Many important issues are handled very superficially by television news
shows. If you're looking for details on important stories, you'll
find that today's TV news is "all sizzle and no
steak." That's because it's safer and easier and less expensive
for TV news editors to tell you only the federal or state government's side
of each story. (This is especially true if the government is in
possession of almost all the physical evidence.) It would take a lot
of effort and expense to put conflicting viewpoints on television.
After all, a documentary is a lot of work. That's especially true
with a controversial topic like the Oklahoma City bombing.
The official explanation of the Oklahoma City bombing,
dispensed with no questions asked by the national news media, just doesn't
add up.
And there are a number of sidebar issues in this story that are just a
little too suspicious. For example, the remains of the half-destroyed
Federal building were demolished just a few weeks after the
explosion. What was the rush? A crime scene of this importance
is usually pored over for months after the incident. (People are
still visiting the scene of the Kennedy assassination every day, studying
all the distances and angles. A substantial percentage of the people
roaming around Dealey Plaza do not believe
the official lone-gunman explanation.) So why was the Murrah Building leveled so
quickly?
This page gets a lot of hits. Apparently there are many people
interested in this topic, for a variety of reasons. I suspect there
are many people who distrust the national news media and the federal
government as a result of the way this incident was reported.

UPDATE: A
two-year congressional investigation shows the FBI made serious errors
while investigating the Oklahoma City bombing.
The reports of the committee's work hit the news wires late in the
afternoon on Sunday, December
24, 2006. What better time could there be to release a news
story, in order to draw the absolute minimum of attention to it, and
provoke the least discussion?
Istook and the OKC Cover-up:
Considerable independent evidence indicates that there was indeed official
knowledge of specific prior warning before the Oklahoma City bombing.
That evidence includes:
Many witnesses who saw bomb squad trucks and personnel around
the Murrah Building
before the blast.
The absence of
ATF agents from their offices in the Murrah Building at the time of
the blast.
ATF-FBI informant
Carol Howe's testimony that she gave specific warning.
Federal informant
Cary Gagen's testimony (supported by a corroborating witness) that he
warned authorities on April 6th.
A U.S. Marshals' memo of
March 22, 1995 warning of
expected bomb attacks on federal buildings.

Report faults FBI's Oklahoma City bomb
probe. The FBI failed to fully investigate information
suggesting other suspects may have helped Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols
with the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, allowing
questions to linger more than a decade after the deadly attack, a
congressional inquiry concludes.
FBI Chided for OKC Bomb Investigation.
A two-year congressional inquiry into the Oklahoma City bombing concludes
that the FBI didn't fully investigate whether other suspects may have
helped Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols with the deadly 1995 attack,
allowing questions to linger a decade later. The House International
Relations investigative subcommittee will release the findings of its
two-year review as early as Wednesday, declaring there is no conclusive
evidence of a foreign connection to the attack, but that far too many
unanswered questions remain.
Feds failed to follow bombing evidence. For
years, Salt Lake City attorney Jesse
Trentadue has maintained his brother was killed in prison months after the Oklahoma City bombing by
interrogators who mistakenly believed he was connected to the attack.
Now, a new congressional report says federal authorities failed to
investigate evidence suggesting Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols had
assistance plotting the bombing and some of the information pointing
to co-conspirators came out of Trentadue's lawsuits against the FBI.
Latest OKC Bombing Probe Finds New Ramzi
Yousef Leads, But No Smoking Gun. A new Congressional
report outlines additional but still circumstantial links
between Oklahoma City bombing
conspirator Terry Nichols and World Trade Center bomber Ramzi

Foreign Connection?," the investigation was conducted by the Oversight
and Investigations Subcommittee of the House International Relations
Committee, at the request of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif.

