Recension: Scorsese tillbaka med ett nytt mästerverk

Recension: Scorsese tillbaka med ett nytt mästerverk

Martin Scorseses ”Killers of the flower moon” lämnar ingen oberörd över den systematiska utrotningen av Osagefolket i Oklahoma på 1920-talet. En hantverksmässigt fulländad film som ger en komplex inblick i USA:s monstruösa historia, tycker Kristoffer Viita.

Här tuggar hunden på batteriet – som exploderar

Här tuggar hunden på batteriet – som exploderar

I ett hem i amerikanska Tulsa, Oklahoma har en hund och en katt lagt sig för att vila. Den andra hunden i hemmet har en powerbank med litiumbatteri i munnen och bär fram den till sin bädd.

När hunden väl lagt sig till rätta börjar den tugga på batteriet – som efter en stud börjar spruta gnistor och blåvit rök väller ut. Plötsligt exploderar powerbanken. Vardagsrummet totalförstört Det börjar brinna i hundens bädd. Hundarna springer runt, tittar på lågorna och skäller innan de till slut springer därifrån. Strax efter är hela vardagsrummet övertänt. Familjen i huset var hemma och kunde larma brandkåren i tid för att rädda själva huset men vardagsrummet blev totalförstört. ”Klarade sig oskadda” Efter den våldsamma batteribranden går brandkåren ut med en uppmaning till alla invånare.

– Man ska inte ladda sina apparater precis vid dörren. Placera den någon annanstans så att det går att fly ut om det skulle börja brinna”, säger Andy Little, presstalesperson Brandkåren Tulsa och fortsätter: – Lyckligtvis klarade sig husdjuren oskadda genom en hundlucka. Det hade kunnat gå riktigt illa annars, om det inte funnits någon form av nödutgång eller om familjen sovit när det hände.

Flera delstater inför "läskautomater" med ammunition: "Dystopi"

Flera delstater inför "läskautomater" med ammunition: "Dystopi"

I delstaterna Alabama, Texas och Oklahoma kommer ammunition att kunna inhandlas smidigt i livsmedelsbutiker genom automater. Distributören bakom, American Rounds, kommer att använda sig av AI-baserad identifiering och ansiktsigenkänning, bland annat för att kunna verifiera ålder, skriver CNN. Krävs inte federal licens Maskinerna kommer att innehålla ammunition till allt från handeldvapen till hagelgevär, enligt företaget. Och redan i november förra året rullade de första exemplaren ut till butiker i Alabama. – Det är inte speciellt annorlunda än att starta någon annan verksamhet, säger vd:n Grant Magers. Myndigheten för alkohol, tobak, skjutvapen och sprängämnen är de som har gett klartecken för automaterna. – En federal licens krävs inte för att sälja ammunition. Kommersiell försäljning av ammunition måste dock följa delstatens lagar och alla tillämpliga federala lagar, säger myndigheten i ett uttalande. ”Verkar vara lagliga” Inte heller riksåklagarmyndigheten i Oklahoma ser några problem med införandet av automaterna. – Granskningen av statliga stadgar visar att dessa varuautomater verkar vara lagliga, säger myndigheten till CNN. Samtidigt planerar American Rounds att expandera till fler stater, och säger att de redan har fått erbjudanden från butiker i bland annat Kalifornien, Florida och Hawaii. Kan köpas vid fel tillfällen Men känslorna inför beslutet är blandade. – Det kan komma i händerna på människor som inte är så ansvarsfulla. Jag ser det helt enkelt inte som en nödvändighet, säger Kip Tyner från Tuscaloosa stadsfullmäktige. Nick Suplina på Everytown, en intresseorganisation mot skjutvapenvåld, säger till Texas Monthly att det är positivt att säkerhetsbarriären för att köpa ammunition höjs med ansiktsigenkänning och verifiering, men att det är ”absurt” att det nu går att köpa ammunition samtidigt som man ”köper mjölk till barnen”. – Dessutom ett stenkast från skolor, säger han. USA Today publicerade nyligen en krönika av Marla Bautista som befarar att människor kan få tag på ammunition vid fel tillfällen, eftersom ingen i kassan kan bedöma hur de mår eller om de är påverkade.

