Oklahoma City bombing From OSB 98.02.01This was posted on FreeRepublic on Jan. 21, 1998 [I don't have the url address]:“Ohio Convict Links Brother To Tim McVey”, SJ Merc, 21 Jan 98.“One of the brothers caught on video tape in a shoot-out with police told a Wilmington Ohio court Tuesday, his brother was involved in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. ‘At this point, I do have knowledge that my brother was involved in the bombing of a Federal Building’, Shane Kehoe, 21, told a judge, before he was sentenced to 24 and a half years in prison for his part in the shoot-out. He did not elaborate in the comments about his brother Chevy Kehoe, 24, or make any mention of the Federal building bombing. The brothers escaped the police shoot-out and eluded a fugitive hunt for more than four months before Shane surrendered. Chevy Kehoe has since been indicted in the Arkansas killings of a gun dealer, his wife and daughter. Last week, the FBI confirmed it was investigating a report published in Spokane Washington, that Chevy Kehoe told a motel manager there he wanted to watch TV the morning of the Oklahoma City bombing, because he expected something major was about to happen. The manager, who no longer works for the motel, told authorities that he believes Chevy stayed at the motel with Timothy McVey, the convicted Oklahoma City bomber, a few months before the bombing. He said Kehoe introduced a man fitting McVeys description as ‘Tim’, the newspaper reported.” Dave adds that there is no mention anywhere in here that both brothers were paramilitary right-wingers and white-supramacists and part of the Nazi Aryan Nation.
“AMIA Bomb Plotters Connection”, La Nacion [from Argentina], 27 Jul 97.“While investigation the Oklahoma City bombing, the FBI discovered that the Argentinian branch of Tom Metzger’s White Aryian Resistance was located in the home of someone connected to the AMIA plotters. Timothy McVey, condemned to death for the attack on the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, belonged to The White Aryian Resistance. The FBI identified a group of eight men connected to the AMIA bombing. Three of the men used cellular telephones. An FBI undercover agent infiltrated the group nicknamed “Los Conchitas” who formed part of a larger organization called POC.” The connections here are not very clear [sb].“The Beast Re-Awakens”, Martin A.

Wondering what 'AMIA' was in this article, I turned to good ole Google again, resulting in this link which I dutifully followed.
What I found was instantly of interest, and as I read on, that interest turned to wonder, then amazement, and then to just sick.

