Report: Satellite Used After Ok. Bombing

21 minutes ago

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, according to a published report.

The McCurtain Daily Gazette reported Wednesday that it had obtained a Secret Service log indicating that on May 2, 1995 — two weeks after the April 19 bombing — the FBI was trying to locate suspects for questioning. They were thought to be in Elohim City, a compound near the town of Muldrow.

"Satellite assets have been tasked to provide intelligence concerning the compound," the document says.

Shown a copy, Secret Service spokesman Jonathan Cherry told The Associated Press he could not confirm it was a Secret Service document and declined further comment.

There was no indication in the document of what information the satellite might have gathered, or what the spacecraft was capable of doing.

"...And liberals complain about Patriot Act powers under Bush."

I think the point is more that we, the people, are woefully ignorant about abuse of power in this country.

One wonders if satellite surveillance of US citizens is now routine? I remember hearing years ago that such surveillance would be strictly illegal, and that it would never happen. Much like using the PA powers for non-terrorist related activities...

Does this mean that Ambrose Evans Pritchard was right after all?

I recall all this coming out just after Clinton decided to bulldoze all the evidence at the site.

Anyone else other than Clinton and this would be getting more coverage.

There was a guy, Strassmier (sp) I think. And he is a possible link to this being a bigger cover-up than the media would have you believe.

Absolutely. Your only hope is to lock yourself in your home, put aluminum foil over all windows, and disconnect your home from all utilities.

Act now, or all will be lost!

Clinton, Reno and Gorelick had no problem with a "wall" when it came to spying on what they considered right-wing nuts. The funny thing is that Clinton had a reputation of using the 'N' word as much as those nuts, so he was committing treason against his own....

BTW, does anyone know if those "separitist" actually vote? I am not sure they are right wing or full circle loonie (theory that too far either left or right and you come full circle and share a lot of wacky ideas.)

If Jayna Davis is correct, and I tend to think she is, then the whole Elohim City thing is quite probably disinformation.

And JD Cash has been on the 'disinformatzia" payroll since well before the bombing...

It's almost a pity that Mike Rivero was banned....

...and OKCSubmariner...

Both those guys could be a bit "far out" -- but they had the guts to dig in smelly places that I, for one, have always refused to even visit...

Hmmmmm. And I was under the impression that satellite surveillance was not used on people in the U.S. I asked somebody "in the know" one time why they couldn't use sat pictures to prove O.J. is a murderer and was told "we don't spy on our own people".

DEA reportedly has a videotape of the murders, taken by the DEA surveillance team covering Ron Goldman, not the only Mezzaluna employee to be murdered.... On July 30, 1993, eleven months before Simpson/Goldman murders, Ron Goldman's friend Brett Cantor was killed with a knife in a manner identical to Ron and Nicole: from behind and across the throat and stabbed repeatedly on the arms and chest. Michael Nigg, a waiter at the Mezzaluna was shot in the head and killed, another was stabbed to death in Aspen, Colorado and a third Mezzaluna waiter barely survived a car bombing.

Judge Ito's wife, a witness in the trial, was assigned to the LAPD Internal Affairs bureau and served as the LAPD liason to the DEA. Coincidentally, one of Judge Ito's bailiffs was shot to death during the trial, and a private detective consulting to the defense team on DNA evidence was also gunned down.

Whether or not *we spy on our own people* is largely dependent on how close their ties to the then-prominent Hererra drug cartel they are....

Was he the guy known as OKCSubmariner? If so, why in the world was he banned? I've asked this countless times but have never received an answer.

And since McVeigh was already in custody, they were looking for who, exactly? The middle-eastern-looking John Doe Number Two? Or their informant?

That is a very intriguing question, if this is a credible report.

No -- his screen name was Michael Rivero. He was a serious conspiracy theorist. Among other things, he loved to post some pictures of a Ryder truck as "evidence" of ... well, I can't remember what, exactly, but it was of course a big conspiracy. He got more and more bizarre and abusive, and was finally banned.

FWIW, Mike Rivero is apparently the guy behind this site. A scan through it should give you a good idea of what he's all about.
