Multiple state capitols receive bomb threats, prompting lockdowns

At least six state capitols across the country received bomb threats early Wednesday morning, prompting evacuations and lockdowns, though no dangerous items were immediately discovered.

Evacuations and lockdowns were reported at state capitols in Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, Connecticut and Michigan due to apparent bomb threats. It’s not clear whether or how the incidents might be connected.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear posted on X, formerly Twitter, that the Kentucky State Police (KSP) was investigating a threat and had evacuated the state capitol in Frankfort.

“While everyone is safe, KSP has asked everyone to evacuate the state Capitol and is investigating a threat received by the Secretary of State’s Office,” Beshear posted. “We are aware of similar threats made to other offices across the country.”

Michon Lindstrom, a spokesperson for Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams, said in a statement that a threat was sent to secretaries of state across the country as a “mass email.” Lindstrom said the building was evacuated between 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. local time before reopening at noon.

The threat did not specifically mention certain secretaries, but Lindstrom told the The Lexington Herald-Leader that the email said bombs had been placed in state capitol buildings.

Another threat was reported at the Georgia state capitol, according to Gabriel Sterling, the chief operating officer for Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

Joe is set to make another “Dark Brandon” speech on January 6. Is there a connection?

Is this an act by the much-dreaded “white supremacists” he’s going to talk about? The “greatest threat” to our “democracy” (when it’s not global warming)?

This must be a secret white supremacist code.

I am sure the geniuses at the FBI can crack it.

Lol.

Someone’s probing. Checking response times, mannerisms, etc.

Call it ‘electronic recon’.

So, I read a couple of articles on this, and saw no particular organizations ‘taking credit’ or anyone making demands etc.

Is this just some sort of scheme from the people in the Capitols setting the stage for future false flags, people wanting the day off, or what?

Someone’s probing. Yes.

Expect more of this closer to election day.

“ mass email”

Most likely some bored, socially immature high school sophomore. He’ll be caught soon.
