Introduction: Related topics on other nearby pages: Nashville bomber not driven by 'social or political' ideology, FBI says. Authorities said Monday [3/15/2021] there was no indication the Nashville RV bomber was motivated by social or political ideology when he blew himself up inside his recreational vehicle on Christmas Day. The FBI made the determination as it closed its investigation into Anthony Quinn Warner's suicide blast that injured six people in downtown Nashville. "The FBI's analysis did not reveal indications of a broader ideological motive to use violence to bring about social or political change, nor does it reveal indications of a specific personal grievance focused on individuals or entities in and around the location of the explosion," the report said. Although the blast injured six individuals, and caused significant property damage, officials confirmed Warner was the sole fatality, and bomber, a couple of days after the explosion, when forensic testing matched the remains at the scene with his DNA, as well as that of his relatives. The Editor says... Christopher Worrell. Ask Roger Stone. Ask Carter Page. [#2] The Nashville bomber was motivated by something, was he not? If he was trying to draw attention to wholesale domestic surveillance by means of 4G and 5G cell phone technology, that is both social and political ideology. So was the Nashville bombing a terror attack or not? As the investigation grinds on into the Christmas Day bombing in Nashville, a strange question has arisen among those whose homes and businesses were impacted by the blast. Was this or was this not a terrorist attack? It's more than a question of terminology for many business owners. If the FBI designates the bombing as an act of terrorism, even domestic terrorism, it could impact how insurance settlements are paid out. But thus far, the Bureau hasn't declared an official label because the motivations of Anthony Warner remain largely inscrutable. Nashville's Big Bomb Was a Very Rare Device, Experts Think. Anthony Quinn Warner's device, although probably made of common over-the-counter components, is unique in the annals of mayhem, according to seasoned FBI bomb experts consulted by SpyTalk. "We've never seen an improvised thermobaric device before in this country or any country," says Dave Williams, who conducted the FBI's on-scene investigations of the World Trade Center, Oklahoma City, Pan Am 103 and Unabomber bombings, among other notorious incidents. Thermobaric refers to a gaseousfuel-air explosion. "The reason is, it's very difficult to get the timing down to get an optimum mixture of air and a liquified carbonaceous fuel such as propane, methane, acetylene or natural gas," Williams told SpyTalk. "He couldn't have done it the first time and made it work. There had to be a test area." Lucky? He's dead! Nashville Bombing Spotlights Vulnerable Voice, Data Networks. The blast seriously damaged a key AT&T network facility, an important hub that provides local wireless, internet and video service and connects to regional networks. Backup generators went down, which took service out hours after the blast. A fire broke out and forced an evacuation. The building flooded, with more than three feet of water later pumped out of the basement; AT&T said there was still water on the second floor as of Monday [12/28/2020]. The immediate repercussions were surprisingly widespread. AT&T customers lost service — phones, internet or video — across large parts of Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama. There were 911 centers in the region that couldn't take calls; others didn't receive crucial data associated with callers, such as their locations. The Nashville police department's phones and internet failed. Stores went cash-only. At some hospitals, electronic medical records, internet service or phones stopped working. The Nashville airport halted flights for about three hours on Christmas. Rival carrier T-Mobile also had service issues as far away as Atlanta, 250 miles away, because the company uses AT&T equipment for moving customer data from towers to the T-Mobile network. Nashville Bomber's Girlfriend Warned Police He Was Making Bombs Last Year. Despite the F.B.I.'s claims to the contrary, law enforcement was warned about Anthony Q. Warner's disturbing activities more than a year before he set off a bomb in downtown Nashville. The new information might shed light on the alleged bomber's motive. The Tennessean reported that "sixteen months before Anthony Quinn Warner's RV exploded in downtown Nashville on Christmas morning, officers visited his home in Antioch after his girlfriend reported that he was making bombs in the vehicle." Is the FBI Already Engaged in a Coverup in the Nashville Bombing? [Scroll down] There is nothing delusional or irrational at all in thinking 5G, 4G, or any G before or since, including the earliest iterations of cellular, is being used to spy on Americans. It's a fact. It is and has been. Indeed, it has been known since the publication of James Bamford's book "The Puzzle Palace" that the National Security Agency and others have the capability to spy on virtually every citizen of this country — and that was close to 40 years ago (1983)! And it's only gotten