     Read previous posts. Explained how to increase brissance.

 LW> forty-eight hundred pound fertilizer bomb. 
 
     Again, previous posts
 
 A bomb the size of

 LW> weighs about eleven pounds, which is a deadly bomb -- it is
 LW> very small, but it is very strong -- it would be very easy to
 LW> control the direction of that bomb.
     If it really exsisted, it would be HARDER to control. 
     Inquiries to appropiately placed and intellectually like-minded
     people indicate it doesn't. "Horseshit" was the general response.
     Waste time on something that can't be proved, and makes one sound
     like a kook.
 
 LW> Now, looking back at the scene [of the explosion], we notice

 LW> was not destroyed, except for some windows being blown out.
     Damage is consistent with other "car" bomb incidents around
     the world.
 
 LW> But I think you brought up a very interesting point.
 LW> The Government initially said, "a car bomb of a thousand or
 LW> more pounds." And then they went up to, I think, "a pick-up
 LW> truck or a panel truck." And then they went up to "a 24-foot
 LW> rental truck," in order to make the damage coincide with the
 LW> size of the vehicle, and, of course, [to coincide with] the
 LW> bomb itself.
     Went back and re-read some previous incidents. Not unusual in
     the goatf*ck that ensues after such an incident. 
 
 LW> JOHN STADTMILLER:
 LW> Well, the one thing that struck me was that there was certainly

 LW> There was an explosion in that building, for sure, but it

     Sounds like an "expert" from that book mentioned in previous
     posts.
 
 LW> TED GUNDERSON:
 LW> I agree with you on that. Absolutely.
 LW> But the bottom line is that I don't think that we are being told
 LW> the truth about what happened back there [in Oklahoma City]
 LW> -- about the type of bomb, etcetera, etcetera.
     No shit. More important is the repercussions to be faced by all
     in this matter.