New Leads in AMIA Bombing?
First Page - by Uki Goñi - Buenos Aires - 20 December 1995
In a dramatic series of arrests a group of 14 Army NCOs and civilians suspected of involvement in the bombing of Latin America's largest Jewish community center have been captured in Buenos Aires. The arrests at the start of December included a police raid on Argentina's most important Army base, an unheard of occurrence in a country where the military have for decades stood above the law after time and again ousting democratically-elected governments to impose their iron rule. Although the first lead followed in the July 18, 1994 bombing of the AMIA (Argentine Israeli Mutual Association) pointed to the involvement of Iran, the possibility of a "local connection" has been part of the investigation from the very start. The bombing of the AMIA resulted in 86 deaths and at least 120 wounded, the most lethal attack against any diaspora Jewish community since the Holocaust. It occurred only 28 months after the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires was also bombed, killing 29 people.
In dramatic live TV coverage of these latest raids, investigating judge Juan José Galeano and prosecutor Eamon Mullen were seen walking through the grounds of the Army base of Campo de Mayo on Friday, December 1, as a helicopter whisked away the arrested officers who were dressed in civilian clothes. Large amounts of munitions, arms, explosives and detonators were found on the same day in a series of raids at the homes of various officers and retired officers in the districts of Merlo and Moron in Western Greater Buenos Aires. A total of 14 persons, 10 Army NCOs and four civilians, remained under arrest on Wednesday, December 6, including Sergeant Jorge Pacifico who admits having been within three blocks of the AMIA building when the explosion occurred.
Pacifico is a veteran of Argentina's Malvinas/Falklands war with Great Britain in 1982 and claims he was in the area to help out a friend in a car purchase the morning of the blast. "I am an expert in BMWs," he is reported to have told the judge. also significantly, he is a leading member of the MODIN party, the political outgrowth of the extreme right-wing "carapintadas" group of Army officers.
Pacifico and a few others of the arrested officers form part of the "carapintadas" faction which led two uprisings in 1987 and 1988 against the democratic government of former president Raúl Alfonsín and another uprising against current President Carlos Menem in 1990. The leader of the group, ex-colonel Mohamed Ali Seineldin, under arrest since the last uprising, is known to be strongly anti-semitic. "It's easier to find a green dog than an honest jew," Seineldin was quoted as saying during the "carapintada" revolt of Villa Martelli in 1988.
Prosecutor Mullen was understandably proud of what he termed the first lead into the local suppliers of the explosives which might have been used in the AMIA bombing. "It is the first time we have evidence to enter the area of arms trafficking and explosives. it is the result of three months of investigation," said Mullen. Although he would not explicitly admit it, the prosecutor said that phone taps showed that the arrested "carapintadas" feared being linked to the AMIA case. "The important thing with these arrests is that we have found experts in explosives who in conversations among themselves talked about AMIA and said that they were afraid that judge Galeano was on their heels."
Mullen did not dismiss the possibility that higher-ranking Army officers may be involved and was hopeful that the arrests so far could act as a wedge opening up further leads. "Getting explosives out of a base requires permits and signatures. these people had the explosives and arms in their homes."
The raids by Judge Galeano and his team are the most important in an arms and explosives-related case in Argentine history and follow some 60 raids three months ago to try and trace the buyer of the Renault van which is believed to have been used as a car bomb in the case. "We are moving ahead constantly," said Mullen.
While Jewish community leaders were pleased to see the investigation proceeding full strength into the "local connection" they remained cautious in their remarks to the press. "We see the judge is active, although the results so far in establishing a local connection are not satisfactory," said AMIA President Alberto Crupnicoff.
Israeli Ambassador to Buenos Aires Itzhak Aviran was also guarded in his comments. "We have had arrests before and we still haven't found anybody to bring to trial," the diplomat said.
"We have had some 30 arrests before these new ones since the start of the investigation," said journalist Roman Lejtman, who has written a series of ground-breaking articles on the "local connection" for the daily 'Página/12'. "But only one person stuck in jail, Carlos Telleldin, who sold the van which is believed to have been used in the bombing."
But who bought the van and drove it to the AMIA remains a mystery. Telleldin was the first lead in the "local connection," and has confessed to close links with the Buenos Aires provincial police. Telleldin claims that in exchange for bribes the police turned a blind eye to his illegal dealings in stolen motor vehicles. A series of dramatic arrests by Judge Galeano trying to link the Buenos Aires police with the Renault van a few months ago finally led to a dead end and even the latest "carapintada" arrests have failed to fully reestablish the credibility of the investigation.
The Argentine Army, which has been making a determined attempt to reestablish its democratic credentials since the end of the military dictatorship in 1983, was badly shaken by the latest round of arrests. Although the Army is believed to have granted full collaboration to Judge Galeano, after a full day of silence, a nervous comander-in-chief, General Martín Balza, faced reporters trying to minimize the impact. "As far as we know that armament does not belong to the Army, we have no reports of missing armament," said Balza. "But if there are rotten apples, they will be separated from the Army."
The arrests once again exposed the dark underbelly of Argentina's security forces and intelligence community, long believed to be nests of right-wing extremism. "To find out who perpetrated the AMIA bombing you have to unravel the problem of the right-wing extremist infiltration of Argentina's security forces," said Sergio Kiernan, an advisor to the American Jewish Committee and author of the committee's report on the AMIA bombing.
"The key question in the case is who provided local intelligence and support," according to Horacio Lutzky, editor of "Nueva Zion" magazine, who is quoted in the report. "That means looking into the nazi underground, and we all know of the deep influence Nazi ideas have on the Argentine police, military and security agencies."
The fact that the security forces have been seen to drag their feet in the investigation of both the Israeli Embassy and AMIA bombings has only increased concern. "The security forces have not shown the kind of enthusiasm in this investigation that they have shown in persecuting left-wing terrorism, their loyalty seems to be to their own strange concept of country and not to the real state or its authorities," said Kiernan.
A parallel investigation into the bombing has been conducted by Joe Goldman, a U.S. journalist based in Buenos Aires who together with Argentine journalist Jorge Lanata assembled a team of 10 young investigators and published "Cortinas de Humo" ("Smoke Screens") a book which maintains that explosives were placed directly inside the AMIA building and that no car bomb was used.
"We searched 43 rooftops around the AMIA building and found that the police had not been even remotely thorough in their work," said Goldman. "They were so sloppy in their collection of evidence that it makes you wonder if they really wanted to find out what had really happened, especially in the essential first few hours after the blast."
"None of the police and military officers who participated in the disappearance of some 15,000 Argentines during the 1976/83 military government are in jail. After being purged from service they were left to their own devices. They are in their early forties today and are unemployed, so to speak," said Goldman. "There is good reason to believe that they would have the ideological and mercenary motives to be involved in this kind of case."
Jews were singled out for especially harsh treatment by the military repressors, and were forced to listen to tapes of Hitler speeches and Wagner operas in the concentration camps which flourished in the late 70s in Argentina. "The bombing of the AMIA could have resulted from this cancer from within with ideological aid from abroad," said Goldman.
As an example of the kind of antics Argentina's intelligence services have played with his team of investigators, Goldman pointed out that no mail arrived at a post office box which they opened for persons wishing to provide anonymous testimony. "We decided to mail fifteen letters to ourselves from different post offices. They never arrived."
When team leader Lanata started receiving serious death threats the Argentine government was unable to provide police custody. "I can't do anything about it because I don't control the Federal Police," Lanata was told by then-minister of the interior Carlos Ruckauf, who became Argentina's new vice-president in this year's presidential elections, which brought about the reelection of President Menem.
Outrage at the lack of tangible progress in the investigation has resulted in the formation of "Memoria Activa" ("Active Memory") a group of relatives of the victims of the blast who meet outside the law courts building in Buenos Aires every Monday morning to demand convictions in the case.
Diana Malamud (36), widow of one of the victims, has always believed that there is a "local connection" in the AMIA case. "I am not surprised by the arrests of 'carapintadas.' We know the history of the military in our country and we had already witnessed revelations regarding the alleged involvement of members of the police force. It was already well known that members of the security forces were involved in arms trafficking."
The widow is also aware of anti-semitism in Argentina's security forces. "It has been a germ in the Armed Forces since forever. The fact that the crimes against humanity of the military dictatorship remain unpunished opens the door to new killings as in the cases of the Israeli Embassy and the AMIA."
Anti-semitism is a fact of life for Jews in Argentina, said Laura Ginsburg (37), also a member of "Memoria Activa" who lost her husband in the blast. "Discrimination always existed but it has become more noticeable to us since the bombing, people are scared they can be killed if they live next to a Jewish school, synagogue or institution."
The tight security around these buildings, including concrete blocks on the sidewalk to prevent potential car bombers from driving up next to a target, makes a clear distinction between Jewish and non-Jewish citizens, said Ginsburg. "Security is like a Star of David in the Nazi concentration camps."
The relatives of the victims have learned to live with the telephone threats which started practically since the dust settled around the ruins of the AMIA building. "The families of the victims receive reiterated and systematic threats, they insult us, and play classical music over the phone," said Ginsburg.
"Last week I got a call with music followed by the message from the answering machine of the relative of another victim," said Malamud. "We have all had to buy answering machines to screen our calls."
Ginsburg is convinced that the calls are part of a larger picture. "The threats are so systematic that we are convinced that they are not cooks, we consider that the threats following the bombing are part of a single, rational plan."
Although they have not given up hope that the culprits of the bombing may be eventually found, the members of "Memoria Activa" are discouraged by the fact that President Menem has turned down their repeated requests for an interview. "Menem has met with the Rolling Stones and with Claudia Schiffer when they came to Argentina, but he apparently does not have time to meet with the relatives of the AMIA bombing," said Ginsburg.
"We hope the case will be resolved, if there are results then we will begin to trust the investigators. There have been lots of frustrations in the year and a half of investigation and it was only after 500 days that some progress appears to have been made," added Malamud.
But the lack of zeal which Argentina's judicial system displays in tackling anti-semitism is illustrated by a large swastika which until a few months ago was etched out with a pen-knife inside an elevator in the Buenos Aires law courts building. "When I entered the building one morning this year after attending one of the AMIA marches I was shocked to discover the swastika," said Horacio Mendez Carrerras, an Argentine human rights lawyer. "But I was doubly shocked that none of my fellow lawyers expressed any outrage. When I protested to the building's maintenance office, the swastika was double the size the next day. After a whole week went by I had to send a letter to the architect in charge of the building's upkeep and only then was it painted over."

