Nichols' claim that McVeigh had government handlers supported by huge weight of known evidence
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones -Prison Planet
Thursday, February 22, 2007
New claims by Oklahoma City Bombing conspirator Terry Nichols that Timothy McVeigh was being steered by a high-level FBI official are supported by a plethora of evidence that proves McVeigh did not act alone and that authorities had prior warnings and were complicit in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building.
Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols says a high-ranking FBI official "apparently" was directing Timothy McVeigh in the plot to blow up a government building and might have changed the original target of the attack, according to a new affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Utah.
The official and other conspirators are being protected by the federal government "in a cover-up to escape its responsibility for the loss of life in Oklahoma," Nichols claims in a Feb. 9 affidavit.
Documents that supposedly help back up his allegations have been sealed to protect information in them, such as Social Security numbers and dates of birth.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Utah had no comment on the allegations. The FBI and Justice Department in Washington, D.C., also declined comment.
In another report, the Deseret Morning News named the FBI agent at Larry Potts, but that information has now been sealed by the court.
Potts was no stranger to anti-government confrontations, having been the lead FBI agent at Ruby Ridge in 1992, which led to the shooting death of Vicki Weaver, the wife of separatist Randy Weaver.Potts also was reportedly involved in the 51-day siege of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas in 1993, which resulted in a fire that killed 81 Branch Davidian followers.
Potts retired from the FBI under intense pressure and criticism for the cover-up of an order to allow agents to shoot anyone seen leaving the Weaver cabin at Ruby Ridge.
"McVeigh said he believed Potts was manipulating him and forcing him to 'go off script,' which I understood meant to change the target of the bombing," Nichols stated.
The affidavit was filed in a lawsuit brought by attorney Jesse Trentadue, whose brother Kenneth was tortured and beaten to death in an Oklahoma City federal prison in 1995. Authorities claimed Trentadue had committed suicide but he was being held in a suicide proof cell at the time and autopsy photos of his body showed he had been shocked with a stun gun, bruised, burned, sliced and then hung.
Jesse Trentadue has amassed evidence that his brother was mistaken for one of Timothy McVeigh's alleged bombing accomplices and in attempting to get him to talk Federal agents went too far and then tried to instigate a cover-up of the murder.
Just like 9/11, the official story of the Oklahoma City Bombing, that McVeigh alone carried out the attack using a fertilizer truck bomb, is contradicted by a plethora of eyewitness account as well as physical and circumstantial evidence.
- In early April 1995 a Ryder truck identical to the one used in the bombing was filmed by a pilot during an overflight of of an area near Camp Gruber-Braggs, Oklahoma. A June 17th, 1997 Washington Post article authenticates the photos as being exactly what they appear to be, photos of a Ryder truck in a clandestine base at Camp Gruber-Braggs. Why were the military in possession of a Ryder truck housed in a remote clandestine army base days before the Alfred P. Murrah bombing?
- In a 1993 letter to his sister, McVeigh claimed that he was approached by military intelligence and had joined an "elite squad of government paid assassins." McVeigh often contradicted himself and changed his story on a whim to fit in with the latest government version of events. Is the Camp Grafton footage evidence of McVeigh's enrollment in such a clandestine program?
- Multiple reports of Arabs at the scene assisting McVeigh were ignored and surveillance tapes were withheld under national security. The likely reason for this was the fact that Bush senior and Clinton were responsible for bringing in nearly 1,000 Iraqi soldiers captured by U.S. forces during the 1991 Persian Gulf War, some of whom were involved in the bombing.
- The FBI claimed McVeigh scouted the Alfred P. Murrah building weeks before the bombing and yet on the morning of the attack he stopped at a local gas station to ask directions, lending credibility to the new claims that he was being controlled by other conspirators and that the target of the bombing had been changed.
- Original reports of two explosions and several failed devices being defused by bomb squads were buried by the establishment as the official explanation that McVeigh acted alone was pushed. Scientific analysis conducted by General Benton K. Partin revealed core columns were blown out from within the building and the extensive damage to the Alfred P. Murrah building was completely inconsistent with the explanation of a single and relatively weak fertilizer truck bomb.
