The militias are on the march again: 'Million Man Militia' event planned in July
Calling Glenn Beck! Here's another "frustrated Americans" event for you to champion!
David Weigel at the Windy happened to catch the latest idea from the militiamen who are starting to see their paranoid ranks rising:
A peaceful demonstration of at least a million — hey, if we can 10 million, even better — but at least one million armed militia men marching on Washington. A peaceful demonstration. No shooting, no one gets hurt. Just a demonstration. The only difference from any typical demonstration is we will all be armed.
As Weigel says, lotsa luck getting a permit for that.
It's all very reminiscent of Linda Thompson:
[I]n 1994, Thompson declared herself "Acting Adjutant General" of the "Unorganized Militia of the United States" and announced plans for an armed march on Washington, D.C. which was to be held on September 19 of that year, in which an ultimatum demanding the repeal of such laws as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Brady Bill would be delivered to members of the United States Congress, and those members refusing to comply with the ultimatum would be arrested and tried for treason. The proposed march was almost universally denounced by groups on the right wing, from the John Birch Society to the militia organizations. Thompson canceled the march, claiming publicly that the announcement was never anything more than a publicity stunt and the march was never intended to actually happen, while claiming to her supporters that operatives in the Federal government had plans to detonate a small nuclear device in D.C. and blame her organization for the act. Publicity stunt or not it effectively spelled the end of her time in the limelight.
It may have ended her time in the limelight, but Thompson's legacy is still with us; a video she shot in the 1990s has been one of the primary sources of the "FEMA concentration camps" conspiracy myth.
Still, there's no doubt militias are bubbling back up to the surface these days.
In Stockton, California, the militia being organized in the event of a police shortage this summer is sounding increasingly scary:
I was most interested to hear from Alan Pettet himself. Pettet, 66, is the organizer of this group, which he said numbers 270. Pettet said he has a rainbow coalition (my words, not his) of rifle-wielding men and 11 women ready to be sworn in by an unidentified federal judge on the steps of Stockton City Hall on July 1.
That's scary enough, although you have to question why any judge would participate in this ceremony.
Now here is a turn that sounds even more ridiculous. But don't take my word for it, here it is in Pettet's own words:
"Five minutes after we're sworn in, we oust the mayor and City Council and then we can declare martial law."
Over in Michigan, militiamen are preparing for the depredations of the evil Obama administration too:
"Am I angry?" asked the unemployed commander, with a semi-automatic rifle strapped across his pectorals. "Yeah, it sets you off a little bit."
Come to a Michigan Militia picnic and you realize the commander is not alone. The farm where they rallied was chockfull of people like him, people boiling on the back burner, struggling to make ends meet, carrying around a knapsack of resentment for a government that they claim has taken almost everything from them and given nothing in return.
"Liberty," says the commander, 33, whose Christian name is Matthew Savino, of Adrian. "You cannot take my liberty. Eventually a man draws a line in the sand."
Why, he sounds just like Glenn Beck!
Indeed, doesn't all this seem right up Beck's alley? That's how you make those dire prophecies conveniently self-fulfilling.
or it's pseudonym..."Wingnuts on Parade".
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
Lunatics on Parade.
What's the matter with these people? When everything is going to shit they're happy? And when the govt actually tries to fix things they're angry?
They need to lower the dosage on their anti-depressants.
Maybe put them ON anti-depressants.
Underlying all this rage, all this militia/gun/immigrant-hating/tea-bagging bullshit, is pure fear and despair. Demographically, these dittoheads are on average well into middle age. Many of these militia assholes are pissed because their best days are done. They won't get rich, they won't be able to afford a better car or a cruise to Alaska, they won't have a comfortable retirement, their dicks will only get softer, their wives will only get fatter.
They're just projecting their disillusionment on Obama.
Rush Limbaugh's average listener is over 60 years old (who else listens to AM radio?). Same with Bill O'Reilly.
Let them have their f*cking Militia March. It'll be Disneyland for Rednecks. Big Whoop.
What's the big deal about a million men who all think the government is corrupt and the President isn't legitimate marching on Washington with guns on their shoulders?
I just don't see the problem here. . . what's wrong with you people?

If you look at these hate filled scumbag's "Promise Keeper" hate rallies, you'll see that they can do a lot of damage before they die out.
what a bunch of throwbacks...mad at the world because it's not 1950.
Well, if they manage to stay organized enough to make it to DC...which I highly doubt, after seeing the teabagger debacle...if they march into DC armed, without permits, there will likely be quite a large force of even more heavily armed men who will kindly suggest they cease and desist, and go back to their trailers...I mean homes...
> teabagger debacle
Oh man, got to admit that that was FUNNY, though! LOL! Insane lunatics parading around with cheap firearms, utterly incapable of spelling the word "you're," claiming they're going to Washington to "t-bag" people's faces. Amusing! Lunatic, fascist, treasonous, yeah, but funny!
this could get ugly in a hurry kinda way...

