O Nashville bomber sent packages containing texts and videos promoting conspiracy theories to several people just days before the explosion, confirms CBS News. Authorities identified Anthony Warner as the suspect in the Christmas attack and say he killed himself in the explosion.
Federal police confirmed that the packages were stamped on December 23, just two days before the bombing, and had no return address. It was not clear how many packages Warner sent.
The packages contained at least nine typed pages of writing and two thumb drives loaded with videos. At least one of the packages contained a letter that started with “Hey, man, you will never believe what I found in the park.”
“The knowledge I have acquired is immeasurable,” continues the letter. “Now I understand everything, and I mean everything, from who / what we really are, to what the known universe really is.”
The letter urged the recipient to watch the videos that Warner included on flash drives. The letter was signed as “Julio”, a name Warner used to use when signing e-mails, according to his friends. CBS affiliate WTVF-TV reports that a source said Warner also had a dog named Julio. Canine remains were found in the sight of the explosion, and it is believed that Warner may have taken a dog with him when he killed himself.

Warner wrote about 9/11 and the moon landing, saying at one point, “The moon landing and 9/11 have so many anomalies that it’s hard to count.” Warner also wrote that the aliens have been attacking Earth since September 2011 and that the media is covering up the attacks.
Warner’s writings also discuss the conspiracy theory that the Earth is controlled by a breed of reptilian lizards.
“They put a switch on the human brain so they could walk between us and look like humans,” wrote Warner.
In a statement, the FBI said: “We are aware that the suspect sent materials that defended his views to several acquaintances across the country” and asked anyone who received a package to contact them.
