Downtown Nashville bombed

Post Reply New Topic

They were Warned!! !

Police visited the home of Nashville bomber Anthony Quinn Warner in 2019 after his girlfriend told authorities he was making bombs inside his recreational vehicle, according to a report. Documents obtained by The Tennessean newspaper of Nashville appeared to contradict a claim this week by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation that Warner was "not on our radar" prior to a massive Christmas morning explosion of an RV outside an AT&T building in the downtown area of the state’s capital city.

When authorities visited the girlfriend at her home – about a mile and a half away from Warner’s home – she handed over two unloaded guns that she claimed belonged to Warner, telling authorities she "did not want them in the house any longer," Metro Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron told the newspaper. She also told Nashville police that Warner was "building bombs in the RV trailer at his residence," according to police.

At the time, a lawyer who was representing both Warner and his girlfriend told officers that Warner "frequently talks about the military and bomb making," and "knows what he is doing and is capable of making a bomb," the police report says.

After visiting the girlfriend on that day in 2019, officers went to Warner’s home and knocked on the door but he didn’t appear to be at home. They also noticed that the RV parked outside had "several security cameras and wires attached" and appeared to have an alarm set up at the front door. Nashville police saw "no evidence of a crime" at the time and had no authority to enter the property, so they left and sent a report to their department’s hazardous devices unit and to the FBI, The Tennessean reported.

The FBI confirmed that account. "On August 22, 2019, the FBI received a request from the Metro Nashville Police Department to check our holdings on Anthony Warner and subsequently found no records at all," FBI Special Agent Jason Pack of the Knoxville Field Office wrote. "Additionally, the FBI facilitated a Department of Defense inquiry on Warner at the request of the Metro Nashville Police Department which was also negative.

Also later that month, police contacted the lawyer, Raymond Throckmorton III, to arrange a conversation with Warner, but the lawyer told them Warner "did not care for the police," and would not agree to any inspection of his RV.

Petula Clark shocked that ‘Downtown’ played before bombing

If he had to spin a record why did he pick one that contradicted his command to evacuate -with lyrics that invite you to hang out "down town"? If he had to ruin a good song at least he could have picked one that fit with his recorded message.

That's a good question, what is the logic system employed by the insane?

Prior to his death, the man who detonated a Christmas Day bomb in downtown Nashville had sent out materials about his views to people he knew, federal investigators said Saturday. In a statement to The Associated Press, FBI Special Agent Jason Pack said authorities are "aware the suspect sent materials which espoused his viewpoints to several acquaintances throughout the country." Warner died in the blast and officials have not released a motive.



Pack did not release additional details about what the packages from Warner contained but he urged anyone who may have received material from Warner to contact the FBI at 800-CALL-FBI.

It sounds like the authorities have the basis of a motive.

Conspiracy Theories

The Nashville bomber sent packages containing writings and videos promoting conspiracy theories to multiple people just days prior to the blast, CBS News confirms. Federal law enforcement confirmed the packages were postmarked December 23, just two days before the bombing, and did not have a return address. The packages contained at least nine typed pages of writings and two thumb drives loaded with videos. At least one of the packages contained a letter that began "Hey Dude, You will never believe what I found in the park." "The knowledge I have gained is immeasurable," the letter continues. "I now understand everything, and I mean everything from who/what we really are, to what the known universe really is."

The letter urged the recipient to watch the videos Warner included on the thumb drives. The letter was signed "Julio," a name Warner often used when signing emails, according to his friends. CBS affiliate WTVF-TV reports that a source said Warner also had a dog named Julio. Canine remains were found at the blast sight, and it is believed Warner may have had a dog with him when he killed himself.

Warner wrote about 9/11 and the moon landing, saying at one point, "The moon landing and 9-11 have so many anomalies they are hard to count." Warner also wrote that aliens have been attacking Earth since September 2011, and that the media is covering up the attacks.

Warner's writings also discuss the conspiracy theory that Earth is controlled by a race of reptilian lizard people.

