Prominent right wingers all over Twitter and Fox news are convinced this is a false flag and have zero evidence for that assumption.

 

This is how conspiracies start and spread. It's wild fire.

It's just the standard operating procedure now

  No political figure has to die to work their base into a froth.  This is not Central Europe circa 1914.

Or USA 1919! 

 

 
The 1919 United States anarchist bombings were a series ofbombings and attempted bombings carried out by the Italian anarchist followers of Luigi Galleani from April through June1919. These bombings led to the Red Scare of 1919–20.

Simply put, if this were a political stunt from a group as truly evil as some would like to portray the 'left', these bombs would have detonated and killed their intended recipients.

 

Simply put, you're allowing the narrative to explain the facts.

Again, if the goal of this was truly to engender political support, they would have been dead. That's the logical conclusion if you buy the conspiracythink.

 

There is no goodwill to be gained from having a few pipebombs get blocked by the Post Office security screening. 

it may be that you are two steps ahead in the thought process with regard here. it is conceivable that this is merely the precursor. the precursor attempting to see if they can sway public opinion without having to injure one of their own. if it doesn't work, then yes, your scenario comes into focus.

Fallacy of equivocation. The main reason I don't post here much anymore. Carry on.

  You are just attempting to obfuscate.  Let us just work on "a political figure does not need to die to work their base into a froth."  Why does such a figure need to  die?  This is your assertion.

Oh gees, hope the bombers didn't read this one! The Fed might be next

President Donald Trump delivered some of his most pointed attacks yet on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Tuesday, calling the central bank the “biggest risk” to the U.S. economy.

In an Oval Office interview with The Wall Street Journal, Trump said Powell “almost looks like he’s happy raising interest rates.”

No. I'm pointing out the incongruity between the assertion that this was a politically motivated false flag and its potential risk/reward.

But what we can say is this: Given what Trump has done and said, this was absolutely predictable. In fact, it’s a wonder that it took this long.

It’s not just that Trump advocates violence against his political opponents — though he does. It’s that everything about his rhetoric pushes his supporters in that direction, even if the overwhelming majority will never get quite to the point where they’ll actually commit this kind of act of terrorism.

The first is Trump’s explicit celebration of violence against political opponents. He lauds a violent assault a Republican congressman committed against a reporter who had the temerity to ask about health-care policy. When confronted with protesters, he regularly talks about the violent retribution he would like to visit against them. Some samples: “I’d like to punch him in the face.” “Maybe he should have been roughed up.” “Part of the problem, and part of the reason it takes so long, is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore, right?”

There is simply no question that Trump has repeatedly sent the message to his supporters that politically motivated violence is not a violation of proper behavior and ideals, but instead is perfectly appropriate if you detest the person against whom you’re committing that violence.

Second, Trump regularly says that ordinary legal procedures and systems are inadequate to mete out the harsh punishment that those who oppose him deserve. While every politician has changes he or she would like to make to one law or another, Trump has undertaken a sustained assault on the very idea that we have a legal system that should be respected even if it produces outcomes you don’t like.

Trump spins out wild stories about “deep state” conspiracies against him. He complains that immigration laws prevent the harsh treatment he’d like to deliver to immigrants, and that libel laws unfairly prevent him from suing reporters for criticizing him. He encourages his crowds, even two years after the 2016 election, to shout “Lock her up!” at the mention of Hillary Clinton’s name. By now his red-faced supporters have probably forgotten what imagined crime she was supposed to have committed; all they know is that she opposed Trump, so she should be tossed behind bars.

Third — and this is vitally important — Trump paints for his supporters an apocalyptic picture of the horrors Democrats want to bring to the United States, presenting the most horrific fantasies as fact. That picture is so terrifying that if you were to actually believe it, violence against Democrats might be a perfectly appropriate response.
