A bomb sent to Eric Holder was returned due to an incorrect address. A bomb sent c/o Brennan was also incorrect and even incorrect for CNN. The misuse of google makes a pattern.

Black powder is being called a rudimentary device - as well as address research.

FYI...

"In a statement, the White House condemned “the attempted violent attacks.”

“These terrorizing acts are despicable, and anyone responsible will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” the statement said. “The United States Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies are investigating and will take all appropriate actions to protect anyone threatened by these cowards.” "

...
"The news of the devices set off a small wave of false reports. Some media outlets reported that a similar device had been addressed to President Trump at the White House, until the Secret Service debunked the account. An hour or so later, a similar report emerged that a device had been sent to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York, but his spokesman, Richard Azzopardi said on Twitter that it was “untrue.”

Early this month, federal authorities said they intercepted multiple packages suspected of containing the lethal substance ricin, addressed to President Trump and at least two top Pentagon officials."

The attempted assasination or maiming of two Presidents and a cabinate member including mass media and donors, as Biden would say "This is a big fucking deal".

In addition to pipe bombs White powder is being analyzed. Ground up castor bean seeds are poisonous but is not Ricin. Given the lack of evident sophistication, I would not expect ricin.

Holy Shit. I was kidding but the Trumpist Assholes are serious!

Minutes after news broke of “potential explosive devices” being mailed to the homes of former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, along with CNN’s New York City studio, the dark corners of the conservative Internet were declaring it a plot to gin up empathy for Democrats.

Cries that the bomb threats was merely a “false flag” operation were evident on Twitter and pro-Trump forums.

Popular talk radio host Rush Limbaugh hinted that the attempted bombings were set-up by Democrats, saying they would serve a political “purpose.”

Frank Gaffney, an Islamophobe who has held posts on Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) presidential campaign and in the Ronald Reagan White House, suggested the packages were a “deflection” technique. “. “So let’s determine not only who is responsible for these bombs, but whether they were trying to deflect attention from the Left’s mobs.”

John Cardillo, a former NYPD officer and popular right-wing radio host, initially denounced political violence on both sides of the aisle, but quickly broadcast his skepticism that the threats were legit. “Just too coincidental that two weeks before Election Day... explosive devices show up in the mailboxes of Soros, Clinton, and Obama.”

No, I do not.

The hate speech I am seeing is from the anti-Trump bigots, who tell everyone else what they must be thinking. Maybe you should look at what people post instead of assuming everyone is as much a partisan ass-hole as you appear to be.

2- are they mindless Trump Cultists who simply block out reality?

3- are they Christian[sic] fundies who support this anti-Christian POS          for political reasons in support of a theocracy only?

4-are they simply deaf and blind?

The conservative Supreme Court ruled that money is free speech and that Corporations are people invested with all the Constitutional rights of a human being.
Yes it sounds crazy but its true.

'If' explosives are a form of speech we will not know what the bomber is saying until the trigger device is known.

Are they saying "See I could have killed you" or is the message "I want you to die and believe only what Trump says at rallies, never thinking for myself".

Or is the bomber saying, "Boo!"   ?

I don't like you or dislike you, Mr Offer, I don't know you.

But I DO remember you repeatedly damning "radical liberals" for causing all manner of unpleasantness and maintaining that (to paraphrase) that no-one is as good or as bad as people see them.

I assume that this particular observation of yours includes the piece of lying, corrupt, racist crap currently polluting the White House (with his gang of corrupt criminals) and making the U.S. the laughingstock of the world.

If so, you're not a moderate, you're an apologist for the Trumpist arseholes that are taking the U.S. down the toilet.

I'm sorry if confronting you with these facts makes you not like me.

This is presumably just the start. Some Democrats are going to take seats at the mid-terms: some of the new representatives will be murdered. What then?

American history says that assassination works. The black liberation movement never recovered from the killing of Martin Luther King; the Kennedy killings changed a lot. And Trump's Freikorps are going to keep on killing, they won't stop till they have control of the legislature again or have rendered it ineffectual.

yes

THEY ARE BOTH   When we marginalize the inefficient and ineffective people of mediocre talent and bind them further with political correctness you end up with many people who become employable only under a Trump scale of loyalty, greed and defense contractors.

My Struggle and the art of the deal differ in that one was actually written by the author.


What we know:

The prudent thing is to not pre judge without facts. The Hate list of Trump are the 'criminal' Democrats in general and the very recent democratic statements made by each of the individuals targeted.


Also a fake Isis flag and silhouetted women as seen on truck mudflaps appear on the black powder pipe bombs.
I mentioned Biden earlier, who is now the newest recipient of the serial pipe bombs. The talking heads for Trump are in unison pre judging the bombs as a hoax.

New York Times information piece.

"Trump appropriately denounced “acts or threats of political violence of any kind.” But it’s fair to ask: If a person who assaults a journalist is Trump’s “guy,” might not some unstable person think that, by sending a pipe bomb to a news organization, he, too, is being Trump’s guy?"

