No doubt in my military mind that this is a desperate, false flag event, concocted by the RAT Party.
Over the past two years, they have proven to be mindless obstructionists, living in a make believe world where everyone hates Trump and the Russians Did It! They have not been able to comprehend, let alone counter a Republican President who fights back.
They are now unable to deal with a Republican Leadership with spine and testicles. Kavenaugh wasn’t supposed to turn out the way it did. The Caravan, actually the “Terrorvan” is blowing up in their faces. Early voting is looking frightening. I suspect that their internal polls are terrifying.
None of these “bombs” was supposed to detonate, except in the MSM reports.
One of the last, desperate acts of a terminally ill political party that has lost its soul and its way.
I agree that we must wait until all the facts are in, but we can still speculate. I am not one to rule in or out anything completely without appropriate evidence, but with the information coming in that this is a hoax, one has to look at it with a certain viewpoint:
If it is a hoax, why would someone do this? Why would someone perpetrate a very public hoax instead of sending real bombs to do real harm?
Cui Bono? (Who benefits?)
NORMAL CONSERVATIVE: No benefit. None. No reason to do it, even for the most dimwitted or reality challenged of conservatives, to hoax this type of thing, even as a joke or to sow fear. Violence is not the tool of conservatives. We don’t roll that way, though the Left tries to portray us otherwise even when there is no evidence to support it and vast evidence to dispute it.
FAR RIGHT WING: Possibly to sow fear or as a joke, but the benefit is so outweighed by the risk that even for a rabid far right winger, this seems like a stretch. If they were REAL bombs, real inflicted harm could be a motive, but these are fakes. This is possible, but unlikely.
MENTALLY ILL CONSERVATIVE: Even trying to view it from the perspective of someone who is mentally ill is difficult since their view of reality may be quite different from ours, it seems hard to comprehend. Again, these people would more likely want to inflict REAL harm than hoax it. But I will not rule this class out, as it is possible.
GOOD HEARTED LIBERALS: It is important to make a distinction with my definitions because I generally view two out of three categories of Leftists as mentally ill: “Good Hearted Liberal” is someone I identify who is from the least radicalized and reality challenged part of the Left. These are people you know socially, from work, or from Church. They are often simply ill informed, or haven’t take the time to think things through. I think we can rule out these people, as most are pretty “normal” and can often be talked to. They aren’t radical. There is no benefit to them.
THE TRUE BELIEVERS: These are the most delusional and dangerous inhabitants of the Left. These people are the cannon fodder and foot soldiers of the Left, usually motivated by the next and most dangerous group I categorize below, The Hardened Left. These people are the MoveOn, Code Pink, Black Lives Matter types, the majority of the Media types, and they inhabit the campaign staffs of candidates and the real staff of elected politicians. They really DO believe the Social Justice Warrior, racial, sexual, and other crap used as tools by The Hardened Left. In my opinion, these are the people who believe in their hearts there would be benefits to having fake bombs delivered to Leftists. They have demonstrated time and time again, from videos taken at Leftist rallies/protests, to the Veritas videos by James O’Keefe, that they have no value system that would prevent them from doing this. They brag about lying and deceiving voters, “bird-dogging” conservatives to prod them into violent reactions that they attempt to record (Veritas videos, and I have been an obvious target of this at a Sarah Palin rally) deliberately enlisting mentally ill people to go to conservative functions to provoke trouble (Veritas videos they brag about this practice) employing muscle to provoke trouble (Veritas videos) and at the root of it, that they subscribe to the gospel of Saul Alinsky, who is immoral enough to write a dedication to Satan in his infamous “Rules for Radicals” which is the bible to many on the Left. This group clearly has motive and desire. They are frustrated to the point of actual violence and calls to actual violence that we have seen and heard. They are arrogant enough to believe they are clever enough to pull this off.
THE HARDENED LEFT: These people are not delusional, but they are the most dangerous of those on the Left. These people don’t believe any of the Social Justice Warrior, racial, sexual, and other crap they use as tools. They use those things as tools to motivate the previously described “True Believers” and to convert weak-minded people to their cause to be used to their purpose, the attainment, wielding, and possession of raw power. These people understand completely that Leftism is all about power and control. These people may fully be engaged in the possibility and use of practices and execution of things like this hoax, but they would be careful never to do it themselves. Their part would be to egg on and tacitly (though likely never overtly) support the “True Believers” who would willingly engage in this type of hoax.
THE FBI/DOJ/CIA: These are possible, particularly the FBI/DOJ, because when the SpyGate scandal really explodes in their face as it is 100% going to, they have a vested interest in swinging the elections in some way to bury it. However, I have a hard time believing they could do this so incompetently, especially with them under the Spygate spotlight. We shall see.
In summary, I currently believe it is someone on the Left who is a “True Believer” who perpetrated this, knowing full well their allies in the media would be willing accomplices in achieving the goal of “Changing The Accepted Narrative”, with the possibility of a Mentally Ill Conservative running second, and the FBI/DOJ running further behind.

Dan Bongino has stated accurately that a deviance from the “Accepted Narrative” about a politician or a class of politician is what is most damaging to them, and uses an example of why Trump was not damaged by his comments about grabbing women by the crotch or paying off a hooker to be silent, but the Left is very concerned about damage to them through the fact that they advocate mobs and violence.
Trump is generally accepted by all on the Left and many (if not most) on the right as a flawed person. We know he stretches the truth as a tool. We know he has likely been involved with women he is not married to, including even a prostitute like Stormy Daniels. We know he is profane and quick to shoot from the hip. So when it came out that Trump had an agreement with Stormy Daniels, it was not much of a deviance from our “Accepted Narrative” on Trump. It didn’t damage him.
For the Left, it is quite a different thing. The FACTS (”Accepted Narrative”) show clearly that the Left is an open advocate of mobs, violence, lies, desecration of justice. Everyone sees it. But what is the “Accepted Narrative” that the Left tries hard to foster? The “Accepted Narrative” that they are moral, good, and filled with justice, so the deviation from that is quite damaging to them, and they understand fully what the effect that might have in the upcoming election might be.
When normal people saw Cruz and Sanders being verbally assaulted by leftists while peacefully eating, they saw Justice Kavanaugh being unjustly lynched by the left on a public stage, and so on, they were repulsed by it because it deviated from the “Accepted Narrative” the Left works so hard at fostering.
So, while they cannot change the “Accepted Narrative” on Trump (which means candidates he supports are more likely to be successful) they see their best chance at limiting damage in the election by forcing a deviation of the “Accepted Narrative” of conservatives from law-abiding, constitutional, and tolerant to violent, unconstitutional, and intolerant. Is it any surprise that we see this kind of thing happen as the election approaches? Also, very public reports of some right-wingers being convicted of violence? Is it a coincidence?
I was initially inclined to view this as a “False Flag” operation, as I am initially inclined to view nearly any campus-originated episode of racist behavior as a hoax, but in this case, I was far more inclined intellectually to reserve judgement until more information came in. With the revelation that these bombs are hoaxes, that the one we saw was delivered with no postage, etc. I am far more receptive to a “False Flag” operation by the “True Believers” of the Left than I am to believe it is even a mentally ill conservative who did it.