worse since. I'm sorry to say it, but anyone who thinks he or she has any privacy is a fool. Even the current president was spied upon. Edward Snowden, as I indicated in my previous column, made it clear just how deeply implicated AT&T is in this activity. In fact, that company may well be the government's principal private industry ally in clandestine work, helping to connect it with other cellular companies. If I know that, why wouldn't Warner, an IT professional, know that? [...] I believe they are once again covering up here, creating a distraction from the actual motive, because the one thing they don't want to be investigated — well, one among many — is the alliance between private industry and our intelligence agencies, coupled with the realization we all live now in an Orwellian surveillance culture, not dissimilar to that in China. Girlfriend of Nashville bomber Anthony Warner told cops he was making bombs last year. Nashville police were warned in 2019 that Anthony Warner was making a bomb inside his RV — but nothing was done to stop him. Warner's girlfriend told Nashville cops on Aug. 21, 2019, that he "was building bombs in the RV trailer at his residence," according to a report Tuesday [12/29/2020] in The Tennessean. City cops passed the tip off to the FBI and ATF. But when authorities showed up at Warren's door no one answered, and a subsequent request to search the property was denied, The Tennessean reported. Warner's bomb-making then continued unhindered until Christmas morning, when he detonated explosives in the vehicle and leveled a stretch of downtown Nashville. Nashville Bomber Anthony Warner 'Perished' at Scene, DNA Found at Explosion Site: Officials. Anthony Quinn Warner, the person of interest in the Nashville Christmas Day bombing, died at the scene, and his DNA was found at the site of the explosion, according to a U.S. attorney and an FBI official. U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee Don Cochran said on Sunday in a press conference that Warner, 63, parked a vehicle on a street in downtown Nashville on Dec. 25, then allegedly broadcast a warning before the explosion. Cochran stated that Warner "is the bomber," and "he was present when the bomb went off," adding that he "perished in the bombing." Douglas Korneski, the FBI's special agent in charge of the Memphis Field Office, added that there is no indication that anyone else was involved in the explosion. Hours of surveillance footage was reviewed by officials, which was used in making the determination that Warner was the lone individual involved, he said. Yes, Anthony Warner Was The Nashville Bomber, But His Motive? All of the leads released by authorities since the Christmas Day bombing in Nashville had been pointing to Anthony Warner as the prime suspect and now the FBI has put the matter to rest. DNA testing has reportedly confirmed that Warner was in the truck and died in the blast. The case is far from closed, however, because agents are still beating the bushes to attempt to figure out a motive. The press is aiding in that effort and from what's been determined thus far, we might be able to draw at least a few conclusions. As to Warner himself, we're beginning to learn that he was considered by people who knew him to be "a bit of an odd duck," but he had no criminal history to speak of besides a minor drug charge back in the 70s. FBI probing if 5G paranoia was behind Nashville Christmas bombing. FBI agents working the Nashville Christmas bombing are asking around about whether Anthony Quinn Warner — a local computer expert named as a "person of interest" — was paranoid about 5G technology, according to a report. Agents are probing if Warner, 63, feared that 5G technology was being used to spy on Americans, a source close to the investigation told the NBC News affiliate in Nashville. There have otherwise been no arrests or motive revealed in the bombing as of early Sunday. Anthony Quinn Warner confirmed by DNA test as Nashville Christmas bomber. Human remains found at the site of the Christmas RV bombing in Nashville belong to Anthony Quinn Warner, the tech expert behind blast, officials announced Sunday [12/27/2020]. "Anthony Warner is the bomber," said US Attorney Don Cochran during a press briefing. "He was present when the bomb went off, and then he perished in the bombing." Warner, 63, is the only known fatality in the bombing, which also left three people injured and caused significant property damage, including to an AT&T building, knocking out cell service across the state and much of the south. Forensic testing was used to match the remains found at the scene with Warner's DNA, as well as that of relatives, officials said. Was Nashville Blast the New Fort Sumter? [Scroll down] Given how divided our country is, what happened in Nashville this Christmas morning may have been the first salvo in a second civil war. Just for the record, Fort Sumter is only eight hours' drive away. Of course, there is always the possibility that one side is impersonating the other in this action — that it is a false-flag operation. But if so, it's even more a license for civil war. Whose statues will be torn down this time? The Nashville Christmas Bombing is incredibly unusual for a few