25 years later, and we STILL don’t have all of the truth about it

“25 years later, and we STILL don’t have all of the truth about it”

We don’t have the truth about a great many events of the last 50 years (starting with JFK). If we had a press that was really a watchdog instead of a trained lap dog, it would
probe and demand answers.

Instead, it functions as the propaganda arm of the establishment.

Almost nothing we officially know about OKC is actually true.

Just wanted to add that the OKC bombing memorial and museum is a must-see. Very well done.

Timothy CIA McVeigh’s execution was a hoax:

Except they really wiped out talk radio back then. Took a long time for it to come back. Rush was left pimping NAFTA.

Just another standard issue made for TV docu-drama full of darkness, death and just enough convenient cover to make it all go away.

Classic Clinton.

I hope The Rest of the Story is told in my lifetime.

In the olden days such a tragedy would get an obelisk and a brass plaque on what happened on that spot, and that was all.

Now the memorials take up acres, and a memorial for each person KILLED. It is as if they say, “Look, look! Our memorial is bigger because WE CARE MORE!”

I notice the author failed to mention the innocent little children the FBI & ATF killed in Texas.
But then most people in the media business care little for dead Christian children.

IF the truck bomb did all that damage to the fedzbldg then why was the opposite side of the street virtually undamaged ?

If anyone really wants to know what motivated and enabled McVeigh and his terrorist compatriot Nichols. - they had formal training from the ABU SAYYEF terrorist group in the Philippines. THESE WERE NOT LONE ACTORS

I will not go further but it’s safe to say there was ALphabet involvement

the FBI attempted to force the remaining Davidians out of the compound using tear gas

No, they used CS gas, which is against the Geneva Convention, and highly flammable

Instead, the compound erupted into flames

See comment above - because of highly flammable CS Gas

Weaver was well-armed and known to have extreme, apocalyptic religious beliefs

Jehovah's Witnesses aren't well armed, but they have extreme, apocalyptic religious beliefs. Waiting for ATF to kill a bunch of them /sarc (in case it's needed)

Other than “Waco” that was televised months ago, I don’t know if a good series was done anything close to the OKC bombing & aftermath.

Twenty-five years ago today, a young U.S. Army veteran named Timothy McVeigh parked a moving truck in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. At 9:02 a.m., McVeigh’s homemade truck bomb detonated, ripping a hole through the Murrah building and killing 168 people, 19 of whom were children.

One strange aspect of that bombing was the Govts. response which was ; we know who was involved in this bombing, Michael Fortier, Timothy McVey and Terry Nichols, that's it.

The Govt. didn't seem to want to investigate beyond those three people, when a lot of contacts with them should have been thoroughly investigated.

Maybe only those three were involved; but if others were involved the Govt. didn't appear to want to pursue it. - Tom
