OKLAHOMA CITY -
Hundreds of people gathered inside a church near the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum Friday to mark 18 years since the Murrah Federal Building bombing.
Because of the weather, some changes were made to the ceremony.
In previous years, the remembrance ceremony was held outside on the memorial grounds. Because of the damp grounds at the site and the cold temperatures, organizers moved the ceremony inside to the First United Methodist church located nearby.
The ceremony began at 8:55 a.m. At 9:02 a.m., there were 168 seconds of silence to honor the lives lost that day.

Federal agents raided the compound Feb. 28, 1993, trying to arrest sect leader David Koresh for stockpiling illegal weapons. But the group had been tipped off about the raid and a shootout ensued. Four agents and six Davidians were killed. During the standoff, several women and children left the compound. But on April 19, nearly 80 sect members died when the compound burned after tear gas was fired into the building.OKLAHOMA CITY -

“Remember, President Clinton reconnected through Oklahoma, right?” said Penn on Chris Matthews’ Hardball show on Thursday. “And the president right now seems removed. It wasn’t until that speech [after the bombing] that [Clinton] really clicked with the American public. Obama needs a similar” defining moment, according to Penn.
Clinton realized a boost in his popularity ratings after the attack. On the day of the attack, April 19, 1995, Clinton had a 46 percent approval rating. A few days later, after delivering a speech on the attack, a Time/CNN poll revealed his approval had jumped to 60 percent. It subsequently slipped to 42 percent the following month.

The October Surprise Is Coming

The October Surprise. We all know it’s coming. In what shape, idea, form — who’s to say? Evil always surprises. Its goals are constant, the ultimate objective never changes, but inevitably it manifests itself as the savior of the day, the savior of man. The 2008 Democrat October Surprise that ushered in the first hardcore radical post-American president in American history was the “economic collapse.” Oh yes, that was a beaut.
But the party of haters, infiltrators, anti-capitalists, the party that is anti-freedom and anti-individual rights, is going to have to pull off something really catastrophic to stay in power this November

Popular talk show host Michael Savage has warned that the “illegitimate” Obama regime is planning to use agent provocateurs to stage violence or acts of terror in order to frame Tea Party members as violent extremists and crush free speech in America.

(April 19) -- Oklahoma City paused for a moment of silence today on the 15th anniversary of the explosion that killed 168 people in the nation's most devastating domestic terrorism attack.
"We have chosen strength, we have chosen optimism, we have chosen freedom, we have chosen to move forward together with a level of unity that is unmatched in any American city," Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett said at a ceremony for families of the victims who died when Timothy McVeigh blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.
Others, however, were far from silent about what they see as the attack's disturbing connection to the threats Americans face today. Nearly nine years after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and in the midst of a vigorous debate over whether domestic terrorism is on the rise, some argue that the Oklahoma City bombing holds certain lessons for the country today. And it seems to have renewed a debate between liberals and conservatives over whether anti-government rhetoric can lead to anti-government violence.
"We should never forget what drove the bombers, and how they justified their actions to themselves," former President Bill Clinton warned in The New York Times. "They took to the ultimate extreme an idea advocated in the months and years before the bombing by an increasingly vocal minority: the belief that the greatest threat to American freedom is our government, and that public servants do not protect our freedoms, but abuse them."
Clinton's op-ed was a clear swipe at the rise of right-wing violence following President Barack Obama's election, and the threats some Democratic lawmakers received after voting for health care reform earlier this year.

A CBS poll has four out of 10 Americans saying that "domestic terrorism is a bigger issue" than international terrorism. (More people polled still say international terrorism remains the greater threat, but according to CBS, that number has fallen since 2001.)|aim|dl1|link1|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aolnews.com%2Fnation%2Farticle%2Fokla-city-stops-to-rem... more

Fifteen years ago we lost family, we lost friends, and we lost children, but their angels will always remain beside us. While we grieve their loss, we honor the spirit that brought us through. Every time we think we have reached our limit when challenged, we’re reminded that our capacity may be limitless.

Just-released videotapes and exclusively obtained witness accounts raise new questions about whether Timothy McVeigh had a secret helper for history’s worst homegrown terror attack.
Last week, the FBI released previously secret videotapes of the moments immediately before the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The Bureau produced 26 of 244 security tapes in its possession. All those made public were recorded from private buildings near the bomb site, and while they all have some periodic blank spots, four of the best-positioned are missing sections in the minutes before the blast.
I found these blank periods, revealed courtesy of a Salt Lake City attorney’s Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, suspicious. In the spring of 1997, I traveled through Oklahoma and rural Kansas pursuing the question of whether others helped Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, the two convicted of the bombing. I conducted dozens of interviews, at a time when people’s recollections were still fresh. Prompted by the release of last week’s tapes, I revisited whether the FBI might be hiding something. I gained access to sealed grand jury testimony as well as FBI field reports, written by agents in the earliest stages of the investigation. Those never-before-released FBI files, with my interviews, and the blank portions of the surveillance tapes, raise new questions about whether at least one accomplice is still at large in the greatest American-on-American act of terrorism.
