Dear Editor, Please read this article below. It's facts show that just
because an agency is part of our Government, does NOT MEAN it works in the
people's best interests. Today most agencies work for the interests of
Corporate America, however the coming Police state is not really for
corporate gain, but to control the people so top officials can do whatever
they please(ie give away everything in this country to the corporations -
don't believe me? check what the top corporations paid in taxes last year -
many like GE paid LESS THAN ZERO IN TAXES)
Now as Congress debates IN SECRET, the Patriot act they want to give the FBI
even more power - WITH ABSOLUTELY NO JUDICIAL OVERSIGHT - THAT IS PURE
INSANITY, what will it do to make us "safer"? NOTHING, WE WILL BE LESS
SAFE - JUST ASK Kenneth Trentadue's family or the Branch Davidians . Giving
UNCHECKED POWER is asking for abuse of the AMERICAN PEOPLE BY IT'S OWN
GOVERNMENT. What is the reason? Simple, power hungry people like Bush,
Rove, Cheney etc want to KEEP THEIR POWER. People in that position GET
NERVOUS and PARANOID so they need to "check up" on folks who may do
something to the "nation". Just like the Salam Witch trials, the McCarthy
Era witchhunts of the "communists" and other dirty smears of American
history when THE GOVERNMENT WENT AFTER IT'S OWN PEOPLE, A DARK TIME IS
COMING UNLESS YOU - THE MEDIA, DO YOUR JOB AND UNCOVER THE LIES, DECEPTION
AND ILL INTENTION BY THE MEN AT THE TOP. Right now the media is doing the
dirty work of the White House and Corporate America - not telling us the
truth about what is happening. For example, the LA times just reported that
not a single picture of a dead soldier has been printed in the top 6
newspapers + Newsweek and Time magazine in the last 6 months - over 500
deaths - not a single photo to honor our fallen heros. OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF
MIND, censorship is UNAMERICAN.

Paul Craig Roberts: Uncovering a DOJ Coverup
http://www.counterpunch.org/roberts05262005.htmlMay 26, 2005
The FBI, the Torture and Murder of Kenneth Trentadue and Advanced Knowledge
of the Oklahoma City Bombing
Uncovering a DOJ Coverup
By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS
In 1995 Kenneth Trentadue was murdered by federal agents in a federal prison
in Oklahoma City. A coverup immediately went into effect. Federal
authorities claimed Trentadue, who was being held in a suicide-proof cell,
had committed suicide by hanging himself, but the state coroner would not
buy the story.
Prison authorities tried to get family consent to cremate the body. But
Trentadue had been picked up on a minor parole violation, and the story of
suicide by a happily married man delighted with his two-month old son raised
red flags to the family.
When the Trentadue family received Kenneth's body and heavy makeup was
scraped away, the evidence (available in photos on the Internet) clearly
shows a person who had been tortured and beaten. His throat was slashed and
he may have been garroted. There are bruises, burns and cuts from the soles
of Trentadue's feet to his head, wounds that obviously were not
self-inflicted.
As the state coroner noted at the time, every investigative rule was broken
by the federal prison. The coroner was not allowed into the cell, and the
cell was scrubbed down prior to investigation.
The federal coverup was completely transparent. A US senator made inquiries,
but the US Department of Justice (sic), knowing that it would not be held
accountable, stuck to its fabricated story.
That was a mistake.
Trentadue's brother, Jesse, is an attorney. He believes that federal
officials, like everyone else, must be held accountable for their crimes.
He has been battling the Justice Department and the FBI for a decade.
Jesse Trentadue has amassed evidence that his brother was mistaken for Tim
McVeigh's alleged accomplice in the bombing of the federal building in
Oklahoma City. Federal agents, believing that they had Richard Lee Guthrie
in their hands, went too far in attempting to force him to talk.
Jesse Trentadue learned that the FBI had informants planted with two groups
on which McVeigh may have relied: a white supremacist paramilitary training
compound at Elohim City and the Mid-West Bank Robbery Gang. The implication
is that the FBI had advance notice of McVeigh's plans and may have been
conducting a sting operation that went awry.
The FBI has documents that name the informants. Teletypes from then FBI
director Louis Freeh dated January 4, 1996, and August 23, 1996, confirm
that the FBI had informants imbedded with the Mid-West Bank Robbery Gang and
in Elohim City. In these documents, Freeh reports to various FBI field
offices that the Elohim City informant (possibly explosives expert and
German national Andreas Carl Strassmeir) "allegedly has had a lengthy
relationship with Timothy McVeigh" and "that McVeigh had placed a telephone
call to Elohim City on 4/5/95, a day that he was believed to have been
attempting to recruit a second conspirator to assist in the OKBOMB attack."
The FBI denied to federal judge Dale Kimball that any such documents
existed. But someone had leaked the teletypes to Trentadue, and he put them
before the judge along with an affidavit of their genuineness. Caught
red-handed lying to a federal judge, the FBI was ordered to produce all
documents Trentadue demanded. Judge Kimball gave the FBI until June 15,
2005, to deliver the incriminating records. Needless to say, the FBI doesn't
want to deliver and is attempting every possible dodge to escape obeying the
judge's order.
In his effort to uncover the DOJ's coverup of his brother's murder, Jesse
Trentadue may have uncovered evidence of the FBI's failure to prevent the
bombing of the Murrah Building. It is bad enough that the murder of Kenneth
Trentadue is covered over with many layers of DOJ perjury and the
withholding and destruction of evidence.
Evidence that the FBI was aware of McVeigh's plan to bomb the Murrah
Building and failed to prevent the deed would be an additional heavy blow to
the prestige of federal law enforcement.
