The judge’s 36 page opinion on why the Hutaree should be released. (pdf file)

http://www.mied.uscourts.gov/Opinions/robertspdf/Order%20on%20Detention%20in%20Militia%20Case.pdf

Yet nearly two weeks later they’re still in jail due to things completely unrelated to the case. The bond was stayed because of the shooting of a Detroit cop in an unrelated case. The second time it was stayed because of infighting among the feds.

Apparently the federal government’s strategy here is to hold them until they’re forgotten.

In Orwell’s 1984, Big Brother created the subversive Emmanuel Goldstein to justify its paranoia and violent suppression of dissent. The so-called militia movement is the fascist left’s ‘Emmanuel’.

The left, making its “lists”,

needs to understand that we’re keeping a few mental lists ourselves.

“Even “hate-filled, venomous speech,” she said, is “a right that deserves First Amendment protection.”

I like that!

The Southern Poverty Law Center spreads paranoia. I guess that makes them a hate group that we should keep our eye on.

"Newscasters and columnists touted a report by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) claiming that the number of anti-government "Patriot" organizations is skyrocketing."

If my organization was not on the SPLC's "list" I would be disappointed. All patriotic organizations should be on commies watch list. I wouldn't doubt that the NRA is on that list also.

The SPLC is just a racist wing of the ACLU.

Southern poverty is not any different than overall American poverty, but this left wing is all about empowering people based on race, and not on ability.

The fundamental doctrine of the SPLC is racist based, and not credible. We are One Nation, under GOD, with liberty and Justice for ALL. SPLC believes they stand in the middle of empowerment of people and are in the directors seat.

Education and incentive are the empowerment of people. Repression of 1st Amendment speech, or thought, or organization, regardless of race or creed, is detrimental to society. The basic idea of repression creates anger and discord and sets the groundwork for resistive forces.

“SMVM, a secular group that includes a convert to Islam, distrusted the “strong anti-Muslim sentiment” it detected in the Hutaree. The SMVM did “keep the lines of communication open,” she notes, “but that was to keep an eye on them as much as anything else.”

“The Detroit News that they had warned the Federal Bureau of Investigation about the Hutaree over a year ago.”

Do we have a pattern here?

The Agent-in-Charge for the arest of the Huartee Militia was Andrew Arena. I am watching with interest to see if his undercover agent is a Muslim who infiltrated the Christian Militia. It is possible if you look at Agent Arena’s reputation.

Note his quote in FBI release:

http://detroit.fbi.gov/dojpressrel/pressrel10/de032910.htm

Federal Bureau of Investigation -Detroit

“Nine Members of a Militia Group Charged with Seditious Conspiracy and Related Offenses”

“.. Andrew Arena, FBI Special Agent in Charge, said, “This is an example of radical and extremist fringe groups which can be found throughout our society. The FBI takes such extremist groups seriously, especially those who would target innocent citizens and the law enforcement officers who protect the citizens of the United States...”

Here is a lengthy article about Agent Arena’s history:

Special SuperModel in Charge: Federal Bureau of Islamists Gets a New Detroit Chief

By Debbie Schlussel

“By the way, Andrew “Andy” Arena has a history of brown stuff at the end of his nose when it comes to Islamists. Wearing brown nose make-up for Muslims was his job at the FBI in New York. “

We need an honest version of the SPLC. A group that honestly tracks terrorist, hate and extremist groups in the US. The SPLC is the Bernie Madoff of 'civil rights' groups, a scam and a fraud designed to raise huge amounts of money from the suckers.

I emailed Brent Bozell with this idea. Zarkie, would you have any ideas on how to get someone to take up this idea and run with it?

We know the parrot media won’t be of help. But people need to attack the credibility of the SPLC as a “race based” entitlement propagator. Groups like this do not want the “war on poverty” to be successful because they completely lose their impetus.

Isn’t that EXACTLY what Habeus Corpus is supposed to prevent?

Southern Poverty Law Center is lower on the whaleshit scale than the Westboro Baptist Church and the Dumbass Phelps Family.....they profit on fabricated hate. Their contradict themselves in video and in print so much a 4 year old thumb sucker is on to their shit’n’shineola shows that pays THEIR BILLS.

When SPLC says that the Black Panthers, La Raza etc are not hate groups but the Boy Scouts of America are ?!?!?!??

Doom on all those gundecking shitbirds.

You really need to learn to tell folks how you really feel my friend. Holding all that stuff inside isn’t good for you.
