After examining the known facts, the most likely explanation that is consistent with what we know to be true is that the OKC bombing was an attempt by U.S. intelligence assets to infiltrate the Middle Eastern terrorist network that was and is at war with the U.S.

Numerous "domestic" terrorist" groups had been heavily infiltrated by federal operatives for years. Federal operatives inside these domestic organizations may have orchestrated an alliance with the Middle Eastern terrorist cells operating in the U.S. to gain intelligence information on Middle Eastern terrorists.

An intelligence asset attempting to infiltrate a terrorist organization would not gain the confidence of the leaders of the organization without killing people. In my opinion, a decision was made at the highest level to sacrifice the victims in Oklahoma in order for one or more intelligence operatives to move up in the terrorist network. In addition, by focusing blame on the people disturbed by Waco, Clinton could achieve a domestic political "victory" with the cover of a "legitimate" intelligence operation and invoke National Security to insure Congress and the Courts went along (as well as a Governor).

For folks in Washington, losing the Murrah Building may have been necessary to gain intelligence to prevent a potential attack on the political infrastructure. Please consider a "dirty" bomb exploding outside the Capitol Building during a State of the Union address and the effect on our elected leaders. This is the nightmare scenario our intelligence community is expected to defend against. I reject the sacrifice of innocent civilians for whatever the purpose and believe the operation should be exposed for what it was and those responsible should be held accountable. The failures that began in OKC resulted in the attack on 9-11.

The following is a transcript of a telephone conversation between a local rescue worker and survivor of the bombing(W) and a not-identified man (C). According to the Oklahoma Bombing Investigation Final Report, the actual tape recording will be given to Congressional investigators in the event they choose to investigate the Oklahoma City Bombing.

TRANSCRIPT OF CALL

“C:” is the man calling the eyewitness, “W:”

C: ---- which would allow McVeigh to get away, and then arrest him later on. I don’t think they expected the truck to blow up.

I believed, and I’ve believed this for a long time --- I believe that number two, John Doe #2 , was a Federal agent working undercover. And I believe that he helped McVeigh steal the goods and helped buy the equipment, and I believe that he helped McVeigh make the bomb, and I believe his whole task in this whole thing, his only real task was to render the device safe so that the Federal agents could pretend to remove it and move in. They did not want to move in until he was cleared of the scene so that they wouldn’t tip their hands. See what I’m saying?

And the odds are pretty good the whole reason behind that is because they were after someone bigger than McVeigh which means they probably think he was linked to somebody in the militia movement or something like that.

So I think what you’re saying. You know I understand what you’re saying. But I don’t think you see the big picture. I don’t think that you know

I’d only divulge a look at the big picture if that’s the actual scenario. If that’s the actual scenario, which I believe it to be, I think there really is no claim that the agent, that was John Doe #2, did not render the bomb safe. Which he very well may have rendered the bomb safe, and then McVeigh may have put in a second fail-safe which he didn’t know about. Which is probably what’s happened.

Because if they knew the truck was loaded with bombs, and they’d go off, they would have evacuated the building. The only reason they wouldn’t have, was if they had prior knowledge that the bombs were rendered safe. Which is probably the situation here.

W: Uh. Okay

C: I would bet money on that’s, in fact, the way this whole thing came down. Yes they stood out in front of the building. Yes, they followed him directly to the building. Yes, they watched him get out of the building, get out of the truck . Yes, they watched him drive off. That’s not --- that was their plan. I don’t believe they ever planned to apprehend him anywhere near the building.

I believe that John Doe #2 was a Federal witness. His job was to render the device safe. Therefore, the only thing sitting out in front of that building was a bomb, a truck loaded with a bomb that would not go off. And I think that’s the situation. In fact I know it is.

W: Okay. So why didn’t they just come out and explain that to everybody?

C: Public does not have to know that. When it comes to the national security and things like this, the public does not know, the public is not required to know.

First of all, by doing that, they wouldn’t have, uh, put their witness, which is the Federal agent John Doe #2, they would have blown his cover, first of all. Which possibly he’s involved in something right now that you have no idea about.

