Considering that there are a whole lot of Muslim group who have vowed to bring Sharia to America, and our so-called President is a Muslim, yeah, I’d say it’s questionable. I’m starting to wonder what country will be my new home.

Article states "......the burden of proof will soon be on the administration to [conslusively] prove the charges....."

They don't need no steenkin proof! Besides, they have fabricated all that they need, already...these fellas (soon-to-be-indicted) need to be asking for a change of venue, preferably down south somewhere..maybe somewhere near Waco.

Off subject, but did you see that picture at the link? It looks like “school marm trooper”. That’s an affirmative action trooper if I’ve ever seen one.

The real truth is that Napolitano searched for months to find one group of screwballs to get her media wet kissers to obsess on to cover up their failures to stop jihadists, illegal aliens, and drug cartels.

I suspect it’s to keep the narrative going that the right wing is violent.

“Third, the timing of the raid is suspect. The raid was the culmination of an entire week of smears against Tea Party activists, conservatives, and even Sarah Palin, outright accusing them of ‘inciting violence.’

It did not help with this smear campaign for Republican Eric Cantor to be threatened with assassination, resulting in the arrest of an Obama-supporter and donor who had made the threat.”

Makes me want to reach for the tin foil.

First the Rats drum up accusation of threats against them, attack Sarah for using a gun metaphor, THEN the Fed's grab a bunch of right wing extremists. Hmmm.

I wonder if they know about this wacko group early on and orchestrated the arrests immediately after trying (unsuccessfully) to provoke Tea Partiers to violence?

“warrant some thorough investigative journalism”?
First you’d have to produce a journalist worth a damn and that in itself would be tough.

Yeah, the trial will be long and drawn out with the home town jury breaking for prayer five times a day.

So the story is supposedly that these guys were going to kill a cop, then boobytrap and launch an ambush on the funeral. THEN... carefully stage a showdown with federal agents on their own turf— also pre-boobytrapped and set up so to kill the maximum number of officers as they make a defiant last stand.

Ya know... for obviously putting a lot of time into training and planning... that’s a pretty stupid plan.

not to mention that out of all these “heavily armed, extremely violent, cop hating, right wing terrorist, militia members” who supposedly wanted to kill a bunch of cops, not a single one managed to kill, injure, or even attempt to injure one?

I’d read originally that someone in another militia group turned this group in as being nuts. It also seemed that there was an informant within the group but it seems to be comprised of close family members.

The Islam attacks were in the original reports. Then it was police and they’d attack more police when the funeral took place.

If the group was practicing military maneuvers in land they owned with guns they legally possessed, that’s completely legal.

If, however, they attack someone or build illegal bombs they should be arrested.

But typically if that were the case the FBI waits for the last possible moment. For example, if it were an armored car robbery the FBI would tail the robbers and catch them in the act.

Instead, several days before the supposed attack here everyone is arrested for something they were planning on doing possibly in the future. With large jail time threatened the goal will be to flip one or two of the accused into fingering the others and say what the government want to make that happen.

We’ll have to wait and see what evidence comes out. There are nuts on all sides of politics — Black Panthers, Weather Underground, Neo-Nazis, etc.

Timing of this incident coming off the Congressional threats getting attention and Tea Party slurs seems to be purely political and meant as an attempt to discredit the majority of Americans who oppose ObamaCare.

Sipsey Street Irregulars has a great analysis of this.

Mike’s opinion is the feds were watching this group for some time, and used a provocateur to suggest their anti-LEO plan.

The goal: To get LEO’s to associate militias with cop killers and hurt recruiting of LEO’s by the Oathkeepers.
