Oklahoma City bombing government foreknowledge

Record	OBS-0050
Category	Government/Cover-ups
Status	DEBUNKED
Summary	Theories allege that government officials, including President Bill Clinton, knew about the impending bombing and deliberately failed to act. This is part of a broader claim that the government allowed the attack to happen for political reasons.
Origin	Emerged in the aftermath of the 1995 bombing, fueled by distrust of the federal government, especially after Ruby Ridge and Waco.
Claimed	Government officials had advance knowledge of the bombing. Bill Clinton and others intentionally ignored warnings to allow the attack. The bombing was allowed to happen to justify crackdowns on the militia movement.
Evidence / consensus	No credible evidence supports the claim of government foreknowledge. Investigations found no such warnings or deliberate inaction.

> OBSERVER NOTE:
Foreknowledge theories often rely on hindsight and speculation. The official record shows no actionable intelligence was available.
