Suspicious package at CNN New York

[K9Buck]

I hate conspiracy theories, but this story doesnt add up. Bombs designed to not blow up, just before elections? Assuming it was a rightwing wacko who has no understanding of politics (anyone who does would know this isnt useful for the right) what was his purpose? It makes no sense.

It does however make sense that it's a leftwing nut who devised a plan to singlehandedly effect the elections. If a person was crazy enough to fall on their sword for the democratic party, this would be one of the very few ways a single person could change elections across the nation. Yes he will get caught, but maybe not before Republicans are voted out of office.

If that is so, it may have been his thought, but they will have this guy by next week. Like I said, cameras are everywhere. They even make doorbells with cameras in them unlike years ago where security cameras were 10" long and 3" wide easily spotted by any criminal.

Hell, I drive for a living so I have a dash cam. it's only a little over two inches wide and provides outstanding video day or night.

I agree with you. It's REALLY hard to get away with something like what this person(s) did.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

From what I read, they were functional. But these are very affluent neighborhoods, and security cameras likely all around. I heard one of the bombs was delivered through a delivery service. I'm sure the company has a camera at the package drop-off point.

It seems to me that whoever this is is a certified kook; somebody that wants to get caught. Nobody in their right mind would think that Bill, Obama, or any of them open their own mail without being screened first. And unless extremely confidential and expected, they probably have other people open their packages for them for such a situation.

You are correct, something doesn't add up here. It's kind of like the Ford claim on Kavanaugh. Just too many questions at this point.

I'm on board with Kook, but I have an additional suggestion only. Strikes me the deep state is able to recognize the right Kooks for the agenda. I suspect that applies to the Ford Kavanaugh business. The deep state knows how to exploit it, and even if the person is caught the dots remain unconnected.

I'm less worried about that than I am the lying media. No matter who this person is, they will try to turn it around that it's some hard righty.

We can rule out a remote detonator with the amount of devices mailed across the US, since whoever did this would have to monitor the pb’s to know when to detonate, and would not be able to monitor all at the same time, let alone know if they’re in range of target.

Why couldn't they be set up to be detonated by a local cell phone, i.e. an agent with a burner phone has a local assignment which he then triggers at the proper time, while other local agents trigger theirs. You seem to be assuming this is one single guy.

B. Forgot what I was going to say here.

Can't argue with that.

It potentially could be, still a long shot in my opinion. That’s quite a lofty operation that would require a large enough group of people with the exact blend needed to be this technically smart, but completely operationally retarded, as well as extremely crazy. Those people exist I’m sure, but few and far in between, how exactly did they all find each other, and all happen to hate all the same people who almost all, aren’t even in power? Also, none of these bombs actually went off, so why didn’t they detonate them? You’d also have to have a visual of the target and the package in proximity, creeping in the bushes or sitting on the street in your car with binocs for potentially hours, looks pretty suspicious and would put these agents in considerable risk of getting caught either beforehand or after. Sure, many of these targets aren’t the types who pick up their own mail...but also, if you’re going through this much effort and considerable risk to fly all these people all over the country, and make those bombs, you should probably know beforehand if they are the types who’ll go to the front door or gate and pick them up themselves. Highly unlikely these were rigged for remote detonations.

 

[JustAnotherNut]

Agreed that none of it make sense and seems more of a set up against Trump/Republicans. The biggest fake is that all bombs had Wasserman-Schultz as the return address. I mean really,, how crazy is that?

 

[Godboy]

So why didn't they detonate, like the thread title says?

Do you not understand the word "intercepted"?
The bombs, if truly viable, were timed to go off at their destination, not at a postal transit center.

How does someone time a bomb to blow up upon delivery? How would you know when it is going to arrive?

GPS tracker?

Greg

That is an elaborate bomb if it's set up like that.

Sounds like you Marxist democrats set yourselves a Reichstag fire.

Problem is, we've seen that trick before.

 

[Oldstyle]

Rump calling for "civility" is like Michael Moore calling for "dieting".

All Trump has ever done is give back what you on the left have dished out on him, Pogo! It's been nonstop attacks from you losers ever since Hillary went down in flames! Now I know you preferred George W. Bush's "turn the other cheek" response to all of the attacks that you made on him...but Trump isn't THAT guy! You want to get nasty with him? He'll return the favor!

You're making yet another assumption here, this one being that said bombs were intended to kill (or injure) the addressee. That isn't really how terrorism works. Also you don't have to "fly people all over the country" either --- that's yet another assumption, that they all fanned out from one central location rather than being already networked by something called the internet, or even telephone.

Just to state the obvious Occam's Razor analysis, it could well be these bombs were never intended, or designed, to detonate. Just like creeps who send white powder that turns out to be baking soda. Same thing.

They’d also have to have the funds to pull this off...that’s a lot of plane tickets to buy, if this was remote detonation

 

[william the wie]

I'm getting more and more reports that the bombs were certainly looked like they were not intended to go boom. Is that true and who would do that?

Interesting that one seems to know the method of detonation (timer) employed.

Intimate knowledge?

Whether they were working or not, it's still terrorism.

Well......it looks like the package was sent from a friend, that's why. I don't find that too unusual.

 

[Marion Morrison]

If none of them blew up, it's bullshit!

 

[SmokeALib]

Most likely planted by leftarded extremists to discredit conservatives 2 weeks before the elections.

 

[Marion Morrison]

These kids I saved from some nasty bullies pfft..X years ago, because I let them use my fishing raft that I built, do set off a pipe bomb in a firepit in their backyard every year.

It's louder than the base 500-lb bombs.

Do tell how so many bombs got sent out and none detonated. I call Bullshit!

Since you're so smart, maybe you can tell us how a Hillary informer. Commits suicide, with two different guns.

Hillary didn't waste any time taking advantage of the good news. She said "We need candidates that bring us together." LOL.
