Tragedy unfolded on April 19, 1995, when a massive bomb exploded in America’s Heartland, killing 168 people, including 15 children in their daycare center.
Thirty years later, it still stands as America’s deadliest domestic terror attack.
History says the Oklahoma City bombing was a lone-wolf terror by Timothy McVeigh, a twenty-six-year-old Gulf War Army veteran.
Yet the FBI never captured the second suspect who rode next to McVeigh in the bomb truck. Soon the Bureau canceled its global manhunt for “John Doe 2,” claiming twenty-four eyewitnesses who saw him with McVeigh were mistaken.
None of this rings true to award-winning journalist Margaret Roberts. As former news director of America’s Most Wanted, she worked high-profile manhunts alongside the FBI. How could so many witnesses be wrong?
Blowback chronicles Roberts’s investigation into a baffling prison murder mystery wrapped inside the Oklahoma City bombing case. In pursuit of answers, she conducts journalism’s only face-to-face prison interviews with McVeigh co-conspirator Terry Nichols.
Contrary to the official story of lone-wolf terror, Roberts uncovers evidence of a sprawling neo-Nazi plot behind the bombing in which the FBI played a hidden role. Then, while covering its tracks, the FBI allowed terror suspects to walk free, denied the bombing victims justice, and hid the truth from all of us.
After an FBI whistleblower steps forward, Roberts puts the puzzle together, though one burning mystery remains: The FBI has kept surveillance videotape of McVeigh’s accomplice locked away all these years. Is John Doe 2 the FBl’s guilty secret?Book

Deliverance from Stupidparty Land seeks to explain the inexplicable, to place landing-strip beacons on the fading yet undeniably attractive runway flying us permanently away from snake-pit USA 2018—illuminating how as-yet-undiscovered trends can secure deliverance for a splintered, exhausted electorate that now simply lacks the fire power, the will power, to disrupt the seemingly irreversible trend into a dystopian future. How did the US voluntarily arrive at the doorstep of its own demise? This homemade manmade Handmaid’s Tale, where falsehoods and transparently mean-spirited claptrap trump facts and common decency—subverting naïve yet positive innocence into a malignant supremacist and myopic nationalistic agenda that is now in inflaming the planet’s already rising temperature of self-harm? All this to cloak the true aspirations of the identified malevolent Oligarchs, who no longer lie quietly waiting. The first book in this trilogy (Math v. Myth) exposed the blatant myths that now overshadow reality. The second book (Who is Jeb!!!) uncovered the horrible histories of the Bush dynasty—revealing how America, beginning with the JFK assassination, began its descent from being a force for good, to now having zero moral authority. Allies hold us in contempt; enemies nurture us. We must understand the problem in order to visualize and actualize the solution. Since I fear the solution is unlikely to be enacted organically, we must prepare to seek a ballot-box-inspired intervention from a higher power—we must seek deliverance from our own collective folly, not from the heavens but from our own homegrown saviors, whom we created in the image of own inescapable delusions.

What role did crystal meth and other previously underreported factors play in the brutal murder of gay college student Matthew Shepard? The Book of Matt is a page-turning cautionary tale that humanizes and de-mythologizes Matthew while following the evidence where it leads, without regard to the politics that have long attended this American tragedy.
Late on the night of October 6, 1998, twenty-one-year-old Matthew Shepard left a bar in Laramie, Wyoming with two alleged “strangers,” Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson. Eighteen hours later, Matthew was found tied to a log fence on the outskirts of town, unconscious and barely alive. He had been pistol-whipped so severely that the mountain biker who discovered his battered frame mistook him for a Halloween scarecrow. Overnight, a politically expedient myth took the place of important facts. By the time Matthew died a few days later, his name was synonymous with anti-gay hate.
Stephen Jimenezwent to Laramie to research the story of Matthew Shepard’s murder in 2000, after the two men convicted of killing him had gone to prison, and after the national media had moved on. His aim was to write a screenplay on what he, and the rest of the nation, believed to be an open-and-shut case of bigoted violence. As a gay man, he felt an added moral imperative to tell Matthew’s story. But what Jimenez eventually found in Wyoming was a tangled web of secrets. His exhaustive investigation also plunged him deep into the deadly underworld of drug trafficking. Over the course of a thirteen-year investigation, Jimenez traveled to twenty states and Washington DC, and interviewed more than a hundred named sources.
The Book of Matt is sure to stir passions and inspire dialogue as it re-frames this misconstrued crime and its cast of characters, proving irrefutably that Matthew Shepard was not killed for being gay but for reasons far more complicated — and daunting.
