WASHINGTON — A federal jury in Washington found Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes guilty of seditious conspiracy in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Rhodes was on trial alongside Jessica Watkins, Kelly Meggs, Kenneth Harrelson and Thomas Caldwell; Caldwell was the only one of the five who was not detained while awaiting trial. The jury is reading its verdict in the case. All five defendants face felony counts of seditious conspiracy, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an official proceeding and aiding and abetting, and conspiracy to prevent an officer from discharging their duties....

The Justice Department’s (DOJ) leveling of seditious conspiracy charges against the founder of the Oath Keepers has renewed interest — and in some cases faith — in DOJ and whether its investigation could yield charges against other high-level figures involved in the attack on the Capitol, including those in former President Trump’s orbit. Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the far-right militia group, was never in the Capitol on Jan. 6, but he’s been charged alongside other members who used a military “stack” formation to enter the building.

On Dec. 21, 2020, QAlerts, an aggregator of drops from the anonymous poster known as Q, called on his tens of thousands of followers on Gab to head to Washington, D.C. to protest the 2020 election. “When the President of The United States requests your presence, you show up,” it wrote, calling on “patriots” to show up on Jan. 6. Around the same time, the head of the Oath Keepers, a militia steeped in far-right conspiracy theories, demanded the same of its members. “It is CRITICAL that all patriots who can be in DC get to DC to stand tall...

A Virginia veteran who was accused of being a member of the Oath Keepers and charged over the Capitol riot was released on bail on Friday, as the judge in his case questioned the strength of the charges against him.

Federal prosecutors accused him of plotting for months in advance with fellow associates of the anti-government Oath Keepers militia.

The Houston Police Officers’ Union unleashed on liberal Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo for imposing a “Draconian” mask order. “Now we want to be very clear, HPOU believes everyone should be wearing a mask in public, in order to protect themselves from the virus and we are encouraging all of our officers to wear a mask. However, we draw the line…” the police union said in a Twitter post. Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, a “proud progressive,” on Wednesday will be making it mandatory for anyone over the age of 10 to wear a mask in public in response to...

I was watching a Chuck Baldwin sermon on John chapter 7 titled "Elitists have always hated Jesus". It is one of three sermons on a DVD labeled "Christ and the Pharisees". About 34 minutes into the sermon, he mentions that 25% of those surveyed in 1995 replied "Yes" when asked if they would fire on Americans. Shortly after, he stated that the number was 66% in 2013. I have been trying to verify the 66% figure. I found one article posted on the 'net, where that number was given as current (in 2013); but have been unable to verify the...

My dear son; I would like to apologise to you and your children, and their children as well for what you are inheriting in the near future. The generations before me fought and sometimes died for the freedoms that we have had in this great land, known as the United States of America. Due to my generation's inattention, the God given rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as delineated in the Declaration of Independance and guaranteed by our foundingfathers when they wrote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights have shrunk dramatically. I, too, like you, took...
