For a few weeks now, I have been posting parts of an ongoing thread series, the main points of which I will recap in a moment. But first, a disclaimer.
The series is not intended to be my complete or finalized writing about the topics covered in it, all of which are fleshed out in much greater detail in my second book, which will contain proper citations for the source material used to construct these narratives.
Nor is this series a representation of the full scope of topics covered in my second book. Rather, it is just a small and much abbreviated window into and a preliminary ‘workshopping’ of some of them.
This thread series IS meant to introduce certain claims, events, and individuals, & begins to reveal the contours of a broader, often hidden network that McVeigh was not only embedded and plugged into but that comes to bear on the ‘nuts and bolts’ of the OKCB conspiracy itself.
It is also a way for me to organize or reorganize some of my narration of these linkages and share some of my newer, post-Aberration material with you.
Finally, and to a lesser extent, it is an attempt on my part to get ahead of some of the continued leaking of my work and additional newly discovered instances of the same by an individual whose outbursts and actions have put me, my sources, and others in danger. 😡
While I intend to wrap up this series in the coming weeks, time, health, and other constraints and obligations that have arisen prevent me from including as much detail and information as I’d have liked.
That said, some of the threads have been quite lengthy, containing a wealth of previously unpublished information and the contextualizing of other, already known information in new ways.
What may seem like simply a compilation of random details at this point is not; something I intend to demonstrate, in part by the end of this thread series and more fully in long-form writing in book 2.
Below is an abbreviated recap of what has been covered thus far in this thread series and links to the parts:
A preliminary thread, not technically part of this series, but that was initially intended to be, and is very much related, can be found here:
Part One of this series discussed previously unreported claims of Richard Van Hazel, convicted & sentenced to prison as part of the Committee of The States conspiracy & was also a key ‘member’ of the Arizona Patriots and a close associate of the Reverend Jack Oliphant.
The arrest and conviction of Van Hazel, Oliphant, and others resulted from Operation Clean Sweep, a precursor to PATCON and other, similar multi-agency, nationwide investigations into the activities of the extreme right.
Van Hazel claimed that McVeigh was involved with Jack Oliphant and other remnants of the 1980s-era Arizona Patriots who were still active in the 1990s.
Van Hazel claimed that McVeigh had attended two paramilitary training sites, one in Texas and another in Arizona, along with other members of the underground right, and that the actual plot to bomb the Murrah was first hatched at the Texas site in 1992.
Van Hazel claimed not only that he knew McVeigh but that he was with him when McVeigh called a WPM organization to discuss the logistics of renting a moving truck.
Part One also briefly detailed the statements of Robert Millar (head of Elohim City) and Dennis Mahon, who each independently corroborated aspects of Van Hazel’s claims.
Finally, Part One touched on the statements of the spooky “JR,” an unindicted member of the COS conspiracy, and close associate of Oliphant and others, and who, prior to the OKCB, made a curious statement about an undercover FBI informant in Clean Sweep named Robert Jacks.
Part Two explicitly focused on Van Hazel’s claims about McVeigh’s attendance at a paramilitary training camp in Texas.
It briefly discussed a similar claim made years later by PATCON informant John Matthews and knowledge of this by his FBI handler, Don Jarrett.
It looked at the links bet paramilitary training activity in Texas, Aryan Nations, & individuals closely associated with AN, some who helped harbor an, at the time, fugitive Branch Davidian who, himself, wittingly or otherwise, had dealings with a network of international arms dealers closely associated with Roger Moore.
It also noted the fact that both Elohim City and Dennis Mahon had ties to individuals in Arizona.
Part Three A “The One Arm Man In Kingman” looked at the media and FBI’s early investigations of remnants of the Arizona Patriots and Jack Oliphant, and briefly discussed the role of PATCON handler Don Jarrett in the latter.
Part Three B, “Looking For An Army,” focused on McVeigh’s activities in and around Kingman, Arizona, in 1993, as well as contacts he forged and attempted to forge with other well-known and not-so-well-known WPM actors at that time.
Notably, McVeigh’s initial dealings with and/or his proximity to individuals associated with the National Alliance were discussed, as was the relationship of those individuals with Jack Oliphant and Aryan Nations.
Once again, certain links between PATCON and this network were noted, as was the role of PATCON handler Don Jarrett in the FBI’s subsequent OKCB investigation of specific individuals in this network.
Finally, this thread discussed the use of alternate methods of communication by McVeigh, beyond the famed ‘Daryl Bridges Calling Card.’
Apologies for the numerous stupid typos I found in this thread after I’d already posted it. I never intended to suggest that McVeigh “made contact” with himself at a Phoenix gun show. He might have, but that’s not what I was trying to say.🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
Apologies also for the wonky numbering. Initially, 3A & B were one thread, but it ended up being so long that I broke it up into two sections, and, even then, 3B was entirely too long for this forum. 🙄

