When Heroes Die for Asking Questions | Conspiracy History | Forbidden History
Episode Summary
Dive deep into the forgotten layers of the Oklahoma City bombing, exploring a systematic cover-up that reveals additional conspirators, government foreknowledge, and the suspicious deaths of key witnesses. In this episode, Tracy Brinkmann uncovers hidden history and exposes how domestic terrorism can serve as a tool for government expansion, rather than solely a threat to national security. From the mysterious John Doe #2 to the impossible "suicide" of police officer Terry Yeakey, this investigation highlights numerous conspiracy theories and forbidden history surrounding one of America's most controversial events.
Explore the historical patterns linking the Oklahoma City bombing to other federal incidents such as the 1993 WTC bombing, Ruby Ridge, and Waco, illustrating how cultural disruption and false flags facilitate increased government power. This episode challenges official narratives and provides cultural commentary on how modern systems manipulate public perception backdroped by evidence destruction and witness elimination.
Join us in questioning the accepted story, thinking skeptically about conspiracy history and alternative history, and understanding how these hidden truths shape our world today. When heroes die for asking questions, what truths are being buried?

Key Points
- Additional Conspirators: John Doe #2 seen with McVeigh, Andreas Strassmeir (German intelligence operative), Midwest Bank Robbers, international terror connections through Terry Nichols
- Government Foreknowledge: ATF agents told not to come to work, FBI informants inside white supremacist networks, advance warnings ignored
- Witness Elimination: Terry Yeakey "suicide" after investigating inconsistencies, Kenneth Trentadue beaten to death in custody, Richard Guthrie found dead after offering to talk
- Evidence Destruction: Building demolished rapidly, surveillance videos confiscated, congressional findings classified, witness reports disappeared
- Historical Patterns: 1993 WTC bombing, Ruby Ridge, Waco - all created extremist backlash used to justify expanded federal powers
- Systematic Coverup: Multiple federal agencies stonewalling investigations, evidence pointing to broader networks systematically buried
Critical Questions
- When police officers who saved lives end up dead for asking questions, what were they discovering?
- Why were additional suspects ignored despite substantial evidence?
- How does domestic terrorism serve government interests better than preventing it?
Notable Quote
"They turned domestic terrorism into a tool of government expansion and called it national security. They facilitated the very attacks they claim to be preventing, then used those attacks to justify powers they couldn't obtain through democratic processes."
Call to Action
Understand that the official story is rarely the whole story. When witnesses die under suspicious circumstances and evidence gets systematically buried, you're not witnessing terrorism - you're witnessing a government operation disguised as terrorism.

00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:01,590
Beneath the headlines.
2
00:00:01,980 --> 00:00:06,090
Behind the timelines, there is a
story no one wants you to find.
3
00:00:06,540 --> 00:00:12,960
Welcome to some unapproved thinking where
forgotten truths, buried patterns, and
4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,750
invisible systems rise to the surface.
5
00:00:16,110 --> 00:00:18,840
You weren't crazy, you were just early.
6
00:00:19,350 --> 00:00:20,070
Let's begin.
7
00:00:20,460 --> 00:00:22,980
April 19th, 1995.
8
00:00:23,670 --> 00:00:27,570
168 people died in Oklahoma City.
9
00:00:28,485 --> 00:00:34,305
Timothy McVey took the blame,
and with that it was case closed.
10
00:00:34,665 --> 00:00:38,775
But what if the most devastating domestic
terror attack in American history
11
00:00:38,895 --> 00:00:43,755
was just the tip of an iceberg that
investigators were ordered not to examine?
12
00:00:44,055 --> 00:00:48,075
I remember the first time I really
questioned something the government
13
00:00:48,075 --> 00:00:50,144
told me, with absolute certainty.
14
00:00:50,535 --> 00:00:53,535
It was not too many years
after Oklahoma City.
15
00:00:53,775 --> 00:00:58,095
When I started noticing how quickly
certain stories get wrapped up, how
16
00:00:58,095 --> 00:01:02,714
neatly the evidence gets packaged, how
anyone asking uncomfortable questions
17
00:01:02,714 --> 00:01:05,175
gets labeled as unpatriotic or crazy.
18
00:01:05,565 --> 00:01:08,535
That's when I started digging into what
really happened on that April morning.
19
00:01:08,925 --> 00:01:11,759
What I found wasn't a lone
wolf with a truck bomb.
20
00:01:12,345 --> 00:01:15,615
What I found was a pattern of
additional suspects who vanished from
21
00:01:15,615 --> 00:01:20,265
the investigation, witnesses who died
under mysterious circumstances and
22
00:01:20,265 --> 00:01:23,865
evidence that pointed to a conspiracy
so large it had to be buried to protect
23
00:01:23,865 --> 00:01:25,185
the people who allowed it to happen.
24
00:01:25,515 --> 00:01:29,835
Tonight we ask when a police officer
who saved lives at the bombing scene
25
00:01:29,835 --> 00:01:31,875
ends up dead for asking questions.
26
00:01:32,205 --> 00:01:35,055
Maybe the questions were more
dangerous than the answers
27
00:01:35,325 --> 00:01:36,555
or even the bombing itself.
28
00:01:38,025 --> 00:01:40,965
This is some unapproved thinking.

Now back to the show.
35
00:02:02,460 --> 00:02:06,300
We live in an age where domestic
terrorism narratives shape policy,
36
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,110
justify surveillance expansion, and
redefine the relationship between
37
00:02:10,110 --> 00:02:11,520
citizens and their government.
38
00:02:11,910 --> 00:02:17,040
Every attack quickly becomes yet another
opportunity to expand federal power
39
00:02:17,190 --> 00:02:19,110
while restricting individual liberty.
40
00:02:19,860 --> 00:02:23,940
I've spent years watching how these
crisises keep creating opportunity for
41
00:02:23,940 --> 00:02:29,490
those who understand that public fear
can be converted into political capital.
42
00:02:29,790 --> 00:02:32,220
The bigger the crisis, the
bigger the opportunity.
43
00:02:32,340 --> 00:02:36,360
And Oklahoma City was one of the
biggest domestic crisis of its time.
44
00:02:36,690 --> 00:02:42,660
But what if the official story of Oklahoma
City, the lone wolf narrative, the simple
45
00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:47,730
truck bomb, the swift justice was all
designed to hide a more complex truth.
46
00:02:48,795 --> 00:02:53,685
That would've exposed intelligence agency
involvement, government foreknowledge,
47
00:02:54,105 --> 00:02:58,635
and a systematic coverup that reached the
highest levels of federal law enforcement.
48
00:02:59,084 --> 00:02:59,655
Mm-hmm.
49
00:03:00,315 --> 00:03:05,535
The Post 9 1 1 World has made us all
too familiar with how domestic terror
50
00:03:05,535 --> 00:03:11,505
attacks can be used to justify expanded
surveillance, increased federal power, and
51
00:03:11,505 --> 00:03:13,665
new restrictions on our civil liberties.
52
00:03:14,055 --> 00:03:17,025
But I think Oklahoma
City was the template.
53
00:03:17,415 --> 00:03:22,395
The original sketch as it were, um,
for this was the first time domestic
54
00:03:22,395 --> 00:03:26,715
terrorism was used to fundamentally
reshape the relationship between the
55
00:03:26,715 --> 00:03:28,725
American government and its citizens.
56
00:03:29,115 --> 00:03:32,865
Understanding what really happened
in Oklahoma City isn't just
57
00:03:32,865 --> 00:03:34,030
about this one single attack.
58
00:03:34,785 --> 00:03:35,175
Nope.
59
00:03:35,415 --> 00:03:40,275
It's about recognizing how domestic
terror operations might be conducted,
60
00:03:40,485 --> 00:03:45,105
can be covered up and will be used to
advance political agendas that couldn't
61
00:03:45,105 --> 00:03:50,235
be achieved through the normal, dare
say, legal democratic processes when the
62
00:03:50,235 --> 00:03:53,925
people who were supposed to investigate
the attack had advanced knowledge of it.
63
00:03:54,405 --> 00:03:58,155
When witnesses who contradicted
the official story died under
64
00:03:58,155 --> 00:04:01,575
suspicious circumstances when
evidence pointing to additional
65
00:04:01,575 --> 00:04:03,855
conspirators was systematically buried.
66
00:04:04,215 --> 00:04:06,015
You're not looking at a terrorist attack.
67
00:04:06,435 --> 00:04:06,825
Nope.
68
00:04:07,155 --> 00:04:11,144
You my friends, are witness
to a government operation.
69
00:04:12,285 --> 00:04:12,734
Okay.
70
00:04:13,635 --> 00:04:17,355
Let's walk through the evidence that
the Oklahoma City bombing was not the
71
00:04:17,355 --> 00:04:22,755
work of some lone wolf, but rather a
complex operation involving multiple
72
00:04:22,755 --> 00:04:25,425
conspirators, government foreknowledge.
73
00:04:26,130 --> 00:04:29,010
A systematic coverup that
even continues to this day.
74
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,510
Let's start with the mysterious John
Doe number two, who represents about the
75
00:04:33,510 --> 00:04:35,490
most obvious hole in the official story?
76
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,630
You see, multiple witnesses at
Elliot's Body Shop describes seeing
77
00:04:39,630 --> 00:04:43,140
Timothy McVeigh with another man
when they rented the truck that
78
00:04:43,140 --> 00:04:44,580
would've eventually carry the bomb.
79
00:04:44,940 --> 00:04:48,180
The FBI created sketches,
launched a manhunt, and then.
80
00:04:48,945 --> 00:04:53,805
Quietly dropped the investigation without
explanation, but John Doe number two
81
00:04:53,805 --> 00:04:59,595
wasn't the only additional suspect there
was Andreas Strier, a German intelligence
82
00:04:59,595 --> 00:05:03,795
operative who lived at the Elohim City
white supremacist compound in Oklahoma.
83
00:05:04,065 --> 00:05:07,365
Phone records show that McVeigh
called Elohim City just two
84
00:05:07,365 --> 00:05:11,505
weeks before the bombing asking
specifically to speak with Strat Mir.
85
00:05:11,865 --> 00:05:16,305
Now let me pause here and ask you,
have you read the Congressional
86
00:05:16,305 --> 00:05:17,565
investigation documents?
87
00:05:18,270 --> 00:05:23,370
Yeah, yeah, I know they're
heavily redacted, but what
88
00:05:23,370 --> 00:05:25,320
remains is quite damning.
89
00:05:25,770 --> 00:05:30,300
STRs Mir had connections to
German intelligence services.
