Shownotes Transcript

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

Most of us here at Dark History know about the Waco massacre. But nobody really talks about how the Waco massacre led to the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in United States history.  And the story of how we got there is WILD. I’m talking Doomsday preppers, a Neo Nazi book that still inspires people today, and a whole lot of weird cult stuff. This is... The Dark History of the Oklahoma City Bombing. 

I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
