Burying loose ends after the Murrah bombing

In the early 90’s, Carol Howe worked as an undercover informant for the ATF, infiltrating “Elohim City”, a white supremacist compound located in eastern Oklahoma and frequented by Timothy McVeigh and Andreas Strassmeir, a German national who many believe to have been the true culprit behind the bombing.  She was later arrested and charged with terroristic activities after her and her husband set up a similar white supremacist movement, of which they were the sole members, in Tulsa. Her charges were dropped after insisting that her actions were a result of her attempting to “enhance” her cover amid the white supremacist movement that began to suspect she was actually an informant.

Here is what is interesting: the film rights to her life story were purchased by Ari Emmanuel, brother Rahm Emmanual and son of Benjamin Emmanuel. Benjamin was a founding member of the Zionist terrorist organization, Irgun, that operated in Palestine after World War 2.

Ari’s purchase of the film rights is strange: nothing has been produced regarding Howe’s time as an informant, and it appears that nothing ever will. Were these rights bought in order to ensure her story was never told? This tactic is called “catch and kill”. Because of this, one of the most interesting and revealing stories of the OKC bombing has been suppressed for decades.
