evening before the explosion. One prominent expert witness, Brigadier-General Benton Partin, claims the Murrah blast was caused by numerous bombs wired to the main supporting columns, not just the explosive device packed inside the Ryder truck. According to seismo-graphic records held by the University of Oklahoma’s Geological Survey, a second explosion occurred eight seconds after the first, although the Survey’s director was at pains to point out that the second shock wave was probably caused by the same explosion and had merely travelled through denser earth to reach their seismograph.
For some, especially those on the American far right, the “evidence” of multiple explosions in the Murrah building leads us full-pelt to the conclusion that the federal government was involved in the bombing. Just as the Nazis, so the argument runs, set the Reichstag afire, so the Feds blew up the Murrah building in order to provide a pretext for a legal crackdown on the patriotic militias of America. After all, why was the BATF office in the Murrah building empty at the time of the explosion? Obviously, the staff had received an inside warning to stay away.
The theory that the FBI committed the Oklahoma City bombing founders on a moment’s sanity. In order to secure a legal clampdown, the US establishment didn’t need an excuse; civil liberties were being curtailed anyway. Furthermore, BATF staff
A more benevolent—and more likely—theory is that, yes, the FBI was indeed involved in a cover-up at Oklahoma City… but a cover-up designed to bolster its reputation as efficient lawmen. The FBI failed to track John Doe 2 because it wanted a quick, clean conviction of McVeigh and Nichols in order to reassure the US public that justice was being speedily done. Alas, by failing to investigate McVeigh’s links with the Militias and by “accidentally” holding back 3,000 pages of documents from his defence team, the FBI acted in exactly the dubious manner its critics complained of. Which provided more grist to the mill of ultra-right-wing conspiracy theorists like… Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols and their unknown co-bombers.
FBI. The Federal Bureau of Incompetence.

Omega Agency
Forget the Bilderberg Group, the Council on Foreign Relations, even the Trilateral Commission; according to www.totse.com “The Omega Agency is the one running the show… the whole ball of wax.”
AboveTopSecret.com and a host of other websites agree: the 10–12 members of the ruling council of the OA are the supreme secret force behind the New World Order. George H. W. Bush, Colin Powell, Gerald Ford and Alexander C. Haig are among the present and past members of the OA council, which has its HQ at the FBI’s Langley complex.
To instal the New World Order, the OA will use the troops of the United Nations who have practised large- scale manoeuvres under the pretence of fighting for freedom in Kuwait (the Gulf War), Bosnia and so on. However, sections of the existing ruling orders oppose the OA, being instead desirous of maintaining influence or having a different worldview; the CIA, for example, wants a “more Communistic-type government” than the OA, which will allow some individual freedom—except for those who are indolent and criminal. In the OA’s New World Order there will be an “end of living off of society and not contributing your fair share… Crimes against another or against society will be met with the death penalty, if such crime is of a severe nature such as murder, rape or robbery.”
There will be a forced reduction in population: “Population control will be accomplished by mandatory birth control by all people, men as well as women. Abortion will be freely available. There will be zero tolerance for child-bearing out of wedlock… There will be a limit of 2 children per couple allowed.”
The Omega Agency also relies on the aid of extraterrestrials, who live under Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque, New Mexico. “These ETs,” says AboveTopSecret.com, “are helping the US with its space program and are working toward devising a plan to restore the planet’s environment after the OA takes over”. The aliens, however, are mainly resident on Earth because they wish to engineer away the innate violence of humans which potentially threatens, via the expanding space programme, the militaristic colonization of their pacific planets. The aliens working with the OA are both Greys and Greens; the Greys are mainly vegetarian, though they apparently “have been known to enjoy a steak now and then”.
Outside self-referring internet websites, there is no evidence that the Omega Agency exists. Believers consider this lack of evidence merely proof of
Opus Dei
Opus Dei, meaning literally “God’s Work” in Latin, is a Roman Catholic prelature founded in 1928 by Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer y Albas. According to its supporters, who include British politician Ruth Kelly, Opus Dei is an innocuous organization whose members seek simply to live the word of God in their professional lives. Which is not exactly how Dan Brown paints it in
Balaguer created the order after seeing a vision of God in Madrid. Since then Opus Dei has garnered 85,000 members around the world. Pope John Paul II acknowledged the Order’s influence by granting it the status of “personal prelature” in 1982. Twenty years later Balaguer (who died in 1975) was canonized. His elevation to sainthood was controversial. Few men had achieved such status so quickly—and few were as unpopular or as divisive a figure. Former members of Opus Dei led the appeals
Then there is the Order’s secretive, hierarchical nature. Membership is by invitation, although some members (priests) are more important than others (the laity).
Critics commonly label Opus Dei a “Catholic Freemasonry” (Balaguer, incidentally, thought the activities of the real Freemasons to be “the work of the Devil”), and it does operate as a secret, self- contained society by virtue of its status as a “personal prelature” in the Church. Like other covert groups, it seeks influence beyond its closed circle: “Have you ever bothered to think,” Balaguer once said, “how absurd it is to leave one’s Catholicism aside on entering a university or a professional association or a scholarly meeting or Congress,