Part Three B: Looking For An Army, a continuation of Part Three A: “The One Arm Man in Kingman” and an insanely long thread.
As noted, in the spring of 1993, after his significant attendance at the Tulsa gun show, McVeigh took up residence in Kingman, AZ, staying first with the Fortiers and then renting a place at a nearby trailer park. Image
He made calls to an organization in Phoenix headed by Bo Gritz’s good friend, Jack McLamb, to Linda Thompson, who accused him of being in the CIA, to a man in Grand Prairie, Texas, Roger Moore, and in late May, made his first documented call to the National Alliance HQ in Hillsboro, West Virginia.Image

Part Three: A: “The One Arm Man in Kingman” Image
Our story follows Timothy McVeigh’s fateful attendance at a Tulsa gun show in early Spring 1993, where, while manning Roger Moore’s table, he met Dennis Mahon, Andy Strassmeir, and another “white Oakie.” Afterward, he headed to Kingman, Arizona, where he lived until late September 1993.Image
But first, a ‘brief’ detour, which I’m sure you haven’t come to expect from me by now. Image

Part Two: In early June 1995, McVeigh told his defense team that he had a significant number of underground right-wing connections whom he knew independently of Fortier or Nichols. Image
In January 1993, McVeigh abruptly left his home in Western New York and set out on his multi-state bombing odyssey, which ended even more abruptly on April 19, 1995.
Shortly before this, in October 1992, the FBI interviewed the Sheriff of San Saba County, Texas, and another man about the Texas Reserve Militia, aka First Texas Light Infantry, who were conducting paramilitary training at a ranch in San Saba.Image

“King Ryder” was the original name of a screenplay written in the 1980s. The author later changed the title to “Breakdown” in anticipation of its adaptation to film. The story: Image
In the early 1990s, the U.S. is under martial law. Media is controlled. Gasoline is rationed. Interstate travel requires special ID cards (difficult to acquire). Tax protestors are shot and people are disappeared, possibly into one of many concentration camps.
A growing underground resistance movement is led by the protagonist, King Ryder, who writes a book entitled "A Call to Arms," which inspires the formation of militias nationwide, culminating in an uprising against the gov and groups of armed white men attempting to take ‘back’ the country by force. It is illegal to possess King Ryder’s book.

The other day I made a passionate yet vague declaration abt Cheri Seymour being ‘on some next level shit’ & a promise to explain myself. I set out to do so & realized it could take pages just to summarize what I want to say. So pls understand this isn't as detailed as I’d like.
I've felt the urge to do so since seeing some pompous jackass on here who, despite admitting he never read her work, went on to mischaracterize it based on a poorly edited (or intentionally misleading) clip in a recent Netflix documentary, which is annoying.
To begin with, if you don’t know who Cheri Seymour is, she is the author of “Committee of the States: Inside the Radical Right” (1991) and “The Last Circle: Danny Casolaro's Investigation into the Octopus and the PROMIS Software Scandal” (2010). Image
