Millennial journalists quickly reported it was just some stored explosives.

It’s fine.

I don't see how this is from stored fertilizer. There was a fertilizer factory in Texas that went up in flames a few years ago and it was nothing like this.

Fireworks ignited, detonated, and that detonated some type of nitrate fertilizer. They said sodium nitrate but that is impossible as that does not explode by itself, so must be ammonium nitrate. So likely not a terrorist act, but then again this happened in an Armenian district...and Turks seem to be very active lately
See this for similar case in Texas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_City_disaster

There was a ship that was confiscated full of nitrate a few years ago and stored at docks. There were warnings this could happen.


Russian ship. It was a scheme to deliver explosives to Hezbollah.

Helluva way to spread fertilizer.

It was a storage location for hydroxychloroquine.

Fauci's fingerprints are all over this.

I thought that was a hotel right near the explosion, now I see it's a grain elevator. No wonder 80% of their grain stores were reported destroyed. It was amazing the way the shock wave and water/debris overtopped this structure in the videos.

When Lebanese get triggered, they don't fool around.

I think that a couple of highjacked planes flew into it and then evaporated.

Heads are going to roll over this, there were so many warning about it for years.

There is evidence Hezbollah has stockpiled stuff like this elsewhere. Just search for:

They come with the "refugees", package deal.

Yeah it was burning before, wasn't it? Doesn't look like an attack to me but who knows. That's a crazy explosion.


Yes, clearly burning, with flashes in the smoke, but maybe that was all part of the attempt to set off the big explosion. It's possible, though it does seem unlikely without more info.

I heard they found a MAGA cap at the bombsite.

I heard a rumor it may have been Mossad. Just to get rid of it.
