Ms. Evans contacted the Nation of Islam headquarters in Chicago, Illinois, hoping to speak with Minister Louis Farrakhan to ask him to confirm or deny the claim. She was told by Nation of Islam representatives that the organization would hold a press conference in the afternoon to comment on the matter, but at that time, they had nothing to say in response. Later that afternoon, shortly before 2.30 p.m., the Nation of Islam National Headquarters released a statement demurring any involvement in the Oklahoma City bombing, saying, quote, Nation of Islam officials emphatically deny any connection with the terrible act and, along with the entire country, pray for the success of public officials, rescue workers, and all those working to save lives and property, end quote. The Chicago headquarters announced that an official press conference would be held at 3 p.m. and further statements would be made at that time. That press conference was not broadcast in the Oklahoma City area. The rumors, claims, counterclaims, and denials about Middle East perpetrators continued at Full Street for two and a half days and would later reappear as other independent investigators, directed by the local news media, got underway. Only once was any effort made by the news media to discern and publicize the difference between the Nation of Islam and the Middle Eastern practitioners of the Islamic religion. That there was a substantial difference between the two groups, to say nothing of the differences between Muslims and Muslim fundamentalists, was never fully explained to the public. The general public was thus encouraged to believe they were all the same thing, and this ignorant and prejudicial view caused great tension in the Islamic communities of Oklahoma City, Norman, and Edmund. Dr. Emi Shakir, a cardiologist and president of the American Muslim Association in Oklahoma City, addressed the situation in the newspapers. He had spent hours working at the bomb site, helping the rescuers, and providing treatment to the injured. Dr. Shakir's wife, an anathesiologist at St. Anthony's Hospital, had worked a seven-hour shift aiding the wounded, until the hospital began to send medical personnel home, when it became apparent that there were going to be few, if any, additional survivors. Said Dr. Shakir, quote, there is an element of concern in the Muslim community, until they find whoever did it, that there might be a backlash. As a doctor, as a parent, I can feel the tragedy. Nobody in the Muslim Association in any way condones the crime, and everyone hopes the criminals, whoever they are, will be punished." End quote. The media was asked to remain objective and calm, and to act with restraint. In the late afternoon, Ibrahim Hooper, National Communications Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington, D.C., stated that the possibility of a Middle Eastern suspect did not mean that the suspect was necessarily a Muslim. End quote. End quote. End quote. End quote. This is what happens in these situations. But there are no suspects. Why people jump to those conclusions that this was done by Muslims, I don't know. The thing is, members of the Muslim community hesitate to even discuss this, because even in condemning it, we're associating ourselves with it." End quote. End quote. The Council on American-Islamic Relations, in conjunction with other American Muslim groups, issued a formal statement condemning the bombing attack as a criminal and immoral act. The statement also said, to link this attack with the religion of Islam places millions of responsible American Muslims at risk. The sentiment of most Muslims in the Oklahoma City area was summed up by one gentleman who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation. more than normal. We are just like any other Americans here. We condemn it as much as anybody else. That there are people of Middle Eastern descent in the Oklahoma City area should not have come as a surprise to anyone. There is a large, peaceful, and well-respected Middle Eastern Islamic population in the metropolitan area. It is estimated at from 6,000 to 10,000 people. For at least two decades, the University of Oklahoma in Norman had attracted large numbers of students from the Middle East because of its excellent petroleum engineering and land management degree programs. The Oklahoma City area was home to many wonderful business and professional people of Middle Eastern descent, and the city of Edmonds, located 15 miles north of Oklahoma City, had recently erected a mosque in which Islamic worshippers practiced their religion. The aspirations cast upon those from the Middle East, all of whom were automatically and incorrectly assumed to be of the Islamic faith, were racist, prejudicial, and predictable. Many local citizens assumed that given the violent nature of the war in the Middle East and the terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City, it was only logical that Muslim fundamentalists must have been responsible for the bombing in Oklahoma City as well. During the broadcast of ABC World News Now, John McWethy, reported from the Pentagon, speculated, The fact that it was such a powerful bomb in Oklahoma City immediately drew investigators to consider deadly parallels that all have roots in the Middle East. The car bomb has been a weapon of choice there for decades, and in recent years the skillful bomb makers have exported their skills and often their extremist hatreds all over the world. The first horrible evidence of that in the United States was the World Trade Center bombing in 1993. Few local people, if any, realized that court documents filed in May following the World Trade Center event revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had been implicated in the World Trade Center bombing, that it had supervised the building of the bomb, that it had planned and directed the event, and that an FBI employee even instructed accused bomber Mohamed Salama how to drive the infamous Ryder rental van two days before the explosion occurred. In addition to the court documents, the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times had published transcripts of tapes made between an FBI informant and his federal government handlers that clearly documented and demonstrated the degree of involvement of the FBI in the World Trade Center bombing, a disaster designed to achieve a specific political end. That the manipulated suspects in the New York tragedy were of Middle Eastern descent and were considered Islamic fundamentalists was very convenient indeed for providing ready-made scapegoats in the Oklahoma City bombing. A similar and at times identical scenario would play itself out in the local and federal investigations that followed.

