Robert Matthews and The Order
The FBI revealed during their investigation into the CSA that several members left in 1983 to form a new and even more violent terrorist group called The Order. The FBI also documented that The Order was a violent offshoot of Richard Butler’s Hayden Lake, Idaho based Aryan Nations (Church of Jesus Christ Christian). But, what the FBI failed to document was that Randall Rader, and others, left the CSA to establish The Order with Robert Mathews who was its leader, and that Mathews was a Mormon radical with strong ties to Dan Gayman’s Church of Israel, who was also Mormon. For some reason this fact was suppressed, and it seems that the FBI only revealed collusion among groups or individuals that couldn’t easily be traced back to or directly linked to other Mormons or Mormon radicals. After leaving the CSA in 1983 Rader returned to Butler’s Aryan Nations compound and began forming the even more violent The Order with Mathews. Prior to founding The Order, Matthews belonged to the John Birch Society, which only seemed to whet his appetite for right-wing extremism. Apparently, it wasn’t radical enough for his taste because he subsequently joined Dr. William Pierce’s National Alliance where he served as Director of recruiting. Before that, he founded the Sons of Liberty in Phoenix, AZ, whose ranks were filled with the fellow radical Mormons he grew-up with in Phoenix, AZ. Along the way, Mathews also established strong affiliations with Richard Butler’s Aryan Nations/Church of Jesus Christ Christian, the CSA and Dan Gayman’s Church of Israel. Not only were all of these groups heavily steeped in Mormon fundamentalism and heavily populated with Mormon fundamentalists, Mathews was Mormon, Ellison and Noble who founded the CSA were Mormons and Gayman was Mormon. Having already been indoctrinated with radical Mormon theology himself from childhood, Mathews simply seems to have found a higher calling in Mormon prophesies steeped in militarism, anarchy and Mormon lore about “conquering” America and converting her into a “Mormon Kingdom of Zion”.
The Order used Dr. William Pierce’s The Turner Diaries (head of the National Alliance) as its bible, and integrated sophisticated “leaderless resistance” or “phantom cell” resistance strategies that were becoming the hallmark of the next-gen “Identity” groups that Butler and Gayman were seeding. The Order’s theology included the notion that the United States was controlled by a secret cadre that was a part of “The Jewish Conspiracy”, and therefore the Government of the United States was illegitimate, corrupt and needed to be overthrown. Because of this, members of The Order referred to the United States as the ZOG, which is an acronym for Zionist Occupied Government. The group also called itself the Bruder-Schweigen, or “Secret Brotherhood” and was modeled on the fictional terrorist group in Pierce’s novel, The Turner Diaries. Besides overthrowing the United States Government with military force, its primary mission included establishing an Aryan homeland in the northwest, which The Order referred to as the “Northwest Territorial Imperative”. The Northwest Territorial Imperative would ban Jews, Christians and non-Whites. Pierce’s National Alliance was just another anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, anti-American, racist neo-Nazi group that espoused Mormon fundamentalism under the guise of being a “Christian Identity” group. However, the National Alliance was also unique in that it was headed up by Dr. William Pierce who held a Ph.D. in physics and who had been the publicist for George Lincoln Rockwell’s American Nazi Party (ANP) prior to founding his own National Alliance. Of course, Pierce’s greatest claim to fame is authoring The Turner Diaries, which is today one of the “bibles” of today’s “Christian Identity” movement. Coincidentally, a copy of The Turner Diaries was found on Timothy McVeigh (Catholic) after he was stopped and arrested just after the Oklahoma City bombing.
Colonel James “Bo” Gritz, documented the following information about Dan Gayman’s connections to The Order on his website at www.gaymangate.com. According to Gritz who was Mormon and a member of Dan Gayman’s Church of Israel, Dan Gayman was very close to The Order. In fact, Gritz claims Gayman was so close that Gayman is quoted as telling Gritz he was "subpoenaed to the Federal Court House in Fort Smith in 1985 at the SEDITION TRIAL [following the arrest and trial of former members of the CSA and The Order], and was under potential threat of indictment and 87 years of prison under Rico-statutes for alleged activities in the infamous ORDER." According to Gritz, Gayman is also quoted in a letter he wrote to Gritz wherein he stated, “Only an act of God, and the lack of any real evidence, was this Pastor finally released from the custody of U.S. Marshals, U.S. Attorneys, and FBI." It has also not been widely disclosed that Dan Gayman was also called to testify for the prosecution at the trial of Gordon Kahl (Mormon) and Richard Wayne Snell who was the CSA member who began targeting the Murrah building in 1983 in retaliation for Kahl’s death at the hands of Federal agents. Gritz also stated that his and Eric Rudolf’s association with Gayman caused Gayman to tell Gritz that he should, "Reconsider making a marriage between what is commonly called ‘Identity’ and your ministry of ‘Protection and Preparedness’. It is absolutely unrealistic to try and mix guns and Identity. Moreover you will bring nothing but reproach upon the Gospel Of The Kingdom as you seek to mix the Maadi-Griffin or the Barrett with the words of Jesus Christ and His Apostles. Please do not bring disgrace upon the glorious Gospel of the Kingdom by bringing in a Barabbas philosophy. The philosophy of Barabbas and Jesus Christ will not blend together. You must make a choice between Christ or Barabbas." The Maadi-Griffin and Barrett are .50-caliber rifles.
Bruce Pierce (no apparent connection to Dr. William Pierce) met Robert Mathews through his association with the Aryan Nations, and after becoming friends in 1982, Mathews told him he was going to form a new terrorist group that would be modeled on the terrorists in Dr. William Pierce’s The Turner Diaries. When Matthews’ criminal activities were later investigated by authorities, Bruce Pierce testified, “…[Matthews] hoped for a natural disaster, economic failure of the U.S. government, a major race war, or anything that would disrupt society in America so that he would be able to gather up his army of men and strike against the system, that being the U.S. government. Bob Matthews's intent was to destroy those instruments standing in the way of Aryans having a homeland for the white race."
