Appendix Endnotes Index This book is dedicated to Ace Hayes, my friend and primary mentor, who passed away as this book went to press. As a speaker, and through his small newspaper, the Portland Free Press, Ace hammered away at the establishment with a loquacious cynicism and wit. Ace fought the battle with both pen and sword, dodging the law on the front lines of the trenches. He was both inspirational and instrumental in bringing this book to light. His friendship and counsel will be sorely missed. Note: The names of certain individuals have been changed and noted in the text. Libel law does not make generous allowances for the use of real names in the case of a person who has not been officially indicted, or who has not gone public (i.e., been previously interviewed in print or on TV), or who is not a public figure.

My publisher, Adam Parfrey, who instinctively understood the significance of this crime, and, took a chance on me when none of big publishers would. State Representative Charles Key, who became a good friend. A man whose humor, faith, and courage to stand up and publicly question the governments' official line, putting his life and his career on the line, became an anchor for us all. Jayna Davis of KFOR, the original lead investigator on the Middle Eastern angle, eventhough the New York Times Broadcasting Company shut down her investigation and took away her helicopter and cell phone. David Hall of KPOC-TV, who gave me most of the leads I wouldn't have gotten anywhere else. Last I heard, the IRS was screwing with Hall because of his courageous work on the Waco case. Craig Roberts, whose patience and generosity proved invaluable. Craig was a staunch ally whose tenacity and good humor proved an inspiration when I became frustrated (which was pretty often). Craig's cop friend Randy, who sneaked into the NCIC now and then when we needed it. Leslie Jorgensen, (Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report ) a great gal with a marvelous sense of humor, who kept me up to date on the latest gossip and straightened me out about certain lawyers. Gene Wheaton, who took me for a circuitous ride through the desert to talk to me in a scene reminiscent of Mr. "X" in the movie JFK, then regaled me mostly with personal stories about his interesting life. Bill McCoy (may he rest in peace), who provided humorous translations for Wheaton's conspiracy theory theories, and was instrumental in keeping "scribblers" like me on the path. Ace Hayes (may he rest in peace), publisher of the Portland Free Press, and my main mentor, who helped me to understand how the system really works, or at least the system according to Ace. Sherman Skolnick, my other main mentor, who never let me forget how many years he's been in the business, and reminded me that I have a long way to go, Will Northrop, "Matzo-Ball Charlie," who claimed to work for every Israeli intelligence agency except the Mossad, then took me for $1600 to sip Margaritas in Florida. Mike Johnston, who accused me of stealing his book, Abu-Nidal: A Gun For Hire, when he knows full well that it was stolen by Chinese cleaning ladies and used as Won Ton wrappers. James "Jimmy" Rothstein, whose openness, patience, and selflessness proved to be a guiding light in the murky and confusing world of spooks and criminals. Mien Furher, Al Martin, Iran-Contra "insider extraodinaire," whose still waiting for his $100,000 retainer fee. Bill Jasper of the John Birch Society, who is convinced it really is all a Communist plot. George Wallace who introduced me to Jasper and kept the Commie hunters off my back. Roger Cravens, Dave Rydel, Claire Wolfe, Jon Roland, and other Patriots who posted important and much-needed information on the state of our nation on the Patriots' Information Mailing List (PIML); and Ian Goddard, Bob Hall, and others who did the same on the OKBOMB mailing list. Laurie Mylroie of the Foreign Policy Institute, for her in-depth analysis of the Iraqis and the World Trade Center bombing. Terry Cook, for his videos and books, and his excellent and comprehensive research on the staggering new technology that is taking control over our lives. Jim Levine, and Terry and Kelly, who handled our account and especially Jim's mother, who made me Chicken soup when I was sick. And finally, Mr. "M," without who's generous financial support, none of this would have been possible. And I can't leave out all those people who, although aware of the efforts of the authors and others in attempting to bring this information to the public, were either indifferent, or actually obstructed these efforts. The first of these honors goes to the so-called "Justice" Department and the FBI. And to the state Attorney General, Drew Edmondson, and the local District Attorney in Oklahoma City, Bob Macy, who has an annoying tendency to talk out of both sides of his mouth. Oh, Bob, what is that stench?! And the supervisors of the business office of Southwestern Bell and specifically Mr. Edwards and Mr. Dave Lopez, President of SWB, whose cold, callous, indifference and lack of empathy when I became behind on my phone bill resulted in the termination of my phone service for three weeks, my poor old mother thinking I was dead, and the interruption of our investigation, which they were fully aware of. And the kind and generous folks of M.C.I. Communications, who not only refused to sponsor our investigation, they never even sent a reply to my inquiry. May they and the principals of SWB get what they deserve. And ultimately, all my friends who have kept me [partially] sane throughout the years, even though conspiracies have a way of making one come unglued: Ron Ulfohn, Joe Williams, John Flores, David Wills, Lorenzo, Jon and Lisa, and all those helpful souls I've undoubtedly missed, including my parents (although I'm not sure they've helped me keep sane). Brought to you by SolarGeneral.com Foreward On April 19, 1995 when I heard the news (and literally heard the explosion) of the Murrah building, I was dumbfounded. As the realization sunk in that so many people and children were killed, I, along with millions of others watching the news coverage, felt that indescribable, overwhelming sensation in the pit of my stomach.