reasons. [Thread reader] The facts we think we know so far — and things may change as new information emerges — paint a picture that is different than any other attack on U.S. soil. It raises some serious questions. First, let's talk about what makes this attack different. This was a successful bombing on U.S. soil in a large metro area. There have not been many of these in the last 40 years: Oklahoma City, Atlanta Olympics, Boston Marathon, Times Square. Of this list, the Nashville attack is much more like OKC than the rest. There, a moving truck. Here, an RV. The other, smaller attacks involved pressure cooker devices and devices more like pipe bombs. [...] Police confirmed that the RV itself appeared to be broadcasting a loud message over speakers warning people nearby to evacuate because there was a bomb. There was even a countdown. Part of the warning message was: "If you can hear this message, evacuate now." And it worked. There were, incredibly, no known deaths. Folks living nearby left their apartments, police swept the streets, and no one died. It is difficult to overstate how unusual it is for an attack like this to include a warning. That stuff happens in movies. It doesn't generally happen in real life. But it tells us that the attacker(s) didn't want to cause casualties. This is a critical data point. Nashville Bombing. It's early yet and we've no idea who bombed Nashville or why. I hope that, unlike the 58 murders by Stephen Paddock in Las Vegas, the FBI will have some answers about motivation this time. [...] Alex Little, a former federal prosecutor, has provided a thoughtful analysis. In a series of posts, he explains the various possible motives and perpetrators of the bombing. He finds the timing and location of the bombing suggest most strongly the bomber had some political/terror motivations. Doing this on Christmas morning was sure to garner a great deal of coverage and the location — a major artery of AT&T's communication network — means it was a "massive infrastructure attack"; it "took down phone and internet communications for millions." In his words, "we have an attacker who has detonated a large bomb, who took steps to avoid casualties, who chose a location notable only for its impact on our communications network and who has [not] (at least not yet) claimed responsibility." FBI Exploring New Theory About Nashville Bomber and 'Person of Interest' Gave Away Home Last Month. As we previously reported, yesterday, police and federal authorities searched a home connected to Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, who media has described as a "person of interest" in the Nashville Christmas Day bombing.

The officers, Brenna Hosey, James Luellen, Michael Sipos, Amanda Topping and James Wells, and Sgt. Timothy Miller, sped to 2nd Avenue and discovered an RV spewing loudspeaker messages warning that it was going to blow up. 'Person of Interest' in Nashville Bombing Identified, Police Now Searching Home Related to Him. Information appears to be breaking quickly in the case of the Nashville bombing. As I wrote earlier, the police had identified a "person or persons of interest." Now, CBS is reporting the name of that person as 63 year old Anthony Quinn Warner and police appear to be at a property related to him now. Police have not yet officially confirmed that name and it's important to note that a person of interest is not necessarily the same thing as a suspect.

Some Interesting Questions Raised About the Viral Video of the Nashville Bombing. Ford Fischer who has done a lot of coverage of Antifa and Black Lives Matter may have come across something interesting when it comes to the bombing in Nashville this morning. One of the most unusual things about the Nashville bombing was that there were reportedly gun shots before hand and then a recording in the RV which warned people to evacuate out of the area before the RV blew up. But then on top of that, Fischer noticed something else odd. Many in media have been sharing a viral video of the explosion area, taken from across the street, with a warning to evacuate and then the explosion. Fischer noticed some interesting things about the account that posted the video. Nashville: A bomb blast unlike any other on American soil. The facts about the Christmas morning bomb in Nashville are not complicated. What is complicated is understanding who set off the bomb and why. That's because this bombing does not match any other bombs that have exploded in the Western world. [...] Even if a person other than the bomber ended up dying, this bomb blast was not meant to take human life. The street would have been relatively deserted on Christmas morning and the RV itself warned people to leave the area. I therefore doubt that this was Islamic terrorism because I cannot think of a single act of Muslim terrorism that did not have as its primary goal killing as many people as possible. Unlike the Oklahoma City bombing, this bomb did not target a government building. Despite the usual Trump haters conflating Trump supporters and Nazis, this fact alone probably means that one of the vanishingly small numbers of actual white supremacist groups in America was not involved because those groups tend to be hostile to the government.