90
00:05:30,630 --> 00:05:34,890
He was in the United States on an
expired visa, but was never deported.
91
00:05:35,550 --> 00:05:39,390
And after the bombing, he fled
the country with what appears to
92
00:05:39,390 --> 00:05:41,430
have been official assistance.
93
00:05:41,805 --> 00:05:45,975
Then there is the Midwest Bank robbers,
a white supremacist gang that robbed
94
00:05:45,975 --> 00:05:48,315
at least 18 banks in the 1990s.
95
00:05:48,675 --> 00:05:53,235
They too had direct connections to both
McVey and the Elohim City compound.
96
00:05:53,445 --> 00:05:57,075
Two gang members had been roommates
with Strat Mir, the gang's leader.
97
00:05:57,075 --> 00:05:59,955
Richard Guthrie even told authorities
he had information about the
98
00:05:59,955 --> 00:06:03,735
Oklahoma City bombing and that
he was prepared to talk, but.
99
00:06:04,110 --> 00:06:07,920
Guthrie was found dead in his jail
cell the day after making this
100
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,200
offer officially ruled a suicide.
101
00:06:10,590 --> 00:06:14,280
But the timing was remarkably convenient
for people who didn't want him talking.
102
00:06:14,610 --> 00:06:19,080
Terry Nichols McVay's co-conspirator,
made multiple trips to the Philippines
103
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,550
in the months before the bombing.
104
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,930
He claimed he was looking for a wife,
but witnesses reported that he was
105
00:06:24,930 --> 00:06:28,110
asking about bomb making techniques
and meeting with people connected
106
00:06:28,110 --> 00:06:29,940
to international terrorist networks.
107
00:06:30,270 --> 00:06:35,040
Now, to me, the most disturbing evidence
involves government foreknowledge.
108
00:06:35,340 --> 00:06:39,900
Multiple federal agencies had
advanced warning that something was
109
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:42,090
planned for the Murra building A TF.
110
00:06:42,090 --> 00:06:44,760
Agents were told not to
come to work that day.
111
00:06:45,150 --> 00:06:48,450
The FBI even had informants
inside the white supremacist
112
00:06:48,450 --> 00:06:50,040
networks planning the attack.
113
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,210
Wait, what?
114
00:06:51,540 --> 00:06:54,930
Yeah, but instead of preventing the
bombing, they just let it happen.
115
00:06:55,140 --> 00:06:55,650
Why?
116
00:06:55,650 --> 00:06:56,490
You may ask.
117
00:06:56,849 --> 00:07:02,790
Well, basically because domestic
terrorism serves political purposes
118
00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:05,430
that preventing terrorism does not.
119
00:07:05,820 --> 00:07:09,390
The Oklahoma City bombing justified the
expansion of federal law enforcement
120
00:07:09,390 --> 00:07:13,050
powers increased surveillance
capabilities and new restrictions
121
00:07:13,050 --> 00:07:14,670
on militia groups and gun owners.
122
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,360
The coverup here was swift
and almost began immediately.
123
00:07:18,674 --> 00:07:22,515
Police officer Terry Yake was one of the
first responders at the bombing scene.
124
00:07:22,905 --> 00:07:25,724
He saved multiple lives, but
in the days and weeks that
125
00:07:25,724 --> 00:07:29,534
followed, he became convinced
that the official story was a lie.
126
00:07:29,835 --> 00:07:35,534
So like anyone else, he started
investigating on his own, collecting
127
00:07:35,534 --> 00:07:39,849
evidence, interviewing witnesses,
documenting inconsistencies.
128
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:44,430
Yankee told his family that federal
officials were lying about what happened.
129
00:07:44,820 --> 00:07:46,710
He said he had evidence
that would expose the truth.
130
00:07:46,710 --> 00:07:50,219
He was even scheduled to receive a medal
for his heroic actions on the day of the
131
00:07:50,219 --> 00:07:53,610
bombing, but instead of receiving a medal
for all his good deeds, he was found
132
00:07:53,610 --> 00:07:56,190
dead in a field allegedly by suicide.
133
00:07:56,580 --> 00:07:59,820
However, the circumstances
were quite impossible.
134
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,330
He had been shot, slashed,
o and beaten as well.
135
00:08:04,185 --> 00:08:07,664
There was evidence he had been
restrained and his body was found
136
00:08:07,664 --> 00:08:11,685
about a half mile from his car, which
contained large amounts of blood.
137
00:08:12,015 --> 00:08:15,044
So, um, does that sound
like a suicide to you?
138
00:08:15,794 --> 00:08:17,145
Yeah, me neither.
139
00:08:17,505 --> 00:08:20,685
So again, the official story was that
Yankee had cut his own throat and wrists,
140
00:08:20,955 --> 00:08:24,255
then walked half a mile through a field
before shooting himself in the head.
141
00:08:24,435 --> 00:08:26,145
I guess that means he beat himself up too.
142
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,700
Look, anyone who's seen the
crime scene photos knows this is
143
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:31,980
physically impossible, but hold on.
144
00:08:32,309 --> 00:08:35,820
Yankee wasn't the only witness who
died under suspicious circumstances.
145
00:08:36,179 --> 00:08:39,659
Kenneth Renado was beaten to death
in federal custody while being
146
00:08:39,659 --> 00:08:40,825
questioned about the bombing.
147
00:08:41,819 --> 00:08:46,589
His death too was ruled to suicide,
but the autopsy photos show he
148
00:08:46,589 --> 00:08:48,540
was tortured before being killed.
149
00:08:48,839 --> 00:08:52,709
The pattern also extends into
how evidence was handled.
150
00:08:53,069 --> 00:08:56,880
The building itself was demolished
with unusual speed, thus destroying
151
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,530
potential forensic evidence.
152
00:08:58,829 --> 00:09:01,380
Surveillance videos from nearby buildings
that might have shown additional
153
00:09:01,380 --> 00:09:05,459
suspects were found, confiscated,
and never released, and any witness
154
00:09:05,459 --> 00:09:08,819
testimony that contradicted the official
story was ignored or suppressed.
155
00:09:09,195 --> 00:09:13,425
Congressional investigations found
evidence of a systematic coverup involving
156
00:09:13,425 --> 00:09:17,985
multiple federal agencies, but the
most damaging findings were classified
157
00:09:17,985 --> 00:09:20,145
and remain hidden from public view.
158
00:09:20,475 --> 00:09:26,865
So basically what we do know is
bad enough leaving what we don't
159
00:09:26,865 --> 00:09:29,745
know to be probably far worse.
160
00:09:30,465 --> 00:09:33,855
The Oklahoma City bombing
wasn't a terrorist attack that
161
00:09:33,855 --> 00:09:35,745
was investigated and solved.
162
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,089
It was a government operation
that was covered up and blamed on
163
00:09:39,089 --> 00:09:42,750
convenient patsies who couldn't
expose the truth because they were
164
00:09:42,750 --> 00:09:44,939
either dead or facing execution.
165
00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:48,990
Now, as many of you know, this pattern
of government involvement in domestic
166
00:09:48,990 --> 00:09:53,280
terrorism followed by systematic
coverups isn't unique to Oklahoma City.
167
00:09:53,610 --> 00:09:57,089
Throughout American history, federal
agencies have used similar tactics
168
00:09:57,089 --> 00:10:00,420
to justify expanded powers and
eliminate political opposition.
169
00:10:00,735 --> 00:10:05,115
The 1993 World Trade Center bombing
provides about the most direct
170
00:10:05,115 --> 00:10:10,605
parallel to Oklahoma City FBI Informant
Emad Salem was working inside the
171
00:10:10,605 --> 00:10:12,165
terrorist cell planning the attack.
172
00:10:12,345 --> 00:10:15,795
He offered to substitute harmless
powder for the real explosives,
173
00:10:16,065 --> 00:10:19,095
but his FBI handlers told him
to let the bombing proceed.
174
00:10:19,395 --> 00:10:22,995
They wanted the attack to happen
because it served their purposes.
175
00:10:23,415 --> 00:10:27,464
Those that have read Salem's recorded
conversations with his FBI handlers
176
00:10:27,464 --> 00:10:29,265
know that their bone chilling.
177
00:10:29,625 --> 00:10:33,944
The FBI had advanced knowledge of the
World Trade Center bombing and chose to
178
00:10:33,944 --> 00:10:36,495
let it happen rather than prevent it.
179
00:10:36,915 --> 00:10:39,614
The same pattern appears in Oklahoma City.
180
00:10:39,974 --> 00:10:44,775
The co Intel Pro operations of the
1960s and 1970s demonstrate how federal
181
00:10:44,775 --> 00:10:49,875
agencies infiltrate, manipulate,
and sometimes direct the very groups
182
00:10:49,875 --> 00:10:51,405
they claim to be investigating.
183
00:10:51,734 --> 00:10:55,094
The FBI didn't just monitor
radical organizations.
184
00:10:55,334 --> 00:10:56,444
They created them.
185
00:10:56,625 --> 00:11:00,165
They funded them, and they
even directed their activities.
186
00:11:00,555 --> 00:11:05,385
Operation Gladio in Europe used similar
tactics with intelligence agencies
187
00:11:05,385 --> 00:11:10,244
creating and directing terrorist groups
to justify expanded government powers
188
00:11:10,275 --> 00:11:12,375
and eliminate political opposition.
189
00:11:12,614 --> 00:11:15,614
The same techniques were imported
to the United States and used
190
00:11:15,614 --> 00:11:16,785
against domestic targets.
191
00:11:17,460 --> 00:11:22,260
The Ruby Ridge incident in 1992 shows
how federal agencies create the very
192
00:11:22,260 --> 00:11:23,760
extremism they claim to be fighting.
193
00:11:24,464 --> 00:11:28,995
Randy Weaver was entrapped by federal
agents who pressured him to sell illegal
194
00:11:28,995 --> 00:11:34,125
weapons, then used his refusal to
cooperate as justification for a siege
195
00:11:34,125 --> 00:11:36,045
that ultimately killed his wife and son.
196
00:11:36,344 --> 00:11:38,474
How about the Waco Siege?
197
00:11:38,594 --> 00:11:42,615
In 1993, it followed the same pattern.
198
00:11:42,855 --> 00:11:46,755
The Branch Davidians were not a threat
to anyone until federal agents created
199
00:11:46,755 --> 00:11:51,525
a confrontation that resulted in the
deaths of 76 people, including children.
200
00:11:52,229 --> 00:11:56,010
Both Ruby Ridge and Waco were
cited by McVey as motivations
201
00:11:56,010 --> 00:11:57,510
for the Oklahoma City bombing.
