Fascist Networks & The Oklahoma City Bombing _________________________________________________________________ By Tom Burghardt, Antifa Info-Bulletin * `DO YOU WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT?' (SAN FRANCISCO) Timothy McVeigh's conviction in a Denver courtroom for the 1995 bombing of the Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City, is touted by liberals and media pundits as a "blow" against the far-right. But the decision by the FBI and Justice Department to limit their investigation and subsequent prosecution to "decorated" Gulf War vet McVeigh and army buddy, Terry Nichols, have raised serious doubts and provoked much speculation. Perhaps some of the lingering questions swirling around the case will be answered by an Oklahoma grand jury that convened in mid-July. Though state officials had tried to block the probe, they were forced to impanel a grand jury after more than 10,000 Oklahoma residents signed a petition demanding one. The petition drive was organized by Glenn Wilburn, who lost two grandsons in the blast, and Republican state legislator Charles Key. Wilburn died July 15 from cancer. But before his death, Wilburn and many others believed there was a wider conspiracy to bomb the federal building; they are not alone in their suspicions. One of the more intriguing scenarios challenging the "official" version of events, allege that internationally- connected fascists were involved in the plot. According to this reading, they blew up the Murrah building as an act of revenge for the execution of Richard Snell, a neo-nazi "soldier" in the Covenant, Sword and Arm of the Lord (CSA). During the 1980s, the CSA collaborated with The Order, a terrorist army of Aryan Nations, CSA and National Alliance disciples.[1] A retired FBI agent who put Snell behind bars for a racially-motivated double homicide, believes the killer could have helped plan the attack from death-row.[2] None of this should surprise anyone since mass-murderer Timothy McVeigh is a stone-cold fascist. When arrested by Oklahoma police neo-Nazi literature was found in his car, including _The Turner Diaries_, a pulp "novel" written by National Alliance "fuhrer" William Pierce. Herr Pierce's racist diatribe is believed to have served as an ideological "blueprint" for the bombing. According to some reports, McVeigh joined the Ku Klux Klan in Harrison, Arkansas in 1992. And a former Aryan Nations leader, Bobby Joe Farrington, told the _Denver Post_ he met McVeigh in 1992 at the group's Idaho headquarters. According to Farrington, the Oklahoma City bombing was part of a wider plot to kill four federal judges with truck bombs. One of the intended targets, retired U.S. District Judge Fred Daugherty had an office in the federal courthouse across the street from the Murrah building. When the Ryder truck exploded Daugherty was wounded by flying glass. Serving a 33-year sentence for the theft of a vehicle that was to be used in the murder of a judge in the Pacific Northwest, Farrington says McVeigh is "an idiot" who bombed the wrong building. Farrington claims his knowledge of the Murrah building blast "comes from correspondence and conversations with others in the white supremacist movement." An FBI spokesperson declined to answer questions about these allegations, citing Judge Richard Matsch's gag order during the McVeigh trial.[3] Idiot or not, like his progenitors in The Order McVeigh stole a gun collection from an Arkansas man and sold it to finance the attack. As a calling card he left behind a copy of _White Power_, written by the late American Nazi Party leader George Lincoln Rockwell. Far from being a "loner" or a "mad bomber" as depicted by the media, Timothy McVeigh is a _soldier_ in an underground nazi army hell-bent on inciting a race war.[4] By upping-the-ante through spectacular acts of terror, fascism achieves two objectives: they demonstrate the efficacy of "leaderless resistance" tactics that _instill fear_ and they shape the social climate necessary for a "strategy of tension" to succeed - increased state repression across the board. Oklahoma City: a recruitment poster for fascism's armed wing. If these alternate scenarios are plausible it shifts "ground zero" from Waco to Elohim City (EC), from the biblical _Book of Revelations_ to _The Turner Diaries_, from the Branch Davidians to the Aryan Nations and beyond. And when an ATF informant claims a White Aryan Resistance (WAR) leader and a "well-connected" German discussed blowing-up the Murrah building months before McVeigh's arrest, more plot lines scar the landscape than wreckage in the wake of a Texas twister! Who then, are the "others unknown" named in the original federal indictment? For nearly four years, a former Bundeswehr officer with intelligence links, Andreas Strassmeir, was chief of security at a white supremacist commune, Elohim City (EC). Strassmeir is the son of Helmut Kohl's former chief of staff, Guenter Strassmeir, the architect of Germany's annexation of the German Democratic Republic. His assignment with the Panzer Grenadiers, a military unit analogous to U.S. Army Special Forces, was to detect infiltration by Warsaw Pact agents and then feed them disinformation.