Here's McVeigh in his own words.

McVeigh's Apr. 26 Letter to Fox News
Published April 26, 2001

I explain herein why I bombed the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. I explain this not for publicity, nor seeking to win an argument of right or wrong. I explain so that the record is clear as to my thinking and motivations in bombing a government installation.

I chose to bomb a federal building because such an action served more purposes than other options. Foremost, the bombing was a retaliatory strike; a counter attack, for the cumulative raids (and subsequent violence and damage) that federal agents had participated in over the preceding years (including, but not limited to, Waco.) From the formation of such units as the FBI's "Hostage Rescue" and other assault teams amongst federal agencies during the '80's; culminating in the Waco incident, federal actions grew increasingly militaristic and violent, to the point where at Waco, our government - like the Chinese - was deploying tanks against its own citizens.

Knowledge of these multiple and ever-more aggressive raids across the country constituted an identifiable pattern of conduct within and by the federal government and amongst its various agencies. (see enclosed) For all intents and purposes, federal agents had become "soldiers" (using military training, tactics, techniques, equipment, language, dress, organization, and mindset) and they were escalating their behavior. Therefore, this bombing was also meant as a pre-emptive (or pro-active) strike against these forces and their command and control centers within the federal building. When an aggressor force continually launches attacks from a particular base of operation, it is sound military strategy to take the fight to the enemy.

Additionally, borrowing a page from U.S. foreign policy, I decided to send a message to a government that was becoming increasingly hostile, by bombing a government building and the government employees within that building who represent that government. Bombing the Murrah Federal Building was morally and strategically equivalent to the U.S. hitting a government building in Serbia, Iraq, or other nations. (see enclosed) Based on observations of the policies of my own government, I viewed this action as an acceptable option. From this perspective, what occurred in Oklahoma City was no different than what Americans rain on the heads of others all the time, and subsequently, my mindset was and is one of clinical detachment. (The bombing of the Murrah building was not personal , no more than when Air Force, Army, Navy, or Marine personnel bomb or launch cruise missiles against government installations and their personnel.)

I hope that this clarification amply addresses your question.

Sincerely,

Timothy J. McVeigh

Part II:

Q: What's the deal with you expressing interest in having your execution televised?

A: First, it has nothing to do with seeking to be on camera - just look at how few on-camera interviews I have done. Rather, it is to make a point: In the U.S. we show, on television, re-enactments of real executions; mock-fictional executions (in movies); and real executions from foreign countries - yet we are ashamed to show our own justice system in action. It is ironic that we show foreign executions, but are afraid to show identical domestic laws being carried out.

Q: What were some other options considered besides bombing? Who would you have targeted?

A: I waited two years from "Waco" for non-violent "checks and balances" built into our system to correct the abuse of power we were seeing in federal actions against citizens. The Executive; Legislative; and Judicial branches not only concluded that the government did nothing wrong (leaving the door open for "Waco" to happen again), they actually gave awards and bonus pay to those agents involved, and conve

"Sir, I don't have a gun. Would you please don't shoot at me until my associates arrive?"

Yes, that's pretty much how it works. As others have noted, it works because guns are the exception rather than the rule. But another advantage: when a gun is in the picture, the beat cops back off and call the professional shooting-people cops, who're actually trained in the art of shooting people, as opposed to the American beat cops who will shoot kids with water pistols, black men reaching for their wallets, miss and shoot bystanders, shoot themselves in the foot, etc.

Ok we did this once 12 years ago and got DRM legal requirements non voted on. We can do this again.

For American Slashdotters:

1.) Tell the FCC what you think in polite terms and why it is a bad idea for business, consumers, and innovation?

2) Go to to your house of representatives website and use the zip code finder in the upper right hand corner. If your personal representative has a (R) in his or her name mention how you worry about the government overstepping its boundaries and ruining the largest emerging economic trend in history. Mention this FoxNews article, where Republicans are urging the FCC to bud out. If you work in the IT industry mention how you will be impacted and how unregulated internet led to the greatest economic expansion in history in the late 1990s.

If your representative has a (D) in his or her name, tell them how it will unfairly impact consumers and force unfair monopolies more power and ruin innovations with services like Netflix. Mention economic impacts as well. Use Netflix as an example of something that used to work until a few months ago and cite sources where L3 admitted it was being bottlenecked on purpose.

