Authorities are investigating a series of suspicious UPS packages across the East Coast - including one inside a delivery truck in Brooklyn, law enforcement sources said.

Cargo planes have been grounded at airports in Newark and Philadelphia and the NYPD bomb squad surrounded a UPS truck in at MetroTech in downtown Brooklyn, officials said.

"We're investigating what we believe is a possible explosive device on board that truck," said top NYPD spokesman Paul Browne.

Investigators believe an explosive device was on the truck, which was initially believed to be in Long Island City, law enforcement sources said.

However, detectives learned the truck left Queens and is now in Brooklyn. Authorities have surrounded a loading dock at 4 Metrotech, police said. The Manhattan Bridge was also shut down as a precaution.

Too many happening at the same time. May wind up being a gold-plated excuse for the Administration to cancel the November elections!

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — An ink cartridge coverted into an improvised explosive device was found on a UPS /cargo plane from Yemen to Chicago, CNN reported Friday, citing officials at the Transportation Security Administration. The bomb was discovered during the plane’s stopover in London overnight, the cable news station said. CNN also reported that several other planes are being checked at Newark, New Jersey and Philadelphia.

It sounds like they got some credible info about some type of device shipped via UPS from overseas and the investigation is targeting all UPS modes of transportation to find it.

The administration is far too incompetent to pull any of this off. This is hatched up by his globalist puppet masters. Question is, what is their aim?

Beware the false flag ops. I believe they wouldn’t hesitate to stop the elections. Been saying that all year.

Also I wouldn’t rule out them being real ops allowed to go through as planned, in order for them to suspend the election. They know about them, they let them happen anyway and use them as an excuse.

Imo....

These boxes placed in various places are both test runs to probe weak points and diversions to keep ‘the great Satan’s head spinning’ while the real attacks will occur elsewhere....my guess-oil refiners.

Death by a thousand cuts....

It will only serve to remind people of how the Rats are soft on terrorism.

It would be no help at all the Islamophile Democrats. Ticked-off Americans who want a strong defense know who to vote for.

Watch for the Democrats’ dirty election tricks while attention is diverted to the ongoing cable news attention to these happenings.

That is my thinking. Why do people think this would help the Democrats? What am I missing?

Are Dem polling numbers really good on terrorism or something and people think this is now a positive Democrat issue?

The election is not going to be called off.

This talk is making us look goofy.

This is all starting to seem very strange. The resident evil changes his India plans and is leaving early before the election and clinton’s going to be gone too and now this.

“Finding a bunch of boxes of potentials seems kinda lethargic for an actual event....hmmmmm”

But it ties up a lot of our resources, security, media, and enough of them (they probably think) could eventually make our people pay less attention (as in the little boy who cried wolf) and more complacent, before they make a large, devastating strike(s) for real.
