Pipe Bomb and Powder Delivered to CNN Were Harmless (per Law Enforce.)
AP / National Review ^ | October 24 | Jack Crowe

The pipe bomb and white powder that forced an evacuation at CNN headquarters in New York City Wednesday morning were harmless, a law enforcement source told the Associated Press.

The purported explosive device was similar in construction to those sent Wednesday to former President Barack Obama, former attorney general Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D., Fla.), and Representative Maxine Waters of California. A package containing white powder was delivered later in the day.

The NYPD said the explosive devices were live during a Wednesday afternoon press conference but subsequent reporting suggests they were not functional.

All of the devices carried a parody ISIS flag featuring comedian Larry the Cable Guy’s signature slogan, “git ‘er done,” NBC News reported late Wednesday.

Creating false flags using fake bombs is a symptom of Electile Dysfunction which is commonly experienced by low testosterone screeching twinks and cucks. This tragic disease can be cured by taking the Red Pill from Patriot Pharmaceuticals.

Of course they were harmless. The point was not to hurt someone. The point was to paint Trump supporters as more violent than ‘RAT supporters..

indeed, AP is trying to keep the story going, by first reporting the CNN powder was said to be harmless, but later reporting it’s not known if powder in Waters’ ones were harmless. the reporting is a disgrace, and my guess is none of the powder is explosives:

25 Oct: AP: The Latest: 2 suspicious packages addressed to Rep. Waters
9:15 p.m.
A law enforcement official says the pipe bombs that were sent to several prominent Democrats and CNN were packed with powder and shards of glass...
The official says each device also had a small battery, similar to a watch battery. The official didn’t say whether the powder was explosive...

7:50 p.m.
A law enforcement official says tests have determined that a powder found inside an envelope delivered to CNN along with a pipe bomb was harmless.
The official wasn’t authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity...

Why that was no fake bomb!

I could show you how to make that into a real bomb with only one extra ingredient and some duct tape!






First you take that fake bomb and you tape it to a stick of dynamite.....

I suspect that it did start as a Soros foundation plan, but then some college conserative kids got into the middle of this. Might be two different groups doing this.

The AP has not reported the pipe bomb sent to CNN was harmless. The AP did report the powder is harmless. Sloppy reporting by NRO.

Who uses TO: and FROM: when addressing a envelope? I met a friend for dinner at a local bar and when the story was on the local news almost everyone laughed at how absurd it was.

The Unabomber did, in a way. He didn't actually write TO and FROM, but used prepared labels that included them. He also used excessive "Old Glory" stamps on several of his packages.

IOW, the left did it but really didn’t want to hurt their own.

If it were some deranged nazi, or something, they would have made sure it were functional.

It's not uncommon to do that.

If you take a look at the USPS Priority Mailing box, it has that very thing on it.

Not a dud. It was a prop, not an actual bomb that is capable of detonating.

Good point. My girlfriend’s psychotic cat is more dangerous than any of these hoax devices. Anyway, he’s drawn more blood.

What was there 7 packages? If any of these bombs were any count then at least one would have blowed up.
