By the way, did McVeigh have anything to do at all with white power?Nothing at all. And he never said anything remotely Christian or conservative, either.
He was a patsy for Islamic terrorists. As was Terry Nichols, who -- evidence suggests -- learned bomb-making from Ramzi Yousef in the Philippines.
From "terror-czar" Richard Clarke's Against All Enemies (page 127):
"Another conspiracy theory intrigued me because I could never disprove it. The theory seemed unlikely on its face: Ramzi Yousef or Khalid Sheik Muhammad had taught Terry Nichols how to blow up the Oklahoma Federal Building. The problem was that, upon investigation, we established that both Ramzi Yousef and Nichols had been in the city of Cebu on the same days. I had been to Cebu years earlier; it is on an island in the central Philippines, It was a town in which word could have spread that a local girl was bringing her American boyfriend home and that the American hated the U.S. government."
"Yousef and Khalid Sheik Muhammad had gone there to create an al Qaeda spinoff, a Philippine affiliate chapter, named after a hero of the Afghan war against the Soviets, Abu Sayaff. Could the al Qaeda explosives expert have been introduced to the angry American who proclaimed his hatred for the U.S. government? We do not know, despite some FBI investigation. We do know that Nichols's bombs did not work before his Philippine stay and were deadly when he returned. We also know that Nichols continued to to call Cebu long after his wife returned to the United States. The final coincidence is that several al Qaeda operatives had attended a radical Islamic conference a few years earlier in, of all places, Oklahoma City."
“The theory seemed unlikely on its face”
I don’t how unlikely it was. Assume for a second that McVeigh and John Doe #2 were, in fact, conservatives. Would that matter to Islamic terrorists? We’re all just white people to them. They care as much about the difference between conservatives and liberals as the average American cares about Kurds and Shi’ites.
As for the homegrowners themselves, is the implication that conservatives wouldn’t conspire with foreign devils? Seems to me if they’re willing to kill innocent fellow citizens, they just might be unscrupulous enough to deal with foreigners.