202
00:11:57,839 --> 00:11:59,670
But what if that wasn't coincidence?
203
00:11:59,939 --> 00:12:04,650
What if Ruby Ridge and Waco were designed
to create the very extremist backlash that
204
00:12:04,650 --> 00:12:06,540
would justify the Oklahoma City operation?
205
00:12:07,370 --> 00:12:08,780
The timeline is too convenient.
206
00:12:08,990 --> 00:12:11,839
The connection's too obvious, the
outcome's too beneficial to federal
207
00:12:11,839 --> 00:12:13,939
agencies for this to be merely accidental.
208
00:12:14,209 --> 00:12:17,839
The pattern reveals itself in how
domestic terrorism serves government
209
00:12:17,839 --> 00:12:20,030
interests better than foreign terrorism.
210
00:12:20,329 --> 00:12:24,680
Foreign attacks justify military
spending and oversees operations.
211
00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:29,000
Domestic attacks justify surveillance,
expansion, and restrictions
212
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:29,954
on constitutional rights.
213
00:12:30,645 --> 00:12:33,885
So as you can see, historical precedent
shows that federal agencies are
214
00:12:33,885 --> 00:12:37,995
perfectly capable of conducting false
flag operations when the political
215
00:12:37,995 --> 00:12:39,045
benefits outweigh the moral costs.
216
00:12:40,545 --> 00:12:44,175
The Oklahoma City bombing had all the
characteristics of such an operation,
217
00:12:44,655 --> 00:12:48,285
government, foreknowledge intelligence
agency connections, convenient
218
00:12:48,285 --> 00:12:50,265
patsies, and systematic coverup.
219
00:12:50,564 --> 00:12:54,675
Understanding this history helps
explain why questioning the Oklahoma
220
00:12:54,675 --> 00:12:58,844
City narrative triggers such
defensive responses from government
221
00:12:58,844 --> 00:13:00,885
officials and the mainstream media.
222
00:13:01,305 --> 00:13:02,834
It's not because the evidence is strong.
223
00:13:02,984 --> 00:13:06,584
It's because the truth would expose
a pattern of government sponsored
224
00:13:06,584 --> 00:13:08,775
terrorism that continues to this day.
225
00:13:09,420 --> 00:13:09,660
Hmm.
226
00:13:10,260 --> 00:13:14,280
Let me examine the recurring mechanisms
of government-sponsored domestic
227
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,780
terrorism, and let's see how they are
applied to the Oklahoma City bombing.
228
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,200
The pattern always begins with
intelligence agencies infiltrating
229
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:27,300
extremist groups not to prevent or even
dismantle terrorism, but instead to direct
230
00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:29,490
it toward more politically useful targets.
231
00:13:29,820 --> 00:13:33,660
The FBI had informants inside
the white supremacist networks
232
00:13:33,660 --> 00:13:35,460
connected to McVeigh and Nichols.
233
00:13:35,805 --> 00:13:40,275
Instead of preventing the bombing, they
guided it toward maximum political impact.
234
00:13:40,575 --> 00:13:44,445
We have all seen this pattern in
settings where problems are allowed
235
00:13:44,445 --> 00:13:47,925
to develop because solving them
would eliminate opportunities for
236
00:13:47,925 --> 00:13:50,205
expansion and increased budgets.
237
00:13:50,475 --> 00:13:52,755
Government agencies operate the same way.
238
00:13:52,965 --> 00:13:55,814
They need threats to justify
their existence and growth.
239
00:13:56,444 --> 00:13:57,704
Then convenient.
240
00:13:57,704 --> 00:14:01,574
Patsy get selected and groomed to
take responsibility for operations.
241
00:14:01,755 --> 00:14:03,435
They didn't fully plan or control.
242
00:14:03,735 --> 00:14:05,175
McVeigh and Nichols were perfect.
243
00:14:05,175 --> 00:14:08,805
Patsy genuine extremists with real
grievances who could be credibly
244
00:14:08,805 --> 00:14:12,225
blamed for the attack while the
real planners remained hidden.
245
00:14:12,810 --> 00:14:15,780
The timing of domestic terror
attacks consistently serves
246
00:14:15,870 --> 00:14:18,120
specific political objectives.
247
00:14:18,390 --> 00:14:22,469
Oklahoma City happened just as Congress
was considering legislation to restrict
248
00:14:22,469 --> 00:14:24,150
federal law enforcement powers.
249
00:14:24,479 --> 00:14:27,660
The bombing provided justification
for expanding those powers instead.
250
00:14:28,230 --> 00:14:32,040
Multiple suspects get systematically
eliminated from investigations to maintain
251
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,010
the lone wolf narrative like John Doe.
252
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:39,090
Number two, Andrea Strier, the Midwest
Bank, robbers and International
253
00:14:39,090 --> 00:14:42,120
Connections all disappeared from
the official investigation despite
254
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,010
substantial evidence of their involvement.
255
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,880
Witnesses who contradict the
official story, face intimidation,
256
00:14:48,150 --> 00:14:49,709
discrediting, or elimination.
257
00:14:50,069 --> 00:14:50,819
Terry Yankee.
258
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,079
Kenneth Trent to do.
259
00:14:52,485 --> 00:14:55,545
Others who had evidence of government
involvement died under suspicious
260
00:14:55,545 --> 00:14:57,855
circumstances that were ruled suicides.
261
00:14:57,855 --> 00:15:02,714
Despite obvious evidence of murder,
evidence that would expose government
262
00:15:02,714 --> 00:15:08,055
involvement gets destroyed, classified,
or even suppressed, the Murra building
263
00:15:08,055 --> 00:15:09,975
was demolished unusually quickly.
264
00:15:09,975 --> 00:15:12,765
Surveillance videos were
confiscated and never released.
265
00:15:12,824 --> 00:15:16,185
And congressional investigation
findings were classified to
266
00:15:16,185 --> 00:15:17,625
prevent public disclosure.
267
00:15:18,255 --> 00:15:22,395
The most insidious aspect is how
domestic terrorism gets used to
268
00:15:22,395 --> 00:15:26,744
justify the very policies that
the terrorists supposedly opposed.
269
00:15:27,165 --> 00:15:31,064
McVeigh claimed to be fighting government
tyranny, but his attack was used to expand
270
00:15:31,064 --> 00:15:34,905
government power and restrict the rights
of the people he claimed to represent.
271
00:15:35,265 --> 00:15:39,104
Mainstream media coverage focuses on
the official narrative while ignoring
272
00:15:39,104 --> 00:15:40,724
evidence of any government involvement.
273
00:15:41,265 --> 00:15:44,204
The same outlets that investigate
government corruption in other contexts
274
00:15:44,204 --> 00:15:46,454
become stenographers for official stories.
275
00:15:46,454 --> 00:15:50,864
When domestic terrorism is involved, the
pattern even extends to how questioning
276
00:15:50,864 --> 00:15:55,964
domestic terrorism narratives gets
treated as evidence of extremism itself.
277
00:15:56,354 --> 00:15:59,385
People who ask legitimate questions
about government involvement get
278
00:15:59,385 --> 00:16:04,410
labeled as tinfoil hat, wearing
conspiracy theorists, unpatriotic, or
279
00:16:04,454 --> 00:16:06,314
even potential terrorists themselves.
280
00:16:06,690 --> 00:16:12,210
The most concerning pattern is how
domestic terrorism creates precedence for
281
00:16:12,210 --> 00:16:17,400
expanded government power that get applied
far beyond their original justification.
282
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,090
The surveillance and law enforcement
powers justified by Oklahoma City
283
00:16:21,090 --> 00:16:24,930
were later expanded after nine
11 and are still growing today.
284
00:16:25,290 --> 00:16:28,230
The patterns reveals that domestic
terrorism serves government
285
00:16:28,230 --> 00:16:32,400
interest so well that preventing
it would actually harm the agencies
286
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,600
responsible for stopping it.
287
00:16:34,260 --> 00:16:37,890
This creates perverse incentives
where success is measured by
288
00:16:37,890 --> 00:16:41,729
the expansion of power rather
than the prevention of attacks.
289
00:16:42,599 --> 00:16:48,150
But not everyone accepted the
official Oklahoma City narrative or
290
00:16:48,150 --> 00:16:53,189
participated in the coverup throughout
the investigation and its aftermath.
291
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,660
Individuals chose truth over
career advancement and integrity
292
00:16:57,810 --> 00:16:59,035
over institutional loyalty.
293
00:16:59,699 --> 00:17:03,180
Some FBI agents and federal
investigators privately expressed
294
00:17:03,180 --> 00:17:06,930
doubts about the official story and
the systematic suppression of evidence
295
00:17:06,930 --> 00:17:08,639
pointing to additional conspirators.
296
00:17:08,970 --> 00:17:12,839
While few spoke publicly due to
career consequences, their private
297
00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:16,859
accounts suggest widespread knowledge
within federal agencies that the
298
00:17:16,859 --> 00:17:18,900
official story was incomplete.
299
00:17:19,454 --> 00:17:22,379
Congressional investigators documented
evidence of government foreknowledge
300
00:17:22,379 --> 00:17:26,339
and coverup despite enormous pressure
to accept the official narrative.
301
00:17:26,730 --> 00:17:30,930
Their work, though heavily redacted
and partially classified, provides
302
00:17:30,930 --> 00:17:34,140
official confirmation that the
Oklahoma City investigation was
303
00:17:34,140 --> 00:17:35,940
compromised from the beginning.
304
00:17:36,270 --> 00:17:39,510
Some have met people who worked on
the congressional investigation.
305
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:45,930
While they can't or won't speak publicly
about what they found, but their
306
00:17:45,930 --> 00:17:49,320
private accounts make it clear that the
truth about Oklahoma City is far more
307
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,210
disturbing than the official story.
308
00:17:51,585 --> 00:17:54,525
Independent journalists investigated
the connections between government
309
00:17:54,525 --> 00:17:57,045
agencies and the bombing,
despite facing professional
310
00:17:57,045 --> 00:17:58,785
retaliation and legal threats.
311
00:17:59,085 --> 00:18:02,595
Their work preserved evidence and
testimony that official investigations
312
00:18:02,835 --> 00:18:06,735
ignored or suppressed family members
of victims refused to accept the
313
00:18:06,735 --> 00:18:09,885
official story when evidence suggested
government involvement in their loved
314
00:18:09,885 --> 00:18:13,845
ones deaths, despite facing character
assassination and legal pressure.
315
00:18:13,995 --> 00:18:18,705
Some continued demanding answers that
official investigations refuse to provide.
