Heilemann: Trump's War On Media "Incitement" For An Oklahoma City Bombing Posted By Ian Schwartz On Date February 20, 2017

Former Bloomberg TV host John Heilemann said Monday on MSNBC's Morning Joe that he is worried that President Trump is inciting "elements in our country that may go ahead and do something" on the scale of the Oklahoma City bombing. Heilemann is afraid that when Trump calls the media the "enemy of the people," that someone may take that "seriously" and use it as a motive to commit an act of domestic terror.

"He has been waging war on the press for a while but I have to say this language is really, you know, far outside... of what is the standard Republican playbook," Heilemann said.

"I think most of the people at this table were alive, politically conscious, at the time of the Oklahoma City bombings," Heilemann said Monday. "And every time that Donald Trump uses this kind of language I kind of worry that it's an incitement to elements in our country that may go ahead and do something when the president of the United States calls the press the enemy of the people and they might take that seriously."

Eric Holder involved.

If the swamp is drained, justice will be served.

Typical! A crack-pot blames the messenger for identifying those undermining our heritage of achievement. Pathetic, but predictable to be sure.

Are we simply supposed to pretend those lying about our heritage and smearing those seeking to defend it, are just engaging in honest debate?

[ Jayna Davis,s “The Third Bomber” (isbn 0-7852-5103-6)has a much larger look at the OKC Bombing, and it would be a shame to let a liberal idiot use the bombing without the real connections of the Clinton Justice Department’s coverup of the presence and guidance of a network of Iraqis in the bombing of the Arthur B. Murrah Federal building. A Iraqi, Hussain Al-Hussaini,was seen running from the Murrah building at 5:30 the morning of the bombing, yet Atty. Gen. Reno never allowed agents to question those witnesses. In the aftermath of 9/11,FBI Special Agent Dan Vogel stated, information the Jayna Davis had gathered on the OKC bombing and the secret network of Iraqi military veterans of the Gulf War could have prevented 9/11.These military trained explosives experts were brought here under Clinton’s International Rescue Committee, a organization that brought Iraqi soldiers to the USA in order to help them get a new life. DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR? ]

Hmm, makes you wonder if the vast majority of Terror attack were not false flags ( in the conventional sense ) but deliberate “looking the other way” to ALLOW & subtle FACILITATION for the attacks to take place for maximum plausible deniability though the lens of “General Incompetence” of government agencies...

The American people in general are simply too good to commit horrible terrorist attacks so the power structure, the “shadow government” needed to “outsource the terrorism” at least for OKC and blame it on internal groups... would I be surprised if this were the case, nope... not at all...

Republican playbook = bend over backwards and apologize profusely for anything that may be even slightly taken out of context.

And this is a big reason why the MSM is not taken seriously, but also hated. Stupid political exaggerations, talk of impending doom (women and children hurt, etc.) if it doesnt get its way, and giving aid and comfort to America’s enemies (both foreign and domestic).
