Looks like Timothy McVeigh will go to his death in a few weeks denying other conspirators were involved in the Oklahoma City bombing. I read a quote from a psychologist that said McVeigh may be driven to take complete credit for the bombing even though it may have involved an unidentified group of others because this boosts his notoriety, feeds his need for attention through martyrdom. The shrink criticized that if other conspirators were involved, their discovery will be made all the more difficult once McVeigh is gone. I guess we’ll never know if Clean Phil was John Doe #2 or not. He certainly looks just like the composite sketch of the mystery person. Nobody really knows where Phil was this day in 1995, so I guess his strange resemblance to the sketch still gives rise to thoughts that he had something to do with what happened. It doesn’t help that Maddy swears she saw Phil earlier that April on the campus on the University of Oklahoma. She said when she called out, the person she thought was Phil ran off in a hurry as if to avoid her. Of course the government went back on itself and said John Doe #2— whoever the hell he was, they care not to learn— was not related to the case at all, that he was essentially injected into the investigation by mistake. But you have to wonder if they took that tact for the sake of tidiness. And besides, if McVeigh was willing to let the whole thing fall on him, why would the Government want to have any loose ends dangling that might change the culpability question and jeopardized their chances of frying the fucking bastard? Just what the fucking world needs right? Another fucking conspiracy theory. When Porch Rot let me go through Phil’s room and poke through his shit I thought for sure I might find something that might link Phil to what happen in Oklahoma City. I’m relieved to say I found nothing of the sort. Don’t get me wrong— it’s a good thing. Still when you have a thought like that floating around in your head for so long, it still seems hard to put it completely to rest. I still have this thought Phil was a person in the mold of a Timothy McVeigh or a Unabomber— that he may have been capable of great destructiveness without necessarily being noticed this way initially. He was quite bent on anarchy really if you read his writing and he was really quite clever too to be able to carry out a complicated plan. And of course the entities that governed the universe sanctioned anything he did. Fucking alien space creatures. Good fucking gracious.
