Feds investigating suspicious packages sent to the Clintons and Barack Obama
The U.S. Secret Service said Wednesday that "potential explosive devices" were sent to former President Barack Obama and ex-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
A law enforcement official told The New York Times that the "explosive device" sent to the Clintons' home in Chappaqua, New York, was found by a technician who screens mail for the former president and his family.
The Secret Service said in a statement that the package addressed to Obama was intercepted by agency personnel in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday morning.

So this is the Democrats' October surprise: a false flag attack.
My thoughts exactly...

Total BS.
-
My thoughts exactly. Rats riffing off the 'jobs not mobs' line.
You guys are exactly right. Even my local radio guy opened this morning saying it’s a fact, these bombers have never been right wing guys. The last 50 years it’s always been leftists; and isn’t it interesting how CNN has been desperately reporting story after story last few days trying to defuse the jobs not mobs meme as the president has been reinforcing at rallies and in social media?
Now suddenly in a matter of days a right wing bomber shows up?
It’s patently obvious what’s going on here.
-
Word is now that one went to the White House, Soro's house, and CNN.
-
Total BS.
They’re going all out on this counter meme. They think we’re fools.
-
They’re going all out on this counter meme. They think we’re fools.
Yes. Very suspicious
-
Bombs made it through the postal system?
Also, did not detonate?
Questions being asked.
-
My first thoughts: false flag, why bomb the irrelevant? and MSNBC is busily making their own- they must feel left out.
The right is not violent. Conservatives do not behave this way.

False flag

False flag

So this is the Democrats' October surprise: a false flag attack.
That is good that you get what is being attempted. The 'Right' is not going to stage pipe bombs and packages to threaten and intimidate. That only serves the Left.
The Left wants this war, and they are going to make damn sure they have it. It's for all the marbles.

Bomb Squad Investigates Suspicious Package At Wasserman Schultz’s Office
-
Now Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Andrew Cuomo have received suspicious packages.
Well, with all this evidence the authorities should have very little problem tracing back to the source.
-
Astroturf...
-
I want to know what's IN these packages. I strongly suspect it's material that looks like a bomb, but isn't. This would be strong evidence in support of the false flag operation, if true. Unfortunately, the bomb squad usually blows them up, so it may be hard to find out for sure.

So far all I've heard is 'nonfunctioning bombs'. Which is exactly what I'd expect from a pre election PR ploy.
-
Now Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Andrew Cuomo have received suspicious packages.
The Cuomo campaign denies they received any such package.
-
Bombs made it through the postal system?
Also, did not detonate?
Questions being asked.
Yes, exactly. For example, if someone just sent a box with a couple of short pieces of steel pipe with end caps, taped together and with some electrical wire, this would look like a bomb upon casual observation or examination with a portable x-ray machine. The bomb squad would blow it up, destroying all evidence, and the media would run the story of "right wing bomber".
-
So far all I've heard is 'nonfunctioning bombs'. Which is exactly what I'd expect from a pre election PR ploy.
Yep

And lest anyone think these leftist goons are not capable of stooping this low, I present this as evidence to the contrary.
-
The Cuomo campaign denies they received any such package.
Rumors flying.
Hitlery is talking about how worried she is about our country. She's in Florida.

The package at Wasserman Schultz's office was addressed to Eric Holder

The package at Wasserman Schultz's office was addressed to Eric Holder
From CNN's Pamela Brown and Josh Campbell
A suspicious package was sent to Eric Holder but it had the wrong address and was returned to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s office in Florida because that was the return label on the package, according to two law enforcement sources.
The same return address was used for the Clinton and Obama suspicious packages.
Separately, the George Soros packages is believed to have been placed in the mailbox, not mailed, according to a separate law enforcement source.
Earlier today: A law enforcement source and a federal source briefed on the investigation into the Soros package said it had the return address of Wasserman Schultz, a prominent Democratic member of Congress.

I swear....the Democrat Party strategy ...just before Halloween, is to have the top party people...and CNN all get 'bombs' delivered on the same day?
With these people you have to look at what their other hand is doing...remember Obama's "If they bring a knife, we bring a gun", "...get in their faces"?
This is all another "GET OUT THE VOTE....PLEASE GET OFF YOUR SORRY ASSES YOU MISERABLE TURDS" campaign.
...and yet, according to Rush, just now...."...what blue wave? The Red wave is going to be historical...all evidence indicates"
I suggest all Conservatives in the media and government...be extra aware of your surroundings until November 7th.

It fits the new narrative the Left is now crafting: "Trump and Republicans are all terrorists and genocidal maniacs".
You have to demonize the people you intend to use the power of the state to criminalize and then annihilate.
But first you have to sow that impression in the minds of the people, so they applaud action taken to deal with them.

