My take is that this thing was designed as a hoax, not by the kid, but by his Dad who seems to be a non-stop runner for Prez of Sudan.

Second, his ‘sister’ who just happened to be in the same class also just happened to video the incident.

At best this was set up as an attention getter for the Dad’s current Prez run. At worst it was ‘trial run’. Whether a political hoax or a trial run, the kid like many muslim kids was the hapless pawn.

LOOK ITS SIMPLE.... HE MADE A HOAX BOMB....but
I’D LET THE FBI DECIDE IF IT COULD IN FACT BE USED TO DETONATE A bomb....

IF SO SORRY AMIGO THAT IS A BIG CRIME ....
and in TX its a crime to make a HOAX BOMB
so there you have it ...

HE SHOWS THE ENGLISH TEACHER.... WHY NOT THE SCIENCE TEACHER
WHY THE N A S A shirt..... not so subtle a message considering the duung beetle tasked NASA with researching what muslims contributed to society... still working on it .. nothing found to date ...

OH and his muslim dad is a muslim activist and of course CAIR and theother terror supporting and affiliated groups rush right in on cue...

S E T U P

obama the dung beetle to the rescue AGAIN for the possible criminal... so what’s new...

Muslims love to provoke infidels.

Look how Obama is trying to provoke Catholics by inviting all sorts of creeps, perverts, misfits and anti-Catholics to meet with Pope Francis.

This controversy over a digital clock is definitely a set-up designed to provoke a response that the family could claim as discrimination against muslims.

Don’t overlook the fact that the family has familiarity with electronics and technology.

Ahmed Mohamed’s father owns a computer repair shop in Irving, Texas and a solar energy business in Sudan.

More importantly, this was no ASSIGNMENT. He did it at home, and bought it in "to show off his engineering skills"... in English class... after being told to put it away after first period... and it went off... and it disrupted class enough that police had to be called...

It's a false-flag operation, set up by his activist father. There is no doubt in my mind.

What difference does it make whether this kid is a genius or an idiot? The fact is, he said he built something “that wasn’t much suspicious,” took it to school and scared the hell out of people. I believe he did it so 1. authorities would be much more respectful to the next jihadist who brings a real bomb to school and 2. the kid gets an American pity party and enough cash to subsidize his education in true bomb-building.

This has turned into an engineering story with freepers bragging about their know-how in clock-making rather than focusing on jihadist kiddies. Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees!

If we accept the story about “inventing” an alarm clock is made up, as I think I’ve made a pretty good case for, it’s fair to wonder what other parts of the story might be made up, not reported factually by the media, or at least, exaggerated.

Sums it up well.

The real news is that our president, and the CEO of Facebook are too stupid to know what true technical creativity is.

I know it sounds like a conspiracy theory, but I have come to the conclusion that a big circle of leftists was involved in this deal. Whoever sends out the regime’s talking points also sent out an outline of this scenario and assigned roles for the players.

“Whoever sends out the regime’s talking points also sent out an outline of this scenario and assigned roles for the players.”

I don’t think it has to be an active conspiracy. The folks in this scenario behaved reflexively to fulfill their respective roles. This can happen without a larger conspiracy. The teens father saw his opening, and took it - through his son.

We are so programmed with PC as a society that none of this needs to be a specific conspiracy.

The larger conspiracy is how to get the “muslims are good” narrative into the overall PC collection of foundational truths. This is how you do it.

And he has allies of course like Emran El-Badawi who assists with the Arabic Immersion school in Houston.

The creativity in this endeavor was all social - knowing the reaction to a collection of electronic parts, knowing how to frame it as a discriminatory event with Muslims as the victim, getting the press to react and knowing our muslim sympathizer president to react were a logical extrapolation.

Odd. My pencil cases don't look like those ones...

I put a piece of visco fuse in the hole in the end... so it "doesn't look suspicious".

Let’s cut to the chase here. If a white American boy/girl had taken a clock to school they’d still be sitting in jail and their parents lawyered up. That’s if the school’s principal did not call in a swat team and the kid get slaughtered for raising his hand or something.

Mr Kitty said that’s what the kid did right away. And that he did a bad job of it.

120 volt transformer with lose wires in a metal case. Could have a bad ending.
