"Why should the Bush Department of Justice be so uptight about this investigation? After all, Janet Reno was attorney general at the time and attempted to craft the investigation to please Bill Clinton. Yet it was Attorney General John Ashcroft who refused to delay the execution of McVeigh and who has refused to countenance reopening the investigation."

Can you say blackmail with the FBI files?
There, I thought you could.

More important, prior to the bombing, McVeigh made several long telephone calls a day to her number in the Philippines.

Lots of info in this article.

DING. Having information on your enemies is no good to you unless they KNOW you have information and aren't quite sure what it is. They did this in plain sight.

The FBI will NEVER go back to the OKC investigation! They know exactly what happened. They knew from their inside informants exactly what would happen and were prepared to stop it is a 'photo op. The chiefs from Dallas and DC were late abd they never believed that the little truck bomb would do so much damage. Of course, they never read the report from the ATF about their explosives depot in the building.

The FBI will NEVER reveal that the 3,000 pages discovered weeks before McVeigh's execution was nothing more than a decoy to avaoid revealing the 15,000 still hidden pages that clearly show thay they knew what would happen and could have stopped it.

Reporters might want to check the boxes in the garage of the Dallas Agent in Charge wh recently retired and took file dups with him, as "protection." No, Freeh will own up to the murders in Waco before they'll revisit OKC.

"According to Manila investigators, Marife Torres Nichols knew the contact person for the Abu Sayyaf Islamic terrorists who had links to Osama bin Laden. More important, prior to the bombing, McVeigh made several long telephone calls a day to her number in the Philippines. "

MArife Torres and her sister knew Wali Khan Amin Shah in the Phillipines and introduced Terry Nichols to Wali Khan. Khan later introduced Nichols to Ramzi Yousef(10993 WTC bombing) in the Phillipines. Wali Khan was extemely close personally to Bin Laden and helped set up Abu Sayeff in the Phillipines for Bin Laden.

Khan was one of the men behind (he financed the group and Abu Sayeff))the planning and meetings for the OKC bombing in the Phillipines involving Nichols, Ramzi Yousef, John Lebney,Abdul Murad and Khalid Mohammed. Khan was also involved in the planning to crash hijacked airliners into US scyscrapers and the Pentagon (shades of 9/11)that was on Ramzi yousef's computer and revealed by interrogation of Khan in 1996 by the FBI and by Murad in Feb 1995. Khan was involved in two plots to assasinate Clinton and one plot to kill the Pope.

One of The plots to assassinate CLinton supported by Khan and Bin Laden is beleived to be related to FBI foreknowledge and the linguists the FBI requested to come to OKC from the military right before and after the OKC bombing. Alss Peter Langan, was taken out of jail by the FBI and Secret Service in late 1994 to infiltrate groups and individuals believed associated with MCveigh who were plotting to assassinate CLinton (Bin LAden and domestic teror groups working together in the US). At least that is what the Secret Service and FBI told the authorities in Georgia when Lanagan was taken out of jail.

Khalid was a mastermind behind 1993 WTC, OKC and 9/11 attacks. There are three witnesses in OKC I am told who now say that a well dressed man named Khalid escorted the Iraqi suspect to OKC in Nov 1994 from Boston to work with McVeigh.BlueDogDemo reported on FR last year that Khalid was paid by the Iraqi (Hussaini)suspect's employer, Samir Kahlil, three times in OKC.

MCveigh could have called and spoken to Murad,Khan,Khalid Mohammed or Ramzi Youseff in the Phillipines prior to the bombing.

Something that struck me about this article -- in "American Terrorist," McVeigh claimed to have had an affair with Marife Nichols, something she denied to the authors.

It almost appears as if he was trying to cover all the bases.

If any of them can be blackmailed, they should be gone.

You forgot Ruby Ridge and a lot of other stuff.

It seems that everything is covered up. The new guy covers up for the old guy.

Must be a guy thang.

Well, yes.

But always vote Republican, they are better than the Democrats.

What's astounding to me is that this thread has only fifteen posts in almost 12 hours. I know it's the holiday weekend, but, to my mind, this story is the mother of all stories. The story being that the Bush "Administration" is in league with a cabal of power mongers who operate the real government of the U.S. And FreeRepublic is one of the primary sources where this story is available. We can't let the flame under this kettle go out, because if it goes cold, we may not survive the "Anschluss" waiting in the shadows.

I know you are, and I admire your industry. You are part of the backbone of FR and I have profited from your postings for a long time. My thanks to you, backhoe. By the way, are you a Ford or a John Deere?
