> 30 Oklahoma City Bombing Questions That Demand an Answer NOW!
> http://www.parascope.com/articles/0697/30quest.htm
>
>
> Despite Timothy McVeigh's guilty verdict, numerous unanswered questions
> about the murderous Oklahoma City bombing remain.  Indeed, there are so
> many unanswered questions, it is amazing that the prosecution was able to
> secure a conviction at all.
>
> So pull up a front-row seat for the McVeigh lynching, folks, and
> contemplate a few of the contradictions in the official account of the OKC
> bombing before it all gets flushed down the memory hole.  If this list
> doesn't make you paranoid, you must be one of them!
>
> [To read the startling evidence which the jury was barred from hearing, be
> sure to check out Timothy McVeigh's Writ of
> Mandamus,  http://www.thecommonman.com/mandamus.htm
>
> 1.
> If the bombing of the Alfred E.  Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma City
> was a terrorist reprisal for the Federal massacre of the Branch Davidians
> at Waco, why were no BATF or FBI agents injured?  Why was EVERY
> BADGE-CARRYING FEDERAL AGENT absent from work at nine o'clock on a weekday
> morning, their offices staffed only with civilian clerical workers?
>
> 2.
> When the word first got out that no Federal agents had been present in the
> building, the BATF produced its Resident Agent Alex McCauley who told a
> long story about his own heroism and that of a fellow ATF man who
allegedly
> fell three floors in an elevator, walked away from it, and then helped
> rescue others trapped by the bomb.  This was quickly exposed as a
> fabrication in an angry interview by building maintenance supervisor Duane
> James, who described McCauley's story as "pure fantasy".  James examined
> the elevator in question and also the central control panel and pointed
out
> a number of technical and logical reasons why the miraculous elevator
> incident simply couldn't have happened in the way claimed.  The McCauley
> account was quietly retracted and flushed down the memory hole by the ATF,
> with the help of the media.  They now admit that McCauley was nowhere near
> the building when the bomb went off, although they refuse to discuss his
> exact whereabouts or the whereabouts of any other ATF agent at the time of
> the explosion.
>
> Will BATF Agent Alex McCauley be disciplined for telling a self-serving
lie
> which falsely made himself out to be a hero?  If that was not the purpose,
> why did he make this palpably false public statement?
>
> 3.
> Why was U.S.  Judge Wayne Alley, whose office was located in the Federal
> building, warned several weeks in advance in a Justice Department memo to
> be prepared for an unnamed "terrorist act" directed against the Federal
> building?
>
> 4.
> Judge Alley made the above admission to the Portland Oregonian immediately
> after the bombing.  He has since refused to repeat it or allow himself to
> be interviewed again.  Why?
>
> 5.
> Why did Ken Stern fax warnings to Federal judges and officials,
> legislators, and prosecutors warning of a possible attack on a government
> building of installation on the second anniversary of Waco on April 10th,
> 1995, nine days before the OKC bombing?
>
> 6.
> "Norma," a witness who worked in an office building just down the street
> from the Federal building, told reporter Sherry Koonce what she saw prior
> to the explosion: "The day was fine, everything was normal when I arrived
> for work at about 7:45 a.m.  There was some talk about the bomb squad
among
> the employees at our office.  We wondered what it was doing in our parking
> lot.  Around nine I heard and felt a huge explosion.  Then someone said it
> had to be a bomb, and we all knew.  I remembered the bomb squad in our
> parking lot and knew what had happened."
>
> "Norma" has since quit her job, gone into hiding and refused to speak
again
> to any reporters or investigators.  So have a number of other people who
> saw the heavily armed and equipped bomb squad in the area up to three
hours
> before the blast.  Why?
>
> 7.
> Why did all mention of the facts outlined in questions 1 thru 6
disappeared
> from the news media after the first week of coverage of the bombing?  Why
> has the media consistently suppressed and refused to report any
information
> or evidence which indicates that, at the very least and regardless of who
> was responsible, there was Federal foreknowledge that the bombing would
> take place?
>
> 8.
> By definition, a terrorist must take credit for his violence, or else
there
> is no compelling reason to commit a crime.  The specific purpose of
> terrorism is to gain a political end through the credible threat to commit
> future acts of violence.  No one has claimed credit for the Oklahoma City
> bombing.  Militia and right-wing groups, the alleged masterminds and
> presumed beneficiaries, have been particularly vehement in denouncing the
> explosion and in many cases have cooperated directly with Federal agencies
> to absolve themselves of any involvement.  The only statement of alleged
> political motive comes from the very government which was attacked.  Why
is
> this?
>
> 9.
> Did the Alfred Murrah building warehouse documents relating to the attack
> on the Branch Davidians at Waco?  If so, what happened to those
> documents?  Were they destroyed?  If so, were any copies kept
> elsewhere?  If not, why not?
>
> 10.
> Will the missing papers, if any, affect former Attorney General Ramsey
> Clark's lawsuit against the ATF and FBI on behalf of the Branch Davidian
> survivors?
>
> 11.