Oklahoma Bombing Chronology.
Lawyer pursues links between neo-Nazis,
Oklahoma City bombing. Kenneth Trentadue's body bore
severe cuts and contusions, and signs of possible strangulation with a pair
of plastic handcuffs, but prison officials insisted he committed suicide by
hanging himself with a bedsheet. What potentially linked him to the Oklahoma City bombing was his
strong resemblance to one of the members of the neo-Nazi bank robbery gang
that the FBI was investigating for possible ties to McVeigh. Jesse
Trentadue believes federal agents mistook his brother for one of the bank
robbers, killed him during an interrogation about the Oklahoma City bombing
and then tried to cover up the crime a belief fueled by the
disappearance of key evidence in the case and the rush by prison
authorities to scrub Trentadue's cell before any investigators could
examine it.
[Richard
Lee] Guthrie was arrested on bank robbery charges in 1996 and eventually
struck a plea bargain with prosecutors. In fall 1996, he claimed he
would soon be revealing information that "would blow the lid off the Oklahoma City bombing case," according to the
report. The next day, he was found dead, hanging in his cell in Kentucky, purportedly a suicide.*
Was OKC Bomber Timothy McVeigh Working for the FBI?
In a 19-page affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City, convicted Oklahoma City bombing
conspirator Terry Lynn Nichols alleges that the bombing plot was actually
under the supervision of top FBI officials.

City that left 168 dead and hundreds more injured.

produce at least 87 pages of "un-redacted" internal FBI documents
related to the 1995 bombing of the 1995 Oklahoma City federal building, the

City federal court that could unlock some of the mysteries surrounding the
terrorist attack that left 168 dead.

additional evidence and the names of additional conspirators in the Oklahoma City bombing case.
Oklahoma City Bombing Questions.
When the word first got out that no Federal agents had been present in the
building, the BATF produced its Resident Agent Alex McCauley who told a
long story about his own heroism and that of a fellow ATF man who allegedly
fell three floors in an elevator, walked away from it, and then helped
rescue others trapped by the bomb. This was quickly exposed as a
fabrication in an angry interview by building maintenance supervisor Duane
James, who described McCauley's story as "pure fantasy".
The
McCauley account was quietly retracted and flushed down the memory hole by
the ATF, with the help of the media. They now admit that McCauley was
nowhere near the building when the bomb went off, although they refuse to
discuss his exact whereabouts or the whereabouts of any other ATF agent at
the time of the explosion.
Former high-ranking FBI official calls
for new OKC bombing probe. A former deputy assistant
director of the FBI with extensive experience in domestic terrorism cases
is calling for additional investigation into the 1995 bombing of the A.P. Murrah Federal Building.
The Left's privacy hypocrites.
According to the McCurtain Daily Gazette, in the days after the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the U.S. government used a
spy satellite to gather intelligence on a white separatist compound in Oklahoma.
Investigators
zeroed in on the compound in nearby Elohim City.
Photoreconnaissance satellites that gather intelligence from space usually
target hostile governments and foreign terrorists. "The domestic
use of a military satellite for domestic spying is a violation of DoD and
CIA regulations regarding the proper use of top-secret national security
satellites," the Gazette reported. But with the exception of a
brief Associated Press recap, the story received absolutely no
mainstream-media attention.
Red Flags From an Expert:
As one of the world's foremost experts in both the theoretical and
practical applications of explosives technology, Brigadier General Benton
K. Partin (USAF, retired) possesses virtually unparalleled qualifications
to authoritatively evaluate the public-source information available on the
bombing. From the start, the general expressed very strong misgivings
about the "official" story that the horrendous damage to
the federal building had been caused solely by the reported truck
bomb. Too many facts, he said, "simply just don't add up"
to support that convenient explanation.
Helicopter Above Murrah at the Moment of
the OKC Bombing. On the morning of April 19, 1995 a helicopter
hovered near and then over the Murrah building before and after it was
bombed at 9:02 am. Several
very reliable witnesses told me they saw this helicopter above the Murrah
building.
Former Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating did a taped interview
with FOX news reporter Rita Cosby in 1995 in which Keating acknowledged but
ridiculed and downplayed the helicopter story.
Did the Oklahoma City Bombers Have Help?. One
month after the April 19, 1995, Oklahoma City bombing that
killed 168 people, authorities demolished what was
left of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. Officials
said the implosion was a necessary part of the psychological recovery for
the citizens of Oklahoma City. But
critics question the FBI's tactics and argue the building came down too
soon and the implosion is one piece of a government cover-up.
The FBI A Legend Decays.
For most Americans the Federal Bureau of Investigation ranked up there with
motherhood and cherry pie. They were a legend, clean as the fabled
hound's tooth an investigative agency whose work went unchallenged.
That's all over now in the wake of the revelations about their
activities in the Oklahoma bombing case they
have been shown to be a dangerously unreliable government agency which has
abused its enormous power in ways that boggle the imagination.
Unresolved Deaths In Oklahoma
. Shortly after the bombing, Michael
Loudenslager was actively helping in the rescue and recovery effort.
A large number of those at the bomb-site either saw or talked with him.
To the absolute astonishment of a large number of police officers and
rescue workers, it was later reported that G.S.A. employee Mike
Loudenslager's body had been found inside the Murrah Building the following
Sunday, still at his desk, a victim of the 9:02 A.M. bombing!
This, mind you, after he'd already been seen alive and well by numerous
rescue workers at the bomb-site AFTER the bombing! He is also
officially listed as one of the 168 bombing fatalities.

