What Do You Know About the Oklahoma City Bomber?

On April 19th, 1995, Timothy McVeigh detonated 5000 pounds of explosives in front of the Murrah building killing 168 people. He was captured wearing a t-shirt celebrating John Wilkes Booth and he had a copy of The Turner Diaries beside him. McVeigh was a neo-Nazi racist and a follower of William Pierce. He was executed exactly three months before 9/11 for his part in the Oklahoma City bombing. Along with Terry Nichols, it is speculated that McVeigh had help from other Nazis, racists, and Islamic extremists.

McVeigh appears to be connected to Elohim City, a notorious Christian Identity settlement along the Arkansas/Oklahoma border. The ties to Elohim and the Oklahoma City bombing are numerous; McVeigh made a phone call there just before the bombing, the bombing was the same day that Elohim resident Richard Snell was executed for carrying out Turner Diary-type murders, and McVeigh had a relationship with Andreas Strassmeir, a neo-Nazi from a prominent family in Germany who lived at Elohim.

Strassmeir drilled hate groups who visited Elohim in military tactics, including the Aryan Republican Army and the Silent Brotherhood. He was quietly allowed to leave the country soon after the bombing and was only questioned over the phone nine months laster. The BBC reports that, "Strassmeir met Tim McVeigh at a gun show in 1993, Tim McVeigh had tried to call him on 5 April 1995 and the undercover informant Carol Howe said Strassmeir had plans to 'destroy the US government' with direct actions and operations 'such as assassinations, bombings, and mass shootings'." ATF agent Carol Howe, who could have provided evidence of Strassmeir's and Elohim City's involvement with the Oklahoma City bombing, were not allowed to testify in McVeigh's trial. Judge Richard Matsch ruled that her testimony was not relevant.

Besides Andreas Strassmeir and the Elohim City neo-Nazis community, there are reasons to believe that the Muslim Brotherhood might have been involved in the bombing. If that's the case, it would be highly significant as it would link the American Nazi movement with Islamic extremists six years before 9/11. Top terrorist officials, including Richard Clarke, believe that there is a high probability that Terry Nichols met with Ramzi Yousef and the Muslim Brotherhood in the Philippines at Cebu City. It is speculated that Nichols, who was an incompetent bomb maker before his numerous trips, learned how to make the Oklahoma City truck bomb there. Additionally, there are many who believe that Jose Padilla was an accomplice to McVeigh as he matches the sketch of John Doe #2. Padilla is the U.S. citizen and accused terrorist that the Bush administration has labeled an “enemy combatant". Padilla is held under secret confinement so little is known about his possible involvement.

Most people are surprised to learn that Timothy McVeigh is a neo-Nazi. The media portrayed him as part of the militia movement, a religious fanatic, a right wing zealot, a drug user, a loser, as part of the survivalist movement that was sweeping the nation. Throw everything against the wall and hope it sticks. How about calling him what he was, an American Nazi.