Also both parites are under the assumption that the internet worked just fine without net neutrality and we still had the largest explosion of GDP growth in history. So why change (Mega Telecom sales pitch). So inform them that they were regulated beforehand and this time it is different.

Remember it is not about adding new rules that were never needed. It is about preventing new rules that are not in your emails regardless of parties to counter the
FUD of the telecom lobbyists

3. Let the Obama know how you feel? Yes, he does read email and hand written letters every night. Perhaps seeing a large push in volume all angry about this may get his attention?
4. Let your senator know? Copy and paste the email you sent your congressman if he or she is of the same party. If not emphasize free market if he or she is a (r) and consumers and monopolies if he or she is a (D).

Be polite and factual as possible. Yes they are corrupt, but many are inept and get all their FUD from lobbyists. Mention we never had anything like this to counter the fud this is socialism to have the same lane and this is a fast enabler not something that slows regular traffice down yada yada. Mention your IT background too to build credibility.

If enough people whine it may delay or cancel the vote.

Oh shit, there's so much here that I could blow up on but leave it at this: You solve it by cutting it out, it's one problem and that's people who seem to think that because you work hard and have become successful that you should somehow miraculously give more back to society. What they forget is that all the while you were trying to establish yourself, you were giving, you were paying taxes. Taxes on property, on equipment, on vehicles on gas on fucking everything you buy just to make a living. Now we have a federal mandate on health insurance, another tax, of which my wonderfully fucked up and retarded elected officials have now driven the costs up from $650 / month to over $1100 a month with less coverage and less benefits. Another tax, another subsidy because some retards said we have have social and economic duty. Fuck that, we've given licensed ill-performing monopolies another reason to fuck us using another law that wasn't necessary adding more bureaucracy, more stupidity and more fucking retards in DC. The only reason it's palatable to most Americans is the giveaway in subsidies to buy those votes because we have to buy those votes! Just because you've worked hard and earned a bit more doesn't mean that you immediately owe more and that's what's wrong with the liberal fucksticks out there thinking that they somehow have the right to claim the fruits of your labors. I don't mind sharing but you aren't getting all of it, now get the fuck out of my kitchen and keep your hands out of my slice of the pie! Everybody should pay something, even those who are getting all the subsidies and big corporations should pay as well, we need an AMT for companies but still it doesn't mean that we should start targeting those who create the jobs, those who invest and build for the future all the while the governments of this country keep bigger, spewing more regulation and bullshit.

Oh and today there's a divine wind, it seems Alec Baldwin that left wingnut-fuckstick himself was arrested for riding his bike the wrong way. He later tweeted "New York City is a mismanaged carnival of stupidity that is desperate for revenue and anxious to criminalize behavior once thought benign." For once I agree with him but it's not just NYC, it's everywhere and the mentality that we should pay more into a system where the fat cats keep skating and government keeps growing is out of touch with reality. If you want to contribute more, that's your prerogative so don't let me stop you but I for one pay more than my fair share.

Yes, there was a super majority. It wasn't as effective as thought because Democrats kept electing Kennedy and Byrd in honor of their efforts to murder Blacks and women throughout their lives.

111th United States Congress

We have liberals trying to now get an amendment passed to repeal the first amendment, under the guise of campaign finance reform. Its even worded to keep it open ended so what is in the amendment will allow Congress to trample the first amendment without limit (Basically it repeals the first amendment with fancy wording)
Then we have idiots like you who are trying to blame others for it.

Terrorists have replaced communists. The laws you mention are old. One change enacted by the Patriot act was to track library check outs.

"The Patriot Act gives federal authorities virtually unchecked authority to search our customers' records and raises concern that government is monitoring what people are reading," said ABFFE President Chris Finan. "

And this:

Libraries in Santa Cruz, Calif., posted signs warning patrons that the FBI may access the records of what books they borrow.

From fox news

The wholesale tracking of all books is suspicious. What business does the govt have knowing who read the latest Dr. Seuss books? The patriot act should have allowed tracking only those books related to terrorism -- weapon making books, books about extreme violence, etc.