[5] According to differing versions of the Strassmeir "connection," he may be an international link to the conspiracy or an intelligence "asset" with knowledge of the plot. This much however, is known. Strassmeir taught weapons training and "special warfare tactics" at EC's "covenant community" of rural fascists. When questioned by reporters why he chose to live among _Volk_ who believe Jews are "the spawn of Satan" and that blacks and other people of color are "pre-Adamic mud people," Strassmeir glibly replied, "I was attracted to the alternative lifestyle."[6] Strassmeir denies any involvement in the bombing and claims to have met McVeigh only once, at a 1994 Tulsa gun show, selling the killer a U.S. Navy combat knife and a sheath. But just days before the deadly blast, McVeigh, or someone using his telephone credit card, placed a call to Elohim City. Residents at the compound insist McVeigh was looking for "Andy" -- Strassmeir. The date of the call is crucial, April 5; the day McVeigh rented the Ryder truck used in the attack. ATF informant, Carol Howe, a Tulsa debutante who traded shopping sprees at up-scale boutiques for a stint as a latter-day _Einsatzcommando_, claims Strassmeir and Dennis Mahon, the number three man in WAR's hierarchy, discussed "taking action" against the government.[7] Howe says she overheard Mahon and Strassmeir plot the bombing of government buildings while she lived at Elohim City. Though ATF executives now claim Howe is "unstable and unreliable," they don't deny that she lived at the compound for some months in 1994, that she went there with Mahon, her boyfriend at the time, or that she provided the agency with information relating to the deadly blast. Howe claims she told her ATF contact Angela Finley, "Sometime in November there was a meeting, and Strassmeir and Mahon said it was time to quit talking and go to war. I reported all this to Angie."[8] Howe and Mahon also appeared on German television advocating violence as a legitimate means to bring fascism to power. Mahon's connection to leading German fascists is no passing fancy. Neither is the symbiotic relationship among American and German neo-nazis. By the early 1990s they were beginning to forge operational links. Gary Rex Lauck, a leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party/Overseas Organization (NSDAP/AO), ran his propaganda operation from Lincoln, Nebraska. The largest importer of illegal neo-nazi literature into Germany, Lauck is currently serving a four year prison term for his attempt to revive the Nazi's "dream" of a "Europe of fatherlands." Lauck is a friend and political ally of Dennis Mahon. By the early 1990s amid a wave of racist attacks against immigrants, Jews and leftists, (incited in no small part by the "mainstream" CDU and the "opposition" SPD's capitulation to the fascists over immigration) Lauck, in his role as networker, introduced German bonehead factions to the American Ku Klux Klan. In 1990, Tulsa WAR leader Mahon was then the Imperial Wizard of the White Knights of the KKK when he travelled to Germany. According to ex-fascist, Ingo Hasselbach, the leader of an NSDAP/AO cell known as the National Alternative, Mahon came to Germany "to do a cross burning" in the woods outside Berlin and to hold a series of meetings with Hasselbach's group. Shortly thereafter, German Klansmen and members of Hasselbach's cell launched a commando raid against antifascists occupying an abandoned castle. The combined KKK-NSDAP/AO assault team attacked with automatic rifles and other heavy weapons; a young Dutch anarchist was seriously wounded. What other links may have been forged during this period?[9] After splitting with Mahon in 1994, Howe offered her services to the ATF. For months, she fed information to the agency. ATF documents show that within hours of the blast, agents had been notified about possible connections between the bombing and residents of Elohim City - including Strassmeir. According to a bureau document dated April 21, 1995, agents James R. Blanchard II and Angela Finley talked with Finley's "confidential source," Carol Howe. The report states that Strassmeir "has talked frequently about direct action against the U.S. Government. He is trained in weaponry and has discussed assassinations, bombings and mass shootings."