It appears that 2020 will go out with one last bit of madness in the form of what appears to be a random bombing in Nashville. On Christmas morning, according to the police and media, a camper van exploded on an empty downtown street. Supposedly, the police were warned there was a bomb in the area, so they cleared the streets and nearby buildings before the bomb went off. As unlikely as that sounds, it is the story they are currently pushing through the official media organs.
Obviously, the point of the bombing is the story. In a case like this, you have several possible motivations. One is political. The bomber is trying to make a political point that will eventually be revealed. Given the location, it seems unlikely. There is no government facility at the bombing sight. Nashville has not been a hotbed of radical unrest like Portland or Seattle. There has been little in the way of BLM activity or any made-up claims of right-wing activity.
That does not rule out politics, but it probably means the bomber or bombers are well outside the mainstream. In other words, they are crazies who found a reason to be crazy in this way. A lot of what gets classified as terrorism is in fact crazy people acting on something they picked up from the media. Dylann Roof is the media’s favorite terrorist, but in reality, he is a kid with severe psychological problems. Ted Kaczynski is probably the most famous case of crazy man politics.
You also have the more mundane explanations. The bomber could have been in a dispute with the owner of the building. He may have been romantically involved with someone that works in the building. The man responsible for the worst school shooting in American history was a guy who snapped after a local election. Andrew Kehoe went bonkers, killed his wife, burned down his farm and then went to the local school and killed 38 people before blowing himself up in a truck bomb.
Of course, the usual suspects will be flooding the internet with claims that the bomber is part of some wide-ranging secret conspiracy. He was sent by the deep state or maybe he was sent by Q to attack the deep state. This type of event is catnip for the sorts of people into conspiracy theories. Since it fits in well with the Q-grift and the plan-trusting grift, it will draw in the usual crowd. In fairness, the constant lying by people in authority is driving the rise in conspiracy mongering.
That is not to say there is no conspiracy behind this event. We still have no idea what really happened with the Las Vegas shooting. The assassination of Seth Rich on the streets of DC has never been explained. The truth of the FBI conspiracy to overturn the 2016 election has never been explained. You can make a long list of events over the last decade that have been covered up by the government or explained in a way that strains credulity. People are right to be skeptical.
This is the fruit of ruling class corruption. They refuse to abide by the rules and adequately enforce the rules. This lowers public trust. Then the ruling class tolerates an army of incompetents in the bureaucracy, which only makes the public more skeptical of their institutions. To remedy that problem, the media manufactures lies to explain it all, but those lies are rather easy to disprove. Our authoritarian overclass is a toxic blend of mendacity and mediocrity. They can no longer be trusted on anything.
The thing is it could very well be a sign of things to come. Make enough of the people miserable and some of them will respond. Unlike the old Soviet Union or modern China, the American ruling class is fully exposed. They do not live in guarded compounds surrounded by armed guards. They also rely on a managerial class to implement their rules and policies. Those credentialed managers live in easily accessed neighborhoods and travel around in public, totally unprotected.
Then you have the fact that America has tens of millions of people capable of making a decent truck bomb with common materials. How many people walking around in America have been trained by the military on the basics of this stuff? Think about how many guys saw how IED’s and car bombs were used in the Middle East. You do not even have to have had direct experience with these tactics. The use of car bombs and IED’s has been a staple of the mass media for a generation now.
It may seem farfetched but think about what has been normalized this year that was considered crazy talk in 2019. We have widescale lock downs of the population and official talk of internal passports and social credit systems. As America lurches into a high-tech prison state, expect the inmates to respond accordingly. The IRA made war on the support system of the British occupation this way. They used bombs to tell those people that the British could not protect them. It could happen here.

The first thing I thought when I heard about the bombing was the bomber had about a 98% chance of being named Muhammad something-or-other. Christmas day. Truck bomb. Yeah, Muhammad.
I guess we have a bet here…
My spanking new Lamborghini Avanti against your bath slippers?
My first thought was Antifa. The news says they found a body so it could be a weird suicide.
I think most folks involved in Antifa are too nihilistic and narcissistic to go to great lengths to warn people.
RV’s aren’t sexy enough for Antifa.
