Oh man I thought I was losing it. Like how did I see this video without it being out already. Really made me feel crazy for a minute there guys. Great content hope it doesn't affect the views on this video too much. Keep up the great videos!
Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski , have you done a bio on him ????
Where are you from Simon?
@@dirtymikentheboys5817I'm from the UK, specifically the county of Kent in the south-east.

Ruby Ridge and Waco were super messed up. The guy from Ruby Ridge who missed his court date was given the wrong date in his summons, and had been tricked into breaking the law by the ATF to begin with when an informant asked him to shorten the barrel of a gun just a tiny bit under what was legal under the pretense that it was for a child.
I remember reading " A guy drove up on a motorcycle and told man @ cabin ; l'll pay you $100.00 for every sawed off shotgun barrel you ...alter..."
Rolling Stone Mag....?
The atf shot and killed a woman while she was holding a baby.
Both were handled by blood thirsty animals. I am not condoning what David K did at all with young girls. I believe both incidents could have been dealt with better than what took place. It’s all so tragic.
And they now wonder why they *have* to be super careful to not "entrap" them i think the term is callled?

I grew up in Oklahoma City, and I can remember seeing the glass windows in my math class violently shake due to the shock wave that came after the detonation of the bomb. After the news broke about the cause, I waited along with other kids who had a parent who worked in the downtown area, huddled in front of television sets, to hear of more details, and for some to hope we could see our parent(s) walk by the cameras. That day, in middle school was the first time I realized my parents were mortal, truly realized the tradegy that my parents could and would die some day. I'm one of the lucky... my father wasn't hurt. But many didn't get that set of news.
I'm proud to be an "Okie!", and prouder yet to see what we created from rubble. If anyone is interested, look up the survivor tree... And how we honored it.
My wife has cousins in OKC, and visiting them over the years I had the opportunity to see the construction of the memorial on the site of the Murrah Building. It is beautiful and heart wrenching - though the notes, pictures, shoes, license plates, etc. tied onto the construction fence while the memorial was being built were what brought me to tears.
I also grew up in OKC. I was in my 5th grade class reading "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" when I heard the explosion. My mother and sister had been downtown that morning, and had gotten away only minutes before the bomb went off.
proud to be an Okie?? what does that means. i am not an Okie. so should i write that i am proud not to be an Okie? or is it something like i am proud to be male?
Thank you so much for sharing your memories of that experience. I had an extremely similar experience during the we'll trade center 9/11 attack in NYC and my heart went up it to my throat in empathy while reading your story.
Try growing up in Northern Ireland. There were so many bombs you become numb to it.
“My gun is loaded, officer.”
“So is mine.”
Why do I feel like this cop is from a movie with Clint Eastwood?
I called it "cheesy edgelord"
McVeigh: "They'll never catch us"
90 minutes later...
McVeigh: "Crap."
If that doesn’t say it all then I don’t know what does.
Lee Harvey Oswald was also caught pretty quick. How does someone plan a crime like this and then leave the scene with an upside down and drive on a highway
I don't think they ever thought they were gonna skate....unless they triggered the reaction from the people they were hoping for.
@@broom3298 even weirder the guy who killed Oswald. The fbi needed something to justify themselves after Waco.
@@broom3298 Oswald was just a mental case
Kills 160 people.
Drives away from the scene in a car with no license plate.
Logic = “am I a joke to you”
It's brain lacks wrinkles.
The funny thing about extremists, they tend to hold their principles above practicality. He was anti-gubmint, and a license plate is gubmint.
@@thegardenofeatin5965 good insight
It’s like a super extreme version of if you have drugs make sure the drugs are the only thing illegal you are doing. You wouldn’t drive 95 with a pound of weed in your car but this dude drives without a license plate after committing terrorism 🤔
They were probably distracted from the explosion but it shouldn’t happen of course

I was working in Tulsa, OK when I got news of the bombing and location. My Father had an appointment at 9:00 a.m. at the Social Security office at eve Murragh building. I was frantically trying to call and all the lines were jammed. No one worked the rest of that day. We just were glued to the TV.
I finally got hold of my Dad, he didn’t go to the meeting. If he had, he would have been among the victims.
