Freedom's End: Conspiracy in Oklahoma [Paperback]

James D. Nichols (Author), Robert S. Papovich (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 1997 | ISBN-10: 0966043901 | ISBN-13: 978-0966043907

For more than three years James D. Nichols and Robert S. Papovich have researched and investigated the crime of the century. Having close contact with both defense teams, defense investigators and private investigators, and knowing Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols intimately, these first-time authors have presented startling new information and a new perspective about this American tragedy.

Written by Papovich, published by his wife Sandra with financial assistance from friends and family, and previously distributed only from their homes, James Nichols' compelling story should serve as a wake up call for all of us who are just too busy to get involved and would rather let the other guys do something about it.

The story they tell is alarming and very controversial. So controversial that their book Freedom's End was banned from the Gibraltar Trade Shows in Mt. Clemens and Taylor, Michigan. So controversial that no publisher would publish it and no major distributor would distribute it, until now.

The information in Freedom's End has withstood the challenges of Geraldo Rivera, Charles Grodin, Court TV, Hannity & Colmes, Larry King, Phil Donahue, Oliver Buck Revell (former deputy director, FBI) and numerous TV and radio attorneys and judges.

This is a story about a massive assault on a farm in rural American designed to put the Fear of the Fed into the hearts of every American Citizen. It is a story about an innocent farmer being cast into prison even though the FBI admitted they knew from the very beginning that he had done nothing illegal!

This is a story about misery and pain the extent of which is unimaginable to the average person living a normal life. The authors tell about an intricate, well planned conspiracy involving lies, perjury in federal court, witness tampering and elimination, evidence falsification and destruction, and media manipulation resulting in a disinformation campaign which very effectively demonized their targets and kept the truth from the American people.

This is a story about a great American tragedy the result of which was the senseless slaughter of at least 168 innocent citizens in this, the greatest country on Earth. It's a story about the maiming of hundreds more and, without question, the lives of tens of thousands of others will never be the same. Realistically, the lives and the rights of every man, woman and child in America will forever be adversely affected by this one vicious, unconscionable act of violence.

This story is about a cover-up, the likes of which this Nation has not seen since the Kennedy assassination. As a matter of fact, after reading this information for yourself, you may well conclude that the conspiracy and cover-up of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy pales by comparison to the conspiracy and cover-up of the April 19, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.

Editorial Reviews

Review

For the first time, so much information that has not been made available to the general public - in the trial of the century - in the crime of the century - the Oklahoma City bombing. Evidence that was not allowed to be introduced, things that the jury did not hear that may very well have caused them to have a totally different view and opinion and verdict in the case. Freedom's End is a must read. If you want to know what really happened. If you want to find out what we were not told, get Freedom's End: Conspiracy In Oklahoma. -- Jerry Hughes - United Broadcasting Network - Feb., 1998

Freedom's End provides an alternate, plausible scenario of the OKC bombing. -- Media Bypass - Evansville, Indiana - Nov., 1997

I'm really impressed. It's an excellent book. -- Dominic Vincentini - WPON - Pontiac, Mich. - Dec., 1997

If you want the true story, I highly recommend that you get this book. If you are Americans and you want to know what the hell is going on in this country, this is one you have to have. It is a totally enlightening book - one of the most important books of our time. The title says it all! -- Alex Merclinger - Talk America Radio Network - Apr., 1998

It happens to be an extremely well written book. They bring out their points very cogently and with a lot of delicious irony. It's a good read. -- Chamba Lane - KVMR - Nevada City, Calif. - Dec,. 1997

REAL investigative journalism is NOT dead. If you are looking for reporting and writing that in former times would have easily won the Pulitzer Prize, but today can't even find a distributor, then have we got a book for you. It's called Freedom's End: Conspiracy In Oklahoma. This book is some of the most powerful writing and reporting we have EVER read! It's fair. It's accurate. It contains no wild speculation. So why all this subtle and not-so-subtle pressure from on high? It is because the book lays bare a major government cover-up of truth in this bombing. -- The PROponent - Columbus, Ohio - Dec., 1997

When they were telling me how difficult it was to get this thing published, I thought well maybe they didn't do a very good job.' Then they sent me the manuscript and they did an outstanding job! These two guys really tell the story. It is entertaining , compelling reading - incredibly informative. This is a part of the story that most of you have not heard and never would if not for the fact that they have written their book. They didn't miss anything. Excellent book. I understand why [they had to self-publish]. -- Mark Scott - WXYT - Southfield, Mich. - Nov., 1997

