Reasons to suspect government involvement in the
OKC bombing
They had the most to gain.
The ATF were already on the scene in bomb squad
gear - before the bombing
The ATF lied about their own heroics. They
reported free falling in an elevator
several stories. The elevator inspectors testified that the elevators
locked in place
as they were designed and did not free fall.
The destruction pattern is vehemently denied by
independent experts as having
been possible by a truck on the street.
Columns were knocked out that were further away
from the blast than weaker
columns that were closer to the blast that remained.
Seismographs indicated multiple blasts.
Seismographs of the raising proved the
multiple shocks were not the building collapse.
Reports of pulverized concrete and remaining re
bar indicate contact explosives.
Destruction of the building was done in spite
of no safety hazard before independent
investigators could inspect the columns to determine what kind of blast
toppled them.
Only like minded investigators were allowed to
investigate the destruction.
Trim, sheet rock, furring strips were in place
close to the bomb while steel and concrete
columns were decimated FURTHER away.
The rest of the building was structurally
sound, almost impossible if a street bomb cause
all the damage.
The collapsed columns and header beams fell
straight down. A blast from the street
would have sent them flying away from the blast. Contact explosives in
the columns
would cause them to fall straight down.
Calculations of blast pressure of 4800 pounds
of ammonium nitrate would produce
0.5 million pounds at 4.5 feet but only 375 pounds at A5 in the
picture below. At the
B-row it would be 27-38 pounds per square inch and at A7 only 25-35
psi. The
yield strength of concrete is about 3500 psi.
The EglinTest Structure, a reinforced concrete
3 story structure provides "concrete"
data on blast effects. The blast effects tests were conducted by the
Wright Laboratory
at Eglin Air Force. It used a blast approximately half as powerful as
the alleged OKC
truck bomb. Only the first story wall was knocked out with pressures
of 90 to 130 psi.
The bomb was 830 pounds of Tritonal (roughly 2200 pounds of ANFO) at
ground
level 25 feet away. No columns were knocked down. The columns were 14
inch.
The walls were 6 inch concrete panels.
After reviewing the Eglin Test a number of
civil engineers have also concluded that
the Murrah Building destruction was not the result of just the truck bomb.
That includes
Mike Smith of Cartersville, Georgia, commissioned to review the Eglin
study. He stated
that even if the ANFO device was constructed with racing fuel the 4800
pound device
could not have damaged the columns and beams of the building enough to
produce a
catastrophic failure.
Robert Frias of Arlingon Texas with 40 years of
engineering practice concurred that
the truck bomb could not have done the damage.
Alvin Norberg of Auburn, California with 50
years engineering experience and experience
on over 5000 construction projects also concluded that the destruction
had to be
done from mechanically coupled devices.
Kenneht Gow of Whittier, CA with 50 years
experience in aerospace also agreed
internal explosives must have been used.
The grand jury was not permitted to interview
any witnesses that testified to a John
Doe II, many suspect this was the government agent involved.
A light pole just yards from the blast was left
standing. Few believe the truck blast
could have been "that" directional. They would have to use a lot of
sand bags or
other weight to do so. That would have left less room in the truck for
explosive!
A comparable bomb in Bogota of the DAS
(Columbia Police) building in the last
picture did very little structural damage. The DAS building bomb caused
damage
for 26 blocks. Survivors described it as a "mini A-bomb". It was 1300
pounds
of dynamite which is much more powerful pound for pound than ammonium
nitrate mixture.
I recall seeing an editorial about a State
department or FBI spokesman quoting
Hitter's burning of the Reichstag speech after the bombing almost
verbatim. (Hitler
caused the burning and blamed it on his enemies.)
Bob Ricks - the FBI PR man at Waco was
appointed director of public safety in
OK after the bombing.
Larry Potts who gave the shoot to kill order at
Ruby Ridge was appointed director
of the FBI investigation in OK
James Nichol's hearing tape was blank after FOI
prosecution to obtain it.
Witnesses and helpers were frequently told to
shut up. Many were pressured
to change their stories.
Grand Jury was prohibited from questioning any
of the numerous witnesses that
claimed to have seen a John Doe 2.
Fortier originally denied believing McVeigh had
any thing to do with the bombing
until the FBI raided his home.
FBI crime lab implicated with much falsifying
of evidence.
Witnesses admitted they were pressured by the
FBI to implicate McVeigh.
