At Georgetown, Quigley influenced much of America's future elite including former President Clinton who praised Quigley in his acceptance speech at the 1992 Democratic National Convention. This extraordinary book explains many of the factors operating behind the significant events of the first half of the 20th century. Quigley describes the fire as the result of a premeditated plot which led to the suspension of the German Constitution. There seem to be some rather ominous parallels to this historical event and the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, April 19, 1994.
Several questions beg to be answered.
Several people reported seeing a heavily armed and equipped bomb squad in the area of the Federal building hours before the bombing. Charles Mankin, director of the University of Oklahoma Geological Survey, reported that, according to two different seismographic records, there were two blasts, eight seconds apart, at the federal building. In fact, news reports within twenty four hours of the bombing reported that there were two explosions. This version subsequently disappeared from all media accounts. 9 -1910, an ammonium nitrate bomb, the type in McVeigh's Ryder truck, could not have, by itself, done the type of damage done to the federal building.
