"An explosive device was found on Wednesday morning by a technician who screens mail for the office of Hillary Clinton..."

"... a law enforcement official said. A similar device was also sent to the office of former President Barack Obama. The official said the devices were similar to one found at the home of the billionaire philanthropist George Soros on Monday.... That device was constructed from a length of pipe about six inches long filled with explosive powder... Mr. Soros, who made his fortune in finance and is now a full-time philanthropist and political activist, is often a subject of the ire of right-wing groups. In recent days, some have falsely speculated that he funded a caravan of migrants moving north in Mexico."

The NYT reports.

Interesting to see the caravan woven into the speculation. The caravan seems to be powerfully helpful to the right wing.

ADDED: Yesterday, I blogged a WaPo article about the caravan and noted that the most-liked comments over there are working on a conspiracy theory that says "GOP operatives" funded the caravan. This morning, I'm reading a newer WaPo article — "How the migrant caravan became so big and why it’s continuing to grow" — and the same thing is happening in the comments. Here's the most-liked one:
Why isn't the media digging into the possibility that Trump's administration is behind the caravan? The timing of its formation right before the mid-terms seems totally suspect to me.
Maybe just a troll, with trolls doing the up-voting. Or just a sarcastic comedian.

How odd?.

"Unless whoever did it gets the full Christine Blaisey Ford social media scrub before they are arrested."

-- The sorts of people who do this write manifestos. I'd assume the lack of some public statement means something else is probably planned.

Of course, I could be proven wrong and this IS a false flag. At which point, whatever. It's 2018. Witches and exorcisms. The whole world is a crazy place.

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

The media and the FBI - will they cover it up if this is false flag?

Matt Sablan said...

"The media reported that the Soros bomb was exploded by officials on his property."

-- If they determined it was explosive but with no chemical/radiological/biological elements, it may have been safer than moving it further, especially if they didn't think it would be a big explosion. I don't think that is too-too odd.

Vance said...

I have a question: Why aren't we responding to this like the Democrat and leftists did to Clock boy? You know, the kid who made a fake bomb and took it to school to terrorize his teachers and classmates?

The left praised him up and down, gave him money, invited him to the White House under Obama, scholarships... etc.

Right now, these bombs are fake as far as we can tell. Surely we should be praising the guy and offering scholarship money, right Inga? Just like Clock boy!

It would be racist to do otherwise. That's what you and your people said. And after all, the left loves them some bombs. Think Obama's good friend Bill Ayers.

As to the Debbie Wasserman Schultz thiing.... the ricin sent to Trump and lots of other Republicans not too long ago (which Inga cheered on) was sent by a guy who put his return address on the letters. Stupid, I know... but then these are leftists. So I wouldn't exclude Debbie's office as a suspect.

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

Oh - Ok. It's just explosive enough.

It is curious that nothing actually exploded.

Gojuplyr831@gmail.com said...

I love the way it is claimed the Soros made his fortune in "finance." Kind of overlooks his having obtained his initial wealth by stealing it from the jews he helped send to the death camps.

My guess is that the bombs will turn out to be from a leftist activist who will quickly be declared a loner nutjob by the media.

Vance said...

Also, let's assume this is a crazed person on the right..... don't we all apply the Inga standard and not condemn it for a year?

I mean, I personally will condemn it right now, but shouldn't we all apply the same standard leftists do for these kinds of things? Or is that selling out our souls?

Matt Sablan said...

I was thinking more of a small amount of explosive like the type that only took people's hands off. So, dangerous, yeah, but it isn't going to do structural damage.

Matt Sablan said...

Either or, we'll know soon enough, so I'm confident not speculating about motives. For now.

Jupiter said...

So, were there nooses on the bombs?

Yancey Ward said...

Matthew,

If they are real bombs, I think it near 100% probable that the sender is a right-wing nut case. If they are fake bombs, I think it 50% probable that the sender is left-wing and not necessarily "crazy". Right now, it appears to me that they are all fake bombs- they have been opened and not exploded- we even have a photograph of one of them with it taken out of the box. I say they are all fake.

Ignorance is Bliss said...

Vance said...

Why on earth should anyone believe that Republicans or conservatives sent these, when the vast majority of alleged "conservative" attacks, racist things, etc have been hoaxes and leftists making it up?

Do you have any analysis showing that it is the vast majority? Clearly there are far too many fakes. But those of us on the right tend to make big news out of the hoaxes, so they appear more numerous ( to us ) than they probably are.

I'd love to see an analysis of all reported hate crimes, broken down into: solved-perpetrated-by-conservative, solved-perpetrated-by-liberal, solved-no-political-motivation, and unsolved. I suspect the majority would be unsolved, but have no clue how the rest would break down.