After, Mathews founded The Order in 1983 it quickly became the pre-eminent, and most criminal, white supremacist neo-Nazi Mormon fundamentalist group ever to grace the stage of the “Christian Identity” movement. During its 2-year existence, Matthews and The Order gained such infamy that it is still revered by white supremacist neo-Nazi Mormon fundamentalists even today and is the model that all new groups attempt to emulate. Initially, Matthews and The Order attempted to finance their criminal enterprises by legal means. Members even bid on a trail-clearing project, which they won, but because of the nature of the work and because the contract wasn’t very lucrative, The Order soon turned to crime to fund its missions, and included in the cornucopia of crime that eventually fed The Order was armed robbery, counterfeiting, bombings and murder. First, they robbed a porn shop in Spokane, Washington in April of 1983. Then they began counterfeiting US currency at the headquarters of Richard Butler’s Aryan Nations in Hayden Lake, Idaho located only about 25-miles from the porn shop. At first, their criminal activity wasn’t very profitable and only resulted in more troubles, but they practiced and soon became more polished and more successful. The Spokane porn shop robbery only earned them about $360, and Bruce Pierce was arrested after using some of the earlier counterfeit bills to pay for incidentals. But, in December of 1983, Matthews robbed a Citibank in Seattle, which netted them $29,500, and in March of 1984 an armored car robbery netted a windfall $3.8MM. Matthews then proceeded to spend this money on weapons, military training, and a ski-condo. And, like Robin Hood, he distributed most of the remaining funds to other Mormon fundamentalist groups, including Dan Gayman’s Church of Israel.
Members of The Order also bombed a Jewish Synagogue in Boise, Idaho, and murdered fellow member Walter West after Matthews suspected him of treason against the group. And, in their most public display of violence, David Lane and Bruce Pierce murdered Denver talk-show host Alan Berg in June of 1984. This incident occurred primarily because members of The Order enjoyed calling-in to Berg’s show (who was Jewish) to heckle him. However, being a seasoned veteran, Berg managed to reverse the roles and began publically ridiculing them on-air. It was this public humiliation that provided the catalyst for Lane and Pierce begin stalking, and then murder, Berg. After Berg’s murder, it was disclosed that The Order had prepared an entire “hit list” of people they planned on eliminating, and Berg was already number-2 on the list. Ironically, the ultimate demise of The Order was orchestrated by Robert Matthews himself after he dropped his gun during an armed robbery. Police were able to trace the gun to Tom Martinez, a member of The Order, who agreed to work as a police informant. Martinez’s testimony ultimately resulted in 10-members of The Order being tried and convicted under RICO statutes and another trial that resulted in 3-members being convicted on charges of violating the civil-rights of Alan Berg. A third trial, associated with the siege of the CSA compound, resulted in 14-members being charged with sedition, conspiracy and civil-rights violations, but end in the acquittal of 13 of the defendants. The judge dismissed all charges against the 14th defendant, citing lack of evidence. In all, more than 75-members of The Order were ultimately arrested and convicted on charges stemming from criminal activities they engaged in as members of The Order. Ironically, nobody was ever charged with murdering Alan Berg because it was deemed that only his civil rights had been violated.
David Lane, who drove the getaway car during Berg’s murder, was sentenced to 190 consecutive years in prison after being convicted of racketeering, conspiracy and violating Berg’s civil rights. He died in prison, in 2007. Today, Lane’s neo-Nazi brethren viewed his incarceration as one would view the incarceration of a “political prisoner”, and revere him as a hero martyred by the Zionist Occupational Government (ZOG). Further, a comment he once made is now a rally-cry for his secret Aryan brotherhood and is known as the 14-words, "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children". As The Order began being dismantled by authorities and its members began being arrested and fleeing to other States, Matthews escaped to a home on Whidbey Island in Washington State. State and Federal officials tracked him to Whidbey Island December of 1984, where he was asked to surrender and refused. This resulted in an intense standoff and shootout that went into the night, which led to the use of incendiary flares that were used to illuminate the battle scene. And, this ultimately led to the fiery destruction of the house and death of Robert Matthews. During its existence, The Order included among its ranks, Robert Matthews, Bruce Pierce, David Lane, Richard Scutari, Tom Martinez, Ardie McBrearty, Randy Evans, Gary Yarborough, Denver Parmenter, Frank Silva, Randy Duey and David Tate. But, this is hardly the end of the of The Order’s legacy, which went on to inspire a newer generation of Mormon fundamentalist “Christian Identity” groups that were even more radical. In fact, The Order was literally resurrected by 10-years later, in 1994, as the Aryan Republican Army (ARA). And, the ARA included such members as Timothy McVeigh (Catholic) and Chevie Kehoe (Mormon), and like The Order the ARA also robbed banks to finance the April 19, 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, exactly 10-years to the day after the April 19, 1985 siege at the CSA compound and 2-years to the day of the April 19, 1993 Waco siege.
When Mathews founded The Order in 1983, he strategically based it in smack dab in the middle of polygamist and fundamentalist Mormon country. Mathews’ original base of operations was Metaline Falls, WA, which is 8-miles south of the Canadian border and 15-miles west of the Idaho border. It also turns out that Metaline falls is only 80-miles north of Richard Butler’s Aryan Nation compound in Hayden Lake, ID. But, in the biggest coincidence of all, Metaline Falls is also only about 40-miles west of the site of the 1992 Ruby Ridge incident, and only about 40-miles southwest of the infamous polygamist Mormon community of Bountiful, British Columbia Canada, which is a sister-city to Colorado City, AZ, which is located in the same Arizona county that Kingman, AZ happens to be the county seat of. This begs the question, what are the chances that the virtually all significant populations of radical white supremacist neo-Nazi “Identity Christians” could be located right in the middle of significant populations of radical anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, racist and polygamist Mormons? And, what are the chances that virtually all of these same people share a common religion of hatred that was created by a madman solely to justify the right to own slaves north of the Mason-Dixon Line and destroy Christian America? Ockham’s razor is the notion that “All things being equal, the simplest explanation is the best one”. And, in this case, it would appear that the odds are impossible that there is not a direct correlation between Mormon, the Mormon religion and domestic terrorism against America. Ironically, these same Mormons base their ideology in terms of religion so that the Constitution of the United States would be forced to protect them, even as they seek to destroy America.
