The April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City remains the largest terrorist act on American soil by domestic terrorists. The administration of President Bill Clinton and its Deep State media allies used this event to demonize and terrorize all opposition to the expanding police state agenda, labeling all opposition as “anti-government,” “extremist,” and “ideational co-conspirators” with Timothy McVeigh.
As a result, most conservative politicians and virtually all of the conservative media refused to touch the issue. The New American was virtually alone among national media organizations in investigating the many problematical aspects of the official OKC bombing narrative and credibly challenging it by exposing coverups and giving voice to witnesses and victims who had been silenced by government intimidation.
William F. Jasper, senior editor of The New American, served as our lead investigator on the bombing. He carried out a phenomenally detailed multi-year investigation, including extensive analysis by forensic specialists, and more interviews of survivors, witnesses, and experts than conducted by any other journalist. The History Channel featured Mr. Jasper as the main expert in its 2006 program on the Oklahoma City Bombing.
The September 11th terrorist attacks required extensive planning. Our intelligence services knew enough to have responded better. John Philip Walker Lindh, better known as the “American Taliban,” is accused of conspiring with Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network to kill American citizens. According to the federal criminal complaint, Lindh’s role in the terrorist conspiracy “began in …
Evidence links the OKC bombing to Middle Eastern terrorists, and the failure of officials to examine this evidence in 1995 may have set the stage for the September 11th attacks. The Black Tuesday terror attacks on America have prompted some journalists to take a look at the abundant evidence of Middle Eastern terrorist involvement in …

Glenn and Kathy Wilburn recognized very early on that there was something terribly wrong with the federal investigation into the terrorist attack that took the lives of their grandsons Chase and Colton. Astounded and angered at the government’s refusal to follow some of the most important leads and its repeated cover-up of important evidence and …
In trying to pin the blame for the bombing solely on despicable mass-murderer Timothy McVeigh, federal officials have ignored and covered up evidence of a wider conspiracy. Readers of The New American are familiar with many of the charges leveled by Jannie Coverdale, Kathy Wilburn, Jane Graham, and others personally affected by the Oklahoma City …
The McVeigh execution supposedly brings “closure” to those who survived or lost loved ones in the Oklahoma City bombing. But what those survivors and victims really want is justice. The June 11th execution of Timothy McVeigh closed the book on the Oklahoma City bombing for many Americans. But for many others, including some of those …
The New American has been charging cover-up in the Oklahoma City bombing case for six years. Now some FBI agents close to that investigation are making similar charges. Attorney General John Ashcroft has received near-universal acclaim from commentators and politicians for his May 11th decision to delay Timothy McVeigh’s execution and conduct a comprehensive probe …
A new book about Timothy McVeigh claims to be the definitive study of the Oklahoma City bombing. In reality, it is merely a rehash of the old Justice Department “lone wolf” scenario. American Terrorist : Timothy McVeigh & the Oklahoma City Bombing, by Lou Michel and Dan Herbeck, New York, N.Y.: Regan Books, 2001, 426 …
The long-awaited report of the Oklahoma County Grand Jury, released on December 30th, was undoubtedly cause for wild celebration and early New Year’s merriment at the Clinton White House, Janet Reno’s Justice Department, and Louis Freeh’s FBI. The grand jury, which had been empaneled in June 1997 to investigate the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, held …
American neo-Nazis linking up with Hamas, Hezbollah, the PLO, and other Middle Eastern terrorist groups backed by Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Libya? A lot of people seem to have a hard time imagining such a union. They wouldn’t if they were familiar with the sordid history and geo-politics of international terrorism. The Black International, a …
In October 1995, six months after the deadliest terrorist attack ever in America, a mild-mannered professor and director of an Islamic think tank in Tampa, Florida left the United States to take a more exalted job in Syria — as maximum leader of Islamic Jihad, one of the world’s most violent and notorious terrorist groups. …
The scenes of death and carnage emanating from the two bomb-ravaged U.S. embassies in Africa were wearily familiar. In the news coverage and analysis of the simultaneous August 7th terrorist attacks on the embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, there were the inevitable comparisons to past lethal attacks: the U.S. Embassy and …
