After reading Aberration in the Heartland of the real I was just left more confused than ever. There was significant prior evidence of bombing threats to the Murrah building, bomb sweeps had been done prior to April 19th and emergency police services were dispatched about 90 minutes prior to the bombing, corroborated by eye witness testimony both civilian and emergency service personnel. Plus a ton of stuff in that book that I’m sure I don’t remember.
I don’t think he necessarily needed any training, but I do think some 3 letter agency was significantly involved
So, the thing with America is that there's so many spies, assassins, mobsters, genocide guys, secret police, gusano terrorists, space aliens, and Kennedy's floating around that often when something does go down, especially at a federal building, there will be like hundreds of super sus people within a one mile radius.
Again, that doesn't mean it wasn't a TLA. But if you start looking for coincidences with every sketchy government and police and terrorist group in American you'll always find lots and lots of them. It's very much a correlation is not causation thing.
I would definitely agree with that. In McVeighs case it seems like he had tertiary involvement with weapon runners for the intelligence community which had significant overlap with the right wing gun show and white supremacy crowds. You can draw spiderweb connections all over, but they don’t amount to much more than interesting connections and coincidences.
I don’t invest myself in these much more than letting my imagination get some exercise, it’s my equivalent of lore nerding
It really is amazing how much... idk what you'd even call the lore, but wow there is so much of it.