And it's not that piece of paper you've got in your pocket. It's gold and silver coin. And the Founding Fathers had plenty of experience upon which to build their decision on what would become the money for the United States of America. You see, they were astute students of history. They had fled from the persecution of empires and kings and tyrants in the old world. They were escaping religious persecution. They knew what would happen if a religion controlled the state in the new world. And so they made sure that our government would not be a religious government, but it would be populated with religious people. For they understood that religion is the source of morals and ethics and good behavior. And that without a higher source to dictate to man, all of those things become subjective. And that is extremely dangerous. They also knew the history of how tyrants robbed the people by the creation of paper money. And so they made sure that our money would be real money, gold and silver coin. They even established a Bureau of Weights and Measurements to make sure that a dollar in New York would be the same as a dollar in Virginia. So that no one could be cheated. They gave Congress the power to coin money. Not print money. Not farm it out to someone else. Not grant the ability to create money to some private corporation. Not to create credit or debt. But to coin money. They further specified that no state shall tender in payment of debt anything other than gold or silver coin. So what is all this Federal Reserve note business? Well folks, that's something you had better find out. Because if you don't, it will destroy you. And that's not a guess. That's not a rumor. That's not speculation. That's a promise. That is a promise. It will happen. It's all got to come tumbling down. When we see anything built upon a lie, it's nothing but an extension of that lie. And when the lie on the bottom holding it all up is exposed to the cold light of day, it must all come tumbling down around our ears.

Mankin of the Oklahoma Geological Survey, located in the Sarkis Energy Building on the University of Oklahoma campus in Norman, Oklahoma, granted an extensive interview about the interpretation of the seismic records of the events. Dr. Mankin stated, quote, We had originally heard there were two explosions. That was what came over the radio. And so when we heard there were two, and we saw these two events on the seismic record, the logical conclusion was to say, Well, the first one looks about right for the time, and so apparently the second one relates to the second blast. That was a hell of a blast. All I can tell you is that there were two events. They look very similar. We've done every analysis we can think of. We know it's not the air blast. There's no question about that. The time is dead wrong. Everybody has agreed to that. While we can't rule out a refraction, an echo, everybody that has looked at the signal has said a refraction would really be strange, because there's absolutely no loss of energy in the recorded seismic signal. The second event has the same amplitude as the first. So if you get a refraction, like an echo, off of a building, a refracted wave, you're going to have a loss of energy. You'll lose a part of the energy in the process, and so the fact that the two events are of equal intensity suggests, well, that makes it difficult. Secondly, the arrival time is wrong for a refracted wave. You're going to have to take it, the refraction, off the mantle, or off of basement rocks or something. The problem with the shallow section of the Earth's crust between here and Oklahoma City is that we've got a pile of rather discontinuous sandstone and shale, a big delta called the Garber delta. That's where we get our water. It's a big delta consisting of channels of sand that go from east to west, and they're irregularly scattered throughout this pile of material. There aren't coherent layers from which you could get a reflection until you get some depth. And if you try to calculate the travel time down and back up, the time is wrong, and it still wouldn't be the same intensity. So we've ruled out reflections, refractions, and the air blast. The thing I can't rule out is that there could have fortuitously been an earthquake somewhere, but we didn't pick up anything like an earthquake. So we determined it was a local phenomenon. From an earthquake, you pick up surface waves some distance away. But here, we knew the building was blasted. We knew where it was. We had the seismometer. We got this record and said, OK, if it was this building, then this first event would have occurred at 902 plus some seconds. And if you look at the signal, it looks very much like a quarry blast, very much like some of the information you would expect. So our interpretation of this event is that these signals on the seismic record are the building being blown up. Now, that interpretation was confirmed in an indirect way by the omniplex seismometer