New suspicious packages addressed to Booker, Clapper, CNN

https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/26/politics/cory-booker-package/index.html

The reign of terror continues with two (three if you count CNN) more prominent Democrats and critics of Trump receiving suspicious packages. These packages were intercepted by authorities and never delivered. Speaking of those authorities, it now appears that they are focusing their search on a mail facility in Opa-locka, Florida.

It is arguably too early to attribute a political motive to the individual responsible, but it is inarguable that the recipients of these explosive/suspicious packages were all sent to critics of Trump.

This event is the biggest political assassination attempt in our history and Republicans just want to sweep it under the rug. It's beyond infuriating.

James Clapper's response is the most poignant, "I do want to just echo one thing that (former CIA Director) John Brennan said and that this is not going to silence the administration's critics."

 

The word you wanted (in the English language), is unarguable. Less certain are the real motives and identities of those who have chosen this very suspiciously opportune moment, less than two weeks before the mid-term elections, for this kind of "drama" to burst on the scene -- just in time to generate sympathetic reactions for the same clot of radical Democrats who have made such ASSES out of themselves in various ways over the last month.

Isn't it interesting that the investigating 'authorities' haven't even been able to determine whether any of these 'devices' were even capable of exploding? The New York Times (which will never be accused of being a conservative mouthpiece) printed an interesting piece about this which I've already posted twice in different threads.

Who mailed these 'things' (whatever they really are)? With what motives? Who gained politically? Certainly not anybody on the Right....

Besides, who on the Right would want to hurt some of these Leftist, America-hating, Democrat morons? They frequently do such a sterling job of making themselves despised and loathed every time they open their mouths.... Harm them? No way.

 

Rational people step back and wait to learn the who and what.

Irrational people do the exact opposite.

Obviously there is a motivation behind these "attacks".

It's interesting to contemplate what that motivation is, in light of the universal finger pointing on the part of the left and it's media operatives.

 

Well look who thinks they are wonderful journalists ....

All of the targets, thus far, are prominent Trump critics. It takes some next level (read: conspiracy) thinking to go, "Democrats want to threaten prominent Trump critics with scary packages in order to motivate Democrats.

There is a reason that the most likely theory (and here, the most likely theory is that there is a nutjob trump supporter who wanted to intimidate or hurt trump critics) is usually correct.

On a side note, I notice that you place attacks in quotation marks. And I am curious if you think a bomb which is designed to not explode, but only to scare, whether those qualify as a terrorist attack?

 

The **** is the point of your post?

 

Assassination attempt? Oh please! Stop with the engineered drama.

 

And that differs from the universal finger pointing on the part of Trump and the right in what manner?

 

What is so hard for you too understand?

Trump's hateful rhetoric spurred some RW MAGA Hat Wearing Wacko to send bombs.

Trump is fomenting Domestic Terrorism.

Case closed. End of story.

 

These folks were all mailed pipe bombs filled with glass and pyrotechnic powder.

The fact that none of them exploded is a blessing, not "drama."

 

Yup.

Particularly to the bolded part.

Ironic that the very ones who call others treasonous, America haters, and so forth are the first to make ridiculous excuses about the (likely right-wing) source of these terror attacks.

 

^ This.

 

So funny.... Their own plot... like they were going to be "silenced"... Laughable.

Also, what terror? So far the only "terror" is existential. Now, who worries like that?

 

"Reign of Terror" is a bit too dramatic of a description for bombs that from all appearances are not intended to go boom boom. I agree that all of the targets have been critics of the Lying King.

I would characterize this deal as a scare campaign not a terror campaign though in concept it is a "terroristic" act. Yet seriously people let's hold back "our " rhetoric a bit and not go to the terror level of def con 4 unless some of these low tech puppies start going boom boom.

Basically you guys need not talk like the Trumpeizdas who would be going totally bezerk if it was the Trumpster, McConnell, Huckleberry Hound, Shaun Vannity getting the packages. Look at how the Trumpeizdas behave now. One stupid Liberali Looneytoon inspired by Waw Waw Waters throws a shave cream pie at at a Gingrich buffoon and you think that WW III was declared by Congress.