You know there very well may have been numerous plots involving numerous buildings. See what I’m saying? You don’t have the whole picture, without full knowledge, and what you do may cost them their lives. You should be very aware

W: Okay. Well, that’s what I’ve being trying to be very careful of. I don’t want to see anyone else get hurt. At the same time

C: Well, if that guy’s cover’s been blown, he’s dead already.

W: Do you think so?

C: Sure. I’m sure. Once you have gone up to this point, it has gotten out, which I’m sure it has, because there are moles every where . The chances are good that he’s been terminated already and this whole thing has blown up in their face. I don’t believe that, out of an act of negligence, these highly trained professionals would have allowed that man to leave that truck out in front of that building with it’s live bomb in it.

W: No, no, no. It stood out there for the whole time, from the time it pulled up until that went off.

C: That’s what I’m saying. They would not have allowed it. The only reason they allowed that truck to sit there so long, is because in my opinion they were under the impression that that bomb was rendered safe. And I’d say that there was no rush, there was no reason to evacuate the building. There was no rush to make an arrest. The truck was just going to sit out there until they went and towed it off.

So I don’t think they thought it was an emergency and I think either that John Doe #2 made a mistake in rendering the bomb safe, or McVeigh was smart enough to plant a second fail-safe, which most bomb makers do.

W: Do you think that’s why they didn’t tell anybody?

C: No

W: Well

C: Exactly, the bomb was safe as far as they knew.

W: Okay. Well, that explains why there was so many of them there so fast.

C: Exactly. They followed him to the building, their agent was in the truck with him when they followed him to the building, every thing was under control, so far as they thought. As far as they thought, all they had was the man who built the bomb that was going to go off, because the agent rendered it safe. And their whole thing was not a problem. Let him drive his truck right in front of his target, allowed him to drive off.

Once he drives off, he renders the truck safe . And then we can have the chauffeur arrested on the interstate for bogus charges, which they did. And this was all planned out one hundred percent. I, I don’t believe they allowed that truck

W: You don’t think they intentionally let the bomb go off ?

C: No, that’s right. I’ll never believe that.

W: Well, I mean, that’s the only thing about this that I found so hard to believe.

C: They, they thought the bomb was safe. They thought their agent, who was in the truck and who helped prepare the bomb, would set it so it would not go off. Now, whether McVeigh went back to the truck, where the agent did not know, and put a second fail safe? The agent made a mistake and did not actually render the bomb safe like he was supposed to. That’s what’s going on here.

W: Well, see, that’s it then. I wanted someone that would be able to tell us for a fact if this was like, deliberate or not. You know what I’m saying?

C: I’m not going to tell you that. Let me tell you something. I’m sure they had --- everything was under surveillance, under surveillance there. So I’m sure they do have audio tapes of them saying, Let them go, let them go. Wait, wait, there was no rush in their mind. In their mind, there was no rush to get that truck away from that building. Because that building, that bomb, was not supposed to go off.

Therefore, every thing they did fits, if you think about it. They followed it, they allowed it to drive up there knowing that there was a bomb in the truck. Their idea was to let John Doe #2, the Federal agent --- And they would be able to use him in further investigations of these bombings, of these groups that are in militia groups. And this was a perfect entry in, because he could have went through there.

After McVeigh was arrested, John Doe #2 would have become a hero to the cause of the militias. And the militias would have taken him in and hid him, which would have made him part of the infrastructure of the militias. Which is what their goal was for this whole thing, was to bust the militias.

If you take the big picture, and look at the big picture, there were very few mistakes made on this sting operation. With the exception that John Doe #2, the Federal agent, did not render the bomb safe. Just think of it this way, (name of W: spoken)

W: I’ve always been a big fan of the United States and that, but then I’ve always been --- this was the one thing that bothered me.

C: They didn’t let this building fall intentionally. Their opinion was that this bomb was rendered safe and this bomb would not go off. And their whole thing on this thing, if you think about it, makes sense from a tactical standpoint. You would follow the truck to the building. You allow your lead suspect to get away clean. Okay? Then you set up a deal where you take the truck away from the building because it didn’t blow up because it’s not supposed to.

You take John Doe #2. He gets away, which is your Federal agent. John Doe #1, McVeigh is arrested on a bogus charge and then later proven that he’s the one who planted the bomb that did not go off.