[10] The report relates that, "MEHAUN [Mahon] has talked with CAROL about targeting federal installations for destruction through bombings, such as the IRS Building, the Tulsa Federal Building and the Oklahoma City Federal Building. MEHAUN has also discussed a plan for destroying power lines from Oklahoma City to Catousa, Oklahoma, during the hottest part of the summer. MEHAUN reasons this will create a panic, and without air conditioning, mass race riots would begin." Strassmeir is then mentioned in relation to Elohim City's well-stocked arsenal: "CAROL said EC has .308 rifles, MAC 90s, mini-14s, and various fully automatic weapons. STRASMEYER once bragged about having an M-60 automatic machine gun, but later denied it."[11] Howe even claims she saw McVeigh at Elohim City in December 1994. Though EC elders deny McVeigh ever visited the compound, more than a year earlier on October 12, 1993, McVeigh was stopped for speeding on a lonely stretch of highway on the only road leading into Elohim City.[12] Despite information suggesting wider involvement in the bombing plot, Carol Howe's testimony was ruled "irrelevant" by presiding U.S District Judge Richard P. Matsch during the McVeigh trial. Though McVeigh's attorney, Stephen Jones, has tried to use this information in order to save his client from execution, Howe's statements raise troubling, and legitimate questions which have gone unanswered. But persistent reports linking Strassmeir to McVeigh rely on evidence supplied by other witnesses as well. Several of whom place Strassmeir in the town of Herington, Kansas where McVeigh and alleged co-conspirator, Terry Nichols, bought and stockpiled bomb components used in the attack. Though Strassmeir denies ever having been in Kansas, a young woman who dated McVeigh for two years, her mother, a retired high school coach and his wife, say they spoke with Strassmeir the week before the bombing.[13] The former coach says he and his wife had a conversation with the ex-NATO officer at a lake north of Herington days before the blast. When questioned by a reporter, the man remembers saying to Strassmeir, "Your dialect is really different. Are you a soldier?" Strassmeir said, "No." When he asked him, "Do you work for the government?" Strassmeir "just kind of laughed."[14] Yet despite statements placing him and McVeigh together in Kansas, and an ATF "BOLO" (be on the lookout) for his arrest,[15] for months Strassmeir came and went as he pleased and was not a focus for federal investigators; in fact, they never spoke with him in person. Finally, in January 1996 Strassmeir was allowed to quietly slip out of the country, beating a hasty retreat to his parent's home in Berlin; why? WHO IS ANDREAS STRASSMEIR? Strassmeir claims to be an avid "Civil War buff" who first came to the U.S. in 1988 to attend the 125th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg. He returned in 1989 with hopes of permanently settling in the U.S. Vincent Petruskie, a retired Air Force colonel and father of a Strassmeir acquaintance, says he tried to land him a job with the Drug Enforcement Agency or the Immigration and Naturalization Service. During a series of interviews with the London _Telegraph_, Strassmeir said he was planning to work on a "special assignment" for the Justice Department. But because he didn't have a valid visa, nothing came of it.[16] Afterwards, Strassmeir says he went to Texas and worked as a salesman for a computer firm. From there, he drifted into the racist sub-culture of the Ku Klux Klan, Aryan Nations and the fringe of the Christian Right. In 1991, Strassmeir landed in Elohim City. Claiming a Knoxville address, Strassmeir obtained a Tennessee drivers license. The man who rented him the house, Ray Woodruff, says the German never actually lived there. A retired exterminator, Woodruff says Strassmeir was welcome because he was a like-minded "patriot" who shared his concerns about a government conspiracy to "take away our guns and invade our homes." Woodruff is on the national advisory board of the Council of Conservative Citizens, a right-wing group that evolved from the segregationist Citizens Councils of the 1960s.[17] The Tennessee man says he first met Strassmeir at the Black Mountain, N.C. home of Kirk Lyons, lead attorney with the far- right CAUSE Foundation (Canada, Australia, United States, South Africa, Europe). Lyons, who is Strassmeir's lawyer, says his client is the object of a vendetta by distraught relatives of bombing victims. He also claims that members of McVeigh's defense team circulated his client's picture across Kansas; a charge all four witnesses deny. They say it was the FBI who first showed them the ex-officer's photo.