A former investigative reporter for the NBC affiliate in Oklahoma City last night [3/20/2001] told Fox News Channel's Bill

federal building that killed 168 people.

The Oklahoma City bombing.
For six weeks, John Doe No. 2 is the most hunted man in the world
until, without explanation, he just kind of goes away.
Emmy-award-winning filmmaker Jack Cashill traces the roots of Sept. 11
to the political exploitation of terror investigations by the Clinton White
House in the desperate 1995-1996 election cycle. This 8-part series
begins in Oklahoma City.
The Oklahoma City aftermath.
In the case of the Oklahoma City bombing, as we
will see in the investigation of TWA Flight 800, the Clinton Justice
department's most dazzling sleight of hand was to make the eyewitnesses
disappear. The FBI refused to even look at the material Oklahoma City
TV reporter Jayna Davis had gathered. Rather than put a single
witness on the stand who could place McVeigh in or
near Oklahoma City on April 19,
the prosecution chose to build an entire case on circumstantial evidence.
Oklahoma City Bombing: Startling
Evidence Proves Government Cover-up. For the most
part, the media has accepted and promoted the government's version of the
bombing: that McVeigh with minor assistance from Terry
Nichols acted alone. The one-man, one-bomb scenario.
Some writers, though, have questioned these conclusions.
Unresolved Deaths in Oklahoma:
To the absolute astonishment of a large number of police officers and
rescue workers, it was later reported that G.S.A. employee Mike
Loudenslager's body had been found inside the Murrah Building the following
Sunday, still at his desk, a victim of the 9:02 A.M. bombing!
This, mind you, after he'd already been seen alive and well by numerous rescue
workers at the bomb-site AFTER the bombing! He is also officially
listed as one of the 168 bombing fatalities. The question now
becomes: Was he murdered and placed at his desk by federal
agents? Or was he just simply murdered by them and SAID to have been
found at his desk? Access to the inside of the building, from shortly
after the bombing onward was extremely limited to nearly all but federal
employees by the F.B.I. His death is UNQUESTIONABLY the most
important sidelight of the Oklahoma City bombing.
It's dangerous to know too much.
As in the Whitewater affair, Oklahoma City bombing witnesses
are dying fast. Two key witnesses in the Oklahoma City bombing case will
not appear to testify at the Denver trial of Timothy
McVeigh, one of the two accused of being responsible for the bombing,
because they are dead. One death has been labeled a suicide.
The other victim was killed in an air crash. Both deaths took place under
questionable circumstances.
The Terrance Yeakey Story:
Immediately, it became obvious to Officer Yeakey that a number of things
about the "bombing" just didn't add up. If this was a
terrorist bombing, then why were police line
already up behind the building when he first arrived, within two minutes
after the fact? And where had all of the ATF & FBI agents come in
so quickly outside the building (most relatively unharmed) when he'd first
gotten there as well?
The Murder of Oklahoma City Police
Department Sgt. Terrance Yeakey: Sgt. Yeakey's death
was NEVER properly investigated according to the basic standards of
criminal law. Consequently, his death was erroneously ruled a suicide
vs. an unsolved homicide.
Public Officials Accessories to OKC
Bombing Murders. Sworn testimony by US prosecutor Beth
Wilkinson to federal Judge Matsch in Denver in a November
1996 hearing reveals that the entire federal family (included US Marshals, FBI, US judges,
Congressman Istook, etc) in OKC was officially forewarned warned of an
attack on Murrah a few weeks before the bombing. [Congressman Ernest]
Istook told an OKC bombing victim in a taped conversation shortly after the
bombing that Istook knew that the OKC bombing was an FBI staged failed
sting operation that the public did not have a right or need to know about
since Istook said it was a national security operation.
