Trump militias planting NY bombs?
The conspiracy theory that Trump-allied militias are planting the NY bombs seems to make some sense. Here are some interesting clues:
1. There have been very few casualties. Militias are AMERICANS, after all, and they do not really want to kill people. They just want to help Trump. If these bombs had been planted by ISIS, you can guarantee that many, many, many more people would have been killed.
2. The word "Chelsea" is pregnant with significance. This smacks of Trump heavy-handedness. The bomb placed in Chelsea could most definitely be an implicit threat to Hillary's daughter. Perhaps it implies that if Hillary doesn't go easy on Trump and throw the election, then daughter Chelsea will be killed in a bomb attack.
After all, why would ISIS plant a bomb in a quiet neighborhood like Chelsea, when they could have planted it in Times Square or a train or subway station? The terror effect would have been infinitely greater, and it would have been just as easy.
3. Naturally, the more bombs going off, the better it is for Trump, because then he can do his "I told you so" number. It reinforces his whole anti-Muslim line and makes Hillary look like an idiot.
4. Trump's propaganda arm, Breitbart has been harping the line that this is a war against Muslim fundamentalists and other foreigners. Indeed. How about if the bombers are AMERICANS, like Timothy McVeigh?
5. The suspect seems extremely dubious. Some IDIOT sleeping in a doorway? WTF!? Serious terrorists don't sleep in doorways after a concerted attack like that. They would almost certainly have some escape plan set up in advance to either hide out in NY or quickly exit the city and go elsewhere. But sleep in a doorway?
Picking up some vagrant in a doorway looks like the cops and politicians are either grasping at straws or trying to set up some dumb Muslim fall guy. Really. A terrorist who sleeps in a doorway after an attack?
These are a few thoughts. They are probably wrong, but it is important to remember that the most MASSIVE terrorist attack in recent history, before 9/11, was the Oklahoma City federal building bombing. And this was done by red-blooded, right-wing Americans. So don't be so quick to buy the line that this is all being done by ISIS. Let's see some proof first.
