WHY do we (some of us) seem to believe the feds AREN'T already working on this cult?? How do we know they haven't already installed "plants" in this commune and are getting serious intel already? We aren't privy to gov. intel and we have no idea what's going on behind the scenes. Remember, Bush is in charge now - not that bulbous nosed bubba boob!
IMHO, they will take these people down. When they're ready. Maybe a coordinated effort at just the right time - all over the U.S. We don't need cowboys rushing the place and possibly suffering tragic losses. Let's be prudent! Keep up the research but lay low and watch as well informed spectators!
You make very good points. And we come to the same conclusion from different directions: I suggest people don't take action because I'm afraid they'll get shot and you suggest people don't take action because the Feds may already be taking action behind the scenes.
However, I would like to comment on the thrust of your post.
You say "we have no idea what's going on behind the scenes" but that's not exactly true. We can make reasonable guesses based on past history of domestic terrorist groups & cults and the Fed's response to them.
1) Almost certainly you are right about plants. I don't believe there has EVER been an active, large scale group that didn't have intelligence agents/double-agents within it.
2) But is that good news or bad news? Certainly we can't forget about OKC! I'm not an expert on that case, but I believe I've seen here and even on mainstream outlets like CNN that at least one woman has come forward saying she was an FBI contact and that she warned her "handler" that OKC was in the works prior to the attack. And the Feds did nothing.
3) These "Islamic villages" seem to be a large scale endeavor. Like any large scale effort, we can look at history and guess that there are agents/double-agents within the groups. If so, then HOW DID 911/WTC take the Feds by "surprise?" Did none of the people in this group have advance warning?