- Many eyewitnesses reported that bomb squads in full reaction gear were seen around the building immediately before the blast. Police officer Terence Yeakey, who helped save dozens of victims, was one such witness. Yeakey compiled extensive files on his observations but was later found with his throat and wrists slashed having also been shot in the head after he had told friends he was being followed by authorities.
- Several individuals received prior warning that the bombing was about to take place. Bruce Shaw, who rushed to the Murrah building to find his wife who was employed there with the Federal Credit Union, testified that an ATF agent told him that ATF staff had been warned on their pagers not to come to work that day.
- The aftermath of the bombing led to the passage of the Omnibus Crime Bill and the demonization of the 'Patriot Movement', which was spreading like wildfire as opposition to federal government abuse grew following the events at Ruby Ridge and Waco. The consequences of the Oklahoma City Bombing effectively dismantled the Patriot Movement before the turn of the century.
In December, we reported on a video that shows McVeigh at a U.S. military base that specialized in explosives and demolition training over a year after he supposedly left the army. The tape, released by film producer Bill Bean, was the subject of a Hustler Magazine feature story.
Appearing last night on George Noory's Coast to Coast broadcast, America's biggest late night radio show, Alex Jones said he expected to talk to Jesse Trentadue imminently and it was further suggested by Noory that he and Jones should travel to Nichols' prison to interview him in person.
Newspaper reported name of Potts before court sealed documents
A newspaper reported the name of the FBI agent fingered by Terry Nichols as having led Timothy McVeigh in carrying out the Oklahoma City bombing before a Utah court order sealed documents pertaining to the testimony.
Though subsequent reports do not mention the accused agent by name, the Deseret Morning News identified the individual as Larry Potts, who was the lead FBI agent during the Ruby Ridge confrontation in 1992 and was also involved in the 51-day siege of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas in 1993.
Potts (pictured above) was forced to retire after it emerged that he tried to cover-up an order to shoot anyone seen leaving the Weaver cabin at Ruby Ridge.
"McVeigh said he believed Potts was manipulating him and forcing him to 'go off script,' which I understood meant to change the target of the bombing," Nichols stated.

Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols says a high-ranking FBI official "apparently" was directing Timothy McVeigh in the plot to blow up a government building and might have changed the original target of the attack, according to a new affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Utah.
The official and other conspirators are being protected by the federal government "in a cover-up to escape its responsibility for the loss of life in Oklahoma," Nichols claims in a Feb. 9 affidavit.
Documents that supposedly help back up his allegations have been sealed to protect information in them, such as Social Security numbers and dates of birth.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Utah had no comment on the allegations. The FBI and Justice Department in Washington, D.C., also declined comment.
Nichols does not say what motive the government would have to be involved in the bombing.
The affidavit was filed in a lawsuit brought by Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue, who believes his brother's death in a federal prison was linked to the Oklahoma City bombing.
The suit, which seeks documents from the FBI under the federal Freedom of Information Act, alleges that authorities mistook Kenneth Trentadue for a bombing conspirator and that guards killed him in an interrogation that got out of hand.
Trentadue's death a few months after the April 19, 1995, bombing was ruled a suicide after several investigations. The government has adamantly denied any wrongdoing in the death.
In his affidavit, Nichols says he wants to bring closure to the survivors and families of the attack on the Alfred B. Murrah Federal Building, which took 168 lives. He alleges he wrote then-Attorney General John Ashcroft in 2004, offering to help identify all parties who played a role in the bombing but never got a reply.
Nichols is serving a life sentence at the U.S. Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colo. McVeigh, who carried out the bombing, was executed in 2001.
McVeigh and Nichols were the only defendants indicted in the bombing. However, Nichols alleges others were involved.
McVeigh told him he was recruited for undercover missions while serving in the military, according to Nichols. He says he learned sometime in 1995 that there had been a change in bombing target and that McVeigh was upset by that.
"There, in what I believe was an accidental slip of the tongue, McVeigh revealed the identity of a high-ranking FBI official who was apparently directing McVeigh in the bomb plot," Nichols says in the affidavit.
Nichols also says that McVeigh threatened him and his family to force him to rob Roger Moore, an Arkansas gun dealer, of weapons and explosives. He later learned the robbery was staged so Moore, who was in on the phony heist, could deny any knowledge of the bombing plot if the stolen items were traced back to him, Nichols claims.
