A suspect was arrested in Florida on Friday morning in connection with the rash of suspicious packages sent to prominent Democrats nationwide, law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News.
A news conference was set for 2:30 p.m. ET.
Federal authorities had been focusing on Florida as the location where the majority of packages originated.
“Some of the packages went through the mail,” Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen told Fox News. “They originated, some of them, from Florida. I am confident that this person or people will be brought to justice.”
Several of the packages went through a U.S. postal facility in Opa-locka, Florida. The Miami-Dade County Police Department confirmed Thursday it was helping federal agents who were at the facility as part of the ongoing investigation.
The USPS operates an innovative imaging system that photographs each piece of mail processed throughout the country. Investigators were likely relying on that system to pinpoint where some of the packages were mailed.
The FBI says the packages each consisted of a manila envelope with a bubble-wrap interior containing potentially destructive devices. The packages were addressed with a computer-printed address label and six stamps.
A government source told Fox News the stamps are being analyzed by the FBI in Quantico. The source also said the investigation had progressed “significantly” and that the FBI is reaching out to retailers to zero in on where the elements of the bombs were made and where they were sold.
The envelopes and packaging materials were being closely analyzed and likely contain a treasure trove of DNA information. Tiny bits of genetic material – traces of sweat, skin cells, saliva, hair or fingerprints – are typically used as a roadmap to the suspect’s door, investigators and bomb experts say.
Currently, the Washington, D.C., field office and the FBI headquarters have 24 teams in place and on the hunt for the culprit.
Forensic investigators at the FBI Laboratory in Quantico, Va., have been sifting through the packages addressed to former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, liberal billionaire George Soros, former Attorney General Eric Holder, former CIA Director John Brennan and California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters.
The devices are thought to have been fashioned from crude, bomb-making designs widely available on the Internet. Authorities haven’t said whether the devices were built to explode and kill or simply sow fear.
Ryan Morris, founder of Tripwire Operation Group, a company that provides explosives training to law enforcement and military officials, called the devices “Mickey Mouse” bombs that were meant to be found. He told Fox News he believes the primary motive is fear. The packages were sent about two weeks ahead of the midterm elections.
Regardless, investigators are treating the devices as “live” explosives New York City Police Commissioner James O’Neill said.
Larry Johnson, a former head of criminal investigations for the U.S. Secret Service who also served as a special agent in charge of the presidential protective detail, agrees that bomb makers usually leave evidence – and their signature- behind.
“If there is a human involved, there is a high probability you’re going to get somewhere investigatively,” he told The Associated Press. “There will be no stone left unturned.”
Johnson believes it’s “highly likely” the person who built the bombs will have been previously flagged by law enforcement. The Secret Service maintains a wide database of groups and individuals who have made threats in the past against presidents or other top political leaders and activists via email, letters or on social media.
James Fitzgerald, a retired FBI profiler and forensic linguist who, in 1996, helped catch “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski — who killed 3 people and injured 23 in bombings between 1978 and 1995 — told Fox News on Wednesday that the letter sent to John Brennan, the former director of the CIA and a staunch Trump critic, reminded him of something the Unabomber would send because of the amount of stamps used on the package.
“The linguist in me noticed that Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the last name is spelled missing a ‘c’ and John Brennan’s name is spelled missing an ‘n’ and that kind of surprised me and I have a feeling that was done on purpose to make this look like somebody who doesn’t really know who these people are and that it wasn’t an honest mistake. If he had this much anger and vitriol against these people, you would think he would know how to spell their names.
Fitzgerald said that “almost all bombers in the past have been single bombers”, but he added what stood out to past campaigns, including Kaczynski and Mark Conditt, the bomber who terrorized Austin, Texas, earlier this year, for the most part mailed their package bombs separately.
Fitzgerald also said further evidence may present itself.
“There may be some sort of a letter or social media aspect or video tape, or something equivalent to that comes in the mail, a DVD or whatever that claims responsibility for this, but we’re too early, this person had a point they had to make with these devices and quite frankly they’ve made it.”
