Gus > Blowing up a Federal Reserve building or any federal facility in a major city (NYC, DC, LA,...) proved too big a challenge for McVeigh and his accomplices because they didn't enjoy covert support from FBI or any other official outfit. Hence their picking a softer target, namely OKC. So why did they do it, who planted the explosives that didn't go off, and why didn't the FBI stop them doing it? And one might also ask why none of the right-wing cronies believe it was done, or even could have been done, by a right-winger? If they were supposed to be so defiant of the NWO government, why weren't they proud to say that one of their men (McVeigh) did it? Were they just too chicken to admit it? Or was the idea too preposterous? Or maybe they knew something you don't know?

Gus > Nonsense... As I already told you, had it been a cointelpro provocation by some intelligence outfit, the target would have been a high-profile city/facility --not jerkwater Oklahoma's Murrah building! I'm not the violent type so I'll leave the choice of target to an expert in such matters, as you appear to be. As for me, if I were to live in the US I imagine this is much how I would find myself -- an outsider, frustrated to the n'th degree -- and without any desire to live inside the "belly of the lion". malcomlagauche.com >>After about a year of living in frustration, I began to meet people who did not fit into the establishment role: a dope-smoking carpenter who was obsessed with geodomes and the engineering behind such buildings; a tennis-playing hippie who had been working for 20 years on restoring a junk boat in his driveway and was still 20 years away from making it sailable; and an African-American photographer who spoke five languages, yet was always asked in a bar, "Wathca want, boy? Rum and Coke?" These acquaintances were not deep, but I observed that there were others in society who did not fit the norm. Today, without scientific data to back my theory, I conclude that about 4% of the U.S. public fits into the outside-the-lion category. After a few years, one becomes used to living like an underground guerilla in his own country. And, it becomes easier to identify those of similar lifestyles. The nuances are subtle, but read by those who are not mainstream. Today, I am accosted from many angles about religion or patriotism. In parking lots, people ask me, "Oh, where is your flag bumper sticker?" or "Where is your ‘I support the troops’ bumper sticker?" I tell the questioners that such a display runs contrary to my philosophies and beliefs. Some do not understand the words I use, while others give me a dirty look. More than once, I have said, "Go perform a self-gratifying sexual act that defies the laws of physics." This gets them scratching their heads in bewilderment as I drive away These are trying times for U.S. atheists, leftists, and nonconformists. But there are enough of them for people like me to gain meaningful relationships.<<
