ROHRBACHER DEMANDING NEW PROBE OF OKC
Jayna Davis and I had an interesting phone conversation this morning. She is still waiting for a plane ticket to D.C. and an invitation to testify about the OKC bombing. Neither has been forthcoming.
Is it good news that Rep. Dana Rohrbacher (R-CA) is demanding a new probe of the OKC bombing? Maybe. But is it going to really get to the truth about the Middle Eastern connection to OKC? Maybe not.
Last year, David Schippers, famous for prosecuting both the Chicago mob and William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, flew to OKC to meet Jayna and her witnesses. Dave spent 12 hours grilling 14 of them on camera.
When he was finished, he told Jayna that, with just three of them, he would get a federal indictment of Hussain al-Hussaini in one day. FBI agent Dan Vogel told her he could do the same -- with one of her witnesses. That is how credible they were.
So why, Congressman Rohrbacher, did you tell Jayna that the committee has no budget to fly her to Washington, D.C.? What is the problem? Are we finally going to get the truth or is this grandstanding?
Andreas Carl Strassmeier has six witnesses saying that he was building a fence at the time of the bombing. He couldn't have been with McVeigh. Of 1100 fingerprints tied to the crime scene, none are Strassmeier's. Not one of 30,000 witnesses ties Strassmeier to the crime.
Here is a question for you, Congressman. Well, actually seven questions. Ten months ago, Jayna gave these to you in writing and still is waiting for the answers.
1. Why has the Justice Department/FBI not issued an official on-the-record statement exonerating Hussain Al-Hussaini of complicity in the Oklahoma City bombing? Has the DOJ provided Congress with Hussain Al-Hussaini’s whereabouts for the critical hours of the morning of April 19, 1995?
2. Why did the FBI never question Hussain Al-Hussaini about the bombing?
3. Why did the FBI previously suspect Al-Hussaini’s employer of ties to the Palestinian Liberation Organization?
4. Why were the original motel registration logs where witnesses testified McVeigh checked in with Al-Hussaini’s Iraqi cohort the evening of April 18, 1995, never returned to the establishment’s owner?
5. Whatever happened to the brown Chevrolet pickup that was seen carrying Middle Eastern suspects from the bomb site? The Oklahoma City police found fingerprints inside the recovered truck. Why were these prints not compared to the immigration files of the three Middle Eastern nationals whom witnesses observed in that getaway vehicle before, during, and after the bombing?
6. Why did the Bureau rebuff my efforts to surrender the witness statements and supporting evidence in September 1997? Why did the FBI withhold from the defense teams the twenty-two witness affidavits that I delivered to FBI Special Agent Dan Vogel in January 1999?
7. Why were the prior warnings issued by the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare that predicted an Islamic attack in the “heart of the U.S.” disregarded as an indicator of foreign participation?
Congressman Rohrbacher needs to bring Jayna and Schippers to meet with the committee in closed session. The committee needs to see the on camera interviews of 14 eye witnesses. It needs to be done in closed session to protect the witnesses. They stepped forward as patriots facing great risk.
The real story of OKC should have been told long ago. Let's finally get it told now. Bill Clinton did not want to deal with Middle East terror on our soil. He wanted this to be domestic terror. That is what he got. Who are those deep inside the FBI who are responsible for continuing the coverup?
The truth about OKC will forever end any remaining legacy of the impeached William Jefferson Blythe Clinton. Had he dealt with OKC, 9-11 could have been prevented. He ignored Middle East terror, created the vast right wing conspiracy, and his Kool-Aid drinkers dug in their heels. He would be held accountable for nothing. They stood with him no matter what because they had to fight the dreaded right wing. That is how Clinton divided America as never before.
If anyone would like to join me in calling the congressman, he is at (202) 225-2415.
Whoops. The peanut butter torture was at Guantanamo.
--- Of course, countless abuses have been committed against war prisoners throughout the ages - no one denies that. But, while not downplaying their suffering, it must be admitted that even the most unfortunate of these victims can only breathe a sigh of relief that he was not subject to what Mr. Abbasi was forced to endure when he:
had his peanut butter eaten by a guard "right in front of him".
One needn't be a bleeding heart to shudder at the inhumanity thus displayed.

After seeing Padilla's photo, someone surmised that he looked at lot like the sketch of John Doe 2. Totally bogus. There is loads of eye witness testimony, however, about Hussain Al-Hussaini. Unfortunately, it has been kept from the public.
I exposed three or four years ago that food service trucks were able to get onto the airport without going through security. Who knows what they were loading onto the plane.
I'm sorry; I've seen so many people who absolutely belittle any possible connection that I'm suspicious.
You've done an admirable summary and I thank you for it.
Personally, I think that although Padilla looks like John Doe #2, there is too much compelling evidence that it was Al-Husseini.
ROFL. Thanks for that info; I hadn't heard about the peanut at any location and think that's absolutely hilarious and just further evidence that we've lost our collective minds in this country.
And Ashcroft was sure in a hurry to stick McVeigh with the needle.
Best case scenario is they covered it up for "good" reasons.
After 9-11, it had to remain covered.
See #237 for my analysis of why this administration covered it up. Clinton's reasons are self evident; it was far too much fun for him to blame Rush Limbaugh and "hate radio".
The FBI covered up the crater from the truck bomb with eight sheets of plywood (a 16-foot square) to -- according to FBI's OKC SAIC, Danny Defenbaugh --"protect evidence that was water-soluble".
Where's the coverup?
How's that for starters on a literal "cover-up"?
Yes, Peach, I have her book next to my bed. It is very eye-opening, to say the least. Victor Mordecai also talks in his books about the ME connection to the OKC bombing and TWA Flight 800.
This has definitely gone beyond the bounds of "Reynolds Wrap". To think that our government just rolled over on this--and continues to while we have these savages stalking us, waiting for the right moment to strike again-- makes me sick.
I didn't know that. (Or if I did, I'd forgotten). The FBI used to be good at its job but have gotten so sloppy in the last 10-20 years that I have zero faith in their ability.
Did you know that Mueller refuses to say the words terrorism and Middle Eastern extremists in the same sentence? He's a Muslim sympathizer, imo.
I'll go with that PLUS the "We didn't want to create a panic and show we were vulnerable in the heartland".
I never heard of Victor Mordecai; I'll have to google him after "24" which starts here in a few minutes.
Yup. That's what it will take. And even then, in the current climate, I'm not sure people still won't be pointing fingers instead of getting down to business.
Definitely. The political protection was just for starters. The Congressional anti-terrorism specialist (Bodansky) told Congress before the blast that the ME was planning a terrorist attack in the heartland and would use lily whites; law enforcement didn't do a thing to beef up security as far I've ever been able to tell.
What's it going to take? A city or port a smoking ruin, that's what. If the WTC attack didn't do it for the public, something worse will, and someting worse is coming. Make book on it.
P.S.: Shows you there's more good sense here on FR than the entire MSM. They are, if anything, more clueless, lazy, PC, self-serving, and gutless than many in gov.
