Nashville officials believe this explosion was an intentional act. Say they got reports of a suspicious vehicle parked outside AT&T (batman building) before it happened. Hazardous devices unit was en route when "significant explosion" happened.

9/11 happened in the morning.
True. It happened at around 9am which would be the start of the business day.
Terrorists are always looking for maximum carnage, maximum deaths.
Setting a car bomb off on the street at 6:30am on Christmas morning would be a waste of effort.
Not enough people around unless it is someplace that would start early, like a Church.
Why not wait until noon when maximum traffic is on the street?
Can't say what this was, but it did not happen like a typical terrorist attack would.

Not confirmed, there was a 911 call to the police before the explosion. If true, someone was trying to take out the police as much as possible, but we should wait and see what happens.

At the moment, this appears to be an act of terrorism of some kind, although the FBI will have to make that determination itself. If it was an act of terrorism, it will be the most significant bombing in the US in years. Assuming that this was a terrorist act, it seems very unlikely to be foreign or foreign-inspired, as those attacks almost always target large numbers of civilians.
Given the sequence of events thus far, the target at least appears to be the police department in Nashville. The so-far bogus call of shots fired would have drawn a significant response from the police, and in fact did. Right now, the worry would be that the bomber might have set up a multi-level trap:
...
As Campbell says, “there’s a lot we don’t know†at this point. But Campbell, a former FBI investigator himself, says that it’s clear that this wasn’t designed to be a mass casualty event, and it also doesn’t appear to have been designed to bring down buildings a la Oklahoma City 1995. It could be a statement bombing, although one in which no one has yet claimed responsibility. It could also be a trap to take out some police officers in the line of duty.

Wow, that's incredible.
The bomb, in an RV, was immediately outside an ATT data/switching center, located in a non-descript building along the west side of Second Ave in downtown Nashville. It's not known whether that ATT center was actually the target. Damage to the exterior of the building is apparent in local TV news coverage but the building is basically intact; reports are that capabilities within the building have been damaged, leading to wide-spread disruption in communications.
Immediately across the street, on the east side of Second Ave, is a row of much older buildings that date back to the Riverboat commerce days of the mid-1800s. They've been largely refurbished and converted but from exterior casual inspection are obviously old buildings. Damage in those buildings is severe in places and initial speculation is that some might have to be condemned.
In fact there is evidence that the desire was to *minimize* deaths; a loud, taped announcement from the RV warned of imminent detonation and alerted people to evacuate for several minutes before the blast. That announcement spurred the local PD (known in my day simply as "Metro") to evacuate people quickly once they arrived to investigate reports of shots fired. I've seen nothing in news coverage about actual shots fired, only that people reported such; that could have been some sort of louder attention-getting feature of the recorded message, setting into motion the events leading to the explosion.

I believe you may be correct. The idea that the bombers may have called police to the scene for the type of call that would elicit a large response, announced that there would be a detonation with enough time to clear people from the area before the explosion, indicates this was not intended to kill people, rather to damage a specific target.
Also, an Explosion at a steel factory in Hamilton, Ontario, which has the brown cloud reminiscent of the ammonium nitrate explosion in Beiruit. https://www.todocanada.ca/no-injuries-no-evacuations-following-large-explosion-at-hamilton-steel-plant-police/ (https://www.todocanada.ca/no-injuries-no-evacuations-following-large-explosion-at-hamilton-steel-plant-police/) Ontario video: https://twitter.com/i/status/1342515829733265410 (https://twitter.com/i/status/1342515829733265410)

Considering the 911 ops are compromised in the region, there might be an ulterior (criminal) motive. How many alarm connections have been shut down, and what high value larceny targets are in that area? This might be motivated by nothing more than money, and not political at all.
But, the next question is where data lines from Georgia route through on their way overseas...

Nashville explosion witness: Apartment demolished, windows blown to the back
RV reportedly parked near 2nd & Commerce at 1:22 am before later exploding.
By Charles Creitz | Fox News
A witness and victim of the mysterious bombing in Nashville, Tenn., early Friday told Fox News that most of his possessions, including his apartment are a total loss, and that he is thankful he was not in the front room of his when the blast went off.
Buck McCoy, a musician, had awakened early Christmas morning to gunshots and walked to the front windows of his loft apartment to see what was happening below on Second Avenue North, he told "America's News HQ."
McCoy said he didn't immediately see anything that could have been the source of the gunfire and went to the rear of his apartment to sleep.
However, he heard more gunshots but he chose not to get up, he said.
"Within ten minutes, I was laying in bed," McCoy said. There was just the biggest explosion I have ever, ever heard. It just knocked the windows from the front room into the back. It knocked the front door off the hinges."
Water was pouring from all the pipes, and there was dust everywhere, he said.

*****rollingeyes***** Now every idling vehicle is suspect.
Several downtown streets closed as police investigate suspicious RV
by Katherine Barrier, WKRCFriday, December 25th 2020
CINCINNATI (WKRC (https://local12.com/news/local/several-downtown-streets-closed-as-police-investigate-suspicious-rv-cincinnati)) - Several streets in downtown Cincinnati are closed as authorities investigate a suspicious RV.
Police said they were called to Sixth Street near the federal building Friday afternoon to look into an RV with its engine running. Police said the investigation is out of an abundance of caution following an RV explosion in Nashville Friday. Authorities in Tennessee believe the explosion was an "intentional act."
The armed response team has been activated, and police are using explosion detection K9s to clear the scene. They say, at this time, there is nothing else of a suspicious nature. ...
UPDATE: false alarm (not surprisingly).

