JOHN DOE TIMES SPECIAL EDITION:
"MICKEYMOUSING AROUND WITH THE TRUTH":
ABC COVERS UP FOR ATF & FBI IN OKLAHOMA CITY BOMBING CASE!!
By Mike Vanderboegh
ABC "World News Tonight" with Peter Jennings spiked a story this evening that
proves conclusively that the Clinton Administration had prior knowledge of
the Oklahoma City Bombing.
This story would have detailed the case of Carol Howe, a neoNazi
"Confidential Informant" in the employ of the ATF who warned her control
agent, Angela Finley, of the Tulsa Office of the ATF, about the plot months
before the explosion which killed 168 Americans and wounded over 500.
Carol Howe says she was recruited by the ATF in mid- 1994 to spy on neoNazis
in Oklahoma, especially those living at and passing through Elohim City, a
"Christian Identity" compound near Muldrow, Oklahoma. Press accounts in
newspapers as diverse as the the McCurtain Gazette of Idabel, Oklahoma and
the Denver Post have reported on Ms. Howe's activities for the ATF prior to
the Oklahoma City bombing. Sources tell the John Doe Times that Ms. Howe met
with Agent Finley more than 75 times in the period she worked for the ATF.
Among the subjects of her intelligence gathering were Michael Brescia,
identified in these pages as John Doe #2, and Andreas Carl Strassmeir, a
former German intelligence officer and ATF informant/provocateur according to
press accounts reprinted in earlier issues of the John Doe Times.
Not only did ABC have the statements of Carol Howe about her activities on
behalf of the ATF, but they had obtained official documents which backed her
story 100%. One of those documents, we are told, indicates Ms. Howe was
given numerous polygraph examinations by the FBI in the period after the
bombing-- and passed each and every one.
The essence of this story butresses claims made for over a year by Glenn
Wilburn and other bombing victims-- that the Oklahoma City bombing was an ATF
sting gone bad, and that the FBI and the U.S. attorneys prosecuting McVeigh
are actively assisting in the coverup.
The story was pulled at the last minute by the powers-that-be at Disney/ABC
even though it was confirmed by Justice Department P.I.O. Leesa Brown.
ABC KNEW the story was accurate and pulled it anyway at the behest of the
Clinton Administration Justice Department and possibly (according to one of
our sources) the White House itself.

A JOHN DOE TIMES EDITORIAL,
Where we Ask the Unseemly Questions:
DOES A.B.C. NOW STAND FOR "A" "BIGGER" "COVERUP"?
PETER JENNINGS: MINISTER OF PROPAGANDA IN THE CLINTON REICH?
IS ABC NOW TO BE THE ARBITER OF DECIDING WHAT NEWS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN
"HANDLE" AND WHAT NEWS THEY CAN'T?
"The function of the press is very high. It is almost holy. It ought to
serve as a forum for the people, through which the people may know freely
what is going on. To mis-state or suppress the news is a breach of trust."
-- Louis D. Brandeis, 1912.
For those of us who have assisted the Wilburn private investigation of the
Oklahoma City bombing for over a year now, there is one thing that is
perfectly clear at the end of this long day of bitter disappointment-- the
Clinton Administration will go to any length to hide their culpability in the
worst act of domestic terrorism in American history. No lie is too awful, no
threat is too vile, no personage is considered exempt from cooption or
coercion if the terrible secret that preserves their power is to be kept.
We do not know at this late hour tonight whether the decision to spike the
story came from Producer of Investigative Projects Chris Isham, from
America's highest-paid and least-respected Canadian, Peter Jennings, from
Roone Arledge at ABC corporate or from Michael Eisner at Disney. What is
clear is that there is only one person in Washington powerful enough to carry
out this coverup and bring a lap-dog press to heel so that he need not fear
exposure-- William Jefferson Clinton. Whether he made the phone calls
himself, or had his minions dial the numbers, it is Bill Clinton who must be
behind the withdrawal of the story that was the greatest threat to his
continued presidency.
Isham's motives for participating in this coverup are perhaps no more than
job preservation. Jennings, a moral lightweight at best, would have sold the
story out merely to preserve his coctail party circuit invitations.
Presumably Arledge and Eisner required more substantial reasons to spike
what will turn out to be (for some network) an Emmy-award-winning story-at
least.
Surely they don't think that simply because they choose not to report the
story, it won't become known through other means? This is, after all, the
age of the Internet. Is Jennings truly so isolated and arrogant in his glass
and steel New York Olympus that he feels comfortable playing "Propanganda
Minister" to Clinton's "Der Fuhrer"? Is ABC now the Orwellian "Ministry of
Truth", withholding all news that reflects badly on the regime, and reporting
only "sunshine and light"?
The White House has spiked other Oklahoma City stories before on other
networks. What makes THIS story so vital is the direct contradiction that
Carol Howe's document-supported testimony makes to numerous statements by the
ATF and FBI about the case. If Carol Howe is right, the administration has
been lying all along about prior knowledge of the OKC bombing. If Carol Howe
is wrong..... well, we don't have to worry about that for we have Leesa
Brown's statement that Ms. Howe's testimony is correct.
"France fell because there was corruption without indignation." Romain
Rolland, 1940.
Of course you could make up your own minds about this case-- if ABC would
just show you the footage they spiked. Here's something you CAN do to that
might have some influence on them and could ultimately lead to a change of
heart at ABC: call them. Call them today-- call them early and call them
often. Call Disney's Michael Eisner. Tell him you intend to boycott Disney
until they force ABC to do the right thing with this news story. Organize a
Mickey Mouse hat turn-in at every Disney store in every mall in the country.
Call Disney World and tell them that you're cancelling your tickets to see
them and their mouse buddies. Tell your neighbors and tell your friends:
Dump the Mouse! No thinking American, whatever their political stripe,
should pay for the privilege of being propangandized on behalf of a criminal,
corrupt regime! DUMP THE MOUSE!
Then call your local, regional or national radio talk show host... put this
communication onto the Net or on a fax network and above all, let your
congressman know that you don't appreciate being lied to by omission. Demand
that Congress investigate Disney/ABC to determine if they are breaking their
FCC license agreements by violating the public duty that is required of
companies which use the public airwaves.
How Jennings, Arledge, Eisner and Company can look themselves in the mirror
after acquiescing to the monstrous coverup of the true facts of the deaths of
168 Americans is beyond my understanding. But I DO know this:
The coverup can only continue if we let it. We are Americans. We have long
prided ourselves as a people who can take the Truth, however harsh and
unvarnished, and overcome the challenges that it presents.
For reasons of political expediency or cravenly personal career choices, we
have been told a terrible lie. DEMAND THE TRUTH. DEMAND IT NOW. THE WOUNDS
OF OKLAHOMA CITY CAN ONLY BEGIN TO HEAL WHEN WE HAVE THE WHOLE TRUTH.
DISNEY/ABC IS FURTHERING THE LIE. LET'S SHOW THEM WHAT AMERICANS THINK OF
LIES AND LIARS.
