Top Ten Reasons to Question the Official Story

By: Holland O. Van den Nieuwenhof

1. John Doe #2 And Other Accomplices

Timothy McVeigh is supposed to be the only one who drove the Ryder truck full of explosives up to the Murrah building and detonated it. But the government only produced one witness during McVeigh's trial to place him in Oklahoma City. That witness, Daina Bradley, lost her children, her mother and her leg in the bombing. Under cross-examination, she admitted that she saw McVeigh with another man, the fabled John Doe #2, in the Ryder truck. Numerous ( 1 2 ) other witnesses state that they saw McVeigh with other perpetrators the day of the bombing. There are also numerous other witness accounts of McVeigh accompanied by other men during his preparation for the bombing and even when he rented the Ryder truck. In some cases, these suspects have been identified by witnesses and yet the government claims that McVeigh was the sole actor in the tragedy of April 19, 1995.

2. Why Was The ATF AWOL

Paramedic Tiffany Bible, who was on the scene within five minutes, has stated in an affidavit that agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) told her that they were not in their office that morning. EMT Katherine Mallet also overheard one ATF agent say to another, "Is that why we got the page not to come in today?"Bruce Shaw, as interviewed on KFOR-TV, was also told by ATF agents that they had been paged not to come in to work. ATF agents initially denied these claims and now variously claim that one of their agents was in a free-falling elevator (this has been disproved), or that they had been on an all-night stakeout or that they had been at a golf tournament. As they try to sort out their lies, all we want to know is: did the ATF receive a warning, and if so, why did they not pass it on to others in the Murrah building?

3. Other Bombs Going Off

Several survivors vividly recall that the Murrah building began to tremble and pitch before the truck bomb blew off the façade of the building. JaneGraham of HUD felt an earthquake sensation and felt the building pitchback and forth. A warning was yelled out to get under the desks, whichsaved the lives of Graham and everyone else in the room when everythingcollapsed 8-10 seconds after the initial tremors. Jack Gobin of theDept. of Agriculture also felt an earthquake sensation and got underhis desk before the collapse.Michael Hinton, a federal agent, wason a bus several blocks away when two separate blast waves nearlytilted the bus over. Given that the blast wave of an ANFO bomb travelsat 1,100 feet per second, it is inconceivable that one event could beresponsible for the 10 second gap between the episodes. The seismographat the University of Oklahoma also records two separate episodes, 10seconds apart.

4. Experts Refute The Official Story

AirForce General Benton Partin, who for years headed the Air ForceArmaments Laboratory, examined evidence of the bombing and issued areport concluding that, "the massive destruction was primarily theresult of four demolition charges placed at critical structural pointsat the third floor level." Dr. Sam Cohen, inventor of the neutron bomb,also agrees, stating, "I believe that the demolitions charges in thebuilding were placed inside at certain key concrete columns did theprimary damage to the Murrah Federal Building," and that, "It wouldhave been absolutely impossible and against the laws of nature for atruck full of fertilizer and fuel oil-- no matter how much was used-- tobring the building down."So who planted those charges, and whyhave they not been brought to justice?

5. More Bombs Found In The Building

Therewere several additional evacuations of the Murrah building after theinitial damage due to what were later attributed to baseless bombscares. But several witnesses have declared that real, unexplodedordnance was discovered in the wreckage of the Murrah building and thatthis ordnance was recovered by the bomb squad.OKC Fire MarshalDick Miller reported that a second bomb had been found with a timer setto go off ten minutes after the first explosions, apparently to targetthe responders.The OK Highway Patrol dispatch logs state that asecond bomb was found, as does a Dept. of Defense Atlantic Command logwhich states that, "A second bomb was disarmed, and third bomb wasevacuated."Nurse Toni Garret has reported that four rescueworkers had told her that another bomb had been found set to detonateten minutes after the first detonations.The officialstory says that these bomb scares were due to a suspicious briefcase, agimmick alarm clock or an inert training device used by the ATF.Recently OETA, the public broadcasting channel in Oklahoma, reportedthat the bomb scares were contrived in order to make the media pullback from the scene, even though many victims were abandoned duringthese evacuations. As the various agencies and mainstream mediaoutlets try to sort out their stories, all we ask is: who plantedthese bombs and why is the government lying about them?

6. Informants Told The Government The Murrah Building Was Going To Be Bombed

ATFinformant Carol Howe had infiltrated Elohim City, a white separatistcommunity in eastern Oklahoma, in the months before the bombing.She reported to her handlers that extremists were plotting to bombfederal buildings and assassinate government officials and that theywere making reconnaissance trips to OKC.She has named AndreasStrassmeier, Michael Brescia, Dennis Mahon and Peter and Tony Ward asprobable accomplices to Tim McVeigh. It should be noted thatMcVeigh placed a phone call to Andreas Strassmeier at Elohim Cityshortly before the bombing.Her testimony was ruled inadmissibleand an ABC 20/20 special on her story was cancelled following a callmade to ABC by the Dept. of Justice, according to the show's producer.Furthermore another informant, Cary Gagan, was granted a letter ofimmunity by the Dept. of Justice for his work in reporting on aterrorist group that was plotting to destroy the Alfred P. MurrahBuilding. He warned his handlers that he had been delivering explosivesfor this group and that he had been sent on scouting missions to theMurrah building.

