Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that reporter Jayna Davis will be my special guest on the DFU Radio Hour on FreeRepublic Radio this week. The show is Thursday at 6:00 PM. Do not miss this show!
For those who have been in a cocoon, Jayna is the indefatigable journalist who has kept up the pressure for our government to reveal the truth about the Oklahoma City bombing. No journalist in this country knows more about the bombing and the coverup.
Get your questions ready and they will be relayed to her. It is time we help Jayna in the battle. Hey, maybe FreeRepublic will get a little credit when she finally gets that Pulitzer.

The main significance is that I am guessing you haven't read the threads linked on the OKC Bombing Roundup. If you had, you may be more concerned about the harm done to this nation and to individuals by the unlawful FBI cover up of the Middle Eastern terrorist participation in the OKC bombing.
What do you think is more significant here:
Middle Eastern terrorists harmed U.S. citizens.
The FBI covered up for Middle Eastern terrorists so they could remain free and kill again.
Is any of this sinking in? How about the kill again part?
I can guarantee you there will be no obsessing about the FBI cover up in the interview.
I am interested to know what your method is.
Just listen to her. Do you think for one minute that anyone could marginalize her? And if they can't marginalize her, they can't marginalize her message, can they? Why do you think she has so much credibility?
Because she avoids emotionalizing the issue. She sticks to the facts. She avoids rants. She does what a good reporter does and focuses on the facts instead of trying to place blame.
Great show, Doug.
what I heard was great!
I'll be looking for the archives to hear it all!
thanx doug & jayna.
Nap attack!
I believe OKCSubmariner was in the heart of the investigation and gave us a lot of information we wouldn't have had otherwise. Unfortunately, he also posted a lot of stuff that he later admitted was his opinion and that he didn't clearly label as opinion to differentiate between his suspicions and what he could prove. However earnest, honest and courageous he is, that did muddy the waters and hamper acceptance of what was true.
BDD OTOH has apparently been proven to be a liar, although he also was proven to be a genuine part of the investigation as he claimed. The first really big alarm went off for me when BDD began to attack OKCS after they had mostly reinforced each other previously. For a while I didn't know who/what to believe. Was BDD suddenly turned (threats, money, GKW?), or was he originally set up to be the story killer? (Much as I regard Magic Bullet's job.) First you have to establish yourself as a reliable friendly, then you destroy the movement.
Honway has done formidable research and documentation, but has a habit of attacking other researchers for understating their cases/evidence. When I think of what Officer Yeakey and others like him have paid for having greater courage in the effort to expose the truth, it's hard to argue on behalf of wafflers.
OTOH I know from experience that if you smack somebody in the face with a full fledged conspiracy, they tune you out and avoid you (or at least political subjects with you) in the future. Bottom line: story is killed. Personally, when I've started with smaller establishing facts and gradually worked to conclusions, I've done better at getting people to think about certain issues.
Jayna Davis has stuck with ONLY the facts she has researched herself and which she can back up. I think that's a good idea. OTOOH it looks like she has pooh-poohed some inescapable conclusions. Not good IMO. Better would be to just plain refuse to speculate or draw conclusions, but just keep plugging her evidence.
I thought thinden's questions were great and I was hoping we'd hear on this thread how/if they were answered. I find it hard to criticize those who hold peoples' feet to the fire because they sometimes expose phonies. I also find it hard to criticize those who have worked hard to get the truth out, suffering career damage and sometimes physical fear in the process, but who soften their positions perhaps because of that fear.
Officer Yeakey is an example in more than one way IMO. I honestly don't know what I'd do if I were on that spot.
