Jahar Tsarnaev, the so-called Boston Bomber — trust me, he didn’t do it — had his death sentence commuted to life. In March 2022, however, the US Supreme Court reinstated it. I have written a song to the tune of Charlie on the MTA, and am looking for a band to record it.
Later in this article, I show the insights that were had by Joachim Hagopian, while the courtroom was awaiting Jahar’s sentencing in 2015. The bombing occurred in 2013, nearly a decade ago.
JAHAR ON THE MTA
Music by Henry Work, 1865; Lyrics by Mary Maxwell, 2022.
(Sung to tune of “Charlie on the MTA,” as in this version by Isto:
- Massachusetts better LISTEN
to the story of Tsar-NA-ev
On that TRAGic and fateful morn.
There was NO way he could know,
That he and his Bro,
Would get BLAMED for a “Marathon bomb”!
O will he ever return, will he ever return?
What ACTUALLY occurred is unlearned.
It took masterful collusion,
To arrive at “execution,”
A SENTENCE that he DID NOT earn. [Poor Ja-HAR]
- As a sophomore, he had CLASSmates
down at U-Mass, Dartmouth
Who could give him an ALIBI,
They got rounded up real fast
And others were harassed.
So they COULD NOT TEST-I-FY.
Will the prisoner return? Will he ever return?
Some SAY that his chances are slim.
All it TAKES is one “OK,”
It could happen any day,
For his MURder to ‘LEGALLY’ begin. [Poor America!]
- Brother Tam was NOT ‘run over,’
and NObody shot him,
On LAURel Street, in WATERtown.
We saw TAM on CNN
(With a cop escorting him)
As NAKED as the day he was born.
Will TAMERLAN return? No, HE’LL never return.
His TWENTY-SIX YEARS are through. [Poor Tam!]
Could he BE a boxing star?
The family figured he’d go far,
And for TODashev, the same is true. [Poor Ib-ra-gim!]
[Guitar interlude]
- “We’ve caught the bomber SLEEPing,
in a backyard boat.”
The Boston GLOBE didn’t FIND that odd!
Campbell said “They KNIFED his neck,”
and by a miracle on deck,
Ja-har WROTE his confession, to God! [Poor God!]
Will he ever return? Will Maret’s nephew return?
His FATE is all-but-sealed,
Unless heaps of good PEOPLE
Stop acting like SHEEPLE,
And demand that the truth be revealed! [Poor Tsar-na-evs!]
- Deval PATRICK went to town,
with his mini-martial law,
He sent Humvees to MAKE us obey.
See, when BIGwigs who do crime
Don’t get indicted, or serve some time,
It’s ‘CURTAINS’ for the American way. [Poor Ortiz!]
Will happy times return? Of COURSE they’ll return,
(As Sean COLLIER’S case gets solved one day!) [Poor Sean!]
May you live to shake the hand,
of the Chechen who was damned,
And see him RIDE the M-T-A.
Jahar on the M-T-A.
Jahar smiling, on the M-T-A.
[Note: I need to find a band that is willing to record this song professionally. If you wish to sing it or play it, please contact me at MaxwellMaryLLB@gmail.com]
Hagopian’s Insights
I have only recently read an article that was printed on 12 April 2015, after the conviction, but before the sentencing, of Jahar Tsarnaev in US district court in Boston. It’s by Joachim Hagopian, who wrote it for Globalresearch.ca. He is a former Army officer and West Point graduate, now living in Bali.
The article is long, so I’ve reduced it. I was surprised to see how a disinterested observer was able to notice so many faults of the government’s presentation, virtually on the spot. Note: the headings for these sections were inserted by me, but otherwise I haven’t tampered with Hagopian’s prose in any way:
Dun Meng and Professor James Fox
Much of the testimony and so called evidence was based on the FBI and local law enforcement’s dishonest versions of events that were based near exclusively on the government’s one star witness’s faulty, changeable, non-credible accounting of events. The identity of this sole witness that even through the trial was never revealed, testified in court by his fake name “Danny.”