Only no Brazill nuts. They're black. Blacks aren't allowed.
Round up all the nuts at once :)
Let them assemble and if they break any laws, arrest them. If they are armed and resist do what is necessary.
At least it will save the trouble of rounding them up.
Heh.

No way in hell you are going to get a million goobers with firearms traveling all the way to Washington with not one of them firing a weapon. Some ammo storing slack jawed liburul-hater is going to take a potshot. Sure as the sun rises.

A lot of these rightards fail the psych testing required by many legitimate law enforcement agencies. Police departments are capable of weeding out the extremist right wing lunatics like these unsalted nuts, and increasingly the armed services exclude early such lunatics.
Oh yeah, I know Linda Thompson. Good grief. She showed up in a number of FidoNet echo forums and was spewing such frothing insanity, threats, and right wing ******** crazyness that eventually even the HolySmoke forum ejected her -- which is surprising since HolySmoke was specifically built for rightarded Christanic extremists to be educated by their intellectual and moral superiors.
Linda Thompson was covered in the National Enquirer, as I recall, and given the title "America's Hate Queen."
Talk about right wing extremist lunatics!

When the National Enquirer did the story on Thomopson, neither of those people were in the public eye yet. As I recall, Thompson had only ust be indicted for trying to smuggle firearms in to a court room for like the third time, so she rose to fame if only for that insane stunt.
David please tell me this is a joke. Now I know what the guy meant at the Alamo when he yelled, next time we will be armed.
Jesus, I just can't help but believe this is a crazy, gun toting, racist mob. I know the racist part maybe not the nice thing to say, but these people aren't much if any worse off than they were three months ago and they weren't raising hell about george bush. Not a peep out of them.

Davy Crockett did not. But it was Disney's depiction of Davy Crockett (killed him a Bar when he was only three) as played by Fess Parker which popularized the coonskin cap in the middle of the 20th Century. Parker wore such a cap as Davy Crockett. He later died of a scalp borne tick infection. He was frozen and ABC, owned by Disney, will televise his defrosting to celebrate the bicentennial of the Alamo in 2036. Glenn Beck will MC.

That was Jim Bowie. Bowie, Travis and Crockett were all heroes of the Alamo. They all have high schools named after them here in Austin, Texas. Travis and Crockett, however, have Mexican American student bodies, which should tell you a little about what happens when Texas "secedes."

LOL! Compare Rush Limbaugh with Jon Stewart, George W. Bush with Stephen Colbert, Ronald Reagan with Keith Olberman. Compare any right wing lunatic with normal people and there is a marked difference in intelligence and wit.

... it would be great fun to see the nervous looks on everyone's face in DC with one million armed men not under the control of the government milling around everywhere.
As was said, good luck on getting a permit for this one. But, if they're really serious, they'll just say "we don't need no steenking permit" and come anyways and show how muscles really get flexed in the land of the free and home of the brave.
... the only thing marching in force, armed, through the streets of Washington, D.C. is going to get you is arrested.
And, really ... after eight years of pissing their pants about how the evil scary Muslim dudes are going to hop on a boat and COME HERE, they're going to do the terrorists' work for them and overthrow the United States Government.
... the only thing marching in force, armed, through the streets of Washington, D.C. is going to get you is arrested.
Not if there's a million of you doing it. Good luck on arresting one million people.
Oops: make that "one million armed people."
Neither the government nor the police can afford to let one million armed, angry nutjobs who routinely talk about secession and overthrowing the government they don't like, roam free in the streets.
They will be ordered to disband.
If they refuse, they will be dispersed via tear gas and other crowd control methods.
If they continue to resist, they will begin arresting people who refuse to comply with a lawful order.
The only step left is for some nutjob to draw down on a cop, as I don't believe these people understand the whole civil disobedience thing. That'll result in a dead protester and a free-for-all gunfight.
Government wins.
> Good luck on arresting one million people.
Except that these aren't normal people we're talking about, these are right wing extremist lunatics, paranoid and delusional, most of whom are like Limbaugh, Bush, Rumsfeld et al: Pants shitting cowards.
They scream race hate and bigotry, smack their women, but in the end they're just Republicans.
Obama can not let it get out of hand if they do actually make it to DC
but seriously...see my previous post upthread (headline GAH promise keepers) I doubt that after the teabagger protest, this won't get NEARLY 1 million people.
... getting to D.C. in the first place. Can't take a gun on a plane. Pretty sure that if you take it on a Greyhound Bus and someone finds out, you can get busted for that.
Gonna have to walk or drive.
how long will it take for them to figure out that the stage coach isn't coming?
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
And then how long will it take for them to blame a liberal for that?
yes you can transport a firearm and ammunition on a plane. It has to be in a locked case, in your checked baggage and you have to declare it on check in. I'm not sure what the restrictions are on travel by bus though.
Just wait for a few of them to get "liquored" up and see what happens.

