So current options for this are:

1) Right wing lunatic sending bombs to all the boogeymen and women that Fox News and Trump talk about.  Logic?  None, but nuts don't work on logic.  

2) Left Wing conspiracy (given the bombs didn't explode) meant to endear sympathy for Democratic leaders and to encourage people to vote because Republicans are dangerous.  Logic? Not a lot and take a pretty big tin foil hat and cynical view to think this is possible.

3) Russians/Chinese behind these specifically to promote more discord since the above 2 possibilities are what partisans are going to believe.

Ima gonna go with #3.

Can't wait to see what evidence is found and released to the public from the investigation. 

I don't see how #1 could occur, unless it was a group of right wing lunatics, since a lone wolf would be dumb to try and get these through the mail, and set them off with a phone at the right time.

#2 would be political suicide if they did it sloppily enough to get caught

#3 does seem like it could be potentially the case. They make it look like a right-winger lunatic mailed these packages out, then had operatives in the different places hand deliver. It doesn't have to just be Russian or Chinese though, it could be a non state group.

The CNN package photographed wasn't sent though the mail, the stamps weren't cancelled and the package wasn't post-marked.

What is that theory?  I'm not reading your thread in CR and I know you are intimately awar......wait, Hugo, what have you done?!?! 

 

HS: "Babysdaddy, it couldn't be me, I just pointed it out....that would be so stupid to implicate myself!"  

BD: "Yeah Hugo, that's what Sharon Stone said in Basic Instinct and at the end she was holding the knife."

 

 

 

All sarcasm Surly.  I am curious about the theory but am not reading that thread

I concluded nothing.  I presented my suspicion based on evidence and context clues.  

We still don’t know why that guy shot up a pizza parlor where Hillary was supposedly operating a child sex trafficking ring.

[RDCanecutter 26,446]

What the clues point to so far:

1. Knows how to address and send physical mail----> Person is 30+ years old

2. Addresses are all caps--->Person is 60+ tears old

3. Addresses show genetic inability to spell or proofread---->Person has engineering background

4. Used non-padded envelope---->Person has no consideration for fellow humans

5. Sent a pipe bomb---->See #4

[El Diablo 4,232]

If none blow up are they really bombs?

Define terrorist attack? 

What evidence have you seen that supports that claim? 

Remember, in the twin towers, it took a whole 45 mins. to go from accidental plane crash or bomb to 100% sure it's Osama Bin Laden.

Tom Brokaw refused to get tested for Ricin because he is a bad ass and didn't want to give terrorists the satisfaction of making him cower.   Just like war time reporters, some people risk their lives to provide critical information.  How has this thought not crossed your mind?