Identity Christians, Al-Qaida & “Government” Cover-up
During the resurgent militia movement of the 1980’s and 1990’s, Dennis Mahon who was the former Grand Dragon for David Duke’s California KKK operations opened up his Oklahoma franchise of Tom Metzger’s White Aryan Resistance (WAR). WAR is sort of a “KKK on steroids”, and he was very proud as he helped grow it into a “next-generation” version of an outdated and stodgy KKK. Unlike the KKK, WAR was extremely secretive, militaristic and violent, but like the KKK, it was still basically a white supremacist organization that focused on anti-Black and anti-Semitic hatred, and racial purity. WAR also wasn’t diminished by years of public-outcry or infiltration by government and anti-racist agents like the KKK is, and it had another key advantage. WAR was heavily populated with Mormon fundamentalists who lent “legitimacy” and additional resources that would not otherwise be available, like access to the CIA and FBI. This is because between 1951 and 1995, “mainstream” Mormons were been busily infiltrating the CIA and FBI to the extent that by the mid-1990’s, Mormons in the FBI and CIA comprised the largest single group of people in both organizations. And, as has already been documented, at the time of the 1995 OKC bombing approximately 40% of FBI management was Mormon. Perhaps this also accounts for why the FBI was re-organized after the 1995 OKC bombing, the “rift” between Mormon and non-Mormon factions inside the FBI and the fact that Mormon’s in the FBI and CIA seem to have covered-up the fact that so many Mormon radicals were involved in every single act of domestic terrorism. How could this not have been discovered, and why was this not discovered. Actually, this is a rhetorical question and the answer should be clear by now.
Mahon was a busy man, and oversaw the operations of his White Aryan Resistance and Dial-a-Racist activities from his headquarters in Tulsa, OK, but he also often traveled to the polygamous religious compound of Elohim City for fellowship, target shooting, and to practice military maneuvers with his many radical buddies there. In Elohim City, Mahon’s White Aryan Resistance (WAR) was just one of many white supremacist, neo-Nazi militia groups and organizations who were affiliated with Robert Millar’s Elohim City. Also present in Elohim City in one form or another were The Order, The Covenant Sword and Arm, Aryan Republican Army, Aryan Nations/Church of Jesus Christ Christian, WCOTC and others. And, every one of these organizations was heavily populated with Mormons and Mormon fundamentalists and adhered to Mormon fundamentalist theology, which came to be known as the “Christian Identity” movement. Further, all of the so-called “Christian Identity” groups named above were founded by Mormons or Mormon fundamentalists and were based on radical Mormon theology of Joseph Smith. These Mormon fundamentalist founders included Dan Gayman (Church of Israel), Robert Mathews (The Order), James Ellison and Kerry Noble (the Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord and Peter Langan (Aryan Republican Army), which was resurrected from The Order. Additionally, the leader of the Michigan Militia, Mark Koernke, was Mormon, both McVeigh and Terry Nichols attended Koernke’s meetings, and McVeigh provided “bodyguard services” for Koernke under the pseudonym of “Tim Tuttle”. All of this helps explain why Mahon was a frequent visitor to Elohim City, Oklahoma, and how he became instrumental in organizing the new plan to bomb the Oklahoma City Murrah building, which began anew in 1994.
Oddly enough, Dennis Mahon was also on Iragi President Saddam Hussein’s payroll and admitted publicly that he was receiving monthly payments from the Iraqi Government in exchange for organizing protest rallies against the Iraq Gulf War (Desert Storm) beginning in 1991. Could it be that Mahon was a participant in some kind of alliance between radical Muslims and radical Mormon “Identity Christians” who shared many of the same religious beliefs held by Islam, including polygamy, Sharia law, doctrine of blood atonement, anti-Semitism and hatred of the United States Government? Actually, this possibility quite real and there is a body of evidence to support this. In her book The Third Terrorist, Jayna Davis describes a scenario that still remains a mystery today. According to Davis, she obtained sworn affidavits from credible witnesses who linked Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols to former Iraqi Republican Guardsmen who “defected” to the United States after Operation Desert Storm ended in 1991. In the fall of 1994, about six months prior to the Oklahoma City bombing, these same Iraqi servicemen suddenly surfaced and began working at Samir Khalil’s Samara properties in Oklahoma City. In 1991, Khalil spent 8-months in Federal prison for insurance fraud. But, around October of 1994 Khalil hired these 8-individuals allegedly to do painting and construction work and this coincides with when Terry Nichols (Mormon) traveled to Cebu City, Philippines to meet with Ramzi Yousef who executed the 1993 WTC bombing. According to research performed by Davis and federal court records she reviewed, Khalil was suspected of having ties to the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). Incredibly, according to the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee of the House International Relations Committee’s report, The Oklahoma City Bombing: Was There A Foreign Connection?, prepared for Congressman Dana Rohrabacher of California, Samir Khalil’s name subsequently was discovered on a published list of un-indicted co-conspirators related to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing as well.
Jayna Davis - the Al Qaida connection to the Oklahoma City bombing
At least 22-witnesses signed affidavits stating that the same Iraqi soldiers aided and abetted Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols in the execution of the April 19, 1995 Oklahoma City bombing in the months, weeks, days and hours leading up to the bombing. Further, one of these men was, in all likelihood, “John Doe number-2”, who was never officially identified. And, the question arises as to why the FBI cancelled their APB for “John Doe number-2”, which gave a description of a “middle Eastern male subject or subjects fleeing the scene issued in the immediate aftermath of the explosion”. Whoever this person was exactly fits the description of the person in the 3rd profile sketch of “John Doe number-2” who was seen in the company of McVeigh prior to the bombing, was seen seated in the passenger seat of the McVeigh’s Ryder truck rental with McVeigh driving and was seen by another witness stepping out of the Ryder truck at ground zero as it parked in front of the Murrah building on the morning of April 19th. The same person was also seen in a brown pickup truck speeding away from the Murrah building moments after the bomb detonated, and it is this same brown pickup that was the subject of the FBI’s APB and aggressive search after the bombing. Mind you, this was an official FBI issued APB that specifically profiled middle-eastern terrorists that were seen fleeing the scene of the bombing. After a profile sketch was distributed in the media without naming the suspect, Samara employee, Hussein Hashem al-Hussaini, came forward and identified himself as the person in the composite drawing. He then proceeded to sue the station and Davis for defamation and libel. However, Al-Hussaini later withdrew the state case and a federal judge dismissed the second case, which Al-Hussaini subsequently appealed.