I am so proud of Oklahomans. The first responders and crew never paid a penny for anything. Hot meals were brought to them. Soda. Snacks. Candy bars. You name it, it was provided. Our doctors and nurses came from all over the State. They heard the news and got in a car to help.
The Oklahoma City memorial is lovely and honors the lives lost.
Glad to hear your dad made it. I was ten when this happened I remember hearing about it. It was so sad and senseless
An interesting concept - theoretically - if MDA had existed back in 1995 - & then Tim wood have had the opportunity to eliminate hundreds of Redcoats - with no civilian losses - he wood have done that & left the Murrah building alone ! Your thoughts ?
I worked for SSA in that building and was in the supply stockroom that morning. Had I been at my desk at the reception area I would have died. We lost the majority of our visitors in the reception area. I won’t go into the awful details of my experience but be very glad your dad wasn’t there. I lost most of my unit that morning, many friends and a great supervisor. Our office was directly underneath the daycare. Awful, awful day.
I was there when it happened. I was in the 3rd grade. My mother was acting coroner for the state, and my father was a structural engineer, who was on the survey team that built the Murrah building.
My mom came in to collect bodies, my dad was there to tell what places of the wreckage were safe to walk on and what would collapse under too much weight.
The dogs they used to find survivors were getting depressed and giving up because they weren't finding anyone alive anymore.
People, myself inclided, had to crawl inside and cry out so that the dogs would find living people so that they would be motivated to work again.
At the memorial there's the "Survivors Tree". Under that tree is an Indian head penny, because my dad used to park his Indian motorcycle under that tree when he helped build that building.
Here's an interesting concept - theoretically - *if* MDA had existed back in 1995 - & then Tim wood have had the opportunity to eliminate hundreds of Redcoats - with no civilian losses - he wood have done that & left the Murrah building alone ! You thoughts ?
The dog thing also happened at 9/11
Those poor dogs. Imagine such loving creatures being depressed that they can't fulfill their jobs? Animals can suffer ptsd as well as humans. Hoping they went on to loving homes afterwards and spent the rest of their days chasing Frisbees, eating home cooked meals a few times a week, and being pet/cuddled to help them get restful sleep. Plus their own furniture to take a break from being a dog too. Those brave canines. You're also brave for giving those heroes motivation to keep working too.

You should have mentioned that Weaver "missed" his court date because the court papers they sent Randy had the wrong date on them.
its almost like they weren't to be trusted...
Actually they tried to contact him multiple times, directly and through his lawyers. He refused to talk to both the government when called, his lawyer and they even informed nearby neighbors.
@Old Iron His child shot at US Marshalls ? Secondly his wife was shot in the head through a door. I doubt they were using infrared scopes. Anymore excuses for criminals committing murder and then dying for it ?
@Old Iron Yes, they did identify themselves as marshals, you could easily look up this information. They shot where the target is going, i.e. leading the target. Furthermore, while an ifrared scope doesn't differentiate targets it does allow you to see if there is a heat signature behind a door (i.e. a human being). The family killed a U.S. marshall do you think they were just going to walk away from it with no issues? If you do then you are naive. The U.S. government didn't own slaves, which makes your slavery argument irrelevant? Do you have any more ad-hoc fallacies you want to throw out? You know what would have solved this, I can tell you surrendering to the government for a crime you've been indicted for, he could have had due process yet chose not to do so and it cost lives in the process on both sides.
y'all have been watching too many movies... Infrared scopes can't even see through glass (they only see the temp of the glass...or anything else) & they damn sure can't see through walls & doors.
Timmy Turner... I made a weird association with Timothy McVeigh and Fairly Odd Parents. “Timmy was an average kid that no one understands...”
Brian Odell ATF + FBI always giving him commands (bad twerp).
He even read The "Turner" Diaries.
I sense a "creepy cartoon theory" creepypasta in the works here. One that will finally put the "Ash in a coma" and "Angelica is hallucinating Rugrats" ones to shame!
Brian Odell what do you understand? He was socially isolated, disillusioned and a loner, and he committed a terrible act of violence against people who weren’t his enemy
@@conors4430 they were his enemy, that's why he killed them.
It's worth noting that Randy Weaver only missed that court date because he was told it was a month later, so either a miscommunication or a typo set that off
Ironic. If he had blown up FBI headquarters in Texas, he'd have been seen as avenging Waco.
