Attitude Check Inside the Unorganized Militia (Some profanity)
mymilitia.com ^ | 06 July 2020 | Jeff Cole

Posted on 07/08/2020 8:42:04 PM PDT by Salvavida

If you were ever curious and wanted to be a fly on the wall in a forum with some of the leaders of unorganized militia groups in these United States, then this is for you.

There is an essay being circulated within militia circles, and I thought it was just too good not to let you peak into the Smokey Back room of what is being said, doubly so from the comments it has received. This comes from a militia leader, addressing everyone in open forum. I obtained permission to repost here. I did not edit it. It does contain salty language, but not gratuitously so. Please show forbearance as it is written with a warrior's spirit. I think the value here is the mindset of the militia is being challenged, recognizing that “Go Time” is approaching us quickly, and reality is causing no little self-evaluation. Not from all, but at least a significant number. Judging from many of your posts I see on Free Republic, this may answer some questions what is not plainly visible to you. It certainly isn't all that is being discussed, but I include it based off of reactions from leaders of several states. This essay will find its way to other platforms, but Free Republic is the first public post, aside from its original post in closed forum.

Trust no man, and definitely no organization.

Every man knows what to do, and when.

Organization is your death and enslavement of your children.

Confide and operate ONLY with family and life-long friends.

Or, be a dead fool.

Excellent post. A friend of mine is USMC, Staff Sergeant, and looking for a local militia to get into. I asked him.if he was part of one yet, and he said no, but considered starting one. I told him I’d reach out first, and this is a great starting point.

God knows there has to be one in northeastern IL somewhere.

There is a saying in counterintelligence:

It isn't paranoia if they are REALLY out to get you.

Interesting. “In my estimation there are three ways to address our biggest Achilles heel—our image.”

Um. There is no problem with the American Militia image. Relax. Just organize, practice and listen to experts on tactics. And yes, it is fun to practice and healthy to learn tactics.

Thankfully, President Trump is rebuilding the US Military so that the American Militia can become proper assistants.

My Dad was a pilot. When I was 12, he took me to Boston on one of his trips, and we walked the Liberty Trail.

On the way home at a stop in Denver, it appeared his plane would be full and my standby ticket would not allow me to get home that day. So he handed me $50, and told me to go get a hotel and come back the next day and try again. Then he walked on the plane.

I have had had a plan for all possible contingencies every day since.

All contingencies. Planned. In Advance.

And the only place they do and ever will exist is in my mind, unless things get out of hand and they need to be exercised.

Thank you.   Any fool who joins this cluster of ducks has a target on his keister.   And no, I didn't read any of this for obvious reasons.

There are philosophical differences in yourresponse, but this isn’t the place. It is being hammered out elsewhere. Thanks.

Very few of us were ever "professional" military or even para-military. Sure, there are some but not a lot of former or present cops and soldiers amongst our ranks.

And how many in the ranks are actually undercover FBI agents?

In Texas...GOVERNMENT CODE
TITLE 4. EXECUTIVE BRANCH
SUBTITLE C. STATE MILITARY FORCES AND VETERANS
CHAPTER 431. STATE MILITIA
SUBCHAPTER A. GENERAL PROVISIONS
SUBCHAPTER E. RESERVE MILITIA Sec. 431.034. REPORT.
(a) The adjutant general annually shall report to the governor. The report shall be delivered to the legislature. The report must include:
(1) an account, to the extent of the adjutant general's knowledge, of all arms, ammunition, and other military property owned by or in possession of the state, the source from which it was received, to whom it is issued, and its present condition;
(2) a statement of the number, condition, and organization of the Texas National Guard and reserve militia;
Sec. 431.001. DEFINITIONS. In this chapter: (1) "Reserve militia" means the persons liable to serve, but not serving, in the state military forces.
(1-a) "Service member" has the meaning assigned by Section 161.551, Health and Safety Code.
(2) "State militia" means the state military forces and the reserve militia.
THERE is where the responsibility lies, not with militia groups. The government of the State of Texas is at fault.
Change the attitude of the government first.

There is plenty of information available about the Texas National Guard and the Texas Air National Guard, but I can't find any report with a statement of the number, condition, and organization of the reserve militia.
Even if there is NO reserve militia it should be in the report.
Typically with governments, however, an armed, trained (regulated) militia, the "Reserve militia", is what is most feared. It enforces in the mind of Citizens where the true power of a State is...with the People.

The closest most Texans can get to being reserve militia is to join the Texas State Guard and that isn't even the "Reserve militia".

(3) "State military forces" means the Texas National Guard, the Texas State Guard, and any other active militia or military force organized under state law.

That is one of the image problems the Old Guard has. Not so much with the new or relatively new (better term).

I have 2 retired feds, one retired po-po in my unit. What statute is being broken by 4A (freedom of association) and 2A?

The unorganized militia is LAW. 10 USC sect 246. It really does exist. Even though it is not what the Founders intended.

You are reacting to the fruits and nuts that exist by themselves, not the ones that are getting it done by working with the local cops and business owners. The myths are not reality.

My advice...in the mean time, form or join a paintball team.
Gives training on working as a squad/unit, strategy, tactics and leadership among other things.

JMO, YMMV

In a 50 mile radius of me, there are only *7* “members”?

Yet every gun shop in the same radius is packed and struggling to meet demand?

IMO, the Celtic-blooded ‘billies are going Full Mosby/Children of the Mist and not adding their names or locations to ANY list, ever.

When/if the time comes, the hills will not only have eyes but a huge surprise.

I’d never put my name on any membership list of anything and I’m just a ‘billy chick.