Apparently, it may have been bought at an auction. Hard to visualize antifa showing up at a vehicle auction to buy a camper van.
If I was a betting man it will turn out to be a local dispute with the bomber being an unstable person.
Supposedly, the police were warned there was a bomb in the area, so they cleared the streets and nearby buildings before the bomb went off. As unlikely as that sounds…
The IRA did that in Britain. If the story is legit, it’s most likely white guys.
The trouble is we will never get a straight answer from the government.
The media is now fully memory-holing anything related to white men. There are thousands of people protesting in Toronto every week against lockdowns – you wouldn’t even know it happened unless you saw it live.
They are scared of us… But they are also going ramp up the “unpersoning” of us I think. We need to be atomized, and feel that we’re alone in thinking bad thoughts.
The media will ignore the threat until their tracheas are ripped out and fashioned into wearable art sold on Etsy.
The videos of the warning and initial news reports had the tape of the weird warning and countdown. As the observed media tendency over decades is the truth slips out the first hour and then is suppressed*, I actually believe the recorded warning and countdown legit. Not to mention the low casualties in comparison to damage to what was partially a residential area support same. *see among many examples the Columbine Shooting: The first news hour was ‘OMG that’s the *Gay* trench coat mafia” after the first hour it became the Trenchcoat Mafia. Gay got the Spike, as Arnaud DeBorcharave… Read more »
A couple of years ago I would have agreed with you but Z is correct that nothing coming from the official media or the government can be believed.
The British establishment was much tougher than our rulers. The American Troubles wouldn’t last very long.
As I noted in my comment, our rulers can give a punch – though they prefer to do so electronically than physically which is telling – but they can’t take a punch. I’m surprised how exposed they are. You’d think that they’d know their weakness and get behind some serious walls.
Given the sophistication, warning, and target, the most likely explanation is that this was a warning and/or test regarding the vulnerability of communications infrastructure. An outside possibility is that it was a false flag, but the narrative is moving kinda slowly for that one. The mundane explanations (e.g. ex-employee mad at AT&T) don’t make sense. So who would want to send such a warning or conduct such a test? The conspiracy theories here do fit the attack. It could be one faction or the other in the deep state. These factions exist, and they see their conflict as existential. Rogers… Read more »
Rectification of names: “conspiracy theory” is a bad name for the internal warning/test hypothesis because it’s emotional, and because it mischaracterizes the likely mechanism. The likely mechanism is emergent behavior by lower-level members of a patriotic or globalist faction with current or past ties to the security establishment.
The thing is, there are conspiracies. The 2016 FBI scandal is a perfect example. The role people like Alex Jones plays though is to make all thoughts of conspiracy seem deranged, thus no one asks too many questions.
I agree but the stigma of being called a “conspiracy” theorist is losing it’s sting and alot of normal people believe one now.
after alex jones fired david knight at the behest of an israelite disinformer it became obvious he is controlled opposition.

Yeah Alex Jones had some IRS problems that went away…
Weird thing is the warning to evacuate. To me it rules out Islamists, and makes a demonstration of some kind, either politically domestic, or a foreign country telling intelligence agencies to F off. Anon conspiracies are out in full force, tying it to the ATT building, and thence to the Georgia runoff. Seems unlikely that something like this could be assembled that quickly, but what do I know. What I do feel confident about is that this is our future. The Left are the ones who have crossed the Rubicon, engaged in sedition against an elected president, and now brazenly… Read more »
Ah, from crowds.
Damn, I bet Ben Shapiro hasn’t even unpacked yet.
Ben Shapiro is moving to Nashville, and he’s bringing The Daily Wire (tennessean.com)
How long before the ADL declares it an antisemitic attack?
Tasty piece of mind candy here. Etched into the minds of all now is the potential of all RV’s being bombs, something security operations at the inauguration will no doubt be losing their sh🤡t over. Meanwhile, the C-4 packed saintmobile Prius (plural?) escapes the attention of the dc police and slips unnoticed into the secured zone.
I was involved in some of the very early post-911 collaboration between AT&T and the NSA (the list of people who know more about the Narus STA 6400 than me is pretty short). I was a contractor doing work deeply involved in the effort but not “need to know” so there was always squirrelly stuff going on just out of earshot of me. It was very spooky at times. I’ve been in some of those AT&T NOCs.
