Clinton covered up 1996 Atlanta Olympic bombings

The very same day that the Clintons go to Long Island to meet with the TWA Flight 800 families, security guard Richard Jewell is patrolling the grounds of Centennial Park in Atlanta. He's a little Barney Fife-ish, but a good guy and very observant.

Right around midnight, Jewell spots a large, olive-green, military-style backpack, known as an Alice pack, under a bench. He immediately shares this information with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. When the GBI cannot find the pack's owner, the GBI officer and Jewell begin to clear an area around the pack. Soon afterward, the pack explodes. Two people die and more than a hundred are injured. If this sophisticated 40-pound bomb had not been jostled, and had Jewell not seen it, the bomb might have killed hundreds.

Richard Clarke and the Clinton administration were understandably worried about terrorism. At one high-level planning meeting before the Olympics, Clarke has even theorized that terrorists might hijack a 747 and crash it into Olympic stadium. Remember the Bojinka-related "planes as bombs" plot. But in the "feel good" Olympic games of 1996, in the lead up to the Clinton re-nomination, when "everything is wonderful," no official even speculates as to whether Islamic terrorists might be behind the Olympic bombing.

Nor do contemporary media reports address the fact that the Centennial Park bomb was one out of many. A highly reliable Atlanta-area police officer who was working the Olympics has shared some new information with me. As he relates, the night after the Centennial Park blast, a bomb is found in the trunk of a car parked on the road between Olympic City and Centennial Park. The bomb squad defuses it with a 12-gauge slug from a distance after two hours of trying. Over the course of the next week or two, he and his fellow officers will get reports that different devices have also been found, including one on a MARTA train.

"The information wasn't really rumor," writes the officer, "because we were listening to it real-time on the radios – I wanted to make that clear."

Rather than alarm the Olympic-goers and the nation with the possibility of a widespread terror plot, the Clinton Justice Department suppresses information about the subsequent bombs and blames the one lethal blast on the transparently innocent Jewell. Its agents then hound Jewell all the way through the end of October.

Whose idea this was is not clear. Clarke blames Louis Freeh and the FBI. But the Clintons and their operatives were always quick to blame the FBI, and the media were equally quick to pile on. The media shed no light. The reporting on this incident is insufficient and inept. The best account, an 18,000-word piece in Vanity Fair, does not even mention the words Islam or Islamic even to dismiss them. Only Dick Morris has gone on record to call this a terrorist "attack."

Six months after the Centennial Park attack, a bomb goes off outside an Atlanta abortion clinic, and a month after that one explodes at the Otherside lounge, an Atlanta "gay" bar. This, of course, leads Clinton's Department Of Justice to pin it all, including the Olympics – a rather novel target for anti-abortion activists – on the mystical right-winger, Eric Rudolph.

But there is something to consider here. The first killing in the American jihad took place in November 1990 when an Eyptian by the name of El-Sayyid Nosair shot Jewish activist Meir Kahane at a New York Hotel. The first terrorist act in the American jihad had taken place in April of that year when the same Mr. Nosair blew up a "gay" bar in Greenwich Village.

And that brings us to great irony of the jihad. The America that the terrorists hate is progressive America: homosexual rights, abortion, radical feminism, pornography, MTV ... you name it. And yet, our progressive friends are almost pathetically eager to embrace radical Islam. Why? There's one thing they have in common: their shared distaste for America.

One final irony. Toward the end of the 1996 campaign, the media start challenging Clinton about the illegal Asian money he has been using to fund his campaign. To suggest his own innocence, and the media's recklessness in accusing him, Clinton compares himself to, yes, Richard Jewell.

And he gets away with it.

THE OBSTRUCTION OF THE OKLAHOMA BOMBING GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION,
The Mysterious Jamie Gorelick Phone Call
By David Hoffman,Sun Sep 14 12:10:57 1997

---

On Aug. 22, 1996, just before the Democratic National Convention,
Ms. Gorelick oversaw a critical Justice Department meeting with the FBI.
mmediately after this meeting, as it happened,
all serious inquiry into the fate of TWA 800 came to an end.

Gorelick was instrumental in the corruption of TWA Flight 800 terrorism investigation
Did Clinton appointee corrupt Flight 800 probe?

Consider: If Gorelick, Clarke and Clinton had been completely HONEST
to the American public about the Islamic-crashed airplanes, like TWA800, in the 90's
or the other Islamic terror attacks, then Americans WOULD have been on alert on 911
and would have had the opportunity to prevent the 911 Atrocities.

