"The Meaning of Timothy McVeigh," by Gore Vidal, Vanity Fair, September, 2001:

But I've left you behind in the Ravello garden of Klingsor, where, live on television, I mentioned the unmentionable word "why," followed by the atomic trigger word "Waco." Charles Gibson, 3,500 miles away, began to hyperventilate. "Now, wait a minute…" he interrupted. But I talked through him. Suddenly I heard him say, "We're having trouble with the audio." Then he pulled the plug that linked ABC and me. The soundman beside me shook his head. "Audio was working perfectly. He just cut you off." So, in addition to the governmental shredding of Amendments 4,5,6,8, and 14, Mr. Gibson switched off the journalists' sacred First.

COLUMBIA SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM

[w3QHxwNb]

The value of a true intellectual is his knowledge of history & philosophy combined with a solid determination to seek the truth.. At least as he sees it.

The truth seeking is what others lack.. Without that, you can write a mountain of letters, but no one is edified by reading them.. It's just a waste of time and paper.

An intellectual who sets out to propagandize or make excuses is nothing but a hack.. It's why people snicker when they hear the term. Because we've got an ocean of them, and they're all babbling nonsense because they have agendas.. Their thoughts are pointless...

Tom Friedman is their king.. Or at least a prince.. The right has their share too.. Bill Kristol is a prominent one..

I would point out some of the many atrocities of the Federals in collusion with the media. How they lied
about the Branch Davidians, claiming child abuse, drug dealing and illegal weapons, even after the State of
Texas had investigated and found the claims baseless. How they could have arrested Koresh at any time,
out jogging or eating at a local cafe. How they had no legal warrant. How they doctored a video to
demonize him. He was accused of getting a seventy-some year old woman pregnant and joked that if he
could do so, he must be God. The Feds and media took the last three words, "I am God" and played them
alone and out of context repeatedly on national TV to demonize Koresh. Then, there were 51 days of
mental torture as the Federals broadcast the sound of animals being slaughtered into the church grounds
filled with terrified women and children. And finally, as men, women and children were burned alive, the
Federals danced about giving each other high fives and cheering for the real Texas barbeque. At Ruby
Ridge federal assassins set out to murder a White family because they were White and wished to live
among and preserve their own kind. But that was not E Pluribus Unum, so they had to die. They shot a boy
in the back and killed him. They blew off a woman's head as she held her baby. They sniped and injured
two others. They knew the mother was dead. Then for nine days they broadcast taunts into the terrified
survivors, including little children. What manner of inhuman, murdering, torturing thugs and devils do such
things? Then, I would tell the jury, "The same ones present false evidence and perjured testimony against
me in order to draw attention away from their own atrocities."
D. Lane, in an open letter to Tim McVeigh

What manner of inhuman, murdering, torturing thugs and devils do such things? Indeed..

[Styparty]

Indeed..

Mr. Lane warned us........over and over and over.

Only the founders warned us more........

[Casyimipist]

No one was ever punished.. The fucktard GOP impeached Clinton over Monica Lewinski.

Nothing about those murders. He went on to collect 6 figures per speaking engagement.

Yup.

IMO, Vidal was right.......asking Tim Mcveigh, 'WHY'...........was what NO ONE wanted to happen.

[kHy87gPC]

Yup.

IMO, Vidal was right.......asking Tim Mcveigh, 'WHY'...........was what NO ONE wanted to happen.

And we've had one murderous executive after another since that point.. None have been held to account for their evil..

One of these days, we're going to get one who turns his sights on us all..

[yasalaioqe]

And few in the MSM had the balls to say it, either.. disgusting.

[77rexulceme]

The terrorist assault and siege against the Branch Davidian church in Waco, Texas began on SUNDAY, February 28, 1993.

[saerensenatljn]

A nice touch..
