OK, by now we’ve all heard today’s top story: suspicious devices delivered to prominent Democrats.

I’ll join the chorus of people saying this is a “false flag” operation. The whole thing is just so fishy, in so many ways:

1) Why would anyone bother sending bombs to Obama or the Clintons? They aren’t in power any more. It just isn’t the sort of thing people do.

2) Who would benefit the most from this, right before the election?

3) Why would law-enforcement officers let the thing be photographed, when it is the object of a hot investigation? There would normally be a complete blackout. And why would they let reporters get close to a potentially live bomb?

4) Who makes a pipe-bomb that looks like this? Wires hanging out of both ends?? Come on.

5) None of the people targeted even open their own mail. Duh.

6) What’s the deal with the un-canceled stamps?

7) Apparently there may even be an ISIS flag on the CNN bomb. Pipe bombs in the mail? That isn’t how ISIS does things. And ISIS are now unhinged Republicans, who only want to slaughter Democrats? Give me a break. (It’s a false flag squared!)

8) Most such devices are fakes. Actual bombings of this sort are extremely rare.

9) All these bombs, and not one of them worked? It’s pure theatrics.

10) Anonymously delivered bombs are weapons of disorder, anarchy, and chaos. Which side of America’s great political divide does that call to mind?

Just wait a few days. The only thing that’s going to blow up is this hoax.
