The cries of ‘false flag’ after bomb threats targeting the Clintons, Obamas and CNN

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.”

And the left would accuse us of conspiracy mongering. Nobody is more skeptical of conspiracy theories than me. But these incidents just don’t pass the smell test. While right wing extremists have their own crazy conspiracy theories they pale in comparison to the doozies the left come up with. Such as the moon landing “hoax”. One of the leftist rags claimed that NASA paid off then MLB Commissioner Bowie Kuhn 5 million to rig the 1969 baseball season so that the hapless helpless last place NY Mets would sweep through the playoffs, clinch the NL Pennant and ultimately and miraculously win the World Series in order to distract the general public from the hoax NASA was perpetrating. But the one that still, to this day has me LMAO whenever I reminisce about it, the one that should be the gold standard by which other conspiracy kookiness should be judged by, was back in 1981 when the Socialist Worker’s Party and CPUSA put posters up all over NYC claiming John Lennon was killed by the CIA. They said the CIA kidnapped David Chapman, implanted a chip in his butt and programmed him to do the deed. All with the blessings of one time pres candidate Gus Hall who fmr CIA director John Brennan voted for. Even more hilarious than the Trump-Russia joke.

Chris Plante observed yesterday that:

1. At least some of these “bombs” have Debbie Washerwoman Schultz in the return address.

2. DWS is credited with masterminding the theft of the 2016 Democrat from Bernie to benefit Herself.

3. The one prominent Democrat who hasn’t gotten a bomb is Bernie.
