Paralells With Oklahoma City -------------------------------

12 MAY 2001 UPDATE: - The news today concerning alleged Oklahoma City Bomber Timothy McVeigh that the FBI under the infamous CLINTON Administration and Janet Reno WITHHELD scores of documents from McVeigh's lawyer needs noting on this site. Many people have heard the assessment by the US Army explosives expert that bomb that actually destroyed the building was not the bomb McVeigh was alleged to have set and that it is likely 2 bombs went off - McVeigh's which did little damage and the second one attached to the pillars which destroyed the building. ( Picture - Timothy McVeigh during the Gulf War ).

It was reported on Australian ABC Radio this day those documents revealed the FBI had concluded the bomb that destroyed the building was planted by persons unknown.

There are a great number of similarities bewteen Oklahoma City and Port Arthur not apart from the fact Port Arthur was just a year after Oklahoma City. The question must be asked were similar people involved and because they got away with Oklahoma City did they thought they could get away with moving on and pulling a similar stunt elsewhere in the world - like in Tasmania ? Those similarities include: having a fall guy for the real perpetrators; selected staff being sent elsewhere on the day; protection for the real offenders and subsequent coverup of the operation.

This site calls on the Australian Government to release all documents relating to Port Arthur they have been covering up.

US Attorney General John Ashcroft's decision to delay the sentence of McVeigh in contrast shows a degree of propriety that is absent and lacking in Australian Attorney General Darryl Williams and Justice Minister Amanda Vanstone. In recent times Vanstone has spent a great amount of time and public money on a CRIMTRAC system to track and maticulously monitor both current and past offenders to the finest detail yet has shown no interest whatsover wanting to investigate all these irregularities relating to Port Arthur despite them being brought to her attention. The question must be asked why is that ?

This site asks Amercian readers to write to US Attorney General John Ashcroft calling on him to investigate the Port Arthur incident. It is within his jurisdiction as US tourists were at Port Arthur that day and were shot at and it is his responsibility to protect US citizens from terrorism around the world ( Vancoover, Washinton State resident Dennis Olson was wounded in the cafe ). It should also be pointed out to him the gun laws imposed on Australians following this incident have adversely affected US firearm and ammunition makers export sales to Australia to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars and loss of US trade and foreign exhange earnings at a time when the US is running a massive trade deficit.