The tag will be stolen most likely, and the Cops already have it anyway from screening the bomb debris.

They took out the ATT Center from some reason that could be miles away from where the explosion happened.
It seems more like it is a criminal theft scenario more than typical 'terrorism'.

Whatever happened, it is not terrorism.
Muslims rarely detonate before noon, unless they are targeting another Church?
And this is not that. So, It's a mystery?

Muslims don't own terrorism. There are also domestic terrorists,as well as other political and religious terrorists.
If this wasn't an act of terrorism,I have no idea what it was.

BREAKING: Nashville police say officers saw suspicious RV and swept apartments door-to-door before blast occurred, likely saving lives. Officers were “blown to the ground†& at least one suffered hearing loss.

These are the only two pieces of good news I see here. Nobody was killed,and the one cop that lost his hearing will probably get his hearing back,with only minor ringing in his ear that he will quickly get used to.

I believe they may have been targeting LEOs, but didn’t want collateral damage.
Gunfire reported.
Immediately after gunfire, the announcement starts stating that a bomb was going to go off in 15mins and to evacuate the area.
LE dispatched to the area to investigate the gunfire and to try and evacuate folks.

@Axeslinger
Could be,but I think it was more likely they were trying to take out the communications facilities where the truck parked.
I don't know why they would do this,but there was a reason.
-
I don't know man. It was not terrorism.
Looks much more like they intentionally took out the ATT mobile phone center.
The fact that the RV was parked 'suspiciously' rules out that where it was parked was a simple coincidence.

Some Interesting Questions Raised About the Viral Video of the Nashville Bombing
Ford Fischer who has done a lot of coverage of Antifa and Black Lives Matter may have come across something interesting when it comes to the bombing in Nashville this morning.
One of the most unusual things about the Nashville bombing was that there were reportedly gun shots before hand and then a recording in the RV which warned people to evacuate out of the area before the RV blew up.
But then on top of that, Fischer noticed something else odd. Many in media have been sharing a viral video of the explosion area, taken from across the street, with a warning to evacuate and then the explosion.
Error 404 (Not Found)!!1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nygTJeu9fU&feature=emb_logo#)
Fischer noticed some interesting things about the account that posted the video.

Exclusive: Nashville explosion witness remembers chilling warning from the RV: 'A bomb is in this vehicle'
A woman's voice warned downtown residents to evacuate before the Christmas morning explosion that rocked Nashville, according to witness who described hearing the chilling message before fleeing with her family.
Betsy Williams, who owns the Melting Pot building on Second Avenue, lived in a loft apartment on the third floor of the building near the center of the blast.
Williams said she left the area after she heard the recording play a countdown to the explosion.

It doesn't take a great leap of intellect to postulate that this is an infrastructure strike, not aimed at first responders nor at civilians. The announcements, and possibly gunshot noise would attract attention, and cause evacuation prior to the explosion, obviously NOT the work of people trying to rack up a body count.
Noted that the Airport shut down over related communications issues, and 911 services disrupted over a fairly large area, the nondescript building may have housed more critical communications infrastructure than noted in news reports. (which would not be surprising, because no one would want to discuss the intimate details of communications infrastructure with a public which would contain the bombers, who I'm pretty sure were targeting just that. There is no gain in announcing vulnerabilities to hostile forces, so while damage would be minimized in the press, any idea of severity would have to wait for reports of compromised services, if even that is reported outside emergency management circles.

My SIL, a Nashville resident, just pointed out this story from back in June:
Tennessee newspaper investigating "horrific" ad claiming "Islam" would bomb Nashville
JUNE 22, 2020 / 6:29 AM / CBS/AP
A major Tennessee newspaper said Sunday it is investigating what its editor called a "horrific" full-page advertisement from a religious group that predicts a terrorist attack in Nashville next month. The paid advertisement that appeared in Sunday's editions of The Tennessean addresses the "citizens of Nashville" and warns that the attack would happen on July 18, 2020.
The ad from the group Future For America claims Donald Trump "is the final president of the USA" and features a photo of Trump and Pope Francis. It begins by claiming that a nuclear device would be detonated in Nashville and that the attack would be carried out by unspecific interests of "Islam." . . .

Police identify person of interest in Nashville explosion: reports
Just the News, Dec 26, 2020
Law enforcement on Saturday reportedly developed a person of interest – possibly several – in the Nashville explosion that police have claimed was intentionally set off early on Christmas Day.
CBS reporter Jeff Pegues tweeted on Saturday afternoon that police "have a person of interest or persons of interest" in connection with the purported bombing.
Three individuals have been identified so far as having been injured in the blast, which occurred in Nashville around 6:30 a.m. on Friday.

Agree with all that. We (the public) will never know the full extent of what happened or why it happened.
Whatever the FEDs disclose after the investigation is just as likely to be a cover story as it is likely to be true.
With the PRAVDA-like press today in America, it is difficult to believe anything they say no matter what it is.

