*LITERALLY*, A COVER-UP

Tom Valentine's guest on *Radio Free America* on Friday, June 30, 
1995 was David Hall, formerly head of KPOC-TV in Ponca City, 
Oklahoma and now devoting his time to investigating the April 19, 
1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.

Why the delay in trial? Why has the prosecution asked for more 
time? "We thought it was 'cut and dry'," says Valentine. "Well it 
*isn't* 'cut and dry'. There's a lot of things in the picture of 
the Oklahoma bombing that don't get out."

Amen to that. Why in the name of God is the American media 
devoting so much of their attention to the less relevant O.J. 
Simpson trial? Why aren't our media "watchdogs" baying at the 
heels of the official investigators and demanding answers?

Thankfully, some, like *Radio Free America*, Sherman Skolnick, 
Debra von Trapp, Ted Gunderson, and *The Spotlight* are, indeed, 
pursuing the truth on this matter. Yes, they disagree in some 
areas -- but they, unlike many "professional" journalists, are at 
least asking the tough questions.

And now, due to an apparently widespread distrust of the federal 
investigators by a majority of Oklahomans, it appears that the 
state of Oklahoma will soon be mounting their own, private 
investigation into the tragedy. A bill, soon to be introduced 
into the Oklahoma legislature, asks "that a private 
investigation, outside of the federal government, get involved -- 
basically, state supported -- and investigate the bombing... 
They're not satisfied at all with what the FBI is telling the 
public and is telling them," states Hall.

And, it now appears that, indeed, there will soon be a separate 
state investigation. This is confirmed by Debra von Trapp, in an 
interview by Conspiracy Nation (See CN 5.37):

  Stay tuned for Edye's father and the victims of Oklahoma being 
  able to publicly announce that they have been empaneled, along 
  with some state senators, to investigate this bombing and have 
  subpoena power to do so. And that should be the next big step 
  that we can make in the progress of getting to the heart of 
  what actually happened here, when they have the ability to 
  subpoena myself and Ted Gunderson to speak publicly, unedited, 
  on-record, in front of the citizens of Oklahoma and tell them 
  what we know.

Hall also has found out that there was apparently no urgent need 
that the Murrah Building be demolished so soon after the tragic 
event of April 19th. An architect who had inspected the building 
soon after the bombing had said there was no immediate danger. 
But, according to Hall's information, this architect was later 
"persuaded" to change his opinion.

The building was subsequently demolished, *then*, the rubble 
itself was hauled away and buried! Literally, a cover-up!

How many blasts were there on April 19th? According to Hall, 
there were two:

  TOM VALENTINE: You have established that there were *two* 
  blasts.

  DAVID HALL: Without a doubt. Without a doubt.


So why aren't we hearing this from Dan Rather? Why are they not 
championing the truth on this one? Doesn't CBS News care about 
the people of Oklahoma?

How about this one? (Somebody wake up the "news" team at CBS.) 
"Now the FBI has said that that bomb was put together north of 
Harrington, at a lake," notes Hall. "And that virtually would not 
work. Scientists that deal in this thing know all about it. And 
that bomb would get all of 5 or 10 miles in these barrels, mixed 
and everything. The fertilizer itself would settle to the bottom, 
much like what water and oil does, and you would have no ignition 
at all when you tried to set it off. It just can't stand the 
vibration, because it separates."

So who *did* bomb the Murrah Building? Hall seems to think it was 
an ATF "sting" operation gone wrong:

  TOM VALENTINE: Your thesis has been all along that this is a 
  sting operation that went awry.

  DAVID HALL: That's right. And we still believe that, and 
  believe that even more today.

  I don't believe, Tom, that the ATF wired the building and blew 
  it up. I do not believe that. I have not been able to support 
  that theory. I *do* believe that they knew that there was going 
  to be a possible bomb threat to the building, because they had 
  set it up themselves, with their informants and different 
  people they were working with. And somebody really slipped it 
  to 'em.