Matthew Sablan said...
"If they determined it was explosive but with no chemical/radiological/biological elements, it may have been safer than moving it further, especially if they didn't think it would be a big explosion. I don't think that is too-too odd."

If they determined that it had been sent by one of their colleagues, and had his fingerprints all over it, it would only be common sense to destroy the evidence.

Actually, if you think about it, it is the idiots in the Left Fascist Media who always make a big deal about it, together with the idiots in the Left Fascist university administrations. They still haven't figured out that, unlike these bombs, their hate crimes always blow up in their faces.

Vance said...

That's a good question, Ignorance, but I'm trying to remember the actual "terror attack by conservatives" that have happened. There aren't many, since that's the kind of thing that gets months of coverage while the hoaxes get dropped quickly except by the "see I told you so!" types on the right.

I'm honestly drawing a blank on recent "conservative terror attacks" that were done by actual people on the right, not people who were claimed to be on the right. Maybe that plane attack on an IRS office a decade ago?

Yancey Ward said...

My reading the Soros incident is that the device was exploded by adding explosives to the device as a way of fully disarming it. This is a common practice in real life bomb squad work.

jg said...

Proud-boy type vigilante/demonstrator groups show up expecting trouble but not starting it. Big difference. Look at how the liberal-city police depts treat these clashes: self-defense is not allowed when the right infringe on their turf. Chicago antifa etc attacks on Trump people won Trump the election on the margins.

Ignorance is Bliss said...

Vance said...

That's a good question, Ignorance, but I'm trying to remember the actual "terror attack by conservatives" that have happened.

I was thinking more in terms of hate crimes in general, of which there are plenty, but most of which are fairly trivial: graffiti/vandalism type things. So mostly not national news. And mostly unsolved, because they are not worth a lot of police resources to investigate.

Matt Sablan said...

The bombs do seem to be relatively safe, given the way they're being handled (including letting reporters walk up and photograph them). Maybe we'll find out what exactly is going on.

Bilwick said...

Assuming that this isn't some Reichstag Fire type ploy, and that real bombs were actually sent to Darth Soros, the Clintons, et al, I wonder what kind of protest they would make. This is the gang that believes in and advocates force, so they would be getting what they asked for. As Kurt Russell's Wyatt Earp told Ike Clanton in TOMBSTONE, "You called down the thunder--now you got it!"

Bilwick said...

Also, if the bombs are real, another reason to be glad Trump won and the Alinskyite Witch lost. Remember how Bill Clinton used the Oklahoma City bombing to suppress anti-statist dissent? His consort, Queen Cacklepants, would probably be worse.

Robert Cook said...

"I love the way it is claimed the Soros made his fortune in "finance." Kind of overlooks his having obtained his initial wealth by stealing it from the jews he helped send to the death camps."

How did he do this?

Nope. That's what they do with suspicious packages at the airport too.

Kevin said...

"An explosive device was found on Wednesday morning by a technician who screens mail for the office of Hillary Clinton..."

Hillary has "a technician" screening her mail? Someone who could notice a bomb and not set it off?

The same people commenting at the NYT about how Trump might be behind the caravan, won't consider whether Hillary and the Dems "cooked" this scheme up to divert the "mobs" rhetoric from influencing the mid-terms.

I await the media frenzy about how this "proves" the Republicans are the real perpetrators of violence, while Dems are just peaceful protestors.

Speculation, by its very nature, is neither true nor false. "Speculated without evidence" or "engaged in apparently unfounded speculation" is the phrasing the writer should have used.

Clearly the word has gone out on JournoList 2.0 that the old proscriptions against editorializing the news are to be abandoned, and anything that Trump or his allies say without accompanying hard documentation is to be labeled "false".

Also, it's logically impossible to prove a negative. Does this reporter have any more solid evidence than the unnamed speculators do about what Soros has or hasn't done? To my knowledge Soros hasn't even commented about it.

Given the vast array of George Soros tentacles in the world of left-wing troublemaker NGO's, it would be a great surprise to me if he weren't at least peripherally involved, perhaps even without his direct knowledge.

The Media seemed to have the stories all ready to go. And Lefty Facebook commenters had a script blaming Republicans and those that wound them up (Trump) ready to post--word-for--word.

Astroturfing is always a sign of Democrat involvement. Wonder if Soros paid for that, too.

That guy's suicide note railed against the bailouts of the big banks, the lack of prosecution of large scale corporate criminality such as Enron, and the baleful influence of insurance companies on achieving universal health care. This is the one who wrote "The communist creed: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

Here is the motive.

