I can remember watching and listening to the whole OKC bombing ordeal play out (yeah, I'm an old fart

). I remember listening to the description
of the bomb and how it was delivered and thinking to myself, "this guy is too much of an idiot to carry something like this out".
I also remember that someone from the Middle East, with known ties to terrorist organizations, was being sought because their luggage was re-routed by
accident through London. There, the authorities found "undisclosed records" and several detonators exactly like those used in OKC. I also remember
this story, which had obviously grabbed my attention, was quickly buried.
At the time, I felt that McVeigh was targeted as someone with questionable militia ties to blow up the Murrah Building. He was assisted by someone
from the Middle East, who gave him the necessary material, including detonators, to allow him to carry out the bombing. This someone, I believe, was
used as a makeshift Federal Agent in order to get the deed done, with the full knowledge
and assistance of the US government.
The purpose was the same as the result of the 9-11 bombing. Control. Control by the government of the people. While some progress was made, it was not
fully effective. So we had to wait until planes hit the WTC to get the full effect the government wanted.
I still believe that. And I wonder, if a government that has already blown up one of it's own buildings and at the least been passive in not
preventing the 9-11 tragedy will not stoop to punish those who conspire against them?
I also fear that even the 9-11 policy changes were not enough. I am expecting a major terrorist strike in the US before the present election cycle
completes. Now I have a location to watch.
I fear for Oklahoma.