Person of interest identified in connection to Nashville blast
Updated on: December 26, 2020 / 2:58 PM
CBS NewsA law enforcement source told CBS News at least one person of interest has been identified in connection to the recreational vehicle that exploded on Christmas morning, rocking downtown Nashville. Multiple sources confirm that Anthony Quinn Warner, a Nashville area resident, had a similar make and model recreational vehicle as the one in photos released to the public.
Warner was described as a 63-year-old White man. Federal agents are at the address listed to Warner. ...
There is video of the RV in downtown Nashville. Investigators have a Google Maps photo of the address of the person of interest that shows a similar looking camper in the yard. Google Maps says the picture was taken in May 2019. ...

Not sure this is the same RV as shown in the Second Avenue video still shot, shown in reply 39 on this thread (sorry I don't know how to link or insert an image here, perhaps someone who posts more frequently could prepare a side-by-side).
The RV in the video still shot has a row of five lights or reflectors across the top front, in a 1 3 1 pattern, and a sixth light or reflector immediately below and in the center; the RV shown here lacks that sixth item. The brand logo across the front does not appear (to me) to match and the second, large component on the vehicle roof does not appear (to me) to match in the two photos.
As a native of the Nashville area, I want the law to solve this quickly and carry out any appropriate prosecutions, but I don't want to see another Richard Jewell situation. If the main link is a similar-looking RV, I would call the case weak.

Just in case you were waiting for the conspiracy theory (which someone of my acquaintance has brought to my attention):
The Wiretap Rooms: The NSA’s Hidden Spy Hubs in Eight U.S. Cities
Ryan Gallagher, Henrik Moltke
June 25 2018, 8:00 a.m.
The secrets are hidden behind fortified walls in cities across the United States, inside towering, windowless skyscrapers and fortress-like concrete structures that were built to withstand earthquakes and even nuclear attack. Thousands of people pass by the buildings each day and rarely give them a second glance, because their function is not publicly known. They are an integral part of one of the world’s largest telecommunications networks – and they are also linked to a controversial National Security Agency surveillance program.
Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. In each of these cities, The Intercept has identified an AT&T facility containing networking equipment that transports large quantities of internet traffic across the United States and the world. A body of evidence – including classified NSA documents, public records, and interviews with several former AT&T employees – indicates that the buildings are central to an NSA spying initiative that has for years monitored billions of emails, phone calls, and online chats passing across U.S. territory.
The NSA considers AT&T to be one of its most trusted partners and has lauded the company’s “extreme willingness to help.†It is a collaboration that dates back decades. Little known, however, is that its scope is not restricted to AT&T’s customers. According to the NSA’s documents, it values AT&T not only because it “has access to information that transits the nation,†but also because it maintains unique relationships with other phone and internet providers. The NSA exploits these relationships for surveillance purposes, commandeering AT&T’s massive infrastructure and using it as a platform to covertly tap into communications processed by other companies. ...
The Intercept (https://theintercept.com/2018/06/25/att-internet-nsa-spy-hubs/?fbclid=IwAR1v1Fi3YYM4h5wJ8yndMy5J7R3xnK1EiM1MSy5w4N0hWt64q3BplSF4BFA)

I figured that was the AC, but I camp in tents, tarps, and hammocks, not campers, so I don't know much about the latter. Round versus square is what I observe as well, but I consider the mismatch in the lights/reflectors to be definitive. IMO these photographs are not the same vehicle.

American Military News by Jami Ganz - New York Daily News 12/27/2020
Authorities working in Nashville have officially identified a person of linked to the Christmas Day explosion that rattled the city early Friday.
“The police chief [confirmed] to NBC News that they have identified a person of interest in connection with this bombing investigation,†NBC News Correspondent Shaquille Brewster said Saturday, a little over an hour after authorities wrapped up a briefing in the city.
“This is a person of interest, not a formal suspect,†Brewster confirmed, pointing to a “large law enforcement presence†in the area of Antioch, about 12 miles southeast of Nashville.
Following information related to the investigation, authorities have filtered in and out of an Antioch duplex for “court authorized activity,†FBI public affairs officer Darrell DeBusk told the Nashville Tennessean.
DeBusk said he was unaware of any person currently in custody.
CBS News was the first to report the person of interest Saturday, citing sources. At the afternoon briefing, authorities refused to corroborate that.
“We can’t confirm any individuals or anybody we’ve identified,†FBI Special Agent in Charge Doug Korneski said.
“At this point we don’t have any indication we are looking for another subject,†said Korneski. “But again, there’s 500 leads we’re running through.â€

The brand name is not different. There is a pixilation on the right which makes the brand appear to be two words. It's the same.
The pixelation effect in the photo on the right is clear when one looks more closely, as I should have done; it's still not clear to me that the brand logos are the same but given the resolution of the photo on the right, perhaps the logos are the same.
The AC on the right is not round. The way the light is reflecting off the corner combined with pixilation distortion makes it look that way.
Sorry, I'm not buying this one, but I will acknowledge that the AC units could have been changed after the picture on the left was taken. If I were running the investigation I'd want to see evidence for such a change, perhaps in the service records of any nearby RV maintenance businesses.
It's the same RV. IMHO
There is still the sixth light/reflector shown on the right, immediately below the horizontal stripe and centered left-to-right, which is not present on the left. Perhaps that also could have been a change after the photo on the left was taken, but why would anyone make that change?
-
And the striping widths are different.
-
@HoustonSam
The problem is the pixilation distortion of the brand name is at a critical point.
It is distorting the major T of the name.
On the right you can see the two lines of the upper case T extending out from above the distortion.
In the photo on the left, if you mentally erase the line defining the corner, it becomes round.
The photo on the left is so distorted, as is the one on the right, I cannot tell light/reflectors on either one from simple distortion.
-
And the striping widths are different.
The photo on the right has been 'enhanced'. So minor details like that are not reliable.
Width/Length/Height of all of it are all distorted.
-

The image on the right's front width is less than the image on the left, But the striping's width on the right is wider. So it may be " unreliable to You" , but it is not the same type of model.

