True threat. I am aware of a particular faction blossoming in my area. County LE, member(s) of the state judiciary, senator(s), congressmen, radio hosts, the Dean of at least one educational institution, evangelical Christian organizations, some school board members, county clerk, and of course - an in-training militia - all seemingly coordinating as one. I wish I knew more specifics at this point, but I don't. And even if I did - who as an agency is trustworthy enough to report this to?

Remember the post-9/11 "see something, say something" hysteria? Well this time it's actually necessary. And this time we don't know who we can safely say something to.

AstroTurf militias are spawned and inspired with the incessant propaganda that always includes a generous dose of racism to get their attention (frighten and enrage them) and keep them hooked (satisfy that rage and their tribal urges). Militia “men” are manipulated (or otherwise coerced) into being the pawns that make sure the oligarchs can keep their plantations or whatever grift that they’re running. Has there ever been a white militia in America that wasn’t racist, and didn’t share the fear and hatred that the grifters conned them with? This is the same shit that caused the 2nd Amendment to be in the Constitution, and the same way the militias (sounds way better than slave patrols) were formed to enforce slavery. So, pretty much the same flimflam with 21st Century improvements for the grifter oligarchs to contract propagandists to convince our poorly educated to make shitty decisions that promote the welfare of the morbidly rich and eat away at our democracy. If only they knew that their real enemy is running a game on them, and we all have to pay for it.