Its not a real bomb
It is NOT terrorist, it is terror-istic since no one died.

Could this be a red herring? yes
Does this ENERGIZE DEMOCRATS TO VOTE?
I do not see it, do you.




CORRECTION I have heard nothing further about Biden.




I heard the tone of voice when Trump said this was bad. It was a monotone drone of disinterest that was the same voice he used when he apologized for the Charlottesville Nazis.

The truth is that nobody benefits and everybody loses because, irrespective of who is behind these attacks (and they are attacks, make no mistake), they undermine and damage the political process in what claims to be a democratic nation. Not only that, what happens in the US today happens elsewhere tomorrow, or the day after, or the day after that, so democracy and political process in other countries are certain to be so undermined.

Those parcels appear to be small enough they may go through the Post Office "Informed Delivery" system - I read in the NY Times that the postal authorities were searching for photos of more bomb parcels that way. As part of the sorting process all mail passes over a scanner that sorts and directs it. This process captures a photo of each piece, so someone at the post office had the bright idea of letting people know what was headed their way if they wish to sign up for the free service.

I use Informed Delivery - ever since learning about it a few weeks ago I check and see if there is anything at my post office box, saving me a trip if there is nothing of consequence there. So far I've used it by going to the site and clicking the Informed Delivery button and it eventually shows me each letter, but it's slow, takes several minutes to locate my few pieces of mail, so searching the whole system is probably a ponderous process. I'll switch to the email notification and it will be there, one more thing cluttering my email box, but easy to open and see. Perhaps the postal inspector headquarters has a few tools for examining size, font, envelope color, etc.

We are not boiling frogs yet but every Democrat is now being dehumanized.

Think about how you are portrayed as dangerous or part of a mob.
Yep a mobster says you are insane and part of the walking dead.

Maybe you said nothing when some one down the street was deported but now they are coming for you first by name calling and then dehumanization.

The practice of MS 13 in South America is to first extort victims until they kill them when nothing is left to take. When a Trump critic is first dehumanized and the Justice dept becomes a tool of the President it is easy to eradicate dissent.

Like global warming it is too late to avoid great harm. The Trump train has left the station and is headed to extremism we never thought could be possible again.

I hate fear mongering but it works and is becoming more real.
Tacit permission has been given and you need to watch your back.

3)Would the authorities really be so dumb as to allow close up photographs and xrays of a viable device to be displayed for all and sundry to copy?
4a)Authorities are still "uncertain" whether the devices were poorly designed or never intended to cause physical harm.
4b)They are also analysing the innards of the crude devices that were sent through the mail, to try to work out whether they were intended to detonate or simply sow fear two weeks before US mid-term elections.
5) 10 devices sent=all duds. That tells a lot in my book.

You can make any kind of analysis.It could be left, right, Russiam, Chinese. At this stage no one knows. We are close to the mid term elections, Trump's popularity is high for this stage of a Presidency.
I would suggest the timing of these events is to influence the electorate, possibly generating a sympathy vote for democrats. So the question must be asked again = who benefits?
Very clearly it is supposed to suggest Republican guilt, but realistically does that make any kind of sense when subjected to rational analysis?
If a deranged individual was trying to make some kind of statement I suspect at least a few of the devices would have exploded. The fact that none have exploded(and seem to have been incapable of exploding)
suggests someone is playing mind games. The fact both photographs and xrays of the devices have been placed in the MSM suggests all is not what it is supposed to be.
At some stage the person/s guilty will be identified. I would suggest it could be a real revelation when it happens.
American politics is in a very dirty place at the moment with extremists on both sides. This slide into the slime has been caused by Democrats refusing to accept their golden girl did not take the Presidency and they have been resorting to every trick in the book to
stifle Trump's Presidency. Is this another of their dirty tricks?

Legal ramifications:

Domestic acts of terror are not prosecuted under terrorism laws which are reserved only for international acts of terror. Instead the perpetrators are eventually charged with conspiracy or other laws but not terrorism a in the Mura Bld. bombing by Tim McVeigh

The device is considered to be a firearm legally (I know its weird) whether -it works- or not.

There are other legal inconsistencies that can even make a bottle rocket a WMD. Flammability is a key factor in defining a bomb such as butane which is considered more dangerous than gunpowder..

Law can be quirky but the bottom line is don't expect stiff sentences.

The whole thing is so strange. First, Trump condemns the bombing, and political violence, then he's back to "lock her up" and his usual language. Is he so disconnected, that he can't understand he's setting the tone of it all? (I know: stupid question)

I do like the van down by the river analogy, but this guy is just a wacko, the van looked to be relatively clean, just totally bandaged in bumperstickers and posters.

And let us not forget that a gun-totin' wacko shot p a group of Republican elected officials just practising their baseball last year, and one of them was wounded most painfully.

