The FBI Washington Field Office announced that it was increasing its reward for information regarding the Capitol Hill pipe bomber days before the second anniversary of Jan. 6.

Two pipe bombs were found at the Republican and Democratic National Committees leading the FBI to conduct an investigation and offer an initial reward of $100,000. The FBI announced the new reward of $500,000 Wednesday on its official Twitter account with pictures of the suspect and the bombs.

“With the significantly increased reward, we urge those who may have previously hesitated to contact us – or who may have not realized they had important information – to review the information on our website and come forward with anything relevant,” the post stated.

Another post showed the suspect in a gray hoodie, a mask, and gloves carrying what appeared to be a bag with the bombs. The two bombs found at the scene were also shown in the post along with a pair of tennis shoes that the suspect looked to be wearing.

Addressing the upcoming second anniversary of Jan. 6, the FBI confirmed it had arrested 950 individuals allegedly involved in the assault on the Capitol, according to a statement from the field office on Twitter. Nearly 200 individuals were arrested for allegedly assaulting police officers.

The post stated that the FBI would continue its investigation and will bring the “remaining offenders to justice.”

The FBI did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The “Climate Change Cult.” The “Anti-Racism Cult.” The “Cult of Wokeness.” The “LGBTQ Cult” and its predatory offspring targeting America’s children, the “Transgender Cult.” The “Cult of Abortion.” The “COVID Cult.” The “Cult of Globalism.” “TikTok Cults.” Every month the list grows.

To right-thinking Americans attempting to make sense of a nation seemingly gone mad, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the irrational, deranged – and often demonic – leftwing political and cultural movements currently capturing the minds of millions of Americans are nothing short of full-fledged cults.

Although the high priesthood of all these leftwing religious cults – i.e., university professors, academics and other Marxist ideologues and activists – may be true believers, the people actually wielding REAL POWER do not believe any of it. To them, these leftwing cults conveniently serve to disguise and distract “the rabble” from what the leader class is REALLY up to, which is the pursuit of ever more power, wealth and glory for themselves, and a total transformation of America and the world.

All of this and much more is explored in a powerful, insightful and absolutely unique way in the latest issue of WND’s acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “HOLY WAR: Defeating the growing cult of leftism and its total war on Christianity.”