316
00:18:19,290 --> 00:18:22,950
Witnesses who saw evidence of additional
suspects maintain their accounts
317
00:18:22,950 --> 00:18:25,380
despite intimidation and threats.
318
00:18:25,980 --> 00:18:30,480
Their consistency over decades suggests
that their testimony was accurate
319
00:18:30,540 --> 00:18:34,350
and that the official investigation
deliberately ignored credible evidence.
320
00:18:35,060 --> 00:18:39,080
Some members of Congress continued
asking questions about Oklahoma
321
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,920
City, despite political pressure
to accept the official narrative.
322
00:18:43,220 --> 00:18:46,760
Their persistence kept some
aspects of the investigation
323
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,810
alive, even when other officials
wanted the case closed permanently.
324
00:18:51,140 --> 00:18:54,980
Some alternative media platforms
provided a space for information and
325
00:18:54,980 --> 00:18:57,755
analysis that mainstream outlets avoided.
326
00:18:58,335 --> 00:19:02,475
They preserve testimony, evidence,
and analysis that would've been
327
00:19:02,475 --> 00:19:05,955
lost if it were only official
channels covering the story.
328
00:19:06,285 --> 00:19:10,665
But as always, the most important
resistance came from ordinary Americans
329
00:19:10,875 --> 00:19:15,945
like you and me who refuse to accept that
their government would allow or facilitate
330
00:19:15,945 --> 00:19:18,105
domestic terrorism for political gain.
331
00:19:18,435 --> 00:19:22,485
Our skepticism and continued questioning
helped to preserve the possibility
332
00:19:22,605 --> 00:19:24,070
that the truth might eventually emerge.
333
00:19:24,945 --> 00:19:27,945
All these outliers demonstrate
that the Oklahoma City coverup
334
00:19:28,125 --> 00:19:30,075
wasn't inevitable or complete.
335
00:19:30,435 --> 00:19:34,965
Every person who preserved evidence,
asked hard questions, or refused
336
00:19:34,965 --> 00:19:38,774
to accept official lies, helped
to maintain accountability for one
337
00:19:38,774 --> 00:19:42,225
of the most significant domestic
terrorism events in American history.
338
00:19:42,585 --> 00:19:47,925
Ultimately, I think understanding
the truth about Oklahoma City should
339
00:19:47,925 --> 00:19:53,745
change how you evaluate domestic
terrorism, government narratives.
340
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,110
And the relationship between
federal agencies and the extremist
341
00:19:58,110 --> 00:19:59,700
groups they claim to be fighting.
342
00:20:00,060 --> 00:20:04,800
Every domestic terrorism event
becomes a question worth examining
343
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,490
more carefully when attacks
serve obvious political purposes.
344
00:20:08,610 --> 00:20:13,770
When investigations ignore evidence of
additional conspirators, when witnesses
345
00:20:13,770 --> 00:20:17,550
die under suspicious circumstances,
you start asking whether you're
346
00:20:17,550 --> 00:20:21,750
witnessing terrorism or government
operations disguised as terrorism.
347
00:20:22,065 --> 00:20:25,785
The phrase domestic terrorism takes on
a whole new meaning when you understand
348
00:20:25,785 --> 00:20:30,075
how federal agencies might facilitate
the very attacks they claim to be.
349
00:20:30,075 --> 00:20:35,325
Preventing real terrorism threatens
government power useful terrorism
350
00:20:35,325 --> 00:20:39,885
expands government power while
eliminating political opposition.
351
00:20:40,290 --> 00:20:44,580
Government foreknowledge becomes a red
flag rather than an intelligence failure.
352
00:20:44,790 --> 00:20:48,150
When you recognize how advanced
warning can be used to guide attacks
353
00:20:48,150 --> 00:20:52,020
toward maximum political benefit,
rather than prevent them entirely.
354
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,800
Agencies that fail to
prevent attacks often benefit
355
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,480
enormously from their failures.
356
00:20:57,780 --> 00:21:00,870
The importance of independent
investigation becomes clear
357
00:21:00,930 --> 00:21:04,410
when you understand how official
investigations can be designed to
358
00:21:04,410 --> 00:21:07,620
cover up rather than expose the truth.
359
00:21:07,995 --> 00:21:12,165
When the same agencies that might have
facilitated an attack are responsible
360
00:21:12,165 --> 00:21:15,915
for investigating it, the investigation
becomes part of the coverup.
361
00:21:16,514 --> 00:21:19,125
Even witness protection
takes on new significance.
362
00:21:19,125 --> 00:21:22,125
When you realize that people with
evidence of government involvement
363
00:21:22,125 --> 00:21:26,835
in domestic terrorism face systematic
elimination, the suspicious deaths of
364
00:21:26,865 --> 00:21:30,825
Tara Yankee, Kenneth Trentadue, and
others weren't coincidences, they were
365
00:21:30,825 --> 00:21:33,165
the consequences of just knowing too much.
366
00:21:33,690 --> 00:21:39,240
Pattern recognition becomes more important
than individual case analysis when
367
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,680
similar coverup techniques appear across
different domestic terrorism events.
368
00:21:44,010 --> 00:21:48,570
Recognizing the pattern helps you
understand that you might be witnessing
369
00:21:48,570 --> 00:21:52,710
systematic government operations
rather than random terrorist attacks.
370
00:21:54,270 --> 00:21:58,980
Most importantly, you realize
that domestic terrorism might be a
371
00:21:58,980 --> 00:22:01,980
tool of government control rather
than a threat to government power.
372
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,300
The attacks that seem most dangerous
to the system often serve the system's
373
00:22:06,300 --> 00:22:09,900
interests by justifying expanded
powers and eliminating opposition.
374
00:22:10,825 --> 00:22:14,305
Look, uh, the goal here isn't
to become paranoid about every
375
00:22:14,305 --> 00:22:15,715
single domestic terrorism event.
376
00:22:15,805 --> 00:22:16,105
No.
377
00:22:16,525 --> 00:22:19,915
It is to understand that government
agencies have both the motive
378
00:22:20,185 --> 00:22:23,875
and the means to facilitate
attacks that serve their political
379
00:22:23,875 --> 00:22:28,435
objectives while maintaining quote
unquote plausible deniability.
380
00:22:28,885 --> 00:22:32,455
When you understand that Oklahoma City
might have been a government operation
381
00:22:32,455 --> 00:22:33,835
rather than a terrorist attack.
382
00:22:34,275 --> 00:22:38,865
You can make more informed decisions
about how much trust to place in those
383
00:22:38,865 --> 00:22:43,515
official narratives about domestic
terrorism and how much skepticism
384
00:22:43,665 --> 00:22:47,205
you should maintain when attacks
conveniently serve government interests.
385
00:22:48,195 --> 00:22:52,695
So they turned domestic terrorism
into a tool of government expansion
386
00:22:52,695 --> 00:22:54,765
and called it national security.
387
00:22:55,125 --> 00:22:58,965
They facilitated the very attacks they
claim to be preventing, then used those
388
00:22:58,965 --> 00:23:03,105
attacks to justify powers they couldn't
obtain through democratic processes.
389
00:23:03,435 --> 00:23:06,465
I've traced this story from white
supremacist compounds to federal
390
00:23:06,465 --> 00:23:09,645
agencies, from congressional
investigations to witness graves.
391
00:23:09,945 --> 00:23:14,235
The same techniques used to
create foreign enemies got turned
392
00:23:14,295 --> 00:23:16,845
inward to create domestic ones.
393
00:23:17,085 --> 00:23:22,545
April 19th, 1990 five, one hundred and
sixty eight people died in Oklahoma City.
394
00:23:23,340 --> 00:23:25,140
Including 19 children.
395
00:23:25,530 --> 00:23:28,230
Timothy McVeigh and Terry
Nichols took the blame.
396
00:23:28,590 --> 00:23:31,890
But the real perpetrators were the
federal agents who had advanced
397
00:23:31,890 --> 00:23:35,610
knowledge of the attack, the intelligence
operatives who guided the conspiracy
398
00:23:35,670 --> 00:23:38,970
and the officials who covered up the
truth to protect their own involvement.
399
00:23:39,210 --> 00:23:42,450
John Doe number two, vanished
from the investigation.
400
00:23:42,780 --> 00:23:45,450
Andrea fled the country
with official assistance.
401
00:23:45,780 --> 00:23:48,540
The Midwest Bank robbers who
funded the operation were ignored.
402
00:23:48,810 --> 00:23:50,430
International connections were buried.
403
00:23:50,670 --> 00:23:53,580
Multiple federal agencies had
advanced warning, but chose
404
00:23:53,580 --> 00:23:55,290
to let the attack proceed.
405
00:23:55,710 --> 00:23:59,340
Terry Yankee saved lives at the
bombing scene, then started SS King.
406
00:23:59,340 --> 00:24:01,260
Questions about what really happened.
407
00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:04,920
He was found dead in a field
allegedly by suicide after
408
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,900
being shot, slashed, and beaten.
409
00:24:07,290 --> 00:24:10,140
The official story was
physically impossible.
410
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:11,900
It served the coverup.
411
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,370
Kenneth Trentadue was beaten to
death in federal custody while
412
00:24:16,370 --> 00:24:18,350
being questioned about the bombing.
413
00:24:18,770 --> 00:24:22,220
Richard Guthrie was found dead in his
cell the day after offering to reveal
414
00:24:22,220 --> 00:24:24,260
the truth about government involvement.
415
00:24:24,710 --> 00:24:27,950
The pattern of witness elimination
was systematic and ongoing.
416
00:24:28,310 --> 00:24:33,230
The building was demolished with breakneck
speed destroying forensic evidence.
417
00:24:33,380 --> 00:24:36,170
Surveillance videos were
confiscated and never released.
418
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,980
Congressional investigation findings were
classified to prevent public disclosure.
419
00:24:41,370 --> 00:24:46,260
The coverup was as extensive as the
original operation, but here's what
420
00:24:46,260 --> 00:24:48,780
they couldn't cover up the pattern.
421
00:24:49,020 --> 00:24:52,290
Once you understand how domestic
terrorism serves government
422
00:24:52,290 --> 00:24:54,270
interests, you can't unsee it.
423
00:24:54,660 --> 00:24:58,500
Once you recognize how attacks
get facilitated and then blamed on
424
00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:02,610
convenient patsy, you can't accept
official narratives without evidence.
425
00:25:03,570 --> 00:25:08,370
The official story is that Timothy
McVeigh and Terry Nichols planned and
426
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:13,260
executed the Oklahoma City bombing
as revenge for Ruby Ridge and Waco.
