Thoughts on the "bombs"

Posted by David Hardy · 25 October 2018 09:45 AM

David Codrea has some. I'd add--(1) the bombs don't appear to have detonating mechanisms. (2) They are very small, maybe 1" pipe. (3) They have six stamps for six ounces, when they'd weight at least twice that. (4) None of the stamps are cancelled. If they were hand-delivered, why the stamps?

Looks to me as if it's a clumsy attempt to fake letter bombs, while actually ensuring they were harmless. Which suggests a false flag move. The stamps are added it wouldn't seem like a letter bomb without postage attached.

Most likely a clumsy false flag attempt, yes.

But suppose it's someone who...doesn't like leftwing leaders and figureheads.

Someone who realizes gun control does nothing to stop those who are committed to their cause.

The payload is not explosive, but informational: "Raise the blood tide, and it will not stop at your doorstep. Or your mailbox."

Why stamps for hand delivery? "These were delivered by hand, because you will receive them intact, and the postal system would track them. The real ones will destroy the tracking tags."

This was non-violent, even non-serious. It may well be false-flag. I can't really condone it.

But our Socialist Betters need to know what kind of people they're really dealing with. (Hint: American nationalists.)

Even with this, they will likely refuse to hear the message.

Made to blow up the net, and blow smoke up some kilts.

IMNSHO, the entire episode was orchestrated by the LEFT in an attempt to turn the election. The guy in FL is a fall guy. I believe these were made up internally and carried to specific people, most who are nobodies today, by hand and then a plan was hatched to call them in at preset times.

I looked at the photos online of 7-8 bombs" and not one has canceled stamps. But then maybe the postal service is complicit.

Many southern sheriffs, senators, etc. in the civil rights era claimed that the bombings of black homes and churches were staged by the NAACP, MLK, or even the FBI to gain sympathy for blacks.

Those conspiracy theory spinners look like idiots now. Don't repeat their foolish mistakes.