He adds that Moore allegedly told his attorney that he would not be prosecuted in connection with the bombing because he was a "protected witness." Moore could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
In addition, Nichols says McVeigh must have had help building the bomb. The device he and McVeigh built the day before the bombing did not resemble the one that ultimately was used, Nichols says, and "displayed a level of expertise and sophistication" that neither man had.

Fertilizer was enough for catastrophic blast - but
has to be INSIDE building to take down.
Jun. 4, 2006. 07:33 PM
MIKE OLIVEIRA - CANADIAN PRESS
The three tonnes of ammonium nitrate that an alleged
Toronto terror cell tried to buy couldn't have toppled the city's iconic CN
Tower, but it was enough explosive to easily cause more casualties and chaos
than Canada has ever seen, experts say. [Explosives that were bought and sold by CSIS and the RCMP]
It took only one tonne of fertilizer to kill 168 people in Oklahoma City
in 1995, and even less to kill six people and injure more than 1,000 at the
World Trade Center in 1993, said John Thompson of the Mackenzie Institute, a
Toronto-based think-tank.
Not even three tonnes of the potentially explosive fertilizer could fuel a
bomb that would bring down the heavily reinforced CN Tower, but three
carefully timed blasts in the city's downtown core could have done even more
damage, he said.
"The CN Tower is re-enforced concrete and it's pretty tough to explode,"
Thompson said.
"For example, (consider) the Hiroshima attack in 1945. The reinforced
concrete buildings at the Hiroshima memorial were right underground ground
zero — and they're still there."
Police arrested 12 men and five youths Friday in connection with what
they say was a plot to stage a massive terrorist attack, likely in the heart
of Canada's largest city.
Media reports Sunday said the arrests were made after the group obtained the
fertilizer from undercover investigators as part of a massive sting
operation.
David Joyce, a University of Toronto professor and explosives expert,
agreed that the tower — a definitive Canadian emblem and the defining image
of the city's skyline — could withstand a truck bomb of such massive force.
"Strategically place explosive charges at the right places and you can
drop any building, but it has to be inside to do the right structural
damage," Joyce said.
"I expect that would be hard to do."
Since 2002, the tower has been equipped with security scanners to detect
explosives on visitors entering the popular tourist attraction, which beefed
up its security in the wake of the terrorist attacks in New York and
Washington on Sept. 11, 2001.
Thompson said the quantity of fertilizer that was seized by authorities
would have been perfect for an Al Qaeda-style attack, with multiple bombs
set off within minutes of each other.
"They could saturate the hospitals with mass casualties, cause more
confusion and panic, and get the police looking in a dozen directions at
once."
He said emergency planners have imagined and trained for a scenario in
which a truck bomb explodes in downtown Toronto's busy financial district
during lunch hour.
"Right in the intersection (the bomb would) shatter all the windows in the
four bank towers and basically clean off the sidewalk (within) about 100
metres, killing everyone in the open and then killing, wounding and blinding
dozens of other people up in the bank towers."
Such an attack could result in the deaths of more than 1,000 people,
Thompson said.
Joyce said the deadly bombing in Oklahoma City 11 years ago provides a
chilling illustration of how much damage a single tonne of ammonium nitrate
can cause.
"If it had been inside the building it probably would've done much more
damage because the explosive would've been in more intimate contact with the
building structure," he said.
"A tonne or three tonnes, that's one heck of a lot of energy there."
Oklahoma, which is normally a drive-through, fly-over state, usually only
makes the national news when something, unfortunately, blows up. The Oklahoma
City bombing in 1995. The suicide-bombing of late last year. Norman, Oklahoma
is my hometown. You may have heard of it because it is the home of the
University of Oklahoma. Growing up there I was convinced that I lived in the
most boring town in the world, so it was with growing alarm that I began to
discover through my own research and the diligent work of others that Norman
has served as a crossroads of sorts for international terrorists for well over
a decade. These facts are documented, yet the reasons why Norman has been used
as a springboard for terror can only be explained, I believe, by the apparent
immunity these terrorists enjoy in Oklahoma. The threads of terror that run
through Norman have been examined by some in the mainstream press, but none in
the media have stepped back to look at the pattern these threads form, perhaps
because this pattern would lead to some uncomfortable conclusions about our
government's true role in the War on Terror.