Who's Who on the 9/11 "Independent" Commission

"According to a 1998 Senate testimony of former CIA director James
Woolsey, powerful financier Khalid bin Mahfouz’ younger sister is
married to Osama bin Laden,. (US Senate, Senate Judiciary
Committee, Federal News Service, 3 Sept. 1998, See also Wayne
Madsen, Questionable Ties, In These Times,12 Nov. 2001 )
Bin Mahfouz is suspected to have funneled millions of dollars to the Al
Qaeda network.(See Tom Flocco, Scoop.co.nz 28 Aug. 2002)
Now, "by sheer coincidence", former New Jersey governor Thomas
Kean has business ties with bin Mahfouz and Al-Amoudi.
Thomas Kean is a director (and shareholder) of Amerada Hess
Corporation , which is involved in the Hess-Delta joint venture with
Delta Oil of Saudi Arabia (owned by the bin Mahfouz and Al-Amoudi
clans)...
Now you would think that being a business partner of the brother in
law and alleged financier of "Enemy No. 1" would also be considered a
bona fide "conflict of interest", particularly when your mandate --as
part of the 9/11 Commission's work-- is to investigate "Enemy No. 1".
"(Michel Chossudovsky, New Chairman of 9/11 Commission had
business ties with Osama's Brother in Law,
Centre for Research on Globalization, December 2002 )

"WE also finally have our own copy of Gorelick's book "Destruction of Evidence"
and we will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, be fired again by anyone."

Don't forget Oklahoma City either. All the leads to John Does #3 through who knows how many.

And one day we may yet hear what happened to the missing nukes. Funny that the Chinese liked Clinton so-o-o-o-o-o-o much that they gave him (and other Dems) campaign money.

[mountaineer]

Leave it to the incompetent Clinton administration to ignore the possibility of an Islamic attack at the 1996 Olympics, even after the 1993 WTC bombing.

Speaking of Rudolph, this is from an Indian site:

Lawyers for accused abortion clinic bomber Eric Rudolph on Monday filed motions saying that his capture was "the result of illegal detention and arrest," and they are asking a judge to suppress all evidence gathered during Rudolph's arrest, CNN.com reports.

The attorneys argue that no probable cause existed for police officers to believe Rudolph was committing a crime or that he was a fugitive, and therefore he should not have been detained. There was no immediate response from the prosecution, according to CNN.com (Schuster, CNN.com, 9/20).

Rudolph, who was captured in May 2003 after a five-year search, was wanted for allegedly bombing an Atlanta-area abortion clinic in 1997 and a Birmingham, Ala., clinic in 1998. The Birmingham bombing killed a police officer and critically injured a nurse.

In addition to the clinic bombings, Rudolph has been indicted in relation to the 1997 bombing of an Atlanta gay and lesbian nightclub that injured five people and the 1996 Olympic Park bombing, which killed one person and injured 111 others.

Rudolph's Birmingham trial is scheduled to begin in May 2005 (Kaiser Daily Reproductive Health Report, 8/25). Rudolph faces the death penalty in that trial.

However, his attorneys on Monday again filed motions in federal court arguing that the death penalty is unconstitutional and should not be an option for sentencing, according to CNN.com (CNN.com, 9/20).

Ping. Interesting thread, especially the "irony of the jihad" near the end of the article.

[bert]

Why....

For years I have been telling you because... these acts are SIN.

The Great Satan is a source of sin throughout the world.

He left out Bill Clinton. If Americans place a high value on a scoundrel like Bill Clinton, how can Americans who hold such views be worthy of association.

New York and Hollywood are the cesspools of the world equivalent to the Biblical Sodom and Gommora.

I am not a radical fire and brimstone right wing evangelical conservative but I recognize the same traits in many who are of the Islamic faith.and do not

Actually, only one woman was killed, and 100 others were injured.

If I remember correctly, the link between the abortion clinic bomb, homosexual bar bomb, and the Olympic Park bomb was the small marks on the shanks of nails used in the bombs.

The FBI crime lab told us that the crimper that holds the shaft leaves a unique mark on a nail, and the nails at all three places came from the same lot, so Rudolph, and not a foreign terrorist, had to be the perp.

I remember thinking at the time that the Olympic Park bomb was a lot like the Palestinian satchel charges that used to be popular before they started blowing up kids.

Leaping on Jewell, even coercing testimony out of him under the guise of making a training video, then jumping on Rudolph still seems a bit odd. And now that he has been captured, has anyone heard anything from him?

[Coffee_drinker]

Interesting about the marks on the nails.