Minst 15 döda i tornado – barn bland offren

Minst 15 döda i tornado – barn bland offren

Tidigare i veckan omkom fem personer när en tornado drog över den lilla staden Greenfield i delstaten Iowa, i centrala USA. Och under natten fortsatte extremvädret när flera tornados slog mot delstaterna Oklahoma och Texas längre söderut. Amerikanska CNN rapporterar att åtminstone 15 personer har dött, och att det ska finnas barn bland de omkomna. Vidare är två barn saknade. 110 miljoner i farozonen – Tyvärr tror vi att antalet förmodligen kommer att stiga, säger Ray Sappington vid polisen i Cook County i Texas på söndagsmorgonen. Tre av offren tillhörde samma familj och hittades i sitt hem på landsbygden i Texas, nära gränsen mot Oklahoma. Över 110 miljoner människor bor i det stora området i mitten av landet som under söndagen fortfarande hotas av vädret, som rör sig österut. Över 250 000 hushåll och arbetsplatser var under söndagen utan elektricitet. Varnar för skogsbrand Parallellt med de extrema stormarna är det väldigt hett i regionen. Temperaturer på en bra bit över 48 grader har registrerats, och myndigheter har utfärdat en varning för skogsbrand i västra Texas, hela New Mexico och delar av Oklahoma, Arizona och Colorado.

Trump befäster ledning efter supertisdag: "Fantastisk natt"

Trump befäster ledning efter supertisdag: "Fantastisk natt"

Kalifornien, Minnesota, Colorado, Arkansas, Texas, Massachusetts, Alabama, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Oklahoma och Maine.

Den tidigare presidenten Donald Trump räknar hem seger efter seger under de amerikanska primärvalens höjdpunkt – supertisdagen. Valen i Utah och Alaska är ännu inte avgjorda.

Trumps enda motkandidat, tidigare FN-ambassadören Nikki Haley, har endast tagit hem en delstat: lilla Vermont. Där var det dessutom jämnt, enligt AP. Sista chansen? Supertisdagen har beskrivits som den sista chansen för Haley att visa vad hon går för. Men under natten svensk tid har hon förlorat flera av de delstater som på förhand tippats varit gynnsamma för henne, som Virginia och Maine.

Under primärvalssäsongen har Nikki Haley tidigare bara vunnit i huvudstadsområdet District of Columbia.

Ungefär en tredjedel av de republikanska delegaterna stod på spel under tisdagen.

Totalt 16 delstater och ett territorium har röstat för att välja delegater som ska staka ut Republikanernas och Demokraternas respektive presidentkandidat. Kan avgöras snart Tidigast nästa vecka kan Trump ha samlat tillräckligt med stöd för att säkra partiets nominering.

Joe Biden, som inte har någon allvarlig utmanare på den demokratiska sidan, har under nattens valyra hittills tagit hem segrar i samtliga röstande delstater utom det lilla amerikanska territoriet Samoa, enligt AP.

"Till alla demokrater, republikaner och oberoende som tror på ett fritt och rättvist Amerika: Detta är vårt ögonblick. Det här är vår kamp. Tillsammans kommer vi att vinna", sade Biden i ett uttalande under natten.

Torpeden Kenneth Smith ska avrättas – med otestad metod

Torpeden Kenneth Smith ska avrättas – med otestad metod

Natten mot torsdagen försvann hans sista hopp. Kenneth Smith, 58, som 1988 mördade en kvinna mot betalning är dömd till döden. Kvinnans make som givit Smith uppdraget tog sitt liv när utredarna kom honom på spåret, skriver CNN. I november 2022 skulle han ha avrättats. Ett försök som misslyckades då personalen på fängelset i delstaten Alabama, i USA, inte hittade en lämplig ven för sprutan. Tidsfristen löpte därför ut. Ny avrättningsmetod godkänd Nu har de tre delstaterna Alabama, Oklahoma och Mississippi godkänt en ny avrättningsmetod som ingen hittills använt. Denna ska nu Smith i stället dödas av genom att andas in ren kvävgas genom en mask vilket leder till akut syrebrist och död. En plan som FN:s människorättsorgan OHCHR för drygt en vecka gick ut och kritiserade i ett pressmeddelande ”Kvävning genom kvävgas kan innebära tortyr eller annan grym, omänsklig eller förnedrande behandling enligt internationella människorättslagar”, skrev Ravina Shamdasan, talesperson. FN har uppmärksammat att veterinärförbundet i USA rekommenderar att lugnande medel kombineras med avrättningsmetoden vid avlivning av stor djur. ”Men Alabamas protokoll för avrättning med kvävgas inkluderar inget lugnande till människor före avrättningen”, skriver Ravina Shamdasan. ”Används som försökskanin” Smiths advokater har överklagat beslutet till en federal appellationsdomstol samt USA:s högsta domstol med motivering att han ”används som försökskanin i ett osäkert experiment”. Smith har även lagt fram motiveringar att han nu kan få en stroke eller hamna i vegetativt tillstånd eller uppleva extrem smärta om avrättningen med kvävgas skulle misslyckas. På onsdagen gav dock Hösta domstolen grönt ljus, utan vidare motivering. Appellationsdomstolen gav även klartecken natten mot torsdagen. Avrättningen är planerad till någon gång mellan klockan 12 på torsdagen till klockan 18 på fredagen, lokal tid.

