Thank you and you are welcome! I agree...

Prophetic last words there. This man knows.

[Freedomlover911]

Thanks for reminding me. I had forgotten about that part. Yes, very prophetic indeed.

I don't know about his political and/or ideological views, but he gives me the impression that electing him as US President would be a very refreshing thing to do. Being a Brig. General and one who speaks out the way he did regarding the OKC bombing, we might have a real chance of doing some serious house cleansing in Washington.

He's a Brig. General with a good sense of humour and serious common sense. It's fun listening to him, the way he present his analysis while including fitting humour; mockery of the civilian bureaucrats of federal and Okla. state govts. Definitely a great asset to have on The People's side!

Great content. Terrible graphics.

This deserves to be redone as a good Power Point slide presentation.

Oklahoma,9/11, ... .What is next in the series of progression?

[Yerizzo]

Ok, kenfo0, so more TNT was used in the Beirut bombing plus the truck was under the building and it doesn't even look as damaged as the OKC bombing which used less TNT and the truck was outside? Yeah, ok, that makes sense, bomb expert.

[TheAutumnExpresso]

Funny how he said that 'you will see more terrorist activities in order for them to disarm the american people' in 1998 and then 3 years later (9/11/2001) it did. He was right. Wish I had heard this back then.

@captainspaulding17 First understanding that 9/11 & OK City were media protected, covert operations equating to discovering one has cancer may apply until one realizes that the tip of the iceberg hasn't even been scratched. Who threatened Air Force 1 on 9/11and who sent the anthrax letters. What do you suppose their agenda will be for US?

The explosive mechanism in the 1983 Beirut bombing was a gas-enhanced device, probably consisting of bottled propane, butane, or acetylene, placed in proximity to a conventional explosive such as primacord. This device acted very similarly to a fuel-air or thermobaric weapon, explaining the large blast and damage.
