... GL@BAL NEWS ... NEWS DID US GOVERNMENT KNOW OF OKLAHOMA BOMBING IN ADVANCE? * The Portland newspaper the Oregonian (20 April '95) stated that Judge Wayne Alley, whose office is right across from the Murrah building, was warned several days prior to the blast by "security specialists" to take "special precautions". This story has never resurfaced. ¢ USA Today (20 April '95) reported that Harvy Weathers, of the Oklahoma City Fire Department, said that the fire depart- ment had received a call from the FBI prior to the bombing, stating that there would be "some people entering the city over the weekend". Weathers did not explain what this meant, but obviously an army of FBI were to enter the city, at least after the bombing later the next week, to destroy and fabricate evidence. So the question is, how did the FBI know this beforehand? ¢ Oklahoma State Representative Charles Key has said that he knows of two witness- es who overheard ATF employees state that they were warned not to come to work that day. Key also points out that bomb squad employees were seen in front of the building at 7.15 am, about two hours prior to the blast. Rep. Key has conducted his own investigation and was so shocked with the evidence he uncovered that he has com- piled it into a video presentation. * The McVeigh defence team is in pos- session of tapes of a call made by the FBI, several days prior to the 19 April '95 blast, to Oklahoma City officials warning of a possible terrorist event in the next few days. This was reported by the Associated Press. (As much as a try to save every- thing, alas, I failed to save this AP report, but I assure you it exists and I'll find it as soon as I can find access to an AP article archive, or if we hear about it again.) * That bombs were found inside the building, while largely unknown, is no secret. It was reported widely on CNN and local news broadcasts on the day of the blast. Rescue operations were called off each time a bomb was found (i.e., up to four times), and Army bomb-disposal units worked to defuse the bombs. The bombs were found by bomb-sniffing dogs, which indicates that the bombs contained explo- sive material. ¢ KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City reported that two or more of the bombs found inside were "far larger in magnitude than the first that went off inside the building" (remem- ber that seismic readings measured two blasts). A terrorist expert, Dr Randall Heather, then spoke, saying, "We have both of the bombs that were defused at the site and they are being taken apart." One must assume, however, that these bombs were eventually misplaced by the FBI, as is common. The news coverage went on to say that another bomb was found strapped to a column next to the day- care centre. It is important to note that such a col- umn-strapped bomb is consistent with the blast pattern damage seen, which Brigadier General Partin, one of the top munitions experts in the world, says is not consistent with an ANFO truck bomb. He says that demolition charges had to be placed on the columns—and, sure enough, one was found that failed to go off. But, like all these bombs, they just seemed to disappear into oblivion along with any continuing media reports or seri- ous enquiries about these bombs. We are to believe that the building was gutted by a lone nut with a magic ANFO bomb—case closed! of Germany's most popular television news magazines of about US$250,000. Episodes depicting hunting, the Ku Klux Klan, and even war were all made with friends and paid actors. "Born is not alone in the dock," said a media expert. "There is no way that he got away with it for so long without his bosses turning a blind eye. The pictures were too good to be turned down." One of his 'exclusives' was footage of cats being hunted for their fur in Bavaria. A friend of Born posed as a cat hunter. He was filmed shooting a cat acquired from an animal refuge a few days earlier. Another faked 'scoop' featured drug-users licking ‘addictive’ glandular juices off the back of toads. Yet another was supposed to have depicted fighting along the Greek-Albanian border. Born admits that blood spattered on the ground was tomato ketchup and that the fighters were acting. But the German TV news reporter didn't stop there. Mr Born had his mother help him sew sheets into Ku Klux Klan robes, and he then filmed actors burning crosses and chanting anti-Semitic slogans. In the end, Mr Born's success was his downfall. German police began an investi- gation over the racial incidents. That's when they noticed the same person in two different reports!
