Please tell me Jordan is going to be the permanent host. The way he let Michael Shannon breathe as he responded to his questions (versus jumping in and hurrying him along) was refreshing. Well done!

Its so interesting to see this being covered as an adult. I grew up in the 90s and it was a short couple year spand that just kept going. First Ruby Ridge, next year Waco, and just a couple years later Oklahoma city. And they all were connected in a weird way. I dont think you can really cover one without covering them all. It was a series of tragic dominos.

@raziele92 Жыл бұрын

The most interesting part is that to someone that grew up in the 90s it might seem like it was only those incidents that exist in conjunction with each other, but in reality it goes back to the inception of the FBI, CIA, and ATF. From the assassination of John F Kennedy to the shootout with the Black Panther Party, it is obvious that there are factions inside of government that are willing to annihilate any discerning entities that are a threat to their hold on power. Just look at what is going on today with the fiasco against Donald. I'm not a fan of that con man, but they are trying really hard to keep him from running, instead of trying to beat him with votes. Why do you think that is?

I think of government as more about infrastructure, a functional society is a peaceful one. Corporations USED to be temporary, perhaps that should still be true but if not, we MOST DEFINITELY need something strong between us and a corporation. The victims in Ecuador of an oil company that almost has Texas in its name? Those native Ecuadorans would agree.

Shannon is one of my favourite actors. He is truly a remarkable dude that is able to sink into a role and become that person. He was for the longest time very underrated and was not cast in many roles, but those that he landed he aced. And to such a degree it made people believe the character he played was real: They hated the man AND the actor. Some people can't make the difference sometimes, which amazes me.

I'm old enough to remember Waco and Oklahoma City. Back then conspiracy theorists were outside the norm. Militia's were hiding in the woods. Not anymore because the other day I watched my local soldier cosplayers get lunch at a grocery store. They were all dressed in fatigues that didn't match but the funny part was none of them spoke to or acknowledged each other. Unless I missed the dress in your battle fatigue day memo they stuck out like a sore thumb and if their mission was to be incognito they failed miserably.

I haven't seen the shows but I remember the event at Waco when it happened. Regardless of the awful ideology and the gun amassing of the Branch Davidians, the government's action was appalling. There is no other story to this than what the government did was a horrific crime, and that is what should be remembered.
