The title of the film comes from Plato’s Republic 
¬ “A myth or untruth knowingly told by the elite 
to maintain social harmony, or the social position of the elite.”

There was a huge disparity between the national 
story of the Oklahoma City bombing of the Alfred 
P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995, and 
what the local news and local people witnessed on 
the day it happened. The orchestrated cover-up 
failed to discourage all those who had lost 
friends and family or realized that something was 
seriously amiss with the official story. For 
years people have devoted countless hours, time 
and resources to interview witnesses, track down 
evidence, and discover the truth about this 
tragedy. An 
<http://www.okcbombing.net/>Oklahoma<http://www.okcbombing.net/> 
City Bombing Investigation Committee was formed 
that included Oklahoma State Representative 
Charles Key, who was a driving force behind 
empowering a citizen grand jury to investigate 
the bombing, to look into areas that the 
government had ignored. While the official 
narrative focused on Timothy McVeigh, it 
neglected the testimony of witnesses who saw 
McVeigh in the company of Middle Eastern men and 
Andy Strassmeier, a German citizen and “former” 
intelligence officer who lived in Elohim City.

Many adults as well as children were killed in 
the bombing, which made it the largest terrorist 
attack on American civilians up until 9/11/2001. 
Subsequent to the bombing there were two brutal 
murders carried out, one of a policeman who was a 
first responder to the crime scene and another of 
a man who bore a strong resemblance to one of the 
suspects in the bombing. The film reveals more 
mysteries than it solves. For example, it 
demonstrates that it would be impossible for a 
truck bomb alone to cause all the structural 
damage and the partial collapse of the building 
that caused most of the casualties. The 
suppressed evidence of foreknowledge by the 
authorities is also exposed. Precisely what role 
the various suspects, actors, and prosecutors 
played, however, is not clear. On the contrary, 
the bombing as a whole is shown to be complex, 
messy and tied into past events, such as Waco and 
Ruby Ridge, as well as into subsequent events 
such as the World Trade Center attacks that took 
place on September 11, 2001, just weeks after 
Charles Key published his book 
<http://www.okcbombing.net/books%26videos.htm>Final 
Report on the Bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building.

The documentary includes 
<http://www.infowars.com/>Alex Jones, warning 
that if we don’t learn the truth about what 
happened at Oklahoma City, then history is likely 
to repeat itself until people realize who is 
responsible for these crimes and how the events 
are being used to construct an increasingly 
oppressive police/surveillance state.

I vaguely remember feeling uncomfortable and wary 
of the accounts I heard about Waco and Oklahoma 
City when they happened, and how I was concerned 
about the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995 
that granted the federal government greater 
powers in jurisdiction over “acts of 
international terrorism.” However, I was too busy 
to spend much time investigating those events. In 
the wake of 9/11, however, I received some videos 
about Oklahoma City and recognized disturbing parallels between both attacks.

I spent years questioning the 
“<http://www.communitycurrency.org/9-11.html>War 
on Terrorism” and in particular the official 
narrative of 9/11, often without any interest by 
the media in the issue. When I finally got the 
attention of an editor at the San Francisco Bay 
Guardian who decided to do a 
<http://www.sfbg.com/39/25/cover_conspiracy.html>cover 
story on the topic, I gave him the best research 
I could find, including numerous books, articles, 
and documentaries. As I was discussing with him 
the historic parallels to 9/11, however, I 
noticed his eyes clouding over in horror when I 
mentioned Oklahoma City as one of my examples. I 
suddenly realized that he had never heard a word 
challenging the official account of the Oklahoma 
City bombing, having only been exposed to the 
oft-repeated national myth. I had to drop the 
historical context aspect of my presentation to 
avoid overwhelming him with more information than he could process.

My heart goes out to the victims who were killed 
and maimed in Texas, Oklahoma City, New York, 
Washington DC, and those killed subsequently in 
Afghanistan, Iraq, Bali, Spain, and London
 Many 
have died, including truth seekers, including 
some of my friends. These are perilous times, 
when we are called upon to stand up for what we 
believe. Many of us feel that if we can learn the 
truth, and expose the truth, we will be able to 
prevent future acts of terrorism, future wars, 
and redirect humanity from the path of endless 
war towards a more peaceful, life-honoring 
future. Clearly that is the intent of the 
documentary “<http://www.anoblelie.com/>A Noble 
Lie ¬ Oklahoma City 1995.” This excellent film is 
a gift to all of us to help us better understand 
how we have been deceived, and to prod us into 
continuing to educate ourselves and to join 
together to take action to prevent history from repeating itself, yet again.