Oswald and Dealey Plaza vs. McVeigh and
the OKC Bombing. Many other questions remain to be
answered, as in the Kennedy investigation, but will probably never be
breached. Questions such as: Was there an Iraqi
connection? Were there actually two (or more) explosions? Were
there two or more other bombs inside the building? Why did McVeigh's
license tag "fall off" his car? Why was the APB on the
brown pickup not followed up on, then later cancelled altogether and denied
to exist by the FBI? Exactly what number was found on the truck axle
that would identify the vehicle? Why have we not seen photographs of
this number plate? Why was not John Doe #2,
the Iraqi Republican Guard Division officer, not followed up in detail by
the FBI? And why, after it was shown there was no connection,
did the media continue to shift public attention to right wing groups
ranging from the NRA to various militia organizations when those entities
had the most to lose from such a tragic event?
Death-penalty trial for Oklahoma bomb
accomplice could backfire on FBI. A flurry of new
evidence promises to demonstrate quite the opposite of what the prosecutors
are hoping to prove: that Nichols, far from being a key player in the
conspiracy, was a relatively marginal figure, and that a gang of neo-Nazi
bank robbers, hitherto ignored by federal and state prosecutors, had a far
more prominent role.
Update and Correction:
30 Crucial OKC Bombing Questions Remain Unanswered.
The statement that no federal agents were in the building when it blew up
is not true. There were eight federal agents who died in the
building.
The Oklahoma City Bombing:
According to the March 20, 1996 issue of
Strategic Investment newsletter, a classified Pentagon study confirms that
the Oklahoma bombing was
caused by more than one bomb. A classified report prepared by two
independent Pentagon experts has concluded that the destruction of the
federal building in Oklahoma City in April 1995 was
caused by five separate bombs.
Cover-up in OKC. In
trying to pin the blame for the bombing solely on despicable mass-murderer
Timothy McVeigh, federal officials have ignored and covered up evidence of
a wider conspiracy.
FBI Cover-up Continues in OKC.
The document in question is a hotel receipt for FBI agent Danny Coulsen,
who was one of the Bureau's counter-terrorism experts in the mid-90s.
The electronic printout shows that Coulsen checked into the Oklahoma City
Embassy Suites at twenty minutes after midnight on the morning of
April 19, 1995 more than
8½ hours before the multiple bombs decimated the Murrah Building.
Coulsen is not
commenting about the document and has claimed that he was in Fort Worth, Texas on the morning of
the 19th before driving to Oklahoma as soon as he
learned of the tragedy at Murrah. However, the FBI has listed these
official records and all others on Coulsen prior to April 19, 1995, as
"Missing". So what else is new?
Conspiracy? Oklahoma City Bombing.
Timothy McVeigh claimed he acted alone. Yet, multiple eyewitnesses
identified McVeigh at ground zero with unknown accomplices before and after
the blast. The original indictment charged McVeigh, Terry Nichols,
and "others unknown" with conspiracy and murder. Was the
bombing part of a greater pattern of Middle East-sponsored terrorist
attacks, including the 1993 World Trade Center attack, bombing of the
Khobar Towers and the USS Cole, and 9/11?
The FBI's "Ten Most Un-Wanted
List". For the past two years, Oklahoma State
Representative Charles Key, former grand juror Hoppy Heidelberg, Glenn and
Cathy Wilburn, and a great many other Oklahomans have called attention to
the many credible eyewitnesses who say they saw Timothy McVeigh with a man
answering the description of John Doe No. 2, or with other men,
on the morning of the Oklahoma City bombing. Also important are the
many witnesses who connect McVeigh and the Ryder truck with other John Does
in Kansas.
However,
federal prosecutors have pointedly excluded from their list of trial
witnesses any of those who have attested to seeing anyone besides McVeigh.