Taking away rights started with the Sherman's act being used against Standard Oil over 100 years ago now, the people didn't care, they always hated the wealthy, nobody cares when some wealthy people lose their rights and lose their property.

Taking away property continued with the introduction of the IRS, nobody cared, because the original concept was supposedly to remove duties and import and alcohol taxes and instead to implement an income tax on the top 2% of the earners, and the original highest tax was 7%. Nobody cared, because people hate the wealthy and they also hate paying taxes. In any case, normally people define 'wealthy' being anybody who has more money then they do (so you ask a guy that makes 20K, he sees anybody making 40K+ as wealthy, a 40K guy sees a 70K guy as wealthy, 70K guy sees 120K guy as wealthy, 120K guy sees 150K guy as wealthy, 150K guy sees 200K guy as wealthy, 200K guy sees 400K guy as wealthy, 400K guy sees 700K guy as wealthy, etc.etc.)

They introduced the Fed in 1913 (same year as the IRS), in 1917 they gave the Fed the power to print money to buy bad US gov't debt (bonds). So people didn't care, I mean who cares, the gov't did that rather than raising more taxes to grow, and the people that got screwed were those with more savings, and everybody hates the wealthy. Well, today the real rate of inflation is north of 10% and the prices are only slightly rising because the inflation is exported to those '3rd world nations' that end up working for worthless USD and exporting their actual goods they produce to the USA. (This will stop soon.)

They steal people's property all the time, they created entire classes of poor people by introducing the minimum wage to destroy competition by the blacks to the unions back in the thirties. Before that time the black unemployment was lower than white unemployment and many other statistics were going really well for the blacks. Well, then they started 'fighting poverty', picture time.

Taking away property is long standing government tradition. From 'anti-trust' to income taxes to printing money (inflation) to payroll taxes and SS and Medicare and FDIC and every department and exists, even the latest nonsense with the Nevada ranch, it's all one big happy Mafia family, that's what the government is.

You are the property and they are the owners. This is modern day democratically created and maintained slavery.

If someone works for Coca Cola and discovers/absconds with the formula, and then sells it to, e.g., Pepsi, then that person violates trade secrets laws by doing so.

Back in 2006, this actually happened. Instead of using the formula, Pepsi notified Coca Cola, and Coca Cola then reported it to the FBI. It makes sense that Pepsi would decline the offer, since in blind taste tests most people prefer Pepsi. Coke is successful because of their marketing and brand, not because of the taste of their "secret formula".

Its quite ironic that the content providers and Hollywood are soon to make more from online content than selling $20.00 DVD's. By the time you pay your ISP and content provider you might as well have paid top price for movies that you can rewatch for free. Then end of tge free internet his here with the Democrats. This outing of this private comment by Sterling courtesy of TMZ and the so called liberals in Hollywood in concert with the Democrats is as political as to what is hidden. Then there are the lies, "You can keep your health plan." Next comes the end of the free internet with Obama and Hollywood and Silicon Valleys FCC reforms. . Here is another thing that is hidden as Americans will be hit with a carbon tax directly or indirectly after the mid-terms with this activist administration. http://www.foxnews.com/politic...

that is of no consolation to the increasing numbers of losers who have been excluded from the wealth.

The sad thing is that anyone thinks that is true - a rising tide raises all boats, and the same is true of general prosperity.

The "poor" in America live like kings compared to the TRULY poor of Africa. Even in the poorest neighborhood of the poorest state if an entire class of 200 children was abducted there would be a tremendous hue and cry. In Africa, the poor are truly ignored instead of having people tripping over themselves as they do here claiming to want to help them.

