On August 24, 1995, the same day Solano faxed Gagan's handwritten note to Myers and Media Bypass, Cary Gagan was grabbed and beaten by three Middle Easterners who said they were "Soldiers of Allah." He was hospitalized with a severe concussion.

While it is difficult to prove everything Gagan says is true, the Oklahomans for Truth Committee has not disproved anything about his testimony. What can be proven far beyond any reasonable doubt is that 1] Gagan had written immunity from the feds; 2] Gagan kept motel, gasoline receipts, and plane tickets which document his trips on the specific dates in question, as well as hospital records of the beatings he took later in an apparent attempt to shut him up; and 3] Gagan issued letters of warning to the Denver authorities on March 27th and April 6th of '95 that the bombing was coming down. There appears to be no doubt that, as he says, "They let it happen."

The accompanying letter from Billy Bayer, a Denver cab driver and Cary Gagan's lifelong and trusted friend who delivered the package to the U.S. Marshals on Gagan's behalf on April 6th proves the veracity of the most important claim. He reminds us that the cab company records will also reflect his stop at the courthouse, as well as the video surveillance cameras on the scene.

However, let us remember, neither the Oklahoma Citizens Committee nor Gagan have to prove that every detail of his story is true. We are presenting his alleged facts and claims and challenge the FBI and Justice Department to answer these charges and prove that it is not true. Gagan, incidentally, is a college graduate who taught school in the Denver public school system. He has filed a Freedom of Information Act motion with the court to demand return of his private papers given to attorney Stephen Jones, who has refused to turn them loose.

This leads us to the charade of defense put on by Stephen Jones, who previously instigated a deception over civil attorney John DeCamp to enable the Murrah Building shell to be detonated only 34 days after the crime and prior to examination. DeCamp was on our radio show twice in the past, explaining how Jones hoodwinked him. There is evidence to show that Jones was in duplicity with the government prosecutors from the beginning, but then we must remember that he was paid $15+ million for his services as a government-appointed attorney. That figure is certainly sufficient to maintain control over a situation. (See sidebar: "How the Defense Hoodwinked Decamp.")

Gagan's April 10th trip to Dwight, Kansas - which he claims was instigated by the FBI - appears to have been another subterfuge to further cement the "bomb-building guilt" of McVeigh and Nichols, as well as implicate Gagan later.

Dwight is 30 miles from Nichol's home in Herrington, and about the same in other directions from Geary State Park and Junction City, where the Ryder truck was rented. Gagan has believed since day one that this was an attempt by prosecutors to get rid of him by implicating him in the crime. But then they suddenly backed off and did not use this piece at the 1997 trial, after including it in the 1995 indictment.

"Why not?" we asked author and investigative reporter Bob Papovich, who has become an authority on the case and had a prison interview with Tim McVeigh earlier this year. "Because it had too many holes in it," he replied.

Indeed, it did. The prosecution team got caught in its uncarefully woven web of deception when their own charges placed McVeigh in both Arizona and Kansas on the same day. They had to disallow one or the other. With Gagan's original handwritten note to the U. S. Marshals having been published nationally (Media Bypass - Oct. '95) and his immunity papers already in the hands of defense attorneys, it undoubtedly became obvious to them that this was a can of worms which should remain sealed.

In August of 1995, Brad Edwards, reporter for KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City told Cary Gagen that they had sent a private investigator to Denver to trail him in order to see what they might learn. Edwards was bemused by the fact that the P. I.'s report came back saying "everywhere that Gagan went, the FBI was trailing him, too." Aware of this at the time, Gagan had frustrated the efforts of both by taking a bus at various intervals.

The Oklahoma City bombing case was the biggest mass murder in the history of America. It also may be the biggest documented cover-up by judicial authorities on record - judging from what we know vs. what was allowed at trial and reported worldwide.

One of the most damning pieces of false evidence presented at Terry Nichols' trial was the alleged armed robbery alleged to have taken place at the home of Roger Moore in Arkansas the first weekend of November, 1994. This was blamed on McVeigh and Nichols and was designed to portray that the two used this loot to finance their operation.

However, it proved useless in the first trial when the defense produced a motel registry in McVeigh's handwriting where he was at a gun show in Ohio that weekend. McVeigh could not be in two places at the same time, and the proof was obvious that he definitely was not in Arkansas on the date in question. In the Nichols trial Karen Anderson, Moore's live-in girlfriend, produced a list of serial numbers from guns "stolen" from their home and later "found" in Nichols' home. However, with receipts, the defense showed the court how one of these weapons had been purchased and registered with BATF by Terry from a sporting goods store in Michigan long after the list was written by Anderson. It would have been impossible for Anderson to have prepared a list which included this gun. The list was obviously a phony, deceptively prepared by the prosecution. (See Bob Papovich's sidebar on "Perjury.")

Gen. Partin was never called to trial as an expert witness to show what really happened inside the building. This would have been to point out that if ANFO didn't do it, then Tim McVeigh didn't either. BATF official Harry Eberhart (See M/B, November '98) was quietly ignored and never asked just what he was doing on the scene, when his project had been to test ANFO explosives in the New Mexico desert to guard against domestic terrorist attacks within our borders. It was Eberhart's phone call, immediately after the blasts, to the Dallas BATF office which initiated the original charade of ANFO being responsible.

With so many facts showing that it would have been impossible for McVeigh and Nichols to have been behind this "very sophisticated operation" (Governor Frank Keating, 11:00 a.m., 4/19/95), We the People must now ask ourselves:

Who did have the technical expertise and access to the Murrah Building enabling them to plant four bombs at the third floor columns?

Who had the power to not only silence but completely reverse the early news reports of the multiple explosions (seen and heard by hundreds of witnesses) and the two unexploded bombs found in the debris?

Who decided at the last moment to initiate the warning call to voice mail receivers of all the BATF agents, instructing them not to come to work that morning?

Who had the controlling influence to distort the bombing facts, keep the truth off the airwaves day after day, and ensure that only government-approved lies would be reported on the national news?

When federal agents normally react swiftly to any warning or perceived threat against Presidents, Congressmen, and even lowly bureaucrats, why were Cary Gagan's repeated documented warnings and phone calls ignored for more than seven months?

Who are the ultimate individuals at the top who "let it happen?"

Once a target audience believes in something, based on the statement of a credible leader and backed by trusted institutions, it becomes difficult to dislodge that belief - even with massive and overwhelming evidence produced to the contrary. And when a leader, supported by the news media, creates belief based on a direct lie in a confused situation, where contradictory evidence is so difficult to determine because of deliberate suppression, then it can reasonably be expected that the truth may never prevail.

In some instances, it takes the passage of considerable time, sometimes generations, before societies can accept the fact that certain historically held beliefs were false, and based solely on lies. This has been the case in almost every political assassination and war provocation in American history - e.g. Lincoln, Kennedy brothers, M. L. King, Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin, etc., and the most recent JFK news report that the bronze casket which once contained his body was not buried at Arlington but dropped in the Atlantic Ocean by an Air Force plane in 1965.