The report, lends powerful support to the arguments of those experts who
have challenged the official government position
.
Witnesses heard multiple explosions.
Multiple witnesses reported hearing more than one explosion the day the
Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City was bombed, while other
explosives experts contend that the damage done to the building could not
have been caused by a single bomb placed outside in a truck.
Oklahoma City: Two Blasts and
Strange Facts. A seismograph at Stillwater (50 miles
away) measured two tremors. Bomb experts say there is no way to
direct a car bomb to utterly destroy a federal building and leave the YMCA
across the street unaffected (window washers weren't even knocked off their
scaffolding). Retired Brigadier General Partin had much experience
with explosives and visited OKC. He found evidence of some supporting
columns under the Murrah Building were pulverized while some closer to the street (and
"car bomb") were intact.
Oklahoma City Bombing Cover-up:
[Mike Loudenslager's] death is unquestionably the most important sidelight
of the Oklahoma City bombing.
[His] murder, most assuredly was one of the major factors leading to the
demise of both Dr. H. Don Chumley and later Terry Yeakey! In an
effort to cover up Mike Loudenslager's murder and to intimidate others who
were there early-on that morning, someone has taken out a number of
internal witnesses. Dr. Don Chumley and Terry Yeakey, both, besides
being at the Murrah Building that morning,
shared one other commonality. Each at the time of his death was
attempting to deliver evidence concerning the fact Mike Loudenslager was alive
and well after the bombing, and also to get certain other facts out about
the bombing as well.

The Oklahoma City Bombing: What is
the True Story? There is evidence that the truck bomb
could not have operated the way we have been told, and that there were
in fact two explosions. There are reports that the
Government knew of the blast ahead of time (why were ATF employees told not
[to] be in the building that day?). Key witnesses have mysteriously
died (gee, where have we heard of that before?). There has
been a coverup of huge proportions, hiding facts and unanswered questions
from the public. (Numerous additional links here.)
OKC Bombing's "Lost Information": An
analysis of raw news footage and reports in the immediate aftermath of the

Ex-FBI Agents Call for New McVeigh Probe:

Oklahoma City bombing John Doe No. 2?
Like the Kennedy assassination, many Americans remained deeply skeptical
about the government's assurances that McVeigh and Nichols acted alone in
this horrible crime. And for good reason, as it seems that the FBI
ignored important investigative leads, failed to interview potentially
significant witnesses, and destroyed the Murrah building before experts
could examine the crime scene.
Be sure to visit Jayna Davis dot com.
A body of compelling evidence proves that Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols
did not act alone.
In 1995, the federal grand jury proclaimed in the
official indictment that McVeigh and Nichols acted with "others
unknown." And several members of the Denver juries who
convicted the two said publicly that they thought they had help.
Since 1997, Davis has repeatedly
tried to interest the FBI in her investigation. She has been
rebuffed.
OKC Bombing Cover-Up:
Numerous additional articles and lots of discussion about this incident and
the loose ends that many people find so interesting.

The Oklahoma City Bombing:
PROOF there were additional explosive charges.
Iraq Linked to 9-11 and Oklahoma City
Bombing: The Wall Street Journal has added its voice
to those - in and out of government - who have concluded the
circumstantial evidence linking Saddam Hussein's Iraq to the 1995 Oklahoma
City bombing, the 1993 first World Trade Center bombing, as well as the
9-11 attacks, is overwhelming.
Apocryphal
but interesting:
Mysteries of the 2nd Ryder truck. Among many
of the locals who vividly recall activities of McVeigh and Nichols, in the
days before the bombing, the certain belief exists that the defendants (and
other unknown persons) had, for a time, a second Ryder truck. But
when such information is passed to the FBI, witnesses say the agents don't
appear interested or the sightings are wholly discounted.
The Importance of Jane Graham: Eyewitness
accounts before the bombing strongly suggest that demolition charges were
placed elsewhere. On the Friday before the bombing several persons at
the Murrah building saw three men (they took for maintenance or utility
workers) "working" in a reserved area of the underground parking
structure. These men had what appeared to be a set of plans or
"blue prints," telephone wire and a large block of
"clay."

