I know that movie scripts are not evidence of anything but you should watch the 2016 movie, Patriots Day. At the 1:12:50 mark the brothers Tsarnaev are driving a guy they kidnapped named Manny to his bank to force him to withdraw money from the ATM. Here is what was said:That seems a bit of a stretch?
Article: Before he stopped talking, however, the naturalized U.S. citizen reportedly "told the FBI that [he and his brother] were angry about the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the killing of Muslims there."
Article: Dzokhar, the surviving Tsarnaev brother, reportedly told law enforcement officials that he and his brother were inspired by Awlaki sermons available online. Awlaki, an American-born Muslim cleric who encouraged attacks against America and the West, delivered his ideology of extreme intolerance and violence to English-speaking online audiences for several years.
Now, maybe the writer of the screenplay was taking liberties with the facts. Nobody knows exactly what was actually said in the car that night. But it seems to me that the writer was trying to make the same logical point I made in my previous post. If charlatans such as David Hooper and Richard Gage were not involved in making false claims about 9/11 and trying to exonerate the terrorists, do you think the Tsarnaev brothers would have come up with their crazy ideas on their own?CAR RADIO: The Boston marathon tragedy is being described as the worst act of domestic terrorism since the September 11th attacks. However, unlike the attacks on the world trade center...
TAMERLAN: Fuck them! You know that's bullshit, right, Manny?
MANNY: Yes.
TAMERLAN: 9/11...
MANNY: Uh...
TAMERLAN: Muslims didn't blow up those buildings. The U.S. Government did.
MANNY: Yes, I know.
TAMERLAN: You know?
DZHOKHAR: Are you saying yes because you believe it, or are you saying yes because you don't want us to kill you?
MANNY: Sorry, I don't know who did it. 9/11...
DZHOKHAR: Yo, you need to educate yourself, dawg. For real, that's the problem with this country. No one knows what goes down. America is fake as fuck.
TAMERLAN: The government did all that shit. The government… to make Americans hate real Muslims. A lot of people who say they were at 9/11, they're all actors.
MANNY: I didn't know that.
TAMERLAN: Well, now you know.
DZHOKHAR: Of course you didn't. You're conditioned by the media.