Later it was learned that Danny’s real name was Dun Meng. A Chinese national finishing his masters at Northeastern University in engineering, during his alleged carjacking, Meng claimed that the deceased brother Tamerlan confessed that he and his younger brother were responsible for both the Marathon bombings as well as the murder of the MIT campus policeman.
Throughout his trial testimony, the key witness maintained constant eye contact with what seemed almost like his handler, Northeastern University criminology professor James Fox. Fox clearly acted as Meng’s coach and gatekeeper.
Professor Fox was merely playing his part. And that part also included state propagandist. Samplings from articles he wrote for the Boston Globe, starting with his response to the difficulty of finding a cemetery that would accept Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s body. Fox wrote:
“I appreciate why many folks want nothing to do with the corpse of a man who apparently hated America and our way of life… If and when Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were scheduled to die, his name and image would be plastered all over the news, further increasing his undeserved celebrity…”
When the strength of the state’s evidence to convict and execute a man relies solely on one incognito witness whose tightly controlled testimony repeatedly kept changing depending on whom he talked to, how can a guilty verdict be considered legitimate or fair? [Meng] he kept changing his story on numerous occasions.
Was Jahar Tsarnaev Really Bleeding When in the Boat?
Dzhokhar was supposedly laying there nearly bleeding to death from the alleged gunshot exchange with police a few hours earlier. Yet on video footage the young man is seen emerging unassisted from the boat appearing bloodless and uninjured only to be admitted to the emergency hospital room in critical condition suffering from a deeply sliced neck wound that prevented him from speaking for weeks.
How did that happen while in police custody? And that came after a swarm of police shot a slew of bullet holes into the boat while Tsarnaev supposedly lay there gravely injured…. That barrage of gunfire into that boat by FBI and/or local police was also intended to kill the only suspect.
Backpacks and Judy Clarke’s “Admission” of Jahar’s Guilt
A number of paid mercenaries from Craft International, a paramilitary private security contractor out of Texas were also spotted in photos wearing those same black colored government-issued-like backpacks. The question of whether any of them laid their backpack and its contents on the ground never quite came up in the trial.
In Boston the unmistakable heavy presence of the military and special ops personnel assembled en-masse instantly on the scene after the marathon explosions is yet another giveaway indicating that the feds had something if not everything to do with this tragedy.
Photos of the shredded backpacks allegedly containing the bombs never matched the backpacks of the Tsarnaev brothers. But the fact that they did match a number of Kraft International private security contractors photographed at the scene meant nothing.
Tsarnaev has now been found guilty of all 30 counts after the jury’s 11-hour deliberation earlier this week. Despite his pleading not guilty to the 30 counts (17 carrying the death penalty), he was charged within a week after the April 15th bombing.
His lead defense attorney Judy Clark several days ago conceded to the jury that her client was guilty in her closing argument.
Tamerlan Died in Custody, Witnesses Were Removed
A series of photos of a naked and handcuffed Tamerlan were taken as the police placed him into custody and inside a patrol car. Both CNN and the Boston Globe reported that Tamerlan was alive in police custody. Yet the feds’ official line was that after the brothers robbed a 7-Eleven, Tamerlan was killed in the Watertown shootout with the police while Dzhokhar backed the car over him as he made his temporary getaway.
It can only be one or the other. The photos don’t lie. Cops do. For nearly two years all the potential defense witnesses were constantly harassed, deported, jailed, and even killed, thus, virtually silencing any chance of a fair defense for Dzhokhar.
Clearly it was a training exercise alright, Bostonians was used as a guinea-pig litmus test for assessing how a large US urban population of over a million people would react to a first practice, simulation dry-run of martial law in America, conveniently prepping us for what’s to come.
The 2012 National Defense Authorization Act upheld by the US Supreme Court a year ago now permits the US military to invade our homes without warrant, arrest us without charges, and imprison us indefinitely without trial, legal representation or due process.
The FBI’s Involvement
WhoWhatWhy has asserted that older brother Tamerlan was most likely an FBI informant. Through court motions last year Dzhokhar’s defense team submitted evidence that the FBI had approached the older Tsarnaev brother in an effort to recruit him to spy on his fellow Boston Chechen and Muslim community.
