This is just a running laugh track of FBI bullshit. They found a Nazi, set him up with literally everything he needed to do a bomb attack from start to finish, then “caught” him the day before the election.

Also, note where our man Merrick says how they found out about this guy - “Confidential Human Sources”. Not spooky spyware or anything, dude just told someone who snitched. Nobody talks, everybody walks.

I salute our brave secret police and their ongoing campaign to catch guys they convinced to do terror plots in the first place. At least this time they actually picked a Nazi instead of a socially isolated mentally ill kid or something.

Philippi talked about operational security, including the need for disguises, the use of leather gloves (because latex and nitrile gloves can transfer fingerprints), wearing shoes that are too big, the need to burn their clothes after the attack, and not bringing smartphones on the night of the attack.

On Nov. 2, 2024, Philippi participated in a Nordic ritual, which included reciting a Nordic prayer and discussing the Norse god Odin. Philippi told the UCEs that “this is where the New Age begins” and that it was “time to do something big” that would be remembered “in the annals of history.”

Imagining this guy wearing Groucho Marx glasses with clown shoes, leather gloves on his hands, while reenacting the bear warrior ritual scene from The Northman.

More and more convinced that McVeigh was set up and trained by the FBI and they intended to catch him before the act, just like this, only they fucked up really really bad

This article is basically a primer for Aberration in the Heartland of the Real. McVeigh connects like a spiders web across 1990’s conspiracies. He’s like the forest gump of conspiracy theories.

That book portrays McVeigh as some proto-channer. It’s wild how he was just the gen x 90s version of some dude who browses /b/.

Idk. There’s a couple of critical things that let McVeigh do what he was doing. The OKC bombing was a major factor in what lead to Ammonia Nitrate fertilizer becoming strictly tracked and regulated in the US. He had knowledge of how to do what he did going in, he didn’t need someone to teach him. Everything was a lot more fast and loose in the 90s. This was before the internet as we know it, before 2001 lead to the creation of fusion intelligence centers to share info from the local level up to the feds, before a lot of innovations.

A lot of these things are either created by or compromised by the feds, but it’s also important that a small group of people who can maintain strict secrecy can be extremely hard to track or stop. There weren’t really any whatsapp chats or twitter threads for McVeigh to say stupid shit on. The telcos weren’t GPS tracking the movements of everyone’s phones. The US alphabet soup had much more primitive resources than they do not.

Could they have been involved? certainly. But I think it’s very plausible and likely that McVeigh had the knowledge and means to carry it off himself.

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.

Why do white supremacists always take on the Nordic or viking aesthetic? There’s so many flavors of cracker. I guess there’s sometimes German, too, if they want to go full Nazi, but I see the viking shit more often these days.

That’s where a lot of it initially came from. Like, the proto-Nazis basically invented the modern conception of Vikings back in the late 1800s. And Vikings went most places white Europeans did so any can claim them. Part of the reason they’ve stuck with it might be vikings having an acceptably modern aesthetic. Men wore trousers, women wore dresses. Go too far in either direction you’ve got men wearing dresses again. But a lot of it just htat when Euros needed to make up a past for themselves so they could pretend that nation states were real the Nazis and English and Scandanavians all kind of picked “vikings” to be their thing so there’s a lot of lore and stuff b ehind it.

Oh part of it is also that fash thing that “vikings” weren’t Christian (read Jewish) and that pre-Christian norse paganism was a cool good manly religion unlike soft Jewish bad Christianity, so that’s a big factor in it. You see plenty of htem fixate on the Crusades, Teutonic Knights, or Charlemagne, or Rome, or whatever.

Honestly it’s mostly just incoherent tosh. I imagine a lot of them just imprint on to whatever their first fascist fake history youtube channel is and go from there.

Also very funny that they waited until the weapon was activated, armed, and ready to fly. Like, guys, what was the plan if your patsy did a few modifications while your back was turned and set it up for GPS nav or something? Are you absolutely sure he was using your hopefully fake payload and not some other payload?

Getting to the sting and being like

“gee, guys, it was really great for you to provide me with all the plans, weapons, training, ideas, and actually writing my manifesto for me, but i don’t think this is what I really want”.

Then just walking away…

spoiler

Until your buddies jump out of the bushes with cameras and confetti and strobe lights and shit and you turn around and you’re like “PRANKED!” hahahaha you’re on tiktok bro it was all a prank! and then you high five all the FBI guys hten you and your buddies and the FBI blow up a federal building together.

If you tried to back out at the last minute still knick you for agreeing to the plan at some point. The FBI will arrest people who refused to participate but still glanced at some map.