Everyone needs to get a grip and not constantly match the asholian rhetoric of the Lying Chief.

 

Reign of photo ops. Reign of hyperbole. Reign of projections.

Better hope whoever is responsible is caught soon. If this is some crank, and not a calculated political trick, then it's getting near mind-boggling they haven't been caught yet. If no one is caught by the midterms, this is going to backfire on the Complex in a huge way, as everyone with a pulse and IQ above 80 will know it was a con job.

Could end up the "straw that broke the camel's back" entry to the above LONG list of overwhelming LW fakery. Used to fly in the prenet age. Worked for decades for the left in a monocular information hegemony. No more.

 

Unreal, isn't it?

They freak out over salads, and don't care - or applaud - that the country is under attack by right-wing extremists.

 

This whole thing smells.

Is this a dog whistle to send bombs to Republicans?

Democrats say that because of what trump said 2 years ago and Sarah pailin said 10 years ago that it is OK for democrats to call for violence today. With their logic if republicans are sending bombs to democrats then it is OK for democrats to send bombs to republicans. I think that is the goal.

The democrats are trying to incite real bombings and violence with these fake flag bombing propaganda stunts.

If the guy gets caught right away it is probably a right wing loon. If the guy doesn't get caught then it is probably a left Winger in league with law enforcement and democrats.

 

Your posting style cracks me up no matter the subject.

Anyway, this is my favorite part:

"...for this kind of "drama" to burst on the scene -- just in time to generate sympathetic reactions for the same clot of radical Democrats who have made such ASSES out of themselves in various ways over the last month."
​

The behavior for the past two years made me think false flag. It's playing too much like a cheesy movie .

 

Here's what would have had to happen for the events of Wednesday to be a false flag:
1. Someone or someones who wanted to help Democrats -- and the media, I guess, somehow? -- would send a series of pipe bombs to prominent Democrats around the country.
2. Then Democrats or the media or, again, someone, would have to have coordinated with the state and local police -- not to mention federal authorities -- so that law enforcement said that these were functional bombs (even though, again, according to this theory, they weren't).

 

Unreal.

Just unreal.

 

A caravan of 4000 migrants located several thousands of miles from the US border = an existential threat that has prompted the US military to send 800 troops and demand for a ~25 billion dollar wall

And let's ignore for the moment the question of whether these bombs could explode (which authorities have said is possible)...

Are bombs which are designed to not explode, but only to scare, are those a terrorist attack?

 

Well, I'm not going to say it's NOT impossible that this is a "left" driven process in some bizarre other-world attempt to generate anti-right feelings.

I find it highly unlikely (Saw your Occam's razor post yesterday), but it's not impossible...

But those that say this isn't an attack because nothing went boom are psychologically suspect...

P.S. I called Booker as a target on the first day.... (pats self on back)...

 

Totally.

The Latest RW Marching Orders = Bigfoot Did It.

Cool.

 

Exactly, so I suggest EVERYBODY do that.

 

Rationally, Occam's Razor is difficult to apply in this insane environment.

The observation is that those with extreme bias are demonstrating an almost complete lack of objectivity.

With nothing known, any conclusion is just pure conjecture.

Reeling from the fallout from their calls to violent aggressive attacks on the opposition, it's not unreasonable to speculate these "attacks" are designed to shift the spotlight off the New Democratic Party and over to "Republicans". Certainly fits the propaganda narrative the left and it's media partners have been trying to sell for some time now.

In the end, I feel rather confident the perp will be discovered. The number of bombs and the number of targets are leaving so much forensic evidence, it's hard to imagine in this day and age the person or people won't be found.

If they are not found, then this operation is far more sophisticated than it seems, and that points even more strongly to an effort to demonize Republicans that it does to intimidate New Democratic Party leaders via these attacks.

And I use "" around the word attack, because it seems with no explosions, the effort is psychological, not deadly. It would be akin to a mob showing up and verbally assaulting someone. Of course if you agree that is also an attack, then I might change my opinion.
