Folks be all blowed up in Boston...

If you were planning an attack and heard over the loudspeaker that there was going to be a police exercise with extra interdiction personnel and a mock explosive set off, would you think it was a good idea to proceed with your own bomb with all of that extra scrutiny? You would if you thought what you were doing was part of the exercise.
What better way to strike fear into the hearts of a population then to make them feel as though the people that are suppose to protect them are powerless?
I am not claiming that this could not have been a bad government operation but your argument above does have its flaws.

It's no secret that newspaper circulation has been in the toilet for years. What better way to pump up circulation than by staging a bit of domestic terrorism?
We all know that William Randolph Hearst staged the Spanish-American war as a ploy to boost circulation, why should things be any different now?
Fact: All but one television station in NYC was knocked off the air by the 9/11 attacks, as their primary and backup transmitters were all located at the top of 1 WTC. Many radio stations also lost their transmitters or STL repeaters, and the studios of WNYC were heavily damaged. With most broadcasters unable to broadcast, people were forced to turn to newspapers to get their news.
Fact: No major newspaper had offices located in any of the structures that were destroyed by the
You do the math.

I do find it plausible that they were hired by the FBI, and WERE involved in some sort of bomb training that day, but actually set us up the bomb. Or something to that matter. Much more plausible than the current narative...if there is any, they really swept that story under the rug.

I dunno if I would go that far but obviously someone gave the newspaper creditable information about a "terrorist" bomb plot, as in the exact location and day of a bombing. This suggests some sort of prior knowledge of something--be it a terrorist plot, a coverup to calm the masses--something.

I'm starting to have a really hard time differentiating from when folks are being serious in this thread vs. when they're deliberately putting on their Jason hat.

The heavy FBI presence may have been due to the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing (typical gov't trick), having gotten a tip that something was gonna go down.
Then of course the coverup starts.
What's so far-fetched about the above hypothesis? It's probably more ridiculous to believe every line of the official story, and that the gov't never does crazy **** like that.
2 or 3 here involved the US gov't:

John Laughland: The Chechens' American friends | World news | The Guardian
From a 2004 article regarding Russian/Chechen violence:
From a 2004 article regarding Russian/Chechen violence:
By the same token, the BBC and other media sources are putting it about that Russian TV played down the Beslan crisis, while only western channels reported live, the implication being that Putin's Russia remains a highly controlled police state. But this view of the Russian media is precisely the opposite of the impression I gained while watching both CNN and Russian TV over the past week: the Russian channels had far better information and images from Beslan than their western competitors. This harshness towards Putin is perhaps explained by the fact that, in the US, the leading group which pleads the Chechen cause is the American Committee for Peace in Chechnya (ACPC). The list of the self-styled "distinguished Americans" who are its members is a rollcall of the most prominent neoconservatives who so enthusastically support the "war on terror".
They include Richard Perle, the notorious Pentagon adviser; Elliott Abrams of Iran-Contra fame; Kenneth Adelman, the former US ambassador to the UN who egged on the invasion of Iraq by predicting it would be "a cakewalk"; Midge Decter, biographer of Donald Rumsfeld and a director of the rightwing Heritage Foundation; Frank Gaffney of the militarist Centre for Security Policy; Bruce Jackson, former US military intelligence officer and one-time vice-president of Lockheed Martin, now president of the US Committee on Nato; Michael Ledeen of the American Enterprise Institute, a former admirer of Italian fascism and now a leading proponent of regime change in Iran; and R James Woolsey, the former CIA director who is one of the leading cheerleaders behind George Bush's plans to re-model the Muslim world along pro-US lines.
