The Oklahoma City Bombing
Posted: Feb 12th, 2009, 10:52 am
A brief overview of the "official story"...
On April 17, 1995 Timothy McVeigh reportedly picked up a 20-foot Ryder truck from Elliott's Body Shop in Junction City. The truck was filled with roughly 5,000 pounds (2,300 kg) of ammonium nitrate, an agricultural fertilizer, and nitromethane, a highly volatile motor-racing fuel-a mixture also known as Kinepak or ANFO (ammonium nitrate/fuel oil).
At 9:02 a.m. on April 19, 1995, the truck exploded in the street in front of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building. About 90 minutes later, McVeigh was stopped by an Oklahoma state trooper for driving a vehicle without a license plate, who then arrested him on a firearms charge. Two days later he was charged in the bombing. His friend Terry Nichols was arrested in Kansas, and formally charged with the bombing on May 10.
I believe Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols fall in the category of "designated suspects"...the following essay, written by Peter Dale Scott, shows how both Lee Harvey Oswald and Osama bin Laden were "protected" from being investigated by authoritites prior to the Kennedy assassination and the events of September 11, 2001...
The JFK Assassination and 9/11: the Designated Suspects in Both Cases
by Peter Dale Scott
Back when I didn't know any better (or cared to) I overlooked this event and understood it to be what was told to us by our beloved and entrusted leaders...along with many others...the '93 WTC bombings...the bombing of the USS Cole...etc.
That being said, I have three questions in regard to the Oklahoma City bombing...
1. Why did it take 44 days for the FBI to convince the car rental agency owner that John Doe 1 was Timothy McVeigh?
2. Why were two other bombs reportedly found in the building and subsequently diffused?...and how did they get there?!..."this is the work of a sophisticated group, this is a very sophisticated device, and it has to have been done by an explosives expert".
3. There is also an unanswered question with regard to the truck, namely what was the Army doing with a Ryder Truck just before the Murrah blast?

Oklahoma City Bomb Report
This report on the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was prepared by Brigadier General Benton K. Partin, USAF (Ret.) and dated July 30, 1995.
The report was submitted to the U.S. Congress and is a matter of the Congressional Record.
Conclusion
The Murrah Federal Building was not destroyed by one sole truck bomb. The major factor in its destruction appears to have been detonation of explosives carefully placed at four critical junctures on supporting columns within the building.
The only possible reinforced concrete structural failure solely attributable to the truck bomb was the stripping out of the ceilings of the first and second floors in the "pit" area behind columns B4 and By (B5?). Even this may have been caused by a demolition charge at column B3.
It is truly unfortunate that a separate and independent bomb damage assessment was not made during the cleanup__before the building was demolished on May 23 and hundreds of truck loads of debris were hauled away, smashed down, and covered with dirt behind a security fence.
When the picture at Tab 4 was made, all evidence of demolition charges had been removed from the building site (i.e., the stubs of columns B3, A3, A5, A7 and the demolished junctures at the header with columns A3, A5 and A7.
All ambiguity with respect to the use of supplementing demolition charges and the type of truck used could be quickly resolved if the FBI were required to release the surveillance camera coverage of this terribly tragic event.
The Eglin Blast Effects Study
The government, in trying to prove that a single Ryder truck filled with explosives could have caused the damage seen in the Murrah building commissioned an experimental study by the Armament Directorate, Wright Laboratory at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Intended to be used to bolseter the "lone bomber" case against Timothy McVeigh, the results of the study proved to be an embarressment to the government.
