So I'm seeing a "double false flag" operation in progress, here...

Bombs being sent to lefty targets. oooo....

But... none of the bombs actually explode, no one gets hurt... ::squinty side-eye::

Could it be... this is just a leftwing 'false flag' operation to gin up sympathy and outrage and get those leftwing 'mobs' to the polling places? OUTRAGE!! October surprise!!! False Flag!!!

Or...

Or...

Could it be... just maybe...

Some very well-planned and expertly-executed RIGHTWING conspiracy to make people THINK the leftwing is doing a false-flag October Surprise operation...???

hmmmm.... on their previous records, what do leftwing domestic terrorists and those wacky "antifa" supporters generally do?

If I recall correctly, they generally march in the streets with signs, chant things, and occasionally damage property or mix it up with rightwing hecklers.

hmmmmm.... on their previous records, what do rightwing domestic terrorists generally do?

The Murrah Federal Building comes to mind. Driving cars into crowds. Mass shootings...

Yanno, it's really hard to tell.

'scuse me while I go pick up the pieces of my head. It exploded a while back...

wearily,
Bright

I can't think of the last time an antifa person sent a bomb through the mail

All the hate, all the conspiracy theories, the only thing we should be shocked about is that this didn't happen sooner.

When you investigate a murder you start by eliminating their acquaintances as suspects. You don't cast a net over the entire world.

Occam's Razor- The explanation that requires the least amount of speculation is best.

political board regulars spend a lot of time worrying about false flags. It's how you can pick them out of a crowd.