Al-Hussaini also has no alibi for the morning of April 19th. And, while the Justice Department went on record clearing the names of hundreds of suspects who resembled “John Doe number-2”, but were not linked to the bombing, they never cleared Hussein Hashem al-Hussaini’s name who had been an Iraqi soldier and is placed at the scene of the crime by credible witnesses. Davis also states, “Despite repeated requests from the media, national and local media, as well as Congress, the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Jim Inhofe’s office, former Speaker Dennis Hastert’s office, and so forth, they have refused to go officially on the record and clear Hussein Hashem al-Hussaini of complicity in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building fifteen years ago”. Coincidently, Mormon Senator Orrin Hatch was the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which oversaw the Justice Department, between 1995 and 2001, and again between 2003 to 2005. Incidentally, would take until 2006 for Hatch’s Mormon fiefdom to finally be exposed for its corruption and propensity to hire obedient Mormons with no real prior experience. Hatch’s Justice Department included Brett Tolman who surreptitiously inserted the wording into the Patriot Act renewal, which allowed D. Kyle Sampson to execute the 2006 US Attorney scandal and enable himself to be appointed US attorney, D. Kyle Sampson who orchestrated the “2006 US Attorney Scandal” by first “fingering” and then terminating 9-US attorneys, Jay Bybee who wrote the “Bush Torture Policy” and allowed the creation of the Guantanamo gulag and allowed prisoners to be tortured in violation of the Geneva convention, and Timothy Flanigan, John Yoo and Dick Cheney’s legal counsel, David Addington, who began re-drafting the President’s special Continuity of Operations (COOP) legislation, which would allow the President of the United States to seize control of the United States Government in a time of national emergency and circumvent the checks and balances of the Constitution.
Strangely, every one of the individuals named above, except for Yoo and Addington, are Mormons or belonged to multi-generational Mormon families that were part of the large cadre of “mainstream” Mormons in the Bush Administration. Once these “mainstream” Mormons were assigned to positions of power within the Government, they specifically began drafting executive legislation that was specifically designed to violate the spirit of the US Constitution and circumvent the Judeo-Christian laws of the United States. Further, all of this was completely done in accordance with the secret Mormon prophecies of “Daniel’s Prophecy of the Rise of the Kingdom of God in the Last Days” and the “Doctrine of the Constitution Hanging by a Thread”. The book, Discourses of Brigham Young, includes an excerpt from one of Mormon President Brigham Young's sermons from the Journal of Discourses, which states, “The present Constitution, with a few alterations of a trifling nature, is just as good as we want; and if it is sustained on this land of Joseph, it will be done by us and our posterity”. In 1961, Mormon Senator Wallace Bennett was quoted as saying, “We have much in our national system that militates against the rise of a dictator. The Bill of Rights with its philosophy of individual rights against oppression is still a curb on a power-hungry President. But if I were to guess as to how the Constitution may "hang by a thread" it would be because of the immense powers given to the President and his opportunity for their abuse”. Even Senator Hatch himself referenced the “Doctrine of the Constitution Hanging by a Thread” in 1996, on KSL’s The Doug Wright Show, when he stated, "They tolerate everything that's bad, and they're intolerant of everything that's good. Religious freedom is going to go down the drain, too. I've never seen it worse than this, where the Constitution literally is hanging by a thread."
Incredibly, the very thing that made it possible for “mainstream” Mormons in the Bush Administration to begin drafting all of this special executive legislation in the first place was the very terrorist environment that was created by their radical Mormon brethren, better known as the “Christian Identity” movement. Just as incredible is the fact that everything done in the Bush Administration was made possible by the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and 9/11. But, apparently they are not done yet, on July 1, 2009, Glenn Beck who is Mormon nodded along as his guest, Michael Scheuer, former chief of the CIA's Osama bin Laden unit from 1996 to 1999 declared, “The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States…which will force Americans to demand that their government protect them effectively, consistently and with as much violence as necessary." Scheuer was essentially saying that “we” need another 9/11 type attack to change the Government without an election. And, by now, it should be crystal clear exactly who “we“ is. But, this should not really be cause for worry because “Daniel’s Prophecy of the Rise of the Kingdom of God in the Last Days” states, “…We are warranted in the belief, however, that it [Mormon Government] will be a tangible, bona fide government of God on earth, consisting of a king; subordinate officers; laws; subjects; and the whole earth for its territory--for its dominion. The coming forth of such a government, the founding of such a kingdom, is in harmony with all the hopes of all the saints, and the predictions of all the prophets who have touched upon the subject. It is the actual reign of Christ on earth with His Saints, in fulfillment of the hopes held out to them in every dispensation of the Gospel. It is to be the burden of the song of the redeemed out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation that Christ has made them unto their God kings and priests--and we shall reign on the earth…”.
Oddly, after conducting twenty-five thousand witness interviews on their own, the FBI could not find one witness who could tie any white supremacist neo-Nazi “Identity Christian” suspects, or any middle-eastern suspects to downtown Oklahoma City, Timothy McVeigh, the Ryder truck, getaway vehicles or the bombsite. And, the FBI maintains that the Iraqi suspects all had reasonable alibis. In short, the FBI failed to produce a single eyewitness account, fingerprint, motel registration log, or phone record that would link any of the Middle-Easterners to the bombing. The judge that presided over the 2004 trial of Terry Nichols ruled that the FBI’s pursuit of additional domestic terrorists amounted to nothing more than "hyperbole and a dry hole". Also during her investigation into the bombing, Davis discovered that the brown Chevy pickup, which was the subject of the FBI’s APB, was impounded by the FBI on April 27, 1995 after it was found abandoned in an apartment building parking lot. According to police reports, the pickup was stripped of its license plate, inspection tag, its VIN numbers and had been spray-painted yellow. A resident at the apartment complex also indicated that the driver was, "clean-shaven, with an olive complexion, dark, wavy hair and broad shoulders", was in his late 20s or early 30s and was of Middle-Eastern descent. And, here is where the story gets even more interesting. It is well documented that Nichols traveled to Cebu City, the Philippines in November of 1994 and met with Ramzi Yousef who executed the 1993 WTC bombing. It turns out that Davis interviewed Lana Padilla, Nichols ex-wife, regarding Nichols’ repeated trips to Cebu City, which was also a hotbed of Islamic radicalism. During her interview, Padilla explained, “Tim bought Terry the first ticket for the Philippines". That trip occurred in 1989, and his last visit allegedly occurred in November of 1994. Coincidentally, McVeigh’s defense team filed a motion that an American fitting Nichols' description met with Yousef in the Philippines in 1992 or 1993.
