The government has prosecuted dozens of individuals for planning to bomb the OK city Federal Building (including executed murderers). It has long been listed as a target of choice for anti-government paramilitarists.

Can somebody confirm this? Cite?

Below, from the cypherpunks archives: ------------------- As MediaFilter reported: The March edition of Taking Aim, the newsletter of the Militia of Montana, issued a call to arms for April 19, the day of the Oklahoma blast: Federal prosecutors in (Richard Snell's) the '88 trial claimed that the '83 plot_which included counterfeiting, armed robberies and plans to assassinate federal judges and the Arkansas FBI chief_was to begin with the detonation of a truck bomb at the Oklahoma City Federal Building. All of the defendants were acquitted. But that very same building would be blown up by a truck bomb on the very day of Richard Snell's execution. Snell died knowing of the explosion. His last words were a warning to Arkansas Governor Guy Tucker: "Look over your shoulder, justice is on the way..." TruthBomber ----------------------- Planning the bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal Building has long been as standard an exercise for paramilitarists as typing "The quick brown fox..." has been for typists. The trial mentioned above is not the only one in which the targeting of the OKC Federal Building was involved as a goal of paramilitary objectives. To think that federal security personnel in Oklahoma City were unaware of this is ludicrous. The fact that they allowed a daycare to be placed there (or perhaps initiated the action) is as criminal an act as the bombing itself. Naturally, there will be no trial or investigation of government criminality in this regard, but only of the actions of anti-government criminals. Freedom and liberty in the world is not in the hands of the citizens, but in the hands of those who are concerned about it. (The same as high-fashion or many other mental constructs.) There may not be an overt war taking place between the average citizen and the government, but there is one taking place between the government and those who oppose the draconian limitations being placed on their freedom and liberty under the guise of "rule of law."