Over 100 documents have been sealed by court
order.
McVeigh defense was not allowed to explore the
possibility that other people
that may have been involved. This would prevent any defense that McVeigh
was set up. ...When was the last time your license plate fell off? How
could he
hope to have any defense except a frame up given that he had
considered the
very act he was convicted of?
The aerial photo of a secretly loaded Rider
truck the week before the bombing at an army base nearby together
with other reports of 2 trucks involved. Furthermore at this site
there were drums and mixers that look like the necessary equipment
to make a fertilizer bomb. This photo is disputed as to the date
and location. The pilot who took the picture has not come forward
to affirm it's authenticity. This is a popular internet
controversy.
At the trial there was only a tiny embedded
fragment of possible fertilizer remains
(ammonium nitrate) introduced as evidence that it was a fertilizer
bomb yet the
FBI "knew" it was a fertilizer bomb within 24 hours. Other experts say
it is nearly
impossible to have such total elimination of fertilizer.
McVeigh's selling merchandise in a newspaper
months earlier under a fake name
was almost immediately disclosed by the Washington Post from ADL sources.
How was this possible if McVeigh was not already the target of
investigation? It
was alleged that he used income from this to finance the bombing. The
Post story
reported the ads to run Aug 9, 1993 but the newspaper reported that it was
actually
run Aug 16, 1993. Thus the ADL was privy to knowing McVeigh's
INTENTIONS
to run the ad and not from actually following the placement of the ad.
Thus the ADL
had a contact in McVeigh's inner circle of friends. The magazine (Spotlight)
had a
number of events indicating an attempt to implicate them in the OKC
bombing. The
phone card used by McVeigh was from Spotlight. Someone called and
complained
that the card (Daryl Bridges) didn't work. Staff at Spotlight used the
number to verify
that it did work. (Thus creating a "link" to Spotlight) Two days
before the bombing a
letter from OKC including a "Black Sunday" Depression postcard of
Oklahoma in
1935 and a copy of a Spotlight article 12 years old about Gordon Kahl
( a patriot
gunned down by the Feds after he killed FBI agents shooting at his
son). Spotlight's
attorney Mark Lane turned over the information to the FBI and now the
FBI claims
to have lost it.
The 155 page brief filed by Stephen Jones is
very specific about government involvement.
The judge of course did not allow any argument indicating accomplices
or agent provoceturs.
CNN reported in June of 1995 that McVeigh was
under surveillance 2 years earlier
at an Arizona gun show as expressing violent attitudes toward the BATF
and FBI.
The Washington Post reported June 3, 1995 that
one of McVeigh's associates first
tipped the FBI might have been involved in the bombing contradicting
the claim that
an eagle-eyed police officer spotted McVeigh;s resemblance to the
bombing suspect.
How did the truck axle that identified the
truck not get blasted into the crater but
instead bounced a couple blocks away and stayed in good shape. It had
to be put
back in its spot to be photographed. Controversy has arisen that the
original axle the
government evidenced was a light truck axle and later replaced with a
heavier one.
Cary Gagan was recruited by the FBI as an
informant. He reported to the FBI he had
been asked to drive a truck transporting a detonator to the abandoned
Stapleton
Airport to blow up a federal building. He claims to have been attacked
and told to
shut up. He has filed suit in Denver - case 97 S 308.
A member of the OKC Fire Department stated that
he was called about a week before
the bombing and told to be in a state of extra "readiness" because of
a bomb threat
to the federal building.
Miss Carol Howe, on the BATF payroll for $120
per week also told BATF in Tulsa
that a terrorist was planning to blow up the Federal Building on April 19.
She also
named Andreas Strassmeir as one who was connected to the conspiracy.
(Many
believe Strassmeir was a government agent.) Former Tulsa beauty queen
Howe
is now charged with conspiring to make a bomb threat and possession of
a destructive
device.
Two key witnesses have mysteriously died.
Yeakey, OKC police officer cited for
extraordinary bravery after the OKC bombing became disillusioned about
the police
force, writing in a letter that they falsified information and covered
up what was happening.
Yeakey's ex-wife said that about 2 weeks before his death he would
show up 2
or 4 in the morning and talk about getting remarried and getting an
insurance policy
so she and the kids would be taken care of. She knew his death was not
suicide -
the official report. He would have known that insurance doesn't pay
for suicide
until after a few years. The other death was a Dr. Chumley who refused
to falsify
reports concerning injuries that BATF agents suffered when the building
was bombed.
