The apparent collapse of MCDC is something of a surprise because it seemed that some sort of increase in militance had just occurred within MCDC leadership. There was something of a battle call from MCDC for everone to come to the border "locked and loaded". A lot of folks were ready to come. Then Carmen Mercer thought about how bad things could happen to her and others. Perhaps we should thank her for finally getting to that issue. It may have prevented mayhem on the border.
Of course the whole collapse suggests something of a government crackdown and or these folks going more underground if they don't give up.
Perhaps it is time to remember those who have supported this sort of right-wing militia
locally as well as nationally.
The Hutaree militia and arrests is pretty chilling because they were supposedly going to target law enforcement in the name of fighting the Anti-Christ. Who is the Anti-Christ? Xavier Solano of the EEU.
This is an old one, Garner Ted Armstrong and his beloved father used to talk about the seven headed EEU for years. The EEU has become quite powerful and yet is Javier Solano really the Anti-Christ? I am skeptical.
What about you, Minuteman Ed?, Is Javier the
Anti-Christ?
I haven't heard from Minuteman Ed, but I suspect he would not like the Hutaree and their conspiracy to murder cops since he is a former officer of the law. I hope Minuteman ED doesn't like the idea of targeting brothers in blue.
I think that these differences are the result of right wing nuts falling from different right wing nut trees. How is that for a scientific explanation?
So one right wing nut group is targetting law enforcement while other right wing nut groups claim to be composed of law enforcement or military people. Variation, go figure. Of course it is really the different right wing ideas that are in these different militia members heads that explain their diverse forms of bad behavior. Right wing militias vary in their ideas and ideologies, it is a garden of diverse poisonous weeds.
I do have the impression that the Feds are cracking down on these nascent terrorist cells. They are also warning some of these militias not to do illegal stuff. I saw that some Montana militia leader is being prosecuted for sending out false liens from his own court. There is a new law against that.
Scott Roeder was with the Montana Militia, I believe, so we may hear more from them. Of course he is now serving a life sentence for murdering Dr. George Tiller during a church service. I believe that is associated with a so-called "Army of God" which may be nothing more than a small group, mostly incarcerated now for killing various people.
Whatever we want to believe there has been a low intensity right wing war against the rest of us for some decades. Maybe we should wake up and deal with it. First we have to see that a right wing terrorist war exists and then defeat it.
The Obama administration may have finally started to do something to try and reign in white supremacists and right wingers who are killing people.

I love that they asked for “Public Defenders” (and they thought they could bring down our government), undercover FBI agent, sweet. Since their inception the Teaparty crowd (not a movement since they do have the numbers or clout) because they are haters not debaters or as others have dubbed them screamers not dreamers. The simpleton Tea baggers are the same whiners that were crying when the McCain/Bailin ticket lost. Now that their yelling and screaming failed to stop the health care debate and the bill from passing they are crying again. Lets face it the Republicans had eight years to deal with health care, immigration, climate change and financial oversight and governance and they failed. The Republicans are good at starting wars (two in eight years, with fat contracts to friends of Cheney/Bush) but not at winning wars as seen by the continuing line of body bags that keep coming home. Instead of participating in the health care debate of ideas the Republicans party turned inward to your old fashion obstructionist party. In my opinion the Republican Waterloo loss was caused by the party allowing a small portions (but very loud) of the republican party of “birthers, baggers and blowhards” to take over their party. I will admit that this fringe is very good at playing “Follow the Leader” by listening to their dullard leaders, Beck, Hedgecock, Hannity, O’Reilly, Rush, Savage, Sarah Bailin, Orly Taitz, Victoria Jackson, Michele Bachmann and the rest of the Blowhards and acting as ill programmed robots. The Teaparty crowd think they can scare, intimidate and force others to go along with them by comments like “This time we came unarmed”, let me tell you something not all ex-military join the fringe militia crazies who don’t pay taxes and run around with face paint in the parks playing commando, the majority are mature and understand that the world is more complicated and grey than the black and white that these simpleton make it out to be and that my friend is the point. The world is complicated and presidents like Hamiliton, Lincoln, and Roosevelt believe that we should use government a little to increase social mobility, now its about dancing around the claim of government is the problem. The sainted Reagan passed the biggest tax increase in American history and as a result federal employment increased, but facts are lost when mired in mysticism and superstition. Although some Republicans are trying to distant themselves from this fringe most of them, having no game plan/ vision for our country, are just going along and fanning the flames. For a party that gave us Abraham Lincoln, it is tragic that the ranks are filled with too many empty suits. But they now claim they have changed, come on, what sucker is going to believe that? All I can say to you is remember Waterloo.
