Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, April 19, 2025

Thirty years after a truck bomb detonated outside a federal building in America's heartland, killing 168 people in the deadliest homegrown attack on U.S. soil, deep scars remain. The bombers were two former U.S. Army buddies, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, who shared a deep-seated hatred of the federal government fueled by the bloody raid on the Branch Davidian religious sect near Waco, Texas, and a standoff in the mountains of Ruby Ridge, Idaho, that killed a 14-year-old boy, his mother and a federal agent. And while the bombing awakened the nation to the dangers of extremist ideologies, many who suffered directly in the attack still fear anti-government rhetoric in modern-day politics could also lead to violence.

Is McVeigh going to receive a posthumous Presidential Medal Of Freedom from bunker bitch today?

Yes. With the passage of time we understand that this bombing was MAGA. McVeigh fits in perfectly. I'll bet that he would think that the Russia-Ukraine War is Ukraine's fault.

And they never did identity the third co-conspirator that helped McVeigh and Nichols.

Who almost certainly had to be an intelligence asset. No other reason to protect that identity.

Very good Snoofy, at least someone acknowledges a Fed was involved.

I remember hearing the tape played in open Court at the trial of the Davidians; hearing them talking about getting the gas cans they had prepared for the fire to be terminal.

MAGA birth pang.

Worked on a book decades ago -- the author died mysteriously during the book's preparation -- that included information from seismic testing that indicated McVeigh's bomb was proximate to the real explosions: those from ATF caches illegally stored on the floors below the daycare center.

So, to BlueWaffles, there you go: a federal government conspiracy to cover up.

DBT2, when I was in college a friend of mine and myself decided to go observe a 9/11 truth demonstration on a major college campus that will not be named. With that said, there were Feds in the crowd taking photographs of the protestors. One of them asked if my friend and I were part of the protest. We let them know we were there to simply watch the show. With that said, we did enjoy their screening of loose change.

Every major catastrophic event of post WW2 America has been caused or influenced by the surveillance state. That is the truth, and when you accept that as the truth; it's far easier to see that those who have held long term power behind the curtain of government have no business being in the positions of power they so desperately cling to.

Do Americans not know their own history?

The bombing destroyed all documents in the Murrah Building related to Hillary Clinton's involvement in the Whitewater scandal.

The bombing was was also used to usher in the surveillance state, which Snoofy clearly approves of.
