Book Bucks Bombing Theories
NewsOK.com ^ | November 24, 2007 | Nolan Clay

Posted on 11/24/2007 7:04:14 AM PST by John W

A retired FBI deputy director reveals in a new book that a team of agents re-examined the Oklahoma City bombing case because of a resurgence in conspiracy theories in 2004 but found no new leads to check out.

"Their finding?” Weldon Kennedy wrote. "All participants and conspirators in the OKBOMB case were identified in the original investigation. There was no credible information uncovered indicating otherwise nor was there any avenue of investigation neglected.”

Kennedy, 69, oversaw the FBI's investigation of the bombing in the first couple of months after the attack on April 19, 1995. He spoke for the FBI at news conferences in Oklahoma City that were broadcast across the country.

He wrote about his experience in Oklahoma City in a memoir, "On-Scene Commander.”

Kennedy retired from the FBI in 1997 but told The Oklahoman he learned of the re-examination of the bombing case "through my continuing association with contemporaries in the FBI and so forth.”

"I've not seen any of the documents ... but I'm told that that review was very comprehensive and quite conclusive that there was ... no lead, no avenue unexplored, in the entire case,” he said in a telephone interview.

In his book and the interview, Kennedy was critical of conspiracy theorists who say the FBI didn't catch everyone involved.

"There's no possible way there were other conspirators,” he wrote. "I can say with total confidence that we identified all three conspirators in the case and arrested them.”

The dark-haired man of swarthy complexion that accompanied McVeigh at the Ryder rental office, and was seen walking away from the bomb-laden truck after it was parked under the Murrah building simply did not exist. He was a poltergeist, or something of like substance.
And Nichols’ several trips to consult with men of like appearance in the Phillipines were just sight-seeing jaunts.

I would love to get a few beers into one of the Loizeaux family and find out what they thought of the building's construction.

Many think he was this guy:

José Padilla (born October 18, 1970), also known as Abdullah al-Muhajir or Muhajir Abdullah, is a United States citizen convicted of aiding terrorists. Padilla was arrested in Chicago on May 8, 2002, and was detained as a material witness until June 9, 2002, when President Bush designated him an illegal enemy combatant and transferred him to a military prison, arguing that he was thereby not entitled to trial in civilian courts. However, on January 3, 2006, he was transferred to a Miami, Florida, jail to face criminal conspiracy charges. José Padilla was found guilty of all charges against him on August 16, 2007, by a federal jury, which found that he conspired to kill people in an overseas jihad and to fund and support overseas terrorism. He is scheduled to be sentenced on December 5, 2007.

If I recall, John Doe #2 would have to be playing tricks with several different peoples’ memories at different times.

Wasn’t he with them at a diner and also with them answering the door at a hotel room?

They also insisted for months that the Tampa Teen Terrorist (kamikaze pilot) had an accident and was not engaging in an act of terrorism despite the suicide note in his pocket beginning with the phrase the terrorist act I am about to commit (or some such, later the word terrorist was scratched out by someone, Bishra or someone else) and pledging support for Bin Laden.

He’d also made a threat in the note against the Super Bowl and perhaps that is why the letter was suppressed until after the big game. But they knowingly lied to the American public about a domestic (weak) terrorist attack.

Didn’t they also cover up the DC Snipers’ messages at first proclaiming jihad?

Of what possible interest is a new conspiracy book that denies all conspiracies except the official version? Is there no creative genius left since the Hollywood writers are on strike?

For no other reason than the sweeping absolutes he uses in his case-closed hyperbole, this guy discredits himself.

even if only slightly. Very well said.

Very interesting.

Was Nichols' wife Marife investigated? She must have known what was going on.

Conspiracy theories sometimes make more sense if you look for a "greed" motive rather than some other nefarious plot.

Very good point.

~~~
Yes,,,from what I have learned,,,she was,,,But,,,

That is more of the info that was swept under the rug,,,

She is in this up to her eyeballs,,,

She is/was the connection to the Abu Sayef cell in the

Philippines visited by Terry Nichols,,,

Ramzi Yousef and Khalid Mohammed were members of this cell,,

Those two assclowns,McVeigh and Nichols,couldn’t have built

a firecracker without help from the moozzis...

The story is always the same.

Something terrible happens (during the Clinton Adminstration)

A Clinton appointed ‘head’ of some agency investigates.

Years later, that same person writes a book about it, which is published by a clandestinely funded book publisher.

Then the ‘retired’ so and so comes out in a newspaper interview and claims the story is still true.

1. Sell the story
2. Retire
3. Sell a book.
4. Sell the re-investigation
5. Sell an interview to the newspapers
6. Live nicely off the money put in your Swiss bank account from the Clinton’s siphoning off of federal funds.

I noticed that in the different ‘suicide’ investigations where the FBI was involved, the same ‘expert’ was called in.
He was known in FBI circles and Clinton Admin circles as “THE FIXER”.
