Seems to me that it shouldn’t take long to find this perp.

re: ““Hand delivery” won’t mean very much if this is just a hoax bomb campaign. In that case it is all for show and doesn’t matter how they are delivered. That said, the SS says the ...”

Is there a reading comprehension ‘thing’ going on here? Or WHO are you trying to convince to your POV - me or you?

Those are first class stamps on the package in the photo. The post office always cancels those.

Not true. I'll find some examples at home and put them on an anonymous photo posting site.

Exactly, but as you know, DARPA has been pouring money into that project and they have developed charges that use even more powerful stuff than illudium. There are rumors of an admantium cased warhead full of activated unobtanium. I hope DiFiChiSpy hasn’t passed those secrets along.

The old school Communists of the early 20th Century and the Weathermen of the 1960s and 1970s could at least build effective bombs. Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and assorted SJWs are incapable of what their leftist predecessors accomplished. If the Deep State really wanted effective bombs, they would use Russian, Chinese, or Muslim agents to accomplish this.

Not true.

My sis spent her career at the USPS. I'll ask her.

One of my neighbors explained a lot of it to me, he worked at the local sorting facility amidst the machines. I mail hundreds of items so I needed to know when they would be machine sorted and when they would be hand sorted. That’s how I found out how things get bar coded (or not) and canceled (or not). Some of it is machines, some by hand. These bulky packages would be done by hand.

My impression, this is going to turn out to be a lone wolf “progressive activist” acting outside of the top down centrally controlled Democrat narrative much like the pitiful Avenatti. It will do more damage than it will help, as far as Democrat objectives, much like Avenatti. Heck, it’s so amateurish yet so desperate and splashy, has anybody checked into Avenatti himself? That’s totally his MO.

Uncancelled stamps will be reused therefore they are cancelled with a mark. Hand cancelled with irregular, nonstandard packages, automated with standard automatable mail.

There has to be video of this person(s) somewhere. It will be found.

I get entire batches of my mailings delivered uncanceled. Mainly that happens with postcards but also sometimes with envelopes. I also receive uncanceled mail from various junk mailers. It depends on how they mail it. Sometimes there will be a dozen old commemorative stamps on it that they bought for less than face value.

You seem to be trying to make the case that these hoax bombs were sent through the USPS. Is that what you believe?

“Investigators need to take a serious look at far left groups like #Antifa when investigating the bombs sent to Soros, Obama, and the Clintons,” he wrote in a now-deleted tweet. “These smell like the false flag tactics of unhinged leftists who know they’re losing.”

Someone jokingly mentioned Hogg as a possible suspect. I’m not suggesting that he is, but it occurs to me that a person or persons about his age may be responsible, due to the extreme amateurish character of the devices. And putting a “Cable Guy” fake Isis sticker on it sounds like something an adolescent would do. I can picture 2 or 3 teenaged boys giggling while putting them together, and one of them saying, “Hey, let’s put this red neck fake Isis sticker on it!” But then, they couldn’t coordinate getting them delivered the same day. That’s the puzzling part.