427
00:25:13,650 --> 00:25:16,920
The real story is that federal
agencies facilitated the attack,
428
00:25:17,130 --> 00:25:21,960
covered up their involvement, and
used the deaths of 168 Americans to
429
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,490
justify expanded powers they couldn't
obtain through constitutional means.
430
00:25:27,254 --> 00:25:29,685
The buried truth isn't
just about Oklahoma City.
431
00:25:30,014 --> 00:25:34,334
It's about recognizing that your
government might be the terrorist and
432
00:25:34,334 --> 00:25:36,014
the terrorists might be the patsies.
433
00:25:36,344 --> 00:25:39,344
When the people who were supposed
to protect you are the ones
434
00:25:39,344 --> 00:25:40,665
who allowed you to be attacked.
435
00:25:40,875 --> 00:25:42,584
That's not a failure of the system.
436
00:25:42,945 --> 00:25:44,865
That's the system working
exactly as designed.
437
00:25:46,754 --> 00:25:48,044
Tracy out
438
00:25:48,435 --> 00:25:50,504
if this story didn't sit right with you.
439
00:25:50,925 --> 00:25:51,284
Good.
440
00:25:51,794 --> 00:25:53,235
You are not here to be comforted.
441
00:25:53,625 --> 00:25:56,145
You are here to see what others overlook.

Beneath the headlines.
2

Behind the timelines, there is a
story no one wants you to find.
3
00:00:06,540 --> 00:00:12,960
Welcome to some unapproved thinking where
forgotten truths, buried patterns, and
4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,750
invisible systems rise to the surface.
5
00:00:16,110 --> 00:00:18,840
You weren't crazy, you were just early.
6
00:00:19,350 --> 00:00:20,070
Let's begin.
7
00:00:20,460 --> 00:00:22,980
April 19th, 1995.
8
00:00:23,670 --> 00:00:27,570
168 people died in Oklahoma City.
9
00:00:28,485 --> 00:00:34,305
Timothy McVey took the blame,
and with that it was case closed.
10
00:00:34,665 --> 00:00:38,775
But what if the most devastating domestic
terror attack in American history
11
00:00:38,895 --> 00:00:43,755
was just the tip of an iceberg that
investigators were ordered not to examine?
12
00:00:44,055 --> 00:00:48,075
I remember the first time I really
questioned something the government
13
00:00:48,075 --> 00:00:50,144
told me, with absolute certainty.
14
00:00:50,535 --> 00:00:53,535
It was not too many years
after Oklahoma City.
15
00:00:53,775 --> 00:00:58,095
When I started noticing how quickly
certain stories get wrapped up, how
16
00:00:58,095 --> 00:01:02,714
neatly the evidence gets packaged, how
anyone asking uncomfortable questions
17
00:01:02,714 --> 00:01:05,175
gets labeled as unpatriotic or crazy.
18
00:01:05,565 --> 00:01:08,535
That's when I started digging into what
really happened on that April morning.
19
00:01:08,925 --> 00:01:11,759
What I found wasn't a lone
wolf with a truck bomb.
20
00:01:12,345 --> 00:01:15,615
What I found was a pattern of
additional suspects who vanished from
21
00:01:15,615 --> 00:01:20,265
the investigation, witnesses who died
under mysterious circumstances and
22
00:01:20,265 --> 00:01:23,865
evidence that pointed to a conspiracy
so large it had to be buried to protect
23
00:01:23,865 --> 00:01:25,185
the people who allowed it to happen.
24
00:01:25,515 --> 00:01:29,835
Tonight we ask when a police officer
who saved lives at the bombing scene
25
00:01:29,835 --> 00:01:31,875
ends up dead for asking questions.
26
00:01:32,205 --> 00:01:35,055
Maybe the questions were more
dangerous than the answers
27
00:01:35,325 --> 00:01:36,555
or even the bombing itself.
28
00:01:38,025 --> 00:01:40,965
This is some unapproved thinking.

Now back to the show.
35
00:02:02,460 --> 00:02:06,300
We live in an age where domestic
terrorism narratives shape policy,
36
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,110
justify surveillance expansion, and
redefine the relationship between
37
00:02:10,110 --> 00:02:11,520
citizens and their government.
38
00:02:11,910 --> 00:02:17,040
Every attack quickly becomes yet another
opportunity to expand federal power
39
00:02:17,190 --> 00:02:19,110
while restricting individual liberty.
40
00:02:19,860 --> 00:02:23,940
I've spent years watching how these
crisises keep creating opportunity for
41
00:02:23,940 --> 00:02:29,490
those who understand that public fear
can be converted into political capital.
42
00:02:29,790 --> 00:02:32,220
The bigger the crisis, the
bigger the opportunity.
43
00:02:32,340 --> 00:02:36,360
And Oklahoma City was one of the
biggest domestic crisis of its time.
44
00:02:36,690 --> 00:02:42,660
But what if the official story of Oklahoma
City, the lone wolf narrative, the simple
45
00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:47,730
truck bomb, the swift justice was all
designed to hide a more complex truth.
46
00:02:48,795 --> 00:02:53,685
That would've exposed intelligence agency
involvement, government foreknowledge,
47
00:02:54,105 --> 00:02:58,635
and a systematic coverup that reached the
highest levels of federal law enforcement.
48
00:02:59,084 --> 00:02:59,655
Mm-hmm.
49
00:03:00,315 --> 00:03:05,535
The Post 9 1 1 World has made us all
too familiar with how domestic terror
50
00:03:05,535 --> 00:03:11,505
attacks can be used to justify expanded
surveillance, increased federal power, and
51
00:03:11,505 --> 00:03:13,665
new restrictions on our civil liberties.
52
00:03:14,055 --> 00:03:17,025
But I think Oklahoma
City was the template.
53
00:03:17,415 --> 00:03:22,395
The original sketch as it were, um,
for this was the first time domestic
54
00:03:22,395 --> 00:03:26,715
terrorism was used to fundamentally
reshape the relationship between the
55
00:03:26,715 --> 00:03:28,725
American government and its citizens.
56
00:03:29,115 --> 00:03:32,865
Understanding what really happened
in Oklahoma City isn't just
57
00:03:32,865 --> 00:03:34,030
about this one single attack.
58
00:03:34,785 --> 00:03:35,175
Nope.
59
00:03:35,415 --> 00:03:40,275
It's about recognizing how domestic
terror operations might be conducted,
60
00:03:40,485 --> 00:03:45,105
can be covered up and will be used to
advance political agendas that couldn't
61
00:03:45,105 --> 00:03:50,235
be achieved through the normal, dare
say, legal democratic processes when the
62
00:03:50,235 --> 00:03:53,925
people who were supposed to investigate
the attack had advanced knowledge of it.
63
00:03:54,405 --> 00:03:58,155
When witnesses who contradicted
the official story died under
64
00:03:58,155 --> 00:04:01,575
suspicious circumstances when
evidence pointing to additional
65
00:04:01,575 --> 00:04:03,855
conspirators was systematically buried.
66
00:04:04,215 --> 00:04:06,015
You're not looking at a terrorist attack.
67
00:04:06,435 --> 00:04:06,825
Nope.
68
00:04:07,155 --> 00:04:11,144
You my friends, are witness
to a government operation.
69
00:04:12,285 --> 00:04:12,734
Okay.
70
00:04:13,635 --> 00:04:17,355
Let's walk through the evidence that
the Oklahoma City bombing was not the
71
00:04:17,355 --> 00:04:22,755
work of some lone wolf, but rather a
complex operation involving multiple
72
00:04:22,755 --> 00:04:25,425
conspirators, government foreknowledge.
73
00:04:26,130 --> 00:04:29,010
A systematic coverup that
even continues to this day.
74
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,510
Let's start with the mysterious John
Doe number two, who represents about the
75
00:04:33,510 --> 00:04:35,490
most obvious hole in the official story?
76
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,630
You see, multiple witnesses at
Elliot's Body Shop describes seeing
77
00:04:39,630 --> 00:04:43,140
Timothy McVeigh with another man
when they rented the truck that
78
00:04:43,140 --> 00:04:44,580
would've eventually carry the bomb.
79
00:04:44,940 --> 00:04:48,180
The FBI created sketches,
launched a manhunt, and then.
80
00:04:48,945 --> 00:04:53,805
Quietly dropped the investigation without
explanation, but John Doe number two
81
00:04:53,805 --> 00:04:59,595
wasn't the only additional suspect there
was Andreas Strier, a German intelligence
82
00:04:59,595 --> 00:05:03,795
operative who lived at the Elohim City
white supremacist compound in Oklahoma.
83
00:05:04,065 --> 00:05:07,365
Phone records show that McVeigh
called Elohim City just two
84
00:05:07,365 --> 00:05:11,505
weeks before the bombing asking
specifically to speak with Strat Mir.
85
00:05:11,865 --> 00:05:16,305
Now let me pause here and ask you,
have you read the Congressional
86
00:05:16,305 --> 00:05:17,565
investigation documents?
87
00:05:18,270 --> 00:05:23,370
Yeah, yeah, I know they're
heavily redacted, but what
88
00:05:23,370 --> 00:05:25,320
remains is quite damning.
89
00:05:25,770 --> 00:05:30,300
STRs Mir had connections to
German intelligence services.
90
00:05:30,630 --> 00:05:34,890
He was in the United States on an
expired visa, but was never deported.
91
00:05:35,550 --> 00:05:39,390
And after the bombing, he fled
the country with what appears to
92
00:05:39,390 --> 00:05:41,430
have been official assistance.
93
00:05:41,805 --> 00:05:45,975
Then there is the Midwest Bank robbers,
a white supremacist gang that robbed
94
00:05:45,975 --> 00:05:48,315
at least 18 banks in the 1990s.
95
00:05:48,675 --> 00:05:53,235
They too had direct connections to both
McVey and the Elohim City compound.
96
00:05:53,445 --> 00:05:57,075
Two gang members had been roommates
with Strat Mir, the gang's leader.
97
00:05:57,075 --> 00:05:59,955
Richard Guthrie even told authorities
he had information about the
98
00:05:59,955 --> 00:06:03,735
Oklahoma City bombing and that
he was prepared to talk, but.
99
00:06:04,110 --> 00:06:07,920
Guthrie was found dead in his jail
cell the day after making this
100
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,200
offer officially ruled a suicide.
101
00:06:10,590 --> 00:06:14,280
But the timing was remarkably convenient
for people who didn't want him talking.
102
00:06:14,610 --> 00:06:19,080
Terry Nichols McVay's co-conspirator,
made multiple trips to the Philippines
103
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,550
in the months before the bombing.
