Does anyone know if they were actually pipe bombs? Or is this just another huge FBI gay-op LARP because some mentally ill person attached a timer dial to a section of aluminum extension pole?

They were fake. You don't use a mechanical kitchen timer, in general. You do electric. You especially don't use a one hour timer to set bombs up for the next day. And even if you did, you would at least need to wire them up, you can't just hotglue and timer to a pipe and call it a day.

Also, watch how that guy moves, just casually bouncing the "bomb" off shit, he was not at all afraid of it going off (another reason not to use mechanical timers, they like to go off if dropped). And he just stands around after dropping it off. Bullshit. If it were real he'd GTFO.

he was told to stand there at that address and wait for further instructions.

he checks his phone

they don't show any video of him getting the bomb from a car as they mention, but how do they know this yet refuse to show the car? is it an FBI car? lol

This bomb thing had Fed glow-worm op written all over it from day one. Putting this video out didn't lessen that fact. It seems even more suspect than before.

they're still operating like this is the 90s and we aren't dissecting their operations piece by piece in real time.

They'd be better off memory holing this like Las Vegas than trying to continue with the LARP

I agree, he appeared to have no idea what he was dropping off. Even if he knew they were fake he'd gtfo purely from a perspective of not wanting to be identified or caught.

Unless he knew he had political cover and knew he'd never be arrested.

I don't know how you wouldn't still be nervous as fuck, someone at that level would more likely be disappeared than protected if they got close to being revealed.

It's like they had some people build something that looks like a bomb but was never intended to actually blow up.

This. The bomb pic the FBI put out looks like an egg timer super-glued to a metal pipe.

Yep, and exactly what the fuck is "home made gunpowder"?

Saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur. You want to mix up a paste, dry it, and then mill it for hours.... it's a lot of work and only fireworks aficionados ever do it.

And people who don't want to be on file for buying gunpowder the week before a bomb scare.

Look—you just attach the timer to the match, which lights the fuse.

Goodness, has no one watched Wiley Coyote?

He was just distributing his home made cool clocks that he made for school.

In all seriousness, I don't think they ever released images of the "devices" and I've never seen any footage of bombsquads removing them on a day when there were millions of independent cameras in a city with more cctv than Vegas.

The bombs are fake, they were never meant to detonate, and they were meant to be "found" to further the fake insurrection narrative.

There's an image in the literal Fed post. It's some bluish aluminum looking tube with a hugely outsized dial from something like a old school kitchen timer and what looks like a wire sticking out.

I mean, don't get me wrong, It's possible that it could have been a working bomb, but I want to know if it even theoretically could have detonated, let alone produced any kind of damage.

Probably about as real as cool clock Ahmad. Looks nefarious at least.
