The Beating Death Of Kenneth Trentadue & The FBI's Orchestrated Cover Up Of This Crime

The following, is one of the most disturbing articles in regard to FBI corruption that I have ever read. It is so chilling that I have chosen to include one photograph of Kenneth Trentadue's body (the subject of this post) at the time of his autopsy, because the American people need to know the viciousness that those FBI agents who took part in these beatings are both capable and guilty of. While there are a number of decent men and women working for the FBI, there are also a myriad of others who are not.

And for this reason this organization should be abolished.

The first photo is of Kenneth and his bride, Carmen. The second is of Kenneth after the FBI had finished torturing him and hung his body in what was supposed to be a "suicide-proof" cell.

It was clear from an investigation that all of the evidence in this case was removed from Kenneth Trentadue's jail cell when it was hosed down. It was also determined that neither the FBI, nor the prison guards who were responsible for Kenneth's well being, followed the proper procedures in this situation, which is only a further indictment of the FBI's attempts to cover up their crimes against him.

Kenneth's family, had given author Paul Craig Roberts permission to post photos taken of his body shortly after his autopsy. Even years later, they remain cogniscent of the importance of circulating Kenneth's story far and wide, so that others can learn of the injustice that was done to him, his wife Carmen, and the couple's family.

There were several photos, but I have only chosen to include the one which I believe best shows just how savagedly Kenneth was beaten to death. I don't do this lightly, as in anyother case I would have refrained from posting it, out of respect for his memory as well as his surviving relatives. But gross injustices such as this one need to be documented far and wide, so that Americans can learn of the hideous crimes that the US Federal Intelligence community is guilty of perpetrating. This cover up by the FBI as well as myriad others that it's been involved in over the past century, must come to an end. And so must the FBI.

Congress has failed us. The US Courts have failed us.

And the only place left to go is to the American people and the rest of this world's human population, in the hope that their compassion and humanity can prevent those "robots" in US Intelligence and the military industrial complex ( who's job is to torture and murder those of us whom they choose to target), from continuing to get away with these horrific crimes.

Something has to be done!

Please read Kenneth's story and make sure that it becomes known to others. This is the real FBI; the organization that routinely violates the civil rights of Americans by denying them due process of law, while feigning a role as premier law enforcement. To those who know the truth about this fiendish organization, we are well aware that the FBI is anything but legitimate law enforcement. It never has been and as long as the American people allow it to exist, it never will be anything but a malignant threat to our freedom.

The Badly Beaten Body Of Kenneth Which The FBI Tried To Cover Up

The FBI, the Torture and Murder of Kenneth Trentadue and Advanced Knowledge of the Oklahoma City Bombing -- Uncovering a DOJ Coverup

By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS http://www.counterpunch.org/

In 1995 Kenneth Trentadue was murdered by federal agents in a federal prison in Oklahoma City. A coverup immediately went into effect. Federal authorities claimed Trentadue, who was being held in a suicide-proof cell, had committed suicide by hanging himself, but the state coroner would not buy the story. Prison authorities tried to get family consent to cremate the body. But Trentadue had been picked up on a minor parole violation, and the story of suicide by a happily married man delighted with his two-month old son raised red flags to the family.When the Trentadue family received Kenneth's body and heavy makeup was scraped away, the evidence (available in photos on the Internet) clearly shows a person who had been tortured and beaten. His throat was slashed and he may have been garroted.

There are bruises, burns and cuts from the soles of Trentadue's feet to his head, wounds that obviously were not self-inflicted. As the state coroner noted at the time, every investigative rule was broken by the federal prison. The coroner was not allowed into the cell, and the cell was scrubbed down prior to investigation.The federal coverup was completely transparent. A US senator made inquiries, but the US Department of Justice (sic), knowing that it would not be held accountable, stuck to its fabricated story.

That was a mistake.Trentadue's brother, Jesse, is an attorney. He believes that federal officials, like everyone else, must be held accountable for their crimes.He has been battling the Justice Department and the FBI for a decade. Jesse Trentadue has amassed evidence that his brother was mistaken for Tim McVeigh's alleged accomplice in the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City. Federal agents, believing that they had Richard Lee Guthrie in their hands, went too far in attempting to force him to talk. Jesse Trentadue learned that the FBI had informants planted with two groups on which McVeigh may have relied: a white supremacist paramilitary training compound at Elohim City and the Mid-West Bank Robbery Gang.

The implication is that the FBI had advance notice of McVeigh's plans and may have been conducting a sting operation that went awry. The FBI has documents that name the informants. Teletypes from then FBI director Louis Freeh dated January 4, 1996, and August 23, 1996, confirm that the FBI had informants imbedded with the Mid-West Bank Robbery Gang and in Elohim City. In these documents, Freeh reports to various FBI field offices that the Elohim City informant (possibly explosives expert and German national Andreas Carl Strassmeir) "allegedly has had a lengthy relationship with Timothy McVeigh" and "that McVeigh had placed a telephone call to Elohim City on 4/5/95, a day that he was believed to have been attempting to recruit a second conspirator to assist in the OK BOMB attack."

The FBI denied to federal judge Dale Kimball that any such documents existed. But someone had leaked the teletypes to Trentadue, and he put them before the judge along with an affidavit of their genuineness. Caught red-handed lying to a federal judge, the FBI was ordered to produce all documents Trentadue demanded. Judge Kimball gave the FBI until June 15, 2005, to deliver the incriminating records. Needless to say, the FBI doesn't want to deliver and is attempting every possible dodge to escape obeying the judge's order. In his effort to uncover the DOJ's coverup of his brother's murder, Jesse Trentadue may have uncovered evidence of the FBI's failure to prevent the bombing of the Murrah Building.

It is bad enough that the murder of Kenneth Trentadue is covered over with many layers of DOJ perjury and the withholding and destruction of evidence. Evidence that the FBI was aware of McVeigh's plan to bomb the Murrah Building and failed to prevent the deed would be an additional heavy blow to the prestige of federal law enforcement.
