However, one reference in this report to Weaver's calling for a meeting to oppose the "Zionist Occupation Government" does provide an argument for calling him a racist of the anti-Semitic variety. On the other hand, the only person claiming this is the FBI's informant; the truth of his statements has been called into doubt.
I'm sure it has been. That doesn't mean his report is untrue. Is the standard of proof the same for both of these issues? We need proof to establish that Weaver is a racist, but not to establish that the FBI informant is lying?
So far as I can tell, it's uncertain.
Separatist/supremacist... I don't see much difference between them, and I believe the former is largely just a cover story for the latter. Weaver is no hero, IMHO, though I believe the govt. fucked up big at Ruby Ridge.