Let's first examine just some of these threads. Then perhaps you can see the
pattern arise. Many of these facts seem unrelated at first, but in their
entirety an ominous picture develops.
According to the New York Daily News and the 9/11 Congressional Report, Osama
bin Laden's personal pilot came to Norman in 1993 to take lessons at Airman
Flight School. Since we all know that bin Laden has been a CIA asset since at
least the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and that his family ties are
entwined with the Bush family, it is interesting to see that bin Laden chose
Norman to train his own pilot.
On May 15, 1998, the local office of the FBI warned of the large number of
Mideastern men taking flight instruction in Oklahoma. This memo was titled,
"Weapons of Mass Destruction."
In the Fall of 1999 Nicholas Berg, the man who was later the unfortunate star
of a televised beheading in Iraq, attended a semester at OU. But according to
the excellent research of Michael P. Wright, Berg stayed on OU campus for some
time afterward as an employee of the university.
Despite, or perhaps because of, FBI attention on local flight schools, in
2000 alleged 9/11 ringleader Mohammed Atta and fellow future hijacker Marwan
Alshehhi visited Norman to inquire about flight training.
In February of 2001, Zacharias Mossaoui, the supposed 20 th hijacker, came to
live in Norman and train at, once again, Airman Flight School. He later moves
in with Melvin Lattimore, whom I shall expand on later.
In April of 2001, 9/11 hijacker Nawaf Alhamzi is issued a speeding ticket in
Oklahoma. His license apparently does not trigger any red flags, despite the
fact that he has been in this country illegally since January of 2001 and that
the CIA has known that he is an al-Qaeda terrorist since March of 2000.
In the Summer of 2001, CIA agent David Edger, who was in charge of the CIA
team that monitored the al-Qaeda cell in Hamburg, Germany, is appointed to OU
as a visiting professor by OU President David Boren. This cell included
several 9/11 hijackers including Mohammed Atta, who had already been
identified as an al-Qaeda cell leader by Defense Intelligence Agency Task
Force Able Danger.
On August 1, 2001, a meeting took place at the Sands Motel in Oklahoma City
between Zacharias Mossaoui and Mohammed Atta. This motel had previously been
used by Timothy McVeigh and bombing suspect Hussain al-Hussaini prior to the
OKC bombing. This meeting must have been of importance, because Mossaoui left
for Minnesota shortly thereafter, where he was finally arrested by local FBI
agents.
It was also shortly after this that Nicholas Berg's laptop computer was used
to email Mossaoui in Minnesota. Berg is questioned by the FBI and cleared.
According to Berg's father, an unknown party asked Nick Berg if he could use
his laptop while they were on a transit bus to OU. Berg apparently gave this
man his password so he could email Mossaoui. But according to the research of
Michael P. Wright, OU transit buses were NOT equipped with wireless technology
in 2001 (or even many laptops), nor was Berg even registered as an OU student
at this time.
It was also this month of August 2001, just weeks before the 9/11 attacks,
that hijacker Ziad Jarrah's plane ticket for his date with infamy was
purchased at an OU library computer terminal. This story was originally
reported on local TV station KOCO-TV, but that story has since been erased
from history. The ticket purchase does not trigger any red flags, despite the
fact that Jarrah had previously been detained and questioned at the request of
the CIA, and released, in Dubai for suspected links to al-Qaeda. Even more
ominously, according to statements obtained by Michael P. Wright, the man who
purchased this ticket was a white American male, described as a "skinhead
type" by the library employee who witnessed the transaction and informed the
FBI about it. As an interesting side note, Nicholas Berg sported a shaved head
during his time at OU.
Following Mossaoui's arrest in Minnesota, Oklahoma FBI agents visited his
former home in Norman, still occupied by Melvin Lattimore. According to FBI
reports, several unidentified men ran out the back door when the agents came
calling. Lattimore is not arrested at this time. Also, Melvin Lattimore
abandoned his lease on September 10, 2001.
