Pipe Bomb or Pipe Dream

Recently there has been some fascinating information released about the DNC pipe bomb. Michael Schellenberger has some good information that sources info from Rep Massie amd others.

Here is what I think is the most damning of the information that makes me think the entire affair was contrived by the US government. The released video shows a person supposedly placing the pipe bomb (with a one hour timer) on Jan 5th and then using their phone to send a text message. It would be simplicity itself to grab the Metadata about that communication from the carriers and learn what numbers were involved in that exchange. Yes, they are likely burners, but even that can perhaps be tracked. Alas, the Metadata around that call at that location at that time was...corrupted and unusable.

The FBI released CCTV videos and photos of the suspect holding a cell phone and possibly texting. The phone would allow the FBI to find the user based on the time and location. However, the data from the phone company that could have identified the suspected bomber was mysteriously corrupted. “There's some data that was corrupted by one of the providers,” D’Antuono said. “Not purposely by them, right. It just — unusual circumstance that we have corrupt data from one of the providers… it wasn't purposely corrupted. I don't want any conspiracy theories…”

Just like Jeffery Epstein's cameras just happened to stop working so conveniently...nothing to see here, move along.

    Once again, in the most humble manner possible, I must say that I am shocked…flabbergasted…astounded…and completely astonished by these revelations.

    If you dig into the comments at the first link, you will see that even an easily ignored resident of the Lower Member Feed was saying things like this almost two years ago:

    philo (View Post):
    As the skeptic I am, the seemingly purposely precise language “both devices were, in fact, hazardous and could cause great harm to public safety” is too vague for me anymore. And again, the lack of a report (and/or any real reporting) by now seems to mean that they want us to forget about this little part of the narrative.

    I will freely admit that I have never made a pipe bomb of any sorts but if I was going to make a couple of props for a cheesy play or movie they would look a lot like this:

    Kamala Harris was inside DNC headquarters on Jan. 6 when pipe bomb was found outside

    FBI Still Hasn't Found DNC, RNC Pipe Bomb-Maker Months After Jan. 6 Capitol Riot : NPR

    And they would be placed just that way for easy visibility for the audience.

    It seems the only suspect that was being sought planted them the night before…an interesting strategy given the 60 minute timers…and didn’t leave any digital footprint even though he/she was seen using a phone. No wonder the “authorities” just want this to go away.

    Until we get some kind of real report (or reporting) on this, I suspect it is safest to assume this was a hoax.

    and

    If that was placed there the night before as we are told by the FBI, why was it not found in the sweep before the VP-elect showed up there that day? (Again, why was she not at the Capitol?) ... Lastly, for now, why do we know so little of importance more than a year later?

    P.S.:

    You: But philo, you can’t “yada, yada” an insurrection. You just “yada, yadad” over the most important part.

    Me: No, I mentioned the FBI is lying.

    The reliably one-way incuriosity of our modern media is an embarrassment to thinking people of all ages.

    The Dan Bongino Show Episode 2169 from this past Friday has some good commentary with matching videos on this. Since he had a decade in the Secret Service on the Presidential protection details, Dan is familiar with the protocols and he can't make sense out of what he sees. And the fact that the Vice-President-Elect was at the DNC headquarters where one of the fake pipe bombs was placed instead of at the Senate where the EC votes were to be counted is unexplainable and why was it kept secret for almost a year.

    More curious, why hasn't Kamala played up the "I was almost blown up" theme? No outrage, no blaming MAGA or white supremacy. Not even a Venn diagram!

    Instead she has been "the dog that didn't bark."

    Many say it was a scheme to discredit the right. But why hasn't the left tried to capitalize on this?