To: Atticus318Argentine investigators eye U.S. neo-Nazis in bomb attack
SERGIO KIERNAN
Jewish Telegraphic Agency
BUENOS AIRES -- American-neo Nazi groups are being eyed as a possible link in the deadly July1994 bombing of the Jewish community center in Argentina, sources close to the case said.
At least one suspect arrested in December during raids in and around a major military base outside Buenos Aires was found in possession of a sizable amount of American neo-Nazi literature, the sources said.
Police found hidden at the suspect's residence several books, leaflets and magazines edited by a group called White Aryan Resistance, which was founded by American extremist Tom Metzger.
Sources said Judge Juan Jose Galeano, who is in charge of the case, is investigating the extent of influence that group and other American militia movements may have in Argentina.
Jewish leaders here and abroad have charged the investigation has taken too long, and produced no satisfactory explanation for the attack that destroyed the headquarters of the Argentine Jewish Mutual Aid Association, or AMIA, which left 86 dead and more than 300 wounded.
An earlier attack on the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires also remains unsolved. The car bombing of the embassy in March 1992 killed 29 people and left more than 100 injured.
Making his first public statement about the case in months, Galeano apologized this week for the length of time that the AMIA investigation has taken.
"It has not been easy. We are not experts in terrorism," he said.
Seems someone else thinks there may be some sort of connection here

