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 theyre 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 wasnt true. No one can surf a building more than 100 stories to the ground and walk away. Its 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 whats real and whats possible gets thrown into question. You become open to suggestions that you would never have considered because youre simply not sure what to believe.
So lets 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 didnt help matters by actually handcuffing the kid in a clear example of what the Wall Street Journals 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 didnt 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.
Simple as 1,2,3

Sad part is, somebody at Google, MIT, Microsoft, and Facebook no doubt immediately recognized the hoax...but went along anyway.
Later
Thanks!
Wow. SMH.
All this sounds like a Dry Run.