I think you might be too generous with your skepticism.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg are all Jewish supporters of Obama who as C.S Lewis referred to as the classic do-gooders like we have come to expect from most left-wing liberals who want to rid the world of guns...upsized sodas and oil including the Keystone pipeline and a free internet. We also know that a very Jewish and post hippy Hollywood descriminated against Conservative Script writers for over 30 years. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion... What marks out the tyranny of the way these people operate is that which marks the left of politics and liberal donors. http://www.politico.com/story/... "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. C.S. Lewis" But essentialy these attacks on the freedom of the internet are about money and the operations of lobbyists, where....essentially Hollywood is behind the reforms to give away the last controls of the internet including the hire of the lobbyist Robert Holleyman. http://boingboing.net/2014/04/... After a public outcry this decision to give away the last controls of the internet looks to be on hold but now the FCC is stepping in and destroying a free internet after failing to take control of newsrooms. They now are talking about a censorship fast lane. http://act.boldprogressives.or... This after the FCC failed to put monitors and censors in every news room. http://foxnewsinsider.com/2014... Americans need to realise how militant the left is and how influential these Liberal donors are. If they supported the giving away of the internet so that they could attack piracy behind the scenes then they likewise support attacks on a free internet and create the tools to enliven political censorship with the Obama administration working behind the scenes to attack opponents. These FCC reforms are part of this...moving into this direction. We see how the Obama administration has used the federal beauracracy to attack opponents. Who is to say that this new FCC proposal for a fast lane will not use information supply with deals behind the scenes to do the same and attack political opponents. Obama is always meeting behind closed doors with the media or Silicon Valley giants. It will happen and it is a disgrace as Google has already proved itself to be left in politics. They are all do-gooder tyrants where we would be better off under robber barons. What is Google and Facebook getting out of this new FCC proposal? What we know for sure is that the left wing silicon valley giants cannot be trusted along with the FCC. They will use the do-gooder justifications to fight against piracy to take away a free internet and you can take that to the bank. Read the quote from C.S Lewis again. If Hollywood can have this much clout....discriminate against conservative scriptwriters for so long and work together with Obama to take away a free internet then all should be concerned. This is an activity of so called do-gooders that believe they have the authority to strip all of us of our internet freedoms. We all need to stand up to these secular liberals and secular Jewish do-gooders that have too much political clout in America.

I assume you're intelligent enough to read and interpret a broadcast schedule?

Have you been observant enough to see the problems at MSNBC and CNN?

In its State of the News Media: An Annual Report on American Journalism, Pew details, among other interesting tidbits the percentages of news reporting and opinion on the three biggest cable news channels. According to the study, the breakdown of MSNBC shows that a whopping 85 percent of its airtime is taken up with opinion, compared to 55 percent of the time on Fox and 45 percent of CNN’s air. -- Why Liberals Still Detest Fox News
 

Spending 2 minutes reading Feinstein's Wiki page discounts any possible claim you have of "extraordinary". You could not possibly be claiming that everything I stated was dependent on Feinstein explicitly stating one sentence in one way, because that would be idiocy.

Here are One, two, three references, all of politicians calling for the death of Snowden (and one of those contains 6 references).

I can not find the exact quote from Feinstein either, but this is not uncommon nor does it make my statement wrong. Feinstein called Snowden a traitor, which has a punishment of the death penalty. If Feinstein was not a supporter of the death penalty I may cut some slack. Her Wiki page speaks for her very well.

Feinstein is a supporter of capital punishment.

Even assuming she did not state "kill him" directly, there is a very obvious indirect statement by her calling him a traitor (on numerous occasions).

Congress needs to establish a commission of inquiry to help us identify people who don't agree with gay marriage, so they can be outed and ostracized. You know the routine: "Are you, or have you ever been, a conservative/orthodox/fundamentalist Christian, Muslim, or Jew?"

As we find these scumbags, we can work to deny them the right to start businesses in our cities like Rahm Emmanuel did in Chicago. Some of them are artisans: we can attempt to commission artistic works in conflict with their beliefs, and sue them into oblivion when they refuse. We can pressure them to resign from their jobs.

As recent Obama voters, it's not like we're huge hypocrites or anything. Please understand that the Democratic party is about democracy -- that's why we rejoice that California's popularly-voted Proposition 8 was overturned by a few activist judges. And we're about tolerance -- that's why we're trying to drive Christians, Muslims, and Jews out of public life by destroying their ability to hold jobs or participate in commerce.

I am amused by AGW Apparatchiks. Because that's what AGW is, a political movement, not science and not religion.

It seeks to control what people drive, where they drive, when they drive, where they live, what they use to fuel the vehicles, heat their homes, cool their homes, etc. etc. etc. Using these controls, they want to move on to wealth distribution because they can argue that wealthier people produce more C02 (But they ignore Algore and China because they are politically correct)

And it has the stink of totalitarianism to it. Some what to send "deniers" to jail

The very fact they use "denier" stinks of political condemnation by the Global Warming Nazis.

