I certainly remember him. I was a customs broker in Buffalo when the Murrah building blew and INS held a 3rd-generation Arab American who was a client of my company because they were all told to treat any Muslim as suspicious. The real terrorist grew up roughly six miles away from there.

I had moved away from acquaintances in the Arizona Militia movement two years before the Murrah building bombing; CNN showed *one clip* of McVeigh's apartment, with a pile of very familiar looking books.

Four of which were White Supremacist tracts. Randy Weaver was a sanitized White Supremacist.

Randy Weaver got killed by BATF agents (as did his wife) in a raid on his off-the-grid cabin in Naples ID in August '92, and conservative talk radio said he got killed by an overarching government for just wanting to be left alone.

Weaver wanted a white ethnostate in Idaho and Montana.

Weaver to Koresh to McVeigh is a straight throughline of White Supremacist Bullshit that nobody called out as White Supremacist Bullshit.