Your point here is well-made; I can see what you're saying and it makes sense; one can "see past" the pixelation.
In the photo on the left, if you mentally erase the line defining the corner, it becomes round.
The photo on the left is so distorted, as is the one on the right, I cannot tell light/reflectors on either one from simple distortion.
Still not with you here however. Calling these differences pixelation seems too convenient for me.
Perhaps the authorities had other evidence implicating Warner to justify raiding and searching his home - additional Christmas Eve night camera shots at intersections leading back to his house for example. But from our standpoint as observers of media reports I don't find the similarity of his RV to the RV in the still-shot adequate to conclude that he's the guy. Had I been the judge I'm not sure I would have issued the search warrant just on the evidence that we have seen.
What I *can't* explain is where he is now. If I were identified as a "person of interest" in a bombing, and I were innocent, I'd be doing whatever I could to clear my name, including releasing photos of my still-intact RV with me standing in front of it holding the morning newspaper.

Three people were injured and severe damage was reported in the blast
Cops had been called to the area a short time before amid reports of a shooting
However, when they arrived at the scene, they discovered a parked RV playing a recording that claimed the vehicle would explode in 15 minutes
Officials now say they believe the blast was the result of a suicide bombing
The incident has led investigators on a wild chase to determine the identity of the RV's owner
Warner reportedly owned a white RV similar to the one which exploded, and federal agents were seen outside his house Saturday, removing items from the basement of the home
Authorities will swab Warner's mother to determine if he is a match to remains found at the bomb site
DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal Warner gave the $160,000 home away for free last month
Michelle Swing, a 29-year-old woman living in Los Angeles, was given the house but it is not known whether she had ever met Warner or whether she had family links to him
Swing claims she had no idea that Warner had signed over the property to her
Warner had also transfered her a nearby house worth $249,000 for free in January 2019

A 29-year-old mother who was given two homes worth $409,000 for free by the man identified as a person of interest in the Nashville Christmas Day bombing has said she had no knowledge of the property exchange, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Michelle Swing, who lives in Los Angeles, claims she was unaware Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, had signed the $160,000 Bakertown Road property raided on Saturday away to her last month via a quitclaim deed.
Swing’s signature does not appear on the November 25 transfer.
‘In the state of Tennessee you can deed property to someone else without their consent or their signature or anything,’ Swing told DailyMail.com
'I didn't even buy the house he just deeded it over to me without my knowledge. So this all very weird to me, that’s about all I can say.'
However, Warner also transfered another home on Bakertown Road to Swing via a quitclaim deed last year.

Giving away/throwing away possessions is a big red flag for depression/suicide.
I've done it myself...seen others do it before deployment.
I've dug stuff out of dumpsters at Ft. Bragg which were brand new and expensive.

Yup. I knew people who were casual friends in VN that kept hundreds of bucks in MPC in their lockers,locked with only the typical cheap combination lock you could open with a hammer smack.
Then again,at least 75 percent of the people in my camp were SF guys,and explaining WHY you were in the wrong team room with missing money in your pocket could have been a long and painful experience. You do NOT lie to your brothers,you do steal from your brothers,and you do NOT refuse to rush to a brother's aid anytime he needs help. You either live by that code,or you are in the wrong unit.
Not for long,though.
Get caught stealing from a brother,and you will be damn lucky to make it to another unit in one piece.
I once borrowed 700 bucks from Squirrel Sprouse to buy new stereo gear that had just came into the PX at Pleiku. We knew each other from previous deployments/assignments/training missions and shared friends/teammates,but were not even on the same team. I knew he had the money so I just asked him if I could borrow it until payday,and he smiled and handed it to me. No notes,no witnesses,no nothing. Not even the assurance I would still be alive on payday to pay him back.
When you are living life day to day,money and the future are just theoretical concepts. Not honor,though. Honor is real and forever,and sad to say,something it seems VERY few civilians understand.

Thanks! I personally know NOTHING about it,but I do have a deep and abiding SUSPICION that 5k crap destroyed the usability of my old phone,and forced me to buy a new smart phone (a 4k one because I am cheap and don't like phones to start with) that only works marginally better than my 10 year old phone worked. Even with the new phone I am still missing calls that never come in.
Granted,I live in a remote area,but before this 5k crap became the rage,I had no problem at all receiving or making calls with my old phone.

@sneakypete
All true. While we were stationed on a ship we had a casualty.
By the time the Master at Arms showed up to pack his locker for his family it was already wide open a cleaned out.
I could not see the future as well. When I heard of some event or a new movie or whatever that was months away, I ignored it.
Did not think it applied to me, because at the time I didn't think I would be around.
I understand exactly what you mean about theoretical future. Possessions/Money had no meaning, since everything is temporary.
In fact, that 'not being able to envision the future' lasted for several years after I got out.
Only in the last few years have I been able to calm down and embrace life as a long term issue.
After I got out, every New Year was a surprise to me. Not so much anymore.
The saying goes, 'Life is a marathon, not a sprint.' For me (and you, I guess), life was always a sprint, not a marathon.