Fran Townsend, former Homeland Security Advisor in the George W Bush administration, and now CBS News’s security analyst, said the bombs were “not a standard recipe”.
“He didn’t go on the internet and just pull down the standard Al Qaeda recipe which we’ve seen before, so he’s left his own signature, there’s something unique about the way this has been put together which will be very helpful for investigators,” she told CBS News.
**** MOAR BREAKING NEWS *****
The FBI used a specially trained WHITE MALE PRIVILEGE sniffing bloodhound to find the perp.
Oddly enough, the canine’s name is “Toxic Masculinity”
Cesar Altieri Sayoc = Socialist Year
Cesar Sayoc = Accessory
only a coincidence
So they got their patsy before Trump could send troops to the border. Which when he does is a distraction.
It’ll be a Hispanic of Cuban distraction. Those guys always figure in conspiracies like JFK or Watergate.
50/50 that the “bomber” is a Leftist playing at being a modern Machiavelli.
Others have made the point, though, that the “bombs” themselves are deliberate jokes, which does raise the possibility that this was some 4Chan prank, in which case the politics were secondary to the perpetrating of the joke itself.
Hopefully it’s a demonrat, but the truth is, it could be a crazy of any political bent. Actually, the more I think about it, if it’s a conservative, it would probably make sense that he’s crazy – because this stunt would benefit the demonrats. If it’s a demonrat, it’s more likely he’s not crazy – just stupid (redundant).
If is is a demonrat …. CuNNt will immediately stop airing the story. They will switch back to the caravan and.or Russian collusion.
If it is a Repub ….. they will cover the story 24×7 right up to election day.
MSNBC’s Chuck Todd says he “has this fear” that the bombs shipped through the mail to prominent Democrats “could be some Russian operation” to sow division in the US.

Federal authorities arrested a Florida man at approximately 10 a.m. Friday in connection with a spate of suspected explosive devices mailed to prominent Democrats and anti-Trump figures over the past week.
According to CNN, the man was arrested in the Miami area after discovering forensic evidence that led them to a packaging center, when then led them to the suspect – reportedly at a Plantation auto parts store in Broward County.
The Miami Herald, meanwhile, reports that the suspect is from Aventura and is being questioned by FBI agents along with the joint terrorism task force, while KOIN News reports that the man is 56-years-old.
A law enforcement source tells the Miami Herald the arrest was made at an auto parts store in Plantation. Miami Herald news partner CBS4 reports a “loud explosion” was heard at the time of the arrest, possibly from an FBI flash bomb device. -Miami Herald
Broward County!!!! Law enforcement there will definitely solve this caper. Even faster than the Las Vegas shooting, I bet.
I’m scared. Please take away what remaining freedoms I have left and protect me.
Fuck me? No. Fuck you!
Lucky, you are going to love FEMA camp where a large Negro will protect you.
Step 1: Create bomb-type devices and send to top Democrats. Step 2: Unleash MSM to blame it all on Trump. Step 3: Pick out sucker who embodies the typical Trump supporter to confirm the story. Step 4: Amp up media storm to pound home the lesson that Trump is dangerous.
Either that or it’s some leftist loon who thought this would help his party, in which case step 3 is for MSM to ignore it all and return its attention to the horde approaching the border.
That’s only a couple miles away. I’m going to head down in the bunker and ride it out in safety. Scott Israel’s boys might get frisky and start shooting stuff
Patsy
I’m guessing “discretion” isn’t one of Goober’s strong suits.
The stickers say “Hi, I’m a crazy fuquere!”
Further sign of insanity, it’s a Dodge van.
If this van actually belonged to this dupe–and wasn’t decked out for a false flag–that probably did him in. I can just see smiles on the faces of the perpetrators thinking, “Whoever owns this is the patsy!”
This is in SUNNY Florida. . These stickers have zero sun fade. They are new. And not one illegal or heavily pigmented skinned person bothered to dent the van, ever, in a libturd city full of libturds. Obvious false flag. And the msm says he is a white trump supporter …..funny shit if it weren’t doublespeak from 1984.
