THREAD: I have discovered something online that *could* be relevant to the Nashville explosion, but I want to be extremely clear that I don't know what - if anything - to infer from it.

I'm hoping appropriate experts and authorities can take a look.

A video on Youtube has gone viral showing the scene of the explosion.

The account that posted it is called "S McG" and has no bio or info, and has never posted until today since joining in 2014.

Vid:
Channel: youtube.com/channel/UCNzhd…

The account that posted the clip to Twitter only joined this month and has also never posted before today.

The video turns black and white following the explosion in both uploads.

The next tweet is the curious part.

"S McG" who posted the bombing video has an almost identical username to "S Mc G" - who only joined Youtube in April 2020 and also has no bio.

The five videos posted on it, posted over the course of three weeks, are all very bizarre.

youtube.com/channel/UCqVb5…

This video is posted twice by "S Mc G" on their Youtube.

It montages COVID-19 announcements and reports over music, and then turns to black and white images of destruction, before a clip I don't know how to describe.

and

Their previous post was October 1st, where the video is a static image of the term "Apocalypse" searched on "DuckDuckGo" with Hans Zimmer's "Dream Is Collapsing" track from Inception in the background.

Their only other two uploads appear to be screencapped videos of President Trump with the Kanye West song "Black Skinhead" over it.

The videos are identical other than that one has twenty seconds of other music afterwards.

and

I want to be very clear: I have no idea who "S McG" is or whether they're the same person as "S Mc G", and even if so, whether that person was involved in this incident.

My reason for posting this is that the "S Mc G" account has virtually zero views, so I suspect that nobody has looked into this yet, and I do hope relevant authorities find and take a look at this.

Ok, on the advice of several other journalists as well as my own family with whom I'm celebrating Christmas right now, I've sent this information to the FBI.

We're cooking Christmas dinner right now and it is not my intention to be glued to Twitter this evening.

A couple small followups and a general note on my thread yesterday: Firstly, a lot of people have been sending me tips.

I'm not law enforcement. I basically came across something I think they should look at.

If you really think you have something, contact the FBI, not me.

Regarding the "S McG" who posted the video: They have now written some comments on Youtube indicating that they received the video "at least 3rd hand" and that neither the other Youtube channel nor the Twitter account that posted the video around the same time belong to them.

"S McG" also liked one comment reading "Well it did warn people to evacuate, what a nice gesture"

The Twitter account and the "S Mc G" Youtube have not done anything new since the post yesterday and videos two months ago respectively.

I want to bookend this with how I started: I don't know if what I found matters.

It is very well possible that, as "S McG" has now stated, they simply received this footage third hand and didn't realize they were the first to put it online.

If you seriously have something you believe you've learned on this attack, here's the link to send information to the FBI, which you can also call.

Yesterday I did both and spent about 15 minutes filing a report by phone.

I have obtained exclusive new video of the December 22nd arrest of Eric Braden, who participated in a maskless protest at the North Star Mall in San Antonio Texas against pandemic restrictions.

”I’m a disabled veteran of the United States Army," Braden could be heard shouting.

Additional footage shows that at least 50 participants marched into the mall to participate.

While they all were in violation of the mask requirement, only Eric Braden - who is also a frequent participant in militia activity across southern states - was arrested.

The rest left.

"Braden was arrested and charged with criminal trespass-private property. SAPD says he was taken to University Hospital by EMS 'with complaints of a pre-existing back injury.'"

Here we have a perfect example for people to watch the proliferation of fake news in real time.

Not only does this individual have no source or ostensible access to Trump, but Kyle Rittenhouse is charged in state court, not federal, where Trump does not have pardon power.

https://twitter.com/volinxx/status/1341739724726284290

At most theoretically, Trump could try to offer some sort of preemptive federal pardon to Rittenhouse to prevent Biden’s DOJ from charging him with a federal crime, but that’s on the margins of legality and clearly this random person on Twitter would not be privy to that info.

For the record, the individual who tweeted “BREAKING: Donald Trump plans on granting a full pardon to the Kenosha killer Kyle Rittenhouse.” now says it was a “joke.”

Very important section I just found reading the 5000+ page government spending bill:

On page 2487 is a repeal of Section 711 of USC Title 18, which provided six months in jail for misuse of the "Smokey Bear" character or name.

Technically, you could go to jail for six months right now for - for example - advertising pipe tobacco with Smokey the Bear on it smoking from a pipe.

When this spending bill comes into place, letting Smokey smoke will be effectively legalized.

This is a real product on Amazon, but not available in the United States.

When the new government spending bill passes, you won't risk going to jail for 6 months for printing it anymore.

Toward the beginning of the Omnibus spending bill at page 415 and 416 is a quarter billion dollars for "enhanced border security" for the nations of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman.

Not less than $150,000,000 of it shall be for Jordan though.

If you skip about about 1000 pages from the Jordanian border security funding section of the US government budget, you'll find that "not less than" $1.65 billon is for Jordan's government overall, but they're required to use $425,000,000 of the American dollars for military.

In total, page 1310 of the new US budget explains that a bit over $6 billion in taxpayer money will be for financing foreign militaries, but by law, at least $3.3 billion of that will have to be for Israel.

Trump supporters continued to rally Saturday in Phoenix, AZ, despite the electoral college formally voting for Joe Biden.

The "Stop the Steal" supporters continue alleging fraud and hope to challenge the results ahead of the January 6th congressional vote to certify the results.

"Imagine this, that you get to go back home, once we conquer the hill. Donald Trump is returned to being the president," said AZ Congressman @DrPaulGosar. "Amazing things will happen in four more years."

"Four more years!" the crowd in Phoenix chanted. "Stop the steal!"

Rep. @DrPaulGosar says he has friends in CIA and forensic auditing of banking industry, who tell him "it is easy to see contamination," of the election.

"They don't wanna open up and talk about it."

@RepGosar's uncut speech, filmed by Sean Campbell:

THREAD: On Saturday, militia activists marched to the GA State Capitol where they joined forces with Trump supporters holding a "Stop the Steal" rally.

The militia groups included Chris Hill's GA-based "III% Security Force" and Eric Braden's TX-based "Southern Patriot Council."

The militia groups rallying outside the GA Capitol were confronted by Atlanta Antifa, who led with a shield wall and were armed with semi-auto rifles and at least one shotgun behind it.

Police kept the sides separate.

"Go home to fucking your cousin!" one yelled.

Antifa raised their fists and chanted "fists up, fight back!"

Three women on the right-wing side got on their knees and prayed. "Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil."
