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.

Has it always been this way and we're just now finding out?
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:
and
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?