He died Sept 24, 1995 when his plane suddenly plunged into a field.
Johnnie Cochran has been retained by more than
300 relatives of the victims in
OKC. They are also alleging a botched sting operation. The Sunday
Times of
London reported that the BATF was about to arrest a group of
"neo-Nazis" who
were said to be plotting to blow up federal buildings in Oklahoma.
A dynamite wrapper and nitroglycerin were found
at the bomb site. Dynamite contains
ammonium nitrate.
An Inspector General of the Justice Department
report concluded that the fertilizer
hypothesis was not based on forensic evidence from the crime scene but
was conjured
out of thin air after ammonium nitrate fertilizer was found at the
home of Terry Nichols.
The government apparently "botched" handling
Tim McVeighs property when he was
picked up by the FBI. An undeveloped roll of film was missing. The
jail employee
said it was picked up by someone else. Did it contain photo's of John
Doe #2?
Government agents? (This was revealed in trial testimony by Deborah
Thompson
of the Nobel County Jail.)
Detectives were ordered not to look for finger
prints in Nichol's home. Why?
Would they find someone they wanted to protect?
The trial also revealed many oddities.
McVeigh's fingerprints were not on anything
in Elliot's body shop where the truck was rented. Not on the contract.
Not on the
storage locker where the explosives were kept. Not on the ammunition
cans. Not
in the Dreamland Motel. The only thing they were on was the receipt for
the fertilizer -
which he was not involved in the transaction!
If McVeigh/Nichols had cased the Federal
building, why did they have to stop to
ask directions? If a bomber was going to ask directions wouldn't they
ask for the
location of a nearby building instead?
Why would McVeigh use his own name and give the
Nichols as a reference if he
were en route to a bombing?
Why would Elohim City not be a target for
identifying co-conspirators since:
Elohim City housed gangsters calling
themselves Aryan Republican Army
Make videos of themselves boasting nuclear,
chemical and biological warfare
capabilities
McVeigh calling a German ex-soldier running
the enclave's security who's
expertise is explosives
The gangsters were wanted for a 2 year spree
of 22 bank robberies. A grand
jury handed down indictments Jan 30, 1997.
A convicted murderer Richard Snell venerated
as a martyr was scheduled to
die on the day of the bombing and repeatedly predicted a bombing or
explosion
the day he died.
The same murderer was involved in a plot to
attack the Murrah Building 12
years earlier
An ATF informant in their camp informed the
ATF that the security director
/explosives expert announced it was time to go to war and blow up
federal
buildings
The same informant (Carol Howe) tells the FBI
and ATF that McVeigh and
John Doe #2 at the compound. Carol had a falling out with Mahon of
Elohim
City. When they broke up he threatened her and she reported it to
the police.
The ATF found out and she began to work as an informer for the ATF.
When
McVeigh's defense asked for her informant records, the ATF said they
didn't
exist. When it was evidenced that the records did exist, Judge
Matsch angrily
ordered the records be delivered to the defense and threatened the
prosecutors
with removal from the case if they lied to him one more time.
Seem's to defy understanding that the FBI did
not investigate anyone at the compound.
The AP (Paul Query) quoted an unnamed official in Washington as saying
the "Elohim
City is not a current subject of interest." Yet the ATF and FBI has
gone on a rampage
post OKC raiding gun dealers, militia groups and others and many of
their cases fell
apart in court. Hmm.
The Washington Post acknowledged May 10, 1997
how selective the prosecution
was in only calling witnesses who would identify McVeigh. They did not
call the person
who delivered the Chinese food (although they called the owner to
testify that "Kling"
ordered the food) because the delivery man said the person taking the
food was NOT
McVeigh!
Was Iraqi Toval - who was deported 10 days
after the bombing "under escort and
airtight security" and reported by witnesses to have been in McVeigh's
company prior
to the bombing - the real John Doe #1? Was McVeigh mistakenly
identified considering
quite a number of witnesses were pressured by the FBI to identify
McVeigh?
According to testimony, the residue found on
McVeigh's clothing, earplugs, but not
shoes or carpet can be from gunpowder. McVeigh did target practice
shooting.
