I want to start a new thread about how information & disinformation gets into the public domain.
This Newsweek article will prove very informative in this thread. So let’s start with the article. https://www.newsweek.com/nashville-bombing-suspects-5g-conspiracy-theory-investigated-1557424?amp=1&__twitter_impression=true
This Newsweek article will prove very informative in this thread. So let’s start with the article. https://www.newsweek.com/nashville-bombing-suspects-5g-conspiracy-theory-investigated-1557424?amp=1&__twitter_impression=true
This started because I wanted to know where everyone was getting the idea that Tony Warner was a “5G tinfoil hat” type. A.) he has no social media; he’s not talking about it there. B.) His neighbors don’t know much about him, beyond his first name, and that he was nice to pets
So his neighbors aren’t the ones suggesting he’s a 5G freak... C.) He doesn’t have any coworkers to suggest it D.) His family isn’t suggesting it. SO WHERE IS THIS IDEA COMING FROM? Who is suggesting that Tony is a 5G freak?
Let’s take a look at the first paragraph of this Newsweek article.
“The FBI are looking into whether the suspect at the center of the Nashville Christmas Day bombing was paranoid about 5G conspiracy theories, ACCORDING TO REPORTS.”
Ugh, hold up; What Reports?
“The FBI are looking into whether the suspect at the center of the Nashville Christmas Day bombing was paranoid about 5G conspiracy theories, ACCORDING TO REPORTS.”
Ugh, hold up; What Reports?
So 1st indication of this 5G freak idea comes from this Newsweek article. But what reports are they referring to? Let’s read paragraph two (2):
“Steve Fridrich, a RE agent based in Nashville, CONTACTED the FBI TO TELL THEM that he previously worked w/ a man named Tony Warner.”
“Steve Fridrich, a RE agent based in Nashville, CONTACTED the FBI TO TELL THEM that he previously worked w/ a man named Tony Warner.”
Paragraph 3 is key: “Speaking to WSMV, Fridrich said AGENTS ASKED HIM if the man he worked with had paranoia about 5G technology and conspiracy theories about it being used to spy on Americans.”
So first of all, it’s the FBI that is leading the potential witness down this path. The FBI asked him... not: “tell us about your conversation with Tony”. But it’s the FBI that introduces the subject to the witness...,
Next, ask yourself: How does WSMV know about a conversation between a concerned real estate agent who called the FBI and the FBI themselves? Who leaked that information? Did the real estate agent call WSMV after he was interviewed by the FBI? Doubtful. Would you? Who leaked it?
It’s a WSMV reporter named Jeremy Finley, contacting the FBI and learning about the conversation with a real estate agent from the FBI.
In other words, the FBI “leaked it.” or “openly discussed it” w/reporter (if you prefer), including providing the name of RE Agent.
In other words, the FBI “leaked it.” or “openly discussed it” w/reporter (if you prefer), including providing the name of RE Agent.
Then, WSMV contacts the RE Agent to discuss his recent conversation with the FBI. Here’s the WSMV report. https://www.wsmv.com/news/fbi-agents-investigating-if-5g-paranoia-was-behind-nashville-bombing/article_952f937e-47f9-11eb-b1c3-bfda1689fb18.html?block_id=998329
Once WSMV is finished talking to FBI, and interviewing the RE agent the FBI pointed WSMV to, and then writes up an article about it, Newsweek can then pick up and repeat the WSMV story as “ACCORDING TO REPORTS” (see tweet #4, above)
Now (if needed) the FBI can use both the WSMV article and the Newsweek article (and all other news agencies who used WSMV or Newsweek in a similar way) to say: “We see lots of “reports” &/or chatter in the media that Warner may have been a 5G freak, so we wanted to investigate.”
See how that works? Sounds a lot like how “crossfire hurricane” got up and rolling, right?
anyhow just a few Sunday thoughts for you critical thinkers out there. Enjoy your day.

As a follow up to yesterday’s thread, here is the British tabloid “The Sun” reporting on Anthony Warner possibly being a 5G-freak. AS WAS the case, yesterday (with Newsweek), The Sun ALSO uses Jeremy Finley of local NBC affiliate, WSMV, as their source. https://www.the-sun.com/news/2036003/fbi-nashville-bomb-5g-paranoid/
In yet another follow up to my previous - we now have this NY Post, article referencing another NY Post article - https://nypost.com/2020/12/27/fbi-probing-if-nashville-bomber-was-paranoid-about-5g-technology/ which then ONCE AGAIN refers back to Jeremy Finley, the NBC affiliate WSMV article - THE FBI IS LITERALLY THE SOURCE FOR THIS 5G BULLSHIT.
In still another follow up to my previous - we now have thisInsider Article - https://www.insider.com/anthony-warner-gave-possessions-away-may-have-had-5g-paranoia-2020-12, referencing ONCE AGAIN the Jeremy Finley - NBC affiliate WSMV article - the FBI is the source for this 5G theory.
Here’s a “5G theory” article from Fox 17 that someone sent me - in the article, Fox 17 discusses the situation more directly - carefully read paragraph 2 - The Feds are the source - https://fox17.com/news/local/did-5g-technology-internet-conspiracies-lead-to-paranoia-in-nashville-bomb-suspect
By the way - I should take a moment, here on Day 3 - that EVENTUALLY, the Feds WILL find the witness THEY NEED to put a bow on this - If you ask enough people a question, where you’re leading them by the hand, down the path, you’ll eventually get the answer you want.
Here’s a story from Yahoo News that talks about 5G conspiracies at the FBI in general... (1 of 2) https://news.yahoo.com/law-enforcement-warned-about-5-g-conspiracy-theories-months-before-nashville-bombing-204429768.html
But read closely (meaning all the way to paragraph 10), the moment the article gets specific about the Nashville bombing...,
“While the FBI is looking at 5G as a potential motive for Warner’s actions, no proof has yet been offered publicly to back up this theory.”
