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 would bet any amount of money this is a false flag op. Again with all things evil and the left, I would check into Soros and or the dnc. The caravan and Kavanaugh backfired, so now they are going for the sympathy vote. Also if you look at history this is a leftist tactic, look at the 70’s with groups like the weather underground - Obama’s mentor was a leader of that group.

Where is he coming from?

From his superior but sadly inadequate self.

He's a self-styled conservative always on the lookout for an opportunity to deplore us Deplorables!

They must feel like they are safe from the FBI.

Hillary and Barry are, so why shouldn't they?

Even Ben Shapiro has false flag written on himself, and he still can’t read it.

A Republican bomb would likely detonate, these are indeed false flag fake bombs issued at the instigation of some leftist Democrat, who wants to control the “Democrats Create Mobs , Republicans create jobs” initiative.

But the fake bombs,fake news crisis is a created propaganda event.

Again the left has shot itself in the foot, as President Trump leads on the security issue.

A 50 Megaton nuke would barely be a suppository for this POS.

wonder how long it will be before they actually sacrifice one of their own lower level peons with a real bomb to make it appear real.

If I were an intern for CNN or something, I’d be getting the hell out of the mail room.

There's also no POWER SOURCE to detonate that "bomb." The timing device attached to the "bomb" is a bakery timer which uses nothing more than a common lithium-ion watch battery.

Even assuming the device was disassembled and PACKED with lithium-ion batteries connected in series, they STILL wouldn't have enough power to detonate any sort of bomb, period.

Finally look at the wires for the "bomb." They're just too far apart for any detonation charge to occur successfully. There's just no way any current from any type of lithium-ion battery pack short of that from a Tesla would successfully arc across an air gap, forget trying to make an arc across any sort of powder. Anyone with even basic electronics and an understanding of p=i*r would know this.

There really is only one conclusion for anyone with critical thinking skills and that is this: THIS IS A HOAX BOMB.

Shapiro is often good but he seems given to emotional overreactions.

I already bet three prominent people a dinner that the NPC behind this (if caught) will be rockin’ a man bun and/or Lenin beard in his mug shot.

Whoever is doing this is not helping Trump. But its too stupid to be a democrat. Its just a very stupid republican nutcase who is going to get caught soon.

The guy devised this plan a while ago. I figure it took him a while to make the bombs and find all the addresses. So this plan has been in the works for at least a year. He does not care that it does not help republicans, it probably hurts republicans. And it probably helps the recipients. They can act like soldiers coming back from battle. They lived through the crazy stupid republican bomber.

I don’t think it helps the “recipients.” It appears nobody’s buying it. Even if it wasn’t the Democrats doing it, people are just sick and tired of the media-driven political “drama” they seem to thrive on.

Someone with better interweb skills than me could make a meme of the caveman figuring this hoax out.

" The reason the stamps were not cancelled is that it never got past the Postal Sorting Center. Anything going to someone with Secret Service protection has their mail diverted to a special facility that can screen for just these things. "

The package sent to CNN would not have been diverted to a special facility yet the stamps were untouched.

There are some great meme makers here, but not me. Too lazy to learn how. Also enjoy the creativity of the freepers who post theirs.