The US intel community has a verifiably long history both here and around the globe of seeking out troubled youth and young people like the Tsarnaevs as informants in its worldwide clandestine operations.
The FBI and CIA’s common misuse of paying informants to entrap others globally into joining plots of terrorism was well documented in researcher-author Trevor Aaronson’s book The Terror Factory: Inside the FBI’s Manufactured War on Terrorism.
Between 9/11 and 2011 he confirmed that 508 defendants were recruited by informants paid up to $100,000 in multiple sting operations. In fact, in all but only three high profile cases were the FBI and their informants not involved. …
Bomb-making “Evidence”
Of all the receipts for typical everyday items purchased, the only receipts found in Tamerlan’s pockets were receipts for his self-incriminating bomb-making materials.
That’s almost like finding the unblemished passport belonging to the lead 9/11 box-cutter a couple blocks from the towers’ ashes the day after, or the Hebdo gunman’s wallet with ID left carelessly on purpose in the cab so those terrorists could instantly be identified. …
The traces of bomb materials in Tamerlan’s apartment underwent the same flip floppy logic as a transparent prosecution ploy used to convict the younger brother. Three times the feds changed their tune on traces of the bomb material being found in the apartment and whether the brothers had outside help or not.
These discrepancies consistently went unchallenged by the defense during the trial as if pre-scripted to let the shady government off the hook in its back and forth rendition of “truth.”
More bogus, planted propaganda against the brothers shortly after they were identified as the prime suspects was the FBI claim linking them to the triple murder case in Waltham, Massachusetts that took place on September 11th, 2011. Only during the trial did it come out that there existed absolutely no evidence that Tamerlan was involved. …
Tamerlan’s Trip to Russia in 2012
The Tsarnaev brothers were supposedly on a no fly list acting as more evidence supporting prior contact with intelligence agencies, yet Tamerlan was permitted to fly to known terrorist hotbed Chechnya and neighboring Dagestan from January 21, 2012 to July 17, 2012.
His family members insist he spent his entire time with family, among them a distant cousin who heads a non-violent organization critical of Western policies toward Islam. Yet his visit was used by prosecution as so called evidence that the older brother was “radicalized” there and came home an inspired terrorist seeking revenge on America.
A New York Times article dated April 20, 2013 suggests that Tamerlan was first approached by the FBI in January 2011 after a return trip from Russia. Russian intelligence services that monitored phone calls in Chechnya warned the FBI in March 2011 that Tamerlan was becoming a potential threat.
Yet the FBI allowed him to travel yet again to Russia despite being on a no fly list and less than nine months after his return from that final trip abroad, the Boston Marathon bombings occurred. This damning piece of government evidence makes the feds minimally guilty of criminal gross negligence if not actually a criminal accomplice.
Killing Todashev
Yet another despicable chapter to this tragic saga is the FBI’s murder of Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s friend in Florida. Within weeks after the Boston bombings, an unarmed Ibragim Todashev was shot by an FBI agent previously reprimanded for excessive force as an Oakland police officer. Initially the FBI lied about the circumstances, falsely claiming Todashev wielded a knife. …
The Justice Department (overseeing the FBI) and a Florida prosecutor cleared the murdering FBI agent of any wrongdoing.
The official government’s response that in effect supports such egregious acts of violence toward innocent civilians strongly indicates that the victim knew too much and the crime syndicate’s answer for people aware of the feds’ evildoing is to systematically assassinate those who might incriminate the federal government. Neutralizing perceived threats is standard operating procedure….
— end of excerpts from Joachim Hagopian’s article
Note: It surprised me to see how Hagopian, in 2015, picked out almost the same items that I used when writing the MTA song for Jahar a couple of weeks ago. Granted, my song does not mention Dun Meng and his carjacking. I did originally write a stanza about that, but it made my song have six verses. When I realized that Isto’s singing of the “Charlie on the MTA” song had only five verses, I chopped Danny out, so we could use Isto’s music for a karaoke, so to speak. Please try it out!
