-Caveat Lector-
Hello All,
Devvy Kidd's David Crockett article is a fascinating story and a great lesson
in how even the most scrupulously honest person can be blindsided. Which
nicely segways into a posting I made to Freerepublic about four months ago.
It addressed a question that had rankled me for some time.
Why is there virtually no information about the Oklahoma City bombing on Joe
Farah's and Chris Ruddy's websites? As I state at the end, there are no
"sacred cows" in my pursuit of the truth in any matter. Comments anybody?
Gavin Phillips.
J.Farah (WND) Remains Mute/OKC Bombing
For anybody who has spent a few hours researching the Oklahoma City bombing
knows that the governemnt/mainstream media story is 98% baloney.
Officially, two men (only McVeigh on the day of the bombing) and a home-brew
ANFO truck bomb. (and "others" unknown)
This production by the Clinton regime is one of the biggest disinformation
coups ever perpetrated on the American people. I have researched this
incident in great detail. The Oklahoma City bombing is the most
Machiavellian orchestrated government incident in several decades, in my
opinion at least as mendacious as Waco.
I like Worldnetdaily and Joe Farah. He does a very good job, sometimes an
outstanding job, in exposing the head to toenail corruption in the
Clinton/Hillary/Reno dictatorship. One thing has stuck in my craw though, why
is there nothing on Worldnetdaily about the massive government duplicity in
the Oklahoma bombing? I ignored it. It must be an oversight, right? Or maybe
I just wanted to believe that.
When I heard about Hugh Turley's banning on Freerepublic for posting his
opinion about Chris Ruddy, Joe Farah and Matt Drudge , I decided to ask
some questions. I e-mailed Joe Farah and asked him why he has ignored the
bombing. Our brief correspondence is below.
Hello Joe,
A search of your website returned no in depth articles regarding the
governments lies and duplicity regarding the Oklahoma City bombing. You
tentatively place half a toe in with your article 'We knew this was going to
happen' 2 reserve deputies testify about Oklahoma City bombing" which is
unsigned. There is far more
evidence of government prior knowledge than this.
" The New American" http://thenewamerican.com/focus/okc/index.htm
magazine has followed this case from the beginning and has pointed out in
several articles the many large credibility gaps in the government/mainstream
media version of events which is supposedly two men, one on the day of the
bombing and a "home-brew" fertilizer truck bomb.
There have been several good books published documenting the lies and
cover-up in this incident, such as David Hoffman's' "The Oklahoma City
Bombing and the Politics of Terror," Michele Marie Moore's "Oklahoma
City:Day One," Jim Keith's
"Okbomb! : Conspiracy and Cover-Up " Ambrose Evans-Pritchard's "The Secret
Life of Bill Clinton" in which he dedicates about a 100 pages to the bombing.
Yet nothing of substance on your site. Why? Curiously, Gavin Phillips.
Joe Farah replies;
We have a limited reporting staff, which NEVER regurgitates reporting by
others. To commit to investigating the Oklahoma City bombing cover-up
is a major commitment of time and resources. There are many important stories
we are not able to cover. You cite much good work that has been done on this
story. I agree. Would you have us plough the same ground? Or should we focus
our efforts on reporting no one else is doing? We have chosen the latter.

I reply;
Hello Joe,
My reply to your e-mail is below. Gavin.
<< We have a limited reporting staff, which NEVER regurgitates reporting by
others.
You are not saying that all of your stories are exclusives, are you Joe? In
many of your articles I have seen similar information on other news
websites, or via mailing lists that I am on. You can still give a different
viewpoint and new
facts on the same event. Where does regurgitating leave off Joe and citing
work by others begin?
Joe;
To commit to investigating the Oklahoma City bombing cover-up is a major
commitment of time and resources. There are many important stories we are not
able to cover.
Gavin;
Excuse me? The Oklahoma City bombing story is not important enough for you to
allocate resources to?
I am certain that you are aware of the facts about the bombing that have been
ignored by the mainstream media Joe, but here is a very short synopsis.
