I guess I didnt hit ignore soon enough

Its interesting the lengths gone into to justify the uncanny prediction of the OK bombing and mr. "McVey"

The promo reads:

"THE FINAL JIHAD brings to readers, for the first time, actual intelligence gathered by espionage operatives worldwide. It has been fashioned into a blockbuster novel by Martin Keating, who employs "Predictive analysis" of classified information--the same technique used by government security agencies to anticipate terrorist assaults. The plans, strategies, and assassination techniques of the terror masters in this book are real. Their chemical and biological tools of destruction are real. And their ever-increasing threat to our survival is real.

"Vicious attacks of terrorism are unleashed across the country---all at the hands of the 'Best of the Worst'. As America hurtles headlong toward anarchy, the action catapults the opposing forces to a spectacular denouement in the nation's capital. The race against the clock is exhilarating, terrifying, and astonishingly real.

"THE FINAL JIHAD is a prophetic blueprint, a warning of horrifying upcoming acts of terrorism targeted against the United States. It's a wake-up call no one should ignore."

That's fiction being stranger than reality. In this book, remember it's written in 1991, Martin Keating also "predicts" the downing of a TWA aircraft just as it is taking off for Paris coming out of JFK International Airport by a back pack carried Stinger missile, just like TWA Flight 800. And he predicted the World Trade Center bombing using a van filled with explosives parked in the underground lot. Pretty good guesswork.

Here's Keating's background in his own words

"Martin Keating is a master storyteller with unique access to government intelligence agencies and clandestine terrorist groups.

"His brother Frank Keating, currently governor of Oklahoma, is a former FBI agent and assistant secretary of the Treasury who supervised the Secret Service, U.S. Customs, and theBureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.

"Keating's uncle, Barney Martin was a career intelligence officer who headed the U.S. Navy's worldwide foreign intelligence collection operations and counterintelligence activities.

"Introduced to the intelligence community through generations of family involvement, Martin Keating knows intimate details of what the rest of us can only imagine. Armed with firsthand knowledge of explosives and of chemical and biological weapons, Keating accurately reveals what the highest government officials have known, feared, and covered up for much too long."

Martin Keating also bragged after the bombing that he had copies of the surveillance film from the Southwest Bell building across the street from the Alfred P. Murrah building, the side the explosion occurred on. The film from the Regency Towers of the far side of the building, survived completely intact. The government claims the Southwest Bell film didn't.

It would be safe to say that someone is lying. Of course, there are no investigations. Whoever is in control of whether those investigations go forward is suspect.