"They put a switch into the human brain so they could walk among us and appear human," Warner wrote.

So what is the connection with the bombing site? Did Warner believe humans were begin controlled by reptilian lizard people from outer space through the 5G network. The aliens are among us but they are essentially invisible because they put a switch inside our brains that disable us from seeing what they really are. This sounds eerily familiar to a movie script of the film "They Live", one of John Carpenter's science-fiction action horror film.

And what did Warner find in the park. Perhaps he stumbled on a newspaper left on a park bench. Perhaps the 13 May 2010 edition of the New York Times that had an article titled "The Aliens Among Us" which said:

The denizens of the hidden “alien” biosphere — let’s call them Life 2.0 — might employ radically different biochemical processes than the life we know and love. Microbiologists could easily have overlooked their existence, because their methods are focused on the biochemistry of standard life.

If my theory turns out to be correct, it will have sweeping consequences. Should we find a second form of life right here on our doorstep, we could be confident that life is a truly cosmic phenomenon. If so, there may well be sentient beings somewhere in the galaxy wondering, as do we, if they are not alone in the universe.

Warner, who was known to dabble in conspiracy theories, wrote that “September 2011 was supposed to be the end game for the planet,” because that is when he believed that aliens and UFOs began launching attacks on earth that the media is covering up.

The ramblings also included writing about reptilians and lizard people that he believed control the earth and had tweaked human DNA. “They put a switch into the human brain so they could walk among us and appear human,” Warner wrote.

According to Wiki:

Reptilians (also called reptoids, lizard people, reptiloids, saurians, draconians) are supposed reptilian humanoids, which play a prominent role in fantasy, science fiction, ufology, and conspiracy theories. The idea of reptilians was popularised by David Icke, a conspiracy theorist who claims shape-shifting reptilian aliens control Earth by taking on human form and gaining political power to manipulate human societies. Icke has stated on multiple occasions that many world leaders are, or are possessed by, so-called reptilians.

I'm starting to wonder if Warner might have been schizophrenic, with all those crazy conspiracy theories he ranted about.

He doesn't come across as a classic schizophrenic. According to a work associate -

"I never imagine it would be him involved in any of this. When I saw his picture I was like 'oh my gosh' because you know we called him by Tony so I didn't think it was him at first," Michaels said. "He was all about his family. He always made sure if they needed anything fixed around the house or built he would help. He never had a bad attitude or anything."

Warner knew a lot about computers and technology (computer consultant). He had several information-technology jobs throughout the years and once owned an alarm company.
According to his current employer
In a statement, the president of the company, Steve Fridrich, said this: "The Tony Warner we knew was a nice person who never exhibited any behavior which was less than professional."

His criminal record is virtually non-existent apart from one case of possessing marijuana in 1978. Remember he was 63 years old so surely somebody would know.

Then very much radicalized.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong but this is the first case in the history of the world of somebody blowing themselves up because of a belief in aliens ?

I have been scouring information on Warner and there's no evidence of any type of suspect mental illness.

The belief in space aliens have been tied to other murders. According to Wikipedia:

Heaven's Gate is an American UFO religious cult based near San Diego, California. It was founded in 1974 and led by Marshall Applewhite (1931–1997) and Bonnie Nettles (1927–1985). On March 26, 1997, deputies of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department discovered the bodies of 39 members of the group, including that of Applewhite, in a house in the San Diego suburb of Rancho Santa Fe. They had participated in a mass suicide, a coordinated series of ritual suicides, in order to reach what they believed was an extraterrestrial spacecraft following Comet Hale–Bopp.

Ah yes Heaven's gate definitely qualify for mass suicide (they all drank poison). But I think they were a religious cult rather than one who believed in alien conspiracies of government cover ups and they didn't kill other people.

But yeah they certainly meet the nutter tag

Thanks Jimmy....

Yeah, blame the lizards. He was obviously a speciest.

I was going to cite the 1938 broadcast of H.G.Wells' "War of the Worlds", but a little research revealed that the alleged panic was greatly exaggerated.