In conjunction with her investigation, Davis also aired a number of pieces regarding John Doe number-2 making sure to disguise the Iraqi’s real identity. This led to Alhussaini stepping forward on June 15, 1995 and telling Channel-9 in Oklahoma City that he was living in fear for his life. Alhussaini then proceeded to state that he was working on one of Khalil’s properties on the morning of April 19th and proceeded to produce a handwritten timesheet to corroborate his statement. He also denied knowing McVeigh and demanded a public apology from KFOR TV. Davis and KFOR countered with the list of witnesses they interviewed, stood by their story and labeled Alhussaini’s handwritten timesheet as a “fabrication”. At this point, Alhussaini filed a state civil libel suit, which he withdrew the day before a judge was scheduled to rule on behalf of KFOR’s motion for summary judgment. But, his suit froze KFOR’s coverage of the story, and Davis subsequently resigned from KFOR after the New York Times bought the station and the investigation was stopped. Subsequent to that, Davis testified before a State Grand Jury that was investigating the bombing in 1997, and provided the Grand Jury with the affidavits for all 22-witnesses she interviewed during her investigation. At that point, Alhussaini re-filed his libel suit, only this time Federal court, and KFOR attorneys filed a motion for dismissal. On November 17, 1999, US District Judge Tim Leonard granted their motion for dismissal stating that all of the data presented by Davis were either factual or statements of opinion, which did not libel the plaintiff. Alhussaini subsequently moved to Boston and began working at Boston’s Logan International Airport where he resigned because, he told his psychiatrist, "If anything happens there, I will be a suspect". On September 11, 2001, two commercial were hijacked from Logan as part of the 9/11-terrorist attacks.
During her investigation into the Oklahoma City bombing, Davis also communicated with Yossef Bodansky, Executive Director of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, and Bodansky revealed to her that the task force was warned in 1995 of an impending Islamic sponsored terrorist attack in America’s heartland. On February 27, 1995, the task force also issued a confidential warning that terrorists “may soon strike Washington D.C., specifically the Capitol and the White House". This report was distributed in secrecy to Federal intelligence agencies, claimed that the attacks would begin after March 21, 1995 and that the terrorist strikes might be directed against "airports, airlines and telephone systems". Then on March 3, 1995, the task force issued another “super-sensitive” report, which stated that there was a “greater likelihood the terrorists would strike at the heart of the U.S". Bodanski also communicated to Davis that the intelligence data he reviewed confirmed that, "Oklahoma City was on the list of potential targets". Bodanski also provided Davis with copies of task force alert notes as well as his own confidential personal notes that detailed this information, as well as his own personal and confidential notes containing information from Israeli sources that indicated a terrorist attack was imminent and that “lilly whites” would be involved. “lilly whites” were defined by the same source as individuals without any background or criminal records that would not be suspected members of a terrorist organization. In 1999, former FBI agent Dan Vogel was provided this information who said that he forwarded it on to his superiors who proceeded to rejected it because, according to Vogel, the FBI questioned Davis’ ownership rights. The FBI has never provided any further details regarding this series of events.
On August 10, 1995, McVeigh was indicted on 11 federal counts, including conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, use of a weapon of mass destruction, destruction by explosives and eight counts of first-degree murder. On October 20, 1995, the government filed notice that it would seek the death penalty for McVeigh. On February 20, 1996, the Court granted a change of venue and ordered for the case be transferred from Oklahoma City to the U.S. District Court in Denver, Colorado and be presided over by U.S. District Judge Richard Paul Matsch. Ironically, Richard Matsch was also the presiding judge for the 1987 murder trial of Jewish radio talk show host Alan Berg who was murdered in 1984 by members of Robert Mathews’ radical “Identity” group, The Order, who planned and executed the murder. And, in yet another irony, Dr. William Pierce, former member of George Lincoln Rockwell’s American Nazi Part and founder of the neo-Nazi National Alliance, wrote about an assassination of an unnamed Jewish talk show host in his fictional “Identity Christian” novel The Turner Diaries. And, The Turner Diaries was used as the “bible” for Robert Mathews’ The Order, which was later reincarnated in Elohim City as the Aryan Republican Army, which Timothy McVeigh belonged to and whose main objective seemed to be the resurrected plot to bomb the Murrah building in Oklahoma City. Further, the founder of the Aryan Republican Army, Peter Langan, is Mormon, and Timothy McVeigh was found with a copy of The Turner Diaries when he was arrested. One can only wonder if Judge Matsch ever realized that these events were related, that the same American terrorists were behind the murder of Alan Berg and the Oklahoma City bombing and that these events had their genesis in the same anti-American, anti-Christian, Anti-Semitic and racist Mormon fundamentalism that foisted Joseph Smith upon the World?
On June 2, 1997, McVeigh was found guilty on all 11 counts of the federal indictment, and on June 13, 1997, the jury in the McVeigh trial recommended the death penalty. The U.S. Department of Justice subsequently indicted McVeigh on Federal charges for causing the deaths of eight federal officers, which could also lead to a possible death penalty. However, the U.S. Department of Justice could not bring charges against McVeigh for the remaining 160 murders in federal court because they fell under the jurisdiction of the state of Oklahoma. So, because McVeigh had already been convicted and sentenced to death, the State of Oklahoma did not file murder charges for the other 160 deaths. On January 16, 2001 the Federal Bureau of Prisons set May 16, 2001 as McVeigh's execution date. But, on May 10, 2001, the FBI suddenly found housands of documents of evidence they had withheld to McVeigh's defense attorneys. As a result, U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft announced that McVeigh's execution would be stayed for one month and his new execution date was set for June 11, 2001. All of this additional data was “found” to be irrelevant, and McVeigh was subsequently executed by lethal injection at 7:14 a.m. on June 11, 2001, at the US Federal Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana. 3-years later, in February of 2004, the FBI announced it would review its investigation into the Oklahoma City bombing after learning that agents investigating of the so-called Midwest Bank Robbers, which was really Peter Langan’s (Mormon) Aryan Republican Army, turned up explosive caps of the same type that were used to trigger the Oklahoma City bomb. At the time, the FBI expressed surprise that bombing investigators had not been previously provided with this information from the Midwest Bank Robbers (Aryan Republican Army) investigation. McVeigh was previously given a one-week delay prior to his execution while evidence relating to the ARA bank robbers was presented to a court, but that evidence did not include this important information.
