The OK that AJ interviewed last week claimed that it started with some former law enforcement-type guys here on FR deciding that their working peers needed to be better educated on upholding the Constitution—and so they initially were formed as an educational group.
I of course have no idea if there is truth to any of that and/or if there were feds originally in on its start.
I’m an oath keeper.
I was first signed up in Connecticut where it was explained to me that the oath keepers were not a group of people who really did anything. It was a pledge that the oath taken for police and military defense of the constitution invalidated any order given that defied that very constitution.
In other words a cop would never enforce a law that infringed on your rights, even if under duress from a superior.
Connecticut. In the days after Sandy Hook.
The oath keepers there proved themselves totally worthless and milquetoast. Like the CCDL.
The media wants you to think of the oathkeepers as something different so that patriotic Trump deplorables will join and literally dive into a jail cell.
Don’t take that bait.