Well Ironically he was too much of a coward to do that
Obviously you don’t know Texans that well

Lol why he roast the family like that 😂 “ a family of nobodys”😭
He really dragged them for no reason. 😂😂😂
You always present these so professionally, even when they're controversial. My parents lived and worked in Oklahoma City. My dad worked near the Murrah Building and watched the bodies of children pulled out from his office window. He still won't talk about it.
He does have a wonderful delivery, however he is not without his own personal bias and vitriol.
@@MikeHunt-rz4xoit's a brit though he gets old real fast
If he had detonated the bomb at the ATF, FBI or IRS headquarters and not hurt any children in the process feel the public would of taken it very differently.
Yeah it’s sad he got the bad ending.
Truth be told ruby ridge and And Waco were handled very poorly. This gave “ justification” in the mind of a terribly misguided David Koresh.
Ruby ridge shouldn't be lumped in with Waco. Both were tragedies, but the Weaver's did pretty much nothing to deserve their fate.
@JcJ * yeah, well. Then russians were right to make carpet bombings in Chechnya in '94 and Israel was right to bomb Lebanon pretty much every year from 1983 to 1990 and from 2006 to 2007? Defending their own nations from separatists and islamic fanatics)
JcJ * you realize there’s no proof that weaver was a white supremacist? No one in his family deserved it
@@user-ur8hl8lr7q Its not what Weaver/Koresh did, Its how bad it was handled, and they were both handled, at sometime by the same ATF/FBI agent... I forgot his name darn
@@user-ur8hl8lr7q Running at policemen with guns... Nobody deserves to be killed this way, yet I highly doubt many who say this would apply the same standards of someone deserving to be shot to the high death rate of afro-americans when encountering police. Kind of smells of hippocracy.
I’m from Oklahoma, born and raised, just a year after the bombing. Growing up, this was something you learned about very early on if you weren’t alive to experience it. Everyone has a story of where they were when they felt the explosion, my parents worked in Norman about 25 minutes south of the building and felt the windows of the dealership shake. No one knew what had happened, they just knew they needed to turn on the television.
Now, I work 5 min. from the memorial, I drive by it all the time and see the fence where people leave plush toys, photos, and cards so we never forget the lives lost.
All that being said, I’ve only walked the grounds of the building, but have never been inside the museum.
You know you did bad when your defence lawyers are like “yeah, nah... we’re not going to help you on this one”
The same sniper that killed the mother and feeding child at Ruby Ridge was the same one who fired shots at Waco. He claimed that he had not fired a round but it was later found out that he had shot at least 3 rounds because 3 spent .308 shells were lying on the floor near his rifle.
Lon Horiuchi. Also I'm healthy and not suicidal.
Amazing how detailed your videos are despite the length. I remember working in a regional trauma center in Ft. Smith, AR when this happened. Oddly enough, I was in Terre Haute, IN adjacent to the prison he was executed.
The greatest villains always has a reason for their insanity, and sometimes quite arguably even some logic behind it.
It's just that their plan has too much collateral damage and hurts innocent lives.
@Ryan Ryan And right wing fanatics
Anko 122 you make a very good point. Too often, we have simplistic views of people who are reviled as villains and people who are celebrated as heroes. We need to remember that people are remembered by history are just as complex as the rest of us.
@Spaalone Babagus that's probably true (although I've never seen anyone argue why the bombing of Dresden was necessary), but its horrifying that you say this of a neo-nazi terrorist whose main long term goal, as explained in the turner diaries, was the murder of most people on earth.
@@demilembias2527 Because he bombed the ATF, it was a fascist bombing a building from a fascist institution
Perfect description of the government.
Oh wait...
I think that the tragic and awful events of the Waco and Ruby Ridge and the slap on the wrist that the FBI and ATF agents got that led to this tragic and awful bombing is just an example of circular violence.
didn't help but don't bother playing devil's advocate for a homicidal psychopath or for a bunch of meth zombies who think their guns are more important than their children. it's a childish and stupid philosophy and only an idiot subscribes to it.
i also think when his grandfather died he died mentally, but that’s just me
being able to look into the camera as you’re slowly dying while people pay to watch it and then still glaring at it post death is on a different level
Like it or not, immediately after the bomb the high risk ATF raids stopped. It may have had some correlation.