Will Shyster Dem Narcissist Avonetti offer to defend the suspect?
Where is it unlawful to send “Not A Bomb”s?
aaaaand here’s a picture of the suspect
Fake pipe bomb hoax reveals last-ditch desperation of self-victimizing Democrats (who are terrified of losing the mid-term elections)
0/24/2018 / By Mike Adams
The “fake pipe bomb” events we all witnessed today are nothing more than Democrats mailing fake pipe bombs to other Democrats.
This is their last, desperate ploy to try to control the outcome of a mid-term election they’re terrified of losing. And with that loss will come the implosion of the Democrat party, the mass arrests of thousands of deep state traitors, and the exposing of the left-wing media as a lying, anti-American “journo-terrorism” operation that despises truth and democracy.
The fake pipe bombs sent to the addresses of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, CNN and others are pathetic propaganda attempts based on “bombs” that look like nothing more than road flares duct taped to kitchen timers. They aren’t even good fakes. They’re so obviously not real bombs that much of the internet is mocking the entire affair, pointing out that even Ahmed the Clock Boy built a more sophisticated bomb (oh, but in that case Obama declared it to be a “clock,” not a bomb, remember?).
“Proper pipe bombs don’t have wires connected to both ends. That’s dumb,” observed Tom Sauer, who describes himself as a former bomb disposal officer. “A proper timer would best be stored inside the pipe, making it fully encapsulated,” he says. “This is nearly the same as a bundle of road flares wrapped together with an old-timey alarm clock ticking away.”
(THREAD)
A few observations from a former bomb disposal officer (i.e. Me):
1. Proper pipe bombs don’t have wires connected to both ends. That’s dumb.

Clock taped to “pipe bomb” doesn’t even have alarm function
According to an analysis by #Anon, reported by NeonRevolt, the low-cost clock taped to the fake pipe bombs didn’t even have an alarm function. Via Gab.com/NeonRevolt:
So, by now you’ve heard that none of the “bombs” delivered to Dems today actually worked.
Turns out, #Anons were able to locate the actual make and model of the clock taped to one of the bombs.
Aaaaaaand…
It doesn’t even have an alarm function.
In other words, it can’t count down to anything. It’s literally just to make a “scary-looking” bomb prop.
If that doesn’t REEEEEEK of desperation, idk what does.
Here’s a picture of the China-made dashboard clock, also available on Amazon.com, which shows that the simple clock has no alarm function at all:
With this fake pipe bomb hoax, the deep state Democrats desperately hoped that if they mailed enough fake pipe bombs to each other, they could all blame Trump and proclaim conservatives to be terrorists. But the real violence and terrorism in America comes from the radical Left: Antifa mobs, crazed left-wing shooters at congressional softball games, death threats from left-wing comedians and singers, a constant stream of hate-filled drivel from America-hating Hollywood, the democracy-hating deep state media that pushes fake conspiracy theories about Trump, etc.
Immediate release of the bomb photograph proves it’s all propaganda, not a real forensic investigation
Even more shockingly, photographs of the bomb devices have been almost immediately released to the public, proving the real purpose is propaganda, not a serious law enforcement investigation. If law enforcement were genuinely concerned about these pipe bombs, they wouldn’t be releasing photos to the public.
But, alas, here’s the widely-circulated photo depicting one of the fake pipe bombs:
Nailed it. Also, the photo doesn’t appear to be taken by a bomb tech or crime scene investigator. Bad angle, poor lighting, etc.
So if it’s being taken by a journalist… Why would they let them near a “live” pipe bomb??? https://t.co/8Yq3ldcYIT

No Democrats have denounced the rising mob violence of the lunatic Left
Note, too, that there are no Democrats who have denounced the rising mob violence of the lunatic Left. In fact, they are calling for more violence. Hillary Clinton herself recently said that Democrats cannot be “civil” until they win more elections. Maxine Waters has openly called for left-wing mobs to confront conservatives in restaurants and “push back on them” in a way that continues to escalate toward violence. Eric Holder recently suggested that when Republicans go low, “we kick them,” directly invoking mob violence and a kind of gang tactic that’s used to stomp people on the ground. And Barack Obama famously said that if “they” bring a knife to a gun fight, “we bring a gun.”