The idea that the choice of this AT&T building was a political one is extremely plausible.
I had not seen the AT&T part until now. Yeah, that could be nothing or it could be something. We have a lot of unguarded telecom stuff in this country.
The big red wall built in front of the ATT building you see all the pictures is a blast wall. Built specifically to protect the building from just what happened. Sorta worked.
Wasn’t there a quite sophisticated “attack” on communication hub or electrical station out in California a few years ago? I thought former navy seal Matt Bracken commented that it had all the hallmarks of a dry run or proof of concept attack? Interesting speculation.
Okay, does anyone else have that page from Google that’s just a list of links ‘you might be interested in’ sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t. Like for some reason I got a lot of sports and then you can say I’m not interested in that but they keep pushing the sports or degeneracy anyway. they really love pushing that. Anyway for the last week it’s been solid RV stuff. I don’t know why And I just find it weird.
I was talking with my BIL last night about how RV dealers are probably having their best year ever since people still want/need to travel but refuse to suffer the indignities of the current flying situation. Would anyone be surprised if some contrivance arose to crush that mode of travel?
I always thought Zman’s prediction that civil unrest in the US would look like The Troubles more than Bosnia to be spot on.
For some reason, earlier this week, I finally decided to pick up the books by Selco Begovic that I bought months ago but never got around to reading.
I think whatever amount of terrorism we have coming (and I think it’s coming) it will pale in comparison to the horror of infrastructure collapse. Because politicians have to obey lobbyists, they have to veto as much sensible “roads and bridges” legislation as they can. Look up the “Morandi Bridge” collapse in 2018. Italy has the excuse of being a truly ancient civilization. The Baltimore Gas & Electric explosion in your neck of the woods, and the indifference to lead in the water in Flint, are partially a result of vibrancy scaring away productivity, but it’s also the fact that… Read more »
and the government has to rely on their frontline protection by Laquisha and Tyrone
I wonder at what point do they become race realists?
could be a disgruntled fan of Camper Van Beethoven
I’m sure Abe Foxman thinks “Take the Skinheads bowling” is a Screwdriver song.
It wasn’t just a mobile meth lab that went boom?

FBI, johnny on the spot with the crazy-guy nonpolitical bombing in Nashville.

FBI, cricket sounds when it comes to ANTIFA domestic terrorism and election irregularities.
It is probably the same crack squad of 15 agents they sent to Daytona to investigate a garage door pull down rope.
Unlike the old Soviet Union or modern China, the American ruling class is fully exposed. I’ve been saying for awhile that our rulers are laughably soft compared to past oppressors. The Bolsheviks, the Chinese communists, etc. imposed their will in an up close and personal way. They were also willing in the early days to put themselves on the line for their cause. Basically, they could both give and take a punch. What’s more, they knew what it felt like to be in the ring, the blood, the screams, the ugliness of it all. Our rulers have huge advantages over… Read more »
Ah yes the IRA, as it happens Revolver.com news picked this gem off twitter and the point is: The Irish. https://twitter.com/FordFischer/status/1342574843481513986 See there was a warning, and a weirdo on Youtube put up some stuff about COVID Irish lockdowns and…and..only the IRA gives warnings [gave warnings, the IRA is gone for 20 years] but using CSI/QAnon …. Yes, the actual Irish, based on Apophenic induction. Apophenia- ‘is the tendency to perceive meaningful connections between unrelated things’, see Q et al. Now since I’m actually Irish American I can’t rule it out, except to say not me or mine. It was… Read more »
The only logical explanation I can think of is someone needed to disrupt cell service to commit a heist. Some security companies have switched their services to cellular in the last few years after previously requiring landlines. The location and warning before the explosion are odd, there is no reason to think this would be a crowded area on Christmas morning. It could have been a crazy person with no real motive too.
The obvious one is that the dwarf Yid Shapiro recently moved to that neck of the woods and the FBI, now free of the onerous job of trying to overthrow The Orange Man, can go back to their regular day job of manufacturing exploding Mohamed’s.
