J6 Pipe Bomber: Does This Detail In The Charging Documents Give Away His REAL Motive?

What's the first thing you think when you connect these two dots?

Nothing official has been said about the motivation behind buying the J6 Pipe Bomb materials, but one clue stands out among the charging documents.

Before Feds could proceed with arresting the suspect tied to the J6 Pipe bomb incident, they first had to present an affadavit in support of a criminal complaint. That document, now public, contains seven pages of information relevant to the case.

I’ll summarize them briefly, before highlighting the one detail the press has ignored.  [To skip the summary, continue reading where the indented section ends.]

Starting on page one, the agent involved is introduced, including credentials and time served as an agent. It names the criminal complaint being investigated, and states procedures used for the investigation.

Next, it describes the discovery of the pipe bombs, a description of the components involved, and how aspects of their construction meet the threshold criteria of being a ‘weapon’.

We are told about how law enforcement responded to the threat and what they did after the bombs were rendered harmless.  It describes the place the bombs were set, how it includes a building used for interstate commerce, and answers the question of jurisdiction.

Video surveillance of the area is described with the approximate time of the suspicious activity in question and details such as the total distance between the ground and the top of the head/headgear of the individual shown in that footage.

That all comes before page three, where the defendant is named, if you want a sense of how careful and thorough these charging documents are. Pages 3 and 4 detail the components we were looking at, how many were available for sale in the relevant time window, together with the time and place where his credit cards were used for the purchase of each component. (Interestingly, he continued purchasing components relevant making incendiary devices even AFTER the events of January 6th, with stores and dates included in the description.)

Page six describes cell phone tracking data placing him at the scene; page seven includes the licence plate reader info.

The document includes dates of his making relevant purchases at least as far back as October of 2019. That means, if he turns out to be guilty of these accusations, he would have been planning such an action for more than a year before the actual pipe bombs were discovered.

It’s one thing to buy a component or two for a project you might do one day. Quite another to take concrete action toward a goal. At some point, he made a significant pivot to the latter.

After more than eight months of relative inactivity (besides the March purchase of more galvanized caps), this charging document identifies a cluster of purchases all around the same time. See if you can spot the pattern before we speculate about the likely motive.




I’m looking at a pattern where, on June 1 of 2020, he bought himself some pipe(s). On June 3, he got 2 kitchen timers. On June 8, he got more pipe(s). On June 20,  he got his end caps. In July he got the safety glasses he’d need to assemble these things.

This looks like a man with a specific plan and a motivation to act. But why?

The clue is in the earliest of these dates. What was happening in the world in and around June 1, 2020?

Here are a few of the headlines covered right here on ClashDaily at the time:

May 28: riots in response to the death of George Floyd:

Police precinct burns on May 29…

May 30th, charges laid…

June 1 — conflicting autopsy.

Suppose you have someone who ‘happens to’ collect pipe bomb components. Now put him neck-deep in a pandemic where Trump is daily portrayed as the Devil himself. Worse, he’s somehow personally responsible for the ‘death clock’ fatality figures splashed on every news station in the country.

Next, have ‘trusted’ sources in the media together with political leaders on the left, amplified by serious-sounding claims by academics, activists, and cultural icons that men who look just like [our hypothetical components collector] are being routinely and wantonly murdered in cold blood by those whose job it is to keep the peace.

Next, stipulate that anyone who challenges these claims, or even the underlying data, is a ‘bigot’ who wants to sweep such atrocities under the rug. For the cherry on top, have every major corporation throw their support behind the official narrative.

Is any of this enough to prove a direct causal connection between the 2020 ‘Summer of Love’ and the man accused of setting those pipe bombs?

No. That’s not how evidence works.

But it IS enough to prompt some inquiry as to whether other sources — say social media posts in June of 2020, or political donations joined in the activist fervor of 2020.

If that checks out, we might have ourselves a motive.  It’s theoretically possible the person who planted those bombs wasn’t even interested in the specific Controversy about counting the votes on January 6. Maybe it was something as simple as infusing chaos into a large gathered crowd.

But that still doesn’t answer any questions about why Biden’s FBI refused to follow up on this story.