Country i Scorseses nya: "En del av att vara amerikan"

Country i Scorseses nya: "En del av att vara amerikan"

I Martin Scorseses nya film ”Killers of the Flower Moon” hörs flera gamla klassiska country- och blueslåtar, bland annat en tidig Hank Williams-version av Lovesick Blues. I en intervju med Washington Post säger Scorsese att det var hans mamma Catherine som fick honom att bli förälskad i countrymusiken. Regissören säger att hans olika musikaliska impulser ”blandas ihop” i ”Killers of the Flower Moon”, som handlar om ett mord på en person från den amerikanska ursprungsbefolkningen i Oklahoma på 1920-talet. – Det är en del av att vara amerikan tror jag, säger Scorsese om musikvalen. – Jag lärde mig denna tunga läxa när jag försökte bo i Rom i slutet av 70-talet och tänkte ett tag att jag var italienare. Det är jag inte. Läs hela intervjun via länken nedan.

"USA har blivit ledande exportör av vit makt-terror"

"USA har blivit ledande exportör av vit makt-terror"

När en man skjuter ihjäl två människor på en bar i Bratislava är det med homofobiskt och rasistiskt motiv. I det manifest han publicerar på engelska framkommer att han stöder idéer från vit makt-grupper i USA. Ideologin bygger ofta på teorier som ”det stora folkutbytet” – en föreställning som används allt oftare av den amerikanska extremhögern. Efter att USA regelbundet kritiserat andra länder för export av terrorism, börjar nu andra – allierade – länder lagstifta mot amerikanska individer och grupper som man betraktar som terrorister från vit makt-miljön, skriver de amerikanska terrorforskarna Bruce Hoffman och Jacob Ware i Foreign Affairs. How the United States Became a Leading Exporter of White Supremacist Terrorism By Bruce Hoffman and Jacob Ware 19 September 2023 In its decades-long fight against terrorism, the United States regularly criticized countries such as Iran, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia for exporting extremist ideologies and violence. Ironically, today the United States stands accused of doing the same. The spread of homegrown American conspiracy theories, beliefs in racial superiority, antigovernment extremism, and other manifestations of hate and intolerance has become such a problem that some of the United States’ closest allies—Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom—have designated both American groups and citizens as foreign terrorists. Although little reported by the U.S. press, the October 2022 killing of two people at a gay bar in Bratislava, Slovakia, by a man espousing racist and homophobic views is an example of the pernicious effects of this “made in America” ideology. In a now all-too-common pattern, the gunman posted a manifesto explaining his intent just before the attack. Written in English, the document displayed all the racist, anti-Semitic, and homophobic justifications that have become de rigueur for this type of hate-filled violence. More significant, the manifesto expressed a solidarity and affinity with a U.S.-centric white supremacist ideology that has gained greater currency in both the United States and other countries in recent years. “The number of non-White invaders in America continues to grow and grow, unchecked,” the killer wrote. The gunman also cited a white supremacist terrorist attack earlier that year on a supermarket in a Black community in Buffalo, New York, as having inspired him. After decades of insufficient and ineffective efforts to suppress a racist antigovernment fringe, the United States has become the exemplar of far-right extremism and terrorism. Far-right violence today is increasingly fueled by a deadly combination of ideology and strategy imported from the United States. The “great replacement” theory, which claims that nonwhite individuals are purposefully being brought into Western countries to undermine the political power of white voters, got its start in France, but this kind of thinking has long been a fixture of American white supremacism. These days, it is making its way into mainstream rhetoric in the United States and is acquiring an increasingly international audience. These American extremists have also adopted from Marxism the strategic goal of “accelerationism,” meaning hastening the collapse of society by fomenting chaos and bloodshed. The United States’ exportation of these two ideas is radicalizing men and women across the globe, prompting foreign governments to take steps to protect their citizens. But at base, this is an American problem, and it therefore requires American leadership to solve it. In the United States, the great replacement conspiracy theory has been supercharged over the past decade by social media and the backlash to the election of President Barack Obama. Once a fringe theory popular among white supremacists, the theory developed deeper roots in the United States as it also spread further abroad. At the same time, the far right in the United States promoted the idea that violence is needed to kick-start the collapse of U.S. institutions and society. The great replacement theory holds that there is an ongoing diminution of white people and culture as part of a deliberate strategy by Jews and liberal elites. The theory claims that this goal is being achieved by generous immigration laws and uncontrolled illegal cross-border migration, the vigorous enfranchisement of minority groups, and the erasure or fundamental recalibration of traditional cultural norms. The French nationalist Renaud Camus popularized the theory in the early 2010s, but it in fact has deep American roots, dating back to at least the Reconstruction Era. After the Civil War, as the country integrated millions of newly freed African Americans, segments of the country’s white population adopted replacement rhetoric, citing race riots, allegations of rapes of white women by Black men, and fears that the Black population was being granted constitutional rights in order to dilute the existing white vote. In the 1920s, the Ku Klux Klan sent delegations to the national presidential conventions of both the Democratic and Republican parties and helped the Republicans’ 1924 presidential