> Why did the Director of the University of Oklahoma's Geological Survey,
> Dr.  Charles Mankin, tell the media that according to two different
> seismographic records there were TWO blasts, the second approximately
eight
> seconds after the first?
>
> 12.
> The news media initially reported that there were two explosions, based on
> eyewitness testimony.  Why did this version of events disappear from print
> and the air waves within twenty-four hours?
>
> 13.
> According to the prosecution, McVeigh used an ANFO (Ammonium Nitrate and
> Fuel Oil) bomb to destroy the Alfred P.  Murrah federal building.
> McGyver makes it look real easy on TV.  But according to Department of the
> Army and Air Force Technical Manual No.  9-1910, entitled Military
> Explosives, ANFO requires a greater than 99% purity of ammonium nitrate,
as
> well as a specific dryness, before it can be mixed with diesel fuel to
> create an explosive substance.  The manual further spells out that even
> under ideal conditions (not often reached even by experts) 4,800 pounds of
> ANFO explosive would create a much smaller crater than the one left in
> front of the Murrah building, and its shock wave could not possibly wield
> the force necessary to compromise the building's concrete support
structure.
> The FBI claims that the ANFO charge was made from 50 bags of
> fertilizer.  Ammonium nitrate fertilizers comes in much weaker
> concentrations than the 99%-plus required for explosives.  Creating
> concentrated amounts of ammonium nitrate is quite complex, and would
> require many bags of fertilizer.  In short, according to the government's
> own textbook, the Oklahoma City bombing COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE WAY
> THE FBI SAYS IT HAPPENED.  IT IS A PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL, AND THERMODYNAMIC
> IMPOSSIBILITY.  Why is the FBI lying?
>
> 14.
> Retired Air Force Brigadier General Benton K.  Partin, former commander of
> the Air Force Armament Technology Laboratory, a 25-year expert in the
> design and development of bombs, urged Senators and Congressmen to delay
> the destruction of the Murrah building site.  Partin stated in a news
> release, "When I first saw the picture of the truck bomb's asymmetrical
> damage to the Federal building in Oklahoma, my immediate reaction was that
> the pattern of damage would have been technically impossible without
> supplementary demolition charges at some of the reinforced concrete bases
> inside the building, a standard demolition technique." Partin further
> explained that "reinforced concrete targets in large buildings are hard
> targets to blast.  I know of no way possible to reproduce the apparent
> building damage through simply a truck bomb effort."
> General Partin's request to have the bomb site preserved in order to
> examine the possibility of a second explosion was ignored by the
> government.  Why?
>
> 15.
> General Partin's press release, quoted above, was reprinted in the John
> Birch Society magazine New American.  Based on this the news media
launched
> an egregious and bogus smear campaign against General Benton K.  Partin,
> claiming falsely that he was a member of the John Birch Society and
> therefore a "right-wing extremist".  [General Partin's report has been
> widely circulated and reproduced, including an electronic version here on
> ParaScope.] General Partin has been forced repeatedly to threaten lawsuits
> in order to obtain grudging and deliberately downplayed retractions and
> corrections of this allegation.  His alleged JBS membership still appears
> in print and broadcast media today as fact, even though the media are by
> now perfectly well aware that the allegation is false.  Why are the news
> media telling a deliberate lie in order to discredit a highly respected
> expert who questions the official government version of Oklahoma City?
>
> 16.
> There have been repeated studies done by a variety of accredited
explosives
> experts and professional demolition contractors, such as former FBI agent
> Ted Gunderson.  All of these have stated their professional opinion that
> the destruction of the Murrah building could only have been accomplished
> with top-grade military explosives, detonators, and careful placement of
> multiple charges.
> Why have the media ignored these expert opinions?  Why, indeed, have the
> media engaged in a concerted campaign to abuse, vilify, discredit and
> marginalize as a "crank" or a "right-wing extremist"
> any explosives expert or engineer who questions the official FBI version
of
> the bomb's construction and explosive power?
>
> 17.
> There is not a single piece of concrete evidence to connect either Timothy
> McVeigh or Terry Nichols to any militia or right-wing group.
> Why has the news media refused to acknowledge this fact and continued to
> spread the patently false assertion that McVeigh was a member of a militia
> group?
>
> 18.
> Terry Nichols has been married twice, once to a Mexican woman and once to
a
> Filipina.  Obviously, a man who marries women of color not once but twice
> and has children with them can hardly be called a racist.
> Why has this fact, which clearly precludes any racist or neo-Nazi
> involvement in the bombing of the kind implied by the media, not been
given
> any significant exposure at all?  And why has the media ignored
connections
> between the Oklahoma City bombing and the very real, very racist Elohim
> City compound in Arkansas, not to mention Andreas Strassmeir, grandson of
> one of the founders of the Nazi party in Germany?
>
> 19.
> Having allegedly just committed a coldly calculated, carefully and
> meticulously planned mass murder, why did Timothy McVeigh then suddenly
> turn into a Clouseau-like klutz and do everything but send up a flare to
> draw attention to himself?  Why did he go speeding out of the state at
> almost 100 mph in a yellow car with no license plate, virtually
> guaranteeing that he would be stopped?
>
> 20.
