— Ace thunderb asks a great question.
First, the background. The three friends of the Chechens arrested today claim they are innocent of any terrorist intent and only removed certain articles from the Tsarnaev's home to keep their friends from getting into trouble. So apparently they're copping to the lesser charges of obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting a fugitive but are claiming to have had no bad intent beyond helpin' out a pal.
Okay. So that's the story.
Now, here are the articles they removed and attempted to dispose of:
Two men from Kazakhstan and a man from Cambridge were arrested and charged today in the Boston Marathon bombings investigation, federal prosecutors said.Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev, both 19 and of New Bedford, were charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice by plotting to dispose of a laptop computer and a backpack containing fireworks belonging to bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the US attorneyÂ’s office said in a statement.
Robel Phillipos, 19, of Cambridge was charged with making false statements to law enforcement officials in a terrorism investigation, prosecutors said. All three began attending the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in 2011, the same university Tsarnaev attended.
...
Three days after the blasts, on April 18, the three men allegedly removed TsarnaevÂ’s backpack, which contained fireworks that had been opened and emptied of gunpowder, from his dormitory room.
Suspecting that Tsarnaev was involved in the bombing after authorities released surveillance video of the bombers that afternoon, the trio decided to throw the backpack and fireworks in the trash “because they did not want to get Tsarnaev into trouble,” according to an affidavit filed by an FBI agent in support of the charges.
On Friday, authorities recovered the backpack from a landfill in New Bedford. Inside, agents found fireworks, a jar of Vaseline, and a UMass Dartmouth homework assignment sheet, among other things. The homework sheet was for a class in which Tsarnaev was enrolled, the agent said in the sworn statement. It wasnÂ’t clear from the affidavit what happened to the laptop.
Vaseline? Why would they dispose of Vaseline?
I'm not trying to be crude here, but if you spotted a jar of Vasline in the room of a man, would you assume it was Evidence Against Him in a Bombing Crime?
Or would you assume it was for cosmetic purposes, or masturbation?
Why would you think that Vasline was evidence against him in a bombing?
Now, can Vaseline be used in making bombs?
Well wonder of wonders, Vaseline is in fact a common ingredient in homemade bombs!
I didn't know that. Did you know that? Maybe I've heard that once or twice on like 24 or something, but the use of Vaseline in home explosives (mix five parts Vaseline to one part explosive powder!) was not in my Active Knowledge Base.
Was it part of yours?
You know whose Active Knowledge Base apparently did contain this lethal bit of trivia?
The three people arrested today, who seemed to immediately recognize the explosive combination of gunpowder + Vaseline.
Just helpin' out a friend. Luckily for the Brothers Tsarnaev, these three college students just happened to also know a thing or two about how to make a homemade bomb, and so knew to dispose of the Vaseline.
Caveat: MWR catches me making an assumption I didn't know I'd made, but I did.
I assumed the three friends gathered the stuff and placed it into the backpack. In fact, we don't know that:
Just to play devil's advocate, the article doesn't say that these three people packed the backpack. It says that they chose to dispose of the backpack THAT CONTAINED the empty firecrackers.
Right, he's right, I made that assumption, and I have no evidence for it, now that I see the assumption.
It could have happened as MWR suggests
Update: Nope, the original assumption, while an assumption I shouldn't have made, does turn out to be correct. Per the affidavit, specifically Para 27 of the facts alleged, specifies that one of the three friends grabbed the Vaseline precisely because he thought it was used in bomb-making.
What a useful thing to know when you're collecting up evidence that might land your friend in the gas chamber. I guess some people are just lucky.
Corrected: I thought the three friends were also Chechens but commenters say at least two were Kazahks. And also, that all are male. I actually don't know so I've simply rewritten to avoid any characterization of country of origin or gender. I gotta catch up on this stuff, but I wanted to get rid of the apparently-wrong information first.

Why throw away a homework assignment sheet? All the article says (in itself, maybe there's something else I'm missing, though) is that the friends (I agree: likely accomplices) threw out the backpack which happened to contain the bomb-making matterials, including the vaseline.
You are assuming one of two facts not in evidence: that the friends packed the backpack themselves from the stuff in the room (and chose to include Vaseline, but also a homework assignment?), or that they were at least aware of its contents (though, even there, all that would say is they didn't remove the things from the bag which would not be incriminating).
Now, if they did pack the backpack themselves (which they could have, certainly) then that's evidence that they were involved (as you point out, who but a bomber looks at Vaseline and thinks of bomb-making?). If they did not pack it, then it is only evidence that they aided a criminal and obstructed justice.

Nothing to see here, Move along folks.
All is well. All is Well.
The finest minds in the DOJ have determined these are lone wolf bombers. There is no conspiracy. There was no master bomber teaching speedbump how to make a bomb. There were no foreign governments that tried to warn us.
These two are an isolated incident that have nothing to do with religion or beliefs.

Three days after the blasts, on April 18, the three men allegedly removed TsarnaevÂ’s backpack, which contained fireworks that had been opened and emptied of gunpowder, from his dormitory room.
It's entirely possible Dzokhar had put the vaseline in the backpack with the firecrackers himself (all his bomb making paraphernalia in one place), and the "friends" just threw the whole thing out without putting anything else in the bag, nor taking anything out.
Like I said, Devil's advocate.
First, the background. The three Chechens arrested today, including the female with the "Terrorista #1" license plate,
Was a woman arrested? The story references three men, not any women.

Jikar also tweeted the suspects after the bombing, saying he was leaving and
"if you need something in my room, take it"
perhaps a signal to them he was bugging out and to destroy the evidence?

