Did Oklahoma City Bombers Have Help?
http://www.foxnews.com/index.html ^ | Saturday, April 16, 2005 | Fox

One month after the April 19, 1995, Oklahoma City bombing (search) that killed 168 people, authorities demolished what was left of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building (search). 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. Survivor VZ Lawton remembers the events after the attack. “I was in my office at my desk signing papers and all of a sudden the building began to shake,” said Lawton. “The lights went out, debris started falling and then something hit me on the head and knocked me out before the truck bomb ever went off.” Lawton and some others believe Timothy McVeigh (search) — who was convicted of federal conspiracy and murder charges in the bombing and executed in 2001 — and convicted conspirator Terry Nichols (search) weren't alone in plotting the attack. During the investigation the FBI circulated sketches of “John Does” and in response received thousands of conflicting tips from across the country.

Uncle Vlad, that's not strange at all to me.
It never passed the smell test, in my opinion.

Something hit him in the head and knocked him out.

And now he's an expert on what came next. Or even before?

Taking down the building is the least of the questions that need answering and it answers aren't in the rubble....IMO.

Request for help. I remember that McVeigh had written 3 letters to the editor to the small upstate New York newspaper in his home town. One letter explained how he was in support on nationalized healthcare. I haven't been able to find it.

Is this all in my mind or is there such a letter?

Then why doesn't Mr. Bush let the truth be known. That would surely sink the hildabeast and her presidency chances.
Don't get me wrong, I do think there has been a cover up here and regarding many other events like flight 800. I
just don't know why the myths are perpetuated.
If you recall Mr. Halstrom of the F.b.i. stated right after the plane was shot down that if you knew the truth about this, then he caught himself and shut the hell up.

Thank God the Demonic Dems are not running the U.S. any more, at least not in foreign affairs.

There are still many 'Demons' employed at the State Department.

Another speedy deed was the demolition of the remnants of the building and closing the site. (Basically, the destruction of a crime scene.)

Mebbe tinfoil hat material, but the only quicker removal of a crime scene I can think of happened at Waco...also fenced off, and where critical evidence was 'lost'.

John Kerry referred to TWA800 as a terrorist attack - twice - once on Larry King and then again with Chris Matthews.

Yes, the likeliest answer is that it was a botched "sting" and Clintoon chose to turn it into a propaganda event.

While that is entirely possible, I am reminded that: Congressional hearings had been scheduled into just what happened at Waco.

Randy Weaver was some where in the legal process that led to a judgement against the Feds.

The assault weapons ban repeal movement was gaining ground.

The militia movement was gathering steam.

A plethora of allegations/investigations into Clintonista racketeering were going down or in their inception.

What better way to deflect public opinion than have a terrorist event, set up as a sting, but allowed to proceed, and then handily blame it on Conservatives, gun owners, Christians, and just about anyone who was willing to cry "Foul".

Just after the bombing, anyone to the Right of Hillary was branded an "extremist", and the MSM played that tune so long and hard, they had to cut new tapes.

Which will be revealed first if ever?

The truth about Kennedy, TWA 800, or OKC?

As I recall, McVeigh dropped all his appeals and wanted to die. I doubt that he (or anyone with no fear of death) would ever have dropped dime on any of his accomplices. Good riddance to bad rubbish, I say.

I think TWA 800 was a terrorist attack that got swept under the rug in the name of political correctness and preserving the airline industry. Sometimes I think the Government would have swept 9/11 under the rug if it were feasibe.

When all is said and done... Where did the extra leg come from?

That's all I want to know.

Until the second plane hit, many news reports were still spinning in the direction of a "tragic accident."

A Federal Government worker, who had witnessed the blast first-hand. "He was approximately five blocks from the building whenever the building went up. He claims that the top of the building went up like a missile going through it. The debris was coming back down when the side of the building blew out. He said third and last, the truck blew up on the street.

I had not heard this account as to THREE.

But I can assure all that at my home here in OKC, there were TWO distinct reports separated by a second or less, and the second was larger. Kinda of a "boom..BOOM!".

That is a good question. I'd guess "FBI files." That's the Clinton's "nuclear option."

So it's up to outsider to tear down the wall of silence.

Hear, hear!

Both sites were demolished WAY too fast for any sort of forensic collection for later examination. WAY too fast.

So, whose posterior was being covered by this?
