In a way, The Turner Diaries shows how white supremacists carried out the insurrection – and it provides a pretty clear idea of what’s coming next. Historian Kathleen Belew says that even in the 1980s, supremacy groups “kept stacks of them, not just one copy but 15 copies in the book house of one white power terrorist group. They distributed them at paramilitary training camps. Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh carried and read and sold the book to others on the gun show circuit. And it’s just one of those things that keeps coming up because it answers this question of how a fringe movement can exert military control on a superstate like the United States.” – Los Angeles Times