In summary, after McVeigh’s trial ended on June 2, 1997, the FBI and Department of Justice announced that between 3,000 and 4,000 documents relating to the bombing were withheld from McVeigh’s defense attorneys on May 10, 2001. Because of this “oversight”, McVeigh’s execution was postponed for one month while McVeigh’s defense team reviewed the documents. On June 6, 2001, Judge Matsch ruled that the documents would not prove McVeigh’s innocence and ordered the execution to proceed. Then, in 2004, the FBI revealed that the blasting caps used by the so-called Midwest Bank Robbers, which is really a misnomer for the Mormon Aryan Republican Army, matched the ones that were used in the Oklahoma City bombing. This raises the question, what else was in those 3,000 to 4,000 documents and how could the FBI and the Justice Department, both of which were dominated by “mainstream” Mormons at the time, have failed to disclose such important documents to the court? Even more importantly, were these documents purposely held on to and scrubbed, to remove any potentially damning evidence that might incriminate the Mormons and Mormon fundamentalists who helped perpetrate this act of violence. And, would they have provided any incriminating evidence that might linked the Mormon terrorists and “mainstream” Mormons in the FBI and CIA who helped bring in Al-Qaida into the US and helped cover-up the Mormon terrorist connection to these events? Incredibly, the missing documents confirmed that Elohim City was a hideout for a gang of racist bank robbers known as the Aryan Republican Army (ARA), and that between 1994 and early 1996, the ARA robbed over 20 banks throughout the Midwest and stole approximately $250,000. The same federal documents documented that at least three meetings, held for the purpose of organizing these robberies, were held in Elohim City. Further, the monies obtained from these robberies were used to finance the Oklahoma City bombing. A bigger question remains; are there any other documents that were never even provided?
Federal law enforcement officials initially seemed to link the ARA to the Oklahoma City bombing, and even stated that McVeigh and Nichols financed the Murrah bombing via the bank robberies that the ARA executed in the mid-west. About a month after the attack, Newsweek even reported that the FBI expected to arrest “a group of major players” within the coming weeks, and wrote, “investigators are looking closely at a white-supremacist group headed by Robert Millar in Elohim City, OK". For some reason, the government backed off this accusation as the McVeigh trial approached. In July of 1997, J.D. Cash of the McCurtain Daily Gazette, wrote "Millar's position as a mole for the FBI could explain why the compound has never been raided. Despite its use as a hideout for gunrunners, drug dealers, bank robbers and suspected members of the conspiracy that bombed the Alfred E. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City, Elohim City has enjoyed a reputation as a place where fugitives can live without fear of arrest". There’s only one problem, Millar was never a Government informant, there were just a lot of radical “Identity Christians” in Elohim City that had serious connections to the FBI and CIA. The idea that Millar was a Federal informant may have been strategically propagated to provide a veneer of legitimacy for Millar’s followers. Remember, James Ellison (Mormon), who originally founded the CSA not only live in Elohim City, but was originally involved in planning the Oklahoma City bombing with fellow CSA member Richard Wayne Snell in 1983. Ellison was hardly a “mole” for Federal authorities. He was a “snitch” who testified in court against members of Robert Mathews (Mormon) The Order, in order to gain an early release from prison. And, because of that he was considered a traitor by all “Identity Christians”, except for Millar. But, that was probably only because when Ellison got out of Prison, he moved to Elohim City and married Millar's Granddaughter, Angeline on May 19, 1995.
The rumor that Millar was a government mole is also related to the rumor that the Oklahoma City bombing was a Government run operation. Perhaps this rumor was also strategically planted to provide the veneer of legitimacy to Peter Langan and Richard Lee Gurthrie who co-founded the Aryan Republican Army. Incredibly, Langan was the son of a Marine CIA Intelligence officer, and both of them were Mormons. Just as incredible, both of Richard Gurthrie’s parents were in the CIA. This rumor probably took off after Langan and Guthrie robbed a Pizza Hut in October of 1992, prior to founding the ARA. At the time, the US Secret Service intervened and arranged for Langan to be released on just a signature bond. The arrangement was ostensibly made so that he could go and find Guthrie for the Secret Service because Guthrie had allegedly made threats against President Bush. But, when Langan was released he never did turn Guthrie in. Instead, the two of them simply teamed up again to form the ARA and begin robbing banks from their base in Elohim City. After the Oklahoma City bombing, the FBI did manage to locate and arrest Guthrie, on January 15, 1996, and 2-days after he was arrested he told the FBI they would be able to find Langan, also known as “Commander Pedro”, at his duplex at 585 Reinhard Avenue in Columbus, Ohio. On Jan 18, 1996, the FBI surrounded Langan’s duplex and arrested him after a brief shootout. Terry T. Dillon, a demolitions expert with the Columbus Fire Division, testified to U.S. District Judge John D. Holschuh that after Langan was arrested, he and two other explosives technicians found 10 pipe bombs and four grenades inside Langan’s duplex, and an 11th pipe bomb and 5th grenade inside a van parked behind the duplex. Gurthrie then fingered fellow ARA members Scott Stedeford and Kevin McCarthy, and Aryan Nations leader Mark Thomas, all of whom were subsequently arrested. Stedeford, McCarthy and Langan were subsequently convicted of armed robbery and Langan copped a lesser conviction by agreeing to testify against the others. Meanwhile, Richard Lee Guthrie was mysteriously found hanged in his jail cell shortly after reaching a plea deal with Federal Authorities and after saying he was going to write a book that would really embarrass the US Government.
It was this entire set of bizarre circumstances that prompted researchers to speculate if the ARA and the bombing had been some kind of covert Government operation. This speculation was further fueled by all of the strange and indecipherable links between the white supremacist neo-Nazi “Identity Christians” involved and the seemingly “mainstream” law enforcement authorities in the FBI and CIA. However, the common link was the “Mormon connection”, which was never even made because who could have even thought to look at something like this; it would have seemed un-American to even consider something like this. Meanwhile, “mainstream” Mormons in the FBI and CIA were desperately working to cover-up the “Mormon terrorist connection” and the fact Mormons in the CIA and FBI likely aided and abetted bringing-in Islamic terrorists and Al-Qaida into the United States beginning as early as 1985 with Ali Mohamed. These links and this speculation would have only served to confuse anyone who might have accidentally discovered links between “Identity Christian” terrorists, Middle-Eastern terrorists and “mainstream” Federal and State law enforcement officials. Oddly, Langan, Guthrie and other ARA members were not arrested until after the press began reporting on Elohim City. And, Guthrie was mysteriously found dead in his prison cell a few days after telling relatives he was going to write a book about the ARA that would embarrass the US Government. Just like Kenneth Trentadue’s death a few months later, Guthrie’s jailhouse death was ruled a suicide and the coroner's report was never released. The most likely cause of Guthrie’s death was his potential for exposing so many Mormon terrorists and “mainstream” Mormons with links to US Intelligence. And, “Mainstream” law enforcement officials wouldn’t have had any trouble gaining access to Guthrie in jail.
