On October 24th, 2018, someone mailed explosive devices to the F.B.I. and John Brennan. Two days later, a Florida man, Cesar Sayoc, was later arrested in connection with the mail bombs.
On the day after the bombs arrived, I published my reaction to the incident on social media. What follows is the original text of my reaction.

BOMB
THREATS BENEFIT BOTH MAJOR PARTIES, SCAPEGOAT THEIR MUTUAL ENEMIES,
WILL BE USED TO EXCUSE TOTALITARIANISM
These
(failed, alleged, possibly staged) bomb threats will benefit
Democrats by making them look like victims, and will benefit
Republicans because they will lead for calls that more resources and
funds and power be placed in the hands of police, military, Homeland
Security, Secret Service, etc. (most of which are currently
controlled by a Republican majority)
These
bomb threats will be used to justify attacks against the MUTUAL
political opponents of BOTH the Democrats and Republicans, i.e.,
the American people who pay their salaries.
To
me, this - coupled with Trump's admission in January that it will
take some sort of unifying event to bring the country together -
seems like a False Flag. It could be used as the equivalent of 9/11
for George W. Bush, and the Reichstag Fire for Adolf Hitler. All
lawbreakers, and critics of blind patriotism, will be denounced as
disloyal, and even Democrats will stoop to chastizing citizens for
failing to trust the government enough (even though the Democrats'
supposed enemy is in charge of it).
I
interpret Trump's January statement as a veiled, general threat
against all U.S. citizens; to obey him, re-elect him, and blindly
believe whatever bullshit he's trying to sell them, OR ELSE he will
STAGE an attack on some U.S. target (probably public infrastructure,
which can be construed as a simultaneous attack on the government and
the people) in order to SCARE people into rallying behind him. He is
all but admitting that any and all politically motivated violence and
threats benefit him and the political class.
None
of the worry about politically motivated violence is coming along
with concerns that ALL law enforcement is based on the legitimization
of violence. Statists and terrorists BOTH use violence and threats
and coercion in order to achieve political goals. The only difference
between them is that statists exert monopolistic, exclusive control
over some well-defined contiguous territory, and terrorists don't.
Except
when they do.
