They caught the MAGAbomber, praise be; in part from the fingerprint he left on one of the two bombs he sent to Maxine Waters. I hope Waters gains some comfort from that instance of karma.

The Trumpists still claim a “false flag”. I find this philosophically disturbing. “False flag” is a universal reality denial. The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor... or so FDR wants you to believe. The sun rose in the east today... but it was a fake sun rising in a fake east. Two plus two is four... according to the liberal media. Your great-great-grandmother is dead... but her skeleton is a crisis actor. And so on. Of course that’s insanity; specifically psychotic dissociation.

But at least we now see the limits on stochastic terrorism. The trouble with stochastic terrorism is that though the Leader can guide the Minions, at first, eventually he can’t; and though the Minions can’t be linked to the Leader, at first, eventually they can. Control without responsibility becomes responsibility without control.