Oh yeah, Linda Thompson was also the group that came up with the amusing freakish paranoid conspiracy video "Waco: The Big Lie." Her group altered and doctored video of the fascist state's assault on the Branch Davidians to try to make it look like flame throwers mounted on tanks were used to slaughter the Davidian kids.
Soldier Of Fortune Magazine had acquired the satelite downlink feed of the actual fascist assault and they provided copies of it contrasted to the Thomson doctored versions, exposing the scam.
When Janet Reno and the other Christanic fascists were assaulting the Branch Davidians, Thomson announced in a number of FidoNet echo forums that her and her little gay parade was going down there to "assist" the Davidians -- which was a stunt cheered on by FidoNet since it was hoped that she would "an hero" herself and take as many of her followers with her as she could.
Allegedly she and her band actually did show up -- and were utterly ignored. No attempts by her group to try to infiltrate themselves in to the Davidian compound were ever reported despite highly publicized lunatic rants in FidoNet.
I have placed endless megabytes of the old HolySmoke echo discussions on the Internet. Maybe her appearance was captured in those archives.
My opinions only and only my opinions.
"Her group altered and doctored video of the fascist state's assault on the Branch Davidians"
"When Janet Reno and the other Christanic fascists were assaulting the Branch Davidians, "
What in the hell are you talking about? You sound just like the people who made the "paranoid conspiracy video", only slightly less paranoid.
I don't think Reno was a "Christian Fascist"
Fuck the Branch Dividians. They started it as far as I can tell.
> I don't think Reno was a "Christian Fascist"
That's because you didn't do your homework. Janet Reno was one of these insane Christanic extremists who believed in the so-called "world wide Satanic conspiracy" wherein upwards of some 30,000 babies were ritually raped, slaughtered, and eaten in the United States annually. She is covered in "Satan's Stepchild" and other books that covered the McMartin Preschool fiasco of which Reno was a big fan.
Reno was also a frothingly insane Christian terrorist down in Florida and in other parts of Northern California before and after the McMartin Preschool fiasco, continually advocating her insane Christanic delusions about "Satanists" running around raping and eating children.
Reno also claimed that mobile crematoriums were moving around the United States, driving by the Satanist conspiracy, driving from mortuary to mortuary as part of the rape and slaughter of babies.
Utter lunacy by that's Christianity.
Now I'm calling bullshit! I know Janet Reno and her sister. You are out of your mind! Where the fuck did you come up with this utterly bullshit stuff?
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

they wouldn't be struggling to make ends meet. What you expect when a guy will spend 10 Grand on guns and ammo while his families starving back at the house and they can't pay the bills.
Ridiculous. I hadn't thought of all the money it takes to buy those guns and ammo.
"I'm sick of people complaining and whining and not doing anything".
Good luck getting your guns to Washington, as they pointed out planes and buses don't let you carry guns (what about trains?) Gonna spend gas money to drive there? Oh, I guess they could buy guns while in Washington DC, and boost its economy.
If they buy them in DC, how are they gonna get them back home? I guess they could rent-a-gun.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
But the thing they haven't thought of is logistics...how to get an army of anti-American, cry-baby, racist assholes to DC on the cheap.
That is goin to be the Achilles heel in their plan.
Just like poor planning hobbled their teabaggin lovefest.
This will further show the world how out of touch these people really are.
Their only reasonable logistics:
Faux News rents them scores of buses, arranges the pick up points, reports the whole thing on air...
And each and every bus is stopped at the first state or city line at which carrying is illegal. A small percentage of the stops will result in gunfire, but the 'freedom fighters' don't stand a chance, because most buses have only one or two men in them.
Glenn Beck reports the 'fascist crackdown' and shows videos from locked down cameras in each bus.
If this thing is for real and not some prank...fox will probably bankroll the transportation.
can transport firearms and ammunition on a plane. You can't have it in your carry on.

If I'm not mistaken that would be Gilchrist, the guy who ran in California under a neo-Nazi party using neo-Nazi campaigners and funds who then demanded that he was not a racist. Gilchrist is well covered in the Southern Poverty Law Center's web site.
He got in to endless trouble with various other hate cults with allegations of money being swindled and stolen and no end of things, all tied up with domestic assaults and other Republican wingnut behavior.
McCain is in a lot of trouble here in Arizona with the theocratic xenophobic fascists. I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't 2 or 3 challengers within the Republican Party in 2010.