The lunatic violence in America today is almost entirely owned by the deranged Left. They are the ones issuing constant death threats against conservative speakers; bashing vehicles on public roads when they’re driven by white men; calling for the killing of President Trump on social media; and threatening to overrun the country with armed communists who have adopted names such as “By Any Means Necessary.”
Since the election of President Trump in 2016, Democrats have descended into mob rule and deranged violence. Their effort to now mail fake pipe bombs to themselves and then cry “terrorism!” is nothing more than a lame attempt to distract America from the real source of violence and lawlessness in America: the lunatic mobs of the Left.

Looks like Mike Adams is wrong.
I posted above article before knowing the suspect they arrested is a pro-Trump fan (his van is covered with pro Trump stickers).
Jeeszus H Krist, it’s gonna be a Free For All Blood Bath on CuNNt regarding Trump and his followers.
Who says Adams is wrong? In 1963, they arrested Lee Harvey Oswald for shooting JFK. It should be SOP for thinking people to mistrust anything and everything being published at this point. If everyone would just ignore the issue, it would die, as all good non-events should.
Maybe, there’s an actual honest NY city cop who left us bread crumbs on the table by showing us the fake package with not enough postage and the package not being stamped..
Once the FBI Gets involved its all over. The people have got to march on Washington and occupy the streets until the FBI and CIA is no longer.
Whut I tell yuh, whut I say?
Alex, I’ll take ‘sanpaku eyes’ for $600.
It’s amazing . CNN is quick to leak classified information. And yet, hadn’t posted video of the currier in its own building.
“Apparently some Acme comedy bombs mailed to a number of extremely rich people, which thankfully did not hurt anybody at all, are infinitely more newsworthy than the real bombs which maim and destroy children in Yemen on an industrial scale.”

SImply find out where he got those cutom stickers printed. FIND the date of printing. Where are the-real investigative journo’s today!
About Monday we will have a much more accurate picture. Until then enjoy the Progtard histrionics.
Llpoh isn’t going to be happy. The dude is supposedly a Seminole injun.
Llpoh can only WISH he looked like that dude. lol
They’re calling him the MAGABomber. And so it starts.
Above pic taken from The Daily Mail, lots of pics and video ….
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6321331/Suspected-mail-bomber-identified-Cesar-Altier-Sayoc.html
LLPOH makes that dude look anorexic
There is so much bullshit flowing you’ll need hip boots before it’s all over. I’ve seen info that he is a registered Republican, registered Democrat and registered Green Party.
True enough.
And one of the Twitter links you posted says his Twitter account (@hardrock2016) follows ONLY Liberals … about 30 of them … and not one Republican.
No, you will need a deep sea diving suit to get through this sea of crap
It’s always like that. That’s why we need to wait a few days for the wheat to separate from the chaff.
He’s likely illegally registered as anything. A convicted felon only registering in 2016.
See here…

Cesar Psyop Jr.? MAGA-bomber? Really?
Supposedly the guy had warrants? While driving that van?
FUCK carrey
Hey boys, time to let the MKUltra programmed nut out of his cage. Looking at the van, it seems that the stooge was trying to keep a low profile. This stinks to high hell and is almost comical.
You couldn’t drive a van like that in any North American metropolitan area without having it stolen, vandalized or simply burned to the ground. I’m calling bullshit.
AND NONE OF THE STICKERS ARE EVEN FADED OR SCRATCHED. NOT ONE. As a matter of fact, they don’t even look like stickers, do they. They look like professionally applied window decals. Professionally applied last week maybe.
Booking photo:
Upon finding out the perp is (supposedly) a Repub …. CNN immediately ordered 1,000 Trump Pinatas.
Trump, and his deplorable followers, will be symbolically beaten on air every hour until morale improves … or, the election is over.
