Since Monday night, 5+ packages have been intercepted by Secret Service and law enforcement - confirming that each one contained a live explosive, most in the form of a "pipe bomb". CNN headquarters also received a device, leading to the complete evacuation of their New York offices. These acts of domestic terrorism highlight a dangerous time in American politics - especially in regard to free press and ideological conflicts.
Many of us can remember the immediate effects of 9/11: patriotism, uniformity, and togetherness. When terror strikes today, social media has helped influence the dark side of tragedy - lunacy and unhinged finger-pointing. With social media allowing instantaneous communication, like-minded individuals can form a plot and narrative before the story even gains traction. Today, the attempted bombings are labelled as left-wing false-flag conspiracies, implemented to influence voters before the midterms elections in 12 days. False-flag drills certainly have occurred in the past, but the reactionary finger-pointing of the left & right has made a potential act of terrorism against ALL Americans into another divisive milestone towards a cold civil war.