I’m going to go ahead and state that there is a 0% chance that these “suspicious packages†were sent out by conservatives.
The only thing “suspicious†about these packages, is their timing.
Caravans, fake bomb threats—these leftists are going ALL OUT for midterms.
Misspelled Brennan and Florida on the envelope. I'm guessing they tried to make it look like the sender was an ignorant hillbilly, i.e., white, male, Christian, southern, Republican, gun-owning, etc., etc.

Yes, I think you're on to something here. If one is really going to pull off some sort of unibomber style attack, you're going to make sure the devices work. Maybe an occasional failure, but not all of them. Plus you're not going to send them to people whose mail will be screened; you'll pursue indirect attacks by sending them to their family or the homes of staffers. I stand by my theory that there won't actually be any explosive material in these at all. The white powder will turn out to be talcum or flour.

The time a bomb was put in our mailbox:
My son, while a senor in Rice University, made a film of the Klan. He traveled with them in Texas and in other states. This film was show on Houston PBS TV station. The station got a message during the time it was being shown, that Houston would burn if they didn't stop showing the film.
We lived south of Houston, in the NASA area. The next morning, my husband went to our mail box outside the house, came back in and said there was a bomb in the mail box. He was leaving that day for a company trip. He had to leave at that time, so I was left with this problem, him saying he would check with me during the day. This was before cell phones.
I called the police. They came and would not touch the mail box. They contacted the postal service and that man called me. He asked if we knew of anyone who was mad at us. I said no, but our son's film about the Klan was shown in Houston the day before and PBS station showing it, had a threatening phone call. There was silence on the other end of the phone. Then, he asked if the Klan might have placed the bomb. I said I didn't know if our son had talked to the Klan Grand Dragon since the film was shown. He said I should call my son. He said a postal service bomb squad would come to the house. So, I waited for the bomb squad.
A truck came. Men in white suits were there. I did not go out there, I watched this as I stood inside the house with the front door opened. They did not come near the mail box. A robot piece of equipment came to the mail box, took out the package that had black material on it - there was also black material on the outside/inside of the mail box. The robot took out the package and dropped it in a big vat on the back of the truck. I assumed this vat had water in it. After the package was gone, I called my son, telling him what happened and had he talked to the Grand Dragon since the film was shown. He said he had not, but would call him now.
I got a call from him very soon. The Grand Dragon said they loved the film. He said he and other Klan members would come to my house and guard it that night if I wanted them to since I was by myself. I told him to tell the Dragon "No", that I would stay with someone across town that night. I didn't want the Klan surrounding my house - they likely would have shot anyone coming around there.
The postmaster called me to tell me the black material was black gunpowder. He asked me if I was going to stay in the house that night. Told him was going to stay with friends. I did that, stayed on the other side of town that night. We never found out who put the bomb there.

James Woods deletes tweet calling Clinton bomb threat a 'political stunt'
By Aris Folley - 10/24/18 04:06 PM EDT
Actor James Woods reportedly deleted a tweet that called the "potential explosive devices" the Secret Service said it found in mail sent to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in New York on Wednesday an "obvious political stunt."
In the since-deleted tweet, the 71-year-old actor, who was briefly suspended from Twitter last month, dismissed the incident as an “an obvious political stunt†and wrote that no one cares enough about the Clinton family to send them explosives.
“Who gives a rat’s ass about the #Clintons enough to do this?†Woods tweeted, according to media reports. “Obvious political stunt …â€
The post featured a tweet from The Associated Press reporting on the potential explosive devices discovered at the home of Bill and Hillary Clinton in New York.
“That people would seriously suggest such an act could be a 'false flag' stunt is inappropriate,†Woods continued in a separate tweet, which remains up. “It is sad, however, that Democrat #mob behavior of late could prompt one to believe such a thing possible.â€

Dem leaders slam Trump's response to bomb threats: His 'words ring hollow'
By Jordain Carney - 10/24/18 04:35 PM EDT
Top Congressional Democrats on Wednesday slammed President Trump's response to a series of suspicious packages sent to prominent Democratic officials, saying his "words ring hollow."
"Time and time again, the President has condoned physical violence and divided Americans with his words and his actions," Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a statement.
The two Democratic leaders pointed to Trump's support for Rep. Greg Giantfore (R-Mont.) who pled guilty to assaulting a reporter, as well as "dictators around the world who murder their own citizens, and referring to the free press as the enemy of the people."
"President Trump's words ring hollow until he reverses his statements that condone acts of violence," Schumer and Pelosi said.
Their joint statement comes after Trump said that he condemned "political violence" and urged the country to unify after suspicious packages were mailed to a number of prominent Democratic officials.

It's fun to speculate here, but if I were a blue-checked Twitter account, the prudent thing to do is to take a wait and see on this.
Regarding false flag, it doesn't have to be orchestrated by top Dems. Could be a lone loony leftist (redundant, I know) who had the idea to do this. That, IMHO, is entirely plausible.