Pretty hard to magically get all these packages to others in DC when you have never left Florida, yet NONE of the stamps you supposedly used have EVER been cancelled, and varying numbers of stamps appear to have been used on the numerous packages “sent.” OBVIOUS DNC staged event.
John Oliver is a dead giveaway. Only libs can tolerate that fuck. He’s a crazy lib, not a crazy conservative. He’s pretending to be a MAGA guy in order to bring disrepute onto the right.
How convenient! “White” Cuban with long rap sheet, lots of Trump stickers on his van…
Were all the packages hand-delivered? If so, he had to have at least one accomplice which makes this a conspiracy, given the distances between where they were delivered.
Were ANY delivered through the US Post Office? Yeah, they had stamps on the packages but none were postmarked from all the pictures I’ve seen.
Also he attended a Trump rally?
It’s gonna take a while to sort all this out…it’s BS so far.
?itok=LF6Ky2wi
Is the beem of light in the photo comming from behind him or is it his camera outside the photo creating that light ?
Could this phot be superimposed?
Since this guy claims to be ‘native American,’ shouldn’t we be spinning this as ‘he has intimate links to Elizabeth Warren?’
Gotta wonder how the MSM is gonna spin all this…. Many folk must have been praying at the altar of social justice, hoping that this guy would be a Banjo picking Red Neck. And now it turns out that the guy sending out the “bombs” was a member of one of those designated oppressed groups.
My thoughts and prayers for all in the Progressive Left.
and then there is this…
and then this little ditty…
https://www.redstate.com/streiff/2018/10/26/utah-man-indicted-mailing-simulated-ricin-president-trump-others/
One thing could be very telling . Sexual orientation.
Sigh, none of the “bombs” exploded (nor could they be detonated), yet all the Journalists are giving each other purple hearts for surviving the massacre. The guy was a registered democrat until 2016, when he switched over to republican. Some of the bombs had lettering something to the effect of “Git R Done,” a typical red neck slogan; I’m surprised that there weren’t pages from the Bible wrapped up inside the device. All his pics of his MAGA experiences are well documented for public consumption, yet all of his links on Faebook are liberal.
And the final kick in the ass, Scaliese was shot at, as well as the rest of the republican representatives, by a lone wolf, Sanders supporter, but somehow, we all collectively helped this psycho build each explosive device and made sure they were delivered to our democrat enemies.
Why would a single act by an incompetent deranged individual stop the red wave? But the blood is in the water and the MSM’ers are in a frenzy to shame every Trump supporter to quiver in fear and turn themselves in to the nearest police department for their being willing accomplices to this heinous act of terrorism.
Trump has the balls to ride out the storm, but do we?
I’m staying the course. Everyone has been so desensitized to “outrage” that it has become normal, expected, even passe.
At least he is not Choctaw.
I know… I was thinking the same thing.
So some poor dude in Wyoming gets his truck set on fire for just having a Trump bumper sticker but somehow this guy is able to ride around hispanicville with a van totally covered in Trump stickers and yet no problems? This whole situation sounds like the biggest load of shit.
Cell phone news applications like Flipboard are sending out all the right information to all the right people:
That the perp is a registered Republican and Trump supporter, with a VAN and that…
nobody is going to mess with your car around here for bumper stickers. Everyone is armed down here. People just don’t do silly shit
This guy has all the ‘qualifications’ the FBI looks for in a patsy they can use to manufacture a ‘terrorist’ incident. Low income, criminal record ( probably been an informant ) and no wife or children. Its exactly what a Peter Strzok thinks would be a typical Trump supporter.
I’m not convinced he wasn’t a plant and surprisingly Rush Limbaugh went out on a limb saying he too has problems with this guy being a real Trump supporter. He usually won’t make this kind of comment without the facts already being known because it can come back to haunt him but he did today!
My thought exactly. This loser lived with his mother or in his van. Where did he come up with the money to pull this off? He left an evidence trail a blind mole could follow. It’s too pat. It sounds very much like where the fbi cons some retard to make a move so they can swoop in and look like heroes. Wasn’t that press conference of the feds crowing about how good a job they did sickening? You’d have to see a Stormy and motorcycle gang porn film to see more blow jobs.
