That's most of the way there, you are missing Bob Hawke helping the CIA and state department overthrow Whitlam then the financial deregulation when he became prime Minister which set the stage for rothwells to fund BCCI.

Finished Aberration in the Heartland of the Real. My theory: McVeigh was a hosed up mix of all 4 main King of the Hill characters who ended up entering a network of extremist Far Right and anti-government political groups. About a quarter of these groups' members were informants and a few were undercover FBI. True believers or provocateurs (most likely a mix if we think the idea was conceived at Elohim City) came up with the plan to strike back after Waco and Ruby Ridge, and the Feds thus became aware of a bombing plot in the works, specifically one targeting the Murrah building. However, the use of independent cells (let's say, around 12 people total) meant that not all of the informants knew the chosen target - one cell robbed Moore for funds, one cell gathered the materials, one cell built the bomb, but only a few individuals had the full plan. Because of this, even an undercover FBI agent embedded in the conspiracy couldn't give his bosses an accurate time frame. They got the anchor leg team together for the final approach and to collect the bomb from that cell. An agent at this point might've been assured by handlers that the bomb wouldn't detonate. At this time, the Feds, who had been involved in the plot from conception to fundraising to material assistance, realized that there was an assembled truck bomb ready to go, and freaked the gently caress out. They sent EOD teams to the Murrah the morning of the bombing, which they already knew was the probable target, but failed to find anything because it hadn't been dropped off yet, and they don't know the date it's supposed to happen, so they conserve energy for the next day.

Immediately after the bombing they understand how badly they just hosed up and that John Doe Number 2 was one of theirs and take the security cameras.

I don't buy the guilty agent thing or the MK ultra stuff, because McVeigh's letters read to me as someone who would absolutely delude themselves into believing they'd been given a mission by a secretive authority. The more he muddies the waters, the deeper they seem to anyone who's looking, and the less pathetic and schizo McVeigh looks. Caro poo poo, basically. Similarly, I don't read too much into the McVeigh doubles, as this is probably the terrorists trying to confuse surveillance and operating under each others' names, or mistaken witnesses.

But let's just think about what we can infer from the known facts: 1. The secret police knew that a bombing attempt would be made, because they sent EOD teams the morning of the attack. 2. They knew that there were other co-conspirators, or they would not have tortured and killed Kenneth Trentadue after mistaking him for an ARA bank robber. 3. They do not want information about certain co-conspirators to come out, or they would not stonewall any investigation into the bombing or kill Terrance Yeakey. 1 and 3 imply embedded informants or operatives. 2 implies that they're pissed off at someone, and aren't letting sleeping dogs lie. Taken together, I think the objective of a foiled plot was itself derailed by true believers. Alternatively, the torture was just to try to find the locations of the loose ends and this was secret police from start to finish, and, as Painting points out, the militia movement entered a long period of decline after this act. But while the FBI isn't a monolith, if they wanted the building to explode, they wouldn't have sent the EOD team in the morning.

To help Dulles, and maybe to spy on him, RFK/LBJ send Tom Finney along as well. Finney was an associate of Clark Clifford, who you may know for his association with the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). LBJ spoke to Finney the same day.

I think they're misreading this part by not thinking from the mindset of a criminal. The ruling class always speak in noble "clean"/"legitimate" euphemisms, even to each other with no outsiders to their schemes present. You never know who's eavesdropping.

Finney was not unwanted company for Dulles; he was going to be sent there to brief Dulles and clue him in about the real poo poo that couldn't be talked about over the phone. Dulles gets there first, then he gets his assignment. Whatever dark poo poo it was this time.

Speaking this way just becomes a part of life when everyone you know is hiding each others' crimes all day. Everyone knows what is really meant.

Yeah

It's one of those things i feel is hard to explain but at that level a lot of people end up using lanuage in such a way that there is almost always both intended exoteric and esoteric meaning. It's mostly a question of, are you read into the idiom well enough to infer secondary meaning?

At least with this stuff it's on the less clever side of that stuff so it's easy to interpret now that we are decades after the fact but makes ya wonder what passes under the noses of credulous people basically nonstop all the time lol

Also Oswald wanted to kill the Governor, John Connolly. He didn't care about Kennedy, he hated Connolly. He literally wrote in a journal that he was going to kill Connolly and the Warren commission ended up hiding the evidence of his kill list

Yeah, my feeling is that they were psyching him up to kill Gen. Edwin Walker but he hosed that up pretty bad so they didn't give a lot of credence when he started spouting off about Kennedy.

My basic reasoning on that is that the CIA has to do a weird scrambling coverup after the Kennedy assassination and it reads to me that they weren't prepared for what happened. Also, as a returned defector, it would be very weird for the intelligence community to not have a bigass file on Oswald and him "slipping through the cracks" and killing Kennedy despite that attention has always been a weird fit. Everything that went on in the aftermath of Kennedy being shot is way more Burn After Reading than James Bond.

I don't think they were unhappy that one of their assets killed Kennedy, mind you, it just has all the marks of a bunch of people scrambling, but then I'm one of those weird people who thinks he actually got accidentally domed by the Secret Service because it's the dumbest loving thing so it must be true.

the secret service loving up is funny but nah, the cia did it. dulles + a large chunk of the cia + a chunk of cuban assets all had motives and means. All the fake poo poo commie and fair play for cuba poo poo that was obviously there to bolster Oswald's credibility as an assassin- to say nothing of ruby's connection to the exact kind of organized crime that wanted back in cuba, and was really mad at the kennedies- there's no goddamn way it's just the secret service bumbling their way into the funniest outcome, and i'm sorry because i want it

also it's sloppy because the cia is run in the exact way insane dogmatic free market capitalists would run something. This was especially so back then. It's about throwing money at a problem and watching a bunch of semi-autonomous cells who are accountable to basically no one scramble to get the job done. In the consolidation of "what happened" after the fact, there are tons of weird loose threads because the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, hth