nominee, Calvin Coolidge, win election that year. It lobbied for the infamous Immigration Act of 1924, which was designed to deter Asians, Italians, and Jews from settling in the United States. These racist views gained a renewed lease on life in the 1980s, when a succession of white supremacists embraced replacement arguments. Robert Mathews, the founder and leader of the Order, a neo-Nazi terrorist group active in 1983-84, boasted of having drunk deeply from this well of white supremacy, racism, and anti-Semitism. In a membership form distributed during the 1980s and 1990s, Richard Butler, the leader of Aryan Nations, another neo-Nazi group, similarly used replacement theory to attract new adherents to the movement. “Aliens are pouring over as a flood into each of our ancestral lands, threatening dispossession of the heritage, culture, and very life blood of our posterity,” he explained. Then came the election of Obama, the country’s first African American president, which for racists provided fresh evidence that tyranny and electoral malfeasance had occurred. Meanwhile, populist movements were gaining momentum across the democratic world, in no small part in response to refugee flows stemming from wars in the Middle East and to Black Lives Matter activism in the United States. Right-wing parties won elections in the United States in 2016 and Brazil in 2022 and triumphed in the Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom in 2016. During the administration of Donald Trump, these nativist fears gained even greater currency in the United States. His campaign had repeatedly caricatured both nonwhites and non-Christians as threats to U.S. national security and indeed to Americans themselves. In 2017, after an activist was killed in Charlottesville, Virginia, after a “Unite the Right” rally in which white supremacists and neo-Nazis paraded through the University of Virginia campus with torches chanting slogans like “Jews will not replace us” and “Blood and soil,” Trump declared that there had been “very fine people on both sides.” The far right embraced the president’s statement as an endorsement, and the movement was suddenly given a new lease on life, with the most powerful supporter of all sitting in the White House. The great replacement theory’s spread was abetted by the terrorist strategy known as accelerationism, an effort to foment cataclysmic violent chaos as a means to seize power. Karl Marx and Frederick Engels initially articulated the idea in their seminal 1848 pamphlet, The Communist Manifesto. In the United States, the term “accelerationism” first surfaced as a concept for a white supremacist revolution in the 1980s-era newsletter Siege, which was written by James Mason, a dedicated acolyte of William Luther Pierce, an even more influential white supremacist ideologue. Pierce wrote arguably the most influential book of American white supremacist literature, a 1978 call to arms titled The Turner Diaries. The novel tells the story of a 35-year-old electrical engineer named Earl Turner who joins “The Organization,” a white nationalist movement, and takes part in its two-year terrorist campaign after a predatory government attempt to seize all legally held firearms, forcing him and his “fellow patriots” underground. Among the more noteworthy moments in the book is the “Day of the Rope,” when the Organization carries out a public mass execution by hanging alleged “race traitors.” The book details a bombing of the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., a particularly important passage given its chilling similarity to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Both of these scenes from The Turner Diaries perfectly captured the accelerationist ethos by detailing acts of violence against the government that brought on an apocalyptic race war. Accelerationism has provided both a stunningly simple and seductively attractive ideological and strategic model for would-be terrorists. Few twenty-first-century terrorists have more emphatically embodied accelerationism and its American roots than Dylann Roof, the gunman responsible for the mass shooting at a Black church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015. “It is far from being too late for America or Europe,” his manifesto declared. “I believe that even if we made up only 30 percent of the population we could take it back completely. But by no means should we wait any longer to take drastic action.” John Earnest, a gunman who attacked a synagogue in Poway, California, in April 2019, was similarly inspired by a desire to accelerate a new civil war. “In case you haven’t noticed we are running out of time,” Earnest wrote. “If this revolution doesn’t happen soon, we won’t have the numbers to win it.” Indeed, echoes of The Turner Diaries and its accelerationist credo are also found in the treatises of today’s anti-government extremists. The Boogaloo movement, which attracted increasing attention during the chaotic summer of 2020, takes its name from its ambition to spark a sequel civil war. And a scaffold and hangman’s noose symbolically erected outside the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, showed the “Day of the Rope” was far too close to becoming reality. Thanks to technology, these isolated expressions of racism, anti-Semitism, xenophobia, and homophobia can rapidly acquire a global audience and play to an international constituency. The ideology bounces across oceans through networks brought together by central marketplaces on social media. In March 2019, Brenton Tarrant, a white supremacist terrorist animated by these dangerous ideologies and strategies, murdered 51 worshipers in two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. He linked his choice of weapons, primarily an AR-15 assault rifle, to the impact it might have in the United States, declaring to have chosen “firearms for the affect it would have on social discourse, the extra media coverage they would provide, and the affect it could have on the politics of United states and thereby the political situation of the world.” Scrawled across the stock of his