It's almost like domestic terrorism, despite being horrific and something to be abhorred, is an immune response to an irresponsible and corrupt government.
@@jimothyhimony nope. You're right. It's not like that at all.
@@teddygrizz he is right, and your short minded if you actually think what you said is true.
@@Muhmawmehmaw dont forget the 1985 philadelphia bombing. The government was a big terrorist organization

"Hitler would gobble up for his Nazi breakfast" ... Now that is a very great visual explanation 👏
I admit that I have a personal connection to this story. First, I was working about 35 miles East of OKC on April 19th and the crew I was working with and myself heard the blast. I was also an officer with the Perry Police Department and personally know and have worked with now Sheriff Charlie Hanger. He is well respected, and a total professional. I have also been friends with his wife, Nancy for over 40 years. In the photo of McVeigh being led out of the Noble County courthouse, the man with the dark hair and mustache is Lt. Wayne Powell. He and I also worked together on the Perry P.D.
F the police. Government too.

Struck a chord with that one, Simon!
I was there, lost my aunt Terry, and later my uncle Bob. Heck, my other uncle Mike ran the Olympic torch to the bomb site in their honor in 1996. Needless to say, this subject touches me.
Just gotta say, you guys covered that well. Really appreciate the attention to detail.
Thank you.
Here's an interesting concept - theoretically - *if* MDA had existed back in 1995 - & then Tim wood have had the opportunity to eliminate hundreds of Redcoats - with no civilian losses - he wood have done that & left the Murrah building alone ! You thoughts ?
My aunts were both PD during the time of this, One being an officer on scene and my other was a forensic expert, she identified about 80% of the victims including the little girl in the very known photo of the firefighter holding the child, it changed both of them for life
I grew up about 15 miles down the road from McVeigh. It's too easy to see how he became isolated and radicalized. It's impossible to hear Pendleton or Starpoint (his high school) without thinking about all those people he killed and injured.
"But, this isn't a happier world."
- Simon Whistler
I was born in OKC and grew up like 15 minutes away. my parents were both paramedics at the time of the bombing and went to the city to relieve first responders that had been working for hours on end
My dad was in the marine corps with Mcveigh. Told me he had beers with him on leave before they both were honorably discharged.
I lived in perry for half of my life and now reside in Stillwater Oklahoma about 25 miles away.
The fbi interrogated my dad following the okc bombing though he had nothing to do with it. I assume most of his peers from the corps were also... crazy stuff!
McVeigh was army, not marines.
Why lie to be kinda connected to this guy??? Army and the Marines are two different things. So there’s actually no way that your dad was in the marine corps with Timothy because he was In the army..u see?
Marines and Army folk do hang out together at bars if they are near where they're based. So this guy may not be lying.
I love you guys, thank you for the channel. I was sick in bed the last 3 days and I've literally watched nothing else. Time well spent.
Great video, man! I love the way you explain things. You keep things interesting the entire time without ever leaving a dull moment. Keep it up, dude. Can't wait to come home from work later and watch more of your stuff.
Timothy grew up 10 min from my town. I was a senior in high school when he killed all those people. It rocked our community. Our high schools were rivals and many ppl knew and were friends and family with those in Pendleton.
I grew up just south of Pendleton. I remember watching it on TV when I was 13
"debate still rages about who started the fire"...........well, someone is very informed on the subject.
From what I remember the FBI claimed that the fundies started the fire, but later were forced to admit they had deployed incendiary grenades or something of the sort (after claiming they hadn't)
@@mwellnow5016 it was military tear gas that they originally claimed they didn’t use but actually did but examination of the gas cartridges shows that the cartridges didn’t start the fire.
We moved to Waco before my brother was born. We returned to OKC not long after and I was 4 when the Murrah Building was bombed. I don't remember any of the events as they happened (do you really expect someone that young to even understand what was happening?), but I remember McVeigh's death very well, as that's all my classmates talked about. It was years later that I learned of who I almost lost in the bombing. And to this day, my grandmothers cannot go near the memorial.
If you ever find yourself in OKC, at a minimum visit the memorial. The museum is very well done, and I highly recommend visiting it as well. For those who work in the area, it's easy to walk by, but I know there are many like me who always experience a mood change when passing.
April 19th was the 25th anniversary of the bombing.
I respect him for targeting the federal government but he should have went after the politicians. Not a building full of civilians and children.