[18] An ubiquitous figure in fascist and "patriot" scenes, Lyons has defended neo-Nazis, Holocaust deniers, members of the Ku Klux Klan and, with blessings from the FBI, he negotiated the surrender of "Christian Patriot" Freemen last year in Montana. According to_Germany Alert_, an antifascist watchdog publication, Lyons has been filmed taking part in neo-Nazi activities in Germany. In other words, while he may be just an average guy doing the Lord's work, how would an attorney linked to neo-nazis come to defend the son of a leading member of Helmut Kohl's CDU?[19] According to Lyons, the ex-officer went to EC to work for cash because he didn't have a valid visa and therefore, couldn't work legally. While the hypocrisy of a rabid immigrant-basher aiding an illegal "Aryan" migrant is too precious not to note, it just doesn't wash. Lyons claims he can show that Strassmeir was nowhere near Kansas or Oklahoma City in the weeks before the blast. His "proof" are a few notes scratched on a Norman Rockwell calendar![20] Strassmeir claims he was mending fences near Elohim City for an elderly woman he and Lyons refuse to identify. Though Strassmeir insists he was working the week before the deadly blast, there are no notations on the calendar between April 9 and 15, a critical time-line when Kansas witnesses claim to have seen the ex-NATO officer in Herington.[21] There are strange events surrounding the identity - and motives - of the mysterious "Civil War buff." In 1992, Strassmeir's station wagon was impounded by the Oklahoma highway patrol for a traffic violation. In typical cop-shop fashion they searched the car and found a collection of documents in Strassmeir's briefcase, some of them in German as well as a copy of _The Terrorist Handbook_, a how-to manual demonstrating "the many techniques and methods used by people...who employ terror as a means to political and social goals." According to tow-truck driver Kenny Pence, Strassmeir brought heavy pressure to bear. "Boy, we caught hell over that one," Pence recalled. "The phone calls came in from the State Department, the Governor's office, and someone called and said he had diplomatic immunity. He was just a weird cookie." Strassmeir says Pence was confused about some of the details but conceded: "Some calls did come in to rattle their cage," he said. "Something must have been said about my father's position."[22] Equally odd is a recently-declassified State Department document interpreted by some researchers as evidence that the German government acted to prevent U.S. officials from investigating Strassmeir's alleged link to the bombing. Published in April by _Germany Alert_, the document claims that German police, intelligence and the Office for the Protection of the Constitution had "no data" on Strassmeir.[23] While the Kohl government postures for the media, claiming their security services have identified "just about" every German involved with neo-Nazism, isn't it curious that the son of a prominent Kohl ally, one with extensive links to North American fascists, is absent from their files? That the head of security for an armed neo-Nazi group with potential ties to a major international terrorist event, would have gone unnoticed by German intelligence is a curious omission indeed! During extensive interviews with reporters Strassmeir says he has "copper-bottomed information" about the bombing and reserved his harshest criticism for the ATF. His statement that, "the ATF had an informant inside this operation. They had advance warning and bungled it," seems to imply first-hand knowledge. Strassmeir told the _Telegraph_, "What they should have done is make an arrest while the bomb was still being made instead of waiting till the last moment for a publicity stunt."[24] When asked whether he thought the informant would ever come forward, Strassmeir said: "How can he? What happens if it was a sting operation from the very beginning? What happens if it comes out that the plant was a provocateur? What then? The relatives of the victims are going to go crazy, and he's going to be held responsible for the murder of 168 people. Of course the informant can't come forward. He's scared stiff right now."[25] In light of the ex-officer's statement, inquiring minds can't help but ask _which_ informant, Carol Howe - or Strassmeir himself? Though federal prosecutors say they now believe McVeigh and Nichols "acted alone," what about sworn statements made by witnesses to the Oklahoma grand jury? Others have already testified they saw McVeigh drive a light-colored sedan with other men inside. One man claims they were following a Ryder truck like the one used to blow up the Murrah building.