You know . . . the one that looks like a suitcase bomb?
I want to remind you of a story that emerged in the aftermath of 9/11, because it demonstrates something about how people process information they’re given. When the first of the Twin Towers collapsed, or so the story went, there was a man standing on the roof. As the building went down, the man “surfed the building to the ground” and walked away. This circulated for a couple of days and was widely accepted as true.
But of course, it wasn’t true. No one can “surf” a building more than 100 stories to the ground and walk away. It’s absurd on its face, and once it was revealed as baloney, people who believed it felt like morons. But at a time when something has happened that no one could have quite imagined, your entire frame of reference for what’s real and what’s possible gets thrown into question. You become open to suggestions that you would never have considered because you’re simply not sure what to believe.
So let’s go now to the story of the moment, in which 14-year-old Ahmed Mohammed supposedly “invented a clock” and brought it to school, only to have teachers and other school officials freak out because it looked like a suitcase bomb. And since Ahmed is Muslim, well, discrimination, Islamophobia, blah blah blah. And needless to say, school officials and police didn’t help matters by actually handcuffing the kid in a clear example of what the Wall Street Journal’s James Taranto has long identified as the insanity of “Zero Tolerance” policies.
Some pretty interesting stuff FReepers and others across the net are digging up about the kid’s ‘family’.

This is about as far away from "building" something as you can get. He did no electronics, he just mounted something in a case.
I can’t watch the video right now, but I can’t help but notice that this is no more than a disassembled clock...as in Ahmed did not ‘build’ it. Rather, he disassembled a clock and put the parts into a pencil case. You can even see the connector for the 9 volt battery, that clocks have in case the power blinks.
So what is the purpose?
Better video makes it blindingly obvious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHk_6Vh4Qeo
Muslim cannot invent anything, never have. They only destroy.

By whom was it accepted as true?
Perhaps by the same crew who swore that it was brought down by explosive charges inside the building: aka truthers, but more accurately known as idiots?
Liberty News on the issue, dead on:
Ahmed Mohamed didn’t invent, build or assemble a digital clock, but he may very well have intentionally built a hoax bomb. Worse case scenario it was a premeditated act of micro-terrorism’/dry run aided and abetted by his paternal unit and God only knows who else. Intended to lower defenses under the oh…so…convenient cover of ‘islamophobia’. A tactic applied by stealth jihadists known as lawfare/legal jihad/litigation jihad.
Soften the targets by employing the left’s PC defense of anything non-WASP.

Sad part is, somebody at Google, MIT, Microsoft, and Facebook no doubt immediately recognized the hoax...but went along anyway.

Thanks!
Wow. SMH.
All this sounds like a Dry Run.
