A militant white separatist named Robert Millar founded Elohim City,
Oklahoma in 1972, eventually attracting a population of over 100. Millar
predicted a sequence of disasters beginning with the invasion of the
United States by Asian powers in 2000, followed by natural catastrophes
and the return of Christ.
Questions were raised in the 90s when
it came to light that Timothy McVeigh was in contact with a number of
residents of Elohim City in the lead-up to the Murrah Federal Building
attack. However, none of his contacts were named as co-conspirators.
Robert Millar died this day in 2001.