It's the other way around, David. How many times I gotta tell you. Glenn Beck is a faker. These guys are for real, they were organizing since early Clinton or before, I dunno. Bush pushed them over the edge, tho, I know that.
If Obama continues to allow the patriot act and increases funding to the civilian army(government sponsored christian militia), we are going to have big problems. These aren't going to be the dumbest of the dumb, these will be trained armed men, not Fox news Tv morons.

It took Americans long enough to get sick and tired of government BS. It doesn't matter if they are marching for the wrong reasons. It matters that they are marching. Economic turmoil tends to do that to people. Many probably think they have nothing left to lose anyway. They've watched their jobs get taken, their houses repo'd, big banks get trillions. Who could blame them? It's too bad it's Obama that will have to deal with it though. I'm sure his Department of Homeland Gestapo leader will embellish and lie some more and proudly blame Canada.
..I'd rather not have these people in the streets with weapons. While I'll never, ever understand why anyone would need an Assault Rifle for any reason other than you're in the military or are a "LEO", any kind of weapon in the wrong hands, in a PUBLIC place is a little..I don't know..stupid.

A long time ago. The election of 2004 = 1856, and 2008 = 1860, but in deadly farce.
That Lincoln won in 1860 and Obama in 2008, yet both are faced with reactionary douchebags is an irony of historic proportions. The difference is: the South seceded as they saw they were on the losing end of history (manorial feudalist slave states were soooo medieval) and saw a lot of money at the end of the tunnel if they could pull it off. They didn't.
The lumpen douchebags Obama is faced with are actually more problematic.
If the North had said "OK - be a bunch of assholes - see what we care - go have your confederacy, morons." And DID NOT retaliate but acted to contain the South, my guess is a war would still have broken out, but much later and over different reasons (access to resources).
But, in point of fact, the South didn't want to "rule the North". They just wanted their backwards little confederacy of dunces.
Now, these militia types are a good bit different. They are aggressive, and if organised could easily mount a coup behind an evenly marginally popular leader (think hitler and the SA), and it wouldn't even have to be a national figure - it could be local. and rather than secede, they could easily just tell the Union to take a hike. As we do the slip and slide down the butt-end of the oil depletion curve, this kind of a scenario increases in likelihood, as the energy won't be there to just send some jets and paratroops over to squash the insurgency.
It could fester for months, solidifying its power among the countryside, making it kind of like a Taliban.
These are weird and not very good times...

..kind of like the Taliban?
"It could fester for months, solidifying its power among the countryside, making it kind of like a Taliban." Good line!
When you think about it, the Taliban does not care one whit about rights, civil rights or freedoms, liberty and justice. Their brand of justice is essentially "My way or the Highway!" Now that's all fine for them but that's really not what being a patriot in this country is all about. Is it?

They aren't going for the president and congress.....the money masters, I would imagine lobbyists more than Obama, a gay guy, a Mexican, or even a Democrat. I don't think they will just march out into DC either.:/
This stupid march cannot be allowed to happen the way their intentions are portrayed. If it is not seen for the attempted assassination of our president the way that I thought it was immediately, I am much more worried about our media than I was ten minutes ago.
Think of what this would bring:
1. The random stupidity of the off-topic "protest" a week ago
2. The blatant and descriptive threats to Obama, blacks, and Democrats in general by a large number gun-clingers
3. The surge in sale of firearms since Obama won the election
4. Their intent to siege DC in high numbers with guns
I hope the Secret Service nips this in the bud NOW. I don't care if they sent Obama to Timbuktu on the day of this "march," it's to strike fear into our leaders and the nation, and it can't be allowed to happen.
It's a sad time when you feel your president is safer in another country than he is in this one, isn't it?
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Straight jackets and thorazine for them all
....and who among them could actually count to one million......they would probably get 100 and think they made it......:)
10 guys in a crowd all named Bubba does not make a million
Heh........:)
On their part which I have yet to discern.

at 12:32, and another I cannot now find, in which i suggested that the most aggressive actors--the gun-loons, the militia guys (like McVeigh and his pals, etc) are gonna turn any activity they're invoilved in into a de facto negro/mexican/librul hunt...
so yes i think it does matter who's out there threatening to bring the govt down...
think the SA and the SS...just for the sake of an available analogy
oops i meant this as a reply to conCan's remarks as to who demonstrates and why...
Let them all come out of their bunkers, basements, and bomb shelters, out into the light of day and lets see all their faces on national t.v.
Once they all realize their march will be in public view, I doubt there will be much enthusiasm.
Cheney's Army prefers the shadows...
..will be immediately arrested.

1 million (10 million would be better) militia men enter and only one militia man leaves, sounds much better to me.
