Well, now that the government's Pay Per View killing of Timothy McVeigh is less than a month away, the disinformation campaign seems to be ramping up in order to self-servingly spin his crime. Witness the following pious piece of crap making the Email route around the Net. Comments in [] are mine.
From OKC Fireman
I hope that Tuesday when Tim McVeighs Book hits the newsstands, that NO ONE WILL BUY THIS BOOK.
[Perhaps we should make "intentionally looking" at the book a crime.]
This man is being given too much publicity and shows NO REMORSE for the horrible crime that he committed.
[All the publicity I've seen is from anti-McVeigh folk unhappy that the Sheeple need additional nips at their heels to "Baaaaaaaaaaaaaa" convincingly and in unison. I keep thinking of bomber pilot who fired a two-thousand pound concrete and steel piercing munition into an air raid shelter full of civilians, including children, in Iraq. When's the last time you heard anything about his "REMORSE" on the tube?]
He has admitted he is guilty.
[Yes, Tim McVeigh, a veteran of the Persial Gulf War, which killed a hundred thousand people during the war, and a million and a half afterwards by wrecking the Iraqi economy, returned home to the US, and judged the US Government's behavior at Waco by the same standards he had been taught to use against the Iraqis. Hey, it's not our fault the government didn't deprogram their killer before returning him to civilian life, and he still had a conscience left. You better put some ice on that, Oklahoma.]
He refers to the precious 19 children he murdered as "collateral Damage" and his only regret is that "their deaths proved to be a public relations nightmare that undercut his cause" ...
OF ALL THE GALL!!!!
[Seems to be that "collateral damage" has always the government's favorite term for all the civilians that got blown up, napalmed, shot, and otherwise met a sticky end because we were targeting something nearby and they were in the way. I don't recall anyone saying "OF ALL THE GALL" when the Pentagon spokesperson joked about the unlucky civilians who just happened to be crossing the bridge when we blew it up. Of course, they doctored the video by running it faster to make it look like there was no time to make any other decision. Clever, these spokes-weasels. Perhaps the term "collateral damage" will now be retired because of its association with Tim McVeigh. Perhaps the government could hold a jingle-writing contest to coin a new term for humans in the way when America, the country that never apologizes, chooses to send a political message with bombs and tanks. Of course, if the 19 kids had been in an Iraqi government building, we would be referring to them by the politically correct terminology - "Human Shields."]
The Pictures of these children and the adults will always be in our minds...
[The advantage of being able to give the victims unlimited airtime to gripe over their loss. When's the last time you saw a 1-hour special of the Waco Victims' favorite family videos? No firemen holding dead babies for the cameras there. Hey, did we ever rebuild all those neighborhoods we flattened in Panama?]
168 innocent people died that day. This man murdered them ... please do not make him some sort of hero ..He wants part of the proceeds to go to the Oklahoma City Memorial ...
[How innocent are civilians, really? They pay their taxes. They buy the bombs. Sometimes, as happened recently in the Zionist Entity, they elect a mass-murdering war criminal as their leader in an overwhelming landslide. The notion of not attacking civilian populations is really a very recent invention. Convenient, at the present time, for the US to bray mightily over.]
the OKC MEMORIAL Declines the money......
Send the Money to the Memorial ......
but PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK....!!!!!!
Thank you.... and remember the precious children. so innocent....
[Well, precious when it is convenient for their charred bodies to be featured in a photo opportunity, for political purposes. Sentient property for most other functions they are made to perform.]
Please pass this on to everyone you know, so this monster does not get any more publicity, that is all he wants is the publicity.
[Oh, I don't believe for an instant Tim McVeigh blew up the Murrah building because he wanted to become famous. It was a calculated political act, for which he expected to sacrifice his life, in order to create "consequences of significance" for the government, for its behavior at Waco, Ruby Ridge, and numerous other places. We may disagree with what he did, but let's not play propaganda games by trying to trivialize and belittle his actions, and portray them as some attempt at shameless self-promotion.]
Paul Hinchey, Captain Guymon Fire Dept. Guymon, OK
Thank-you, Paul. You may go and polish the fire truck now. George Orwell once characterized the future as a "boot stomping on a human face, forever." A better picture of the future might be a decorated Gulf War veteran, strapped to a board, needles injecting poison into his veins, while an enraptured audience of hundreds watches on TV, and the voice of Big Brother explains to them that this is what happens to people who confuse Truefacts with Goodfacts. There are few more dangerous lines that a government may cross, than to kill citizens for committing purely political acts, even when those acts result in massive loss of life. In an ideal world, McVeigh would be a soldier who malfunctioned, a person to be pitied. Of course, in an ideal world, the acts which drove McVeigh to act would never have been committed. Time will tell whether the McVeigh execution will appease the families of those his bomb killed and injured. Time will also tell if this closed-circuit demonstration of unstoppable government power against the individual will create another thousand Timothy McVeighs. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.