In 2004, the Associated Press again reminded everyone that the Justice Department had withheld over 3,000 documents related to the 1997 McVeigh trial, including new documents that showed that the ARA bank robbers possessed explosive blasting caps similar to those that were stolen by McVeigh, and a driver’s license bearing the name of a man who was robbed to help fund the Oklahoma bombing. This evidence was never shared with Oklahoma City investigators or McVeigh’s defense attorneys. At the time, the question was posed as to why FBI agents investigating the ARA failed to alert the Oklahoma City investigators of any possible links between McVeigh and the ARA white supremacists. Danny Coulson, FBI agent in charge of the Oklahoma City bomb site, even said: “There are some unanswered questions here. A lot of things happened that were inappropriate. I think it needs to be reopened, but I don’t think it should be reopened by the FBI. It needs to be a special investigator, a lawyer, totally independent. He needs to have subpoena power and the ability to use a grand jury”. McVeigh’s ex-lawyer, Steven Jones, also stated that the documentation obtained by the AP is the strongest to date that supports his long-standing contention that the bombing may have involved more people than just McVeigh and Nichols. He also said, “I think these pieces close the circle, and they clearly show the bombing conspiracy consisted probably of 10 conspirators. They [government officials] simply turned their backs on a group of people for which there is credible evidence suggesting they were involved in the murder of 160 people”. Peter Langan, Mormon founder of the ARA also explained, after being incarcerated and disclosing to the AP that he was planning on testifying at Nichols 2004 trial, that some years earlier federal prosecutors had offered, and then withdrew, a plea deal for information that would link the ARA and the bombing, and that the ARA, “had some liability problems as it related to Oklahoma City”.
After Mark Thomas, the Aryan Nations member who allegedly helped the ARA execute the Oklahoma City bombing, was indicted in January 1997, he told reporters that at least one of their white supremacist Elohim City associates was involved in the bombing. But, FBI agents dropped their inquiry into links between McVeigh and the ARA after Thomas, Langan, Gurthrie and other ARA members were captured in 1996 and 1997. This was because the FBI maintained that all of these same suspects had denied any involvement in the bombing and had provided an alibi. But, FBI documents also show that these same ARA suspects were still in the Oklahoma area even after they claimed to have left it. Dan Defenbaugh, the now-retired chief of the FBI’s McVeigh investigation, said his investigators were never told about the blasting caps, the license or the alibi discrepancies during his investigation. David Paul Hammer, McVeigh’s friend and fellow death-row inmate wrote a book about his conversations with McVeigh while he was on death-row. And, one of Hammer’s claims is that McVeigh told him that other white supremacists were involved in the bombing. When the execution of McVeigh was delayed in May of 2001 following the revelation that the FBI had withheld thousands of pages of documents from McVeigh’s defense team, the execution only proceeded after Attorney General John Ashcroft, President George W. Bush and FBI Director Louis Freeh insisted there was nothing in the documents that would affect McVeigh’s legal position. A WSWS article dated May 26, 2001, entitled, “Why the government’s rush to execute Timothy McVeigh?”, also stated, “The withheld evidence might also contain information damaging to the FBI or other government agencies. There is good reason to suspect that FBI informants knew more about the bombing and the events leading up to it than has been revealed. It is well known that the FBI has many informants in the militia movement, among gun lobbyists, the Christian right, the Ku Klux Klan and other racist and extreme-right groups. There is a long history of FBI collusion in right-wing violence”.
The FBI’s failure to further investigate and provide information pertinent to the Oklahoma City bombing, and actually suppress such information, seems to reveal a pattern of contradiction between the Bush Administration’s “war on terror” and domestic terrorism. This is further illustrated by recent acts of terrorism that could not possibly have been orchestrated by foreign terrorists, such as the 2001 anthrax and ricin attacks on the US Senate offices, the White House, Tom Brokaw and others. These acts of terrorism were simply “forgotten” and they’ve never been resolved. Further, creating the impression that McVeigh was a “lone bomber” would have been a key strategy for anyone wanting to conceal the extensive ties between so-called “mainstream” Mormons in the Government, white supremacist, neo-Nazi “Identity” Mormons who helped plan and execute these acts of domestic terrorism and Mormons in the CIA and FBI who helped Al-Qaida gain entrance to the United States and coordinate with “Identity Christians”. “Mainstream” Mormon government officials in the Bush Administration would have had every reason to cover-up these links. Further, it can be shown that these same “mainstream” Mormon Republican Party Senators, Congressmen and local politicians received substantial political support and funding from their “Identity Christian” brethren who were involved in perpetrating these acts of domestic terrorism. And, with regards to the mysterious anthrax and ricin attacks, two rogue Mormons who secretly developed and tested anthrax and other deadly agents, but have never been associated with these attacks or investigated as possible leads by the FBI, include Dr. Larry Ford and Dr. Jerry Nilsson. Both Ford and Nilsson both knew and worked with each another, they both are/were Mormons and Ford had ties to the same radical Mormon “Identity Christians” around Kingman, Arizona that both McVeigh and Mahon are associated with.
During the trial of Terry Nichols in 2004, the Associated Press reported that Nichols’ defense attorneys claimed more than a dozen FBI documents that raised the possibility of other individuals besides McVeigh and Nichols being involved in the Oklahoma City bombing were not turned over to them. The documents cited included two 1990’s teletypes from FBI Director Louis Freeh’s office that cited possible connections between McVeigh and the ARA. However, the Supreme Court has ruled that Federal prosecutors are required to turn over all pertinent materials that might assist or help clear a defendant during the “discovery” process. This Supreme Court ruling specifically related to materials that might point to other suspects or cast doubt on the prosecution’s witnesses. In conjunction with this, Nichols’ defense attorney’s reviewed all of the materials cited in the AP story, proceeded to identify all of the data that was not provided with the files the Government and prosecutors previously provided them and subsequently identified 13 FBI documents and other materials that were not provided. Lead attorney, Brian Hermanson, then stated “To our knowledge, we have not received these documents from the state or federal government”. Nearly all of the information reference pertained to FBI investigations linking McVeigh to the Mormon Aryan Republican Army and Elohim City. Further, at least two of these ARA subjects and one subject’s ex-girlfriend (Carole Howe) claimed to have knowledge of the bombing plot in advance of the bombing, but the FBI dropped the investigation after these same individuals denied any involvement and provided alibis (ARA bank robbers, not Howe).