And of course, on the morning of 9/11, while planes were striking buildings
across the east coast, OU President David Boren was having a cozy breakfast
with his protégé, CIA Director George Tenet. Upon being informed of the
attacks, Tenet turned towards his breakfast companion and said, "I wonder if
this has something to do with the guy who trained for a pilot's license." He
of course could only be referring to the arrest of Mossaoui, but I can only
wonder if Tenet had a knowing smirk on his face when he said this, because he
was telling this to the man, David Boren, whose campus had been home to
Mossaoui for the last several months.
And then on May 8, 2004, Nick Berg's headless body was discovered in Iraq
three days after his televised decapitation was shown to the world. This was
wonderful timing once again, as his horrific death skewed world attention away
from the Abu Ghraib torture scandal that had erupted just days earlier.
And finally, but perhaps not, on October 1, 2005, while I was giving a speech
at Conspirathon '05, Joel Henry Hinrichs III died in a suicide-bombing outside
OU stadium as thousands of fans were watching the Nebraska game.
These facts point towards a disturbing trend about 9/11, but some of these
characters involved are also linked to the biggest news story in Oklahoma
history, the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995. And
this is precisely why the story of Norman is so important. Not only does the
evidence of terrorist activity in Oklahoma point towards something wrong with
the official explanation of 9/11, but it directly connects 9/11 with the OKC
bombing. And it hints at what we can only expect will be a larger terror
attack in the future.
Let's first look at Melvin Lattimore, who was Mossaoui's roommate in Norman.
Lattimore is an African-American, a convert to radical Islam who now goes by
the name of Majahid Abduquaadir Menepta. According to the New American, his
credit card was used to purchase the bomb-making materiels in the World Trade
Center bombing in 1993. FBI collaboration with the terror cell that was blamed
for that attack has been well documented by the New York Times. After the
Oklahoma City bombing, a BATF agent testified under oath that Lattimore had
been named as a suspect by an FBI informant. Not only that, he was also seen
at McVeigh's motel in Oklahoma City. And just a few days before the bombing,
Lattimore showed up at the Traveler's Aid Society in Oklahoma City with a
known associate of McVeigh, Tim Rosencranz. The two men became belligerent
when they were refused charity because they refused to identify themselves.
According to the supervisor, Lattimore even flipped them the bird. When the
two men left, the employees took down their descriptions and the make of their
car, which was a Mercury Marquis without a license plate. If you recall, that
description matches exactly the car that McVeigh was pulled over in following
the bombing.
Lattimore was later arrested following the 9/11 attacks and imprisoned for
fifteen months on a weapons charge. Lattimore, who is directly connected to
three of the most high-profile terror attacks in American history, was NOT
charged with terrorism, and is once again a free man. At last report, he is
back in his hometown of St. Louis.
Another man with links to both 9/11 and the OKC bombing is Hussain al-Hussaini,
who was identified as the infamous and elusive John Doe #2 by several
witnesses to the bombing, and by KFOR-TV, before the company was purchased by
the New York Times Broadcasting Company and its programming director fired.
This man was seen in the company of McVeigh more than once in Oklahoma City
and on the day of the bombing was seen riding with McVeigh in the Ryder Truck.
Al-Hussaini sued KFOR-TV for defamation because of their investigation of his
links to McVeigh, but he lost the case in court and his alibi for that day has
been proven a lie. And on the morning of 9/11 al-Hussaini, according to author
Jayna Davis, was working at Boston's Logan airport, the point of departure for
some of the hijackers, including Mohammed Atta. Al-Hussaini has never been
charged or even investigated for terrorism.
These two men, and many others, have seemingly enjoyed some kind of immunity
from prosecution for their suspected roles in the terror attacks of recent
years, a protection that can only be given by those whose responsibility is
supposed to be to prevent these attacks. What was the government doing about
all of these terrorists and their suspected accomplices in Oklahoma? We can
start by looking at David Edger, the CIA man on campus at OU.