104
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,930
He claimed he was looking for a wife,
but witnesses reported that he was
105
00:06:24,930 --> 00:06:28,110
asking about bomb making techniques
and meeting with people connected
106
00:06:28,110 --> 00:06:29,940
to international terrorist networks.
107
00:06:30,270 --> 00:06:35,040
Now, to me, the most disturbing evidence
involves government foreknowledge.
108
00:06:35,340 --> 00:06:39,900
Multiple federal agencies had
advanced warning that something was
109
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:42,090
planned for the Murra building A TF.
110
00:06:42,090 --> 00:06:44,760
Agents were told not to
come to work that day.
111
00:06:45,150 --> 00:06:48,450
The FBI even had informants
inside the white supremacist
112
00:06:48,450 --> 00:06:50,040
networks planning the attack.
113
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,210
Wait, what?
114
00:06:51,540 --> 00:06:54,930
Yeah, but instead of preventing the
bombing, they just let it happen.
115
00:06:55,140 --> 00:06:55,650
Why?
116
00:06:55,650 --> 00:06:56,490
You may ask.
117
00:06:56,849 --> 00:07:02,790
Well, basically because domestic
terrorism serves political purposes
118
00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:05,430
that preventing terrorism does not.
119
00:07:05,820 --> 00:07:09,390
The Oklahoma City bombing justified the
expansion of federal law enforcement
120
00:07:09,390 --> 00:07:13,050
powers increased surveillance
capabilities and new restrictions
121
00:07:13,050 --> 00:07:14,670
on militia groups and gun owners.
122
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,360
The coverup here was swift
and almost began immediately.
123
00:07:18,674 --> 00:07:22,515
Police officer Terry Yake was one of the
first responders at the bombing scene.
124
00:07:22,905 --> 00:07:25,724
He saved multiple lives, but
in the days and weeks that
125
00:07:25,724 --> 00:07:29,534
followed, he became convinced
that the official story was a lie.
126
00:07:29,835 --> 00:07:35,534
So like anyone else, he started
investigating on his own, collecting
127
00:07:35,534 --> 00:07:39,849
evidence, interviewing witnesses,
documenting inconsistencies.
128
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:44,430
Yankee told his family that federal
officials were lying about what happened.
129
00:07:44,820 --> 00:07:46,710
He said he had evidence
that would expose the truth.
130
00:07:46,710 --> 00:07:50,219
He was even scheduled to receive a medal
for his heroic actions on the day of the
131
00:07:50,219 --> 00:07:53,610
bombing, but instead of receiving a medal
for all his good deeds, he was found
132
00:07:53,610 --> 00:07:56,190
dead in a field allegedly by suicide.
133
00:07:56,580 --> 00:07:59,820
However, the circumstances
were quite impossible.
134
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,330
He had been shot, slashed,
o and beaten as well.
135
00:08:04,185 --> 00:08:07,664
There was evidence he had been
restrained and his body was found
136
00:08:07,664 --> 00:08:11,685
about a half mile from his car, which
contained large amounts of blood.
137
00:08:12,015 --> 00:08:15,044
So, um, does that sound
like a suicide to you?
138
00:08:15,794 --> 00:08:17,145
Yeah, me neither.
139
00:08:17,505 --> 00:08:20,685
So again, the official story was that
Yankee had cut his own throat and wrists,
140
00:08:20,955 --> 00:08:24,255
then walked half a mile through a field
before shooting himself in the head.
141
00:08:24,435 --> 00:08:26,145
I guess that means he beat himself up too.
142
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,700
Look, anyone who's seen the
crime scene photos knows this is
143
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:31,980
physically impossible, but hold on.
144
00:08:32,309 --> 00:08:35,820
Yankee wasn't the only witness who
died under suspicious circumstances.
145
00:08:36,179 --> 00:08:39,659
Kenneth Renado was beaten to death
in federal custody while being
146
00:08:39,659 --> 00:08:40,825
questioned about the bombing.
147
00:08:41,819 --> 00:08:46,589
His death too was ruled to suicide,
but the autopsy photos show he
148
00:08:46,589 --> 00:08:48,540
was tortured before being killed.
149
00:08:48,839 --> 00:08:52,709
The pattern also extends into
how evidence was handled.
150
00:08:53,069 --> 00:08:56,880
The building itself was demolished
with unusual speed, thus destroying
151
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,530
potential forensic evidence.
152
00:08:58,829 --> 00:09:01,380
Surveillance videos from nearby buildings
that might have shown additional
153
00:09:01,380 --> 00:09:05,459
suspects were found, confiscated,
and never released, and any witness
154
00:09:05,459 --> 00:09:08,819
testimony that contradicted the official
story was ignored or suppressed.
155
00:09:09,195 --> 00:09:13,425
Congressional investigations found
evidence of a systematic coverup involving
156
00:09:13,425 --> 00:09:17,985
multiple federal agencies, but the
most damaging findings were classified
157
00:09:17,985 --> 00:09:20,145
and remain hidden from public view.
158
00:09:20,475 --> 00:09:26,865
So basically what we do know is
bad enough leaving what we don't
159
00:09:26,865 --> 00:09:29,745
know to be probably far worse.
160
00:09:30,465 --> 00:09:33,855
The Oklahoma City bombing
wasn't a terrorist attack that
161
00:09:33,855 --> 00:09:35,745
was investigated and solved.
162
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,089
It was a government operation
that was covered up and blamed on
163
00:09:39,089 --> 00:09:42,750
convenient patsies who couldn't
expose the truth because they were
164
00:09:42,750 --> 00:09:44,939
either dead or facing execution.
165
00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:48,990
Now, as many of you know, this pattern
of government involvement in domestic
166
00:09:48,990 --> 00:09:53,280
terrorism followed by systematic
coverups isn't unique to Oklahoma City.
167
00:09:53,610 --> 00:09:57,089
Throughout American history, federal
agencies have used similar tactics
168
00:09:57,089 --> 00:10:00,420
to justify expanded powers and
eliminate political opposition.
169
00:10:00,735 --> 00:10:05,115
The 1993 World Trade Center bombing
provides about the most direct
170
00:10:05,115 --> 00:10:10,605
parallel to Oklahoma City FBI Informant
Emad Salem was working inside the
171
00:10:10,605 --> 00:10:12,165
terrorist cell planning the attack.
172
00:10:12,345 --> 00:10:15,795
He offered to substitute harmless
powder for the real explosives,
173
00:10:16,065 --> 00:10:19,095
but his FBI handlers told him
to let the bombing proceed.
174
00:10:19,395 --> 00:10:22,995
They wanted the attack to happen
because it served their purposes.
175
00:10:23,415 --> 00:10:27,464
Those that have read Salem's recorded
conversations with his FBI handlers
176
00:10:27,464 --> 00:10:29,265
know that their bone chilling.
177
00:10:29,625 --> 00:10:33,944
The FBI had advanced knowledge of the
World Trade Center bombing and chose to
178
00:10:33,944 --> 00:10:36,495
let it happen rather than prevent it.
179
00:10:36,915 --> 00:10:39,614
The same pattern appears in Oklahoma City.
180
00:10:39,974 --> 00:10:44,775
The co Intel Pro operations of the
1960s and 1970s demonstrate how federal
181
00:10:44,775 --> 00:10:49,875
agencies infiltrate, manipulate,
and sometimes direct the very groups
182
00:10:49,875 --> 00:10:51,405
they claim to be investigating.
183
00:10:51,734 --> 00:10:55,094
The FBI didn't just monitor
radical organizations.
184
00:10:55,334 --> 00:10:56,444
They created them.
185
00:10:56,625 --> 00:11:00,165
They funded them, and they
even directed their activities.
186
00:11:00,555 --> 00:11:05,385
Operation Gladio in Europe used similar
tactics with intelligence agencies
187
00:11:05,385 --> 00:11:10,244
creating and directing terrorist groups
to justify expanded government powers
188
00:11:10,275 --> 00:11:12,375
and eliminate political opposition.
189
00:11:12,614 --> 00:11:15,614
The same techniques were imported
to the United States and used
190
00:11:15,614 --> 00:11:16,785
against domestic targets.
191
00:11:17,460 --> 00:11:22,260
The Ruby Ridge incident in 1992 shows
how federal agencies create the very
192
00:11:22,260 --> 00:11:23,760
extremism they claim to be fighting.
193
00:11:24,464 --> 00:11:28,995
Randy Weaver was entrapped by federal
agents who pressured him to sell illegal
194
00:11:28,995 --> 00:11:34,125
weapons, then used his refusal to
cooperate as justification for a siege
195
00:11:34,125 --> 00:11:36,045
that ultimately killed his wife and son.
196
00:11:36,344 --> 00:11:38,474
How about the Waco Siege?
197
00:11:38,594 --> 00:11:42,615
In 1993, it followed the same pattern.
198
00:11:42,855 --> 00:11:46,755
The Branch Davidians were not a threat
to anyone until federal agents created
199
00:11:46,755 --> 00:11:51,525
a confrontation that resulted in the
deaths of 76 people, including children.
200
00:11:52,229 --> 00:11:56,010
Both Ruby Ridge and Waco were
cited by McVey as motivations
201
00:11:56,010 --> 00:11:57,510
for the Oklahoma City bombing.
202
00:11:57,839 --> 00:11:59,670
But what if that wasn't coincidence?
203
00:11:59,939 --> 00:12:04,650
What if Ruby Ridge and Waco were designed
to create the very extremist backlash that
204
00:12:04,650 --> 00:12:06,540
would justify the Oklahoma City operation?
205
00:12:07,370 --> 00:12:08,780
The timeline is too convenient.
206
00:12:08,990 --> 00:12:11,839
The connection's too obvious, the
outcome's too beneficial to federal
207
00:12:11,839 --> 00:12:13,939
agencies for this to be merely accidental.
208
00:12:14,209 --> 00:12:17,839
The pattern reveals itself in how
domestic terrorism serves government
209
00:12:17,839 --> 00:12:20,030
interests better than foreign terrorism.
210
00:12:20,329 --> 00:12:24,680
Foreign attacks justify military
spending and oversees operations.
211
00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:29,000
Domestic attacks justify surveillance,
expansion, and restrictions
212
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:29,954
on constitutional rights.
213
00:12:30,645 --> 00:12:33,885
So as you can see, historical precedent
shows that federal agencies are
214
00:12:33,885 --> 00:12:37,995
perfectly capable of conducting false
flag operations when the political
215
00:12:37,995 --> 00:12:39,045
benefits outweigh the moral costs.
