"American Militia"

[jtrhyms]

Watchin CNN when I saw a little bit on them, anyone know anymore info on these nutters?

They aren't as nutty as the MSM makes them out to be, at first the origional story was that they were going to kill Muslims and no one cared so it became police officers. The feds also have limited evidense because much of the "planning" was am FBI agent saying "we need to do this if so and so does that" which is technically entrappment. Course I don't believe much of what the MSM says anyway & would like to know why I have 3 known terrorist training camps in WV but nothing gets done. eh...

Most american 'militias' are a bunch of skinhead racist rednecks who have poor self-esteem and can't figure out how to live with anyone outside of their own race. They are considered hate groups, usually are affiliated with neo-nazi movements and have a high 'prison' experience record. Confronted one on one they back down but like to show up in groups and stomp people....

Tim McVeigh reacted to federal governments slaughter of women and children at Waco. Remember years later it was proven that the Feds and not the Branch Devidians set the structure on fire. Also McViegh wasn't a militia member, he attended a few open meets of the Ohio Militia and they even went so far as to bar him from anymore and turned him into the feds for wanting to blow a federal building in retaliation for Waco.



Actually they aren't the Militia-movement isn't racist at all one of the spokesmen for the militia movement is a black guy, guess the neo-nazi's better revoke his membership. Unless of course your going by the Southern-Poverty-Law Center's BS but it should be pointed out that the SPLC has been known to make anti-sementic remarks and has a specifically socialist agenda. The federal government has not actively placed the militia as a hate group except during anti-gun presidencies; Clinton & Obama. Bush whom the militia movement didn't like either didn't consider them a hate group, but Bush was pro-gun... hummm notice a trend.

In fact even wiki says "Political pressure groups, such as the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center have portrayed militias as racist, despite there being only tenuous, if any, connections to White supremacists."

Now myself being a veteran and having sworn an oath to up hold the Constitution and the ideas of the Constitution & being very pro-gun myself (own several), I agree with some of their ideologies if not their methodologies. A militia can be racist but the Militia Movement which makes up the bulk of American Militias aren't racist or permit racist members. If you feel they are connected to Neo-Nazi's because they both engage in paramilitary training, then everyone on this forum is a Neo-Nazi as well because Neo-Nazi's and Militias both practice some form of MA as part of their training...

Looking into it this couldn't be more wrong they are a very diverse group apparently, and "American Militia" is their name.

Ranzan, more info into your perspective as to why you think they are nutters please.

From what I saw on CNN ( they posted up 2 interviews with leaders) they believe that since America is "Free" they should not have use things such as, social security numbers, birth certificates, passports, drivers licenses, pretty much any kind of paper work. They believe the Government is controlled by what they call "A new world order" and law enforcement officers are the puppets of said world order. They are pretty much promoting Anarchy, no one can tell them what to do kind of thing. They have militant training camps which they post videos of online ( Will get link once I find it) All for the greater good of America which is bogus, bringing down the government isn't going to help the country much lol. It was said members where arrested for plotting a murder of law enforcement agent( that comes straight from CNN I have yet to find evidence of that ). To me this seems like terrorism right on our doorstep and is a movement that could be troublesome if it is allowed to grow and could lead to another incident like the Oklahoma City bombing.

Links, man!


Search as i may, i haven't found any legislation that would change the status quo re: gun control during the Obama administration.
Still there were news of people stockpiling weapons and ammo "just in case"

If I was american i would probably be worried about the state of domestic politics, but looking in from the outside it's just morbidly amusing.
