The Oklahoma City Bombing: A Lesson in Government Lawlessness

Source: Ludwig von Mises Institute
by William L Anderson

“On the morning of April 19, 1995, a truck bomb exploded outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people, including 19 children at a day care center in the building, and injuring hundreds more. As the FBI website tells readers, a single ex-soldier named Timothy McVeigh acted alone, being motivated by anti-government sentiment that came in the aftermath of the Waco massacre two years earlier. The FBI version, of course, is the official version and the one repeated in history books and in the New York Times. … But what if the FBI’s narrative is untrue and that several people were involved in the bombing, some of whom being either government informers or FBI agents who infiltrated right-wing paramilitary groups?” (08/14/25)
