1 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. 29 00:01:41,295 --> 00:01:45,435 Thank you to our sponsor, the Dark Horse Entrepreneur Podcast. 30 00:01:45,825 --> 00:01:50,595 Unlock your potential with the Dark Horse

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
