Army soldiers formed a militia group in Georgia that plotted to overthrow the U.S. government — and they killed a fellow soldier and his girlfriend to keep the plot secret, prosecutors alleged Monday, according to the Associated Press.
Prosecutors in the Long County, Ga., case say that the militia group planned to overtake the nearby Fort Stewart, to bomb a dam in Washington state and poison the state’s apple crop and ultimately overthrow the government and assassinate the president, according to reports.

Rebuilding the dam was the number one project in their proposed jobs program after taking power.
Sometimes “ex” government employees (like military) are those who’ve been kicked out because of criminal infractions.
These numbnuts were recruiting those who’d been kicked out or were up on charges.
The Colorado shooter had been kicked out in the 1990s but it didn’t keep them from calling him a former soldier.
The NYC fashion designer was in the Coast Guard in the 1970s and that was mentioned in accounts of his “attack” (where more people were injure by police fire than his own).
I wouldn’t expect that there is much of this type of lunacy in the Tea Party movement. How can I come to this conclusion?
Government agencies do a good job of infiltrating various groups. Clearly the Tea Party is on the radar of the Obama administration, Democrat Party, and Republican Party establishment.
There was even some government infiltration for monitoring purposes in the group that plotted to firebomb the 2008 GOP convention and kidnap delegates.
We hear semi-frequently about domestic bomb plots where some jihadist wannabe is suckered into pushing the detonator for a non-bomb. You’d think if there was the likelihood of someone being seduced into such activity “within” the Tea Part movement, the government would have already exploited such a “fine example”.
It is a different mettle of character. One that seeks to PRESERVE this nation, not overthrow its institutions.
Means nothing. A Code Pink agent secured a ringside seat at the 2008 GOP convention and she heckled John McCain DURING his acceptance speech.
Infiltration for the purposes of observation comes in all political stripes.
So retarded government employees started yet another “militia group.” Most of the recent terrorists in the news have been sexually confused weirdos and other lefties.
Yep
hee hee hee those are normally reserved to young college kids. I so NO significance in that. I was a delegate at the TX GOP Convention in 2008 and again this year. No great shakes there either (but I do not plot to overthrow the government). May I remind you that I doubt this whole episode is real. More Fed overreach imagined stuff.
Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
Hysteric.] (Med.)
A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
paroxism or fits.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
throat. The affection presents the most varied
symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
alone. Hysteric
This paper examines the growth of government during this century as a result of giving women the right to vote. Using cross-sectional time-series data for 1870 to 1940, we examine state government expenditures and revenue as well as voting by U.S. House and Senate state delegations and the passage of a wide range of different state laws. Suffrage coincided with immediate increases in state government expenditures and revenue and more liberal voting patterns for federal representatives, and these effects continued growing over time as more women took advantage of the franchise. Contrary to many recent suggestions, the gender gap is not something that has arisen since the 1970s, and it helps explain why American government started growing when it did.