The Oklahoma City bombing is in at least the top three most horrendous
government cover-ups in the last 10 years or so. The government had prior
knowledge of the bombing from their informant Carol Howe. There were no BATF
agents in the building at the time of the bombing, (two clerical workers) one
agent told Bruce Shaw, who was looking for his wife, that "...they'd
been tipped by their pagers not to come to work that day."
The government said a 4,800 pound (decreased to 4,000 pounds at McVeigh's
trial) ANFO truck bomb was solely responsible for the damage to the Murrah
building. But several explosive and other experts have stated that an amateur
concocted fertilizer bomb detonated at a 15/20 foot standoff from the
building could never have inflicted anywhere near the degree of damage the
government says it did. Explosives inside caused most of the damage. Many
eyewitnesses said that they heard and/or felt two explosions about 7 seconds
apart.
Dr. Frederic Whitehurst, formerly in charge of the FBI Crime laboratory for
about 10 years, went public and said that certain agents working in the
laboratory had been manipulating forensic tests for years in favor of the
prosecution.
This is a very small sample of the information that remains unreported by
the fourth branch of government, the mainstream media. Researchers such as
Devvy Kidd (www.devvy.com) Hoppy Heidelberg, Charles Key, Pat Briley, Michele
Marie Moore, David Hoffman, Pat Shannan ("Media Bypass" magazine) and many
others have managed to expose much of the government lies and deception in
this incident on shoestring budgets.
You publish dozens of in depth articles about Waco, Kosovo, Vince Foster the
myriad of Clinton scandals, Elian , a whopping 357 hits for the Y2K nonevent
(I was also concerned about Y2K, but come on Joe, you massively over-hyped
that situation) and yet you deem the Oklahoma City bombing unworthy of some
time and resources in order to publish a few articles.
So your readers remain ignorant about the web of lies and deceit spun by the
government about this event.
Joe;
You cite much good work that has been done on this story. I agree. Would you
have us plough the same ground? Or should we focus our efforts on reporting
no one else is doing? We have chosen the latter.
Gavin;
You have ploughed some of the same ground on Waco and the dozens of
'Clintongates." How much time and money does it take Joe to telephone Hoppy
Heidelberg or Pat Briley? Or to send a reporter to Oklahoma to conduct
some interviews for a few days?
Am I to believe that you are incapable of 'ploughing' any new ground in the
Oklahoma City bombing case? How about a few links to websites that are
getting people as close to the truth as possible about the bombing such as
"The New American" magazine or Devvy Kidd's
website? As the saying goes Joe, the silence is deafening.
Apart from ignoring virtually all relevant facts about the Oklahoma bombing,
you do a very good job informing people about the appalling endemic
corruption in our government. But that is the problem. The fact that you do
such a thorough job of reporting all of the government's scandals in the last
few years but miss one of the biggest raises a serious question mark. Thank
you. Gavin Phillips.
I e-mailed my reply to him twice and he has chosen not to reply. As far as I
am concerned there is no excuse for Joe Farah's continued silence about the
Oklahoma City bombing.
Joe Farah's good friend Chris Ruddy and Newsmax.com also have a news blackout
regarding reporting anything of worth about the bombing. In fact, Ruddy's
site is even worse. The only reference I found when searching the site was an
excerpt from the County Grand Juries final report which has been completely
<A HREF="http://www.newsmax.com/articles/?a=1998/12/31/54513">Click
here</A>
discredited by several longtime researchers of the case. The County Grand
Jury basically agreed with the government, a total whitewash.
I do not know why, but the Oklahoma bombing is a taboo subject for Joe Farah
and Chris Ruddy. They purposely avoid reporting the enormous amount of prima
facie evidence that exists proving that the official version of events about
the bombing are completely erroneous.
As far as I'm concerned, there are no "sacred cows" in my pursuit of the
truth in this incident or any other. I try to remain as objective as possible
and onstantly reevaluate information and obtain other peoples opinions so
that I can remain honest.
In the Oklahoma bombing 169 people were blown to pieces, 19 of which were
kids. Over 500 more were injured. Thousands of other peoples lives were
devastated. The government/mainstream media has lied through their teeth
about this incident. It is just as atrocious a cover-up as Waco and yet two
of the Internet's most celebrated journalists say nothing about it.
What would you think if they remained silent about Waco? Thanks. Gavin
Phillips.