I'm beginning to think there is no White Aryan Resistance. I'm beginning to think that it's all just a big Nursery for growing Spooks and Informants.

To: Atticus318I feel like a dolt on this one.
While I felt many other were involved in the Oklahoma City bombing with Timothy McVey,probably Aryan Nation types.
I could never see, when ther was talk that the may a Middle East involvement why anti American Arab type would be allied with white supremacists Aryan Nation.But dua ..! there is of course there common reason for these group to ally,on anti-Semitic anti-Israel grounds.
They would get the most political advantage out of OKC they connected this act to the main stream American right as much as possible. Remember them at the time trying to blame OKC on “right wing radio” AKA Rush Limbaugh. If OKC is just the usual anti American suspects there no way the public is going to buy in some how OKC is some how to blame on American conservatism.
However, strip away the Middle East anti-Semitic anti-Israel Arab and strip away the anti-Semitic Nazi Aryan Nation and your left blaming OKC on a lone paramilitary right-winger type.
We all know the stereotype paramilitary right-winger type a little on the fringe but not much, likes guns, like to hear Limbaugh, likes Free Republic, think he taxed to much, probably votes Regan republican, thinks Bill Clinton a crook, bombs government buildings, want to kill hundreds of children and innocent people, yea you know that stereotype because isn’t the way that Clinton & Carvell & the Democrats try to portray conservatism
At the very best, there would be very strong “wishful thinking” on the Clinton administration part to somehow have this connect in the public mind to his political opposition and the same time not see anything the might change that public mindset

Wasn't there a "middle-eastern type" person who was supposedly seen with McVeigh around the time of the bombing? Is there a Jewish connection to the OKC Federal Building? What contacts did McVeigh have in the military? Where did he serve and what shadowy groups are there in military intelligence?
Getting a headache, yet?

To: Atticus318It is very hard to find anything substantive connecting terrorist events and the White Aryan Resistance or other such groups since they employ the method of "Leaderless Cells" to protect themselves.

To: Atticus318I well remember the story about the Chevy Kehoe wanting to watch TV the morning of the bombing. As I remember it, he arrived in the manager's office only fifteen minutes, or so, before the bombing, and wanted to watch CNN. I believed he was described as being pleased with what he soon saw on CNN.
I was not aware that Chevy's brother told the judge that Chevy was involved in the bombing.
Did you know that they all had a connection to Elohim City?
I suspect the FBI would look at all this and say: (1) McVeigh and Kehoe have a common connection. (2) The motel manager says that Chevy Kehoe came to his office just minutes before the bombing, and stated that he wanted to watch CNN because something big was going to happen. (3) The building blows up, and Chevy Kehoe is most pleased. And, (4) Chevy Kehoe's brother tell a judge that Chevy is involved in the bombing of a federal building.
Nope, nothing to see here. Just a series of flukes.