semi-automatic weapons were several key terms from the history of far-right violence, including references to the “14 words,” a credo of U.S. origin extolling the importance of protecting the white race for future generations. Tarrant was also an outspoken proponent of accelerationist doctrine, proudly declaring, “True change and the change we need to enact only arises in the great crucible of crisis.” The dark shadow of the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol has also inspired others similarly seeking to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power in their countries. Earlier this year in Brazil, a mob motivated by grievances similar to those of the Trump supporters in Washington sought to emulate the January 2021 rioters by storming their capital city’s government center in hopes of overturning an election outcome. Their preferred candidate, Jair Bolsonaro, watched the events unfold on television from his self-imposed exile in Florida. The United States’ stature as a pillar and exemplar of democracy had been overtaken by the Trump administration’s election denialism playbook. Bolsonaro’s supporters even sought guidance and advice from senior former White House officials, including the former senior Trump adviser Steve Bannon. “We have become exporters of right-wing extremism, damaging one of our best weapons in securing our international standing—our example,” the terrorism expert Matthew Levitt wrote after January 6, 2021. And such violence has profound implications for the United States’ place in the world: it contributes to the United States’ being viewed as weak, divided, and vulnerable. It also diverts American resources and energy to healing divisions at home rather than to confidently engaging the world on key issues such as climate change, pandemic prevention, and protecting the international order. Knowing this, adversaries of the United States have exploited this vulnerability in their own influence and information operations. Russia, for instance, has supported neo-Nazi groups such as the Russian Imperial Movement, which was designated a global terrorist group by the Trump administration in 2020. The group maintains an open symbiotic relationship with the Russian government and American and European officials believe it carried out a letter bomb campaign in Spain toward the end of 2022. Iran has also taken steps to encourage far-right terrorism in the West. In December 2020, FBI Director Christopher Wray and at least 11 other senior U.S. officials were put on an online hit list targeting U.S. government officials who publicly backed the integrity of the 2020 election results. They were deemed “Enemies of the People,” and their home addresses and other personal information were shared. Later that month, the FBI announced that it had linked Iran to the site. As right-wing extremism spreads, partners of the United States have taken steps to try to stop it. The Canadian government, for instance, has designated one of the groups involved in the January 6 attack, the Proud Boys, as a terrorist entity, noting, “The group and its members have openly encouraged, planned, and conducted violent activities against those they perceive to be opposed to their ideology and political beliefs.” The United States’ closest ally now singles out American groups and individuals as threats to their country the same way the United States has targeted entities with ties to al Qaeda and the Islamic State. Canada has also designated other U.S.-based neo-Nazi movements as terrorist entities, including Atomwaffen and the Base as well as Mason, the American author of Siege. Because today’s right-wing extremism is first and foremost an American problem, solving it will depend on American leadership. To start, the White House should direct the State Department to designate foreign neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups as foreign terrorist organizations. Of the 73 such groups on the State Department’s current list, no relevant neo-Nazi or white supremacist groups are included. This is especially surprising because the most recent National Strategy for Counterterrorism, released in October 2018, named two violent far-right extremist organizations: the Nordic Resistance Movement in Scandinavian countries and the National Action group in the United Kingdom. Congress should also consider passing a domestic terrorism law to formally criminalize plots and violence targeting individuals on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, national identity, sexuality, gender, political affiliation, and other protected categories. Today, violent American extremists cannot be charged for providing material in support of patently violent domestic groups or for plotting acts which are otherwise classified as terrorist attacks when a foreign terrorist entity is involved. This omission in the law reinforces a perception that foreign terrorists, often only distinguishable by skin color or religion, are treated more harshly by the judicial system than domestic terrorists. The absence of domestic terrorism laws has also led to an inequity in sentencing depending on whether the crimes were committed on behalf of a designated foreign terrorist organization or a domestic violent extremist group. Providing the U.S. Department of Justice with the ability to designate violent extremist groups and individuals as domestic terrorists is both controversial and challenging. Critics of this proposal have argued that the designation of domestic violent extremist groups as terrorist organizations would inevitably become dangerously politicized and partisan. Those fearing overbearing legal remedies should remember that in 1870, President Ulysses S. Grant created the Department of Justice specifically to counter the terrorism being carried out by the Ku Klux Klan and other violent groups that were active in Southern states. But a new domestic terrorism law seems a small step by comparison, and it would send a resounding message: there is no place for political violence in a democracy. © 2023 Council on Foreign Relations, publisher of Foreign Affairs.