[26] Who are the "others unknown" whom the feds can't seem to find? And who is Andreas Strassmeir? A stone-cold killer who participated in the plot as Carol Howe alleges, or an informant who's NATO background and German ancestry would make him a perfect intelligence asset for infiltrating the neo-nazi underground? `GROUND ZERO'? Straddling the Arkansas-Oklahoma border, Elohim City has been described as "ground zero" for "Aryan warriors." Though less well-known than Richard Butler's Idaho-based Aryan Nations, Elohim City has a long, tangled history with some of the most violent factions of the far-right. Since its founding by Canadian Christian Identity minister Robert Millar in the 1980s, Elohim City has been home to fugitive members of The Order, Covenant, Sword and Arm of the Lord, and other armed groups, including the bank-robbing Aryan Republican Army (ARA). The ideological roots of the Oklahoma City bombing are intertwined with those of the CSA and The Order. CSA founder James Ellison was a committed Identity fascist; that is, until he became a federal witness and ratted-out his nazi friends. When Posse Comitatus leader Gordon Kahl was shot during a stand-off after killing two cops, Ellison's group issued a declaration of war. Kahl's death galvanized the white supremacist movement. Shortly thereafter, the CSA joined forces with The Order. They were waging war against the "Zionist Occupation Government" or ZOG. Strategic targets for attack included government buildings and other vital infrastructure. One scheme even involved a plan to poison the water supplies of an unnamed city. On August 9, 1983 Ellison helped torch the Metropolitan Community Church in Springfield, Missouri. The MCC serves the queer community and was therefore considered a "legitimate" target. Then on November 2, Snell and CSA member William Thomas bombed a natural gas pipeline in Arkansas with C-4 explosives. [27] In order to wage war, the fascists needed cash, lots of it, so they targeted a pawnshop in Texarkana. They were using the pawnshop stick-up as a dry-run for planned bank robberies. During the heist Snell put a gun to the pawnbroker's head. Assuming the man was Jewish, he pulled the trigger. Snell later told Ellison that the victim "needed to die." Finally on June 30, 1984, Snell was pulled over on a routine traffic stop in rural Arkansas by a black state trooper. When he emerged from the car he was firing and killed the cop. Snell was caught hours later and eventually was sentenced to death.[28] But Richard Snell remained active in the movement, writing for various "patriot" and fascist publications. In 1987 he was indicted by federal authorities along with nine other neo-Nazis on charges of sedition and conspiracy to kill a judge and an FBI agent. The Ft. Smith trial was a disaster for federal prosecutors. While all ten men were acquitted the general schema for future actions by small leaderless cells of armed fascists came to light. Kerry Noble, a former CSA leader turned federal witness told the _Denver Post_ after the Oklahoma City bombing, that Ellison and Snell specifically singled out the Murrah building in conversations he had with them back in 1983. According to Noble, in addition to the Murrah building, CSA militants planned to bomb a number of overpasses on major highways around Dallas.[29] Noble believes the reason the Murrah building was chosen as a target was its "low security; so many government offices in the same building, in the middle of America - the heartland... No one would suspect it...We knew nobody would expect it."[30] And retired FBI agent Jack Knox believes Snell maintained communication links to people "in the movement." Snell was thought of fondly in Elohim City; though he would soon be buried there, Knox believes that the Oklahoma City blast "might be...in memory of him."[31] As the date of Snell's execution approached, others were fearful. A former high-ranking Arkansas prison official, Alan Ables, said he was so concerned that he took "extraordinary personal precautions" the day of the execution. Ables also said that on four or five occasions during the days before his death, Snell insisted that "there was going to be a bomb, there was going to be an explosion" and that somebody from the Mideast would be blamed.