Russia
Chechnya
Durgostan
Turkmenistan
(some other country ending in)-stan
So I just assume they'd do the same with any other central Asian -stanis.

>>>There is flavored Chapstick. Does flavored Vaseline exist? If not, why not?
Because if you could suck your own dick you wouldn't need the Vaseline.
Posted by: garrett at May 01, 2013 11:27 AM (CZcCU)
I didn't know that. Did you know that?
Yes. Vaseline-soaked cotton balls are often recommended for bug-out bags as a fire starter.
I already have almost a dozen methods of starting a fire in my bug-out bag so I don't need the oily balls myself, but it is a thing.
Posted by: BlueStateRebel at May 01, 2013 03:11 PM (7ObY1)
The vaseline also serves to waterproof the cotton balls.
Stuff a drinking straw with vaselined cotton (I use dryer lint), seal off the ends with a lighter. Clean and easy to carry.

I wouldn't put it past Speedbump's loony jihadi of a mother to call out a death fatwa on her daughter in law if she goes apostate. And considering the Tsarnaev's Cambridge mosque is a hotbed of terrorists-in-training (it really is), it would probably be carried out.

I think cabella's et al keep records of high consumption of powder...some states require pyrodex et al to have ID....
I suspect if they are unsophisticated they feared interdiction and if sophisticated they feared using a credit card...
ie THE BACKING
if they had backing from an org that used credit/debit the fireworks will be statistical noise but the reloader database is narrow....
say they bought the fireworks with C/C at a fly by night firework shop...
records go "poof" if the business is sold or dies....

This. If the affidavit is to be believed -- and why the hell wouldn't it be? that's kind of the point -- then yeah. Definitely conspirators. No one -- not even a couple of dozy Kazakhs -- is going to assume a jar of Vaseline in a college boy's dorm room is "bomb paraphernalia" except people who know about bombs.
Posted by: MWR, Proud Tea(rrorist) Party Assault Hobbit [/s][/i][/u][/b] at May 01, 2013 11:38 AM (4df7R)
In the affidavit, it states that the backpack contained fireworks and the computer, and that the three idiot Kazakhs placed the vaseline jar in it.
The affidavit says that they recovered the fireworks, the vaseline jar and a course schedule...but is conspicuously silent on the computer.

Vaseline can be used before you put metal parts together.... to stop a friction caused spark...
Vaseline is also good for keeping needle bearings together in manual transmission rebuilds. It dissolves right in with the gear lube when you're done.
You can also coat your battery terminals with it to prevent corrosion.
And it cures diaper rash.

Good for lubing end caps on pipe bombs before screwing them down. It keep small particles of the explosive squashed in the threads from acting like a primer and setting the whole thing off. Liquid dish soap will work too.
The first cap you get for free cuz it can be screwed on prior to loading, the second one is crunch time.

Political post: a "senator" on one of the Kazakh region's legislative/executive organ - maslihat.
Business: Closed private equity company of some sort. From the scant info works in commodities market, banking.
As you see, the kid is from a wealthy politically connected family. Whatever else comes out later, let it never be said, he's from "a war torn country, poor refugee family".
P.S.: there are a lot of links, all in Russian, so I gave you just one that mentions his father's name.

Not gonna work. Pigeons are akin to the FSA.
Well the FSP is now closed. They don't have sense enough to open the peanut shells, so the squirrels can still get their fill. The birds will have to find another sucker...

Heh, I'm of the intention group of Catholics. Using BJ's as a form of contraception=bad. If your intention is just to get busy with your wife and have some fun, look at the overall activities not an individual one

It keep small particles of the explosive squashed in the threads from acting like a primer and setting the whole thing off. Liquid dish soap will work too.
I don't even want to know how you know that.
Amato DeLuca, the Rhode Island attorney for his widow, Katherine Russell, said Tuesday that his client had just learned that the medical examiner was ready to release Tsarnaev's body and that she wants it released to his side of the family.
That jibes with what I heard this morning. She's back using her Maiden Name (Katherine Russell, instead of whatever she'd changed it to), and she doesn't want the body (why "his side of the family" if she was going to stay Muslim?)

I actually figured you somehow made a paste out of the powder with it to spread out the charge. (A sort of static misting if you will.)

Web page supporting leftist who faked hate crime against herself and admitted to it to the police.
“Meg Lanker-Simons is innocent we believe what she did was justified and deserves not to be held accountable for her accusations we stand behind you sister"

Some real deep thinking there. She is innocent, but they believe "what she did was justified"? Must be some sort of joke.
BTW, she successfuly sued the university after it withdrew it's speaking invitation to Bill Ayers.

You can use it as a blast magnifier the problem is that the distribution has to be near uniform or it can interfere with the shockwave that starts the ballistic glide.

My question is this. These must be some really stupid muzzies. Why the fuck are the 3 new suspects still in the country? They didn't even try to escape.
I would have been watching this on tv in Canada, Mehico, or even someplace in Crapistan.

If it has the university's name on it, I frankly have no problem with them banning whatever they want.
Of course those actions have consequences as well, especially if you promote "free exchange of ideas" as an ideal.

My last First Sergeant was a LRRP in 'Nam. His Silver Star citation prominently mentioned that he used burning C4 chunks from a claymore to mark out an LZ for night extraction, all while under fire from the NVA.

FBI agents in this Administration understand that if they begin looking into any muslim in a terror case, they better darn well find a smoking gun very quickly or the political overseers will not only quash their investigation but also their careers. No wonder they "found nothing" either time the Russians gave us a heads-up about Speedbump Tsarnaev, absent a confession or catching him with a bomb in his hands, that was their only "correct" finding.
Hang the traitors, starting at the top.