At least now we have woken up from our Slumber and recognize that the terrorist are targeting us.

Even more important to elect a post 911 president instead of a pre-911 senator

In my opinion, that is the one statement that the writer got wrong, it is not really the progressive America that the Islamo-fascists hate, it's just what they tell the Jihadists. The Islamo-fascists and the US Progressives hate the same thing, capitalistic freedom. This includes freedom of religion. The Islamist fascists have exploited the Muslim religion because it transcends national borders and thus trumps nationalism as a resource of support. History has proven that religion makes the most dedicated warriors. This is the same reason that the US left decries and dismisses fundamentalist Christianity. Christianity is the main foe of both the Islamo fascists and the Progressives.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

The America that the terrorists hate is progressive America

I guess that's why they blew up Christian churches in Baghdad, a school full of children in Chechnya, and trains in Spain.

[DBrow]

http://edition.cnn.com/US/9707/olympic.park.bombing/who.did.it/

This does not mention exactly what the similarity between the nails was, but does mention them.


I find it astounding that we did not wake up after the FIRST WTC bombing, an event clearly tied to radical Islam. Then, finding Bojinka files in Usef's laptop in 1995-6 still did not wake us up. people I spoke to then about a growing problem thought I was nuts.

Then OKC, Flight 800, Olympic Park, the Egyptian suicide plane crash...and we slumbered on.

Our media and the democrat party wish us to slumber on. As you pointed out above, strange that rabid pro-abortion forces would try to protect rabid anti-abortion forces (as long as they are not American). I wonder what the attraction is.

[Jaysun]

And that brings us to great irony of the jihad. The America that the terrorists hate is progressive America: homosexual rights, abortion, radical feminism, pornography, MTV ... you name it. And yet, our progressive friends are almost pathetically eager to embrace radical Islam. Why? There's one thing they have in common: their shared distaste for America.

Truer words were never spoken. I've even argued that, if you look closely, you'll see that the common hatred for America in Europe and elsewhere is really hatred of the left. To most of the world, a stereotypical American is a Michael Moore type caricature.

[Cicero]

Fascinating. And only too likely. Clinton was DESPERATE to blame violence on the pro-lifers. Half the FBI, black helicopters and all, were assigned to hunt for Eric Rudolph, while dangerous spies and terrorists were ignored.

Yes, Rudolph killed somebody by accident when he bombed the abortion clinic, and he deserves to be caught and tried. But hundreds of worse murderers were given lower priorities, and Muslim terrorists were given a free pass, because acknowledging their existence might have had the wrong political effect.

I never thought about this in connection with the Olympic bombing. But it makes a whole lot of sense in the light of TWA 800, the OKC bombing, and the rest of the clinton record.

[Coffee_drinker]

Our media and the democrat party wish us to slumber on.

We know our media especially the MSM is out only for the bucks. What ever story gets our attention, gets the news, and I mention news with tongue in cheek. Then the Democrat party only wants power, it has been taken over and is not the party of the zell millers. Yes America was fat and lazy and we still are to some extent. That is why we need leaders that do not forget! and know the treat is real for if we don't defend ourselves then the liberals wont have a country to make their slanderous films (ie F911)

[softengine]

Tks for the info. Its been said again and again, and I've reiterated it to everyone who would listen, that the 9-11 Commission wasn't about 'finding the truth' - it was quite the opposite and anyone who has read any of the articles in this series, or googled any of the info on the events they reference would either have to admit that, or is a liar. IMHO, liar, here, equals collusion.

That said, again IMHO, 1) that the MSM has not, and will not, touch this, also equals collusion. 2) Sadly, we have in office(s), top -> down, folks who are

• a. turning a blind eye to this out of fear
• b. lazy, shiftless, worms just there for the easy street paycheck
  or
• c. in collusion.

At some point, we the people, will have to demand that this be addressed or remove from office those persons who are not willing to take the task on. But we don't. We sit here online, tapping away at the keys, keyboard warriors without a leader.

Note to self : I said that phrase first. "Keyboard warriors without a leader." ~ by Softengine

[Coffee_drinker]

To most of the world, a stereotypical American is a Michael Moore type caricature.

And of course we are not getting much if any help from the Democrat party, and the MSM. If the media would be doing it's job we would have true news and true reporting. I'm just so glad we have a President that understands the threat and the Internet and some Cable news that will report the truth/news and will do some investigating reporting.
For instance the FOX news show a couple days ago on the Oil for Food scandal, was a brilliant piece of work.