David Edger made his bones at the CIA in Chile, where on SEPTEMBER 11, 1973,
he was present during the CIA-sponsored coup of the democratically elected
government of Salvador Allende, and his subsequent murder. We can only guess
at Edger's role in that affair. Edger was later present in Brazil during the
CIA-supported war against the urban guerrillas in that country. A proven case
officer, in the mid-nineties Edger was promoted to Deputy Director of
Intelligence for the Directorate of Operations, the covert action arm of the
CIA. This is one of the highest and secretive positions in the agency. Then,
in an apparent demotion, Edger went to Hamburg, Germany to be in charge of the
CIA team monitoring an al-Qaeda cell that included Mohammed Atta. Atta at this
time had already been identified as an al-Qaeda cell leader by DIA Task Force
Able Danger. During this time in Hamburg, Atta exchanged several phone calls
with Zacharias Mossaoui, and emailed several flight schools in the U.S. to ask
about flight instruction. One of the visitors to Atta's apartment at this time
was Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the uncle of convicted World Trade Center bomber
Ramzi Yousef and the supposed mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. Shaikh Mohammed
had a bounty on his head by the U.S. Government at this time, but still
remained unmolested.
Shortly thereafter, David Edger was appointed to OU as a visiting professor in
the Summer of 2001 by OU President David Boren. According to the OU newsletter
announcing his arrival, Edger is described as the CIA Officer in Residence,
NOT as a retired CIA officer. We can only assume that he was still on duty at
that time, and may very well still be. Edger, who monitored the communications
of Atta in Germany to Mossaoui in the U.S., just happened to be present in
Oklahoma, on duty, when Atta, Mossaoui and at least one other hijacker held
their fateful meeting in Oklahoma City, at the same motel that McVeigh used
prior to the OKC bombing. The same motel that McVeigh was seen with several
other Arab suspects including Hussain al-Hussaini and Melvin Lattimore, both
of whom later had connections to 9/11.
A colleague of mine has sat in Edger's class on terrorism at OU. Edger freely
admitted to a variety of crimes in the service of the National Security State,
including fixing elections overseas and inducing instability in foreign
nations run by "bad guys." He even admitted to monitoring Mohammed Atta in
Germany, but quickly undercut any questions about this by adding that he had
heard nothing of interest. Nothing of interest indeed, at a time when Mohammed
Atta and at least two other hijackers were living in an apartment under CIA
surveillance and were buying chemicals for making explosives and one hijacker
boasted of planning to attack the World Trade Center and killing thousands of
Americans.
The actions and movements of David Edger strain "coincidence
theory" to the extreme. Let me repeat myself for effect. CIA Deputy Director
David Edger took a mysterious demotion to take charge of the CIA unit
monitoring known al-Qaeda cell leader Mohammed Atta in Germany, while Atta was
talking to Mossaoui in the U.S. and while terror suspects were coming and
going from Atta's apartment and talking freely of attacking America. Edger
then takes an appointment to OU and is in town while Mossaoui and Atta have an
important meeting in Oklahoma. What is one to infer from this train of
coincidences? The only logical explanation that I can see is that Edger was
monitoring the meeting between Atta and Mossaoui in Oklahoma as he had
monitored Atta and Mossaoui's communications in Germany. BUT, Edger's
suspected monitoring of the leader of the 9/11 attacks and an alleged
accomplice did nothing to prevent the attacks, and one can only conclude from
this fact that Edger may very well have been protecting Mohammed Atta from
arrest, that CIA Officer in Residence David Edger may have been the "handler"
for the leader of the 9/11 hijackers. And given the voluminous amounts of
evidence pointing towards our own government's hand in the 9/11 attacks, the
importance of the Oklahoma connection comes to light by pointing out by name
some of the direct links and probable cooperation between the U.S. Government
and those who are blamed for the attacks.
Once again, the question comes down to: Why Oklahoma? Well, Oklahoma must be
considered safe ground to conduct insidious covert operations. With that, you
must have a compliant law enforcement and a compliant media. The local news
media in Oklahoma is very tightly controlled, as demonstrated by the initial
reports of second and third bombs found in the Murrah Building following the
OKC bombing. These reports were dropped despite corroboration of police,
investigators and rescue personnel who saw these secondary devices for
themselves. Also dropped were the numerous eyewitness accounts of BATF agents
admitting that they had been ordered to not show up to work that morning in
the Federal building and the leaked accounts of police officers who viewed the
security tapes following the bombing that showed that Tim McVeigh was not
alone in the Ryder truck that exploded outside building, and in fact left the
truck before the mysterious John Doe #2 (al-Hussaini) did. A detailed account
of the lies behind the official myths of the OKC bombing can be found in Final
Report, issued by the Oklahoma Bombing Investigation Committee in 2001.
