Looks to me like a narrative shift...

...above anything else.

Been trying not to comment on these bombs until more facts are known. So let's examine the little that we do know...

A) The devices have been reported to have been sent to 8, possibly 9, left wing individuals.

B) The Eff Bee Eye has labeled these devices as "potentially dangerous".

C) Even with the Eff Bee Eye vague information, the devices appear to be very basic and rudimentary. Why would someone risk federal penitentiary time, likely life, and not make sure the devices would actually detonate, causing the most hysteria, or terror, as possible?

D) Why are the postage stamps not Post Office stamped like they should have been had they actually been processed and moved via USPS?

This all seems very peculiar to me. I'm not the most brilliant person in the world, but it honestly looks like it could be a legitimate distraction. The world's eye is on the invasion caravan. And PDJT effectively neutralized that caravan when he went public threatening to cut of funding from Honduras, Mexico and others if they aided the invasion caravan...

So, that means no Soros-funded overnight bus trips because it would be hard to explain how 7000+ heads traveled 400 miles overnight when they have no monetary aid at their disposal.

The invasion caravan, on its current speed and course, will not make it to the US until well after midterms. And the approaching hurricane will certainly slow that tremendously.

Not to mention, if this invasion migration is naught but a political chess piece moving on the board, it has been a very projected move that Trump has already masterfully beaten, and it's definitely riling up the masses to vote in November... but to the opposite effect of what the original intent was.

So what to do? Shift the story to "muh crazy, unhinged conservative bombers set into action by "Orange-Man-Bad's hateful, violent and divisive rhetoric". This may be more, but it has the appearance, at this time, of being just another diversional paradigm shift.

Think of how the Left/MSM have segue'd from one narrative to another ever since Trump announced his candidacy:

Muh Russia to Muh Porn Star

Muh Porn Star to Muh Personal Attorneys

Muh Personal Attorneys to Muh Nuclear War with NoKo

Muh NoKo War to Muh Abused Melania

Muh Abused Melania to Muh Omarosa

Muh Omarosa to Muh Chillren at the Border, back to Muh Russia.

And many other things I haven't even listed because I'm at work and need to get something done today. But just look at it for what it is... Just in the last couple weeks, we have gone from Muh SCOTUS Judges to Muh More Russia to Muh Asylum Seekers to Muh Deranged Anti-Dim Bomber.

This last couple weeks fits perfectly into the habitual outrage narrative shifting of the last two+ years. Therefore, I have a hard time taking the newest outrage as anything more than the newest outrageously embellished talking point. And I hope to GOD I'm right. No matter who sent or delivered these devices, and for whatever purpose, this person(s) need to be locked up forever.

Its why Im thinking this caravan BS is a political stunt . Probably by Trump to rile up his base and others before the midterms . This Bomb BS is the lefts answer to shift the narrative away from the caravan . Alot of minds games going on right now . One thing for sure , Trump is crushing these fools at every turn . Red Tsunami baws!

And we have a media that’s complicit with going along with the fairy tales of the left instead of being the world to reality.

Some are, some aren't.



Otherwise your questions are all relevant.

If you actually believe that constant propaganda began with Trump's announcement, then you haven't been paying attention.

If you believe this is all on the Left, then you are beyond naive, just the way the establishment wants and needs you to be.

The purpose of propaganda is to divide and conquer, always has been, always will be. And there's only one winner in that. And it ain't us.

As usual the DemProgFilth and the MSM are shifting all over themselves.

When Trump says some hyperbole and campaign rhetoric it's "Lies!". When media exaggerates and inflates, and conflates, and hypes, it's just "relaying news/facts". They refuse to accept we're tired of hypocrisy, double standards, and total bull outta the mainstream and DNC and ALL politicians in general.

Just like with commercials, we've completely tuned out, or turned against, being sold crap and told it's gold. We're no longer buying what they're selling.

This appears to be the prevailing conclusion of the poliboard.

It also clearly exemplifies why nothing is going to change in this country. You are fully entrenched in the left vs. right game that the establishment has created to keep us divided.

And you double down with the establishment puppet Trump as the savior.

As always, the establishment wins again.

Was the RNC fighting Trump all the way and backing Bush 100% a ploy?

While I agree that the left/right stalemate paradigm isn't likely to ever change, I disagree that Trump is an establishment puppet.

I don't know that it backed Bush 100%, but of course it was a ploy. This anti-establishment nonsense had to be sold to the public. Who better to sell it than the WWE Hall of Famer himself, the king of scripted "reality."

Those "playing along" will be rewarded bigly.

I've always maintained that the best actors are not in Hollywood.

How else do you explain Trump's continuation of every major establishment agenda?

So what would make Trump anti-establishment in your eyes? What is your definition? Maybe we could all learn something.

The massive establishment war on Trump can not even be debated. In print,radio, TV and appearances everywhere and every day by est. politicians, host, commentators and financiers they proved they were vehemently anti Trump and 100% pro est. Bush.

I will not change history that actually happened to agree with your assertion. Not directed at you Tbird.

So politicians, media and government lie to you 100 percent of the time, but in this one instance they all are telling you the truth? Well, that and also on the morning of 9/11.

I find it very interesting how folks sky scream about a lying media, and corrupt politicians....until it fits their beliefs. Then suddenly, it's the gospel.

The DoJ and FBI going after him.
Tariffs and trade wars.
Making Peace with NoKo.
Demanding NATO pay up. (MiC can't spend more if NATO chips in more)
Going after the fake media the est. pawn.

Just a start off the top of my head.

Not extending and expanding government spying on its citizens.

Not fattening up the MIC.

Not surrounding himself with establishment pillars (Bolton, Giuliani, etc.)

Not continuing with the establishment agenda of regime change in the Middle East (See Yemen, and the recent surge in Afghanistan).

Not holding hands with the Federal Reserve (appointing cuck Jerome Powell to head it).

I don't have all day, so I'll stop there, but you sort of get the point.

Your spinning 180*

You say I believe the msm?

I'm saying what history shows. The f@cking est. hacks appeared everywhere and wrote everything condemning DJT. They put millions behind Bush and Hillary because listen close...that would have been a win for the establishment either way.
