can. The Oklahoma City police and the FBI have confirmed there is another

- 2. Forget the people, get those papers
-
- OKLAHOMA CITY -- Hours after a bomb ripped apart
the federal building, some rescue workers were stopped from searching
for survivors while federal officials removed boxes of documents.
-
- "You'd think they would have let their evidence
and files sit at least until the last survivor was pulled out,"
one angry rescue worker told The News.
-
- The worker and a firefighter said that 10 to 12
hours after the 9 a.m. blast April 19, federal officials began limiting
the number of rescue workers in the building to a dozen, confining them
largely to the lower right side of the battered structure.

- 3. FBI quietly drops pursuit of John Doe No. 2
-
- Denver, Colo. -- An internal FBI memo indicates FBI agents
suspended their search for the elusive Oklahoma City bomb suspect John
Doe No. 2 in the critical weeks soon after the April 1995 blast, belying
assurances by federal officials at the time that the search was continuing.
-
- The memo, the existence of which is publicly disclosed
for the first time here, undercuts the government contention that federal
agents have done everything they can to find the mystery suspect...
-
- In the memo, San Francisco-based FBI agent Thomas Ravenelle
writes that he's discontinuing efforts to investigate a lead relating to
attempts to find and identify John Doe No. 2 "in view of the fact
that the Oklahoma City Command Post has directed all offices to hold (John
Doe No. 2) leads in abeyance."

- 4. McVeigh's first confession faked by newspaper
-
- "The document containing a purported confession
by alleged Oklahoma City bomber Timothy J. McVeigh, published by the
Dallas Morning News, was fabricated by an investigator for the defense
team, a friend of the investigator said yesterday."

- 5. DOJ report calls FBI's OJC bomb blast conclusions:
"incomplete... inappropriate... scientifically insupportable"
-
- "Williams' report contains several serious flaws.
His opinion as to the VOD of the main charge was unjustifiable; his statement
of the VOD of ANFO was incomplete; his categorical identification of the
main charge as ANFO was inappropriate; his estimate of the weight of the
main charge was too specific and based in part on improper grounds; his
conclusion as to the containers for the main charge was unjustifiably categorical;
his categorical identification of the initiator for the booster was improper;
his conclusions concerning a non-electric detonator, the fuse, and the
time delay were scientifically insupportable; his conclusions were not
supported by the contents of the report; and he included some AE dictation
in a selective or confusing way. These errors were all tilted in such a
way as to incriminate the defendants. We are troubled that the opinions
in Williams' report may have been tailored to conform to the evidence associated
with the defendants. We conclude that Williams failed to present an objective,
unbiased, competent report."

- ============================
-
- * A timely terrorist
-
- He wanted to start a revolution, but even with years
of prison to sort out his thoughts he never found the time to write even
the briefest of manifestos. Fellow inmates said he spent his time reading
car magazines.
-
- He wanted to protest the murder of innocent women and
children - so he murdered innocent women and children.
-
- He was a crack marksman, good enough to reportedly haven
taken the head off an Iraqi soldier in a machine gun nest at 1,000 yards
- but he chose a complex truck bomb, something he had no training or experience
with, to deliver his violent message.
-
- Tim McVeigh was a most convenient and cooperative terrorist.
-
- The government wanted the world to believe that a single
truck bomb loaded with fertilizer destroyed the Murrah Building - and at
the end of his life, McVeigh apparently told two journalists that the story
was true. That he lit the fuse personally in traffic while on the way to
the building. You can read all about it in the mass market book that came
out just before the execution.
-
- The country needed someone to be arrested quickly, sit
in jail for a few years, not implicate anyone else and then die at the
hands of an executioner in order that the nation might "heal"
- and he proved to be the right man for the job.
-
- The government apparently wanted him gone fast, due process
be damned - and he seemed to have no problem with that.
-
- A Constitution-shredding anti-terrorist bill languished
in Congress, unpassable, and needed a massive demonstration of extreme
violence against the federal government and innocent people - and Sgt.
McVeigh delivered a Ryder truck to the front of the Murrah Building right
on time.
-
- A remarkable confluence of purposes for two forces supposedly
at odds with each other.
-
- =======
-
- * Dead and gone?
-
- Just in case you're curious, Timothy McVeigh's body won't
be autopsied, reportedly at his request, even though though conducting
an autopsy of executed prisoners is standard procedure in US prisons. Federal
Judge Richard Matsch, who made the ruling, must have a heart after all.
-
- In addition to the no autopsy ruling, a signed agreement
between McVeigh and the government states that pictures, X-rays and other
medical information gathered by the coroner's office after McVeigh's death
will remain confidential.

-
- The body will be cremated. By now, it may already have
been - again at McVeigh's request and with Judge Richard Matsch's approval.
-
- The execution itself?
-
- Here's an excerpt of the first eye witness account of
the execution broadcast by MSNBC just minutes after it was over:
-
- "The shallow breathing continued... or what appeared
to be shallow breathing... even after they pronounced him dead." -
Susan Carlson. Reporter. WLS Chicago
-
- See her say it yourself in streaming video before it's
taken down: http://www.apfn.org/movies/mcveigh-lives.WMV
-
- The execution was not videotaped, again by court order,
so all we know of what happened at the end are from the eye witness accounts.
-
- No body. No video. No photographs. Not even an X-ray
- and a sealed coroner's report.
-
- Did "Timothy McVeigh" die on Monday?
-
- It depends on which one you mean...
-
- The one on the left, the McVeigh we know from the media?
Or the one on the right, a man identified as an ATF agent photographed
during the Waco Branch Davidian trial (published months before the OKC
bombing.)

-
- Call it a Reichstag Fire.
-
- No one believed the audacity of it in 1933 either.
-
- ================
-
- * History Lesson
-
- "On Feb. 27, 1933, a fire destroyed part of the
Reichstag building. Hitler immediately accused the Communists of having
set the fire. President von Hindenburg proclaimed a state of emergency
and issued decrees suspending freedom of speech and assembly."
-
- The following day a law was passed ...
-
- "People were not sent to Dachau as a punishment
for a crime after being convicted by a court of law, but rather as a preventive
measure because they were suspected of being a danger to the state. Such
a person was called a Schutzhäftling and the order for preventive
custody was a Schutzhaftbefehl. Prisoners who were arrested and taken to
Dachau were told: "Based on Article One of the Decree of the Reich
President for the Protection of People and State of 28 February 1933, you
are taken into protective custody (Schutzhaft) in the interest of public
security and order. Reason: suspicion of activities inimical to the State."
-
- And remember, if you speak against the state, you're
a dangerous nut, just like that Timothy McVeigh...And he sure got what
he deserved, didn't he?
