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.

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.

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.

“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.

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.

How Moore's death certificate became public: in 2015, I saw an obituary for him, which I sent to Jesse & Roger Charles but then vanished from the internet. I actually had to go to Florida, get yelled at by Karen Anderson - who did confirm he was dead &then Jesse filed for the dc I told the story of this on my P2C Moore episode

Roger Moore told reporters and the FBI that he never met Terry Nichols [TN] and wouldn’t know his voice, so he couldn’t help identify him as the man who “robbed” him in Nov 1994. For the most part, McVeigh told the same story. However, McV told Jones, that the robbery was a “red herring” but also the “perfect crime.” In late Aug 1995, McV slipped up and said that other than himself, the only person whom he could think of that Nichols might be able to testify against was Moore.

While Operation Punchout, a DOD/ USAF/ FBI undercover investigation, is most often discussed as a Utah deal, it ‘took place’ in multiple states, including at a gun show in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where a peculiar conversation between Roger Moore and a Punchout operative occurred. Image In it, an uncharacteristically chatty Moore told the undercover about a friend of his who’d recently received an unexpected and unwanted visit by the ATF, who wanted to discuss the man’s sale of weapons parts kits.

To be clear: I made a case that West was in contact with the defense team & West's student was in regular contact. Very documented. Only after Aberration was published was I told by another member of the defense that West saw McV in prison. As explained, once, on P2C. I suppose I made a case that it was very possible but that's as far as I was able to go at the time I wrote Aberration.

On my first trip to Elohim City, I was told to come at a certain time, and when I got there, it was dark. After arriving, I got the feeling that was intentional. At some point during the discussion, I asked to see the grave of Richard Wayne Snell but my request was declined. Image Here are some highlights of Snell’s last days, as outlined in his deathwatch, which is extremely detailed and logs his activities in about 5-minute intervals, including when he went to the bathroom when he asked for the toilet to be flushed, and when he snored.

A little bit from book 2: While countless FBI agents swarmed the Kingman, AZ area as well as, to a lesser extent, the entire state, only certain people, usually very interesting people, were questioned by an agent known to have been a PATCON informant handler. Image For instance, it was a PATCON handler that was assigned to question Jack Oliphant (more on that later). Another man questioned by the PATCON handler was Walter “Mac” McCarty, who most people know as a random man McVeigh met in Kingman whose “gun safety classes” McV attended with Image

In 1995, Roger Moore’s wife of 40 years, Carol, told the FBI that when they lived in Tulsa, both she and RM worked for North American Aviation, where RM “was in charge of the Engineering Department” and she was a secretary. Both held Top Secret government security clearance. Image When asked why she was listed on their Arkansas property records as his sister, she told them it resulted from a clerical error, which she never bothered to correct. In truth, RM had been introducing her to people as his sister for many years, even addressing

I'd like to address the recent misunderstanding bet. myself & Ed Opperman. While the most recent incident, which has resulted in accusations of coordinated & paid harassment campaigns, started over an apparent misunderstanding of a joke I made about myself, my concerns are older. In April 2016, I was contractually obligated to promote Aberration. To this end, I was a guest on Ed’s show. If he “sold” a bunch of books for me, as he now claims, I have no way of knowing, but it is unlikely since I only received my first royalty check about a year ago