Timothy James McVeigh and Terry Lynn Nichols. On April 19, 1995, two years to the day after the infamous Federal Bureau of Investigation and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms raid on the Branch Davidians at Waco, Texas, a homemade bomb delivered inside of a Ryder rental truck was detonated in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Timothy McVeigh, as well as his accomplice Terry Nichols, were accused of and, in 1997, found guilty of the crime, and McVeigh was executed in 2001. Terry Nichols is still serving his sentence of 161 consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole in the ADX Florence super maximum-security prison in Florence, Colorado.

  • Media Interaction with the Public in Emergency Situations: Four Case Studies
    MEDIA INTERACTION WITH THE PUBLIC IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS: FOUR CASE STUDIES A Report Prepared under an Interagency Agreement by the Federal Research Division, Library of Congress August 1999 Authors: LaVerle Berry Amanda Jones Terence Powers Project Manager: Andrea M. Savada Federal Research Division Library of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540–4840 Tel: 202–707–3900 Fax: 202–707–3920 E-Mail: [email protected] Homepage:http://www.loc.gov/rr/frd/ PREFACE The following report provides an analysis of media coverage of four major emergency situations in the United States and the impact of that coverage on the public. The situations analyzed are the Three Mile Island nuclear accident (1979), the Los Angeles riots (1992), the World Trade Center bombing (1993), and the Oklahoma City bombing (1995). Each study consists of a chronology of events followed by a discussion of the interaction of the media and the public in that particular situation. Emphasis is upon the initial hours or days of each event. Print and television coverage was analyzed in each study; radio coverage was analyzed in one instance. The conclusion discusses several themes that emerge from a comparison of the role of the media in these emergencies. Sources consulted appear in the bibliography at the end of the report. i TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE ................................................................... i INTRODUCTION: THE MEDIA IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS .................... iv THE THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR ACCIDENT, 1979 ..........................1 Chronology of Events, March

NORTH CAROLINA JOURNAL OF LAW & TECHNOLOGY VOLUME 3, IssuE 1: FALL 2001 Comment: Death Watch: Why America Was Not Allowed To Watch Timothy McVeigh Die Robert PerryBarnidge, Jr.1 I. Introduction Timothy J. McVeigh was sentenced to death on August 14, 1997, for the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, which left 168 people dead.2 Although United States Attorney General John Ashcroft explained that "all the citizens of the United States were victims of the crimes perpetrated by Mr. McVeigh,",3 all such victims were not allowed to watch McVeigh's execution by lethal injection at the United States Penitentiary at Terre Haute (USPTH) on June 11, 2001 . Partly because of the logistical difficulties in accommodating the wishes of the survivors and the victims' families in personally viewing McVeigh's execution, Ashcroft approved of a setup whereby a closed circuit transmission of McVeigh's execution would be available exclusively to "authorized survivors and family members of victims, and designated counselors and government representatives." 5 Among the stipulations were that the broadcast would be 1J.D.