> Timothy McVeigh is a highly trained combat NCO who won a Bronze Star for
> courage under fire in the Gulf.  Having been stopped by a state trooper,
> being armed with a pistol, and knowing that he now faced either execution
> or imprisonment for the rest of his natural life, why did McVeigh make no
> move at all to defend himself or escape, instead surrendering like a
little
> lamb?
>
> 21.
> FBI agents are said to have tracked down McVeigh's truck rental agency by
> finding a vehicle identification number (VIN) on the truck's rear
> axle.  This axle was found either in the bomb crater, according to the
> mayor of Oklahoma City's initial press statement, or three blocks away
> according to the later FBI version.  Which statement is true?
>
> 22.
> There is another problem to the Ryder truck tale.  No rear axle on any
> vehicle manufactured in America is imprinted with a VIN, even after recent
> legislation forcing manufacturers to place multiple VINS on the engine,
> firewall, and frame to discourage chop shops.  When queried, a spokesman
> for Ryder told reporters than it does not imprint additional VINS on its
> trucks.  The only conceivable number available on a rear axle is a part
> number, but a part number couldn't lead to the identification of a
specific
> vehicle.  We have here another case where the FBI version of events simply
> COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED in the way the Bureau claims it happened.  Where
> did the VIN story come from?  Why has it been created and circulated by
the
> media?
>
> 23.
> Did McVeigh use fake I.D.  or his real I.D.  to rent the truck?
> The FBI has relayed both stories as being true.
>
> 24.
> The FBI detained and interrogated Timothy McVeigh's young sister Jennifer
> and Terry Nichols' twelve year-old son.  They announced in the media that
> both of them were suspects and that Jennifer McVeigh was facing indictment
> and the death penalty.  These charges later vanished, and both young
people
> were released.  While undergoing harsh FBI interrogation, Jennifer McVeigh
> was exposed to projections of shocking, graphic images of bombing
> victims.  What is the story here?
>
> 25.
> Who is John Doe Number Two?  Does he exist at all?  The FBI first
conducted
> a nationwide manhunt for JD-2 over a period of several weeks.  Then they
> claimed that a U.S.  Army soldier on leave, whose published photographs
> bear no resemblance whatsoever to the photofits, was JD-2.  Then they
> claimed for some months that JD-2 does not exist, and that all the
> witnesses who saw him were mistaken.  Now they are hedging again and say
> they have an "open mind" about whether John Doe Number Two exists.  What's
> the deal?
>
> 26.
> In January of 1996, National Public Radio broadcast a half-hour special
> containing interviews with half a dozen witnesses who personally saw John
> Doe Number Two in the Ryder truck with Timothy McVeigh on the morning of
> the bombing.  These witnesses all had one thing in common; other than a
> cursory preliminary interview by the FBI they had up until that time been
> approached by neither the prosecution nor the defense to appear as
> witnesses at the trial.  Why not?  Will any witnesses who saw John Doe
> Number Two be called to testify?
>
> 27.
> In the summer of 1995 a mysterious American named Daniel Spiegelman was
> arrested in the Netherlands for trafficking in stolen diamonds and
> antiques.  In July of 1995 the Janet Reno Justice Department quietly
> applied for Spiegelman's extradition to the United States IN CONNECTION
> WITH THE OKLAHOMA CITY BOMBING.  This was accompanied by representations
at
> the highest level demanding that the Netherlands courts hear the case in
> camera and that the proceedings be kept completely secret.
>
> Through his attorney Spiegelman fought extradition, a Dutch judge refused
> to impose secrecy on the hearing, the media got hold of it, and Janet Reno
> allegedly withdrew the extradition request, whereupon the entire bizarre
> episode vanished from public view.  No more media blackout in the OKC case

> Spiegelman; it is as if he has stepped off the face of the planet.
>
> Who is Daniel Spiegelman?  What connection does he have with Oklahoma
> City?  Is he John Doe Number Two?  Does he know who John Doe Number Two
is?
>
> 28.
> FBI informant and star witness Michael Fortier, who admits to trading his
> testimony for lenient sentencing on gun charges himself, claims that he
and
> Timothy McVeigh scouted out the Murrah building several weeks in advance
> looking for the BATF offices therein.  If that is true, why did Timothy
> McVeigh stop the Ryder truck at a gas station on the morning of the
bombing
> and ask directions to the building?
> And why did he park the truck on the side of the building the farthest
away
> from the BATF offices, when there was an available parking lot which would
> have placed the truck bomb almost directly under the seventh-floor windows
> of the BATF?
>
> 29.
> Why was the reaction of the Clinton administration, blaming right-wing
> radio talk shows for the incident and demanding the most draconian police
> state legislation ever proposed in the United States, so swift and
> obviously organized?  The air of orchestration about the entire government
> response did not escape notice even at the time, and was commented on by a
> number of observers across the political spectrum.
>
> A blizzard of OKC-inspired "domestic terrorism" bills were rushed into
> Congress in a matter of days, some of them pre-written and already printed
> up BEFORE THE BOMBING.  These proposed laws cover everything from banning
> virtually all privately owned firearms to unlimited and court-admissible