Kehoe ties his brother to bombing
01/21/98
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
After the trial, in a brief meeting with reporters in front of the Clinton County Courthouse, he suggested that his brother, Chevie Kehoe -- who is charged in the deaths of an Arkansas family -- was involved in the Oklahoma City bombing.
''At this point, I do have knowledge of my brother's involvement in the bombing of a federal building,'' Cheyne Kehoe said. His response was in answer to a reporter's question, "Does Chevie have any ties to the Oklahoma City bombing or to Tim McVeigh?"
Cheyne Kehoe, 21, declined to elaborate.
He was sentenced in Clinton County Common Pleas Court for a Feb. 15, 1997, gunfight with police officers. He was convicted Jan. 12 of attempted murder, felonious assault and carrying a concealed weapon.
A Spokane, Wash., newspaper reported last week that Chevie Kehoe may have known the Oklahoma City federal building bombing was being planned days before the blast. He showed up at a Spokane motel on April 19, 1995, about 45 minutes before the bomb went off and wanted to watch CNN, The Spokesman-Review reported. Chevie Kehoe is scheduled to be arraigned today on federal racketeering charges in Little Rock, where he and two other men are charged with planning a revolt against the U.S. government. He and a co-defendant also are charged with murder and racketeering in the January 1996 deaths of a Tilly gun dealer, William Mueller, and his family.
Chevie Kehoe's court-appointed Arkansas attorney, John Wesley Hall of Little Rock, made light of Cheyne Kehoe's suggestion that Chevie Kehoe was involved in the Oklahoma City bombing.
"Gosh," he said, "Do you really think the FBI would have overlooked him?"
U.S. Attorney Paula Casey, who is prosecuting the federal charges, had no comment.
Before being transferred for his federal arraignment, Chevie Kehoe was in jail awaiting trial Feb. 23 in Wilmington on gunbattle charges similar to those his brother faced. Police said the gunbattle started after officers made a traffic stop of the Kehoes' car. The Kehoes are from Colville, Wash.
Cheyne Kehoe told reporters Tuesday that he's afraid of his brother. He said he isn't sure if he will testify at his brother's trial.
Cheyne Kehoe has given prosecutors a 140-page statement detailing his older brother's alleged role in the Mueller deaths, as well as his role in the formation of a whites-only homeland in the Pacific Northwest.
Jerry McHenry, an assistant state public defender representing Chevie Kehoe, did not return a telephone call Tuesday for a response to Cheyne Kehoe's remarks.
Prosecutors asked Judge William McCracken to sentence Cheyne Kehoe to 27 1/2 years in prison. The defense argued for a 10-year term, and said it will appeal.
McCracken said Cheyne Kehoe, who said he fired at police officers in self-defense, deserved a stiff sentence because his actions were dangerous.
''The defendant has shown no remorse,'' the judge said. ''The statements given by the defendant were self-serving.''
''I'm very disappointed. I believe it's a sentence that was undue for the actions taken that day,'' Cheyne Kehoe said.
The jury was repeatedly shown the videotape, made by a dashboard camera in a state trooper's car, of the Feb. 15 gunfight between Cheyne Kehoe and the trooper and a Clinton County deputy sheriff. The officers escaped injury.
Chevie Kehoe, along with the charges his brother faced, will be tried on charges of fleeing and eluding, and improper transportation of firearms.
He is accused of shooting at two Wilmington police officers minutes after the first shooting. The officers were not hit, but a driver of a pickup nearby was hit in the shoulder by a bullet, police said.
Cheyne Kehoe surrendered in June in Washington state and told authorities where to find his brother in Utah.

