Twitter: Former Bomb Tech On the Packages Sent to Leftists
Twitter ^

Posted on 10/24/2018 3:25:46 PM PDT by TigerClaws

(THREAD)

A few observations from a former bomb disposal officer (i.e. Me):

1. Proper pipe bombs don't have wires connected to both ends. That's dumb.

2. You can find timers / remote control receivers WAY smaller than whatever that white box is. A proper timer would best be stored inside the pipe, making it fully encapsulated. That thing is just silly looking

3. Bottom Line: Whoever made that wanted it to be painfully obvious to anyone and everyone that it's a "bomb."

This is nearly the same as a bundle of road flares wrapped together with an old-timey alarm clock ticking away.

4. "Hoax Devices" are FAR more common than real ones. In which case, we should ask ourselves what the motives of the "bomber" are and "who benefits?"

Go ahead. Think deeply and critically.

This was also meant to suppress and scare people from voting I think.

Needs more blue wire and red wires to agonize over which one to cut.

LOL !! Plus of course the large red LED timer display relentlessly counting down to zero ...

I also find it noteworthy that the package sent to the White House was addressed to two Democrats the sender had to know weren’t there.

Also, in previous weeks we’ve had threats with white powder sent by mail to Republicans.

This looks looks amateur hour to me, if real someone would be dead, it is moronic to think a package of any kind could be let through unnoticed. RAT tricks.

Karl Denninger of market-ticker.org. His take:
http://www.market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=234428

“This was obviously not mailed and yet it allegedly got into the “mail stream” — you can’t just walk into a commercial office building and magically make that package appear in the mailman’s delivery area. Never mind that for “common” businesses (like the one I used to run) the mail carrier is the one who brings that stuff up to your suite — not some building employee — because it is not at all uncommon for one or more mail pieces to require a signature or have some other form of supervised delivery.

Did CNN along with these other alleged “destinations” intentionally perpetrate a coordinated hoax to try to claim that “someone” is “bombing” them? Let me guess — those alleged “bombs” are full of kitty litter!

I don’t know if that’s true or not — but what I do know is that this package never went through the mail system and did not come into the building and enter the building mail stream via the USPS letter carrier.

There is no plausible explanation for how it came to be in CNN’s “incoming mail” given that the stamps on the alleged “piece of mail” are not canceled.”

Hillary, Secretary of State, with access to the biggest intelligence gathering forces in the world, had her own private intelligence operation in Libya.

Why?

What was she looking for that she didn’t want Americans to know she was looking for?

Libya’s/Qadaffi’s wealth.

To split with Soros and Obama and evidently Brennan.

She got it after having Qadaffi killed.

I see two possible explanations:

1. A far right wing extremist decided to try and bomb a bunch of left wing democrats two weeks before the national election, totally oblivious to the fact that the only possible effect it would have would be to fire up democrat voters who would have otherwise stayed home, and by pure luck none of the bombs went off.

2. A far left wing extremist decided to pretend to bomb a bunch of left wing democrats two weeks before the national election in a desperate attempt to fire up democrat voters who would have otherwise stayed home.

Which of the two do you think is more likely?

The Libyans realized what she had done.

They hit us at Benghazi to start the blackmail.

$6,000,000,000 comes up “missing” from the State Department.

It went as blackmail payoff to the Libyans.

Blackmailers always want more money.

I kind of doubt this is the DNC. It’s just too boneheaded and obvious. I think this is someone in the “resistance” who ate too many Sugar Pops and got a wild hair and did some freelancing. Either that or a prankster.

I also don’t think the caravan was a DNC production. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if it fizzles out, not because of Trump’s actions but because of massive pressure from the DNC and other American leftists on the organizers to call it off or scale it down.

I think we’re seeing the left in a state of max agitation which is causing some slips in command & control and coordination.

Just because it looks exactly like the last 300 false flags doesn’t mean it is another false flag.

FOX at least reported that the FBI would disarm it rather than just blowing it up with their own explosives which is commonly done with the unavoidable loss of forensic info - starting with fingerprints on any and everything, even DNA.

I’m in the false flag camp. Ooh - that looks like a bomb!

Letter bombs are usually designed to detonate upon opening which I know ONLY from reading the news.

Reviewing my post it occurs to me that the FBI/CIA/NSA could be behind this and thus know they needn’t blow it up but can report that it was a functional set of bombs - who could say different?

Do I trust any of these agencies? Not anymore - not for quite some time. Years and years.

Wow...now that's a CONSPIRACY theory! Go big or go home, as they say.

Do you believe that one?

She would have required an army to spirit away his fortune. That's a lot of people to keep quiet. Unless, of course, these guys were helping her get the fortune out...

Why would this scare people from voting?

I agree. The DNC launches deep covert ops like the silent coup to take out President Trump and the op to kill his SCOTUS nominations. This is just too ham handed for DNC. Probably a free-lancer as you suggest.

I agree, this is someone who has been influenced by the left wing machine into resistance. Trouble is, the next one might be an assassin.
I suspect that if the perp with this stuff is found dead from Arkancide, then it is from the DNC. But, otherwise it’s probably some National Association of Gals that wanted to help the cause...

Exactly — this is amateur hour stuff. The Dems are pros.
