The cries of ‘false flag’ after bomb threats targeting the Clintons, Obamas and CNN
Washington Post ^ | Oct. 24, 2018 | Abby Ohlheiser & Avi Selk

We knew nearly nothing, except that the Secret Service had intercepted “potential explosive devices” targeting the Clintons and Obamas, while investigators also looked into a suspicious package at CNN’s New York offices. Days earlier, authorities found an explosive device in the mailbox of liberal philanthropist George Soros. We did not know who sent them, or why, or what exactly the potential devices were.

But John Cardillo, a right-wing media personality, was already tweeting out his suspicions.

“Investigators need to take a serious look at far left groups like #Antifa when investigating the bombs sent to Soros, Obama, and the Clintons,” he wrote in a now-deleted tweet. “These smell like the false flag tactics of unhinged leftists who know they’re losing.”

At this point we still don't know anything, so nobody should jump to conclusions.

This may have been a terror attack.

But the Dems are already trying to blame it on president Trump, when in fact the democrats were the ones inciting violence.

I would not be surprised if it turned out indeed to be a false flag operation, to try to smear Trump and Republicans before the election.

With the election so close, one should be cynical and suspicious.

.... I am more inclined to think these “Bombs” actually don’t qualify to be under the category of a “False Flag” operation ..... However ...... I’m pretty sure they would, more than likely, qualify as a “Prevarication Banner” operation.

Another “democrat” stunt to follow up after their Kavanaugh fiasco. This one turned out worse.

You don’t need a weatherman to know which direction a false flag flies.

We know that none of the devices were real.

We know that bad spelling was used on the envelopes.

We know that nobody was in danger from these devices.

A false flag would not want to harm those on your side.
A false flag would make the story more important than the details (non-functioning devices)

A real attack would have some partly functioning devices.

This is no different than the orchestrated hoax they tried to pull on Kavanaugh.

Pure, premeditated, purposeful fraud for political gain.

All they do is throw out lies an head fakes, tricks and illusions.

The Democrat Party is utterly full of shit and extremely dangerous.

You know what the best thing is?

When the Democrats try their stupid ass stunts these days, all it does is up the quality of the humor.

False flag operation is a very good possiblility - especially with data showing the Dems losing the midterms. You also have to keep in mind that NOT A SINGLE ONE of the “devices” actually exploded.
As many military veterans, scientists, blue collar workers, ect as there are in the Conservative movement; I have a hard time believing that if it was a Conservative doing this that they would be #1) dumb enough to send them via mail and #2)unable to get a single one to detonate.

Mail bombings are generally a Liberal cowards way of doing things.

Could be a prank from some high school joker.

Sell your story before you get caught, prearranged political statement, get famous, juvenile sentence, run for office in a few years as an anarchist... they’re getting more popular right......

Just don’t know .
