No link yet, only from live broadcast:

In a press release just handed to Fox by the FBI, the six Michigan residents, two from Ohio, one from Indiana are charged with “seditious conspiracy.”

Reportedly, Hutaree is accused of attempted use of weapons of mass destruction. Charges range from August 2008 to today.

The militia group Hutaree are said to have conspired to oppose by force the authority of the US Government.

The members viewed local, state and federal law enforcement as "the brotherhood," also known as their enemy, and have been preparing, the FBI says, to engage them in armed conflict.

According to one plan released by the FBI, the group was to kill a law enforcement officer, then during the funeral precession, hit again with IEDs to kill more LEOs.

Well, I don’t believe in the “violence in the name of Christ” movement either.

A rational person will await the facts. All others will speculate.

And we do have an irrational electorate.

Almost our entire political class is guilty of “seditious conspiracy.” They’ve been undermining the foundation, the Constitution they swore to uphold, for many decades.

They would have already destroyed it but it’s a pretty tough old rock. It’s still held in place, for the moment, by the habit of liberty of the American people.

seditious conspiracy

LOL

I have an ancestor that was charged with sedition against the gov't.

He was hunted from pillar to post by the gov'ts Pinkerton detectives. He led them a merry cat & mouse game for years, always one step ahead of them.

He was finally smuggled out of the country - and lived in safety the rest of life.

His crime? He had a clandestine publishing business, with a printing press - and published books and tracts against the gov't. The book that got him in the most trouble was The Perth Assembly.

He was Elder William Brewster, "of the Mayflower" - my 7th great great grandfather. After living in Holland for 12 years - where he published - he had to sneak back into England preparatory to being smuggled aboard the Mayflower for the voyage to New England.

History repeats itself - only the names, places and dates change.

In the meantime, today, a Christian militia group gets raided while an Islamic militia group in the same area is untouched.

How convenient that BH0 is out of the country, “bolstering the morale of the troops.”

Exactly, and if this was a Muslim group, everyone on FreeRepublic would be cheering these arrests.

If this were a Muslim group we could be pretty sure of the charges against them. But with Holder and Obama I could certainly see how this could be seriously trumped-up purely for political gain.

But how many Christians have been suspected, as Obama has, of secretly being a Muslim? Given that his supposed Muslim faith has been an issue for some people, it’s not surprising that he would slip and say “Muslim faith”. It’s not like it just came from out of the blue.

And if you look at the video where he said that, it’s obvious that that’s not even how he slipped. He wasn’t referring to his own faith when he said that but what some people believe his faith to be. To be totally clear, he should have said “my SUPPOSED Muslim faith” but he relied on context to get that across, and of course people who want to believe he’s a Muslim will disregard the context.

But all of this is beside the point anyways. Obama is either an atheist or an agnostic. He thinks Islam is a fairy tale just like other religions. Socialism is the closest thing he has to a religion.

What about these guys?

Or THESE guys.

Political intimidation is viewed as a pretty heinous crime, in terms of our Constitutional rights of Free Speech and being a voter in our representative form of government.

And yet the FBI drops all charges on the Black Panthers ... WTF?

Hutaree is accused of attempted use of weapons of mass destruction. ....the group planned to detonate homemade bombs

So conventional homemade bombs are now considered WMDs?

I am hoping others here are also remembering this, this group is being set up and paraded around for political purposes, being used by a Federal government thats controlled by a Marxist Muslim.

I know what side I would rather be suppotive of, even if some acts are moderately true of what they were about to do I would not condemn them, those that are are probably liberal lurkers.

This is a christian militia thats patriotic, they were following the laws of the constitution.

The MSM is in spin mode to demonize this, best thing I can say is this, the first casualty of war is truth, remember that people.

That’s a very good parallel case. In both instances, the target of violence is local LEO.

Yes, if they are guilty they should hang.

It's being reported they were plotting the annihilation of Police funeral mourners as far back as 2008.

That said, they certainly missed a big opportunity when on November 29, 2009 there were four Lakewood police officers gunned down with 4 funerals and thousands of mourners.

It would be important if we could find out how the alleged Christian Militia responded to that incident.