  • Terrorist Conspiracies, Plots and Attacks by Right-Wing Extremists, 1995-2015
    Terrorist Conspiracies, Plots and Attacks by Right-wing Extremists, 1995-2015 Twenty years after Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols bombed the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in April 1995, the bombing remains the worst act of domestic terrorism in American history. The bombing has also been the worst instance of right‐wing violence in the United States—but hardly an isolated one. In fact, the April 19 attack was only the most serious of a long chain of violent terrorist acts, conspiracies and plots committed by adherents of right‐wing extremist movements in the United States. Violence stemming from anti‐government extremists, white supremacists, anti‐abortion extremists and other extreme right movements occurs with regularity each year, typically dwarfing the amount of violence from other domestic extremist movements. What follows is a select list of terrorist plots, conspiracies and acts committed by right‐wing extremists during the period 1995‐2015. It is not a comprehensive list of all right‐wing violence. Many murders, including unplanned or spontaneous acts of violence, are not included here, nor are thousands of lesser incidents of violence. Such a compilation would be book‐length. Rather, this list focuses only on premeditated plots or acts by right‐wing extremist individuals or groups that rise to the level of attempted or actual domestic terrorism. Even narrowly construed, this list of incidents dramatically demonstrates the wide scope, great intensity and undeniable danger of right‐wing violence in the United States. 1995 Various states, October 1994 to December 1995: Members of the white supremacist Aryan Republican Army committed more than 20 armed bank robberies in the Midwestern states of Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, Ohio, Nebraska, Kansas, and Kentucky in order to raise money to assist them in their plan to overthrow the U.S.

  • Mystery Surrounds German's Link to Bombing
    Mystery Surrounds German's Link to Bombing Sunday, February 4, 1996 - McCurtain Daily Gazette From Staff and Wire Reports Deepening mystery surrounds the link between a German national and the bombing last April of the Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City and one of its purported bombers, Timothy McVeigh, It is a link that raises a number of intriguing questions. Was he an "agent provocateur" working undercover for federal agencies in this country investigating extremist groups? Were those extremist groups somehow involved in the bombing? Was he himself a neo-Nazi radical? An intriguing vein of linkage suggests his role— whatever it was — simply cannot be ignored by federal investigators. And that it was, somehow, inextricably linked to the Oklahoma City bombing. If not, why did Timothy McVeigh make telephone calls to the German at Elohim City near Muldrow? And why, the day before the bombing, did McVeigh call a lawyer in North Carolina where the German was also known to stay? The German national's mysterious presence begs for answers — particularly in light of compelling evidence suggesting Timothy McVeigh did not act alone and was, in fact, aided by at least several other conspirators on the day of the bombing...including the mysterious "John Doe No. 2." But McVeigh's only indicted coconspirator is Terry Nichols, who was indisputably hot present on the day of the April 19, 1995 bombing, which killed 169 people and injured several hundred others. Calls from McVeigh? In the days just prior to the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Timothy McVeigh^ placed one — possibly even two — telephone calls to Elohim City, a religious community in eastern Oklahoma.

His researches seem to them a waste of time and energy. Interest in ancestors, love of family and kindred, those subtle questions of race, origin, even of life itself, which they involve, are quite beyond their com prehension. They live only in the present, care nothing for the past and little for the future; for " he who cares not whence he cometh, cares not whither he goeth." When such persons are approached with questions of ancestry, they retire to their stronghold of apathy; and the querist learns, without diffi culty, that whether their ancestors were vile or illustrious, virtuous or vicious, or whether, indeed, they ever had any, is to them a matter of supreme indifference.

    Different Dreams: An Examination of America' and Japan's National Characters An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Tori Alexandra Koenig Thesis Advisor: Dr. Anthony Edmonds Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 2008 Expected Date of Graduation: May 2009 1 Abstract When trying to distinguish what makes a member of one society different from an individual of another, the idea of national character often assumes a prominent role in the discussion. National character is the set of values that one culture treasures as the most important to the majority of individuals in that nation. This paper examines the American and Japanese national characters and looks at the fundamental dissimilarities between the two. In the United States, the definition of who is an American is based on whether or not the person appreciates the American Dream. As opposed the individualistic outlook that this ideal promotes, the Japanese share a sense of duty and view the group as the basis for society_ The contrast between these two views is clearly seen in the societies' reactions to national tragedies. To analyze this theory, I use the public's responses to the Oklahoma City bombing and the Tokyo subway sarin attacks as case studies. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Dr. Anthony Edmonds for all of his help throughout this project. Not only did he help me to create a better topic, but he also has guided me while I have worked on this paper. I want to thank Dr. Phyllis Zimmerman for her assistance with the Japanese character portions of my paper as well.
