Later Wednesday, officials said such packages had also been sent to Eric Holder, who had served as attorney general under Obama, and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., former chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. A report that such a package was sent to Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris' office in San Diego was later found to be incorrect, according to Harris' office and local police

Not Zig Forums but wouldn't honestly be surprised if this wasn't just the eternal NeoLib trying to swing votes a bit

Neoliberals don't need falseflags, they can just funnel more donor money. It's legit.
Luke Anderson
Thinking about how this will or won't sway the midterms isn't the right way to think about how far-right extremists operate.
Justin Lewis
Basically, "wouldn't this hurt the Republicans' chances? Why would someone do this?" But the guys who mail nail bombs to politicians and George Soros are not thinking like that. Those guys think we're on the precipice of the Apocalypse.

I'm surprised to see anyone here condemning this. If it isn't just a false flag it should be applauded.
Adrian Myers
Terrorism is actually incredibly shitty praxis. Read Lenin.
Cooper Morgan
this. none of us would be sad if they went off, but were (most of us) also not pathologically obsessed with muh ebil individuals and are more concerned with the systems they administer. bombing even important people to stop exploitation and corruption is still only a few degrees off from incels shooting up a school to get laid
I agree fellow comrade. Let's not commit any acts of violence against the capitalist powers. Peaceful protest is definitely the best form of revolution.
Jaxson Cook
No, Lenin. He was against individual terrorism. That's the category this currently sits in. There's also that comment that he made to his mother about his brother's terrorism, which got him killed.
Lucas Long
Like another person said, lone-wolf terror is awful praxis, as is most other kinds of “propaganda of the deed”-type acts. Not that I would shed any tears if Obama, Hillary, Soros or some CNN staffers got blown up. Stuff like this actually makes normal people cling to the establishment even more since it is “safe”. For left-wingers the goal is complete social revolution and the full-scale dismantling of the capitalist system. Picking off a few politicians doesn’t do much and is in MOST cases probably more harmful.
I do hope this is some alt-right fag though. I love watching them shoot themselves in the foot over and over
David Price
No, let's act smug on the internet while strawman people instead.
Same reason artillery shells and missiles get doodles on them
Ryder Murphy
Doodles in artillery shells I can understand, all these pictures do is being a HUGE source of evidence, why would any bomber that doesn't wants to get caught do that?
Oliver Nelson
There's no evidence this isn't some kind of CIA/FBI false flag.
Jaxon Ortiz
WITBD and LWC:ID spend pages shredding terrorism to pieces.
Benjamin Sanders
best course of action is to probably remain agnostic until more information comes out.
Lincoln Turner
Is it just an imageboard thing or do we have to accept the more outlandish scenarios before comig to the likely more mundane reality of this just being some far-right nutjob? Muh false flag gets old and loses its power when it is applied to every single event that ever happens. I bet the CIA and FBI love people thinking they’re this omnipotent.
Chase Robinson
Don't they shit out CIA/FBI conspiracies so people think they are all powerful?
Oliver Sanchez
I’m sure they do. Just look at how fast the mere mention of the words COINTELPRO can shut down and deter people from organizing online
Alexander Roberts
I think if the CIA or FBI was involved, they probably facilitated right-wing groups and stoked fervor. It wouldn't have direct involvement in sending out the packages. That seems to be their MO, at least. If you've been following their involvement with ATOMWAFFEN, I'm guessing it's something similar.

These "bombs" are so shoddy I'm leaning towards GOP false flag masquerading as DNC false flag. It's a false flag nesting doll.

That's just one of many externalities. It's not the objective.

What if it's an Anarchist who wants the Dems and GOP to go at each other's throats for shit and giggles.
Jackson Gray
It's all tied up with this Qanon bullshit. There've been cries of false flags for weeks now on Zig Forums. The thing about false flag mentality is that every time an event doesn't fit your narrative it proves its falsity

