Apparently mail bombers like to package their bombs with a return address of someone who is known to the target and with whom the target would be in contact. It makes the target more likely to open the package if he believes it is from someone he knows and trusts. DWS would have been someone with whom almost all of the targets would have had contact (not sure about De Niro or John Brennan but the rest would certainly have had at least somewhat regular contact with her over the years)
CNN reported it:
Those castor seeds can also be used to make castor oil. You do not get ricin just from contact with castor seeds. They need a reactant like lye to be added to it in the presence of warm water. Then ricin is formed. Otherwise, castor seeds can be fatal only if swallowed.Sorry! I'm understand your frustrations. So just tell me : How about the RICIN?
Which would be a good point if it weren't for the following facts: a) the sender is likely to have been aware that he was sending his packages to people/organizations with mail rooms which open/screen/assess incoming mail, and who do that regardless of who the sender is, and b) the sender was sending real functional bombs, instead of facsimile bombs meant only to intimidate. To me, the sender's methods do everything except include an explicit note that says "I know how to make and send real bombs, and I know the typical methodology of people who send mail bombs, but I've gone out of my way to send you these non-functioning bombs just to mess with you and the media".
You keep trying to use facts with people to whom facts mean nothing unless they are Trump facts.
It’s hard to know how thoughtful or sophisticated this bomber is in making these bombs and planning how to deliver them. I’m not clear as to whether any of these bombs would have actually exploded if someone had opened them- apparently they were rigged with a timer device as the detonator which is an odd strategy if the bomb is being mailed cuz you don’t know exactly when it will be delivered...but maybe he only knew how to make bombs with a timer cuz he’s just not a very good bomb maker?
I can help you with this. None of these bombs were functional. They had only enough authenticity in their design to communicate that the bomber knows how to make a functional bomb, were he really trying to do so. The CNN (Brennan) bomb had an electronic timer attached. That was farcical. It wasn't wired as a detonation device. It was a cartoonish prop. Real bomb makers (as opposed to TV or movie bomb makers) don't tell their targets how long they have to get out of the way! The bombs were not all of identical design. Whoever is behind this is clearly screwing around with his targets, the media, and the police.
DeNiro does not open the mail at his restaurant. Soros' mail drop box was picked up by a mail room that processed it.
Typical uphisbottom bullcrap. The right wing is much more militant and better armed. There wouldn't even BE an antifa element if right wingers weren't such belligerent assholes in thew first place. They are just seeing angst they themselves created in the first place...
We can eliminate the Democrats as suspects for this one. Had they sent it, it would have gone off for certain! Nobody wants rid of him more than them.
If you (blindly) follow Trump the programmed response to any inconvenient fact (Going back at least as far as global warming) is to scream "FAKE NEWS" and continue to pursue your own self-interest. Rump has pointed to lack of civility in the media, he would help immeasurably if he would disable his own Twitter account!
That if I scrolled down this thread a little it would all be presented as some sort of left wing plot. Not just really, really sad, but pretty scary as well...:der:
He must be watching Fox now to find out what his response should be. So far it has been to send the Secretary of Homeland Security to the Mexican border for a photo op about a caravan which is dwindling in size and 1000 miles away.
Sorry, doesn't work. Biden now has 2 as well. The only thing black about him is that void between his ears, and he doesn't even like women (only little girls).
Since we are splitting hairs, however unwillingly, it's as accurate to say the packages tested positively for explosives as it is to say the letters tested positively for poison. In both cases what was actually found were precursor substances from which the poison or bomb could be made. As you said, and quoted me saying.
