Stewart Rhodes was living his vision of the future. On television, American cities were burning, while on the internet, rumors warned that antifa bands were coming to terrorize the suburbs. Rhodes was driving around South Texas, getting ready for them. He answered his phone. “Let’s not f**k around,” he said. “We’ve descended into civil war.”
It was a Friday evening in June. Rhodes, 55, is a stocky man with a gray buzz cut, a wardrobe of tactical-casual attire, and a black eye patch. With him in his pickup were a pistol and a dusty black hat with the gold logo of the Oath Keepers, a militant group that has drawn in thousands of people from the military and law-enforcement communities.
Rhodes had been talking about civil war since he founded the Oath Keepers, in 2009. But now more people were listening. And whereas Rhodes had once cast himself as a revolutionary in waiting, he now saw his role as defending the president. He had put out a call for his followers to protect the country against what he was calling an “insurrection.” The unrest, he told me, was the latest attempt to undermine Donald Trump.
Over the summer, Rhodes’s warnings of conflict only grew louder. In August, when a teenager was charged with shooting and killing two people at protests over police brutality in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Rhodes called him “a Hero, a Patriot” on Twitter.

So his campaign knows about the tape as we all do but Biden just denies it? I swear I am trying to be good but I just want to punch Joe Biden in the face he just lies all the time I can not take it.
Brought to you by the same seditious publisher who tried to stir up the military against Trump with a fake news story.

Pay no attention to the smoldering cities the lefts army just burned down we are worried about the rights miltias, and rightfully so! when it comes there is no stopping it. The big boy pants youve been wearing all this time is about to be soiled
The media should be worried more about what antifa and BLM are going to do on election day than what a bunch of vets and LEO's and other patriots are going to do.
Time to burn down the Atlantic, and send their urinalists err journalists off to some black site or GITMO.
I’m an Oath Keeper, in the sense that I took the Oath 5 times and then retired. I’m still under the UCMJ and I do believe the Oath still applies to me.
I’m sure there are tens of thousands of fellow FReepers who are also so willingly bound.
Oath Keepers
People who at some point in their careers took an oath to the US and it’s constitution, same as politicians. Oh my, they’re dangerous.
The Atlantic???
I put the validity of this just behind a few of the other things I believe in.
Santa Claus
Easter Bunny
The government is here to help me.

The Atlantic
pro-Trump...since 2009?
Crap article indeed. It has all the buzz words intended to trigger other true believers.
Middle aged white male.
Tactical casual attire.
Pick up truck. (that’s a big one)
Pistol in the truck.
Black hat.
They forgot the Trump stickers on his truck and his crew of hunting dogs in the back.
Oath Keepers are ‘militant’ but BLM and Antifa aren’t?
Interesting take.
Expect to see more of this kind of stuff.
As citizens begin looking to organize for self-protection the left will be calling us even things more egregious.
A few months back I saw a recruiting item for Oath Keepers. The information they were providing via open internet was how to organize to protect your neighborhood.
No wonder Biden looks dazed - he's getting a 24 hour per day, 7 day per week 'BJ' from The Atlantic...

I will be working the polls election day. I want to see who COUNTS THE VOTES and what procedure they use. I have a training class on the 9th; if I remember I’ll update the information.
White- Caucasian, by accident of birth, out of my control.
Nationalist- Lover of my country and its founding principles; America first.
Is there something wrong about that?
Partisan Media Shills update.
It’s a huge difference calling troops “You magnificent sons of bitches”, and calling troops “You stupid bastards”.
“The Atlantic.”
They can publish anything they want, but if the shtf, they become targets.
