"The uninitiated often struggle with the differences between the Christian
Identity movement and the paganist neo-Nazis such as the Aryan Nations, as
they share a virulent racism and antisemitism and have been known to
cooperate on paramilitary ventures. The principal difference between the two
is that unlike the neo-Nazis (who worship Odin, Thor and miscellaneous
biker- gods but have no limiting illusions about morality or charity),
Christian Identity folks think racism and antisemitism is OK because God and
Jesus told `em so."

If you were going to commit a terrorist act for political purposes, you would
need a) someone to commit the act, and b) someone to blame it on. People who
want to draw attention to their cause often commit acts of terrorism, and then
announce their own responsibility. But acts of violence are just as frequently
fomented to discredit someone else. When governments commit terrorist acts, they
typically blame anti-government groups or political opponents.
Which brings us to the "neo-Nazi" and "White Supremacy" connections to the
Oklahoma City bombing. Certainly many of the people associated with the bombing
hung out with, or were part of, religious or political enclaves who professed
goals of white racial purity and of ridding the U.S. of blacks and Jews. But it
is becoming increasingly hard to find any involvement in the bombing itself by
"neo-Nazi" fellow travelers who were not in fact government agents or
informants.
Moreover, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is reportedly
threatening to revoke the licenses of some news organizations it regulates who
report these government ties. This in itself makes the bombing of the Murrah
Federal Building in Oklahoma City look increasingly like a political act.
President William Jefferson Clinton attributed the revival of his popularity
after the 1994 election debacle to the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Murrah
Federal Building in OKC. ("Relaxing on Air Force One after the election, Bill
Clinton told reporters it was the Oklahoma bombing that proved the turning point
in his political fortunes."--Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, "Bomb that Gave Clinton
Victory Could Still Return to Haunt Him," London Sunday Telegraph, Nov.
10, 1996.) The bombing supposedly discredited "right- wing" anti-government and
anti-Clinton critics, talk radio hosts, and what- not.
But how a government-inspired mass murder of 168 American citizens is
supposed to discredit anti-government sentiment is not clear. Moreover, it is
probable that current FCC censorship threats are being directed from the White
House and the Justice Department. (You should let the FCC know of what you think
of its attempt to control the flow of news. Read them the text of the First
Amendment. FCC contact information is given below.)
Consider the connections between assorted government informants with strange
racial beliefs, the Oklahoma City bombing, and a string of mid- Western bank
robberies. Let's begin with
So, we have three ATF snitches involved in planning the bombing, one Secret
Service snitch robbing banks, and many witnesses contradicting the official
story that McVeigh acted alone with a little help from Terry Nichols. Meanwhile
the FBI now denies there was a John Doe #2, while it avoids interviewing any of
these embarrassing witnesses. But the White House and Justice Department, and
now the FCC, find time to pressure news organizations not to report the story.
And, of course, no one wants to talk about those exposives placed on the columns
of the Murray Building as pointed out by General Benton K. Partin and in the
secret Pentagon report.
What do you think is going on?
Call or fax the following FCC Commissioners and ask them if it is true they
are threatening to pull the plug on stations who report the facts on government
connections to the Oklahoma City bombing (or any other government connections to
criminal activity). Ask them if they believe in the First Admendment. (The FCC,
of course, "never" engages in "censorship": it finds some "other" reason to give
a TV studio or radio station a hard time.) You can view pictures, biographies,
and speeches of the Commissioners on the Web at
http://www.fcc.gov/commissioners.html.
REED HUNDT was named FCC Chairman by Bill Clinton and sworn
in by Al Gore. His term expires June 30, 1998. He went to Yale Law School
(1974). His biography says "Chairman Hundt is the first Chairman to bring FCC
operations into the communications age" (which makes one wonder what the FCC was
supposed to have done before the communications age). But never mind that. He
received the "Public Service Award to Children" for being a "staunch advocate
for children." Ask him if that includes the 19 children killed at the OKC
bombing. Phone: 202-418-1000.
JAMES QUELLO's commission was due to expire July 31, 1996,
but apparently he was reappointed. He has written about the "FCC's Regulatory
Overkill" in the Wall Street Journal. Phone 202- 418-2000.
SUSAN NESS has a law degree from Boston College Law School
and an MBA from Wharton. She invites you "to share your own perspectives with
me". Phone 202-418-2100. Fax 202-418-2821.
RACHELLE CHONG is the only Republican Commissioner. She is a
Star Trek fan and a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, and says
she enjoys surfing the Internet. Phone: 202-418-2200. Fax: 202-418- 2820. Email:
