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.

I don’t think he’s atheist or agnostic -

I think he’s ACTIVELY anti-Christian.

Given how the left, and especially Obama, politicizes everything, I doubt what the govt says in this case. Sedition? After what the left has done for the past 10 years, let along the past 40+ years? Yeah right.

You are correct, Joe. And those damned banjos in the background are also problematic. ;-)

So, anybody who disagrees with the government is to be charged with sedition?

Let's see........when was the last time any citizen in the USA has been brought up on Sedition charges?

There have been 24 attempts in the United States to regulate speech that has been deemed seditious.

snip

Laura Berg, a nurse at a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in New Mexico was investigated for sedition in September 2005[13] after writing a letter[14][15] to the editor of a local newspaper, accusing several national leaders of criminal negligence. Though their action was later deemed unwarranted by the director of Veteran Affairs, local human resources personnel took it upon themselves to request an FBI investigation. Ms. Berg was represented by the ACLU[16]. Charges were dropped in 2006[1].

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

We all agree with you. But is teaching preparedness for the tribulation and violence against the anti-christ, but not acting upon it, a crime? They have whacky ideas. But tyrannical governments always go after the people with whacky ideas FIRST as a prelude to going against anyone who dares to disagree with the rulers.

Let's wait until the evidence comes out in court.

Isn't this what we're always cautioned to do by CAIR when a Muslim is arrested for plotting to blow something up?

If any civil disturbance by a resistance group, religious organization, or other persons considered to be non-conformist takes place, under Appendix 3 to Annex B of Plan 55-2 hereby gives all Federal forces total power over the situation if local and state authorities cannot put down said dissenters.

going after the less dangerous targets.
same reason cops go after speeders, or people holding small poker games in their homes rather than drug dealers and gang bangers

If you are a Christian (and probably a Jew) and are organizing for when the Feds impose martial law then you are not allowed to do so.

-- So, have you seen any details about earnest preparation. --

Only news reports that the group was in the process of obtaining common hardware that could be assembled into an IED. I just now (maybe 30 seconds ago) found a link to the indictment.

Link to a PDF of the indictment

Most Marxists are atheists, and atheists are anti-Christian.

You don’t have to be religious to be anti Christian.

I'm keeping my powder dry and waiting for the facts. Everyone is innocent till proven guilty.

I've seen both legitimate charges and BS. I'm not going to speculate what this is. I don't know.

Should be a lesson to all of us. FR is no doubt being monitored as well.

Everything you post on this board is being monitored and collected by the Obamist Dictatorship. Count on it.

"Something doesn’t smell right. The FBI is saying the group was targeting the police...yet CAIR comes out yesterday saying the group was targeting muslims."

You're right, stinks to high heaven.
