Dave Emory For the Record #1301 Who Killed Terry Yeakey?
https://spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ftr1301-who-killed-terry-yeakey/
This program investigates the suspicious death of Terry Yeakey, an Oklahoma City policeman who was one of the first responders in the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995. Critical of the official version of the story, he was found shot in the head–an alleged suicide. His death may very well have been a murder.
Key Points of Discussion and Analysis: Terry Yeakey’s belief that the official version of the bombing was a cover-up; His own investigative efforts; Apparent efforts to thwart his investigation; The disappearance of key reports critical of the official version of the bombing; Numerous witness accounts of a second person in the Ryder truck carrying the bomb; Apparent surveillance of individuals critical of the official version and break-ins at their residences; Indications that Terry Yeakey may have been tortured and hung; Thwarting of the efforts of other first responders whose accounts differed with the official version; Recap of the allegations against Andreas Strassmeier by ATF informant Carol Howe; Links between the OK City bombing and other terrorist incidents.

Historian Peter Kuznick joins Mickey to discuss the new Christopher Nolan movie “Oppenheimer.” While his overall evaluation is positive, Kuznick notes that the movie fails to address the crucial fact that there was no military need to drop the atomic bomb on Japan. Kuznick also reminds listeners that had Henry Wallace not been replaced as Vice-President by Harry Truman, Wallace would have succeeded to the presidency upon FDR’s death in April 1945, and history would’ve taken a different path (Kuznick believes that Wallace would not have used the bomb, nor started the Cold War). In the second half of the show, Peter Phillips and Bill Tiwald remind listeners of the catastrophe that even a “limited” nuclear war would unleash on humanity, as well as the human and financial costs of maintaining nuclear stockpiles. They explain how New Mexico has borne a disproportionate share of the nuclear burden, and talk about an event they helped organize — the Albuquerque Peace Festival taking place on August 5.
Notes:
