people did opinion surveys of the 'militia' groups in the early 1990's to try to find out why they joined militias. About two thirds actually said it was the spotted owl decision of 89 by the republican president of the time that caused them to join the militias. They genuinely believed (and still believe) that the government is hostile to people of the rural west, trying to kill their jobs, etc. They believe that because evidence indicates that it is true.

Also, in court proceedings FBI documents were made public that showed that the federal government had 3 undercover agents among the group that attacked at OK City in 95. The federal guv's own documents showed that BATF asked to bust this group on the suspicion that they would do as they did just as the BATF undercover agent correctly predicted. The FBI itself shut the bust down. At a minimum the government was grossly negligent. But if you look very closely it seems much more likely that the government itself orchestrated the OK City bombing.

The end result was to discredit the militias, which in a perverted federal government sort of a way I guess was effective terror-fighting.

The Clinton administration "de-emphasized" fighting Arab [muslim, really] international terrorism to focus on domestic terrorism – namely, white "right-wing" militia groups – which led to the FBI ignoring [muslim] Arab nationals flocking to U.S. flight schools [and other, non-Arab muslim terrorists in the US], veteran FBI agents told WorldNetDaily.

clinton not only de-empahsized fighting the international islamic jihad, but he was in bed with it--all over the world!!!! It was clinton who enabled the muslim takeover of Bosnia and Kosovo, with the help of Osama bin Laden and the Iranians, among others. clinton's fingerprints are also all over places like Chechnya and "Palestine".

And it was the clintons who first invited a delegation of muslim fifth columnists to the White House, to celebrate Eid al Fitr!!! Unfortunately, Bush has continued the practice, and we had that ugly black "Eid" stamp that the Post Office was trying to push earlier this year as well.

"Damn right--of the worst sort. Reno's stormtroopers should have all faced tribunals."

That was my point in asking -- the NY Times appears to be saying Waco was domestic terrorism, thus inadvertently (I would assume inadvertently, anyway) calling the fed agents the ones perpetrating the terrorism.

I think I'd rather have the Waco people as neighbors than Al Quida.

Heck, I think I'd have rather had the Branch Davidians as neighbors than the FBI, and certainly the BATF. Waco was terrorism by the government against the People, CDHart.

"Waco was terrorism by the government against the People, CDHart."

Aaarrrrggghhh! I know that -- that was why I brought it up. The question is, why did the NY TIMES call Waco an act of domestic terrorism? The only ones perpetrating violence were the fed agents.

And the Times is a known purveyor of disinformation and propaganda. Boortz was ranting yesterday about a Times article that slammed the US military for being cavalier about killing noncombatants in Afghanistan. Their source for their main "evidence": Quotes from some U.S. civilian on the ground in Afghanistan. A little digging revealed she is a known antiwar "activist", who doesn't believe the US should be in Afghanistan at all. And she is all of 23 years old, so of course she has infinite wisdom and is totally credible. Naturally, the NYT didn't reveal any details about their highly credible source.

LOL! I know how you feel. Someone at work recently, when I brought up Waco, said it was ancient history -- they got an earful.

I beleive, evetually if some one does so, they will find Slick and his wife in the same bed as the French, Germans, UN re "Food for Oil"-this was in international bribery and slush fund manipulated by Saddam to his own ends.

to sell the populace on another 8 years of worse

with a new worsened IDIOT STOOLIE IN CHIEF KOMMIEKERRY.
