Attorney: Oklahoma City bombing tapes appear edited

Long-secret security tapes showing the chaos immediately after the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building are blank in the minutes before the blast and appear to have been edited, an attorney who obtained the recordings said Sunday.

The real story is what's missing," said Jesse Trentadue, a Salt Lake City attorney who obtained the recordings through the federal Freedom of Information Act as part of an unofficial inquiry he is conducting into the April 19, 1995, bombing that killed 168 people and injured hundreds more.

"He said government officials claim the security cameras did not record the minutes before the bombing because "they had run out of tape" or "the tape was being replaced."

Based on what is well-known about how the FBI mistreated the rest of the OKBOMB evidence, missing critical frames on all tapes is precisely what we should expect.

You noticed that too? Many on death row rot for 30 years or more but not Timmy.

The DC sniper is also on the greased rails.

Can’t have them talking.

Leftist scumbags are so adept at editing video that it is no wonder that they would claim the ACORN tapes are edited.

Always accuse others of the things that you are actually doing!

The man on the right in Commander Hussein al-Husseini, an Iraqi Republican Guard officer, and the man who drove the Ryder truch, filled with explosives, to the Murrah Building in Okalahoma City.

Timothy McVeigh was a passenger in the Ryder truck.

Nichols went to the Phillipines several time to receive bomb-making lessons from a member of Al-Qaida.

This information is from Jayna Davis’s book, The Third Terrorist.

The owner of a motel tied McVeigh and Nichols to his motel at the very same time that Atta and Moussouri were there and they were seen together, BUT FBI was not interested.

Just like the number of people that saw a Middle Eastern man with McVeigh but FBI was not interested.

But then the same FBI said they found a suicide note three weeks later on the computer hard drive of the OU “lone suicide bomber” after the NPD blew up 18 loads of explosives that rattled my home and windows 5 miles away from the site. Same material that was taken from the suicide bomber’s car and apartment. But he wasn’t a terrorist.

My opinion of the FBI is not too great and frankly not surprised the tapes have been edited. In fact, I would have said that before I knew.

Why settle Iraqi Republican Guard in OKC after the first Gulf war?

I have a lot of questions with no answers. Murrah Bombing was a cover up but then so was the OU ‘lone suicide bomber’ and would bet many other happenings.

FBI personnel were ordered by President Clinton, via memo, to deep-six/ignore all information pertaining to persons of middle-eastern background. The memos were also ordered destroyed on order of President Clinton. The only reason we know about this is because one agent resigned and kept the memo. He showed it to Jayna Davis.

My guess is that the tapes show evidence of two separate explosions as indicated by a seismograph located nearby. This supports the work by retired USAF General Benton Partin, who ran the Air Force's weapons development program. ie he understood explosions. He has solid evidence the building was brought down by charges attached to the building's columns and not by a blast. The must stunning evidence he presented was columns that has significantly more damage, yet were further away from columns that showed very little damage.

I also remember 4-5 years ago, the Air Force built a structure that matched the infrastructure of the Fed building and ran several experimental bombings that attempted replicated the claimed method - didn't even touch the build, much less bring it down.

"The interesting thing is they spring back on after 9:02," he said. "The absence of footage from these crucial time intervals is evidence that there is something there that the FBI doesn't want anybody to see."

The FBI's track record for lying about OKBOMB evidence remains intact.


According to FBI SAIC Danny Defenbaugh, when asked if the FBI covered the crater to hide what really happened, Defenbaugh replied:

"Investigators weren't trying to hide anything from the public, only tryng to protect the evidence that was water soluble."

The Daily Oklahoman, 13 December, 1998.

On the morning of the bombing -- before it was covered -- the crater had already been flooded with dirty water, full of red Oklahoma mud -- with all sorts of debris floating on it!:

Yep -- you can always rely on our FBI for the truth... </sarc>

To support your comments, I remember from the trial that the FBI had interviewed several people that had spotted McVeigh downtown minutes before the explosion. Yet they were not called to testify. Seems one job of the prosecution would be to place the accused at the scene. It seems the reason they were not called, was because they placed a third man (the swarthy-looking man) with the two men.

I checked on Amazon and there are used copies of “The Final Report” by Charles Key. It is 45.99. Also a very good review of the book is listed there. I will have to check the library for a copy.

I also remember an episode of 20/20 that ran about 10 years ago. Tom Jerrel interviewed the producer of the episode, which was rather incredible. The producer (I think his name was Rodriguez) told Jerrel, "Tom, if you think this was stunning, wait until we air part 2 next week". Well, part 2 was never broadcasted and I believe I heard the producer was fired.

I order a copy of that first show and let the VHS tape sit on my shelf without viewing it. A year of so later I was telling a friend at work about all this and that I would loan him the tape. I did so, but that night I watched the broadcast again and was stunned that the last section talking about part 2 had been cut from the tape.

Al-Husseini didn’t just appear in Oklahoma City; he was later discovered working at the airport in Boston making up box lunches for the vendor who provided those (supposedly including box cutters) to jet liner hi-jacked by Mohammed Atta. Yes - he made up box lunches on 9/11/2001.

I don’t see that as coincidental, not at all.

As I recall, a witness got the license number of a brown pickup that was speeding from the Murrah building - the driver was identified as ME. Later, a rental car with that license number was stopped near Dallas - the ME men in the car were going to DFW. I think it’s very possible that those men arrived in the US at DFW, rented a car and drove to OKC where they switched the rental car plates to a pickup. After the bombing, they put the plates back on the rental car and bugged out for DFW and left the country.

BTW, I am also on Mary Fallin’s E-mail list : )

You are correct. Living in the San Antonio area at the time and that is exactly what came across the news.

Mary will make a really good Governor. Not a better spokesman for Oklahoma.

Mike, I posted that comparison right after Padilla was arrested.

I still find it amazing that not ONE media outlet thought to look that up.

I am also suspicious of the TWA explosion right before the Olympics.

Heck, I am suspicious about a lot of stuff. Time to stock up on canned goods, water, and ammo, I guess. LOL!
