Bomb technicians say devices had hallmarks of fake explosives

Since this story was originally released by the NY Times and then covered by CNN, the home of fake news, additional vetting was required to determine if the story could be true.

 

 

Thus, I searched FOX News to come up with the real story.

Fox may error from time to time, but they don’t make up stories like the ones ginned up by the leftist media.

This finding is clearly confounded by two variables:

Who watches Fox News?

And those who can’t handle reality.

They are under far more scrutiny than the known purveyors of  “Fake News,” like MSNBC, CNN, NBC, Sixty Minutes and so on. 

 

If the reader desires the truth, turn to Fox News

Why do people think that CNN are biased leftist clowns?

People don’t think that they know it.

I just wanted to post something about the reports we’re all hearing about devices that look like bombs that are being sent to a few prominent Democrats.

 

Although the death threats to Republicans, mob violence against Republicans, and bombs sent to Republicans were not news, the mainstream media has decided that this is news, and so I must respond.

Here is an article from the far-left New York Times.

They write:

Some bomb technicians who studied photos of the device that circulated on social media suggested that the bomb sent to CNN had hallmarks of fake explosives — the kind more typically depicted on television and in movies, rather than devices capable of detonating.

A digital clock was taped to the middle of the pipe, a feature that experts say is typically shown on fictional bombs in an attempt to ratchet up dramatic tension, but unnecessary in real life.

In fact, bomb makers generally avoid attaching visible clocks to their devices to keep from tipping off their targets about when the bombs are set to explode.

That’s not stopping CNN from running wall-to-wall coverage about how real their bomb is, though.

Do you know what wasn’t news, though? The packages delivered to Republicans.

The same NYT article explains:

Earlier this month, federal authorities said they intercepted multiple packages suspected of containing the lethal substance ricin, addressed to Mr. Trump and at least two top Pentagon officials.

In February, an envelope containing a white, powdery substance that investigators later determined was cornstarch was sent to the Manhattan apartment of Donald Trump Jr.’s mother-in-law.

One ex-Navy EOD bomb disposal expert tweeted out his skepticism on Twitter:

A few observations from a former bomb disposal officer (i.e. Me):

1. Proper pipe bombs don’t have wires connected to both ends. That’s dumb.

2. You can find timers / remote control receivers WAY smaller than whatever that white box is.

A proper timer would best be stored inside the pipe, making it fully encapsulated.

That thing is just silly looking.

3. “Hoax Devices” are FAR more common than real ones.

4. Bottom Line: Whoever made that wanted it to be painfully obvious to anyone and everyone that it’s a “bomb.” This is nearly the same as a bundle of road flares wrapped together with an old-timey alarm clock ticking away.

I think we need to be cautious about this because we know that people on the left are prone to faking hate crimes against themselves.

We’re two weeks out of mid-terms right now, and the Democrat candidates need all the help they can get from the media.

This news story definitely helps the Democrats counter the #jobsNotMobs theme of Republican candidates.

That’s why I think we should be skeptical and wait for the evidence.

Just to be clear, whoever sent those packages should be found guilty of domestic terrorism, and sentenced accordingly.

However, we don’t know who is responsible right now.
