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.

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.

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

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.

Multiple Blasts in the OKC Bombing:
More Evidence. A new study analyzing explosive tests
conducted by the U.S. Air Force against a reinforced concrete structure may
provide an important key to understanding the Oklahoma City bombing. 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 3rd terrorist: Mideast tie to OKC bombing.
Investigative reporter has evidence of Islamic plot.
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
bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building in

on the scene.
Ex-FBI Agents Call for New McVeigh Probe:
FBI agents destroyed evidence and failed to share other information that
raised the possibility that a gang of white supremacist bank robbers may
have assisted Timothy McVeigh during the Oklahoma City bombing, according to
documents never introduced at McVeigh's trial.

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.

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."

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."