7. Foreknowledge

A U.S. Army nurse reported to the Oklahoma Bombing InvestigationCommittee that a call was placed to her office at Walter Reed ArmyHospital three or four days before the bombing. The "Pentagon-- orcongressional liaison to the Governor of Oklahoma's office" requestedinformation on the "triage for victims of blast overpressure." Thenurse's supervisor corroborates this statement. This was followed up bya second phone call to a Colonel in the office who has refused torelease the notes of the conversation. The colonel was never subpoenaednor were the phone records for the governor's office. Just what wasthis liaison to the state government preparing for?

8. Bomb Squad At The Federal Courthouse Before The Bombing

RandallYount met an acquaintance of his at the bombing scene who was a memberof the OK Co. Bomb Squad.This man told Yount, "Yeah, we've beendown here since early this morning looking. We got word there wasgoing to be a bomb, and we thought it was going to be at thecourthouse.We went over and couldn't find anything."ReneeCooper, Attorney Dan Adomitis, J.D. Reed with the Ok. Co. Assessor'sOffice, Norma Joslin of the Ok. Co. Board of Elections and privateinvestigator Claude Criss all report seeing the bomb squad at thefederal courthouse that morning, before the bombing.

9. The Extra Leg

According to Stephen Jones, McVeigh's attorney, StateMedical Examiner Vernon Jordan has stated, "We have eight people withtraumatically amputated left legs, and we have nine left legs." Dr.Jordan also added that the chances that someone was buried with tworight legs to be zero. Chief Pathologist for Northern IrelandT.K. Marshall had performed autopsies on 2,500 bombing victims in histime and has stated, "There is never an unknown victim." One mustassume that this leg belonged to a perpetrator close enough to the bombfor his body to be "disrupted" to such an extent, leaving only a legbehind. So who was this person?

10. What Is On The Surveillance Tapes

Therewere dozens of video surveillance cameras that recorded what was goingon the morning of the bombing, yet almost none of these have beenreleased and none show what transpired with the Ryder truck at theMurrah building.Most recently, the government has claimed thatall the cameras pointed at the Murrah building, in many differentbuildings and maintained by different offices and businesses, werehaving their tapes changed at the same time, 9:02 a.m.This isludicrous, and insulting to the memory of those who perished in thebombing. What do they have to hide?

Many of these questions could be put to rest by the release of the dozens of security tapes in and around the Murrah building on April 19, 1995. These tapes were seized by the FBI immediately after the bombing and only a selectfew have been released to the public. Furthermore, dozens more are known to have been seized from convenience stores along the route of the Ryder truck from Kansas to Oklahoma. If there is nothingto hide, all the perpetrators brought to justice and the case closed, why does the government continue to hold these tapes under the seal of "national security?"

Speak and write to your local and national representatives to ask for the release of these tapes which will ultimately let the American people decide for themselves if the official account of the bombing is true or not. And if it is nottrue, we must demand accountability for those who lied. Accountability is the only way to ensure that attacks like these do not happen again. And it is the only way to honor the 168 men, women and children whose lives were cut short that day.

Email from Jesse Trentadue sent April 10, 2011

At 3:30 PM on May 11, 2011, Federal Judge Clark Waddoups will hear arguments on whether the FBI should be required to search for and turn over video tapes taken on the morning of April 19, 1995, by surveillance cameras mounted on the exterior of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. According to the attached government document, these tapes show the bomb that destroyed the Murrah Building detonating "3 minutes and 6 seconds after the suspects exited the truck."

The issue before Judge Waddoups is simple but important: Under the Freedom of Information Act, is it enough for the FBI to say that it has looked for but cannot find these tapes? The FBI's position is that all the Freedom of Information Act requires is that the Bureau search for those tapes, and that it has no obligation to find and produce the tapes.

This "we looked but could not find" approach is being asserted by the FBI to requests by American citizens for documents/records under the Freedom of Information Act when those materials are potentially embarrassing to the government. This case is the perfect vehicle to test the legality of that response by the Bureau because it is undisputed that the FBI has possession of those tapes, and the notion that this evidence cannot be found is simply not credible. If you have the time, your attendance at the hearing would be appreciated.

Meanwhile, here is a story on the case before Judge Waddoups: Biggovernment.com

Thank you.

The Bombing

On April 19, 1995, around 9:03 a.m., just after parents dropped their children off at day care at the Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City, the unthinkable happened.

A massive bomb inside a rental truck exploded, blowing half of the nine-story building into oblivion.

A stunned nation watched as the bodies of men, women, and children were pulled from the rubble for nearly two weeks. When the smoke cleared and the exhausted rescue workers packed up and left, 168 people were dead in the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil.

The 168 victims killed in the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building included babies and grandparents, workers at their first days on the job and those on the verge of retirement.

One woman was seven months pregnant with her first child. Another had had her wedding four days earlier. One baby had celebrated her first birthday the day before. In addition to those who lost their lives, 500 people were injured. Countless others lost friends and relatives.