Closest I've seen to a photo is a YouTube "news" update from a sketchy source "Epic News" merely quoting other sketchy sources, for which the "thumbnail" image was the still shot of the RV with a (supposed) zoom-in on the driver.
I don't think I've seen any authorities identify Warner, only media reports that he's a "person of interest." One would think that at least a driver's license photo would have been released. I wonder whether there is more than meets the eye; authorities might be looking for someone else but using predictable media-driven premature conclusions about Warner to hide the real direction of the investigation.
Or maybe it's as simple as it looks - an unbalanced and depressed man acted out on his delusions.

Anthony Quinn Warner biography: 13 things about Tennessee man
https://conandaily.com/2020/12/26/anthony-quinn-warner-biography-13-things-about-tennessee-man/
Anthony Quinn “Tony†Warner is a white man from Tennessee, United States. Here are 13 more things about him:
He was born on January 17, 1957 to Charles Bernard “Popeye†Warner and Betty C. Warner. Charles worked for BellSouth, a telecommunications company that merged into AT&T in 2006, and died on July 5, 2011.
He is 5’5″ tall.
He is unmarried. James Warner, Lawrence Warner and Billy Warner are his uncles while Shawn Godwin is his nephew.
He is not a registered voter.
In August 2018, he acquired a $160,000 house on 3724 Bakertown Road in Antioch, Tennessee. In January 2019, he gave the house via quit claim to Michelle Louise Swing. On November 25, 2020, he gave her another house, a two-story red brick house worth $249,000, on 115 Bakertown Road via a quit claim for $0.
He has one brother named Steve L. Warner, born on December 27, 1955, and one sister named Teresa Ann Warner Wardrop, who is also known as Teresa Godwin and married to James “Jimmie†Crawford Wardrop. Steve died of cancer on September 17, 2018. The house on 3724 Bakertown Road was originally owned by their grandfather Charles Steven Warner, who gave it to their parents. Steve acquired the property from their parents before passing it to him
On January 29, 1978, he was arrested for felony possession of controlled substance in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee. He was found guilty on November 8, 1979. Represented by Pat Flynn, he appeared before Judge Raymond Leathers on January 25, 1980.

That's true..think Alexa...lol
from your article above
He did information technology work for Nashville real estate agent Steve Fridrich for several years. In an interview with WSMV, Fridrich described him as a “nice guy.†The realtor said, “You know, he was a techie guy. (I) don’t mean anything negative about that. He would do this thing and leave. He didn’t bother anybody. He did his thing and leave.â€

@Cyber Liberty
No offense intended,but I suspect you don't have the first clue as to what it is like to be a laborer/drone with nothing BUT your paycheck and SS to look forward to,and then be dumped out on the street in your 50's or early 60's with no retirement or hope of finding another job because no one wants to hire someone as old as you.
Even thought I am doing well now,when I was first booted from my job with USPS with no warning due to Agent Orange breakouts,I had nothing. I damn near lost my house. I did lose my new car and new truck. I damn near was reduced to sitting here in the dark and sweating my life away because the power company was going to cut off my electricity. I had to drive to town and grab somebody by the neck over that one,and explain to them I NEEDED ac to keep sweat from making my infections worse,and that bad,bad things might happen to him if I got cut off. You can no longer do that now because the gate to the back stays locked,and they have an armed guard at the front door. My electricity didn't get cut off,though. IIRC,I had 6 or 7 months of payments to make by the time my first retirement check cam.e though,but I did manage to pay them all.
Not everybody has the retirement plan they had been planning for come true,and when it fails,they are too old to go bak and have a re-do. Desperate people do desperate things. Trust me on this one.
And the sad truth is most Americans have no retirement plan other than SS,combined with any money they can save after paying off their houses and getting out of debt while still working. Guess what happens when they have to quit working years or so before their plans,and they are too sick or too crippled up to find another job?

5G Wireless Communication and Health Effects—A Pragmatic Review Based on Available Studies Regarding 6 to 100 GHz
Sep 13, 2019
Abstract
The introduction of the fifth generation (5G) of wireless communication will increase the number of high-frequency-powered base stations and other devices. The question is if such higher frequencies (in this review, 6–100 GHz, millimeter waves, MMW) can have a health impact. This review analyzed 94 relevant publications performing in vivo or in vitro investigations. Each study was characterized for: study type (in vivo, in vitro), biological material (species, cell type, etc.), biological endpoint, exposure (frequency, exposure duration, power density), results, and certain quality criteria. Eighty percent of the in vivo studies showed responses to exposure, while 58% of the in vitro studies demonstrated effects. The responses affected all biological endpoints studied. There was no consistent relationship between power density, exposure duration, or frequency, and exposure effects. The available studies do not provide adequate and sufficient information for a meaningful safety assessment, or for the question about non-thermal effects. There is a need for research regarding local heat developments on small surfaces, e.g., skin or the eye, and on any environmental impact. Our quality analysis shows that for future studies to be useful for safety assessment, design and implementation need to be significantly improved.

Well, you're wrong about the "drone" part, I was hourly my entire life. But, I knew from the start Social Security would not be enough, so I didn't buy myself a bunch of expensive toys like boats along the way, instead I saved up. I knew Large Caps would explode under O'Bastard (at the expense of the Smalls), and I profited from that good guess. My options were not available to everybody.