W: But you honestly don’t think that they really intended

C: Not at all. Not at all. They would not have . No.

W: Okay. Well see that was the only thing. Because, see I’d heard from the very beginning that they intended for the building to blow up.

C: These are dedicated professionals. I don’t believe that.

W: Oh well, see, all I’ve been wanting to hear is just someone to tell me that was an accident.

C: Basically, what happened is, this was a mistake. Someone screwed up and the only one that screwed --- the agents on the scene. They didn’t screw up. They did exactly what their orders were. Wait, allow the suspect to leave the scene. Once the suspect has left the scene, then render the truck safe., which is already safe. All they have to do is get in, give a hot-wire, and drive it off to a safe location and then open up the back and disarm the bomb, which was supposedly rendered safe to begin with. Okay?

W: Yeah, okay.

C: And then from there they charge in. See the plan? They allow John Doe #2 --- This plan was put in motion before the bomb ever went off. Their intent was to allow McVeigh to be arrested later on. John Doe #2 to get away. And then John Doe#2 --- the Federal government would have released a sketch or picture. And then, that man would have had to go underground and hide.

Where would he hide? He would have hid with the militias. The militias would take him in as a hero. The militias would give him hero status in the militia movement, which would allow him to be privy to information that the government could use later on.

W: Yeah, and it also could keep other people from being blown up, too.

C: That’s exactly correct.

W: That makes a lot more sense than anything I’ve ever heard.

C: I mean, if you think about it all --- and I know how these agents in these types of scenarios

W: But I hope you understand why, you know, well, because someone explain to me what had happened, you know, and I just couldn’t help but feel like, you know, that --- because I heard from these radical groups that they let the building blow up.

C: No. They did not want that building to blow up. I guarantee you this, their whole intent was that that bomb was rendered safe before it was ever parked in front of that ---- first available emergency --- otherwise, they would have quietly

W: Got everybody out of the building?

C: Got everybody out of the building, before the bomb ever being pulled up in front of the building. There was no reason for them to do that, because according to their plan, the bomb was safe now. There was no reason to evacuate the building and the panic --- because there was a truck loaded with a bomb that was not going to blow up.

W: Yeah, because it was just ammonium nitrate, right? And we have ammonium nitrate all over town.

C: Exactly. And their whole thing was John Doe #2, who helped him to build this bomb, was a Federal witness, a Federal agent. In his job, I’m sure he is a trained explosives expert. His job was to render the device safe. But something happened and there was a mistake made. Either he did not --- Either he thought he had rendered it safe and he did not, or he rendered it safe and later on after it was rendered safe, McVeigh went back to the truck and set a second time. Which is probably what’s happened.

W: Okay.

C: See what I’m saying? And John Doe #2

W: Why didn’t you talk to me about this a long time ago?

C: Well, I didn’t know that you’d be able to get this far with it. By going this far with it --- Let me explain something to you. Your actions have consequences. There are a lot of witnesses, there are a lot of agents right now in the hills that are infiltrating these militia groups and

W: Uh, huh. I will shut up. I will put a stop to it.

C: All these people will get killed. Their blood will be on your hands. I understand that you want --- If I really thought that the government allowed the building to blow up, I would be with you one hundred per cent. But I know

W: Okay. I give you my word. I will drop it right now. If you believe that (a man’s first name is spoken) --- Okay. If you believe it, then I’ll drop it right now.

C: I’ll just say that I appreciate your saying that. And I believe that’s the truth. They were horrified when the bomb went off, really horrified.

W: Yeah, they all looked like they were in shock.

C: They figured as soon as McVeigh got free, as soon as he got --- drove off his car --- And I’ll tell you another thing they did --- big deal. They did his car. You know what they did?

W: What?

C: They stole his license plate off that car. You know why?

W: Why?

C: So that they’d have probable cause to stop him on the interstate.

W: Oh. Okay.

C: They stole his plate. Why do you think the plate was never found? His plate was stolen from the vehicle and the Federal government stole the plate from the vehicle. So that he would be arrested, John Do #2 would go free, they would put a sketch out that would make him like “America’s Most Wanted.”

The only place that a man that would be wanted by the government can hide would be to be hid by the militia groups inside their infrastructure.