Startling new eyewitness testimony and official communiqués sent shortly after the bombing of the Murrah Building bring an important fresh dimension to one of the most troubling aspects of the investigation into the terrorist attack in Oklahoma City. And previously suppressed eyewitness reports from bombing survivors who claim to have seen Timothy McVeigh and other …
David Kochendorfer was on his way to an insurance appointment and waiting at a stop light when the bomb went off. It was 9:02 a.m. “I looked up and saw this big black plume of smoke,” he recalls. “And my first impression by the black smoke was that it was probably a [fuel] tank or …
Testimonies Conflict With Government Story The Oklahoma County Grand Jury convened on June 30th to begin its investigation of the April 19, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. State Representative Charles Key, who had led the citizens’ campaign for the inquest because of suspicions of a cover-up by federal authorities, was one …
To a tight circle of federal law enforcement officials she was known as Confidential Informant 53270-183, or more commonly, CI-183. To her “comrades” in the neo-Nazi and “Christian Identity” movements — whom the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) and FBI had asked her to infiltrate and surveil — she was known by the noms …
Talk about overkill! For the past year and a half, the powers that be in Oklahoma political and media circles have ganged up with federal authorities in a desperate attempt to stop the effort of State Representative Charles Key to have a county grand jury look into the Oklahoma City bombing. Governor Frank Keating, U.S. …
“Guilty.” Eleven times the packed courtroom heard U.S. Judge Richard Matsch read the verdict, once after reading each of the 11 counts in United States of America v. Timothy James McVeigh. Conspiracy, use of a weapon of mass destruction and destruction by explosive: Guilty. Eight counts of murder of federal law enforcement officers: Guilty. The federal …
Shortly after the deadly explosion rocked Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, reports surfaced of seismograms from two separate seismic stations which appeared to offer scientific proof that the devastated Alfred P. Murrah Building had been the victim of not one, but two or more bombs. The two seismograms were recorded at the Omniplex Science …
Two years after America’s “deadliest terrorist attack” The trial of Timothy McVeigh, scheduled to begin March 31st in Denver, may not match in duration or spectacle the interminable O.J. Simpson trials, but it is certain to cost a great deal more and cast a much larger and more ominous shadow. A trial date has not …
A new study analyzing explosive tests conducted by the U.S. Air Force against a reinforced concrete structure may provide an important key to understanding the April 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, which took 168 lives. The report, based on testing data and photographs supplied by the Armament Directorate, Wright …
Imagine a rustic, rural redoubt populated by well-armed white separatists who regularly play host to some of the most virulent racist leaders of the Aryan Nations, Ku Klux Klan, and White Aryan Resistance. Imagine further that this secluded commune serves as a Butch Cassidy “Hole in the Wall” hideout for a notorious gang of Aryan …
After nearly two years of adamant denials that any federal agencies had even the slightest inkling of any plot to blow up the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, federal prosecutors have been dealt a stunning blow. Just weeks before the scheduled March 31st start of the trial of bombing suspect Timothy McVeigh, a …
Will Timothy McVeigh, like O.J. Simpson, walk out of court a free man? Will the perpetrators of “the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil,” like the slayer of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, get away with murder? If so, it will be thanks to “incompetence” and “stupidity” so extreme on the part of federal …
For the past two years, Oklahoma State Representative Charles Key, former grand juror Hoppy Heidelberg, Glenn and Cathy Wilburn, and a great many other Oklahomans have called attention to the many credible eyewitnesses who say they saw Timothy McVeigh with a man answering the description of John Doe No. 2, or with other men, on …
The beaming faces of Aaron and Elijah Coverdale shine from a profusion of photographs and paintings that adorn the walls and shelves of their grandmother’s apartment, scarcely a hundred yards from the Alfred P. Murrah Building where their young lives were taken. Jannie Coverdale cherishes the paintings which artists have sent her of her beautiful …
