Reports are that the packages did not have sufficient postage and also lacked cancellation stamps ... suggesting they were placed by hand.
Clearly a fαℓѕє fℓαg to make it LOOK like some disgruntled conservative was doing this. None of the bombs actually went off, suggesting that it was just a statement.
I've learned how to identify fαℓѕє fℓαgs:
1. Flashy, impressive, or at least Hollywood-worthy
2. Little "substance" (substantial damage/casualties)
3. Mostly just generates fear, anger
4. Convenient scapegoat, either assumed by the population on their own, or quickly identified by Mainstream Media
This applies to 9/11, Pearl Harbor, and just about every other fαℓѕє fℓαg.
Let's put it this way: if you were a Muslim who REALLY wanted to bring "the great S----" to its knees, you wouldn't fly a 747 into the World Trade Center in a spectacular, fiery (Hollywood) explosion. You would just need a bolt cutters and a little research. (Yes, I'm talking about data cables)
Attacking the infrastructure would do WAY more actual damage to the country, but it doesn't look as well on "repeat" on the 5 o' clock News. It's not as glamorous.
People don't stop and think.
(P.S. Yes, I caught the joke -- "they would use less box cutters and more bolt cutters..." hahaha)