Carbon taxes seek to punish industries that have broken no laws and has put people out of work.

And the science of it is laughable. Computer models drive all the predictions of doom and gloom. Funny thing is, they can't predict the past and they certainly haven't predicted the future...at least the last 17 years. So they move the goal posts. First, it was 5 years doesn't show no warming, that takes 10 years. Then after ten years, it was 15. After 15, It's now...what? Who knows? If they were smart, they'd go for 100, just to be safe.

Global Warming is to Science what Piers Anthony is to Journalism; a side show of freaks and grant seekers.

No it is because it is a shill story planted by competitors, that is why there is no proof.

By the way, where are the "western forces" invading Ukraine? If you want to try playing the "reciprocal game," there should be Western military forces moving into Ukraine against the will of the Ukrainian government.

I haven't heard about the US Marines, British airborne, or German panzer divisions showing up. Do you have any news? Or is it all just Russian military forces moving into Ukrainian territory?

Even Fox News more or less debunked this bit of conspiracy baiting.

Try all you want, the term was never used the way you're insisting it was.

Gee, if only there was some way of proving otherwise. Like maybe I can look at old news articles from years ago?

http://usatoday30.usatoday.com... :

About three years ago, Brandy Johnson cut the cord. "We had a landline and had some trouble with it," she said. After that, she and her husband decided to make the jump to wireless. [..] As pay phones and landlines disappear, we might be moving toward a wireless future. [..] While some people still use their landlines for their Internet access, "dial-up is antiquated," one of his co-workers said in the background.

http://www.bankrate.com/brm/ne... :

Ready to cut the cord? While it's clear that snipping your landline could save you some serious cash, it's not for everyone. [..] Hanging on to your solo landline solely for the Internet connection? Be sure to weigh the costs of other Internet options, such as cable modems.

http://the.honoluluadvertiser.... :

The decision by federal regulators to let consumers move their home number to a mobile phone represented a defeat for carriers concerned about losing more lines. [..] "After today it's easier than ever to cut the cord," FCC Chairman Michael Powell said in a statement. [..] Verizon also said canceling a landline may also disable alarm reporting services, TiVo, satellite TV, cable pay-per-view and Internet access that depends on a phone line, including dial-up and DSL access.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/2... :

In fact, an estimated 2 to 3 million consumers are expected to drop their landlines over the next 18 to 24 months [..] People who rely mostly on cell phones cite cost and convenience as the main motivation for cutting the cord. [..] "If I was going online with a dial-up, then I would have a landline, but since they have the cable connection and the wireless connections, that negates the reason for having a landline," she added. Others are abandoning once fancy features on their landlines and maintaining the line's bare bones service.

Those are clear demarcations between people "cutting the cord" and keeping a landline around for Internet. How about that, a term that makes sense?

This is what happens when you allow the Jewish menace to infiltrate your signals intelligence directorates. The Jews and crypto-Jews have allegiance to only one thing -- Israel. Israel is the bottom of the "rabbit-hole," where information is passed unredacted for selective dissemination to further the interests of only Israel (made to appear as if they are the interests of their allies sent out of compassionate concern).

Look, you liberal wankers lay every flood, tornado and hurricane at the feet of Global Warming, so take your "a few ice storms don't prove man-made global warming isn't happening" and shove it.

Given that the current cold trend is outside 95% of global warming models, what would be sufficient to invalidate AGW as a theory?

The water treatment plant for your city? It won't be moving anytime soon, including the roads, tanks, fences, and ground cover.

The problem with saying this is that the locations of water treatment plants are already on Google maps, and many other map providers which hand their data out for anyone who wants it. Not only that, but the resolution is good down to a few feet(ie, you can see cars on a road. cars are only a few feet wide). The question then becomes: what could they possibly see if they could see all the way down to 25cm? The only thing I can think of would be things like bollards, and anyone who's looking to infiltrate a secure area can assume bollards, spike strips, fences, etc are going to be used.