With the modernization of the Post Office, it would be a simple matter to track back to where these packages were posted. If they were posted in a Post Office building, there would be CCTV footage to review. There should be fingerprints on the package and the device itself.
That's why all the 'real' bombs that happened in Austin recently were hand delivered to the porch of the people by the bomber himself. No serious bomber, who really wanted to bomb someone, would rely on the Post Office to do his job for him. This is nonsense.
I'm no bomber of course, but even as just a regular Joe I can think of a dozen different ways to do this so much better than 'mailing' a bomb. That's stupid. It is like the person who takes a full bottle of Tylenol to commit suicide. It is a halfass effort which is intended to fail, but to deliver the message.
Regardless of how easy it would be to track this down, somehow I'm sure 'the authorities' will not be able to find any clues until after the midterms. That is guaranteed.

Shapiro is confusing rational skepticism with derangement.

With all due respect to Ben, who I admire greatly, his statement is hyperbolic and borders on virtue-signalling.

The Joint Terrorism Task Force has LOTS of material to analyze. The package and the contents should yield good forensics.

The Right is not completely void of a few nuts, but this one is highly suspicious with the late October timing and all. I suspect Antifa.
-
I am surprised Chuck Schumer did not get a suspicious package mailed to him. I guess he does not rate.

The Jews!? Most American Jews are anti-religion Leftwing kooks. I have met American Jews in L.A. who are more antisemitic than David Duke could ever dream of. In fact, they are 'anti' everything. They are anti-Jew and anti nonJew. They are against the practice of Judaism and against Christianity. And they are fanatically, even rabidly and violently, pro-Democrat.
But, and this is weird but true, even though they are as antisemitic as any Ghestapo Guard ever was, they would never ever, in a million years, allow any of their children to marry a non-Jew.
This kind of Jew views Judaism as a race, not as a religion. They are all about preserving the race while destroying historic Jewish culture. To say these guys are conflicted and a little messed up in the head would be putting it mildly.
No. The Leftist Liberal Jews I know would never even pretend to try to kill their holy leaders. Even as a False Flag it would still be sacreligious to them. And if they ever did try something like this, it would be against Republicans and they would not screw it up like this person did.

Shapiro criticizes conspiracy theories about bomb threats to Dems

I'm sorry, but the left has a history of staging these sorts of stunts,* and after weaponizing a sexual assault accusation failed, the concept that this could be a "false flag" is far from a deranged notion.

I'm sure that someone sending a package from Washer Woman Schultz's address knows that Sawgrass is one word?

AP just sent a news alert on my iPhone that the bombs sent to prominent Democrats and CNN were packed with shards of glass.
Wow.

All over Twitter right now that the bombs were hoaxes (not actual functional bombs)
-
From fed source: “complete hoaxes†multiple wires when they only needed one. Reports of cell phones being involved was false. So no intention of harm. Now the questions. Dry run, or a false flag from the right or left trying to mess over the other side?

How clever. Covering all their bases. Trump’s going after all his high profile critics.
Happy October, everyone!

Rap Sheet: ***613** Acts of Media-Approved Violence and Harassment Against Trump Supporters
John Nolte
5 Jul 2018
When not calling Trump supporters “Nazis†as a means to dehumanize us, the establishment media like to whine about the lack of civility in American politics, even as they cover up, ignore, downplay, or straight-up approve of the wave of violence and public harassment we are seeing against supporters of President Trump.
It is open season on Trump supporters, and the media is only fomenting, encouraging, excusing, and hoping for more… The media are now openly calling Trump supporters “Nazis†and are blaming Trump for a mass murder he had nothing to do with. This, of course, is a form of harassment because it incites and justifies mob violence.
Here is the list, so far, and remember that if any one of these things happened to a Democrat, the media would use the story to blot out the sun for weeks. Remember how crazy the media went over a nobody rodeo clown who wore an Obama mask, a GOP staffer who criticized Obama’s daughters? And yet, hundreds of Trump supporters are harassed and brutalized and the media only dutifully report them, if at all. That is because the media are desperate to normalize and justify violence and harassment against Trump and his supporters. ...

Looks like Biden finally made it on the list. Can't leave the Gaffemeister out, dontcha know. He's running for Pretzeldent, after all.

He was hoping he'd be part of the "in crowd" by receiving a wannabe bomb!

I can't even imagine the level of fit and rant he would have been reduced to had he not been included in the halfazz/lameazz leftie organized October Surprise against Trump. Would have been so much fun to watch. :pop41:

I suppose this one was in response to the stories about other packages' stamps not being marked by the postal service.

This must be quite a large operation, with each package being walked to addressees all across the country.

I knew some Robinettes way back when. They taught self-defense classes, and seemed to be pretty bada$$. Probably no relation to Biden.
