The investigation by the US federal police into the explosion in Nashville, Tennessee, is progressing rapidly: 250 FBI agents are assigned to the case. Investigators are currently working on the hypothesis that the blast was acting alone and that he perished in the attack.
Several media have identified Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, as the main suspect. The FBI raided his home in suburban Nashville. He owns an RV like the one that contained the explosives. The US federal police took a DNA sample from Warner’s mother to compare it to that taken from human remains found in the wreckage of the vehicle.
La radio WSMV de Nashville reports that the FBI is investigating whether Warner was the victim of the 5G paranoid, which wants Americans to be spied on by the technology. This could explain why the RV exploded outside an AT&T company communications center. The explosion severely damaged its power plant and necessitated the shutdown of wireless telephone service in several cities and states.
Another strange behavior from Warner. According to the Daily Mail, Wagner recently gave her home searched by the FBI and another home, worth a total of $ 409,000, to Michelle Swing, a 29-year-old woman living in Los Angeles. Contacted by the Daily Mail, she said it was unbeknownst to her. When the reporter asked her if she knew Warner, she replied that at the FBI’s request, she couldn’t say anything about it.
It therefore seems, for the moment, that it is about an unbalanced individual acting alone who has taken action. Not an internal terrorist attack as the first information let fear.
Violent domestic extremism is a greater threat than that of the jihadists. Since 1990, there have been more deadly attacks in the United States by far-right armed groups than by Islamist terrorists.
The Nashville explosion recalls that of Oklahoma City. In 1995, a far-right jerk named Timothy McVeigh blew up a car full of explosives in front of a federal building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people and injuring more than 680 others. Among the victims, 19 of the dead were children, including 15 under the age of 6, who were in the building’s daycare. It is the deadliest act of terrorism in US history, prior to the attacks of September 11, 2001, and it remains the deadliest act of domestic terrorism.
In Nashville, officials from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI initially thought they were dealing with an attack by a group wanting to spread terror with as few victims as possible. An act of retaliation from extremists disappointed with the results of the presidential election wishing to give an arm of honor to the elites of the “Deep State” and to the Democrats.
Ultra-right plots of this sort have been foiled in recent months, including the one to kidnap and assassinate Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer, with the aim of provoking a civil war.
Not surprisingly, social media was immediately littered with conspiracy theories about Nashville, complimenting the perpetrator of the bombing for the method used to minimize casualties. We are targeting the elites, not the people.
Among the deranged of the extreme right, mimicry is to be feared.
“Armed and ready, Mr. President”. Pro-Trump groups have appealed to their supporters to bring weapons and prepare for violence for the January 6 “Stop the Steal” protest in Washington, on the occasion of the confirmation by Congress of Joe Biden’s victory. The Proud Boys, other armed militiamen and white supremacists, all pledged to attend.
In a tweet, Trump urged his followers to participate in a “big” “wild” demonstration (wild) in Washington to remedy its “impossible” defeat.
