Austin, Texas bombings — March 2018

Discussing the most relevant "sequels" or "reminders" of 9/11. The so-called "War On Terror" is a global scam finalized to manipulate this world's population with crass fear-mongering tactics designed to scare you shitless.

Austin, Texas bombings — March 2018

Unread post by hoi.polloi »

Just thought I would do another very basic run through of the first article I see about this supposed bombing event that took place.

Here we go!
Austin bomber left behind a confession, but it doesn't say why he did it

(CNN)The Austin bomber's motive for terrorizing the Texas capital remains a mystery a day following his death -- even after police revealed he'd recorded a 25-minute confession.

Mark Anthony Conditt recorded the confession and then died after a final explosion in an encounter with police early Wednesday, ending the wave of bombings that terrorized Austin for weeks.
First questions:

1. Did this actually happen?
People do not pay attention to reality. At this stage it would be fairly simple, I think, to say something took place that did not. We find that local events happen that nobody questions. So what "wave of bombings" took place?

2. If something took place or if it did not, it should be clear to all by now that news stories of violence are very much about controlling the narrative of society. So what is being said in the article that we might interpret as "steering"?

But the evidence that investigators have gathered has given them few, if any, clues as to what motivated the 23-year-old man to embark on his spree of violence.

"It is the outcry of a very challenged young man talking about challenges in his life that led him to this point," Austin police Chief Brian Manley said of the video Wednesday.

"I know everybody is interested in a motive and understanding why. And we're never going to be able to put a (rationale) behind these acts."
This is an odd line given that we have been "putting a rationale" on just about every "Crazy bomber" (simmad) story since 9/11 and before that, usually having to do with the need to control people with drugs, take away their freedoms or otherwise express how too much freedom is a bad thing.
Questions remain, too, about what Conditt's intentions were beyond Wednesday had he lived. Authorities who've searched his home said they've found no other finished bombs, but Austin police asked the public Thursday to "remain vigilant and report anything suspicious."
Again, pretty prosaic lines here. "Remain vigilant!" is the mantra of the government since the Communist scare.
The 25-minute recording was found on Conditt's cell phone when police recovered his body Wednesday morning.
In his confession, Conditt described the components of seven bombs he built -- including, authorities believe, the one he used to kill himself -- and detailed the differences among the devices, Manley said.
But the video failed to shed light on a possible motive. He did not make any references suggesting involvement with terror groups or that the bombings were hate crimes, Manley said.
So we are being reminded that most bombings are explicable as being involved with "terror" groups (usually this is just the media's way of scapegoating Muslims again, let's face it) or as hate crimes (where in America this is probably the more truly likely possibility, though we ought to be looking at those stories with a careful eye now).
Search of bomber's house
Federal agents on Wednesday and Thursday searched the home that Conditt shared with at least two people.
SWAT vans, robots and dozens of officers in tactical uniforms flooded the streets of Pflugerville, a suburb of about 50,000 people north of Austin.
Inside a room, agents found components for making similar bombs to the ones that exploded in the past new weeks, said Fred Milanowski, special agent in charge for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' Houston office.
Agents did not find any finished bombs Wednesday, Milanowski said.
[...]
The devices that exploded in Austin and near San Antonio were pipe bombs with batteries and smokeless powder and were constructed with materials found in a hardware or sporting goods store, a law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN
The bombs had distinctive shrapnel inside. Some had "mouse trap" switches and others had "clothespin" switches, the source said.
It almost seems as though this article is instructing people on how to make bombs or at least become familiar with homemade explosives, which seems rather frank. Speaking of frank ...
Frank Alvarado and his two children were among those asked to evacuate homes and businesses within five blocks of Conditt's home as agents removed explosives.
"You would never think it's going to happen over here because everything was happening down south," Alvarado told CNN affiliate KXAN. "You never think it's this close to home -- I'm just two blocks away."
So I suppose the point of expressing this is to remind us that it very well could be close to home. Isn't it odd how the government continually tells us to remain comforted by them while they express bafflement, idiocy and loss over very simple tasks? Maybe it's not so odd since it creates a perpetual feeling of looming panic and death.

It also makes us think the government is completely "taken by surprise" when a bomber starts collecting bomb materials. I suppose we should be thinking we now have rationale for the surveillance that's been going on since AT&T/CIA turned their attentions on everyone as potential enemies of their paranoid state.

Pink gloves, receipts led police to suspect

Knowing that all the bombs were made from common household items, investigators hit area stores, scanning receipts and looking for suspicious purchases.
The search provided authorities with enough evidence to consider Conditt a "person of interest." Then surveillance footage from a FedEx store south of Austin captured a man in a baseball cap, blond wig and pink gloves bringing two packages to the store.

[...]

"Police say that they used that as the final piece to put all of this together, really in the past 24 hours," Tony Plohetski, an investigative reporter for the Austin American-Statesman, told CNN's "New Day" on Wednesday.

Investigators used cell phone technology Tuesday night to track Conditt to a hotel in Round Rock, about 20 miles north of downtown Austin. There, they spotted his vehicle.
We are told how to make bombs but we are not told what "cell phone technology" was used to uncover the bomber. I suppose this is just something we are all supposed to know? Or what?
Police and federal agents gathered outside the hotel but didn't move in immediately. They wanted to wait for backup because they were dealing with a suspected serial bomber.

They were awaiting the arrival of those teams when, some time later, Conditt took off in his vehicle. Police followed him as he drove on a service road along Interstate 35 until he stopped on the side of the road.

As a SWAT team cautiously approached, Conditt detonated a device inside his red SUV and died in the blast.
It is pretty interesting that, if this is fake, we have another case where the simmad blows himself up and creates an even more convenient ending than life imprisonment somewhere nobody (unvetted) can touch.

Conditt's two roommates were detained and questioned by police as investigators tried to determine if he acted alone.

They were not arrested, and neither roommate was publicly identified.

Jennifer Withers said her son moved to Conditt's three-bedroom home after a friend told him about a room for lease.
In the three months that her son has lived at the Pflugerville house, Withers said she never saw Conditt and that her son didn't express any concerns.

"Nothing seemed out of the ordinary," she told KXAN. "We didn't suspect anything. He didn't suspect anything."
Well, this is a strangely empty story, is it not? What is the reason for so little relation to the "war on terror" or gun control (unless we are meant to imagine that the proper way to dispose of these mad characters is preemptively arrest people for just the idea of fear and terrorism popping into one's mind)?

Perhaps it's not worth reading too much into this story. Instead, it would probably be best to investigate the so-called wave of bombings and see if any of them looks suspicious or has the hallmark of a government action.

Does anyone have reason to believe any "bombing" in the Austin, Texas area?

Thanks for the analysis, Hoi. Your brief foray into this incident is at a Ph.D. level of research and exposition compared that of most, who are confined to strictly ingesting their information from televised video clips and the mere seconds long accompanying sound bites repeated ad nauseum. I cannot count the number of times when I have iterated aspects of these events that are part of the published narrative and received responses of incredulity. If people took the time to explore the narrative in depth, the job of fakeologists everywhere would be much easier.