"Irrespective of what this person’s political leanings or motivations are, we are living in an atmosphere where hate and violence have been not only incited but condoned by Donald Trump," Philippe Reines, former deputy assistant secretary of State under Hillary Clinton and an outside adviser who helped train Clinton for presidential debates in 2016, told MSNBC's Craig Melvin.

Yancey Ward@12:43 My thought exactly. First off, postal terrorists, whether sending bombs like Unabomber or powdered poison, do not do mass mailings. All these going out on the same day, and not one single one exploded.... this is the bullshit, man. Democrat party is behind this, and behind the mobs of foreigners marching on our southern border demanding "asylum". There is nothing Democrat party members won't stoop to to regain control over us.

Fair example but I still wonder about the "Third Man." I guess you could say Ruby Ridge but the feds shot first and the whole thing was entrapment. The Idaho jury wanted to indict the FBI sniper.

Maybe the Bundy standoff but the FBI shot the only one killed. I've seen the video pdf that shooting and the shooter should have been prosecuted,

Steve Witherspoon said...

Before everyone jumps to conclusions we don’t know all the facts. What it appears to be is a coordinated “attack” on Democrats. Why Democrats have been targeted we won’t know until all the facts have been collected and the perpetrator(s) are apprehended, even then we may not know all the why's.

Wait for the facts and don’t jump to conclusions.

The entire lefty firmament has shifted as one with their talking points and attacks.

Almost as if it had all been heavily coordinated beforehand....as if through some sort of "journolisty"-type arrangement and is being weaponized against Trump and republicans.

Back in 1995 when my wife ran for alderman the woman who eventually won, had a preacher supporter call in a bomb threat to her headquarters. We considered a "normal" tactic, used by candidates in close races, to generate sympathy. Later on, when the preacher got charged, we were surprised they didn't do it the "right" way, i.e., not leave tracks.

“The Texas actress who admitted sending ricin-laced letters to President Barack Obama and then-New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was sentenced to 18 years in prison Wednesday, the U.S. attorney's office said.

Shannon Guess Richardson, 36, also was ordered to pay $367,000 in restitution.

"Today's sentencing brings an appropriate and just end to what is surely one of our most unusual, even bizarre cases," John Bales, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Texas, said in a statement.”

Suspected Ricin sent to Pentagon, suspicious letters to Trump, Ted Cruz office

When this stuff happens to anyone with an R - the democrats are quietly thrilled.

Michael K said...

Inga's triumphant example of Republican terrorism:

In May 2013, while going through a divorce, Richardson called the police and accused her husband, Nathan Richardson, of mailing letters laced with the poison ricin to several politicians.[1][18] Nathan Richardson has not been charged with any crime.[1][22][23] He told investigators that his wife set him up.[24] Investigators found evidence that she had mailed the ricin-laced letters herself in an effort to set up her estranged husband.

Another feminist heroine.

Ooops that's sexism. "Hero."

Nice work Inga. Did you have anything to do with the Tylenol poisoning ?

Asking for a friend.

10-1 they never find who did it, or it turns out to be a leftist.

Remember all those antisemtic phone calls to synagogues in 2017? All blamed on Trump. Turned out it was an Israeli making them.

Remember all those Black Churches burning?

Remember all those swastikas and nooses that ALWAYS show up on College Campuses?

Inga...Allie Oop said...

Michael K, I didn’t say a word about Richardson’s politics. I said that Obama also had Ricin sent to him. You truly are a knee jerking jerk.

rcocean said...

The most suspicious part is the bombs sent to Obama and Clinton. Why would anyone waste their time or take the risk?

Anyone who sent the bombs knew they would never reach the intended target. They also knew the attention would help the Democrats.

After all, why mail bombs NOW, a couple weeks before the election?

The attempted murder of 9 Republican Congressmen made the news for 3 days. Lets see how long these "mail bombs" last.

“A Bernie Supporter shot Steve Scalese. Steve Scalese is still going thru painful surgery after painful surgery to recover.”

A Trump supporter ran down Heather Heyer, killing her. She’s still dead. What was the name of the rally in which this happened? “Unite the Right”.

Current MSNBC Scroll:

"ACT OF TERRORISM"
"Manhunt for pipe bomb Suspect as Trump Holds political rally"

DoJ needs to Sue NBC for making unpaid contributions to Democrat party. Pelosi couldn't have written a better lead.

Who organized "Unite the Right"? A Hillary supporter who professed admiration for agent provocateurs in his pro Hillary blog.

He was also an Occupy activist.

Ignorance's list of two incidents matches Inga's quite well, neither of which can be absolutely attributed to Republicans.

You asked about rightist, not Republican. The two examples are undoubtedly rightist. I don't claim any connection to Republicans.

Michelle was defensive at first, with the talk of a "suspicious package",
but later was relieved to find out it was just an explosive device.