From the Author

People write books for many different reasons. Some authors write out of a sense of need or, perhaps, of artistic expression. Others write because they believe they have such an entertaining idea that the idea must be passed along to entertain others. Many write just because that's what they do for a living. We also had our reasons for writing this book. Reasons with which many people, particularly governments agents and investigators, will probably disagree. Some of this information will alarm many of you. Some readers who think their government is incapable of intentional wrongdoing will refuse to believe the words that grace these pages. The truth will be disagreeable to those people because it will not support what they want to believe. But isn't it better to know the truth than to live under a delusion? Isn't it better to know the facts than to be manipulated by lies? We have presented the facts and the evidence so you can decide for yourselves, form your own conclusions about who actually perpetrated this crime and how and why it was carried out. You will determine the motive for this crime and who really benefited from such a seemingly senseless tragedy. If you want the real story from two authors who do not base their information or their opinions on hearsay, the only authors who actually know both of the men accused of and convicted for this crime; if you think you're ready for the rest of the story, then we think you're ready for the truth about the Oklahoma City bombing. We think you're ready to ask some of the same questions we have asked and there are literally hundreds of questions unanswered about the trials and the investigation of the Oklahoma City bombing. Using the information and evidence we have been able to gather from witnesses and investigators, in spite of a concerted effort by the government to hinder all private investigations and to keep evidence from defense attorneys and from scientists in private laboratories, we're certain that we have answered those questions and more. We're certain that we know actually happened at 9:02 a.m., April 19, 1995...Now you will know.

We pray this is not yet Freedom's End. (Robert S. Papovich)

5.0 out of 5 stars When the smoke clears, the truth comes out, May 22, 2001

By 

Russell Miles (Dallas, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Freedom's End: Conspiracy in Oklahoma (Paperback)

Don't let Mark Newbold's inarticulate and emotionally biased rantings keep you away from a book that asks the tough questions and dares to take issue with the official version of the events of 4-19-95. If I lived in Pittsburg, Kansas I guess I would be content to keep my head buried in the sand as well. Go back to sleep now, Mark, because nice Mr. Ted Koppell has some nice government experts on Nightline to make you feel all better. But I live in the real world and know people from both Oklahoma City and Waco. This book has its flaws, but it makes an excellent starting point for anyone wanting to investigate the tangled web of OKCBOMB. In light of the FBI's recent revelation that they "accidentally" overlooked thousands of documents in the McVeigh case, don't you think a little questioning of authority is in order here? Check out this brave book if you dare.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the read for the SECOND-HALF alone, September 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Freedom's End: Conspiracy in Oklahoma (Paperback)

As I began to read the book, I constantly keep in mind just who the authors were. Having read "Others Unknown", I knew that James Nichols was a suspect at one point.

The first several chapters is mainly concerned with James Nichols' lashing out at the FEDS for raiding his farm. It's loaded with hilarious jabs at the federal government which at times overshadows the facts. The book poses some very interesting questions about the bomb and obstruction of justice. But I think the best information in the book comes from the last several chapters begining with "Witnesses". I was losing enthusiasm in the book until I hit this chapter. From then on the book took a more serious approach to the facts. Stephen Jones' book had a chapter on US v. McVeigh and he rattled off a list of names of people who the goverment never called as witnesses without explaining what the significant of those witnesses were. This book explained what those witnesses saw the morning of April 19, 1995 as well as the weeks/days leading up to the bombing. (The fact that I was able to cross-reference FE with Jones' book gave it more credibility).

The book also gave more in-depth information on the ATF informant, Carol Howe and exactly what she had reported to her superiors which was ignored at the expense of 168 men, women and children.

My lasting impression is that there was a grand COVER-UP, the government had been tipped off (Jones said the same in his book) and we may never know what really happened and why.

WORTH THE READ FOR THE SECOND-HALF, WILL LEAVE YOU WANTING MORE INFORMATION.

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative account of Government manipulation of facts., November 1, 2002

This review is from: Freedom's End: Conspiracy in Oklahoma (Paperback)

I have read almost all of the books out there about the Oklahoma City bombing and the Assault on The Branch Davidians in Waco which is often cited as having been the inspiration for the destruction of the Murrah Building. This book contains LOTS of scathing information regarding The US Governments manipulation of people and its censorship/fabrication of information released to the public. The story it tells is vitally important for all Americans to read although I found the book to be tedious reading in certain areas. Nichols tells his story with all the emotion it deserves and what he has to say is important. Read it!
