Soros, Clinton, Obama Targeted with Bomb Threats

[Ben]

 

You can search the various articles. I saw the Soros one the other day, and my first thought was International, since he has pissed off a lot of Eastern Euros that don't take *expletive deleted*it from people.

Clinton and Obama as well in the last 24 hours? Sorry, I gotta put on the tinfoil and say Left extremist setup.

Also, these are not just threats. "Devices" have been found in each case. Real or fake is up in the air.

It's the left's latest October Surprise, along w/ the mob that threatened Pelosi last week … in this way the Right has to stop talking about the left's violent tactics …

Why is it that "false flag" was my first thought when I saw this...

Because it has all the earmarks of a false flag operation?

Looks like one was mailed to the Whitehouse too.

My understanding is that one was addressed to Obama.

[Ron]

Some folks on both sides seem to be chomping at the bit for things to go hot.

The best play IMHO is how Trump is handling things.

He keeps giving the left opportunities to reveal what’s under their masks. BOO! It’s scary.

Trump more than any politician is relying on votes. Our votes, congressional votes.

He is a master persuader.

I doubt Trump wants things to go hot. I’m not so sure about the swamp creatures though. They might see some benefit and utility to chaos and violence if they can blame the right.

Typical USPS package handling speed, then.

CNN is retracting the Whitehouse story...

The only thing that makes me think this might be a false flag is how close to the election this is.

None of these people are standing for office and even if the attacks were successful, it would have absolutely zero bearing on the election. (Except to make people aghast and possibly help the Democrats.) The timing is questionable.




HOWEVER, it's only a possibility, because the people who would mail a bomb to someone do not tend to be particularly rational. So, pointing out that the attacks are likely counter-productive is most definitely not a disqualifier for their source.

Occam's Razor says it is all from one right-wing whacko. 

[DittoHead]

All the earmarks? We barely know anything  

Is it possible? Sure. Is it the most likely explanation? Sorry, but no.

Occam's Razor says it is all from one right-wing whacko.  

And apparently we're up to 4 now (not including Soros):

- 1 addressed to Hillary Clinton
- 1 to former President Barack Obama
- 1 to the building that houses CNN's office in New York City
- 1 to Wasserman Schultz, former chairwoman of the DNC

Left wing would fit recent history of violence better.  They aren't far enough left.  

But yes, it is all guessing until the facts are known.

Saw that too

[Hawkmoon]

Stay tuned.

• Soros
• Clinton
• Obama
• Wasserman-Shultz
• San Diego Union Tribune (but Kamala Harris has an office in that building)
• Eric Holder
• John Brennan

Somebody has been very busy.

[Scout26]

What's Ted Kaczynski been up to lately ??

[KD5NRH]

• Wasserman-Shultz

My guess; she mailed all of them and that one was returned as undeliverable.

Key evidence; none of them have gone off.  Not even from the atrocious handling packages tend to get.  Somebody dumb has been busy.

THIS is an important point.

Some nutjob trying to kill people with this many bombs would have had one go off already. These may be either purposely hoaxes (like the "Ricin" that was sent to Republican Senators) or, as noted, false flags.

It's looking less likely to actually be someone trying to kill people, to me at least.

The lack of explosions, to me, makes the idea that it's a false flag operation designed to generate sympathy and support for the Democrats appear more and more likely.

Right on cue, George Soros’ son, Alexander Soros penned a New York Times op-ed blaming President Trump for the mail bombs.

[just Warren]

What does "device" mean?

Perhaps the innards of a digital clock that have been removed and placed inside a pencil box?

[dogmush]

So can we rethink that "Civility in Politics" thing now?

[JN01]

From an AP report:

Two law enforcement officials, speaking to AP on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation, said the pipe bomb at CNN was crude but operational and was addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan, who regularly appears as a television contributor and who has publicly clashed with Trump. They said it was similar to other explosives discovered in the past few days.

The device was mailed in an envelope to CNN's offices on Columbus Circle using six stamps. It was compact, perhaps about the length of a wooden spoon, and contained wires and a black pipe, officials said.

Sounds like the worlds smallest pipe bombs, intended to make a statement, rather than any actual damage.  There are plenty of nutty right-wingers out there that might do such a thing, but my gut is leaning toward false flags as well.

[Chester32141]

I thought CNN's was delivered by courier …  

Also, the lack of a postmark on the package was explained as it was delivered by courier, reported CNN’s Kate Hinman.
“Law enforcement sources tell @ShimonPro the package sent to CNN was delivered by courier, not mailed.”
