A wave of bomb threats were reported Thursday against businesses, schools, hospitals and other places across the country — causing panic and evacuations, although all appeared to be hoaxes.

Police in cities nationwide reported threats, some emailed, some phoned in.

The FBI in a statement said they were "aware of the recent bomb threats made in cities around the country, and we remain in touch with our law enforcement partners to provide assistance. As always, we encourage the public to remain vigilant and to promptly report suspicious activities which could represent a threat to public safety."

Authorities in New York City were monitoring “multiple bomb threats that have been sent electronically to various locations throughout the city,” the New York Police Department’s counterterrorism bureau said on Twitter.

“These threats are also being reported to other locations nationwide & are NOT considered credible at this time,” the NYPD said.

***My money is on obama/hitlery/mueller/sessions***

Well, I won't include Sessions for now, but the timing is revealing. Just like the terror attack in France put an end to coverage of the yellow vests uprising, notice how US Prosecutor Huber dropped off of radar screens. Preempted last week by the Bush state funeral, turns out this week he simply declined to show up.

It is implied that such an appearance might interfere with important prosecutions... but that was not a problem last week! More likely the Democraps reminded Huber that they will run the committee in a few weeks, and his pension funds might get blown up in one of these bomb threats.

I believe we saw a glimpse of the deep state swamp critter octopus whose arms control much more than any one of us could ever possibly be aware or a basement dweller doing basement dweller things. Mostly I believe democrats are capable of all types of evil as are a majority of republicans. May God protect President Trump

Yes apparently the can be. If you spoof your IP address, you don't get a response back. But it would work for sending hoax bomb threats, where you don't need a response except in your bit coin account. So maybe it's Russia. Maybe it's the CIA implicating Russia.

DNS Attacks - spoofing IP Address

I'm thinking if bitcoin gets used this way, it's going to become illegal very quickly.
