Summary

When Mark Koernke (Mark from Michigan) called into the show late last year, I started the process of finding him a day on the calendar to tell his story. It's a story that really takes shape in the 1990's when the militia movements were growing, largely in response to escalating tensions with a federal government that was growing more brazen in its overreach. We are going to hear about the social conditions of the time, the development of alternative media, and a closer look at some of the more tragic and transformative events of the 1990's, from the perspective of a person who was in the middle of it all.