@Cyber Liberty
Good for you!
The problem is not everyone is as "gifted" with foresight as you were,and even some of the people that were had the skids knocked out from under them due to circumstances beyond their control when they were in their 20's or 30's. I was out of my career in the army at age 25 due to Agent Orange exposure in VN,and had no civilian job skills. Not only that,but at the time of my discharge NOBODY wanted to hire VN vets because were were "ALL psycho killers".
Yeah,I got several good jobs when I was able to work,mostly because I was willing to take minimum wage if I had to,with the hope that my attitude and dedication would help me get raises. Never happened. Somebody's neighbor or child got any of the "good jobs" that came open.
After all,what incinitive did the bosses have to promote me when they they knew they would have a hard time hiring anyone to replace me that would show up sober and work hard to do his best every day?
I got out of the army after almost 7 years with a 10 percent disability rating for back injuries I suffered on a parachute accident on Okinawa. That hurt me more than it helped me because NOBODY wanted to hire someone with a bad back. In fact,USPS turned me down twice because of it. Ironically enough,they finally had to hire me because once I got Agent Orange Disability,the weasel docs at the VA were so pissed at me and others getting it that in the same letter they gave me 30 percent disability for Agent Orange,they took away the 10 percent disability by claiming my back injury had cured itself.
BTW,I wasn't even eligible for unemployment after getting out out of the army because I was considered to be "handicapped". The $67 a month I was getting from the VA completely cut me off from receiving unemployment pay.
I was one of the lucky ones. I wasn't as sick or injured as some,and I didn't have children to support. Because of this I was able to take minimum wage jobs and live in the back of a panel truck. Most of the jobs I got were seasonal,and ended when cold weather came,so I just did whatever came along during the winters.
I would have probably turned to crime if Agent Orange hadn't became a public issue,and I hadn't read an article about it while living in Denver,and immediately going to the VA hospital there and filing an Agent Orange claim. It was after getting approved on that claim and the Denver VA docs having a hissy-fit and pulling my back injury disability to prevent me from getting 50 percent disability that I was able to get the post office job. I worked as a letter carrier for 5 years without losing any time before the Agent Orange came back,and after a few months of not being able to work and them not being able to fire me because the time I was missing was due to illness,they were forced to retire me on medical disability.
And I am one of the lucky ones. There are many,many others,who through no real fault of their own other than not being related to or connected to the "right" people,ended up working menial jobs their whole working lives.

Nashville cops detail lifesaving moments before explosion: 'Christmas will never be the same for us'
Before it exploded, an RV issued a warning to evacuate, counted down, and played the song 'Downtown' by Petula Clark, police said
Five of the six Nashville police officers who went knocking door-to-door to evacuate residents moments before an RV detonated in a fiery blast in the downtown area early Christmas Day detailed their account of events in a press conference Sunday, explaining that it would be a holiday they would never forget.
"Christmas will never be the same for any of us," Officer James Wells, who has been with Metro Nashville Police for 21 months, said at a press conference early Sunday alongside his fellow officers.
excerpt:
It was a female voice announcing that they had 14 minutes until a large bomb would go off and it was their "primary objective" to evacuate. The recording soon changed to a song, which police later identified as "Downtown" by Petula Clark.

@HoustonSam
The problem is the pixilation distortion of the brand name is at a critical point.
It is distorting the major T of the name.
On the right you can see the two lines of the upper case T extending out from above the distortion.
In the photo on the left, if you mentally erase the line defining the corner, it becomes round.
The photo on the left is so distorted, as is the one on the right, I cannot tell light/reflectors on either one from simple distortion.
All images I have seen of the RVs have critical details obscured, or are from different (opposing) angles, and do not permit sufficient detail comparison to say whether or not the RVs are the same type, make, and model. Even given that all those details are the same in appearance, that does not prove that it is the same RV, nor does it establish a chain of custody linking the homeowner to the explosion. Are there lithium batteries on site at the AT&T building? I saw an image of a hazmat placard which indicated no water was to be used there on twitter. Could the explosion be from something else and have, incidentally, demolished the RV? Were the popping sounds explained as gunfire from something else, and the warning from the facility and not the vehicle? I'm seeing a lot of assumptions, here, but still short on confirming details.
-
The *popping* sounds reported as gunfire seems like it could be a huge clue?...Did he fire a weapon to wake everyone in the neighborhood or was something happening in the ATT building?

Were they also on tape, like the female "warning" voice?

Another possibility exists, that it could have been part of the audio if designed to get people's attention, wake them up, and get a larger police response to (eventually) clear the area. But the bottom line is that we don't know. There is supposedly no evidence of a weapon being discharged except for the noise. You would think the police on the scene would have been looking for cartridge cases or bullet damage prior to the announcement that an explosion was imminent. Does anyone have audio of the announcement? If the audio said the vehicle was going to explode, then the rest of this speculation is moot.
-
All images I have seen of the RVs have critical details obscured, or are from different (opposing) angles, and do not permit sufficient detail comparison to say whether or not the RVs are the same type, make, and model. Even given that all those details are the same in appearance, that does not prove that it is the same RV, nor does it establish a chain of custody linking the homeowner to the explosion. ......... I'm seeing a lot of assumptions, here, but still short on confirming details.
Appreciate your careful thought @Smokin Joe. Maybe this is the van and maybe this is the guy, but all we've seen is the similarity of a couple of RVs in pictures, one of which has a lot of distortion.
I drive a black Toyota Tundra, as do many other guys around here. If any of them ever commit a crime I guess my house will be raided and searched.