Turning the Tables on Oklahoma City:
As the nation tried to figure out "whodunit," the political left
already had an answer, and no amount of facts would change it:
"The killer was 'the political right.'"
Why 9-11? The FBI
had no scientific evidence for concluding the OKC bombing was the result of
an ammonium nitrate fertilizer bomb. The Justice Department found
that the explosives unit simply guessed that the bomb was made of
4,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate after the FBI found a receipt
suggesting Terry Nichols had purchased that amount. No tests were
conducted. No detonator was recovered.
Widespread Failure In McVeigh Case:
Widespread failures by the FBI led to the belated disclosure of thousands
of pages of documents that caused a one-month delay in the execution of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy
McVeigh, the Justice Department said in releasing the results of an
investigation Tuesday [3/19/2002].
36,000 pages of undisclosed evidence?
Convicted Oklahoma City bomber Terry
Nichols may get some help in his appeal as U.S. judges in Colorado consider whether
some 36,000 pages of undisclosed FBI tips and evidence should be
provided to his attorneys.
Was FBI early arrival in Oklahoma City?:
The FBI's top counterterrorism agent checked into an Oklahoma City hotel nearly nine
hours before a truck bomb nearly leveled the Alfred P. Murrah Building, according to a
[hotel] receipt obtained by WorldNetDaily, despite
claims that he was in Texas the morning of
the attack.
Dead men tell no tales:
What is the government hiding? It is absolutely outrageous that after
the millions of man-hours, the tens of millions in tax dollars spent, and
the ultimate closing of the case by the execution of McVeigh, the
government continues to withhold the surveillance videotapes from the day
of the Murrah bombing.
The resurrection of President Clinton:
The inspector general's report found that the FBI crime labs had
"repeatedly reached conclusions that incriminated the defendants
without a scientific basis" in the Oklahoma bombing case.
Oklahoma City's lost information:
Early accounts differ from today's 'official' explanation of the
bombing. Initial news broadcasts by KWTV-9, KFOR TV-5 and Channel 4
News all feature reports confirmed by state, local and federal officials
that a total of three bombs had been placed inside the Murrah building.

Pattern of Deceit Emerges From Bomb
Investigation: Stephen Jones, former attorney for
recently executed bomber Timothy McVeigh, says there appears to be a
pattern of deceit emerging that points to FBI
senior level management in charge of the bureau's OKBOMB
investigation. Jones made the comments after learning additional
evidence in the bombing case may have been wrongly withheld from the defense
team while he represented McVeigh.
Key Report on OKC Bombing:
Timothy McVeigh has been punished for his crime, but the Final Report of
the Oklahoma Bombing Investigation Committee indicates that other
perpetrators remain at large.
We Will Not Forget:
The McVeigh execution supposedly brings "closure" to those who
survived or lost loved ones in the Oklahoma City bombing.
But what those survivors and victims really want is justice.
Unsung Hero: Glenn Wilburn.
Glenn and Kathy Wilburn recognized very early on that there was something
terribly wrong with the federal investigation into the terrorist attack
that took the lives of their grandsons Chase and Colton. Astounded
and angered at the government's refusal to follow some of the most important
leads and its repeated cover-up of important evidence and testimony, the
Wilburns launched their own intensive investigation. Through their
tireless efforts, many important witnesses and a great deal of vital
evidence that had been previously suppressed has
been brought to light.
The Truth Is Still Out There:
A new book about Timothy McVeigh claims to be the definitive study of the Oklahoma City bombing. In
reality, it is merely a rehash of the old Justice Department "lone
wolf" scenario.
Rubber Stamp Report on OKC:
The long-awaited report of the Oklahoma County Grand Jury, released on December 30th,
was undoubtedly cause for wild celebration and early New Year's merriment
at the Clinton White House, Janet Reno's Justice Department,
and Louis Freeh's FBI. The grand jury, which had been empaneled
in June 1997 to investigate the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, held the
potential for exposing the massive bungling, corruption, cover-up, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, and
conspiracy that had been so blatantly evident in the biggest and deadliest
terrorist case the federal government had ever prosecuted. But the
jury's report showed once again the awesome power of the federal apparatus
especially since the advent of the Clinton regime to
smother truth and subvert justice. Ignoring mountains of
contradicting evidence, the jury bent over backwards to produce a
ludicrously glowing endorsement of the federal government's absurd
lone-bomber/single-bomb theory.
OKC Grand Jury:
Testimonies conflict with government story.
Oklahoma City terrorism report released:
6-year investigation concludes the government "concealed"
the truth.
Major
points outlined in the committee's report include:
- Evidence suggesting the
federal government had prior knowledge that the bombing was going to
occur, and where;
- Evidence others besides
McVeigh and Nichols had a hand in planning the attack, securing the
materials for the explosives, and carrying the bombing out;
- Materials detailing the
government's early assertion that other unexploded bombs were found by
authorities immediately after the first bomb went off;
- Failures by federal law
and court officials before, during and after the bombing.
Judge in Bombing Trial Failed to Read
Howe's ATF File: An examination of a sealed
transcript made during a closed door session in the waning days of the
Terry Nichols' bombing trial indicates that United States District
Judge Richard P. Matsch admitted to lawyers for the government,
and to Nichols, that he received Carol Howe's extensive and sensitive
ATF informant file - months earlier - but never read it.
Another case which is possibly related:
Lawyer outlines a broader conspiracy in
search for FBI documents on Oklahoma City bombing. A Utah attorney alleges
informants gathering information on Timothy McVeigh or his associates
warned the FBI about the plot to bomb the Oklahoma City federal building
but the agency took no action to stop the 1995 attack. Jesse
Trentadue also says there were others involved in carrying out the bombing
besides McVeigh and Terry Nichols, despite investigators' conclusion that
they were the only ones responsible for the crime. The allegations
are made in a brief filed Monday in a lawsuit by Trentadue, who believes
his brother's death in a federal prison was linked to the bombing.
12 Years Later, John Doe No. 2 Remains
Focus Of Conspiracy Theory. [Jesse] Trentadue's theory
is full of intrigue. He claims it points to a wide conspiracy,
a conspiracy the government says did not exist. He has collected
volumes of information from the government and other sources as he
investigates the death of his brother, Kenneth Michael Trentadue, at a
federal prison in Oklahoma City just four months
after the Oklahoma City bombing.
A Coverup That Won't Stay Covered:
CNN recently reported that "the Justice Department is re-examining its
investigation into the 1995 death of a federal prisoner that the victim's
family alleges was murdered at the hands of the government."
Editor's Note: I found
this case interesting, and after doing a little searching on the internet
for the name of the victim in this case, it appears that he might have been
the elusive John Doe #2 in the Oklahoma City bombing
investigation, or at least he may have known the identity of
John Doe #2.
Reno closes Trentadue case; Senator Hatch
opens it! Fred B. Jordon, the Chief Medical Examiner
(who examined the victims in the Murrah Building Explosion), reacted to the
government's "case closed" statement with dismay, "Kenneth
Trentadue died a violent and unusual death, the mechanism of which may
never be satisfactorily explained."