You people are eyeballs deep in misinformation and conspiracy theory. If the truth were presented to you on a silver platter you wouldn’t recognize it.

What was "rightist" about either of those incidents?

Come on. We offered you OK City and the Bundy handoff even though neither was truly "rightist."

See, the left sees anything it doesn't like as "rightist."

Inga is actually making a little more sense than you are.

Michael K said...

Bundy standoff. autocorrect again.

Of course you didn't. The example of a vengeful ex-wife would not fit your model of "right wing terrorism."

Did you have anything to do with the Tylenol murders? It fits your favorite model.

‘Unite the Right’ is not uniting the ‘right’, they are uniting extremists who say they are on the ‘right’. One thing they are not is right about much.

‘Unite the Right’ organized the march of radicals in Charlottesville. They were joined by as many as 12 groups totaling between 200 and 500 protesters. There were also reportedly an equal number of leftist radicals.

The two most well-known leaders of ‘Unite the Right’ are Jason Kessler and Richard Spencer.

Spencer is famous for his heil Trump speech and his proud self-characterization as alt-right. Kessler is famous for being a long-time leftist who supported the Occupy communist/socialist movement and voted for Barack Obama.

More on the bomb hoax.

Now to learn who did it.

Bottom Line: Whoever made that wanted it to be painfully obvious to anyone and everyone that it's a "bomb."

This is nearly the same as a bundle of road flares wrapped together with an old-timey alarm clock ticking away.


Lefties most affected.

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

When radials fight and riot in the streets, only Trump is to blame.

When a Bernie supporter shows up to kill congress - meh from the left.

Nobody is happy about the death of Heather. The poor girl was in the wrong place at the wrong time. But you leftists happily use her for your grand political schemes.

Michael K said...

Andy McCarthy weighs in on the pipe bomb hoax.

At this point, there is no evidence whatsoever that provocative words from the president had anything to do with the sending of bombs. Indeed, there is as yet no known evidence of who is behind these possible attacks. And speaking of “attacks,” why, in light of the context of a possible bombing spree, is the Times asserting that Secretary Clinton, President Obama, and Mr. Soros have “figured prominently in conservative political attacks”? They have not been subjected to “attacks” in the sense conveyed by this report; they have been on the receiving end of mere political criticism, not the subjects of attempted political assassinations.

There is plenty of media commentary at the moment about incivility, in the form of incendiary rhetoric and actions. This is entirely appropriate. But I’m at a loss to understand how the climate is improved by spicing up reports with thinly veiled suggestions that President Trump may have triggered a series of potentially murderous attacks on political opponents. When Bernie Sanders supporter James Hodgkinson opened fire on the Republicans he targeted and nearly killed Representative Steve Scalise, I don’t recall much Times speculation about whether he could have been set him off by Democrats urging their supporters to get aggressive — “get in their face”; “if they bring a knife, we bring a gun” — when dealing with political adversaries.

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

The most provocative words come out of Maxine, and Booker, and much of Hillarywoodland.

Here's a movie about it

Both sides have their radicals.

The press are only concerned with one side.

Good thing the 'bomber' is cheap.
Here is review of timer device from Amazon:

1.0 out of 5 starsNot worth the return postage.
ByJJon July 17, 2017
Verified Purchase
The clock is what I expected, cheap, but the instructions on how to use it are completely worthless. The clock itself does not identify the two buttons on the right of the face so one is left to wonder which one is the "mode" and which one controls "set." I have yet to get this unit set to correctly tell the time, the date and I think it also has a stopwatch function that I have not figured out and maybe a temperature function if one is to believe the paper it came with. The packaging has not one word of instruction printed on it. Save yourself the frustration and don't bother with this purchase, it's not worth the return postage to return it.

Okay, I see. No True Rightist is a white supremacist.
No point in continuing. You are beyond my help.

Inga...Allie Oop said...


Ricin was also sent to Obama in 2014. I guess you forgot about that.

By a woman trying to frame her husband.

Obviously right wing violence.

You people are desperate.

The best thing about this is the traitors like Romney and Flake outing themselves.

Again.

We all see right through you.

So you won't entertain the idea that this incident is a little too perfect? A little too un-nuanced. And the timing is wrong if it were indeed a right wing nutjob?
It stinks highly of a false flag operation.

If by this incident you mean the pipe "bombs" that appear incapable of exploding, of course I will entertain the idea. At this point it seems more likely than not.

What, in any of my above comments, would lead you to believe that I wouldn't entertain that idea?

So the "bomb" sent to CNN targeting Brennen who works for MSNBC has no stamp cancellation and no USPost bar codes on the envelope. What does this mean? The package was somehow hand delivered into the CNN internal mail system not through the Post Office. Inside job?