One FBI teletype from January 1996 stated that McVeigh was attempting to recruit a second conspirator in the weeks before the bombing when he tried to call another white supremacist in Elohim City (Andreas Strassmeir) and indicated that McVeigh may have had regular contacts with individuals at the Elohim City compound. The second teletype indicated that two members of the ARA were present with McVeigh when he made the call to the Elohim City compound. Dan Defenbaugh, the now-retired chief of the FBI McVeigh investigation, stated that he was unaware of that information and that it should have been shared with his investigators so they could interview those individuals. In 2005, J.D. Cash of the McCurtain Daily Gazette, revealed that the attorney’s in the Kenneth Trentadue case sought 87-pages of "un-redacted" internal FBI documents related to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act. The incredible irony here is that Trentadue was a Mormon who had served time for bank robbery, and was incarcerated in 1995 for allegedly violating his parole. Trentadue was subsequently found hanging in his cell at the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City on Aug. 21, 1995, and his death was ruled a suicide. However, his death didn’t seem to meet the criteria of suicide because he also seemed to have been severely beaten prior to his death. His brother, Jesse Trentadue, also Mormon and a Salt Lake City based attorney, sued for wrongful death in Utah claiming that his brother had been strangled with plastic handcuffs by guards who mistook him as an accomplice in the Oklahoma City bombing, which under the circumstances were not that far-fetched because Trentadue was involved in bank-robbery and was Mormon. However, apparently in the confusion created by the FBI’s alleged cover-up of the bombing this question was never deemed relevant.
And, herein lies an even greater irony, which is that the Mormon establishment in Utah really really didn’t want the Federal Government to allow the FBI to make these documents public to Jessie Trentadue, even though he was Mormon. Consequently, what resulted was a fight between the Mormon establishment in Utah who desperately wanted to continue to cover-up any potentially damning revelations about Mormon radicals who were involved in the bombing, and Jessie Trentadue, a Mormon who didn’t really seem to care whether his brother might have been involved in terrorism or not and only seemed to want to extract money from a despised Federal Government. Orrin Hatch’s Justice Department cited a number of reasons the court should disallow disclosure of "un-redacted" internal FBI documents to Jessie Trentadue. Among them was the reason that sensitive documents would reveal certain names and facts surrounding the paramilitary activities of radical Mormons in the polygamous Mormon town of Elohim City. So, Federal attorneys in Utah, who worked for the U.S. Justice Department, filed suit in Federal Court in Salt Lake City and argued that the FBI’s Oklahoma City Office should not have to make these sensitive documents public, which others argued would prove once and for all that the FBI had prior knowledge of the plot to bomb the Oklahoma City bombing, failed to stop it and that Mormon bank robbers were involved in the plot to bomb the Oklahoma City bombing. At the center of the controversy is a potentially explosive, and unclassified, copy of a memorandum identified as "From the Director of the FBI" containing references to an FBI undercover operation in Elohim City prior to the Oklahoma City bombing that was sent to a select group of FBI offices around the nation 8-months after the bombing and reveals that an informant inside Elohim City was working for nationally known civil rights lawyer Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center.
One of the keys to understanding the damning indictment of the Mormon establishment who wanted to foil Jessie Trentadue’s efforts to force the FBI to make public its teletype “From the Director of the FBI" under the Freedom of Information Act, is reviewing the time line of these events and understanding that Utah’s Mormon Senator Orrin Hatch was the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee between 1995 and 2001, and again from 2003 to 2005. On August 21, 1995, Kenneth Trentadue was found dead in his cell at the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City. In August of 2004, Kenneth’s brother, Jesse Trentadue, sues FBI to produce documents related their investigations into the connection between the Oklahoma City bombing and the ARA. The FBI claims that no such documents exist. In July of 2005, a federal judge orders the FBI to do another search, and the FBI turns over two dozen heavily redacted internal reports to Trentadue. These documents indicate the agency was looking into ties between the ARA and the bombing in the months after it already claimed the only perpetrators involved were McVeigh and Nichols. In September of 2005, a federal judge in Oklahoma ordered the Government to pay the Trentadue family $1.1 million for emotional distress related to the death of Kenneth Trentadue and orders the FBI to produce additional un-redacted records. In November of 2005, the FBI asks Judge Kimball to reverse his order to produce more records and the federal government appealed the $1.1-million-dollar award. In August of 2007, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit revokes the award and sends the case back to the judge who originally awarded the $1.1 million in the first place. The key here is that Senator Orrin Hatch was in charge of the Justice Department at every juncture when non-Government investigators were demanding access to FBI documentation about the Oklahoma City bombing, and the data always seemed to be withheld.
In 2008, after the appeal bounced back and forth two more times, the judge who originally awarded the Trentadues the $1.1 million dollars in the first place reinstated the $1.1-million award, and the Trentadue family claimed that Justice Department attorneys told them the Federal Government would never pay the judgment, no matter no matter how many judgments the family won. In November of 2008, Kenneth Trentadue's family offered a new $250,000 reward for information that would lead to a murder conviction in the case of Kenneth Trentadue. And, according to one 2008 interview, the federal government finally did pay a civil settlement, which was the source of the reward money that the Trentadue’s offered. The important thing to understand here is that even though the circumstances behind Kenneth Trentadue’s appear to have been covered-up, he was likely killed because he was a Mormon bank robber and because of his resemblance to “John Doe number-2” (in this case believed to be Richard Gurthrie). This is an indication that somebody involved in Trentadue’s death was aware of the Mormon connection between the ARA bank robbers and the Oklahoma City bombing. Further, the veracity of the Utah Justice Department attorneys’ efforts, under the leadership of Mormon Senator Orrin Hatch, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee between 1995 and 2001 and again from 2003 to 2005, to quash Jessie Trentadue’s efforts at obtaining FBI documents appears suspicious. Additionally, it was during exactly these same years, when Hatch ran the Justice Department that every key investigation into the Oklahoma City bombing occurred. It appears obvious that Hatch, as well as every other Mormon in the Bush Administration may have been involved in efforts to cover-up any links between radical Mormon domestic terrorists and the 1993 WTC bombing, the 1995 OKC bombing and 9/11.
