They were so 1990s. Armed to the teeth, and with an arcane and racist, weird Jesus/John Wayne-tilted and occasionally speedfreak philosophy, they waited for their Date with Destiny when the black helicopters of the New World Order would bring foreign UN troops – Turks and Africans – to herd them into Bill Clinton’s FEMA death camps, except they would fight to the last man for liberty and justice thus become heroes – and maybe martyrs – of the New American Revolution. Of course the Day never came and in the wake of 9-11, they kinda melted away as too crazy even for the madness of Bush’s reign. But now, as sanity struggles to reassert itself, they appear to be back, maybe with dubious corporate astro-turf ties, and buying ammunition.
"AP WASHINGTON - Federal counter-terror agents are probing the threat posed by resurgent domestic militia groups focusing their anti-government rage at President Obama, US officials told the Daily News Wednesday. Word of the feds' new push to get a grip on fringe extremists - who faded into the background after the 9/11 attacks - came as a new watchdog report warned militias are making a racist "comeback" thanks to Obama's election. "The face of the federal government today is black, and that has injected a whole new element into the militia movement," said Mark Potok, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s intelligence project, which issued the report.
The center's report said a rash of domestic terrorism cases recently, plus skyrocketing firearms and ammunition sales and an explosion of heated rhetoric by disgruntled militia types, is cause for worry. Some hate groups also are opposing Obama's health care reform efforts as a form of Socialism, a top federal agent said. After Obama's election, many counter-terror officials snickered at the idea of a militia comeback from the 1990s. Some still insist the threat is overblown - and local. But when Obama was sworn in, the FBI's Intelligence Directorate and Domestic Terrorism Section - which probes homegrown malcontents - asked joint-terrorism task forces nationwide to sniff around for hints of possible violent activity.
They are not spying on protected speech, officials emphasized. "We don't know if there's an increased threat," a law enforcement source said. There's legitimate concern," said an agent inside the Justice Department who laughed off the threat months ago. "You're seeing more paranoia by the militias." Author Ronald Kessler reports in his new book, "In the President's Secret Service," that threats against Obama are up 400% over threats to George W. Bush."

So... so... should we.. should we start our own militia?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea if you figure firepower will do the trick.
ReplyDeleteScrew firepower... we need waterpower... & aids monkeys that we could catapult at our enemies.
ReplyDeleteYa know, we could probably do with a catapult also.
victory will be ours
ReplyDeleteHow about we fake a giant Lynard Skynard concert/ gun show. Then dose them all with extasy and post the pictures as the deeply repressed homosexual tendancies come to the surface?
ReplyDeleteThat, and also its the fallout from all the phony idealistic capitalist philosophy that everybody whipped up to keep the cold war going. And racism. And hatred of women.
