I will always distinctly remember hearing the first live local media reports from OKC on the radio. The reporters were giving out information from the medics and police at the scene for maybe twenty minutes.

Then suddenly it went totally national coverage. That is not unusual, no, but not one single local reporter was contacted for a live info from the scene. I always thought that strange. Someone shut the media down and fast.

As a person who sustained property damage in the bombing, and came within four minutes of being in the building nine years ago today, I will be asking my representatives, senators, and president to begin a special commission to investigate the OKC cover up. Please join me by contacting yours.

The list of withheld evidence was 89 pages by itself. The evidence should be a treasure trove of blame on the WH and efforts to short-circuit the investigation.

My apologies if I sound bitter, but I am.

There's a whole lot more to the OKC story than the "mainstream" press has cared to investigate.

For instance...John Doe #2 was identifed as an Iraqi, a former member of the Republican Guard, and later of the Mukhabarat.

Visit Jayna Davis' website and be astounded.

The trial judge has threatened to dismiss the death penalty case if evidence was withheld. McVeigh was executed in 2001...

I don't think even the Ninth Circuit could rescind McVeigh's execution.

Thank the dumbass RATs for putting Gorelick on the Commission. That was the biggest screw-up they have had in a long time even if the RATmedia is suppressing the memo's implications and relevence.

No screw up. She was put there by design.

Posted in another thread:


Even Clinton staffers know the truth

But according to former Clinton staffers, it's doubtful Gorelick will budge. "She's on that commission for a reason, and it isn't because of her brilliant legal mind," says a former DNC and Clinton White House staffer. "She's there to make sure Bush and his team look as bad as possible and to protect the Clintons and Reno."

I wonder if there's any CIA people out there who were prevented from getting involved in this because of the the "Wall".

Sure, if the press bothers to get on this for more than two minutes, but I doubt it. The government and the press will bury this.

But the Secret Service log reported on April 24 and April 25, 1995, that there was security footage showing the Ryder truck pulling up to the Murrah building. The log does not say where such video came from or who possessed it.

I wonder if this has anything to do with a certain New Mexico security company run by Sikhs.

I certainly don't think he was innocent, but for sure had more help than has been proven in court.

"The Secret Service worked cooperatively with the FBI and other federal state and local law enforcement throughout the investigation," Bopp said.

This means "Hey, don't look at us, we just provided our information, somebody else (FBI) must have made the adjustments."

Did you know that the law firm she's in business with is representing the Saudi guy that 9/11 families are suing?

That alone should disqualify her from sitting on the commission.

I'm still trying to figure *this* one out -- it appeared in the newspapers in 1995, then quickly faded away with no followup:
"Third suspect identified in Oklahoma bombing"
By Dan Thomasson and Peter Copeland
Scripps Howard News Service
[Printed on page A1 of the May 12, 1995 _Houston Chronicle_]

A third man wanted in the Oklahoma City bombing has been identified as Steven Colbern, a fugitive from a previous firearms charge.

Colbern, aged 35 or 36, is described as 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds with green eyes, which roughly matches the description of John Doe II.

Law enforcement sources said Thrusday night that Colbern was identified through his brown pickup. It was captured, by chance on video taken from the state trooper's car that stopped Timothy McVeigh for speeding only 80 minutes after the blast.

"That trooper had a hell of a day," a federal investigator said.

An automatic camera in the car of Trooper Charles Hanger was taping the arrest of McVeigh. In the background was the image of the pickup, which also pulled over while McVeigh was being questioned.

Sophisticated enhancement techniques were used to improve the video until investigators could read the license plate number.

The truck, registered to Colbern, contained traces of ammonium nitrate, believed to be the main explosive ingredient used in the bombing.

Colbern's age is uncertain. His address is unknown, but he shared a mail drop with McVeigh in Kingman, Ariz., sources said. The truck was found parked outside an abandoned mobile home in Kingman.

Colbern already was wanted on a federal firearms charge, officials said. He was arrested last summer in San Bernadino, Calif., for carrying a gun with a silencer. He was allowed to post bail but skipped.

[The rest of the article deals with McVeigh and Nichols, and makes no further mention of Colbern.]
