Director James Lane, Free Mind Films, December 2011, 2 hours<br><br>
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.”<br><br>
</i></b>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
<a href="http://www.okcbombing.net/">Oklahoma</a>
<a href="http://www.okcbombing.net/"> City Bombing Investigation
Committee</a> 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.<br><br>
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
<a href="http://www.okcbombing.net/books%26videos.htm">Final Report on
the Bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building</a>.<br><br>
The documentary includes <a href="http://www.infowars.com/">Alex
Jones</a>, 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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
I spent years questioning the
“<a href="http://www.communitycurrency.org/9-11.html">War on
Terrorism</a>” 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 <a href="http://www.sfbg.com/39/25/cover_conspiracy.html">cover
story on the topic</a>, 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.<br><br>
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
“<a href="http://www.anoblelie.com/">A Noble Lie ¬ Oklahoma City
1995</a>.” 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.<br>