And the law enforcement community in Oklahoma has demonstrated their fealty
towards their oath to protect the public by assisting in the coverup of the
Oklahoma City bombing and punishing those officers who could not neglect their
duty. The bloody murder of Oklahoma City Police Officer Terence Yeakey, who
was the first officer to respond to the bombing, served a dual purpose: to
silence Terry and to serve as a warning to other officers who may want to come
forward with what they know about what happened that day.
But why Norman? Perhaps University of Oklahoma President David Boren has
something to do with it. David Boren is a political Institution in Oklahoma.
He served as Governor in the seventies and then moved on to the U.S. Senate,
where he eventually became the Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee,
privy to the secrets of the National Security State. David Boren is also a
member of the Skull and Bones, that homoerotic fraternity of rich men out of
Yale whose ranks include such rogues as President George W. Bush and John
Kerry.
Boren holds the record for the longest tenure as Senate Intelligence Chairman,
and during that time wielded his power accordingly. When the first
President Bush, a fellow bonesmen, was having trouble with his nomination of
Robert Gates as CIA Director because of Gates' record as a CIA analyst of
inflating the Soviet threat to the benefit of the Military-Industrial Complex,
Boren used his influence to secure the nomination. Later, Boren pushed through
the nomination of his own congressional staffer, George Tenet, as CIA Director
despite Tenet's lack of any intelligence background or training.
David Boren left the Senate abruptly in 1994, which was a surprising move for
the man who had moved in the upper levels of political power for decades and
who had voiced Presidential ambitions. What may have precipitated this move
was the issue of Boren's homosexuality, which had been rumored throughout his
career and might have become an issue in Boren's reelection campaign. Boren's
former Oxford roommate, W. Scott Thompson, had published a book in 1994, The
Price of Achievement, detailing Boren's homosexuality. This issue had been
brought to the forefront before, including the time that Boren had to fly back
to Oklahoma from D.C. to swear on a Holy Bible that he was not gay, as
demonstrated on the front page of the Daily Oklahoman.
What is ominous about Boren's deceptiveness about his sexual orientation is
that his proclivity may have put him into a compromising situation, a position
in which leverage could be applied to him for the purposes of control and
cooperation. Al Martin's The Conspirators alleges that David Boren was the
"victim" of a homosexual blackmail ring run by the CIA, in which compromising
pictures of Boren and a seventeen year-old boy were obtained during a trade
mission trip in 1984. For a man with political ambitions who depended on the
votes of the buckle of the Bible Belt, Boren was totally under the power of
the intelligence community from that day forward.
David Boren, who appointed CIA Officer David Edger to OU, who was
havingbreakfast with CIA Director George Tenet on the morning of 9/11 and who
continues to wield power in Oklahoma as President of the University of
Oklahoma, may very well be responsible for securing Norman as a training base
for state-sponsored terror. 9/11 occurred five years ago, and so much has
changed in this country, for the worse, since. What can we expect in the
future? Perhaps the recent suicide-bombing of Joel Henry Hinrichs III is a
hint towards what the next attack will bring
Hinrichs' self-immolation was fishy from the beginning. First of all, David
Boren took the point as spokesman for what should have been a criminal
investigation by announcing to the world that this incident was nothing but a
tragic suicide. The dust had barely settled on the park outside the Gaylord
Memorial Stadium before Boren was telling people to move on, nothing to see
here. He further tried to settle the matter by sending an email to students
and faculty discouraging speculation that a "conspiracy" was afoot. He
specifically cited the OKC bombing as an example of rumor-mongering run amok,
despite the reams of evidence proving that the government was lying through
their teeth about that tragedy.
We know that Hinrichs tried to buy a large amount of ammonium nitrate from a
feed store in Norman just prior to the bombing. Ammonium Nitrate is of course
the chemical fertilizer that the government says destroyed the Murrah
Building. This assertion is belied by the testimony of explosive experts from
around the world. Regardless, the astute clerk at Ellisson's feed store
rebuffed Hinrichs because of his strange behavior, including wearing a jacket
with wires sticking out of it and not having any idea as to what the peaceful
uses of ammonium nitrate were. Contrast the clerk's alertness with the Norman
Police Officer who just happened to be in the store at the time and witnessed
the entire strange episode. According to news reports, this officer reported
Hinrichs by cell phone, yet no action was taken by the police department, and
Hinrichs went on to self-destruct three days later.
