Shortened title. Full title: he instant, inevitable cries of 'false flag’ after bomb threats targeting the Clintons, Obamas and CNN We knew nearly nothing, except that the Secret Service had intercepted “potential explosive devices” targeting the Clintons and Obamas, while investigators also looked into a suspicious package at CNN’s New York offices. Days earlier, authorities found an explosive device in the mailbox of liberal philanthropist George Soros. We did not know who sent them, or why, or what exactly the potential devices were. But John Cardillo, a right-wing media personality, was already tweeting out his suspicions.

Between October 22 and 24, 2018, suspicious packages were received at multiple locations in the New York and Washington, D.C., areas and Florida. The packages are being sent for analysis at the FBI Laboratory in Quantico, Virginia. “This investigation is of the highest priority for the FBI. We have committed the full strength of the FBI’s resources and, together with our partners on our Joint Terrorism Task Forces, we will continue to work to identify and arrest whoever is responsible for sending these packages,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray. “We ask anyone who may have information to contact the FBI....

New York police evacuate the Time Warner Center, in which news outlet CNN is located, to investigate an explosive device. The offices of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida and Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., are also evacuated after reports of suspicious packages.

The Associated Press deleted two tweets sent Wednesday morning reporting that "an explosive device had been found at Hillary and Bill Clinton's home," after the news organization concluded "the information was incorrect" and the device "was intercepted at a nearby facility." "We’ve deleted two tweets from earlier today saying that an explosive device had been found at Hillary and Bill Clinton’s home," the AP tweeted to its more than 13 million followers. "The source who provided the information was incorrect. In fact, the device was intercepted at a nearby facility." The Secret Service said Wednesday it discovered a potential explosive...

A few observations from a former bomb disposal officer (i.e. Me): 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. "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. 4. Bottom Line: Whoever made that...

This is the supposed 'bomb'.Observations: TWO wires? That's Road Runner Show material. Two wires doubles the chance of a screwup. A skilled operator would put ONE wire in ONE end, that wire consisting of two leads. And put each wire on OPPOSITE ENDS? What, are you planning to run current through the entire payload? How about you simply run the one wire to a detonator device? And look at the timer. It's HUGE. You could definitely get the same job done with a much smaller, much more efficient device... and even pack it into the pipe. This setup screams "Look...

Donald Trump Jr. vigorously defended his father on Thursday in a response to CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s attempts to pin some culpability for this week’s mail bomb scare on the White House. FBI agents are still examining mail bombs sent to former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, CNN and a host of other high-profile Democratic individuals this week, but the blame game regarding the motives of a still-unidentified suspect are in full swing. “Trump talked about the bombs sent to former public officials at his rally in Wisconsin,” Mr. Acosta tweeted Wednesday evening. “But once again...

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told Fox Thursday that President Trump “could not have been more presidential” in his response to the suspicious packages mailed to the Clintons, Obamas, and other prominent Democratic lawmakers who have been critical of the president.Sanders was responding to a tweet from former CIA director John Brennan telling Trump to “look in the mirror” over the bomb scares and accusing him of “inflammatory rhetoric, insults, lies, & encouragement of physical violence.” Stop blaming others. Look in the mirror. Your inflammatory rhetoric, insults, lies, & encouragement of physical violence are disgraceful. Clean up your...

Will Chuck Todd be given a stern talking to by NBC for straying from the official liberal media line, which is that the pipe bombs were the work of a Republican/conservative? On Thursday's MTP Daily, Todd floated a novel theory: "I have this fear that it could be some Russian operation, too, designed to do what's happening now. More of this -- so in some ways we should not rule out -- it is dividing us." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

The man arrested Friday on suspicion of mailing a dozen pipe bombs to President Trump's political enemies formerly worked as a male stripper, his former employer told the Washington Examiner. Event promoter Tony Valentine said he hired Cesar Sayoc in the 1990s to strip on multiple occasions in Ohio and that Sayoc traveled the country for similar appearances. "He really couldn't find his niche in life, and I guess he found it now," Valentine told the Washington Examiner. "Back in the '90s, he was running around from Minnesota to the Carolinas to Florida. He was like a gypsy."

