S.E. Wood One mystery solved? This is a long one, but stick with me! Whenever
the "official" explanation of an event of national
significance is questioned, those in power pass it off as being
the rantings of right-wing "conspiracy nuts." But perhaps
the "wackos" would have nothing to question if more
logical explanations were being provided to the general public.
It all started with the "magic bullet"
that apparently hit President Kennedy from two different directions,
then wounded Texas Gov. John Connally, then disappeared, then
finally dropped onto the floor of the operating room at Walter
Reed General Hospital in Washington, DC. The acceptance of the
"magic bullet" theory was essential to the conclusion
that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in shooting the President,
even if expert military marksmen have never yet been able to
fire Oswald's alleged murder weapon as quickly as were the shots
recorded on a tape of the tragic event, etc., etc., etc. Then there was Waco, with no admission that
military incendiaries were used in that massacre, even though
there was evidence to the contrary. And Commerce Secretary Ron
Brown, who died in a military plane crash but with an apparent
bullet hole in his head. The three military doctors who made
the initial medical examination and took pictures of the 45-caliber
hole in his skull, immediately disappeared from sight - along
with their photos. An autopsy (standard practice in every military
accident) was never performed, even though the deceased was a
member of the president's cabinet! And poor old Vince Foster, White House aide
and Clinton confidante. Dead of a bullet wound. Some said to
the head, others to the neck. Supposedly from a pistol found
with the victim's right thumb sticking through the trigger guard,
even though he was left-handed (or vice versa, I forget which).
Again, no autopsy, and again, the photos of the wound, wherever
it was, mysteriously disappeared. There was TWA Flight 800, which fell into
Long Island Sound, killing all on board. Even though there were
over 100 eyewitnesses who testified under oath that they saw
a object rise from the surface and hit the plane, the cause was
determined to be an explosion in a partially filled fuel tank. And now we are to believe "wake-turbulence"
caused the tail of American Airlines Flight 587 to fall off,
subsequently followed by first one engine, and then the other,
even though the recovered data recorders showed no such turbulence,
and both engines operating properly, until they fell off. That
assumption has been so severely questioned that now the experts
are saying that perhaps the turbulence itself would not have
caused the problem, but if the tail and engines were about ready
to fall off anyway, then the turbulence could have hastened their
departure. Will we ever know the truth? I doubt it, because
wake-turbulence is a perfect answer. No one will be held responsible.
Not the airline. Not the crew. Not the plane's manufacturer.
Not the air-traffic controllers. Not terrorists. Nobody. Cause
only God creates wake turbulence. So why bring all this up now? Because there
is one mysterious event whose rationale may have finally been
explained by a recent discovery in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan.
The Oklahoma City bombing! You know the story. Timothy McVeigh, working
alone at the time but with prior help from Terry Nichols, ignited
a rented truck full of fertilizer (ammonium nitrate) and diesel
fuel in front of the Murrah Federal Building, causing total destruction
of this reinforced concrete structure. He was subsequently convicted
and quickly executed for this heinous crime. But there have always been doubts. Books have
been written on how experts have questioned how a fertilizer
bomb could have done the damage attributed to it by the FBI,
since the exploding truck failed to demolish a concrete wall
between it and the building, or knock down a nearby lamp post.
The inspector general of the Justice Department stated in his
report to the FBI crime laboratory that their analysis "merits
special censure" because their conclusions about the fertilizer
bomb were "incomplete," "inappropriate,"
"flawed" and "non-scientific"! A more likely
explanation seems to be that the fertilizer bomb was detonated
simultaneously with other explosives located within the building.
Remember John Doe No. 2? That was the name
given an anonymous second person seen by many witnesses to have
been with McVeigh on the day of the explosion. A man who appeared
to be of Middle Eastern heritage. Postal worker Debbie Nakanashi,
who worked across the street from the Murrah Building, stated
on "Good Morning America" as having seen a dark, heavy-set
man with Timothy McVeigh, who "helped blow up the Murrah
Building, and nobody's looking for him." Investigative reporter Janya Davis of radio
station KFOR in Oklahoma City testified last March on Fox News
that she had gathered information showing that Osama bin Laden
funded the bombing conspiracy, that Nichols had terrorist ties
in the Philippines, and an Iraqi Republican Guard member accompanied
McVeigh and Nichols on the day of the bombing. "We have
24 sworn witness affidavits that tie seven to eight Arab men
to various stages of the bombing plot, from the beginning all
the way to the day in which the plot was executed," said
the former NBC reporter. The FBI refused to consider her evidence.
A couple of weeks ago, it was reported that abandoned offices of the Taliban and Afghanistan Ministry of Defense in Kabul had been entered, and evidence was found to indicate they were developing chemical, biological and even nuclear weapons capabilities. But buried deeply in a back section of the Nov. 18 edition of The New York Times was an article by David Rhode and James Glanz revealing that "chemical formulas written by an unnamed Afghan and another man, a Bosnian ... give detailed descriptions of how to make nitroglycerin, dynamite and fertilizer bombs." Then, there was the notation, written in Bosnian, "Explosivija za Oklahomu." Or translated,
"Explosives used in Oklahoma!" · · · |
