Deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole…

By: James Burge

Since writing the last post on the OK City bombing, I have been perusing various articles on the internet and came across a few things I wanted to share. I encourage you to read the other post before continueing with this one.

In my last post I mentioned another individual, wanted for questioning that became referred to as John Doe No. 3, well it seems that although a multi million dollar investigation couldn’t find him but it seems the internets have. A really good article I came across, containing information on an Andreas Carl Strassmeir, who not only moved to Oklahoma from Germany in the years prior to the bombing he looks a hell of a lot like the composite sketch of John Doe No. 3. The article reveals that an ATF informant Carol Howe was infiltrating a white supremacist group ran by Tom Metzger called White Aryan Resistance. In a report she filed in 1994 she said that “she overheard Andreas Strassmeir and Dennis Mahon discussing a plan to blow up Federal buildings including the Tulsa IRS Office, the Tulsa Federal Building and the Oklahoma Federal Building.” It seems to me this provided the evidence needed by the FBI to ‘hijack’ the plot, further radicalize those involved, provide whatever material support needed, (training, explosives) so that they had a patsy all lined up. As for why he wasn’t pursued in the OK city bombing, it seems that Andy the German (as he was known by some) may have been a CIA asset. Apparently one evening, after some of the people Andreas had been associating with suspected something was up, and decided to follow him. They allegedly followed him to a Federal Building, entered the correct code for the locked door. Apparently, in addition to this an individual who worked at an impound lot, got a lot of pressure from lawyers and the state department to release Andreas’ car, and fast, because he had diplomatic immunity, which spells CIA asset to me. When he came to pick up his car, he was more worried about a briefcase which had been searched and was said to have remarked, “’Well, no one will be able to understand what these are anyway.” After leaving the country Strassmeir was said to have remarked:

“It’s obvious that it was a government ‘op’ that went wrong, isn’t it? The ATF had something going with McVeigh. They were watching him, of course they were. What they should have done is make an arrest while the bomb was still being made instead of waiting till the last moment for a publicity stunt. They had everything they needed to make the bust, and they screwed it up.”

One of the biggest things going for them is that the general public doesn’t even have a clue about explosions. A large, visibly impressive explosion is rarely that destructive. The pressure waves put of by high explosives don’t give the large cloud of fire and smoke that smaller explosions (usually used in Hollywood for obvious reasons). But it is this pressure wave that causes the damage. However, most explosives experts agree, “[..] [M]y belief is that 4800 lbs of ANFO wouldn’t have scuffed the paint on the building!”

Another thing I came across was a video, of a man, arrested on what he claims are false drug charges used to get him off the street. He was apparently involved in building a bomb that he says fits the devastation seen in the OK city. It also apparently explains the fact that evidence exists that two explosions, 5 seconds apart occurred on the morning of the OK city bombing. This 5 second gap between the first small explosion and the second is to allow a gaseous chemical explosive to fill the air surrounding the structure to be destroyed before that gas is then ignited causing the second explosion. He has no doubt that the OK city bomb was this barometric bomb. The other interesting thing he mentioned at the very end of the film is that the 1983 US Embassy bombing in Beirut, Lebanon (although he claims in the video it was an apartment complex) was the first time this type of bomb had been used.
