausible event?

The Why’s Of The Boston Bombing

There are surely several reasons “why” the did this false flag event. To me, enough focus (at least for the time being) has been made on the victims. Let us look at some detail that many might not know, then consider the why’s.

We (at least I) was under the impression that the now never discussed bombing fire at the library was somewhere else: no where near the race. This included a tweet from the Boston Globe that said “BREAKING NEWS: Police will have a controlled explosion on 600 block on Boylston Street“. But where is this place?

I don’t know about you, but I call that a “smoking gun”.

One thing we must admit to ourselves is that the media plays the game. Maybe sometimes in subservience, but also framing the mindset of people to believe certain aspects of the propaganda.

Reminds me of this:

But, B’Man, there were no actors, they were all real.

I dunno:

You tell me.

I suggest you read this post from the Memory Hole blog. Here is a snippit:

“For the most part we do not first see, and then define,” Walter Lippmann observed in 1921, “we define first and then see. In the great blooming, buzzing confusion of the outer world we pick out what our culture has already defined for us, and we tend to perceive that which we have picked out in the form stereotyped for us by our culture.”[1]

A founding member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Lippmann looked with suspicion to the potential dangers the hopelessly uninformed public posed in the unfolding “Great Society.”

Along these lines, a veteran hypnotherapist and mind control expert interviewed in 2001 by investigative journalist Jon Rappoport observes,

The media gives you the illusion that you are seeing something. That’s the billion‐dollar key to mind control … 90% of all the mind control in the world is done by the media, and it is all based on the viewer or the reader never seeing anything really beyond the surface of what is presented.”[2]

What exactly took place on April 15 at the Boston Marathon is unclear, yet what is now evident is a stark divergence between the narrative description of excessive carnage meted out as a result of the explosive devices and at least a portion of the video and photographic documentation of the bombing itself.

One more discrepancy that has hounded me, because the two brothers being framed for this has an uncle (Ruslan) that is unusually non-supportive. Dublinmick pointed this out to me (and you) in the comment section. It appears the guy once worked as a front man for the CIA:

As many know by now uncle Ruslan immediately denounced his nephews as guilty in the Boston bombing plot. I like many found this a bit unusual.

It seems Mr. Tsarni is a Duke 1998 law graduate and had quite a career before this. Tsarni according to the London Times helped put together a consortium of oil executives which bought Prince Andrew’s home. It is claimed the money was laundered. It came from Big Sky Energy Corporation where he was a top executive.

“From 1994 to 1996, Mr. Tsarni served as a consultant contracted by USAID for projects aimed to develop securities markets in Central Asia, where he trained corporate governance and corporate finance principals in state and private companies.”

There seemss to be some connection to “Kazakh President-for-Life’s daughter-for-life Goga Ashkenazi” who celebrated her 30thbirthday with a lavish party before a London scandal hit.

Some of you may remember the Crystal studded dress, fire eaters, peacock stilt walkers and vodka ice sculptures at the big gala with Prince Andrew and Goga.

“but organized crime boss Aziz Batukaev, who is also an ethnic Chechen, lived next door to the Tsarnaevs. Batukaev grew up and lived in Tokmok, but is now in Chechnya.”

OK, so “why”?

We have had an erosion of our civil rights every since the false flag event of 911 or even before. They always use fear to implement this. So, when you see this happening on the streets of America, you welcome the jackboots in (what real choice do you have?):

But Martial Law doesn’t work, you say?

(I should note that the comment the poster appended to the Youtube video reads: “Boston Bombing Lessons: Martial Law Doesn’t Work,” with a link to this. As I would hope regular readers here realize, this analysis is exactly ass backwards. “Martial law doesn’t work”? But surely, that depends on what the goal is, does it not? If the goal was control and ensuring obedience — and it was — it worked splendidly.

Listen to Lindsey Graham tell us one reason why we need to further give up liberties (what a POS).

Another disgusting character wants an immediate change to the Constitution:

“The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,” Mr. Bloomberg said during a press conference in Midtown. “But we live in a complex word where you’re going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change.”

There is so much more to go in to, but work calls. I’ll follow up this evening. Suffice it to say that we are forced into the slaughter room like cows. Its just sad that American Cattle Bawl For More.

The American Memory Ho’

Memory Ho’, cause they are screwing with our minds.

But the real memory hole is deep and wide and encompasses huge amounts of data irreconcilable by any thinking person. The movie 1984 addressed this and showed how documents were purposefully destroyed by sending them down the pneumatic tubes in the Ministry of Truth and then the writers re-wrote history to keep the public from knowing the truth.

A memory hole is seen by some as one of the common tactical and strategic operations of governments, particularly as a method of silencing those whose historical views are out of step with governmental or more popular views. As two seminal quotations note: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” — Inner Party member O’Brien in 1984; “Every government is run by liars and nothing they say should be believed.” — I. F. Stone

One would think that people could remember what actually happened in the early hours of certain tragic and monumental “attacks” on our country. And maybe it is this ability to remember that causes me to question so many issues that just disappear without much further evaluation. Maybe it is the seeming “unbelievableness” that certain governmental agencies might be instrumental in some of America’s worst moments that keep people from remembering what was first reported over and over again.

I have focused on 9/11 many times and pointed out various discrepancies that cause me to question the “official story”. But this is not a new phenomena.

Case in point is the Oklahoma City bombing of the Alfred P Murrah Federal Building. I remember vividly that day and the many reports during the first few hours that told one story which has miraculously disappeared since.

For instance, if I asked you how many bombs were involved on that fateful day, what would you answer? What type of bomb(s) was it?

If you read the Wikipedia link above, you will find the “official story” and a single paragraph that attempts to “explain away” another bomb.

At 10:28 am CST rescuers found what they believed to be a second bomb. Some rescue workers refused to leave until police ordered the mandatory evacuation of a four-block area around the site. The device was determined to be a three-foot (.9-m) long TOW missile used in the training of federal agents and bomb-sniffing dogs, although actually inert, it had been marked “live” in order to mislead arms traffickers in a planned law enforcement sting. On examination the missile was determined to in fact be inert, and relief efforts resumed 45 minutes later.

The following film based upon the TV coverage minutes after the bombing show a completely different story… a different number of bombs and bomb types… and the immediate control of the narrative that was implemented as soon as those in control could grab the media and make a new story.

Be careful, you might be described as a “conspiracy nut” simply by viewing the early news reports in an attempt to understand the truth about that day.