Nashville bombing suspect identified, acted as 'lone wolf' say police sources
Last Update 12 mins ago
Nashville bombing suspect identified as Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, police sources say
Authorities believe Warner owned the RV that exploded in downtown Nashville Friday
Danielle Wallace
By Danielle Wallace, David Spunt | Fox News
The suspect allegedly behind the Christmas Day bombing in downtown Nashville has been identified as 63-year-old Anthony Quinn Warner, two law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News.
Authorities believe Warner owned the RV that exploded in downtown Nashville early Friday, sources said. He also is believed to be deceased from the blast.
Human tissue was found amongst the debris left behind by the explosion, and investigators will be conducting DNA testing.
Metro Nashville Police Department Spokesman Don Aaron confirmed Warner's identity to the Associated Press on Sunday. He did not provide any more details. However, Warner had experience with electronics and alarms, according to public records.
Warner was believed to have lived at the home in Antioch, Tenn., searched for several hours Saturday by the FBI and several other law enforcement agencies. The home address on Google Earth shows the same RV parked in different places on the property dating back several years.
It appears to be a "lone wolf" situation, but the motive remains under investigation. Authorities do not believe the city of Nashville is in danger.

No, but I can while responding to reports of 'shots fired' well before the warnings started.

Three of my lifelong friends were all recently forced into retirement. And their basic retirement plan had been "Work until I fall over Dead" Now they are suffering the consequences of not planning ahead.
I planned ahead and was on track at 40... By 45 I had lost it all and all my planning didn't amount to a hill of beans... So there's that. Nothing for it, not my fault, and no one to blame. Just all gone. So it ain't generally right to blame folks for where they are in life. Sometimes you can call that right - But other times you are liable to be way off.

It's weird how this narrative is developing... I saw a map early on showing the detonation site, and it seemed to me that the AT&T was kinda incidental - My brother and I had talked this through at the time, and discarded the idea that AT&T was the target because he didn't park the RV right in front of it. Dunno, but maybe that early map was not right too.

Just off the WhatsApp phone with my brother again, and he clarified the AT&T thing - The RV WAS parked directly in front - the difference being that the AT&T office was down the street a bit, but the AT&T data farm was in a nondescript office building directly where the RV parked.
His cell service just went back on btw....

If he was parked directly in front of the nondescript data center, that would indicate that he had intel somehow from someone.

Human tissue was found amongst the debris left behind by the explosion, and investigators will be conducting DNA testing.
The combined investigation team announced earlier today that :
- a VIN number recovered from the wreckage matched vehicle registration records for Warner as determined by TN Highway Patrol;
- the recovered tissue from the scene is Warner's tissue based on DNA matching performed by TBI and FBI.
Whatever my questions about the photographs of the RV, this seems definitive.

Dominion voting is owned by Cerberus Capital Management.... Cerberus is run by Staple Street Execs. Joe Bidens Brother in Law, Steven Owens, is the cofounder of Staple Street Execs along with William Kennard (mentioned above).

So, the explosion “just happened†to be at the AT&T location where they “just so happen†to control the cooling system for the super computer and house the dominion voting machines and drives for forensic audit...

Nashville bomber Anthony Quinn Warner reportedly thought he’d be ‘hailed a hero’
By Lee Brown
December 28, 2020 | 7:27amNashville 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. ...

The guy who played recordings out of a box truck:
Tennessee man arrested after allegedly playing recording similar to Nashville bombing
By Marina Pitofsky - 12/28/20 07:31 AM EST
Sheriff’s deputies in Rutherford County, Tenn., on Sunday, arrested a man who was allegedly playing “audio similar to what was heard†before a vehicle exploded in downtown Nashville on Christmas Day.
The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office said in a Sunday statement that members of a church and customers at a convenience store in the Tennessee county “heard a box truck driver play audio Sunday similar to the audio heard before the Nashville explosion Christmas Day.†The sheriff’s office did not immediately confirm what was played in the audio.
The driver of the box truck, James Turgeon, 33, was arrested and charged with two counts of felony filing a false report and one count of tampering with evidence. Deputies stopped Turgeon in Wilson County, Tenn.
Officials confirmed that an explosive device was not detected in the truck ...

The investigation is young, I realize, but wondered whether there have been any reports as to the type of explosive used, or sightings of Warner purchasing large quantities of fertilizer, for example.

