Well, at least the high school yearbook photo that was dredged up and what I assume is a driver's license photo seem to be the same person.

Was that alleged one of him with curly hair posted to this thread somewhere? I'd like to run that one as well. Not sure if someone posted it here or not.

His High School picture depicts a wannabe druggie which he has a criminal record for shortly after High School. His DL is no different. Easily manipulated material by the commiecrats. One of the reasons they want that southern border open. Stoners are easy to handle.

It is worth noting he only gave a quit claim deed. That means he gave away any interest he may have but does not mean he had any interest in said properties. Probably becuase he deeded one of the properties to himself while under power of attorney. Power of attorney does not give you the right to enrich yourself over that which you have power over. That is why it was contested. A simple DNA would solve a lot of questions about the 29 year old female in LA. I think she has more information about him then we have been told but that is not hard to do since only a narrative is being formed, not fact.

that part, we are not sure on yet. it seems it might be the case, but there is no proof of this. the names don't match. it could be she is the same person, but we just don't know for sure.

Oh hell's bells....here we go LOL! It's clear as muddy water. LOL

From one of the articles posted, it said bomber's mother Chris was alive.

That first property deed bomber gave to Michelle Swing she conveyed the property to a Betty C. Lane. This was back in early 2019.


This property conveyed to Michelle Swing had been the bomber's parents property of Charles and Betty Warner.

So......it is very possible......that Betty C. Warner and Betty C. Lane are the same person.....the bomber's MOM.

That's my guess..........LOL!!! Now how Michelle Swing is related or got involved who knows??? LOL! Time may tell!

So.....Michelle Swing may have conveyed the first property back to bomber's MOTHER.



Their mother, Betty Christine Lane, who divorced father Charles B. 'Popeye' Warner years before his 2011 death, argued that the former family home, which had passed from Charles to Steven, should then legally belong to her - but Anthony Warner seized it using power of attorney.

You may or may not care about this, but it’s interesting. I teach English to kids in China everyday (with a company called VIPKID.) I actually talk to parents on Wechat, as I have become friends with a couple parents. One of the parents just contacted me and told me all that she has read about the bombing on the internet. The news in Shanghai is that the guy was afraid of 5G.

CowGirl,

I don't think that 5G is enough to be the reason for this event. But it is interesting that your friends in China are getting that information. 5G is a major technology for the Chinese and they tightly control information in China. The fact that regular Chinese are getting reports that 5G was enough to cause someone to blow up a bomb is very interesting and provides a window into what is happening there.

This event isn't only about what we know, or think we know, how folks in other countries are perceiving are also important.

Thank you for your insight...

Nashville bomber Anthony Quinn Warner reportedly thought he’d be ‘hailed a hero’

December 28, 2020

Nashville RV bomber Anthony Quinn Warner was “heavily into conspiracy theories” about 5G networks — and thought he’d be “hailed a hero” for targeting a huge AT&T network, according to a report.

The 63-year-old loner — who died in his massive Christmas Day suicide blast — may have turned against the telecommunications industry after the 2011 death of his father, who worked for a company that later merged with AT&T, a source close to the investigation told the Daily Mail.

He was believed to be “heavily into conspiracy theories,” especially over fears that 5G networks were killing people, the source said.

“The unofficial motive thus far is the suspect believed 5G was the root of all deaths in the region and he’d be hailed a hero,” the source told the outlet.

“We are waiting on the digital footprint that should finally provide us with some answers,” the source explained following a raid of Warner’s home in Antioch, a suburb of Nashville.

His father, Charles B. Warner, spent his career working for BellSouth, which was acquired by AT&T in 2006, the report noted. The dad — who was nicknamed Popeye — died in July 2011 of dementia, at age 78, the outlet said.

The bomber may also have been dying before his attack, having told an ex-girlfriend that he had cancer, according to the New York Times.

He gave that ex a car and also signed away the deeds to at least two homes — one just before Thanksgiving — before his devastating attack.

