I thought there was a possibility that it was actually someone on the right sending dud bombs just to drum up more fear.

I also thought the FBI may have either been holding back information, considering this guy was apparently a complete fucking moron at making bombs but they kept making it out to be a credible threat.

Which apparently constitutes a "false flag" among CE NPC types

TC didn't you hear?

George Soros and Obama conspired together and hired the dude to send bombs to them and others to drum up sympathy. They decked his van out in trump gear to throw the scent off of them.

Yes they are. Half of them are hiding behind a warning while the other half are hiding behind a purgatory. They'll all be out of hiding in a span of a few days to a few months.

I'm definitely not saying this bomb scare was, but it hasn't even been a month since a Soros-funded organization (CPD) sent its co-executive director to create the "elevator screaming" moment.

Some people have been bitching about Soros for years, so when things like that validate what they've been saying, it's no surprise that they keep trying to apply it to new situations. Again, I'm not saying I agree, but I can see why they might jump to that possibility.

Idk what this has to do with anything.

The co-executive director was very open about who she was. Do you think she was lying to Flake about her experiences with sexual assault?

As a non-American it seems really fucking stupid and contrived. Like a zany Saturday morning cartoon plot. I'd say there's some severe ineptitude on behalf of literally everyone involved. The "bomber," several people employed at the post office who seemingly didn't bother following proper mailing protocols, and whoever decided to set up the bombs so nicely for those sweet, sweet photo ops instead of having them properly disposed of if they were indeed live and a threat.

They should have taken a selfie while they were at it with their hand on their cheek and their mouth agape in horror. Then rushed to post it on social media. That's when you know it's serious business.

I lterally just explained what it has to do with it, but I guess I'll say it again.

My point was that some people saw Soros having at least some attachment to the Kavanaugh protest and felt validated for accusing him of manipulating politics. It's not about what I think of her, the CPD, or Soros, it's about why certain people jumped to accuse Soros of involvement with the bombs.

The way I see it, believe half of what you see, none of what you hear and the exact opposite of what media says.

In other words, I have no idea what to believe on literally anything on national news.

What is it with the right and their propensity for collapsing into "FALSE FLAG" whenever someone aligned with them does some horrible shit like this?

Guy sends bombs to several vocal Trump critics? False flag

Guy rams a car into a crowd of people? False flag. Alternatively the protesters made him fear for his life and he rammed in desperation to get away

Group of pasty, bone thin Proud Boys viciously beat up a small group of people? The left egged them on to make the group look bad

Hell they don't even have to be aligned with them ideologically, all they have to be is not explicitly one of the "trouble groups"

Case in point: The Vegas Shooter. They were screeching "bomb the middle east!" "close the borders" when they thought he was Islamic or an immigrant, but as soon as they found out he was some 50something white dude they flipped over to "this has to be a false flag"

Fucking repulsive

I'm just missing the leap of logic from Soros-funded group confront senator to Soros surreptitiously funds a false flag bombing campaign where he is one of the fake targets.

The people who would make that leap already would have made that leap without anything related to Kavanaugh. The kind of people who are always looking for false flags already think Soros controls everything they don't like. They don't care about validation. Everything that happens in the world validates them, because they're irrational conspiracy theorists to begin with.

There isn't much logic behind Soros funding protesters in the first place.

Soros is pretty much just a scapegoat for many things conservatives don't like these days.

Doom_Art does have a point, when far leftist groups start burning down buildings or fucking shit up people on the left usually don't say that there's some grand conspiracy by republicans planting them. At least if a few vocal people do it never sees widespread adoption among the left.

Yeah, I don't really disagree. I do think you're underestimating how powerful one or to instances of validation can be for them though. I mean, Charlottesville was over a year ago and certain people (*cough* Doom_Art *cough*) still point to it to validate their view of the entire alt-right being a raving pack of murders.

I think the leap would be that Soros/"The Deep State"/Illuminati/etc. usually cover it up. Whether it's controlling the media to ignore or distract from their ties, or straight up burying everything, or whatever. But with the "elevator screamers," the information about Soros funding the CPD is readily available on their website (iirc) and I think she was open about being with the CPD. If he was some kind of evil genius, like they think, he wouldn't have made it so easy to trace back to him.
