The FBI reviewed surveillance video showing people standing near an improvised explosive device that Jabbar placed in a cooler along the city’s Bourbon St. Following the review, authorities “do not believe these people are involved in any way,”.
Oklahoma City, the Boston Marathon, Atlanta Olympics, the Unibomber, mail drop boxes welded to allow only letters, warnings everywhere to report unattended bags and packages, working dogs at every big game or concert... at least I want to be drunk when one gets me...
Senator John Kennedy promises we will all hear the full truth from the Federal government when the investigation is complete or he will raise some kind of holy-moly-roly-poly hell. Apparently he hopes the investigation will be done before the inauguration so he doesn’t have to go bat shit crazy.
I don’t see it being much different than the typical press
conference soon after some big thing happens - they talk for an hour when they only have 5 minutes of info to share.
Except for Senator Smirk who tried to sound tough without criticizing the baseless nonsense that has already come from
Not a bad idea to always follow the money, actually. Crypto is becoming the currency of choice for funding these types of attacks, because it is in fact much harder to trace.
Not technically harder to trace. But following crypto is just the first step. Tracing involves back to true sources, that may be through multiple parties. Crypto is fast & convenient making many transfers quick & easy. So tracking often involves more layers. Old techniques exploiting fast technology
A good source to follow for authoritative info is: @markpitcavage.bsky.social
He has not posted yet. He is a researcher, and it straight and truthful. If he has insights or info he'll post them. If not, he'll say so.
It's easier to do forensics on it due to being logged on a blockchain. You just need to find out who owns the wallet addresses after. Cash is less traceable.
That's very, very interesting. Thanks for explaining. I assume FBI can do this, but NOPD or SO could not. I hope 2025 isn't a redo of the Bush (W) years. (OK. I'll stop. That's enough handwringing on my part.)
And how many state & local LE agencies have this ability or even know of it? One of my concerns is the state of LE training overall in this country. There is some overlap as well as huge differences between military v. local LE training in these terrorism-related issues. But this non-techie thnx you
Under normal circumstances I would simply say that the FBI has been staffed with top-tier investigators that have access to cutting edge technology and are well on top of the situation, but that hasn't been the case for slightly longer than crypto's existence, and that's probably no coincidence.
Again assuming any money was given for that. Religion and political motives might have been all that was needed.
The extra help might have just been in how to build the IEDs or plan the attack not necessarily financially.
Does the special agent in charge know how this terrorist(s) got into this country and how long they’ve been here? And will they inform us, the public??????
Is anyone in charge because judging by this press conference that's currently underway it appears like a giant clown show. People of New Orleans and Louisiana deserve better than this.
I think they should cancel Super Bowl a little longer than by just one day if this is true. Seems like quite a risk to take in same city that experienced last nights terror event.
There were also arrests and damages all over Germany that left 5 people dead.
I'm sure the AfD's biggest supporter, Apartheid Clyde, wouldn't finance or be behind any of it.
Unfortunately for Berlin this is pretty normal lately (started Silvester 22/23). You were insinuating that this attacks were coordinated and financed which you can be pretty sure they were not.
This guy is a practical unknown until the recent attacks...hope there's a connection and wouldn't put it past him to supply bombs to people like those two in NOLA and in LV.
Is this how they are going to tie to his country of origin? That is how we start more wars. American terrorists will rise within. It did in Jan 6 and will continue... all due to HATRED of OTHERS.
Would it be an amazing surprise if he was paid to do this? I mean the timing is spectacular, new year's day? Musk was giving a million dollars to people to vote for Trump.
He could still be an Islamic terrorist. The majority of our terrorists are home grown… and most are right wing. ISIL is usually considered right wing too.
There were several men and a woman who were planting explosives in the area (I presume there were surveillance cameras). These people haven’t been identified or caught.
These people are lapping up the lies because it helps their minds fuel the hatred they already have. Once it reaches a critical point, their narrow minds explodes (not literally) and they react by using violence fueled by the hatred.
Wray tried to warn. Phuckwad Kennedy with his tough talk should have taken heed instead of trying to use his position to make dems look bad and glorify himself!
71% of crimes convicted is this stat?
I know white people get away with warnings WAY more often than other ethnicity… so the real stats would be a big P.R. problem if they leaked, right?
Nobody's ever "solely responsible"--they get radicalized.
That doesn't necessarily mean that anyone is directly involved in this incident, which is at its heart a low-casualty public attack and suicide-by-cop.
I’m not sure who he is but I watched the clip and felt like he was trying to shade the federal government. I was ready for him to somehow praise president elect Musk and VP elect Trump
Not sure what "registered as a Democrat" means here since Texas doesn't register party affiliation. You can only vote in one primary per election but you can choose which one to vote in each election. Switch each time if you like.
First time had news on since election night when he started to speak i flipped my channel
His accent is fake he’s fake listen to him years ago he’s Harvard educated
And then trying to answer a question about the FBI like she wasn’t there. He looked like a buffoon. He couldn’t stand it that there were so many women who were in charge.
I have it on good authority from an anonymous source that this is all Musk's doing. He's off his chain, even blowing up one of his Tonka junks in front of his vice president's building. He seems pissed.
Has Trump brought the Holy War to America? Has the GOP proven to the Islamic world that America is the Great Satan? Will this be the moment Shia and Sunni agree that the enemy of my enemy is my friend? They year 2025 will be a turning point for the world, or so I have a feeling it will be.
Sen Kennedy with that very effeminate voice of his, is waiting for Kash Patel @FBI so no further truth can come out... Kash will say whatever needs to be said for da fuhrer and the minions

And where did he get that shirt, what’s in all the pockets, why can’t he uncross his arms, and what’s in that red party cup?

Look he has a double red party cup.
And has Trudy from Chicago PD transferred to New Orleans? (Apologies to Amy Morton who does a great job as Chicago Trudy.)
He has not posted yet. He is a researcher, and it straight and truthful. If he has insights or info he'll post them. If not, he'll say so.
In fact, a blockchain is literally a database of every transaction it has ever been used for.
The only thing that makes it difficult is that all the names are replaced with really big numbers.

What would the other people have done to facilitate this disaster?
What could possibly be going through those people's minds to think death and destruction of innocent people!
What drives people to do this!
To think this is somehow "ok"!
Madness.
OMG 😱
Released last night by treasury dept following major hack: 2024 had attempted election interference *at minimum*