I remember watching all of these events unfold as a kid. As disturbing now as it was then.
Can you do a biographic on Stanley Kubrick?
Ruby Ridge: He was cooerced to sell a totally legal shotgun to a BATFE agent. Who then asked him to "saw off" the barrel of the weapon in a spot of the BATFE agents chosing (the weapons charge: half an inch too short according to the NFA of 1934). The agent was never held accountable, even though it was one of the clearest cases of entrapment ever accounted by a government agent.
I applaud this chaps ability to be surprisingly impartial given relevant and legitimate cultural differences with Americans and our values. Our love for weaponry is unique.
Not really. It’s just unique for white people to love. Africa and Middle East put us to shame lol
@jeffv237 It's not a white person thing, as a Brit I can say we are not pro-gun
Idk about the rest but ANFO mixtures aren't "highly unstable" like you've suggested. they are actually really safe to handle and can be difficult to get to detonate.
He was based
When they reported his last meal, I remember thinking about what a waste it all was. In the end, they were dead, he was dead, and two empty pints of mint chocolate chip was all to show for it.
There's something very Twilight Zone about that observation ....
I appreciate your channel so much for being a Brit commenting on American history and politics without any air of pretentiousness or condescension. Such a breath of fresh air.
If you don’t hear his condescending nature in his videos, you’re deaf
How many kids did the atf kill...let's not forget those jags.
You mean the fire? Not the ATF. All they had to do was come out unarmed during the fire. If they had surrendered earlier it wouldn't have happened to begin with. You nutters always think the govt is evil and all at fault. While ignoring the actions of all parties involved. Fucking retards. McVeigh killed a bunch of kids too.
so you justify the killing of more kids to counter what the government did?
Jason Fedeli funny thing. If these parents didn’t participate in illegal activity those children would still be alive. Just saying.
@The Reverend Jim Jones Yeah I don;t believe that in the slightest. What is more likely to happen. A crazy gun lover setting fire so ATF wouldn'y take them alive and killing all of those kids or actual multiple cops deciding to become mass kids murderers? The answer should be more than obvious.
@@luizeduardo1375 I agreed with you for years. Then I saw the badge cam footage from the FBI at the Bundy ranch in Nevada when that thing was going on. After hearing multiple officers laughing about killing unarmed civilians and wishing they would climb a fence so they can mow down unarmed people I don't know anymore. We will never know what happened that day but I do know there are many law enforcement officers that would love to kill civilians given the chance.
Did not expect this episode to start with my birthday O.o
The sniper killed innocent people.
At least according to some of my family members who went to school with him including my dad who was in the same class as McVeigh was anything but a "loner and bullied kid" in fact he was the exact opposite and was the one doing the bullying and was one of those kind of kids who tried to "fit it" and be "popular" so he had friends.
Off topic. But that pic of Paul revere looks so much like jack black lol.

Knowing what we know now about what really happened at Waco and Ruby Ridge, he was right to be angry…..but the way he went about it was pure evil and made him an even bigger monster and murderer than those he was angry at.

9:31 That agent was really calm considering how close he was to getting smoked
I was serving in the Army when he hit that bldg. All the damned media could talk about was the fact that he was ex-military... I'll never forget the skittish way the civilians in Anchorage, who we normally got along with quite well, acted towards us for weeks afterwards. Like they thought any one of us might go similarly postal at any moment. What he did was unexcusable, but the way those "journalists" fed off it was just as bad. In hindsight, it seems a dress rehearsal for the way they act today.
uh yeah i think the fear is understandable though, the fact 3 men were able to do something that drastic really makes you realize how vulnerable you are around others

Hello Simon, wondering with admiration ....Do you read your intros out loud before filming and going over the edits... ???
I remember this well, was brushing my teeth in the bathroom of my home 2 hours drive time from OKC, my home shook it literally shook I thought it was an earthquake. Once I had the television on and figured out what caused my home to shake my only concern was contacting my aunt to be certain she was ok, as she lived much closer to the bombing location than I. She was/is ok. Still a horrifying day for Oklahoman's
Very nice, concise
id also be upset that the government killed those people in waco
And Ruby Ridge
after ruby ridge and waco dude seems like a hero
If he didn’t kill the kids sure
I grew up in Oklahoma. My mom told me that the day before the bombing happened, she and my dad had a fight because she hadn't gotten her last name legally changed yet after she got married. She went to her P.O box that morning to get her birth certificate, but forgot her key. That may be the only reason me or my sister were ever born at all.