As well as razing businesses in the historic downtown area, the 6:30 a.m. blast caused a massive disruption to communications systems that even blacked out 911 centers in several surrounding counties.

Nashville Mayor John Cooper said Sunday the bombing appeared to be an “infrastructure attack” targeting the AT&T building.

“To all of us locally, it feels like there has to be some connection with the AT&T facility and the site of the bombing,” Cooper told CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”

“It’s got to have something to do with the infrastructure,” he said.

Experts also warn that the attack showed clear vulnerabilities in America’s telecommunications industry.

“I think this is a wake-up call and a warning for all of us about how vulnerable our infrastructure is, how relatively easy it is for a single individual to do this,” Frank Figliuzzi, former assistant director of counterintelligence at the FBI, told “Face The Nation.”

I think she has more information about him then we have been told but that is not hard to do since only a narrative is being formed, not fact.

There are other deeds on the county site that show the complete deed history of both properties.

I suspect that the 29 year old in LA is his daughter from a previous relationship. It's also possible that the 29 year olds mother never told him about her because she knew he was unstable. At some point, they might have both done DNA tests on one of those online ancestry sites and got linked up. Maybe he was trying to form a relationship with her and from her statements that they never met in person, it's possible that they didn't even know about each other until she lived in Cali. He thinks by gifting her his parent's old house she might move back to TN if she had a home free and clear. Once she found out the power of attorney story she did the right thing and gifted it back to the mom.

This probably wouldn't have helped an already unstable person. If the angle about him also having cancer was true, maybe it was just the last straw for him.

The anti-5g angle is one any reasonable investigator should look into.

These kinds of attacks on cell towers have been happening all over the UK and apparently also in TN.


At least five cell phone towers in the Memphis area and another three operated by the state of Tennessee for emergency communications have been vandalized since December.

With no suspects identified or apprehended, state and local officials have their suspicions.

The vandalism, they believe, may be linked to COVID-19 conspiracy theories that 5G cellular technology is responsible for spreading through radio waves the pathogens that cause the virus — or (in a variation of the theory) that the towers’ transmissions suppress individuals’ immune systems, making them more susceptible to the virus.

“It is suspected that 5G conspiracy theories may have played a role because of similar activity in other states,” said Wes Mosley, a spokesman for the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security.

The conspiracy theory has taken root mostly outside the United States, prompting scores of torchings of cell phone towers in England and New Zealand. Outside Tennessee, however, there are few public reports of cell phone tower vandalism as a result of COVID-19 misinformation.

During a routine budget presentation to Gov. Bill Lee last week, Safety and Homeland Security Director Gregory Mays cited damages from the cell phone tower vandalism for running up the department’s expected maintenance budget for the next fiscal year to about $1.3 million.

The Tennessee Advanced Communications Network serviced by the department’s cell phone towers — which provides communication services for 68,000 public safety dispatch centers — is not covered under a warrantee, Mays said.

Repairing cell phone tower damages that those emergency centers rely on will require more taxpayer-funded dollars.

“There are some people who believe the 5G network is some way connected to the coronavirus pandemic and they have caused destruction to some of the tower sites of 5G,” Mays told the governor.

“We’ve had several in the Memphis area and some of our others,” he said. “We’ve had three Tennessee patrol towers that have been damaged due to that. So the maintenance will help us cover any of that damage or anything we have from that.”

An ABC News investigation, published in May, detailed several attacks on cell phone towers around the country as a result of the COVID-19 conspiracy theory. The investigation said 14 cell towers in western Tennessee, between February and April, were “purposely turned off by way of disabling their electrical breakers.”

It’s unknown whether these 14 towers are part of the Tennessee’s Department of Safety and Homeland Security’s Tennessee Advanced Communications Network, which provides emergency communications. A spokesman asked to clarify details on the number of state-owned cell phone towers damaged by vandalism did not provide a response by Thursday evening.

Wes Moster, the department spokesman, said in a statement that “the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security received damage to the Tennessee Advanced Communications Network (TACN) towers earlier this year.