sitting up in Oklahoma City. It picked up two events. Unfortunately, their clock was malfunctioning, so we couldn't get an absolute time number. But we saw the two events on our seismogram, and we saw the two events on their seismogram. We said the omniplex was closer to the event, so it should have a higher amplitude. It did. There should be two events if we are both recording the same thing. The omniplex had two events, and we had two events. We determined that these two records of these two events corroborate our interpretation that there were two explosions. Do you understand what I'm telling you, ladies and gentlemen? Do you understand what the research of the intelligence service of the Second Continental Army of the Republic has disclosed? The United States government, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, William Jefferson Clinton, and all of these other people are lying to us and have been lying to us since day one. And that's an aside. It is not printed in the book. That comes from me, from my heart, to you, and you had better understand it. We are being lied to. We are being manipulated. This is an attempt at social engineering. And there is an abundance of historical precedents. What amazes me is that in the face of all of this evidence, the American people remain complacent. Apathetic. As at Waco, oh, they were just a bunch of religious fanatics. They deserve what they got. They deserve to die. Will you be next? Will you be next? Are you one of those people who say, It can't happen to me. Just like many of those people in Oklahoma City lost children and relatives and fathers and mothers and aunts and uncles and grandparents in the blasts, yes, blasts, plural, that destroyed the Alfred P. Murrow Federal Building in Oklahoma City. For most of their lives thought, It can't happen to me. Nothing like that could ever happen here. The reason that it happened there, ladies and gentlemen, is because so many people believe that it can't happen in America. It can't happen in Oklahoma City. It can't happen in Salt Lake City. It is to bring terrorism to the American people so that they will consent to be disarmed. So that when the Constitution is torn to shreds and thrown into the trash can, and the world totalitarian socialist government is formed under the United Nations, or a perversion of the United Nations that is sure to come, they will not be able to resist it. And you had better understand that. Back to the book. Although we did not realize it at the time, the witnesses who reported hearing two separate explosions would not be heard from again that day or from many days to come. When their stories began to be told weeks later, few would be willing to allow their names to be used for fear of government harassment. Their stories were... ...were ever interviewed a second time. No account of the two explosions was recorded in the newspapers that hit the stands later that Wednesday afternoon. None of the newspapers published the next morning mentioned two explosions. As far as the mainstream media was concerned, only one explosion occurred. In daily press conferences, the representatives of the media were told by federal officials what to say and how to explain the event to the public, and the media obeyed. Taking it a step further, approximately two months after the bombing, ABC National News claimed that it had just acquired the audio tape from the staff meeting at the Oklahoma Water Resources Board building, and a heavily edited version was aired on television. The televised version of the tape revealed only the first explosion, followed by very poorly executed and obvious audio edits, leading directly to the panic-stricken escape section of the tape. The sounds of the second explosion and the collapse of the Muir building had been completely removed from the televised version of the Water Resources Board tape. One must assume that the sloppy editing had been done under the direction of ABC News. One has to ask, who ordered ABC News to edit the tape prior to national broadcast, and why was it so important to remove all evidence of the secondary explosion? Who or what was being protected by those audio edits? Why was the evidence being offered? The nature of the injuries that resulted from the bombing, the bodies of the dead, and the remains of the building itself all told a story that contradicted the official reports. Those official reports began taking over the airwaves by the afternoon of the day of the bombing. The building had been destroyed from both within and without. The fact that the entire north face of the Muir building had been blown 50 yards away to smash into the journal record building was the clearest indication that at least one explosion must have occurred within the building itself, for if the only explosion that occurred had been in the truck outside the building, parked next to the curb, the face of the building would have been blown into the building and not across the street.