A Florida man who pleaded guilty to mailing improvised explosive devices to prominent Democrats and media figures was sentenced to 20 years in prison Monday, according to The Washington Post. Cesar Sayoc pleaded guilty to mailing 16 inactive pipe bombs to several prominent critics of President Trump, including 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, former President Obama, actor Robert de Niro and liberal financier George Soros, as well as CNN ahead of the 2018 midterm elections. U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff imposed a lighter sentence than the one recommended by prosecutors, who called for Sayoc to be sentenced to life...

Former bodybuilder, male stripper and South Florida pizza delivery man Cesar Sayoc, accused in October of mailing pipe bombs to critics of President Donald Trump, appears ready to plead guilty in federal court in New York. The online court docket for Sayoc’s case says, “The pretrial conference scheduled for March 21, 2019 at 4:00 p.m. is now a plea.” To which charges Sayoc will plead guilty isn’t addressed. An email and a call to the federal public defender’s haven’t been returned. Sayoc sits in federal jail in Manhattan. He faces five counts of use of weapons of mass destruction, five...

What is going on in Opa-Locka, Florida? The same mail processing facility that is allegedly holding uncounted absentee ballots, was also responsible for sending Cesar Sayoc’s fake pipe bombs through the system. The postal service is currently investigating ballots mailed through the Opa-locka processing center, as reported by The Miami Herald:

Thursday on The View, the liberal hosts grilled their guest, FNC's Geraldo Rivera, for comments he made about the pipe bomb suspect, and the media’s attacks on President Trump. Rivera, who's not a conservative by any stretch of the imagination, still took heat because he defended President Trump and called out CNN for being partisan and biased. The interview started with Rivera disagreeing with the president about immigration and the caravan but he quickly got into a heated argument with the liberal hosts once they started talking about the mail bombs and the media. Co-host Joy Behar asked about Rivera’s...

Look, there is no doubt that Cesar Alteiri Sayoc and his fake bomb plot were nothing more than a false flag operation. In fact, there is some evidence that may point to the fact that he might just be involved not only with the Democrats, but with the Central Intelligence Agency, as well. However, as we reported earlier, the most notable feature of the entire scene of this false flag was the allegations that Sayoc had been a Trump supporter for nearly two years and yet, the stickers all over his van not only violated the law in the state...

Speaking Wednesday night at a rally in Fort Myers, Fla., President Trump condemned the "far-left media" for "once again using tragedy to sow anger and division" shortly after his visit to Pittsburgh in the wake of Saturday's deadly mass shooting at a synagogue there. The approximately 8,500 supporters in the crowd at the Hertz Arena erupted in a chant of "CNN sucks" as Trump paused. He then accused the media of overblowing a protest in Pittsburgh during his visit, and "doing everything in their power to play it up and push people apart." CNN host Don Lemon was fiercely criticized...

Twitter allowed Cesar Sayoc, the man who allegedly sent apparent bombs to public figures around the country this month, to post more than 240 threats towards 50 different people on its social network without sanction. Meanwhile, the media managed to temporarily force free speech social network Gab offline after it was revealed that the Tree of Life Pittsburgh Synagogue shooting suspect had an account on the platform. According to CNN, an analysis discovered that “Sayoc tweeted more than 240 threats directed to at least 50 public officials, news organizations and media personalities.” “The threats, and Twitter’s apparent inaction regarding them,...

Is this evidence that Daniels and Sayoc, and possibly Michael Avenatti, are involved in a false flag operation to destroy President Trump? Shouldn’t that possibility at least be investigated? See also here. Shad Olson captured Sayoc’s Facebook page before it was scrubbed, and found that until 2016, Sayoc was a hardcore leftist who posted memes of George W. Bush with blood on his hands (above) and the like. Then he suddenly became a conservative Trump supporter, with no hint of a change of heart?