Yikes are you sure that’s a good thing, seeing as how you were born and lived in Oklahoma…
@@shasmi93Damn 😅
Your narration is impressive!
The story of trooper hanger catching McVeigh all because of a simple traffic stop for no plates always fascinates me.
You should do an episode on James hodgkinson and Bill Ayers
Great video. Very well done.
“Well, yeah.”
Lol.
This man is no hero in fact you morally did John Wilkes Booth
Dr. William Luther Pierce was a great man
ANFO isn't unstable. It's safe for an explosive and it is used in some types of minig applications all over the world.
ANFO is super stable. You can throw it in to a fire, smack it with sledgehammer, won't blow up.
One thing you forgot. The sniper who killed Weaver’s wife was also at Waco. This set McVeigh off.
My fiancé was a few blocks away at daycare in OKC when the bomb went off (he was 5 at the time) He remembers a big muffled thud and then all the windows breaking before his mom quickly rushed over from work to take him home. I grew up in Tulsa (I was 4), and I vividly remember watching the local news when it happened.
An expedited execution always raised more questions as far as I’m concerned.
I am all for preppers and second amendment advocates because I am one. That being said I'm for being ready if catastrophe comes to you but don't be the catastrophe yourself. He had no reason to do what he did. He became everything we advocate against.
rodney hill I’m not a prepper and I’m for gun reform, so it’s interesting to see your opinion on this, thank you!
@@baronvonslambert then I better hope I draw first
I agree, everyone should be prepared for anything that could possibly happen. Even in anperhaps unlikely situation as the government becoming tyrannical and attempting to take firearms, this seems more possible everyday. However most people who do this are law abiding and proud people. The belief that those who people who have weapons for defense and domestic terrorist are in anyway connected is false and misguided.
I agree. It was so senseless
Guns are suppose to be used for defense. The people who follow 2nd Amendment rights must be honorable and will resort to guns as the last possible option.
People who use guns for an act of offense or threatening others isn’t honorable, for example, militia’s showing up to protests threatening to shoot, criminals robbing others or insane people who plans on using it for a mass shooting must never be allowed to hold them ever again, even if that means permanently.
His sister teaches at my brothers middle school
No way would I let her teach my child. She always supported her brother!!
Tell her I'm a person who knows the truth about how her brother is a hero ! I'd luv to communicate with her ! whatservicetojoin over in gmail !
@@whatservicetojoin8593 how is he a hero?
@@iangallagher4135 man, I've watched multiple videos on this topic and there is countless nuts out there that think he is. The biggest conspiracy among them was he knew about 9/11 and framed him and executed him just before it happened. Lots of crazy crap like that.
Crazy to think I was only three months old when this happened.
RIP to all those who died though,
especially those children 😢
Whenever they say a date I think of how old I was when something happened and it always make me feel so small. Every single person who died or was wounded, this young man at war, the whole gd thing.
Anything 'September' scares me now. Think I'm going to stay home the entire month. Lol
Can you do a bio on vince McMahon, love to see that one...he went from a trailer park in north carolina, to a multi millionaire owning the largest wrestling company on the planet
They lived in a trailer park? Didn't know that.
I think you're missing a pretty important part. You know, where he inherited the largest wrestling company on Earth? Sorry, he didn't inherit it because that would've meant considerable estate tax, he "bought" it at about 1% of it's value and paid that off with business profits. That's some clever tax evasion.
Mattwesley I just watched a thing about him that said he is a billionaire. It was about all the wrestlers deaths due to injury and painkiller od. And the fact that they’re not employees of the federation but free agents expected to pay their own health insurance med bills and med care, etc. said he didn’t feel any responsibility for them. Didn’t put him in a very positive light. I’m not making a judgmental comment but if he’s a hero of yours you might change your mind if you saw what I watched. His attitude made me feel bad for the permanently injured and dead celebrity wrestlers that helped make him his billions, not just that he consolidated all the different wrestling districts.
He’s a billionaire
@@tabbysmithfield3794 where can I watch this?
I lived in Oklahoma when this happened, I was Very young and it was terrifying