Obviously we know the FBI tries to stoke people into doing stuff like this, but until I see something suggesting that “intel assets” are behind this, any screaming of “MUH FALSE FLAG” is just retarded and baseless. People have agency beyond being manipulated by government agencies. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong, who knows. I
Ryder Taylor
because they want to be caught.
Kevin Myers
They can't even do it WU-style, put bombs and tell people to fuck off in time.
user, the Soros bomb was opened and taken to a forest by the guy that opened it for safety.
At what point does this bomb go off? It doesn't respond to opening, it doesn't respond to light, and how the fuck would it work on a timer? How would it work on a remote detonator? How would someone be A) Smart enough to make a bomb but B) Too stupid to realize the former president and secretary of state don't check their own mail?
It stinks of bullshit. At most this is a homegrown ISIS attack where some sap has been assured that shitty designs and plans will work, and in that case it's probably designs and plans dreamed up by The Feds. Actual ISIS homegrowns not being rused who fuck up typically have some effect hinting at competence, like getting caught with a gun, beaten up by police mid attack, or the bomb malfunctioning, they don't fuck up by mailing a shitload of duds that do fuck all to people who obviously have their mail checked. That's farcical.
Bentley Turner
What motivation would the government have in false-flagging a bomb-mailing spree to prominent Democrats and news organizations?
Even Boomers would still remember that the Feds used to fuck with those people and far-left group via COINTELPRO
William Collins
I mean it's either that or some guy is playing on a level we can't even comprehend (by that I mean functionally retarded or playing some kind of galaxy brained gambit).
The government are known for tricking tards into launching failed plots. This plot was doomed to fail. The guy doing it is obviously going to get into a world of trouble for it, so why didn't he do something that to him had tangible benefits? Why the fuck would a Jihadi (going off the stickers) do something that doesn't kill someone?
To be honest saying this out loud now the only other way this makes sense is if some Zig Forums headcase did it, but even then it's a fucking dumb idea.
So, Feds or Zig Forums?
Charles Hernandez

Owen Jenkins
How is it retarded and baseless? Did you see the image of the device that came from CNN?
1) No postmarks on the stamps. It wasn't sent through mail. 2) These high profile people never check their own mail. 3) Pipebombs use leads into one end, they don't use a wire for each end. 4) The package was "sent" in a bubble wrap envelope, which NO ONE would do, because the device would be detected a dozen different ways, it's be sent in a box 5) even in a box it'd be detected anyway 6) NONE of the six explosives went off 7) the CNN one has a clock on it that has no timer and no alarm…so not only does it have no trigger, but even if it did, why would you use a timer for a bomb package? That practically guarantees your intended target isn't gonna bite the dust 8) this is extremely politically convenient timing 9) I don't care how fucking good your operation is, no one would possibly be able to organize all these packages getting to their destinations on the same day. I work in a shipping distribution center and peak season just started, there's no fucking way all six packages got where they needed to be all at once.
There are probably a couple other tidbits I'm missing but you get the point. The bullshit stench wafting off of this is absolutely potent. Maybe it was done by the establishment retards who thought this would get Dem support, maybe it was a false flag done by a progressive idiot who thought the same, or maybe it was a double false flag done by someone on the right. Whatever the case is, this isn't legit.

Jonathan Clark
What Leftists politics does the CIA support?
Jaxon Reyes

Beats me. My theory is a retarded Trump supporter who was baited by the FBI with fake instructions to make bombs after they caught whiff of a plot. Of course, I don’t have any evidence to support this but it could be plausible
Lincoln Anderson
Honestly as the points stack up in this thread I'm starting to think it was an associate of the Clintons and Soros with Obama in the know?
This just gets fucking wackier the more you try and pick it apart. Who is writing this crap?
Dylan Ward
Not Leftist
Liam Richardson
But as someone else just pointed out, the envelope has no stamp on it.
Unless they made their own envelope for some misinfo purpose?
You're not making the distinction between "the government" and some retarded politicians. I extremely doubt this was done by the FBI or CIA or whatever other alphabet agency. They'd know their shit and this would look far more convincing. If it was done by any government people, it would be clueless, retarded, limp wristed soft handed politicians who've never worked a day in their life.
A few more things
10) The postage is incorrect for the weight of the package. 11) Brennan works at MSNBC, not CNN, draw your own conclusions from that 12) these most obviously were not sent through any kind of distribution system, yet multiple devices were found in multiple states. How can a single bomber be in multiple states at once? How did these get to where they needed to be without going through USPS and were hand delivered by "messenger" or whatever?
Ethan Diaz
Oh right and one last thing
13) any bomb threat is handled very seriously. if this CNN pipebomb was legit, the last fucking thing that would happen is someone standing right next to it taking a picture of the damn thing, bomb squad would have destroyed it. Any image of it, if there were to be one at all, would only show mangled remains or at the very least cut wires. Someone removed that device from its pristine, not-mailed package, and took not one but several photos of it as it sits their undetonated…with a supposed timer on it (that isn't actually a timer but no way the photographer could know that).
