And why? So far, a lot more questions than answers. But somebody sure went to a lot of trouble and expense just to blow up an RV at a time and place where there's no one around. And if he can do it once, he can do it again.

Stay vigilant, folks. If something you see just looks wrong, assume that it is. Because that's the world we live in.

Trump had the Russians do it.

Yes... very clearly wrong. I assume this is a new operator, not jihadis as they would have maximized the casualties not minimized. I would not be surprised to see this is a false flag. The left does it, frames the right... and uses this as yet another reason why Trump is dangerous... then launch a whole wave of liberal policies to control us.

Faux News is now reporting that human remains have been found "in the vicinity" of the explosion.

Nothing about this is making any sense to me. A really elaborate suicide? I wouldn't think so, but I suppose if someone wanted to go out with a bang, that would do it. And it makes as much sense as anything else I can think of.

My first thought was that is was a diversion for another crime somewhere else. That doesn't appear to be the case, but I suppose it still could be.

An elaborate insurance scam? I don't think so. Someone with a beef against AT&T? That would make half the country suspects.

It's funny no one has claimed responsibility for it yet. It's possible someone has, and the authorities just aren't releasing that information yet. But nothing about this makes any sense to me.

First there was a shoot out. When police arrived all they found was the rv. It had a PA system playing a tape recorded message saying that a bomb was going to go off.

Sounds like they were trying to take out a bunch of first responders.

The Nashville explosion may have been an attempt to take down NSA comms. Downdetector.com showed 18 company outages AT&T, T-Mobile, US Cellular, Consumer Cellular and many others were all down at the same time. Similar as to what we saw a couple of weeks ago with 28 offline or having problems?

The FBI says they're looking for "an individual" in connection with the bombing. I'm taking that with a huge grain of salt.

For one thing, though I don't know what the explosive was yet, I just don't think one person could put together a bomb like that. It took McVeigh and Nichols eight months to put together the Oklahoma City bomb, and I just don't see how one person could do it. It's possible that one of the bomb builders is the "human remains" they found, but even so, it's probably more likely that three or more people built it.

There is a history for this, maybe the most famous being the Hillside Strangler case. The authorities knew after the first body was found that two killers were involved, but kept that quiet.

I would not be surprised to find that this goes down the memory hole....Just like the Las Vegas shooting.

But I would neither be surprised to find that the bombing was done by an FBI agent, a deep-cover operative attempting to score credibility

Far too much of what we do know/have been told simply doesn’t add up.

FBI investigates if ‘5G paranoia’ was behind mysterious Nashville Christmas RV explosion – reports

By RT Sunday, December 27, 2020

Federal agents were tipped off that a person who had rigged an RV with explosives in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, may have been driven by fears surrounding 5G technology, a report claims.

Nashville realtor Steve Fridrich told local WSMV TV channel that the FBI had interviewed him about whether a man investigated in connection to Friday’s bombing had “paranoia about 5G technology.”

Fridrich contacted the FBI because a man with the same name had done IT work for him for several years, he said.

Local media reported earlier that FBI and ATF agents were searching the homes belonging to a man named Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, in Antioch, Tennessee. Neighbors told reporters they had seen an RV parked in the driveway of Warner’s home for several weeks. The vehicle reportedly looked like the one which detonated in downtown Nashville on the early morning of December 25.

An FBI spokesperson said the Bureau could not comment on the issue because of the pending investigation. However, a source confirmed to WSMV that, among other tips and angles, agents were checking if Warner experienced paranoia that 5G was being used to “spy on Americans.”

Fridrich was quoted as saying that Warner had never spoken about 5G to him. He described Warner as a “techie guy” who“didn’t bother anybody.”

Before the explosion, a warning was heard from the RV, in which an automated female voice repeatedly urged everyone to“evacuate.” Three bystanders were injured in the blast. Police said they found human remains on site. According to CNN, this had led the FBI to believe that the explosion was a suicide bombing.

The blast damaged a building owned by telecoms giant AT&T, which is located not far from the company’s office tower. Police spokesperson Don Aaron said on Saturday that police did not know “if that was a coincidence, or if that was the intention” of the perpetrator.

I figured it had to be something about AT&T, since the bomb was parked right in front of the building. And Edward Snowden said that AT&T had cooperated extensively with the NSA in spying on Americans, so that would certainly be a motive. Fears over 5G? I don't know.

It's still hard for me to believe that one person could put together this bomb.

I don't know if there's enough remains left to figure out a cause of death of the guy. I'd like to know if he shot himself, or if he was shot by someone else, or if the gunshots were just to get everyone's attention before the explosion.

What was the bomb made of? Where did the chemicals and materials come from? Where did he learn how to make that bomb? There's still a ton of unanswered questions.

Bomb was powerful enough that it blew debris OVER the 15 story AT&T building that was the target.

It ruined my Christmas. Was called at 0700 recalling me to temporary active duty. Today is the first day since around 1200 Christmas Day I have had access to the internet. The blast or 'something' took the internet down then. Also took down phone service and TV here until today.

Only sure way to communicate around the middle of Tennessee was either sat phone or ham radio or military radio on a need to be on basis.

A good reminder of the importance of ham radio. Our day-to-day communications are very vulnerable to selective strikes such as this.

Warner gave two houses to a young woman, Michelle Swing, before the explosion. It's unclear how Swing knew Warner, or what their relationship was.

Lots of photos and a video at the link.

Authorities are saying Anthony Quinn Warner "appears" to have acted alone. I wouldn't think it was possible for one man to build that bomb, but I suppose it's possible.

And the circumstancial evidence, particularly the fact he gave away his houses, does point to an intentional suicide. Most suicides are pretty impulsive, but their are exceptions, like the Japanese kamikazis in WWII. Ind I've been reminded that, a couple weeks before the bombing, Timothy McVeigh was considering going up with his bomb in Oklahoma City, so it's certainly possible.

They are FINALLY admitting that his girlfriend told the cops about him building a bomb in his camper a year ago. FBI is NOT blameless also as Nashville PD told them about him also.

Needless to say, they all passed the buck until it came back to ram them in the ass!

What kind of explosives were used?

What was his motive?

I've heard - through unofficial sources of my own, which may or may not be accurate - that it was a "fuel-based" explosive. That could mean a few things, but it was most likely another fertilizer bomb like Nichols and McVeigh used in Oklahoma City. I still think it's unlikely one mand could build a bomb like that alone, but I suppose if he was working on it for a year and a half, it's possible.

He must have had some sort of beef with AT&T. After all, everyone else does. But I think his main motive was to go out with a bang. Clearly, he did.

Matt Bracken, who should know about such things, has been saying all along that it was a fuel/air explosive.