This seems to be being handled by professionals who know how to do their business. And the AM radio idjits are just being themselves.

Well we were promised swift justice.

And he looks the kind of guy who would enjoy speaking from the witness stand.

The thing is, how can you blame a simpleton who has been told by the President that these people have tried to do down his country?

Well obviously you can, Bill Clinton famous got a guy eletrocuted who thought he was sharing the death cell with imaginary chickens, because he thought it would upset the wanker vote to reprieve him.

Still....I wouldn't be surprised if this one is adjudged mentally incompetent to plead. It would save a lot of red faces if he was prevented from getting his day in court.

That may be but my contention is 20% will never believe it and another 20% will be uncertain.


Have you ever seen a hypnotist tell someone on stage that they have entirely forgotten the number 7 and later they are asked to count to ten and they go from ..4 5 6 to 8.. without hesitation?
THAT IS EASY
It is as though not believing something is a natural state of mind for half of us. The smaller 20% can follow suggestions that create a novel behavior or a newly imagined order.

Not believing the number 7 exists, blocking a memory, causes a person to make up an easily accepted excuse ( a conspiracy theory) to rationalize their experience.
I was trained for over two years and self discovered hypnotic truths for 12 years. You have heard me say hypnosis and politics is just one example of how odd we may behave in special circumstances.


It does not matter how bizarre a -lie- , there are people who will believe it. Priests and doctors are sometimes aware of this.


In light of how 'crazy' conspiracies can be, I hope you can see how they do exist in a new light and perspective.

NPR reported that his family has been distressed by this man's mental state for decades, that they weren't able to get him the medical and psychiatric attention he needed (he refused). His stance and noise are totally in opposition to the views of the rest of his family - sounds like he's acting out in a couple of ways here. Someone from the family suggested he's a child in a man's body.

When Trump unequivocably proclaimed I am a Nationalist, over and over That was the signal to loose the dogs of hell and white Nationalists to show their strength. He will say what he needs to say to popularize himself with any wider base. He will not cancel more rallies but will increase them. He says mass shooters will pay the ultimate price but nothing of the victims. When asked how this will stop he said 'they' didn't have any security they wanted to save costs.

It has come to mind half the people on mudcat have associations with nationalism from the time they were kids. It lives within them either silently or as an old normality. Some are practically rabid.

So the real killing now begins. This year the 247 mass shootings have passed a threshold. I have warned directly and obliquly for 20 years with a fist and make no mistake, I won't be missed but I can not associate with the nationalists here.
I was last in line when they dispensed smart,
So in consolation I was given a talent to see beyond and around corners, Now there is nothing left to warn about and my talent is worn out,
The future will be read as history and the warnings are a waste.
All good things must end and the gifts will be swallowed by rifts.
As the right moves from aspirational to operational, friends will be set adrift,
It was not the best way to touch lives but it was my way.
The time to go has now arrived I told you so, now I must go away.
The uncaring cheers may be silence but not knowing where you are going will not save you from war.
For those with an old heart of gold, be well be bold.

If he was a child in a man's body, why aren't investigators asking who gave him the idea, the names and titles of victims, their addresses, and most importantly, how to assemble a bomb?

His bombs were packaged so naively, they might as well have had big writing that said "Caution, contains bomb."

I see this too often - a perp who is mentally handicapped, who commits crimes past his abilities, and nobody asks who put him up to it. Who planted the motive and taught him the method?

The criminal at Margery Stoneman Douglas high school was so helpless he could not operate a microwave or clothes washer. Who gave him the idea of by-passing school security by entering the school against the flow at dismissal time?

The truck driver who attacked Jews in Pittsburgh told police that Jews are committing genocide against his people. Who gave him that idea? The guy was too stupid to figure out a back door out of the building. Who taught him the word genocide?

As much as I despise our current President, he is not the one who taught Cesar Seyoc to make bombs. It is time to find out who, why and how malefactors are exploiting the mentally handicapped.

who gave him [Sayoc] the idea...who put him up to it. Who planted the motive.

Easy! Trump & his violence-supporting Republican/Trumpist enablers & supporters.

who taught Cesar Seyoc to make bombs.

Any one of dozens- if not hundreds- of websites. The information is freely available. Another benefit of the Internet.

The truck driver who attacked Jews in Pittsburgh told police that Jews are committing genocide against his people. Who gave him that idea?

Well, Trump himself to begin with, or his officials/buddies Steve Bannon, Sebastian Gorka, Doug Domenech, Jon Feere, Julie Kirchner,Teresa Manning, Shannon Royce, Charmaine Yoest, or from any of Trump's "Very Fine Nazis" in Charlottesville & elsewhere and from their numerous anti semitic and/or white supremecist websites, from Brietbart, from Qanon- the sources are endless - and the vast majority of them inspired and energized by or approved of by Trump.

Does that help?