Was An Improvised Propane Bomb Used In The Nashville Bombing?
SOFREP by Sean Spoonts 12/28/2020
https://sofrep.com/news/was-an-improvised-propane-bomb-used-in-the-nashville-bombing/ (https://sofrep.com/news/was-an-improvised-propane-bomb-used-in-the-nashville-bombing/)
An improvised propane bomb is the most likely device used by the person behind the Christmas Day bombing in Nashville.
Nashville PD has released a high-resolution video of the explosion that can be viewed here. As a technical note, the camera may be a city camera used to monitor accidents at the intersection. The video does not offer a fast frame rate that would allow for a much closer examination of the blast.
SOFREP has viewed and analyzed several videos of the explosion and makes the following observations.
First, the explosion shows a bright fireball that evaporates very quickly and cleanly without much smoke dust or debris vaporization. This suggests that fuel, rather than explosives like C4, Dynamite, TNT, black powder, or ammonium nitrate, provided the source of the blast.
Hollywood explosions use lots of kerosine fuel, which creates big fireballs for dramatic effect, but they consume themselves and burn out very quickly. Propane creates extreme heat — on the order of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. It burns very cleanly with very little (even less than kerosene) smoke or residue. This is why propane is the preferred source of outdoor grills. But it is not ideal as an explosive.
We do not assess that a liquid fuel like kerosine was used because such fuels do not burn evenly at the point of ignition. What’s more, liquid fuel would have been ejected by the initial detonation of a precursor explosive and stuck to everything nearby. This would have been ignited by the heat of the initial blast setting trees, cars, brick walls, and light posts on fire. A large, raging kerosine fire of combustible material in the area of the explosion was not observed in the videos we’ve seen so far. Two cars that were damaged in the explosion caught fire and burned as a result of their combustible tires, plastics, and the fuel in their tanks.
The area of destruction seen in the available photos is fairly small. This is because propane’s shattering power (called Brisance by explosives experts) is not very high as it is with explosives like TNT or ammonium nitrate. This is supported by studies that have shown that in a propane explosion, the blast wave, even very close to the charge, is much less than a TNT explosion’s at that same close distance and with the same energy yield. In layman’s terms, when TNT and propane explode at the same energy yield the blast wave (shattering effect on near objects) is much lower for propane. This also explains why buildings, mostly made of brick, did not collapse by the explosion.

‘Lone wolf’ Nashville bomb suspect Anthony Warner ‘used his credit card to buy explosive chemicals,’ FBI told
The Sun by Grant Hodgson 12/29/2020
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13594025/nashville-bomb-suspect-anthony-warner-fbi/ (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13594025/nashville-bomb-suspect-anthony-warner-fbi/)
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.â€
The source added: “Initial results also show nitroglycerin was found on a residue swab taken from a tree trunk at the blast site.â€
The source said: “It is believed Warner had his dog with him at the time of detonation.
“Canine DNA has been found alongside Warner’s DNA.â€

Nashville RV bomber Anthony Quinn Warner was a cop-hating ‘hippie’: ex-colleague

December 29, 2020 | 7:54am Nashville RV bomber Anthony Quinn Warner was a weed-loving flower child with a “Magnum, P.I. mustache†— who hated cops, a former co-worker has claimed.
“He was kind of a hippie. Had long hair,†Tom Lundborg told The Daily Beast of his years-long daily dealings with the Christmas day suicide bomber starting in the 70s. ...
Warner told him he had been in the Navy, although there is no history of him, ever having served in the US Armed Forces, The Daily Beast noted.
Warner hated police, and would lecture his young colleague whenever they saw any officers, he said.
He told The Daily Beast that Warner would tell him, “I hate cops. They’re all corrupt. Never trust a cop.†...

I havent read through the entire thread so someone may have mentioned this already, but foreign news sources are talking about the AT&T building near the blast as a potential target. According to what I’ve heard there was a lot of data lost in the explosion. Havent heard any more than that.
Sounds like typical conspiracy stuff but the source I’m hearing from has been right about a lot our local media doesn’t see fit to cover.

If the FBI is involved, it is almost a certainty that we aren't getting the straight skinny on this. I find them only slightly more credible than the New York Times.
IF the bomber, as alleged, hated police, then why the warning? You would think the gunshot noises would attract a significant police presence, a delay might give enough time for tactical teams to assemble and attempt a takedown, the time for a cop hater to have the vehicle/bomb detonate would be when the maximum number of police were near it.
Something in this narrative just doesn't flange up.
Going with my gut on this, this was an infrastructure strike. Finding the owner and dog DNA doesn't mean that either was conscious or alive at the time of the blast, just that the bodies of each were in the vehicle at the time of the explosion. That would make for a nice, tight, unverifiable/disputable case with no one to say otherwise.
The narrative may be to protect critical and similarly vulnerable infrastructure hubs from disruption or damage by making this look like a lone nutcase after cops, downplaying the importance of the communications facility by asserting it was not the target.

I'm inclined to agree. Causing casualties clearly wasn't the objective and its a very unlikely way to commit suicide. There can be no other reason than to destroy some thing.
-
For all we know, Warner could have been a patsy. Someone tried to knock out communications for the entire region, and succeeded. Why?
To know that, we'd have to know what communications, types, and what sort of information was being routed through there to begin to sort it. We do know that cell phones were disabled, either by the bombing or as a precaution to prevent remote detonations (using cell phones) of any other devices which may have been in the area. (If the hadjis can use that to trigger IEDs, then surely some reasonably tech savvy person could do so). Communications were disrupted enough that the Airport was shut down. Emergency response lines (911) were reported to be down as far away as Knoxville. If emergency response lines were down, which are supposed to be reasonably secure from natural disasters, then other more sensitive data lines may be routed through the same facility. The question is what?
It stands to reason that the authorities would not want to disclose the nature of those communications because they would want to keep similar facilities from being targeted.

Might be that they were loaded into the RV already deceased, with the expectation that their DNA would close the case and leave the real bombers free and clear. (Damage to the bodies from the explosion would prevent forensic analysis of restraints, blunt force trauma, strangulation, and most other means of ensuring their demise.)
We don't know that he did it, just that he is being blamed. Without understanding fully the significance of the target, we can't adequately understand the level of motivation of the bomber(s), nor whether that level of motivation was present and sufficient for Warner to engage in this action. If he was the bomber did he act alone, or was he the cover story for another group?