216
00:12:40,545 --> 00:12:44,175
The Oklahoma City bombing had all the
characteristics of such an operation,
217
00:12:44,655 --> 00:12:48,285
government, foreknowledge intelligence
agency connections, convenient
218
00:12:48,285 --> 00:12:50,265
patsies, and systematic coverup.
219
00:12:50,564 --> 00:12:54,675
Understanding this history helps
explain why questioning the Oklahoma
220
00:12:54,675 --> 00:12:58,844
City narrative triggers such
defensive responses from government
221
00:12:58,844 --> 00:13:00,885
officials and the mainstream media.
222
00:13:01,305 --> 00:13:02,834
It's not because the evidence is strong.
223
00:13:02,984 --> 00:13:06,584
It's because the truth would expose
a pattern of government sponsored
224
00:13:06,584 --> 00:13:08,775
terrorism that continues to this day.
225
00:13:09,420 --> 00:13:09,660
Hmm.
226
00:13:10,260 --> 00:13:14,280
Let me examine the recurring mechanisms
of government-sponsored domestic
227
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,780
terrorism, and let's see how they are
applied to the Oklahoma City bombing.
228
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,200
The pattern always begins with
intelligence agencies infiltrating
229
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:27,300
extremist groups not to prevent or even
dismantle terrorism, but instead to direct
230
00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:29,490
it toward more politically useful targets.
231
00:13:29,820 --> 00:13:33,660
The FBI had informants inside
the white supremacist networks
232
00:13:33,660 --> 00:13:35,460
connected to McVeigh and Nichols.
233
00:13:35,805 --> 00:13:40,275
Instead of preventing the bombing, they
guided it toward maximum political impact.
234
00:13:40,575 --> 00:13:44,445
We have all seen this pattern in
settings where problems are allowed
235
00:13:44,445 --> 00:13:47,925
to develop because solving them
would eliminate opportunities for
236
00:13:47,925 --> 00:13:50,205
expansion and increased budgets.
237
00:13:50,475 --> 00:13:52,755
Government agencies operate the same way.
238
00:13:52,965 --> 00:13:55,814
They need threats to justify
their existence and growth.
239
00:13:56,444 --> 00:13:57,704
Then convenient.
240
00:13:57,704 --> 00:14:01,574
Patsy get selected and groomed to
take responsibility for operations.
241
00:14:01,755 --> 00:14:03,435
They didn't fully plan or control.
242
00:14:03,735 --> 00:14:05,175
McVeigh and Nichols were perfect.
243
00:14:05,175 --> 00:14:08,805
Patsy genuine extremists with real
grievances who could be credibly
244
00:14:08,805 --> 00:14:12,225
blamed for the attack while the
real planners remained hidden.
245
00:14:12,810 --> 00:14:15,780
The timing of domestic terror
attacks consistently serves
246
00:14:15,870 --> 00:14:18,120
specific political objectives.
247
00:14:18,390 --> 00:14:22,469
Oklahoma City happened just as Congress
was considering legislation to restrict
248
00:14:22,469 --> 00:14:24,150
federal law enforcement powers.
249
00:14:24,479 --> 00:14:27,660
The bombing provided justification
for expanding those powers instead.
250
00:14:28,230 --> 00:14:32,040
Multiple suspects get systematically
eliminated from investigations to maintain
251
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,010
the lone wolf narrative like John Doe.
252
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:39,090
Number two, Andrea Strier, the Midwest
Bank, robbers and International
253
00:14:39,090 --> 00:14:42,120
Connections all disappeared from
the official investigation despite
254
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,010
substantial evidence of their involvement.
255
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,880
Witnesses who contradict the
official story, face intimidation,
256
00:14:48,150 --> 00:14:49,709
discrediting, or elimination.
257
00:14:50,069 --> 00:14:50,819
Terry Yankee.
258
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,079
Kenneth Trent to do.
259
00:14:52,485 --> 00:14:55,545
Others who had evidence of government
involvement died under suspicious
260
00:14:55,545 --> 00:14:57,855
circumstances that were ruled suicides.
261
00:14:57,855 --> 00:15:02,714
Despite obvious evidence of murder,
evidence that would expose government
262
00:15:02,714 --> 00:15:08,055
involvement gets destroyed, classified,
or even suppressed, the Murra building
263
00:15:08,055 --> 00:15:09,975
was demolished unusually quickly.
264
00:15:09,975 --> 00:15:12,765
Surveillance videos were
confiscated and never released.
265
00:15:12,824 --> 00:15:16,185
And congressional investigation
findings were classified to
266
00:15:16,185 --> 00:15:17,625
prevent public disclosure.
267
00:15:18,255 --> 00:15:22,395
The most insidious aspect is how
domestic terrorism gets used to
268
00:15:22,395 --> 00:15:26,744
justify the very policies that
the terrorists supposedly opposed.
269
00:15:27,165 --> 00:15:31,064
McVeigh claimed to be fighting government
tyranny, but his attack was used to expand
270
00:15:31,064 --> 00:15:34,905
government power and restrict the rights
of the people he claimed to represent.
271
00:15:35,265 --> 00:15:39,104
Mainstream media coverage focuses on
the official narrative while ignoring
272
00:15:39,104 --> 00:15:40,724
evidence of any government involvement.
273
00:15:41,265 --> 00:15:44,204
The same outlets that investigate
government corruption in other contexts
274
00:15:44,204 --> 00:15:46,454
become stenographers for official stories.
275
00:15:46,454 --> 00:15:50,864
When domestic terrorism is involved, the
pattern even extends to how questioning
276
00:15:50,864 --> 00:15:55,964
domestic terrorism narratives gets
treated as evidence of extremism itself.
277
00:15:56,354 --> 00:15:59,385
People who ask legitimate questions
about government involvement get
278
00:15:59,385 --> 00:16:04,410
labeled as tinfoil hat, wearing
conspiracy theorists, unpatriotic, or
279
00:16:04,454 --> 00:16:06,314
even potential terrorists themselves.
280
00:16:06,690 --> 00:16:12,210
The most concerning pattern is how
domestic terrorism creates precedence for
281
00:16:12,210 --> 00:16:17,400
expanded government power that get applied
far beyond their original justification.
282
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,090
The surveillance and law enforcement
powers justified by Oklahoma City
283
00:16:21,090 --> 00:16:24,930
were later expanded after nine
11 and are still growing today.
284
00:16:25,290 --> 00:16:28,230
The patterns reveals that domestic
terrorism serves government
285
00:16:28,230 --> 00:16:32,400
interest so well that preventing
it would actually harm the agencies
286
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,600
responsible for stopping it.
287
00:16:34,260 --> 00:16:37,890
This creates perverse incentives
where success is measured by
288
00:16:37,890 --> 00:16:41,729
the expansion of power rather
than the prevention of attacks.
289
00:16:42,599 --> 00:16:48,150
But not everyone accepted the
official Oklahoma City narrative or
290
00:16:48,150 --> 00:16:53,189
participated in the coverup throughout
the investigation and its aftermath.
291
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,660
Individuals chose truth over
career advancement and integrity
292
00:16:57,810 --> 00:16:59,035
over institutional loyalty.
293
00:16:59,699 --> 00:17:03,180
Some FBI agents and federal
investigators privately expressed
294
00:17:03,180 --> 00:17:06,930
doubts about the official story and
the systematic suppression of evidence
295
00:17:06,930 --> 00:17:08,639
pointing to additional conspirators.
296
00:17:08,970 --> 00:17:12,839
While few spoke publicly due to
career consequences, their private
297
00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:16,859
accounts suggest widespread knowledge
within federal agencies that the
298
00:17:16,859 --> 00:17:18,900
official story was incomplete.
299
00:17:19,454 --> 00:17:22,379
Congressional investigators documented
evidence of government foreknowledge
300
00:17:22,379 --> 00:17:26,339
and coverup despite enormous pressure
to accept the official narrative.
301
00:17:26,730 --> 00:17:30,930
Their work, though heavily redacted
and partially classified, provides
302
00:17:30,930 --> 00:17:34,140
official confirmation that the
Oklahoma City investigation was
303
00:17:34,140 --> 00:17:35,940
compromised from the beginning.
304
00:17:36,270 --> 00:17:39,510
Some have met people who worked on
the congressional investigation.
305
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:45,930
While they can't or won't speak publicly
about what they found, but their
306
00:17:45,930 --> 00:17:49,320
private accounts make it clear that the
truth about Oklahoma City is far more
307
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,210
disturbing than the official story.
308
00:17:51,585 --> 00:17:54,525
Independent journalists investigated
the connections between government
309
00:17:54,525 --> 00:17:57,045
agencies and the bombing,
despite facing professional
310
00:17:57,045 --> 00:17:58,785
retaliation and legal threats.
311
00:17:59,085 --> 00:18:02,595
Their work preserved evidence and
testimony that official investigations
312
00:18:02,835 --> 00:18:06,735
ignored or suppressed family members
of victims refused to accept the
313
00:18:06,735 --> 00:18:09,885
official story when evidence suggested
government involvement in their loved
314
00:18:09,885 --> 00:18:13,845
ones deaths, despite facing character
assassination and legal pressure.
315
00:18:13,995 --> 00:18:18,705
Some continued demanding answers that
official investigations refuse to provide.
316
00:18:19,290 --> 00:18:22,950
Witnesses who saw evidence of additional
suspects maintain their accounts
317
00:18:22,950 --> 00:18:25,380
despite intimidation and threats.
318
00:18:25,980 --> 00:18:30,480
Their consistency over decades suggests
that their testimony was accurate
319
00:18:30,540 --> 00:18:34,350
and that the official investigation
deliberately ignored credible evidence.
320
00:18:35,060 --> 00:18:39,080
Some members of Congress continued
asking questions about Oklahoma
321
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,920
City, despite political pressure
to accept the official narrative.
322
00:18:43,220 --> 00:18:46,760
Their persistence kept some
aspects of the investigation
323
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,810
alive, even when other officials
wanted the case closed permanently.
324
00:18:51,140 --> 00:18:54,980
Some alternative media platforms
provided a space for information and
325
00:18:54,980 --> 00:18:57,755
analysis that mainstream outlets avoided.
326
00:18:58,335 --> 00:19:02,475
They preserve testimony, evidence,
and analysis that would've been
327
00:19:02,475 --> 00:19:05,955
lost if it were only official
channels covering the story.
328
00:19:06,285 --> 00:19:10,665
But as always, the most important
resistance came from ordinary Americans
329
00:19:10,875 --> 00:19:15,945
like you and me who refuse to accept that
their government would allow or facilitate
330
00:19:15,945 --> 00:19:18,105
domestic terrorism for political gain.