“However, the damage our department received isn’t exactly the same pattern of damage seen in Memphis. Right now, it isn’t clear if the damage to the cell phone towers in Memphis and the department’s towers are related. It is still under investigation. No arrests have been made.”

Memphis police have reported arson at five privately owned cell phone towers, as far back as December and through May.

In the earliest reports of vandalism — before COVID-19’s existence was widely known in the United States — it’s unknown why law enforcement officials are connecting the crimes to COVID-19 conspiracy theories.

Who is going to enforce it? My guess is the military with a couple of F16’s. I will also make a guess that the area is being monitored by an AWAC 24/7. Just guesses.

Most likely ATC is monitoring the airspace and not directing anyone there for now and they have a hotline to NORAD at all ATC facilites for airspace violations. I suspect it was placed mostly to discourage drones and news choppers from overflying the area. It may just be an automatic SOP for things like this since 9/11.

Here are a few stills of the RV in front of the AT&T building.

Fortunately for the officer, he walked to his car before it went off so no footage of the explosion.

Edited to add: there is audio, just not working on this computer.

Cell site vandalism...scrappers.

We had one a coupla weeks ago where they tied off to the copper from the last pole and snatched it out of the ground, with a truck I'm guessing.

Ripped the transformer off the pole.

Yes, stealing copper has been going on for ages. I've seen several other articles that mention fires being set, which indicates that there is more going on than simple copper theft.

I found it eerily calm on all levels.
The bearded man telling the cops he saw a fire ball above a building gave me pause.

Anybody else wondering what all of that glitter is on the street?

Some kind of fine shiny metallic powder. Aluminum used in the explosive mix?

Herostrattus burned down the Temple of Athena, one of the seven great ancient wonders of the world.

When asked why he did it, he said that he wished to be immortal. And he was right. We still know his name.

We might just have a Herstrattus here.
They saw the jet?
They were on a highway, plane practically flew over their hood, did not see it crash but did see column of smoke etc. where they knew the Pent was.

It’s been interesting to hear their thoughts about Trump over time. At first they thought he was a great business man. The propaganda machine is always hard at work. My Chinese friends went from “We let the government worry about international affairs” and knew nothing (for example, the trade war that started in 2018.... I was in China when Trump really started pissing people off there. I took video of the tv headlines talking about it as I was deep in the Henan province. But at that point, I don’t think a lot of Chinese were paying attention. Believe me, that has changed.) Now it’s... “We know all your major headlines.” I have asked my friends what they know. One won’t say anything because a friend of hers got his Wechat cutoff because of what he was saying the virus (back in March.) She will not talk about Trump, the government, nothing. A friend in Nanchang has dropped hints that she does not like what is happening in China. I am afraid to ask her too much or engage in that conversation because I don’t want her or me to get in trouble. China has been cutting American Wechat accounts off. Another friend who works for an international company in Shanghai tells me what her friends are saying about Trump. They are spoon fed. She has voiced her opinion about the trade war. But she has also told me that they all know ways around different government restrictions (which shocked me that she said that out loud.) The Chinese don’t know life any differently and they believe their government has their best interests in mind. Do I think there will be some kind of ground invasion? Absolutely not. Do I think they will try to control our technology and whatever else they can do via hacking.... unequivocally yes. Do their citizens know about it? I’m unsure who knows what. But I did ask two parents about Nashville and they were very aware. They sometimes know stuff before I’ve had a chance to read headlines.

I'm still waiting for the photo of the passenger jet flying through Washington D.C. that hit the most surveillled building in the world before I'll believe anything on this incident.

I know people who saw it happen. One of my husband’s co-workers was on the plane, my mom’s boss was on the phone looking out his window in the old Navy Annex and saw it happen. A flight attendant friend lost friends working the flight. A friend from church was a first responder who worked around the clock in the rubble for weeks investigating and died of a rare cancer a few years later, like so many others who were at the crash scenes in NY and VA.
