Sunday June 30, 2002; 12:21 a.m. EDT Report: 'Lily Whites' Recruited to Carry Out OKC Bombing A congressional task force investigating the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing had information suggesting that Islamic plotters recruited two "lily whites" - non-Middle Easterners with no connection to prior terrorist activity - to carry out the attack ultimately perpetrated by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, according to a report broadcast late Saturday. Terrorism expert Yoseff Bodansky discussed the previously secret evidence obtained by Congress during an interview with Fox News Channel's Rita Cosby. COSBY: I'm going to read some information that we obtained here at Fox News - something else you wrote that, more importantly, that the congressional task force learned: That two "lily whites" - these are people sort of considered non-Middle Easterners - had been recruited to carry out the bombing of an American federal building. BODANSKY: "Lily whites" are people that have no - nothing to do with ethnic background, that's not true. "Lily whites" is the term used for people who have no past known encounter with security authorities anywhere in the U.S. or anywhere in the world. And therefore, there's no way they will raise an alarm bell with the security authorities once they're involved in something. COSBY: So these are people who would sort of be out of the scope? BODANSKY: It can be somebody from the heart of Africa, somebody from the middle of Australia or anywhere else. (End of Excerpt) Couple Bodansky comments with a report on Judicial Watch Radio last week, where Judicial Watch co-counsel Mike Johnson detailed a very specific warning that came just hours before the OKC bombing from Washington, D.C.'s then-top terrorism expert. "Vincent Cannistraro, who is the former Chief of Counter-Terrorism for the CIA, called Special (FBI) Agent Kevin L. Foust, and informed him that one of his best sources from Saudi Arabia intelligence specifically advised him that there was a squad of people currently in the United States, very possibly Iraqi, and I'm quoting, 'who have been tasked with carrying out terrorist acts against the United States,'" said Johnson. "The Saudi informant, who's part of the Saudi Counter-Terrorism Service, told him that he had seen the list and that 'first on the list was the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.'" Johnson said other targets on the Saudi informant's list included Immigration of Naturalization Service offices in Houston and what was then the FBI's counterterrorism headquarters in Los Angeles.
"The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter,
But my will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter..."
"These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
...people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess."
"The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I'd figured out
I have to learn again."
Pretty bleak, but Don Henley's a prophet, if you ask me.
He also wrote a song called "The Garden of Allah," which was NOT a testament to Islam.
If you've never heard it before, read the lyrics (written around 1989). It will give you the chills.
(And THINK dammit!)
*He* wrote it to CONVINCE the others that they WERE returning!
REMEMBER the accounts how some of the HIJACKERS apparently DIDN'T KNOW about the suicide aspect of this missison?
(Think dammit! I can't do it ALL for you people!)
Had ANYTHING been 'withheld' as you claim - McVeigh would have HAD A NEW TRIAL!
(Think dammit!)
Is this conspiracy theory #4 or #5 ... I've lost track.
Charges planted inside the building, white supremecists from Elohim city (THAT'S a riot! Imagine WS's 'helping out' on a muti-racial operation - YOU GUYS ARE TOO FUNNY!).
THEN there was the 'Iraq' angle - changed over to the Al Quida angle!
Oh, BTW - I SEE Glenn Beck has DROPPED this like a HOT POTATO.
HE NEVER DID his bit LAST THURSDAY on the OKC Bombing.
I wonder why ...
A) conspiracy theorists or
B) a credentialled doctor?
I think you'd choose A) ...
I'll take ANY number of practiced, educated, qualified, certified Civil Engineer's opinions over crack-pot, hair-ball, wild-eyed, impossible 'theories' publlished by a cadre of hucksters with nothing more than a website as a 'credential'.
The bottom line is - YOU PEOPLE are TOO easily taken in and HOSED ROYALLY by these un-principled HUCKSTERS.
THANK GOD these 'hucksters' don't do (they couldn't!) any serious engineering or construction projects!!!
It took hundreds of people, millions of dollars and dozens of locations around the world to put this operation together.It took *several* dedicated individuals, money for lodging and some limited flight training and one INDIVIDUAL, in particular (Atta), to pull this off.
It *really* took *no* smarts across some MASSIVE organization to be able to accomplish this!
HAD these people been COMPETENT at ALL - I would have expected A DOZEN or more of these suicide misissons. But OBVIOUSLY there wasn't.
AS it was - only TWO out of FOUR hit their OBJECTIVE.
The OTHER TWO had B-Team players on board.
Actually, the 4th had C-Team level players on board.
The ONLY sharp knives were the TOP players in each of the WTC bound airliners - Atta and I forget the other.
AND I say these guys were extremely lucky - ALL it really took was SKILL at 'steering' a jet airliner ...
AND THAT may have have been done via the AUTOPILOT, waypoints and real-time position determinaiton via GPS.
So REALLY, the bottom-line answer can be that NO SKILL at all was required EXCEPT punching in WAYPOINTS into the flight computer!
You PEOPLE **REALLY** need to get out more and get some SYSTEMS EXPERIENCE under your belts!
How does 400,000 to 800,000 -- in our country -- potential killers sound?I'll wager there are ZERO (as evidenced by what they TRY adn PULL - which is NOTHING).
We're DONE with this terror-thing IMO.
If ANYTHING - a MASSIVE EFFORT should have been pulled that SAME morning on 9/11
- it's KINDA LATE NOW for these guys to go UN-NOTICED (ya think?).
If anything - these people made a MAJOR BLUNDER in PLANNING in not taking ADVANTAGE of the ELEMENT of SURPRISE!
(Think people!)
" FRAUDULENT COURT RECORDS "
I think not.
YOU, however, have fallen VICTIM to the CONSPIRACY and HYPERBOLE surrounding this event.
Of course, the 'sane' stuff is so hard to find with all this conspiracy crap occupying the bandwidth/billboard space.
THAT I will guarantee ...
Want to take a real trip into KOOK-doom?
Stroll on over to Conspiracy Nation dot com.
YOU WILL FIND THE MOST HAIR-BALL THEORIES ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
I kid you not ..