Trentadue: A five part series which seems to suggest
that Mr. Trentadue was John Doe #2.
The Strange Case of Kenny Trentadue's
Jail "Suicide". William F. Jasper, Senior
Editor of The New American, interviews attorney Jesse Trentadue, Kenny
Trentadue's brother. In this four-part interview Jesse reveals how he was
led reluctantly to the conclusion that his brother's death in jail was part
of a government coverup of the truth about the Oklahoma City Bombing.
Oklahoma City bombing: New evidence
renews conspiracy debate. Kenneth Trentadue was no
angel. In the 1980s, he did time for robbing banks. But in a
strange twist, the circumstances behind his violent death 10 years ago
in prison are playing out in federal court in a case that hints at a wider
conspiracy in the Oklahoma City bombing.
Recently released documents unearthed because of a lawsuit against the FBI
suggest that the long-standing allegations may not be so far-fetched.
The mysterious death of Kenneth Trentadue.
"They (prison officials) thought we were going to get the body home
and just have funeral services and that would be it. They didn't
think they were going to run into a strong family like this."
Another Suicide Or Another Cover-up?. Like
everyone who is admitted into the prison system, Kenneth underwent routine
psychological tests to determine if he had suicidal tendencies. The
results indicated he didn't. Nevertheless, he was placed, for some
unknown reason, in a specially designed, suicide-proof cell in a special
unit on the seventh floor that's segregated from the general prison
population.
On Aug. 21,
1995, Trentadue died in that isolation cell. Officials
promptly declared the death a suicide.
The following day the Inspector
General's Office of the Justice Department ruled that no "prosecutable
federal crime had occurred." Two years later, that's still the
official government line despite a staggering amount of evidence indicating
Trentadue was murdered.
Uncovering a DOJ Coverup.
In 1995 Kenneth Trentadue was murdered by federal agents in a federal
prison in Oklahoma City. A coverup
immediately went into effect. Federal authorities claimed Trentadue,
who was being held in a suicide-proof cell, had committed suicide by
hanging himself, but the state coroner would not buy the story.

a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
