the Sovereign Citizen Groups. Had personal interaction with these POS's hassling us on our Clubs Gold Claim. These Ass-Holes are armed to the teeth and have not tried to steal our Concentrate as of yet. Usually keep watch as to were the dust cloud is coming from and it is the usual pair of Idiots,got them in the photo gallery. And always have the phone close by just in case,and yes there is a Cell Tower on the mountain above us.

The Guardian's coverage of these arrests says that an informant recorded a meeting in Ohio that involved people from different states who were determined to take over the governments of various states in order to make them live up to the Bill of Rights (as these groups define them, I guess.)

So, more to come, I'm sure.

That's the correct term for the conduct by which Trump is complicit, and we need to use it.
Coincidentally, it's also the correct term for what he did with "Stand back, stand by...".

He absolutely detests women who are more intelligent than he (practically all of them) and are in power. What a spoiled, misogynistic, racist, sexist, little boy. Oh, and a grand champion criminal as well.

Is it any wonder he's trotting out the "arrest Biden, Clinton and Obama" misdirection play right now?

This is straight-up Soviet-level bait and switch propaganda. We have a huge part of our populace that been brainwashed for decades and now we see the fruits of this labor.

Not sure if there are several Michigan militia so not sure if it was the same Michigan militia. But the point is that Michigan has long been a hot spot of militia activity.

across the country. There are separate groups within some states, but often inclined to work together toward common goals.

They have been around for decades, but have grown in numbers and influence in more recent years. There's a good book on the topic called "Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement" by Kathleen Belew. Although the news I've read on the kidnap plot in Michigan does not mention White Supremacy, all of these militias are far right and often share views on race that overlap. The book covers mostly the 1960's and the relationship between these militias and ex servicemen, like Timothy McVeigh.

George Washington put down the Whiskey Rebellion, John Adams snuffed Fries Rebellion.

With Donald Trump it seems things are moving in the opposite direction.
