    I think the motivation of AQW might be kind of simple to understand. He was 63, same age as me, same generational cohort and many of the same experiences of life. But he had no family, basically a lost soul, probably dying of loneliness inside. Yet he wanted to make a mark on his way out, instead of just being another solitary suicide. I’m pretty certain his target was the ATT building, often associated with the NSA and the deep state controlling elites. For millions of “Infowars” types, this ATT/NSA/5G nexus represents Big Brother. AQW was striking at Big Brother to leave a message on his lonely passing from this world.

    I find it fascinating that no official or unofficial sources have explained the type of explosive used. For sure, the ATF and FBI bomb experts knew the exact composition within an hour of the blast, based on chemical samples, crater analysis and other forensics. If the method used was extremely simple to duplicate, even by amateurs, the powers that be would NOT want this information released. That was why I had previously mentioned the almost unknown 100 gallon rolling trash bin gas bomb method that was used in Miami in the 1980s against travel agencies that were setting up tours to Cuba via the Bahamas and Mexico. I saw one printed newspaper article that quoted a police source explaining the trash bin, camping gas bottle, and plumber’s candle method. It’s bulky, but the explosive power would be measured in sticks of dynamite. Scaling this up from ten cubic feet of gas in a trash bin, to a thousand in an RV, led me to wonder.

    But if AQW was in the RV when he detonated his bomb, it’s more likely that it was ANFO. Still, I find it interesting that nobody is naming the explosive that was used.

    Another motive of AQW might have been to give the idea of striking at “Big Brother” in this way to other persons. Like Las Vegas, Nashville shows what a solitary motivated “lone wolf” is capable of doing.

      Very well may be correct (as usual). It was the same with James Hodgkinson, and the Vegas Patsy.

        Why does the US arm and train forces, supply them with all kind of sweet weapon systems all Full Auto, but you gotta pay 23k for a FA m16 from Vietnam ERA and wait for a tax stamp. wtf

          Because…I think General Smedley Butler put it best.

          “All war is a racket”.

          And so is the ATF.

    KILLER COCKTAIL ‘Lone wolf’ Nashville bomb suspect Anthony Warner ‘used his credit card to buy explosive chemicals,’ FBI told

    THE FBI has been told Nashville bomber Anthony Warner used his own credit card to buy “chemical precursors” to make an explosive device, The Sun can reveal.

    And at least one test at the site where he detonated his RV packed with explosives on Christmas Day has shown he most likely used nitroglycerin to create the massive blast.

    A source close to the investigation said Warner had bought “chemical precursors and security alarms” using a credit card in his name.

    The Sun was told: “The FBI has received information from a bank holding company on an active credit card for Warner.

    “Preliminary searches indicates the purchases of chemical precursors to make explosives and security alarms.”

    The source added: “Initial results also show nitroglycerin was found on a residue swab taken from a tree trunk at the blast site.”

    Detectives are hoping the hard drive will contain a manifesto or at least some clues as to why Warner carried out the attack.

    There has been speculation the 63 year old was paranoid about the new 5G phone system spying on Americans which is why he parked his explosives-packed RV outside Nashville’s AT&T building.

    Investigators have also been combing through several weeks of CCTV footage from downtown Nashville in the hope of seeing Warner visiting the area.

    Police have now formally identified Warner as the bomber following DNA tests.

    All videos show the blast occured across the street from the “RV”. Photos released by the FBI show a different RV than the one they claim was the “bomb”. So if they tracked this guy as the owner of the RV, but a differnt one supposedly exploded, it’s obvious this guy is a patsy. Grassy knoll 2.0.
