In light of the recent article on Terrance Yeakey by @CNN thus bringing what used to be considered a fringe OKC bombing conspiracy to the mainstream, I think the same treatment should be done for the story of Kenneth Trentadue & his brother Jesse.
Thread🧵
cnn.com/interactive/20…
This is a huge opportunity for large alt media entities & us little guys to elevate this story.
(My ideal writer for this would be @ShaneCashman)
It writes itself/it's very well sourced/very compelling
I'll explain below
@crackconnoisser edit for context-
Kenneth Trentadue was a Vietnam vet who acquired a heroine addiction as many Vietnam vets did. He committed a bank robbery to fund his habit & was caught & did his time & got his life back on track. He got married & had a newborn before he was picked up for a parole violation
He was crossing the Mexican border when this happened(wife was Mexican & had family there).
See the thing was, this occurred as there was a nationwide hunt for John Doe 2 in the OKC bombing.
Kenneth fit the description on multiple levels
-JD2 was suspected to have fled to Mexico
- Kenneth had a very similar build & complexion
- Kenneth had a very similar pick up truck to what JD2 was suspected of having
- both had a very similar tattoo
Kenneth was then transported to a jail in Oklahoma. For what reason? Who knows?
He also was inexplicably put in a special high security part of the prison despite being a model prisoner.
He then "committed suicide" despite this being an area where that should be impossible.
He was found hanging from a bed sheet.
Weird thing is though,he was found w/extensive cuts, bruises, & burns on his body.
Additionally, there were two fellow inmates that claimed they heard screams that sounded like torture.
They both died before they could testify in court.
Furthermore, there was an expert videographer who was convinced that the video that should have been available that magically disappeared was manually deleted. He was willing to testify. He also died before he could do so.
McVeigh himself contacted Jesse Trentadue, Ken's brother, to tell him he believed the FBI mistook his brother for Richard Lee Guthrie, who many believed was JD2.
Wouldn't you know, Guthrie "committed suicide" as well saying he was gonna blow the lid off the OKC bombing story
You'd think this would be the end of the story since Ken was, in the eyes of the public, "just a common criminal".
No such luck for the FBI.
This unleashed their worst nightmare, Jesse Trentadue.
He is Ken's brother, a former marine, & one of the best lawyers in the country
Jesse unleashed an all out attack against those responsible on all fronts: political, civil, criminal, & FOIA.
Here's a presentation from Jesse himself because breaking this down would be a thread of its own.
The fuckery of the feds cannot be understated here.
At one point they admitted to perjury and their legal defense was "it is within our authority to do so"
This would be another thread so I'll leave an article from the great @booth_okc on this exact topic.
libertarianinstitute.org/articles/the-f…
Jesse is still fighting the fight to this day and has stated he will continue to do so until the day he dies.
There is no need for him to do it alone.
Please help me spread this story.
Tag content creators you think would be interested and plz share this.
Also plz share around any of the sources here that you think your intended audience would find compelling.
Here is a podcast I did on this exact topic with @booth_okc as part of our OKC bombing series.
*after saying*
Also wanna shout out @scotthortonshow for making the @LibertarianInst the home of @booth_okc's OKC bombing archive.
Go to the libertarianinstitute.org to find said archive which is where you can find reliable sources for everything said here and much more.
@JolyonMcVeigh @BoltzmannBooty
Figured yall may appreciate this
@CassandraRules not sure if this is up your alley but maybe you have a writer or know someone who would be interested in covering this.
Would be topical considering the recent CNN article.
@officialtripoli @martyrmade
Figured this may interest yall.
Forgot to mention but JD2 was also suspected to be a bank robber so Kenneth fit that description too.
JD2 would have been doing so to acquire funds for domestic terrorism as a member of the ARA(Aryan Republican Army)
@Lukewearechange really feel like this is a thread that would REALLY interest you
@alexstein99 figure this may interest you
@michaelmalice not sure if you've ever gone down the OKC bombing rabbit hole, but think now would be a good time if it piques your interest.
