Seven men and one woman believed to be part of the Michigan-based group Hutaree were arrested this past weekend in raids in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, and another was still being sought.
FBI agents moved quickly against Hutaree because its members were planning an attack in April, prosecutors said. Authorities seized guns but would not say whether they found any explosives.
Attorney General Eric Holder said the arrests dealt "a severe blow to a dangerous organization that today stands accused of conspiring to levy war against the United States."
Authorities said the arrests underscored the dangers of homegrown right-wing extremism of the sort seen in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that killed 168 people.
” . . . a dangerous organization that today stands accused of conspiring to levy war against the United States.”
The mind reels.
Was Bill Ayers ever “accused of conspiring to levy war against the United States.”
Were the rest of the SDS, Weather Underground and Black Panthers that have now risen to national notoriety and positions of prominence in the power structure now in charge in this once great country?
How about CAIR, the ecoterrorist groups, La Raza, the New Black Panthers, etc?
How about our beloved African Muslim Marxist leader, Mr. “Fundamentally Transform the United States of America,” clearly affiliated through only one or two degrees of separation with so many of those people?
Are we to assume that “the United States” that was being conspired against was equated with, identicle to, the increasingly tyrannical Federal Government?
Are we all, then, also enemies of the state, aiding and abetting the enemy through our questioning and statements of concern?
Sounds like it is war. Battle lines being drawn . . . .