Just recently in Oklahoma, a man filled up several barrels full of dieselfuel
at a Love's gas station and used more than one credit card to pay for the
transaction. Diesel fuel is of course one of the ingredients, along with
ammonium nitrate, that the government says destroyed the Murrah Building. The
clerk alerted the police, which triggered a state-wide manhunt spearheaded by
the Department of Homeland Security with local news stations headlining the
search for the man on their broadcasts. It turns out that the man was just a
Connecticut truck driver cashing in on cheap diesel fuel prices. Okay, case
closed. But why did Hinrichs' strange behavior, witnessed by police, in trying
to buy a fertilizer that can be used as an explosive not trigger this same
response? One can only contrast the two cases and conclude that something was
fishy with the Hinrichs episode.
Add to this the media blackout on the initial news reports that Hinrichs tried
to enter gate six of the stadium prior to his self-destruction. KWTV-9
reported this as did the Norman Transcript, but now that story has been
dropped. I have toured the site of the explosion, and from gate six, to where
Hinrichs was killed on a curbside bench, you have to pass several other gates
into the stadium. Hinrichs reportedly was not allowed entrance at gate six
because he refused a search of his backpack, and ran from the gate. Now if
someone tried to enter a packed stadium and fled the scene after refusing a
search, that incident would have been reported to security, and the other
gates would have been alerted to the description of a young man with a
backpack who may try to enter at other gates. If the security personnel at the
stadium were doing their job, this is the very least that would have been
done. And there were Norman police stationed at the stadium also, including
the bomb squad. Given these facts, we have to ask some questions. Was Hinrichs
under pursuit when he died? Did Hinrichs have to be eliminated because of his
failed mission, and his strange behavior at the feed store and gate six which
might lead to his arrest? Was a burgeoning foul-up cleaned up with the
explosive death of Joel Henry Hinrichs III?
Obviously, the Hinrichs bombing is still a mystery, but one that cannot be
discounted because of the presence of Boren at OU, a man who has practiced
deception all of his life, both in his personal life and in his professional
capacity as the Grand Eminence of the Cult of Intelligence. And because of
David Edger, a known operator in covert operations, who was in place to
shepherd the 9/11 hijackers from Germany to Oklahoma. Boren is still President
of OU. Edger is still teaching at OU as a CIA Officer in Residence. Strange
things are still going on in Norman.
Rojan Gunarata, a terrorism expert who testified before the 9/11 Commission,
has stated that Norman, Oklahoma was host to an al-Qaeda cell prior to 9/11.
That cell is certainly still active, as no one in Norman, al-Qaeda or
otherwise, has been arrested for complicity in 9/11. From the evidence
presented it appears that Norman is home to a training or logistical support
group for terrorism, and that they operate under the protection of the
intelligence community. And there is every reason to believe that this cell
will participate in future attacks against the people of this country.
I have told this to the students at OU. Some colleagues and I held the
Oklahoma Truth Convergence on OU campus on January 21, 2006. That was only the
beginning. Until we destroy their complacency, let them know that Oklahoma is
not safe ground for state-sponsored terror, we can only expect more of the
same in the future.

"This is a terrible case," said 10th Circuit Judge Robert Henry during oral arguments
Wednesday. "The federal government doesn't look well for it."
Attorney Jesse Trentadue said in his investigation into his brother's August 1995
death in a federal holding facility in Oklahoma City, he ran across what he claims
was a concerted effort by the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice to cover up the
circumstances surrounding the death of Kenneth Trentadue.
The government facilitators of the climate of fear, and subsequent police state reaction, seem to be focusing renewed interest in hyping the so-called "fertilizer bomb". A bomb that requires legally purchased (permit required) blasting caps to be ignited.
It's interesting that while one minute we are told to fear their imminent attack by nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, we're also supposed to believe they are actively working with crude explosive devices. Fertilizer bombs are useless as a means to inflict large scale damage... but it does seem to meet the standard for the "terrorist next door" angle, so don't be surprised if you get some funny stares next time you go to buy a couple of bags of plant food for your lawn.
Here is the latest fear tactic from the British MI6 terror cell.
