Rusty – Multiple mainstream media outlets report that federal sources and bomb technicians are exploring the possibility that explosive devices sent to prominent Democrats were fakes.
While various media entities scoffed at the notion that such an elaborate mail bombing campaign could have been a hoax, other experts are indeed exploring the possibility.
New York Magazine called the skepticism “counter-intuitive” conspiracies and “mad ravings.”
If so, those ‘mad ravings’ have since extended to an Emmy-winning news correspondent and such revered mainstream outlets as the New York Times.
CNN reveals photo of their bomb package
Somehow, some way, CNN was able to, in the midst of a massive federal investigation, tweet out a picture of the bomb they received in their New York headquarters.
This is a photograph of the suspicious package sent to the CNN building in New York City earlier this morning. Police say it appeared to be a live explosive device. https://t.co/aG9JsTfwhx pic.twitter.com/tcICHJErda

The image raised a ton of questions – why were they able to share this when the incident was still being investigated? Why were there no USPS markings on the envelope if it had been delivered? Were the return addresses and faux ISIS sticker a means to throw law enforcement off the trail or were they clues?
More importantly, it raised questions for bomb experts.
Fed Source Say Bombs Looked Fake
Adam Housley, a senior news correspondent with Fox News and Emmy award-winning regional reporter, cites a federal source who saw the device or devices and labeled them “complete hoaxes.”
Housley’s source said the devices exhibited an unnecessary number of wires and no connected trigger device such as a cell phone. There was “no intention of harm,” he reported
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?

Leftists will immediately dismiss Housley’s report simply because he’s a reporter for Fox News. With that we offer …
Enter the New York Times
The New York Times reported that bomb technicians who studied photos of the bomb sent out by CNN had “hallmarks of fake explosives.”
The device looked like something more “typically depicted on television and in movies,” they said, “rather than devices capable of detonating.”
The technicians made note of the clock added to the device, something they say is unnecessary in a real bomb scenario and more typical of inducing drama in a movie scene.

“Bombmakers generally avoid attaching visible clocks to their devices to keep from tipping off their targets about when the bombs are set to explode,” the Times reported.
In short, the device was designed more like ‘clock boy’s’ briefcase hoax, than an actual bomb.
Questions Abound
If experts are wondering about the legitimacy of the devices, then it raises even more questions.
Who stands to benefit from sending prominent Democrat names and entities mentioned in the news frequently such devices that actual technicians believe were a hoax?
With the left’s propensity to stage hate crimes evident in circumstance after circumstance over the years, it is necessary to approach this case with healthy skepticism.
Bomb squad members laughed at those poor renditions of hollywood props…
They were sent to out of power irrelevant politicians other than waters and that liberal stooge de nero…
Fake news + fake bombs = sympathy votes from the gullible ignorant sector of America for poor liberals…
Backfire… those “bombs” arrear toi be blowing up in the demoncrap deepstste traitors faces.
Enjoy the show…
Indeed, TG. “Enjoy the show.” 🙂 -g
The average American: Baa Baa Bunch Sheep. It is so very sad. How stupid can we be?
Why (and how) could a timer be utilized in a bomb when you are mailing it to your intended target? Let’s get real here – you are obviously counting on the device being in the hands of a specific person at a specific time – right? Yet the bomb is mailed to them? That is ridiculous….. The whole incident sure seems to be a hoax designed to affect voters in the upcoming election. America Online (AOL) actually listed a comprehensive list of the intended victims and nefarious comments the POTUS had made about each of them – as though they were tying president Trump to this event. They will stop at nothing in their attempts to remove an “uninitiated” (Newt Gingrich’s description) president ..
Lastly – are we really so stupid as to trust the FBI to give us truthful answers as to what has really happened? Really? This same bureaus that has been caught in a deep plot to remove a sitting president? God help us.
This is a FALSE FLAG event. Interesting that most recipients are likely under secret indictments for TREASON. As for the “bombs” – none of the recipients go to a mailbox to collect their mail. So obviously none of THEM would have been injured had these been real bombs.
No. This is just another FAILED attempt by criminals to attempt to drive their blue trickle to the polls so they can destroy America.
I think the FBI has been cleaned of the worst traitors who all resided in key positions at the top of the bureau. Most of the agents working for the FBI are American patriots who likely are very happy to see the housecleaning occur. If and when they find the perpetrator(s) of this latest sick attempt to influence the midterm elections they will likely trace back to the Demon party. If they do manage to have co-opted a Republican-affiliated “bomber” that person is likely as mind controlled as all the individuals who have been framed for school shootings and the like.
Pathetic! -g
