there was zero government involvement in the OKC fed building bombing, the closet thing to such would be the governments initial downplay of yousef and or KSM being involved. I believe they still don't acknowledge much of KSM being involved, however one would be niave to believe that the savage didnt have a hand in the target selection and or training of Nichols. Homegrown terrorists are REAL, whether or not they are islamically motivated or not. All nation states from the dawn of modern civilization have faced such a threat. And for the forseeable future it will remain a threat to social peace and well being.

Well there are documented meetings between Ramzi Yousef and Terry Nichols in the Phillipines. I believe there is a connection between TWA 800, OKC, and the first WTC bombing.
Personally, I believe the government either had a hand in it or at least knowledge of it and allowed it to occur in order to quell the rapidly gaining support for the militia movement.
Back in the 1990's there was a great magazine titled The American Survival Guide, which to the best of my knowledge is no longer in print. In that mag, there were extensive articles about numerous oddities about the OKC bombings such as "Top Secret" files being removed from the Murrah building in the days prior to the event, as well as some sensitive keyhole satellites being focused on the building the day of the blast .
I posted this thread in hopes someone could shed some light on those oddities if indeed they are true.

Do you have any links to these documented meetings by chance? I'm interested in having a read about them.
The video interrogation linking Nichols to Yousef, bin Laden and Iraq initially was obtained by Stephen Jones, the defense attorney who represented convicted Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. But at the insistence of federal prosecutors, trial judge Richard P. Matsch refused to admit it into evidence.

I don't believe the US government had anything to do with it- after all, what would they gain?
However, I do have a sneaking suspicion that there were other people/organisations involved.

What would they be contracted to investigate that the Federal government themselves couldn't do?
