Incompetence does not counteract potentially murderous intent.

I, too, am thankful there's been no bloodshed, but we don't know enough yet to judge this. Time will tell, no doubt.

Also, many of us from various points of view seem to be thinking of the would-be bomber as someone who is competent and who did this logically and rationally. Whoever and whatever he is, that does not describe him.

He makes the bombs look scary, like something he may have seen on TV or online, includes some materials which correctly assembled and charged would have been lethal (I woke up to learn that crushed glass shards were also included), but then fails to ensure that the devices are explosive. He includes a silly mock-ISIS sticker for some reason - distraction? Misdirection? Or just because he thought it was funny or symbolic or had magical powers or was talking to him or - who knows??

Again, it's highly unlikely this character thinks in rational, logical ways. Keep that in mind when trying to figure this out. From what little evidence we have with the devices themselves, it looks as if paranoid schizophrenia may also be part of the package, in addition to other deeply disturbing issues.

But we'll all have to wait and see, and hope the FBi catches their man asap.

They usually describe the suspicious package in cases like that, and ask people to be aware and cautious. That's what was done in the Austin bombing case. They do not release photos of the package and the enclosed "bomb" during an ongoing investigation.

That said, even the right typically denounced those acts. What is sickening is we aren't denouncing the act and rather we are instead talking about how it was really a leftie who did it making it look like the right did it.

And to this I say anyone claiming it is a false flag are falling inline with another bias, that being the Availability cascade. Because the false flag narrative wasn't really out there until a number of conservatives put that notion out there and it quickly became an echo chamber of this HAS to be a false flag. This includes Limbaugh.

I do accept that there is a possibility and if it was a I'll say I was wrong, but the evidence of these potential attacks don't prove anything other than it was a failed attempt at terrorism and the bomb maker was an amateur nut regardless of their political alignment. I will say it is either a fringe right who believes that Soros is evil, CNN is fake news and that the Clintons and Obama family are enemies or it is some even more delusional leftie thinking an attack like this would benefit the left in the election. I say more delusional because they used Debbie Waserman Schultz as the return address for the John Brennan and I think CNN devices. Mainly because no typical leftie would do that.

My hope is we get this out and charge them with what 7 acts of domestic terrorism and subjected to the death penalty unless they are so derranged that they are unfit for trial.





Oklahoma City was a Janet Reno set up.
You should dig deep into that. McViegh had big ties in the CIA and FBI, even on their payroll.


Clinton was way behind in the polls and the ultimate False Flag.
Clinton would not have won, without OKC bombing and the media painting the republicans as the bad guys, when McViegh was not a Republican. He was a Deepstater.

It is all in the illusion....... The Democrats wanted.

No it doesn't. The only thing "pushing" the false flag narrative is the nationalist reactionary right wing in this country.

Again, what kind of idiot would send bombs to various people who are unemployed losers, or at least not in any administration any longer where they have any ability to affect policy? And send bombs that were 100% unable to explode?

A: Hate-filled Democrats who are desperate to pretend Republicans are the hate-filled ones, and trying to fool people into believing that Republicans are violent thugs and terrorists instead of themselves.

Trump is back to heavily bashing CNN today, one day after the bomb attacks.


Hateful speech directed at the news media from a self-proclaimed nationalist.


Trump has gone all in on Mussolini-style Fascism.

No false flag. Some nut is trying to divide us all and from what I see on here, it is working.