I have a problem with him living in his van. This was Florida. A van would be an oven in the summer. Way too hot to sleep in even at night.
I lived in Sarasota for 24 years. It’s not possible.
if he’s actually Seminole, he’s not living in a van. they get 10-12 Grand a month each, the Hard Rock makes a lot of money
“White-Native American-Filipino- 1/1024% Russian-Trump supporter”.
News at 6:00
Sayoc’s bankruptcy filing lists an income of under $1000 per month down to the penny. Bet he is on disability. Odd for a 56 year old public parasite to support Trump
Nice looking van for a poor guy, huh
Occured to me that Eric Holder’s ‘Fast and Furious’ operation killed more people than Cesar Sayoc.
Heh.
He was a Democrat in the past:
https://web.archive.org/web/20181026155907/https://www.mylife.com/cesar-sayoc/e750795670848
Which means he’s a patsy of the Deep State.
There are a number of discrepancies on Neon’s Gab page including
1) his employer has never heard of him under any alias.
2) his twitter accounts were unused until earlier this year when the accounts started retweeting right wing stuff. Suggestion is they became automated bot accounts.
3) all the people he followed are Democrats and a WaPo editor is one of his followers!
4) someone got a screenshot of an online bio that said he was a Democrat, then a couple of minutes later the listing said Republican
5) all of those stickers on the van are not individual ones. Each window is a single, professionally printed one
6) there seems to be a CIA front company involved and he tweeted Happy Birthday to a friend who he knew at the CIA…..

If you’ve ever looked at the govt’s mail bomb training aides, this is literally right out off the poster. Here’s one example.
[/img]
[img
Why would you use a clock on a bomb if you intended to harm the person who opens the package? You have no idea when the bomb will be delivered. You would probably want to make what the military calls a “victim-operated” switch, like the unabomber used to do. Some kind of simple circuit that completes when the package is opened or the device is removed.
Also, one news report stated at least one device was packed with sulfur. That’s not an explosive. WTF?
They might as well have sent those Boris and Natasha cannon ball bombs with the fuse sticking out through the mail or a bunch of red paper tubes taped to a ticking brass alarm.
Nothing reeks of a FalseFlag more than watching the FBI follow bread crumbs left by the CIA that lead to a guy in a van that is decked out like the Scooby Do Mystery Machine.
POOR Michael Jackson died before he found the secret to becoming white. Simply take a picture of himself and post on social media that he is republican or loves TRump. you are instantly WHITE!
That video was telling, they admit they are jobless, with little,skill and uneducated. Yet for some reason they think these are attractive charateristics to future american emp,oyers? No, they are coming here for welfare because they knowmthey will earn citizenship via the democrats and all tney must do is vote to keep getting free shit. Why isnt Mexico being called racist for not taking them in? Why isnt Mexico being blamed for their living conditions? Why doesnt Mexico give them jobs? Why doesn’t Mexico provide them a living wage or welfare? Why doesnt the msm ask Mexico any questions regarding MEXICO’s responsibilities to these people. IF they learned of the caravan from the the news the UsA SHOULD STOP ALL FINANCIAL AID TO THESE COUNTRYS BECAUSE THEY SENT AN INVADIMG ARMY TO OUR BORDERS IN A HOSTILE ECONOMIC ACT OF WAR. We the people have a Constitutional obligation to uphold it even if our govt wont. And unjust laws are not laws and therrefore can be ignored. A patriot caravan should be organized to form a wall of shoulder to shoulder patriots. Crap, nevermind, the patriots are all working to pay taxes so the democrats can give our tax money to immigrants in the form of welfare, i forgot. Anyways i must get back to work to make money to pay more taxes. Ciao.
Why? I tell you why. Because here just as in Europe it’s about replacing the population. Its about the ruling class having no culture foundation what so ever to be accountable to. Many of those ruling elite live in Mexico. Such as the guy who owns the failed NY Times.
So go tell your Cuck friends who think this about cheap labor or votes to FUCK OFF!
