Since there seems to be quite a number of them here on CD, I thought this subject timely.

Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, was a conspiracy theorist. He believed that a shadowy elite of bankers and industrialists and politicians are plotting in secret to take over the world, disarm gun enthusiasts and implement a sinister New World Order - a world government that will destroy anyone who disobeys. McVeigh considered the Murrah building in Oklahoma City to be the local headquarters of the New World Order.

Why are conspiracy theories dangerous? The most obvious reason is that they can and often do create large-scale scapegoating. The conspiracies we will be examining describe attempts to control the entire world. It is rare not to find this idea mated with the belief that some particular group is acting to accomplish this - after all, you need a lot of people to control the whole world. Popular choices for scapegoating include Jews, Freemasons and even Catholics. No matter what group is chosen, they are ultimately made the source of all the world's problems.

Conspiracy Theories (part 1 of 2)

Just listen to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck.
They drop a conspiracy theory every 2 minutes.

Timothy McVeigh blew up the building mosly because of these two incidents. Both were not conspiracys, they were actual events.

Oklahoma City bombing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Motivated by his hatred of the federal government and angered by what he perceived as its mishandling of the Waco Siege (1993) and the Ruby Ridge incident (1992), McVeigh timed his attack to coincide with the second anniversary of the deaths at Waco

By the way, for many many decades everyone said a New World Order/One World Government was nothing but a conspiracy theory. Now leaders across the globe are talking about it and hussein obama and the wackos in his administration are pushing for it.

The left is always short on facts and truth.

Did he place all the bombs that were found inside the building?

Without being told, I don't think he did.