Telephone records, which frequently provide strong circumstantial evidence in criminal investigations, are certain to figure prominently in the prosecution of primary Oklahoma City bombing suspects Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, as well as of co-defendant Michael Fortier, who was indicted on lesser charges after turning state’s witness last year. According to federal prosecutors, the phone …
Probing the McVeigh/Neo-Nazi connection What connection does a 36-year-old former German soldier from one of Germany’s most prominent families have to the Oklahoma City bombing? What was the extent of his association with Timothy McVeigh? Was he an agent/informant in a joint operation of German and U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies? What was the …
One of the earliest calls placed by The New American in our investigation into the Oklahoma City bombing was to Brigadier General Benton K. Partin (USAF, retired). As one of the world’s foremost experts in both the theoretical and practical applications of explosives technology, General Partin possesses virtually unparalleled qualifications to authoritatively evaluate the public-source information …
In its 11-count indictment handed down on August 10, 1995, the fed eral grand jury in Oklahoma City charged that Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols “did knowingly, intentionally, willfully and maliciously conspire, combine and agree together and with others unknown to the Grand Jury to use a weapon of mass destruction É resulting in death, grievous bodily …
Did agents of the FBI, ATF, DEA, Marshals Service, or other federal agencies have foreknowledge of a plot to blow up the Murrah Building? If so, was it acquired by wiretaps or other technical means? Were we warned by foreign intelligence sources? Or did these or other federal agencies have informants or agents actually operating …
It was after 10:00 p.m. on February 29th when this reporter rolled into Oklahoma Stallion Station, the thoroughbred stud ranch of Hoppy Heidelberg south of Oklahoma City. It had not been an easy day for Mr. Heidelberg; a few hours earlier a kick from an uncooperative mare had dislocated his right shoulder, leaving his arm …
Oklahoma bombing suspect Timothy McVeigh has been variously described in news accounts as “robotic,” “weird,” “brooding,” “distant,” “right-wing,” “reclusive,” “racist,” and “fanatic.” The first — and last — glimpse most of us got of the accused mass murderer occurred when the thin, stone-faced, 27-year-old suspect was escorted from the steps of Oklahoma’s Noble County Courthouse …
Powerful evidence exists that federal agents were not surprised by OKC blast One of the most persistent and vexing questions to arise in the immediate aftermath of the April 19th terrorist bombing in Oklahoma City concerns the matter of prior knowledge: Did agents and agencies of the federal government know about the bomb plot ahead …
A mysterious severed leg in a military boot. Television headline stories of a new witness who saw Timothy McVeigh driving into the Murrah Building parking structure minutes before the blast. A federal informant who claims he warned of impending bombings of federal buildings weeks before the deadly Oklahoma City terrorist act. The lead FBI official …
The April 19th bombing that took the lives of 168 men, women, and children in Oklahoma City stunned the nation and the world, both with its explosive magnitude and its senseless, murderous intensity. it also left in its wake many troubling questions concerning contradictory “facts” in the case, conflicting reports, wild rumors, bungled investigations, destruction …
On June 1st, the U.S. Geological Survey issued a press release entitled “Seismic Records Support One-Blast Theory in Oklahoma City Bombing.” The release began with the following text: The bomb that destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City produced a train of conventional seismic waves, according to interpretations by scientists with the U.S. …
One of the initial objections to any double explosion or multiple explosion scenario for the Murrah Building bombing centered on the logical observation that any significant explosions subsequent to the track bomb detonation — especially if delayed by several seconds, as some were inferring from seismic records — would certainly have been heard by many …
Mysteries in Oklahoma City bombing begin to unravel Since his critical analysis of the Oklahoma City bombing appeared in the June 26th issue of The New American (“OKC Bombing: Expert Analysis”), Brigadier General Benton K. Partin (USAF, Ret.) has been a busy man. Besides being interviewed on dozens of radio and television programs, he has traveled …
Shortly after the Oklahoma City bombing The New American received a fax of a seismogram purporting to be the seismic recording of the blast as recorded on an Oklahoma Geological Survey seismometer. The seismogram was of particular interest because it seemed to indicate that there were two explosions of similar magnitude just seconds apart on the …
