in the 80's and eat 90's there was a large movement of unhappy people who believed that the us govt was building a larger world government (the nwo) that would strip all power from the people and destroy the nation through open borders and economic offshoring (ie globalism). this populist movement hit its height of popularity with presidential candidate ross perot. after clinton won, the media went into overdrive classifying any perot or anti-nwo or anti-globalist person as evil militia supporters - everyone was a member of the militia movement. ok city was the ultimate symbol of how evil and wrong-headed the militia movement was and how everyone should just calm down and listen to the authorities
