Bomb Disposal Officer: Today’s Pipe Bombs – Appear to be “Hoax Devices”...
Gateway Pundit ^ | 10/24/18 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 10/24/2018 5:02:55 PM PDT by markomalley

Several bombs were sent out to Democrat leaders Wednesday – none of which detonated.

The Secret Service announced that suspicious packages were sent to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

George Soros, NY Governor Cuomo, former AG Eric Holder, Rep. Maxine Waters were also sent mail bombs.

The return address name on the suspicious packages sent to Clinton, Obama, Holder and Maxine Waters belonged to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

One of the bombs appeared to have the ISIS flag taped on it.

Former Bomb disposal officer Tom Sauer posted a thread on Twitter today discussing the incidents.

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.

More from Tom…

I’ve seen these clocks before. They don’t have any timer function.

I agree, Fox News ad nauseum coverage all day was pathetic. They are buying into the narrative this was an individual or group.

What a stupid thing to say about the most obvious October Surprise in our countries history. No soup for Ben.

Which is why most people dismiss Ben Shapiro as a smarmy, arrogant ass.

Rightfully so.

The way the Trump administration has been finding leakers is by releasing information with slight changes to different people. The version that gets to the media is easily traced to the leaker.

The FBI seems to have known every mass murderer and terrorist for years. Did they know this one? Or the important question, did they teach him to make faulty bombs? If so, they already know who this is, they are just looking for him.

I don’t know why .. but McCain’s ‘Bomb Bomb Bomb.. BomB Iran’ keeps running thru my little conservative brain and I feeeel good.

Politics has gone from sublime to absurd in only a couple generations. Ol’ Roma has nothing over our decline.

Since I ignore Twater for the most part, I looked at a few profiles of lefty FB friends. Normally full of multiple lefty anti-trump posts. Nothing about the bomb scare, not peep. Hmmmmm.

Obviously three events have to be connected due to timing.

Mid term elections.
Fake mail bombs
Illegal caravan

The obvious connection would be someone connected with the illegal caravans is trying to help politicians in the US sympathatic to their cause. A false flag event with fake bombs that can be used to attack politicians attacking the illegal caravan. Explains the miss spellings. The wrong ISIS flag and the out of date people getting the fake bombs.

It’s obviously fake and obviously illegal to send. The real tell tale signs will be to see if anyone is arrested for it. If not then 100% this was a hoax set up by the Treason party.

Because you are irrelevant and don’t do anywhere near as much for the Conservative cause Ben Shapiro does.

Nothing like a little argumentum ad verecundiam to spice up a discussion...