Ark. jury begins deliberations in Chevie Kehoe's murder trial
Prosecution seeks death penalty
BY PEGGY HARRIS
The Associated Press
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — To prosecutors, Chevie Kehoe and Danny Lee are crass conspirators who used robbery and murder to try to overthrow the government and set up a whites-only nation. To defense lawyers, they may have had repugnant beliefs but never had the means to do what prosecutors claim.The two sides completed closing arguments Friday before a mostly black jury in the nine-week-old trial of Mr. Kehoe, of Colville, Wash., and Mr. Lee, of Yukon, Okla. After listening to 95 pages of instructions — which took U.S. District Judge G. Thomas Eisele more than two hours to read — the jury deliberated about 20 minutes, then recessed until Monday.
The men, both 26, are charged with racketeering, conspiracy and the murder of Arkansas gun dealer William Mueller, his wife and her 8-year-old daughter. The government is seeking the death penalty.
Prosecutors say Mr. Kehoe and Mr. Lee planned to set up the Aryan People's Republic in the Pacific Northwest and their plan also involved two other murders, a bombing of City Hall in Spokane, Wash., a robbery of a Washington couple and a 1997 shootout with police in Ohio.
To find them guilty, the jury will have to find they were part of an enterprise and committed two of the alleged crimes associated with it, defense lawyers said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney General Dan Stripling told the jury that Mr. Kehoe was the leader and Mr. Lee the follower. He said they held similar racist beliefs and recruited or tried to recruit others to their cause.
Mr. Stripling said testimony from Gloria Kehoe, Mr. Kehoe's mother, and from Cheyne Kehoe, Mr. Kehoe's brother, supported evidence that Chevie Kehoe and Mr. Lee were responsible for the January 1996 deaths of Mr. Mueller, his wife, Nancy, and her daughter, Sarah Powell. He said that while Cheyne Kehoe was implicated by defense witnesses, he also had an alibi — he was living in Washington at the time of the Muellers' deaths.
“The proof is clear that these people wanted to get together. They wanted to support themselves by stealing from others. They didn't want to work,” Mr. Stripling said. “Chevie Kehoe and Danny Lee did these crimes.”
The defense attacked the credibility of the prosecution's main witnesses, and the time-frame laid out by the government.
Gloria Kehoe, who testified that Chevie Kehoe told her that he and Mr. Lee killed an Arkansas gun dealer and his family, “is simply unworthy of belief. You should entirely disregard her testimony,” said Jack Lassiter, a lawyer for Mr. Lee.
Mr. Lassiter said Ms. Kehoe had been working for the federal government as a witness and had received more than $20,000 a year.
“She appears to be completely and totally dependent on the government,” Mr. Lassiter said. “She gave evasive answers.”
Cheyne Kehoe, who also testified for the prosecution, didn't have much to say about Mr. Lee, Mr. Lassiter said.
“Any reference to Mr. Lee in Cheyne Kehoe's testimony comes through what he relates that Chevie Kehoe told him,” Mr. Lassiter said.
On Thursday, Kehoe lawyer Tom Sullivan told jury that Mr. Kehoe's beliefs were not on trial and the government hadn't shown there was a conspiracy.
And it's not Father Knows Best either.

Been there, done that, yesterday. Well, late last night. Well, OKOKOK, it was in the wee hours of today. Found this for starters. More is available if you dig further, but this is a good starting point.
Funny, I wasn't even aware there was such an urgent need to "create a computerized data base and investigative protocol for the investigation of large-scale vehicle bombs in 1993-94"... were you?
:::sighs::: I guess that's what you get when you don't pay attention.
I'm sure that "basic computer software" in a "format useable by law enforcement agencies around the world" for "crime scene management and analysis" is something that we musta needed, huh? Otherwise I know the National Security Council wouldn't have funded it. And surely the ATF is too busy for some sort of foolishness, right? And hey, those guys at the Defense Nuclear Agency are not about to join in any DimeStoreShow.
So I feel assured that it was vital to "national security" for this project to be carried out. BULLSHIT=OFF
Documentation of each event began with high speed photography and video. After each test, a complete crate profile was done by contract surveyors and documented further with still photography.
See? Practice makes perfect.

It gave them practice in mixing 1000-pound plus prills as well....
Now combine your DIPOLE MIGHT [spelled Dipole Mite by some *authorities*] research into a good look at the old COMMANDO VAULT project of creating charges of nearly 15,000 pounds to create *instant [helicopter] landing zones* for use in Vietnam and other places where a large, open space was needed suddenly. The BLU-82 *daisy cutter* as fielded to the troops was made with a water-gel explosive, easier for Air Force units at remote airfields to store and prepare. But some of the preliminary testing was done with prilled ammonium nitrate charges mixed mechanically....
