They sure were able to track down everything about his life pretty quickly, almost as if they already knew him.
He was using credit cards at least for the ABNB, I'm sure he used one for gas to get to NOLA. I also heard the FBI say he was in Gonzales earlier in the day on NYE. I'm sure they had him pinged with his cards every step of the way close to the attack. It's not difficult to imagine that being FBI 101 stuff.
As for other things they learned about him quickly, he wasn't very smart. I'm sure he didn't do a very good job of covering his tracks. Sometimes it just so happens to be that criminals are retarded.
All that said, I still think someone somewhere helped him along the line. Somebody had prior knowledge of this attack other than Jabbar.

As for Intelligence Agencies (like the FBI) cultivating assets, convincing them to take action, and providing them with explosive devices that are 99% functional, it happens frequently.
It’s not a “conspiracy theory”, it’s factual.
For terrorist attacks? Give me an example.

It was probably as simple as finding his wallet in the truck and going from there.
I completely understand not trusting the government nowadays. They rigged the 2020 election and botched the Trump assassination. So I get why everyone has so many doubts.
But actual terrorist attacks taking dozens of lives is not in the political gain handbook.
Almost every piece of evidence that the FBI has released could have been figured out and posted on X by the American people.

Exactly. The FBI is known for selling faux explosives to suspected terrorists and other tactics like that to see if they'd try to go through with it so they can nail them with charges but they'd never give or sell a suspected terrorist a functional explosive. I don't see how that's a winning strategy, even for the corrupt FBI.

Right. If the FBI gave Jabbar explosives they would obviously be watching his every move and would not have left Rsalt sitting on bourbon for over an hour.

So do you think his month long trip, alone, to Egypt was just a coincidence? Of course you could very well be 100% spot on but the eyeball test says there are some questionable things surrounding this case.
No I think it’s connected. I don’t think he just wanted to see pyramids.
Counter volley:
Did he have a pre-arranged meet up or did he hope that he could find support by getting in the area and organically meeting people? Did he want to somehow cleanse himself before the personal sacrifice?
I wouldn’t bet my house on either narrative. The guys not a great planner so assigning common sense and successful narratives to him is not a slam dunk approach.
He dropped out of college, messed up the navy, was arrested, had 3 failed marriages, multiple failed businesses, couldn’t burn a shotgun house down with gasoline, put the wrong type of detonator on his bomb…
I would not be shocked if he jumped on the plane hoping to find people to embrace him when he got there and failed at that. I would not be shocked if his radicalization amounted to a mosque that was vocally anti-western culture and some online content and not even that directly social. More like a school shooter than expert terrorist,
To your point though I likewise would not be shocked if someone did notice the opportunity of a lost cause and “took him under their wing.”

accept the FBI's claim that he had no help

they are clearly just referring to the actual attack when they say he acted alone.
Yes. TDsngumbo - I think you are getting hung up on this statement. I do believe he was "helped" by learning how to make certain things and all that. FBI meant it in that way.
It seems that they sent him back to America with a pat on his back and said "Good luck, loser." I also agree with post above stating he was radicalized by the internet and kinda pieced together something like a school shooter. That would not surprise me.

Why cover tracks for a suicide mission? No point.

He was raised catholic despite being Muslim.
I think when his personal life turned to shite he turned to the Islamic church for the first time.
Thats where it all started. Guaranteed.
He started listening to the Quran and took “the righteous will be rewarded” as negative gospel.
He said himself in the videos that the sinners criminals etc were his motive.

And Baytown, TX en route to LA. It’s not entirely out of the way but he would’ve had no logical reason to stop there as it is south of where he was headed.

Baytown is on I-10 bro have you ever even been to Houston?

Looks like this son of a bitch also researched Bourbon St balcony access and Mardi Gras as well. He was determined to attack Bourbon Street no matter what. He even researched looked into the type of vehicle used in the German Christmas Market attack that happened 10 days before.

WAFB article from this morning
quote:
NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - The FBI released new information on its investigation into the Bourbon Street terror attack Tuesday (Jan. 14) morning.
The FBI now says a total of 57 people were physically hurt in the attack, bringing the total of identified victims to 136.
The FBI also now says the terrorist, Shamsud Di Jabbar, became a more devout Muslim in 2022.
quote:
They say around that time he started isolating himself from society.
Agents say Jabbar came to New Orleans from Houston on a train on November 10. He later returned to Houston on a bus that evening.
The FBI says he looked for an apartment to rent on Orleans Street while in town. Days after his trip, he applied to rent the apartment and told the landlord he changed his mind.
The FBI also looked into Jabbar’s internet search history and found he was looking into Bourbon Street balcony access, information on Mardi Gras, and shootings that happened in the city as late as mid-November.
I don't understand the math they quote regarding the total number of victims because we heard since the beginning that there were 35 or so injured with 14 dead. Now they're saying 57 injured with a total of 136 victims. I'm missing something or they got that reporting wrong.
Also, I swear the article mentioned he was researching the Christmas market attack when I originally posted that. Now that has been removed from the article.

It's in the article "Hours before the attack, the FBI says Jabbar looked into the type of vehicle used in the German Christmas Market attack that happened 10 days before"

ype of vehicle used in the German Christmas Market
SO I have the same truck as a company truck (hate the damned thing by the way). It is INCREDIBLY quick. At 75 MPH you can punch it and it will pin your head to the head rest. From a dead start to about 45 mph in a straight line in about the length of itself. When you hit go it fricking goes....and is impossible to turn the tires over in my experience....it simply goes like a rocket. There is a video of it turning right onto Bourbon.....from a dead stop to zooming in a 90 degree turn in about 1/100th of a second and apparently did not turn the tires over. It was the perfect choice for what he wanted to accomplish. It is also virtually silent. Other than the sound of the tires on the pavement moving (not spinning, it will not "lay drag", it just fricking goes) it is completely silent. When I saw the truck for the first time I recognized the Lightning logo immediately and thought "damned thing is incredibly quick".

Foreign connection CONFIRMED - Iraq officials arrest ISIS member who helped plan this attack
quote:
NEW ORLEANS — Iraq's Supreme Judicial Council announced that it has arrested a suspected ISIS member for his alleged connection to the New Year's Day attack on Bourbon Street that left 14 dead.
Iraq's National Center for International Judicial Cooperation said in a report that it arrested the suspected terrorist after the United States requested assistance in the investigation of the attack.
According to the report, the suspected terrorist is accused of inciting the attack that also left dozens injured after Shamsud-Din Jabbar plowed a rented pickup truck through a crowd early Jan. 1.
Jabbar, who FBI investigators said was a U.S. Army Signal Sergeant who was radicalized by ISIS, also died in the attack.
The unnamed suspect arrested by Iraqi officials will be prosecuted under the nation's anti-terrorism laws, the report added.

Now that we have proof a foreign terrorist organization helped plan and carry out the second-deadliest foreign terrorist attack on US soil in American history (second only to 9/11), this should be the biggest story of the year. Every journalist in Washington DC should be hammering the White House for more information, there should be an address to the nation to update Americans, and Americans everywhere should be demanding more answers but instead, we'll continue to scroll tiktok and bitch about invaders being arrested and deported.
We are living in weird times.
Also, remember the super rare explosive that was found in the ice chest bombs and how people just looked the other way, claiming that didn't mean this a-hole had help?

But the media and FBI said he was a lone wolf with absolutely no ties to any muslims. I am shocked.

The new sheriff doesn't give a frick about political correctness or what keeps the woke crowd happy. Facts are facts as of 19 days after this attack.