Dr. Whitehurst, supervisory special agent and
bombing specialist in the FBI's forensics
lab in Washington charged that some of his colleagues have been
falsifying evidence
for years. He seems to have made remarks regarding the McVeigh residue
tests.
The "officially authorized" book In Their
Name erroneously depicts the location of
the bomb crater in an attempt to explain away Gen. Partin's analysis
showing that
there had to be other explosives. Column B3 collapsed but the truck
was parked
between A4 and A5. B4 would have received 40% of the blast pressure
but did
not come down
In Martin Keiting's (brother of OK governor
Frank, former FBI agent and assistant
secretary of Treasury who supervised the Secret Service, U.S. Customs
and BATF;
Uncle Barney headed the Navy's foreign intelligence collection unit;
Martin has
numerous intelligence contacts) book The Final Jihad completed
in 1991 but
released in 1996 conveyed some remarkable coincidences. The terrorist
network
was in Oklahoma. A key figure was Tom McVey. The terrorists were
arrested
on a minor traffic violation by an unsuspecting highway patrolman.
However,
the villains in the book were KGB, North Korean and East German hard
liners
who's plans are carried out by Middle Eastern fanatics.
The government's position of a single blast is
based on FaAA's (Failure Analysis
Associates of Menlo Park, CA) analysis which explains how a vacuum
behind the
blast shock wave causes debris to be scattered outside the building
instead of into
the building. The July 1997 issue of Popular Mechanics has an article
on this. They
fail to mention any of the substantial reasons so many experts are
willing to testify
that a single bomb could not have caused all the damage.
The Strassmeir connection has a number of
bizarre twists. When his station wagon
was impounded by Oklahoma Highway patrol there were papers that
appeared to
be classified detailing negotiations by Strassmeir on behalf of
Petruskie Associates
of Manassas, Virginia to buy Boeing 747's from Lufthansa Airlines.
This doesn't fit
the impoverished log cabin setting of Elohim City - negotiating
multimillion dollar
deals. It was released by someone claiming to be from the State
Department when
they told the police Strassmeir had diplomatic immunity. He was the
same head of
security at Elohim City that led the cry for bombings to begin.
Vincent Petruskie
(Strassmeir's Lufthansa partner) was described by Strassmeir as a
former CIA guy
who my father had known. Petruskie told The New American magazine that
Andi
wanted to work for the U.S. government - DEA, Justice - undercover. He
thought
his background with military and German government would help.
Strassmeir fled
to Germany through Mexico just as the U.S. government decided they
"wanted"
to talk with him. Which they finally did by phone.
British journalist Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
reported additional evidence that
Strassmeir gave additional testimony he was a U.S. undercover operative
and
there was an inside informant. In the Sunday Telegraph (Britains largest
daily paper)
Evans-Pritchard asked Strassmeir if the informant would ever speak
out. Andi replied
"How can he? What happens if it was a sting
operation from the very
beginning? What happens if it comes out that the plant was a
provocateur?
What then? The relatives of the victims are going to go crazy, and
he's going
to be held responsible for the murder of 168 people? Of course the
informant
can't come forward. He's scared stiff right now."
Arlin Adams and other members of militia groups
put together the "Unwanted"
poster below and militia groups in Philadelphia began posted them in
Brescia's
neighborhood. He was shortly thereafter arrested and charged in the
ARA bank
robbery spree. Brescia had played in a skinhead rock band at Elohim
City,
disappeared for several months after Strassmeir returned to Germany.
He
surfaced at his parent's home in Philadelphia. He was arrested January
30,
1997. The fed's still have no interest in him as to possible
connections to the OKC bombing.

Summary
Why didn't McVeigh's defense get to use the
"conspiracy card". Why did the judge
disallow any defense premise of McVeigh being framed? Why couldn't even
the grand
jury interview any witnesses that identified a John Doe #2? Sounds like
the "show" trials
in any other communist country! The people just want a conviction, not the
truth!
Richard Matsch allowed victim testimony - which had nothing to do with
proving who
committed the crime - on the pretense that there had to be proof that a
crime had been
committed. So we can conclude that the judge has a low opinion of the
Jury's intelligence.
Matsch is reportedly a very pro-government judge - He does what the
prosecution wants.
It seems McVeigh was involved, and if so, is
guilty of murder. But what also seems
glaringly obvious, is that the government was aware, as in the World
Trade Center
bombing, and has acted guilty of a cover up. If so, they are guilty of
murder as well.
