Reports out of Massachusetts that two explosions took place near the finish line of the Boston Marathon!
Specifically there were two loud thunder like booms heard inside the Fairmount Copley Plaza Hotel. The hotel is locked down. Some reports say dozens of people injured.
If it’s not a gas leak explosion, and the ‘authorities’ are able to pin point the cause and who did it, realistically quickly, then that’s clear evidence ‘authorities’ at least knew it was going to happen.

“…..You might ask why the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation should come to the Pacific region. The answer is very simple.
Today’s NATO is a new NATO. It’s a NATO with a global perspective. It’s a NATO with global partners. And Japan is our longest-standing global partner…..NATO and Japan are like-minded……we can help the United Nations and the international community to reinforce the rules-based international system……we need common approaches and responses…….To confront global threats such as terrorism, cyber attacks, and proliferation…..And I am delighted that later today, Prime Minister Abe and I will sign a Joint Political Declaration to guide our future work.”-Anders Fogh Rasmussen, NATO Secretary General, from statement made on the morning of 15 April 2013, Japan National Press Club

Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention say they’ve identified a human carrier of the deadly H7N9 virus; a four years old boy!
The boy tested positive for the virus, but is not sick. The boy is the neighbor of the seven years old girl that became Beijing’s first human case of H7N9. She is sick in the hospital. The boy is now under quarantine in a hospital.
The four years old carrier was discovered after health officials tested 24 people who were in contact with the girl. Apparently he was the only one who tested positive for the virus. The families all raise poultry.
Up until this discovery Chinese health officials said they had no proof of human to human transmission.