Episode 198: The Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders Part 2

The conclusion to this horrific case is finally here. Tonight we talk about Oklahoma's most massive manhunt, we discuss the mounting evidence against Gene Leroy Hart and we discuss some questionable police work that may have cost them their case in the end. Unfortunately, this case technically remains unsolved, despite many attempts to get something from the DNA evidence that was poorly stored for so many years. It's a tragedy that hopefully will one day have some real closure.  Sources for these episodes: The Camp Scott Murders by C.S.

Episode 197: Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders Part 1

Alaina pulls at our heartstrings this week with part one of the Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders. In June of 1977, eight year old Lori Lee Farmer, nine year old Michelle Heather Guse and ten year old Doris Denise Milner headed off to Camp Scott for a two week girl scout experience. Unfortunately someone, or potentially multiple someones, had been lurking around the camp in the weeks leading up to night one. Whoever it was had more than sinister plans to kill the three girl scouts camping out in tent one. In Part One we’ll go over who each girl was, the night of the murders and we’ll end it on a pretty convincing suspect. Don’t bet too heavy on him though, in part two Alaina will bring some evidence to the table pointing away from who we thought was our lead suspect.  As always, thank you to our sponsors!

Terror in Patriot’s Clothing: The Story of Tim McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing

The Oklahoma City bombing was a domestic terrorist truck bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States, on April 19, 1995, the second anniversary of the fiery end to the Waco siege. It was the deadliest act of terrorism in U.S. history until the September 11th attacks in 2001, and remains the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history, and the second-deadliest overall. #crimehub #oklahomacitybombing #okcitybombing Learn more about your ad choices.

Oklahoma City Bombing Pt. 2

The 1995 Oklahoma City bombing carried out by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols was the deadliest act of domestic terrorism ever carried out by American citizens on their own country’s soil.

Oklahoma Is Not O.K.

On November 16, 1907, Oklahoma became the 46th U.S. state. White settlers and certain American Indians united behind statehood, but another group of residents was skeptical. Black Americans. They worried statehood would lead to segregation. One Black tribal citizen, James Coody Johnson, set out to stop the creation of Oklahoma. The fight that unfolded forever changed Black Americans’ relationship with the tribes. This episode originally aired Nov. 16, 2022. Learn more about your ad choices.