But once he infiltrates the infrastructure, and he’s in --- All of a sudden he’s a hero. And right now you know, these groups probably believe that they have John Doe#2 and that they’re hiding him from the government and they’re doing the patriotic thing. And they believe that the building should have blown up.

So they’re holding him. Now this man’s privy to all kinds of information about future bombings, which we don’t even know about how many bombs they have stopped because of the agents

W: Okay.

C: How many lives have been saved because that agent’s now in the militia? And, if this comes to light

W: Okay. Okay, let me. I’ll tell you what. Let me, let me cancel the meeting for tomorrow. Okay. Let me do it right now, let me do it right now, while I think of it.

C: Is it awkward?

W: No, no, no, no. Listen, you’re the only one that’s sat down and talked to me that made any sense. Cause up until now, I, I , I

C: Does it not make perfect sense?

W: Yes, it does. But let me stop it right now.

C: It makes perfect sense to me.

W: Okay. Let me stop it right now.

C: If I was the one who made the command decisions on it, that’s exactly how I would have handled it.

W: Okay. Well, let me stop it right now. Okay? Bye

Your theory is entirely plausible. Honway, thanks for your informative posts on OKC.

Hard Left's "Right-Wing" Kin

A version of the "phantom cell" design was used by accused bank robbers Richard Lee Guthrie and Peter Kevin Langan, who were arrested in January and charged with a two-year string of 18 bank robberies in seven states. Guthrie and Langan claimed to belong to an underground network called the "Aryan Republican Army." "If you ever have studied the IRA [Irish Republican Army], you will understand more about ... guerrilla organization," Guthrie told reporters from jail. "You will understand what is eventually coming to this country."

Guthrie also claimed that an April 1st bank robbery in Spokane, Washington was the work of a "phantom cell." The robbers, who were photographed wearing fatigues, left behind a note claiming to belong to the "Phineas Priesthood," a title conferred upon Aryan enforcers of "racial purity." As a diversion, the robbers detonated a pipe bomb at offices of the Spokane Spokesman-Review newspaper shortly before raiding the bank. "That was one of the cell groups," Guthrie told reporters. "I recognized it. All the patterns were correct."

To some, it will seem curious that members of a secretive underground movement would discuss their tactics so freely with a hostile press. But the case of Guthrie and Langan is fraught with such oddities. According to the Los Angeles Times, Richard Guthrie has been under Secret Service scrutiny since 1991, when he allegedly threatened then-President George Bush. To keep tabs on Guthrie, federal agents recruited a close friend to act as an informant -- none other than Peter Langan, whom the feds sprung from a Georgia jail cell in 1993. At the time, Langan was awaiting trial for robbery.

Guthrie is a court-martialed former sailor who left the Navy in 1983 after an unsuccessful attempt to join the elite Navy SEALs. Langan, whose father was a CIA officer, has listed his occupation as "revolutionary" on financial affidavits. In the apartment the duo rented in Columbus, Ohio, investigators found pipe bombs, handguns, police uniforms, wigs, and a self-produced videotape entitled The Aryan Republican Army Presents: The Armed Struggle Underground. A masked figure in the video describes the group's objectives: "Eliminate the government, from the federal government to the county seats. Exterminate Hymie [a derogatory reference to Jews]. Repatriate all non-whites to their homes. Return the country to the Bible...."

Scripted Role?

Although the press has had access to Guthrie, Langan is being held in isolation at an undisclosed location. He narrowly missed death in the gun battle that took place during his January 18th arrest, when one of the shots fired at him by federal agents grazed his scalp. According to his attorney, Langan believes that his arrest was actually an assassination attempt and that his earlier dealings with the feds have led to his present problems. Though this contention is entirely self-serving, the accumulated oddities in the matter of Guthrie and Langan might reasonably provoke the suspicion that they were playing a scripted role.

The robberies for which Guthrie and Langan stand accused netted an estimated $500,000, at least half of which is believed to have been funneled to remnants of the "Order," a terrorist offshoot of the Aryan Nations which conducted its own campaign of robbery, counterfeiting, and murder in the mid-1980s. Robert Matthews, who organized and led the Order, perished in a standoff with federal officials on Washington's Whidbey Island in December 1984.
