Nashville Christmas Day Bombing

Bob_LukenBob_Luken Posts: 10,833 ✭✭✭✭✭

I'm back! I was looking forward to vHerfing in the evenings on Christmas day and the following days but no such luck. I was without cell phone or internet service for two and a half days. I eventually got both services back yesterday evening.

The bombing damaged the AT&T communications building, which may have been the intended target of the bomber. I have cell phone and internet both through AT&T. (No land line.) I still had phone service and internet for a few hours following the 6:30AM bombing, but I'm assuming they (AT&T) had to shut everything down at that location later that morning. Mid day Friday, Christmas day, I noticed I had neither phone nor internet service. I still had satellite TV so we tuned in to watch news of the explosion.

There were many days-long outages throughout the region across multiple states. Many 911 dispatch call centers were disabled, including my county. Many stores could not function well enough to open back up after Christmas day. My family, and many other families couldn't Zoom with their families on Christmas day as they had planned and couldn't even call by cell or communicate by internet for days if they happen to have AT&T for both services. Makes me wonder if I should consider a landline or ham radio or both.

    Ham Radios never go out of style.

    The nut-job parked right in front of the building my father-in-law owned for about 50 years. When I saw the first photos I was like: "Whoa! I know exactly where that is!"
    The official reports we're hearing indicate lone actor, flashy suicide etc., because of DNA from tissue found in the wreckage.

    I have to wonder, though, because that's how my brain works, was it suicide? Or did someone hijack this guy, shoot him, and then blow him up with his RV? Usually this kind of whackadoo leaves a manifesto of some sort.

    I’ve got no proof or evidence of any kind, but I wonder if he’s a 5g conspiracy person, or some other anti big tech type given his computer career? And maybe there’s a handwritten manifesto in police custody or something like that, since a 5g conspiracy theorist wouldn’t just post that online.

    The "truth" I read was that this was the building that housed the supercomputer that ran and kept the data from the Dominion voting machines and they had to destroy it before it could be used as evidence that would prove the voter fraud.

    Amazing how creative the mind can be when it is coming up with theories to conspire on.

    Peter you have a very agreeable post. By pressing the agree button, we can either agree that peoples imaginations run wild or we can agree to the conspiracy theory, or both. My next post will reveal how I really feel. Unless I'm creating a diversion. Maybe I'm involved in on some conspiracy to conspire with conspiracy theorists.

    You have to use your sense of smell. You can't trust your eyes. Everybody knows what a dead rat smells like. And this smells exactly like a "Deep State" attack on computer equipment housed in the AT&T building. The attack was designed to interrupt an investigation into Dominion voting machine irregularities. The bomber was either an unwilling or willing pawn/participant. A guy with little or no social life, and no social media footprint. The perfect mystery man. We are already being told,... "We may never know why he did this". But you can smell it, can't you? The "Deep State" is reasserting it's own control yet again and does not want any more election problems. They don't care who's president, as long as they get to choose, but Imagine the rancor and discord (that they would not be able to control,) if it were definitively proven that the election outcome was the result of fraud. Also the "Deep State" is currently working to rig the Georgia run-off elections in favor of the republicans because they do not want "supermajority" power in the hands of either party in our legislative branches. That would mean less power for them. Less control. Y'all smell it don't ya'? You gotta use your nose. It's not visible. But it's obvious.

    Oh good, it's not just me.

    Bingo!

    they do not want "supermajority" power in the hands of either party in our legislative branches. That would mean less power for them. Less control.

    Amen.

    My favorite sci-fi author when I was young was Robert A. Heinlein. It's amazing how much he got right. I guess he also instilled in me a life-long suspicion and distrust of those "in charge".

    Pretty much sums this up.

    I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...

    I tend to agree with you Bob. And the FBI has already wrapped up their investigation of a major bombing. Three days, really? Seems a bit too easy.

    I guess they screwed the super majority part up. Or was making it a tie with the VPs vote to break it planned?
    Of course now the world hates Trump and Republicans have no standing after yesterday. But again, was it planned that way?

    the great thing about conspiracy theories is you don't have to prove them.

    Makes you wonder though, since the building with all the electronics was not on fire, why'd they order the Fire Department to flood the bottom 6 floors?
