Since the Christmas morning Nashville RV bombing, FBI profilers have been groping to come up with a motive for Anthony Quinn Warner who was vaporized in the blast. New reports from multiple sources reported in The Tennessean indicate that his former girlfriend said he was working on a bomb for some time. FBI officials scouring the crime scene have not yet reported on the nature of the blast but some experts think it was similar to the fertilizer bomb used by the April 19, 1995 Oklahoma City bomb by Timothy McVeigh of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building. Experts suggested that the color of the blast cloud suggested a low intensity explosion resembling an ammonium nitrate fertilizer bomb. Unconfirmed reports suggest that Warner subscribed to the “lizard-people” conspiracy that many of the powerful world leaders and celebrities were lizard-like extraterrestrials.
Questioning friends and acquaintances that new Warner said he subscribed to the lizard-people conspiracy theory that thinks that powerful leaders and celebrities were lizard-like aliens that morphed back-and-forth to human form. None to the statements were attributed to any one person, suggesting there could be holes in the story. Yet some reports indicated that Warner would take his RV out on camping adventures hunting for aliens. Some people see the lizard-people as a precursor to QAnon, a pedophile hunting group that once claimed that former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was a closeted pedophile, a conspiracy theory promoted by former National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s son, Michael Jr. Whatever Warner’s problems, it’s clear he had something in common with other deranged maniacs like Oct. 1, 2017 Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock.
Paddock opened fire from his 26th floor hotel room, killing 61 concertgoers, including himself, injuring 680 other. While Warner killed no one other than himself, the similarity involves the senseless act, where FBI profilees never did determine a motive for Paddock’s massacre. Whether profilers get a clear motive on Warner is anyone’s guess. Talking about his obsessions with lizard-people or aliens does indicate he had some screws loose somewhere, unlike Paddock where his former girlfriend never made such allegations about weird conspiracy theories. Whether there’s any connection to QAnon is pure speculation at this point, only a way out comparison between equally insane beliefs. QAnon followers think that 74-year-old President Donald Trump was a Savior-like figure trying to purge the U.S. government of its “deep state” comprised of perverted pedophiles.
Lizard people conspiracy theorists have identified camouflaged aliens in people and far-flung as Bill and Hillary Clinton, former President George W. Bush, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and even Britain’s Queen Elizabeth, Madonna and Britney Spears. British journalist-turned lizard conspiracy theorist and New Age philosopher David Icke published his book called “The Biggest Secret,” accusing members of the Royal family of being alien lizards. Some the same conspiracy theories circulated on the Dark Web about 5G wireless networks that were out for mind control. Warner’s blast was in close proximity to AT&T’s Nashville headquarters, damaging the telecom’s building. Even 5G networks were blamed for spreading Covid-19 around the globe, with some mobile phone towers burned in the U.K. and Germany. While there’s nothing conclusive about Warner, it does indicate he was living in a fantasy world.
Associating Warner with QAnon or 5G conspiracies places the bombing dangerously close to right wing groups that backed Trump for president. No one’s yet made the link that the bombing was Warner’s protest about the outcome of the Nov. 3 presidential election. But it Trump’s viewed by QAnon and other right wing groups as the Savior, it only makes sense the President-elect Joe Biden would be seen as the anti-Christ. No one’s gone that far yet but speculation about Warner’s attachment to the lizard-people does indicate a dangerous degree of clinical paranoia. Detonated his RV close to the AT&T building does make a statement, though it’s not entirely clear what it is. Associating 5G with a government takeover could trigger someone like Warner to take out a source of 5G telecommunication infrastructure, trying to stop government surveillance.
Until there’s more confirmation of Warner’s crackpot ideas, it’s going to be difficult for FBI profilers to come up with a coherent motive. Using his bomb to commit suicide does suggest someone deeply troubled by dangerous runaway thoughts, creating the kind or fright that could lead to a grandiose act of destruction. Blowing himself up and a city block in Nashville provides frightening recognition of how some people go so far over the deep end that they can’t be reeled back to reality. Questions of whether or not Warner was diagnosed with a terminal illness, reportedly gifting his earthly possessions away before the blast have not been verified. What’s know at this point is that he spent a lot of time in preparation, building powerful bomb timed to vaporize himself on Christmas Day. Whether the lizard-people or aliens triggered Warner is anyone’s guess.