331
00:19:18,435 --> 00:19:22,485
Our skepticism and continued questioning
helped to preserve the possibility
332
00:19:22,605 --> 00:19:24,070
that the truth might eventually emerge.
333
00:19:24,945 --> 00:19:27,945
All these outliers demonstrate
that the Oklahoma City coverup
334
00:19:28,125 --> 00:19:30,075
wasn't inevitable or complete.
335
00:19:30,435 --> 00:19:34,965
Every person who preserved evidence,
asked hard questions, or refused
336
00:19:34,965 --> 00:19:38,774
to accept official lies, helped
to maintain accountability for one
337
00:19:38,774 --> 00:19:42,225
of the most significant domestic
terrorism events in American history.
338
00:19:42,585 --> 00:19:47,925
Ultimately, I think understanding
the truth about Oklahoma City should
339
00:19:47,925 --> 00:19:53,745
change how you evaluate domestic
terrorism, government narratives.
340
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,110
And the relationship between
federal agencies and the extremist
341
00:19:58,110 --> 00:19:59,700
groups they claim to be fighting.
342
00:20:00,060 --> 00:20:04,800
Every domestic terrorism event
becomes a question worth examining
343
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,490
more carefully when attacks
serve obvious political purposes.
344
00:20:08,610 --> 00:20:13,770
When investigations ignore evidence of
additional conspirators, when witnesses
345
00:20:13,770 --> 00:20:17,550
die under suspicious circumstances,
you start asking whether you're
346
00:20:17,550 --> 00:20:21,750
witnessing terrorism or government
operations disguised as terrorism.
347
00:20:22,065 --> 00:20:25,785
The phrase domestic terrorism takes on
a whole new meaning when you understand
348
00:20:25,785 --> 00:20:30,075
how federal agencies might facilitate
the very attacks they claim to be.
349
00:20:30,075 --> 00:20:35,325
Preventing real terrorism threatens
government power useful terrorism
350
00:20:35,325 --> 00:20:39,885
expands government power while
eliminating political opposition.
351
00:20:40,290 --> 00:20:44,580
Government foreknowledge becomes a red
flag rather than an intelligence failure.
352
00:20:44,790 --> 00:20:48,150
When you recognize how advanced
warning can be used to guide attacks
353
00:20:48,150 --> 00:20:52,020
toward maximum political benefit,
rather than prevent them entirely.
354
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,800
Agencies that fail to
prevent attacks often benefit
355
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,480
enormously from their failures.
356
00:20:57,780 --> 00:21:00,870
The importance of independent
investigation becomes clear
357
00:21:00,930 --> 00:21:04,410
when you understand how official
investigations can be designed to
358
00:21:04,410 --> 00:21:07,620
cover up rather than expose the truth.
359
00:21:07,995 --> 00:21:12,165
When the same agencies that might have
facilitated an attack are responsible
360
00:21:12,165 --> 00:21:15,915
for investigating it, the investigation
becomes part of the coverup.
361
00:21:16,514 --> 00:21:19,125
Even witness protection
takes on new significance.
362
00:21:19,125 --> 00:21:22,125
When you realize that people with
evidence of government involvement
363
00:21:22,125 --> 00:21:26,835
in domestic terrorism face systematic
elimination, the suspicious deaths of
364
00:21:26,865 --> 00:21:30,825
Tara Yankee, Kenneth Trentadue, and
others weren't coincidences, they were
365
00:21:30,825 --> 00:21:33,165
the consequences of just knowing too much.
366
00:21:33,690 --> 00:21:39,240
Pattern recognition becomes more important
than individual case analysis when
367
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,680
similar coverup techniques appear across
different domestic terrorism events.
368
00:21:44,010 --> 00:21:48,570
Recognizing the pattern helps you
understand that you might be witnessing
369
00:21:48,570 --> 00:21:52,710
systematic government operations
rather than random terrorist attacks.
370
00:21:54,270 --> 00:21:58,980
Most importantly, you realize
that domestic terrorism might be a
371
00:21:58,980 --> 00:22:01,980
tool of government control rather
than a threat to government power.
372
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,300
The attacks that seem most dangerous
to the system often serve the system's
373
00:22:06,300 --> 00:22:09,900
interests by justifying expanded
powers and eliminating opposition.
374
00:22:10,825 --> 00:22:14,305
Look, uh, the goal here isn't
to become paranoid about every
375
00:22:14,305 --> 00:22:15,715
single domestic terrorism event.
376
00:22:15,805 --> 00:22:16,105
No.
377
00:22:16,525 --> 00:22:19,915
It is to understand that government
agencies have both the motive
378
00:22:20,185 --> 00:22:23,875
and the means to facilitate
attacks that serve their political
379
00:22:23,875 --> 00:22:28,435
objectives while maintaining quote
unquote plausible deniability.
380
00:22:28,885 --> 00:22:32,455
When you understand that Oklahoma City
might have been a government operation
381
00:22:32,455 --> 00:22:33,835
rather than a terrorist attack.
382
00:22:34,275 --> 00:22:38,865
You can make more informed decisions
about how much trust to place in those
383
00:22:38,865 --> 00:22:43,515
official narratives about domestic
terrorism and how much skepticism
384
00:22:43,665 --> 00:22:47,205
you should maintain when attacks
conveniently serve government interests.
385
00:22:48,195 --> 00:22:52,695
So they turned domestic terrorism
into a tool of government expansion
386
00:22:52,695 --> 00:22:54,765
and called it national security.
387
00:22:55,125 --> 00:22:58,965
They facilitated the very attacks they
claim to be preventing, then used those
388
00:22:58,965 --> 00:23:03,105
attacks to justify powers they couldn't
obtain through democratic processes.
389
00:23:03,435 --> 00:23:06,465
I've traced this story from white
supremacist compounds to federal
390
00:23:06,465 --> 00:23:09,645
agencies, from congressional
investigations to witness graves.
391
00:23:09,945 --> 00:23:14,235
The same techniques used to
create foreign enemies got turned
392
00:23:14,295 --> 00:23:16,845
inward to create domestic ones.
393
00:23:17,085 --> 00:23:22,545
April 19th, 1990 five, one hundred and
sixty eight people died in Oklahoma City.
394
00:23:23,340 --> 00:23:25,140
Including 19 children.
395
00:23:25,530 --> 00:23:28,230
Timothy McVeigh and Terry
Nichols took the blame.
396
00:23:28,590 --> 00:23:31,890
But the real perpetrators were the
federal agents who had advanced
397
00:23:31,890 --> 00:23:35,610
knowledge of the attack, the intelligence
operatives who guided the conspiracy
398
00:23:35,670 --> 00:23:38,970
and the officials who covered up the
truth to protect their own involvement.
399
00:23:39,210 --> 00:23:42,450
John Doe number two, vanished
from the investigation.
400
00:23:42,780 --> 00:23:45,450
Andrea fled the country
with official assistance.
401
00:23:45,780 --> 00:23:48,540
The Midwest Bank robbers who
funded the operation were ignored.
402
00:23:48,810 --> 00:23:50,430
International connections were buried.
403
00:23:50,670 --> 00:23:53,580
Multiple federal agencies had
advanced warning, but chose
404
00:23:53,580 --> 00:23:55,290
to let the attack proceed.
405
00:23:55,710 --> 00:23:59,340
Terry Yankee saved lives at the
bombing scene, then started SS King.
406
00:23:59,340 --> 00:24:01,260
Questions about what really happened.
407
00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:04,920
He was found dead in a field
allegedly by suicide after
408
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,900
being shot, slashed, and beaten.
409
00:24:07,290 --> 00:24:10,140
The official story was
physically impossible.
410
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:11,900
It served the coverup.
411
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,370
Kenneth Trentadue was beaten to
death in federal custody while
412
00:24:16,370 --> 00:24:18,350
being questioned about the bombing.
413
00:24:18,770 --> 00:24:22,220
Richard Guthrie was found dead in his
cell the day after offering to reveal
414
00:24:22,220 --> 00:24:24,260
the truth about government involvement.
415
00:24:24,710 --> 00:24:27,950
The pattern of witness elimination
was systematic and ongoing.
416
00:24:28,310 --> 00:24:33,230
The building was demolished with breakneck
speed destroying forensic evidence.
417
00:24:33,380 --> 00:24:36,170
Surveillance videos were
confiscated and never released.
418
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,980
Congressional investigation findings were
classified to prevent public disclosure.
419
00:24:41,370 --> 00:24:46,260
The coverup was as extensive as the
original operation, but here's what
420
00:24:46,260 --> 00:24:48,780
they couldn't cover up the pattern.
421
00:24:49,020 --> 00:24:52,290
Once you understand how domestic
terrorism serves government
422
00:24:52,290 --> 00:24:54,270
interests, you can't unsee it.
423
00:24:54,660 --> 00:24:58,500
Once you recognize how attacks
get facilitated and then blamed on
424
00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:02,610
convenient patsy, you can't accept
official narratives without evidence.
425
00:25:03,570 --> 00:25:08,370
The official story is that Timothy
McVeigh and Terry Nichols planned and
426
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:13,260
executed the Oklahoma City bombing
as revenge for Ruby Ridge and Waco.
427
00:25:13,650 --> 00:25:16,920
The real story is that federal
agencies facilitated the attack,
428
00:25:17,130 --> 00:25:21,960
covered up their involvement, and
used the deaths of 168 Americans to
429
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,490
justify expanded powers they couldn't
obtain through constitutional means.
430
00:25:27,254 --> 00:25:29,685
The buried truth isn't
just about Oklahoma City.
431
00:25:30,014 --> 00:25:34,334
It's about recognizing that your
government might be the terrorist and
432
00:25:34,334 --> 00:25:36,014
the terrorists might be the patsies.
433
00:25:36,344 --> 00:25:39,344
When the people who were supposed
to protect you are the ones
434
00:25:39,344 --> 00:25:40,665
who allowed you to be attacked.
435
00:25:40,875 --> 00:25:42,584
That's not a failure of the system.
436
00:25:42,945 --> 00:25:44,865
That's the system working
exactly as designed.
437
00:25:46,754 --> 00:25:48,044
Tracy out
438
00:25:48,435 --> 00:25:50,504
if this story didn't sit right with you.
439
00:25:50,925 --> 00:25:51,284
Good.
440
00:25:51,794 --> 00:25:53,235
You are not here to be comforted.
441
00:25:53,625 --> 00:25:56,145
You are here to see what others overlook.