[32] Snell knew the racist nature of the system he claimed to oppose. In the wake of the blast, the media paraded a stream of right-wing "terrorism experts" before the cameras who swore the origins of the bombing "lay in the Middle East" - as did the FBI. But Richard Snell knew better. At 9:02 A.M. on April 19, 1995, two tons of fertilizer and racing fuel exploded outside the Murrah building. In the hours before his scheduled 9 P.M. death, the former prison official recalled that Snell chuckled and laughed as he watched television coverage of the Oklahoma City bombing. Alan Ables clearly remembers Richard Snell's final words: "Governor Tucker, look over your shoulder, I wouldn't trade places with any of you or any of your political cronies. Hell has victory, I'm at peace."[33] CASE CLOSED? Cracks in the federal government's carefully-crafted bombing scenario threaten to become huge gaping holes. Neo-nazi debutante Carol Howe believes she supplied authorities with enough information to stop the Oklahoma City bombing. Howe and grieving family members wonder why nothing was done. Answers to this question may lie with ATF agent Angela Finley's recently published transcripts. By December 1994, ATF executives were alarmed by the direction taken by Finley's interviews with Carol Howe. The bureau began to plan a raid on Elohim City. The ATF intended to arrest Strassmeir and other residents on weapons charges, yet the raid never took place. Howe told Finley that WAR leader Mahon claimed he knew how to make bombs and even bragged about exploding a 500-pound ammonium nitrate bomb under a truck in Michigan five years earlier.[34] Other cracks in the government's wall of silence around the nazi compound have also appeared. Despite repeated assertions by federal investigators that McVeigh had only a passing connection to Elohim City, Finley's notes show otherwise. Months before the blast, Howe said Mahon and Strassmeir discussed someone named "Tim Tuttle," an alias federal prosecutors say was used by Timothy McVeigh.[35] If the theory advanced by those who forced an Oklahoma grand jury to convene is correct, that the bombing resulted from a bungled "sting" operation involving a jurisdictional turf war between competing federal agencies, that theory was bolstered in a Tulsa courtroom on June 30. During a pre-trial hearing on Carol Howe's indictment on unrelated bomb charges, local reporters claimed "near pandemonium" broke out in the courtroom when an FBI agent testified that Christian Identity fascist, Robert Millar, _was an FBI informant_.[36] Since Carol Howe told the ATF months before the Murrah building blast that Millar urged compound residents to take action against the state, this revelation potentially transforms EC's spiritual guru from a marginal figure on the edge of Oklahoma City's tangled web into an _agent provocateur_. If nothing else, it sheds new light on FBI statements that Millar is not an active subject of their investigation! With this in mind, what is one to make of the excerpt from agent Finley's field notes, dated January 1, 1995? Howe relates that, "During the Sabbath meeting Millar gave a sermon soliciting violence against the United States government. He brought forth his soldiers and instructed them to take whatever actions necessary against the United States government."[37] Was the Murrah building bombing "necessary" in order to exact vengeance for Waco and Richard Snell? The key to the mystery of what role Millar played may hinge on _when_ the FBI "turned" him. If he was an informant before the blast, Millar may have been a provocateur for his FBI handlers. If he became a snitch after the blast, Millar may be covering for others - his own granddaughter and her new husband perhaps, convicted Aryan Republican Army bank robber, Michael Brescia - Herr Strassmeir's Elohim City roommate! And who were "the soldiers" Rev. Millar "brought forth"? Though the FBI claims to have interviewed more than 20,000 people during their investigation, the bureau has yet to speak with one "soldier," the man whom British immigration officials called a terrorist when they barred him entry into Britain - Dennis Mahon. In July he refused to testify before the Oklahoma grand jury. Claiming his rights under the fifth amendment, Mahon said that without immunity he won't talk. Reporters wryly noted Mahon didn't provide details of what he needed immunity from.[38] And so we come full circle. In the two intervening years since the deadly blast, many troubling questions cast doubt on the government's premise that McVeigh and Nichols "acted alone." Some of the evidence strongly suggests that federal prosecutors and the FBI have not pursued promising investigative avenues that point to a wider conspiracy, one fueled by the genocidal fantasies of Adolf Hitler's heirs.