The Iranian commander thing is bs as well. Iran has been making spurious claims for years. At one point, they claimed they had a sustained military presence outside of the US in the Atlantic - as if to say they can strike mainland USA at any moment. In fact, while googling just now, I learned they're sending a couple of destroyers to 'prove a point'. Literally two ships. I don't know what point they're trying to prove. The only thing I can think of that could possibly come from Iran's empty threats is the start of WWIII. The USA has a sustained military presence the world over, which includes Iran's neighborhood and North Korea. If a country like Iran made real threats against the USA mainland, there would be hell to pay.

Most Christians believe in evolution. Even the fundamentalist ones.

And 77% of Americans self-identify as Christian, with approximately 60% of them being classified as "evangelicals, fundamentalists and pentecostals".

If we start with the assumption that the only Americans who don't believe in evolution are part of that 60% of 77%, we can not with certainly say that "even the fundamentalist ones" mostly believe in evolution. Not if you back into Fox News' authoritative assertion of "1/3 of Americans don't believe in evolution".

I can't think of another group that collectively tends to deny evolution, but I might be missing something.

Further, I would bet that the subset of people who don't believe in evolution is entirely within the subset who don't believe in anthropogenic climate change.

What do you think? Do you think there is anyone who does not believe in evolution and does believe in climate change? I can't imagine it.

The middle class got screwed and they generated the numbers when it came to private flying, hence the massive drop. The top 1% want 99% poor, no middle class because the middle class are the power and the greatest threat to the psychopathic dominance of the 1%, who are conspiring to starve the middle class out of existence and have done so for the last thirty years.

Unfortunately I have other demands on my time at the moment so all I have time for is to throw this out. I might come back to this later.

MICHAEL REAGAN: Ronald Reagan -- More of a Friend to Blacks Than Obama?

African-American columnist Joseph Perkins has studied the effects of Reaganomics on black America. He found that, after the Reagan tax cuts gained traction, African-American unemployment fell from 19.5 percent in 1983 to 11.4 percent in 1989. Black-owned businesses saw income rise from $12.4 billion in 1982 to $18.1 billion in 1987—an annual average growth rate of 7.9 percent. The black middle class expanded by one-third during the Reagan years, from 3.6 million to 4.8 million.

I doubt that is being repeated today.

Your ideas about "the 1%" are pretty much nonsense. A prosperous economy creates more opportunity for everyone.

They HATE government regulations...until they're conspiring with Big Business to suppress competition. Interesting note, yesterday one of the silliest laws in the history of our country was repealed. It banned Southwest Airlines from flying outside of Texas from Dallas-Fort Worth. The law was passed to suppress Southwest Airlines when they first started out and protect existing airlines.

Anecdotal evidence regarding one guy who's a known racist, has been investigated for abuse of power, and is, generally speaking, a massive attention whore, is not what I would consider evidence of a systemic issue involving public records of persons working as LEOs.

Actually, never mind the other stuff - all the attention whoring is enough to get anybody on a whackjob's radar.

Yeah, You have enough "Ghetto Trash" in Michigan. Folks from Mississippi are down to earth people and this kind of comment demeans the discussion here. Beside they just caught up with the mom there who hacked her son up in Michigan. Did she come from Mississippi?

And I thought you were so nice and polite.

Not everyone in Canada is polite, and the Canadian government has its own security concerns of many types.

He deserves a ticker tape parade and to be listed among the great patriots who sacrificed personal safety and comfort in the name of liberty.

I've been wondering what the view of the Canadian left would be. I think we can probably agree that he will become known as a great Russian patriot although I didn't realize that Russia was lacking in creature comforts. Well, let's hope he didn't teach the next cell how to avoid detection.

...and you were doing so well this week....

I burned you so bad you had to move goalposts to prove your point?

Pat Tillman

I'm sure I could find the rest, but informing ignorant people like you is tiring.
And MSNBC still hasn't done a story on the administration's lies to cover up Bengazi.

Bias exists in the media, but I guess you are too stupid to see the real bias and have to make up your own.

Story
Now you can point to me the MSNBC story showing the coverup of Bengazi, or the IRS targeting of citizens because of political views.

Didn't think so. Your ignorance shows that your view of media bias doesn't exist, and where it does exist you pretend it doesn't.
