I haven't always been a fan of the FBI, especially when the agency seemed to be little more than Richard Nixon's Department of Dirty Tricks, but recently, especially since the Trump administration seems to have declared its own personal vendetta on the agency, my opinion of the FBI has become more favorable. The agency does it job - and does it well - even with people like Jeff Sessions and Trump pulling at the brakes and constantly trying to limit its powers.
Yesterday the FBI arrested Cesar Sayoc, Jr, a 56-year--old man who has a long history of criminal activity. Sayoc, a bodybuilder with a history of taking steroids, has worked as a stripper and bouncer in south Florida where he lived. Recent photographs would suggest that he is probably no longer dancing for dollars.
I predicted in this space two days ago that the FBI would soon solve the MAGA Bomber case, and the ink on that post had barely dried when an arrest was made. I also predicted that the bomber would ultimately be revealed to be a white male (correct again) who sat in a darkened room all day listening to Fox News. It turns out that the "master" criminal who sent out at least thirteen pipe bombs, none of which detonated, didn't even have a room to sit in. He was apparently living in his van, a sad sanctuary covered in stickers promoting Donald Trump and condemning people and news sources which Trump openly labels as his enemies.
There is no word yet on whether or not Mr. Sayoc was turned into a dangerous vegetable through constant radiation from Fox News, but he certainly bears an intellectual resemblance to people who immerse themselves in that milieu. The bomber wannabe has supposedly referred to himself as a white nationalist, and he has been a past attendee of at least one of Trump's hate rallies.
So much for the conservative-inspired delusions that these bomb mailings had been a "false flag" operation in which liberal groups sent the bombs in order to make conservatives look bad. This guy was a Trumper right down to his tear-away pants and dirty g-string. Now, of course, there will be convoluted efforts to still try and blame this terrorism on American liberals, but the audience for such nonsense grows exceedingly smaller.
I did hear that Fox News in its continuing struggle to be "fair and balanced" blurred images of Sayoc's van on its news casts yesterday so that its viewers didn't have to be bothered with what was written on the stickers in its windows. Fox, it would seem, remains committed to not giving its viewers too much factual information.
Donald Trump, of course, blames the high levels of anger in America on the press, and he loudly laments that the bomb stories took America's attention away from its real problem of the barefoot immigrants who are slowly marching north. Russia is not a problem, nor are China and North Korea - and Saudi Arabia is just an unfortunate blip on diplomatic radar. The real threat to the Untied States of America - in the mind of Donald John Trump - is a ragtag group of brown immigrants seeking sanctuary in the United States.
And intellectual giants like Cesar Sayoc, Jr, believe him.
