Sorry Lame-stream Media, The FBI Does Not See a Violent Militia Trend

It seems as if the only topic that the Media Wants to talk about is what they perceive as the "violence" in the Tea Party movement. Obama apologists such as the ADL and the Southern Poverty Law Center have written bogus reports about the Tea Party Movement, saying that the movement is leading to an increase of violence in the country. Heck even Larry King is getting into the act, interviewing Dana Loesch last night, trying to get her to say that the tea party is all about violence (of course he was not successful, see video below).



Earlier this week the FBI arrested members of a radical Militia group, named the Hutaree Militia, the group described them selves as a Christian militia training for a battle with forces of the Antichrist. These nut jobs had a sick idea to kill a cop and then kill every one who attended the cop's funeral.

Since the arrest, the media has been tripping all over themselves to connect this group of idiots to the tea parties and predict that there will be more "right-wing militia" uprisings coming soon because of the violent intentions of anyone who opposes the President. The FBI disagrees:

...the alleged plot by Midwestern militants and violent outbursts by scattered individuals don't signal any coming wave of extremist violence, federal investigators say.


There's more fizzle than fight among self-styled militias and other groups right now, they say, and little chance of a return to the organized violence that proved so deadly in the 1990s.


Militia extremist statements "primarily have served as an expression of anger after a particular event," according to an FBI intelligence bulletin obtained by The Associated Press. "The FBI assesses the likelihood of violent conflict from the remaining group members or other militia extremists as low."


A group of Christian militants calling themselves the Hutaree stand charged with plotting attacks against police in Michigan, assaults that prosecutors say the militants hoped would inspire others to commit anti-government violence. There was no attack; authorities moved in and made arrests last weekend because, the prosecutors contend, the group was girding for action in April.


There is always a risk of a lone wolf launching an attack, and law enforcement officials cannot rule out the possibility that they have failed to detect larger, more organized plots still unfolding. But the FBI bulletin - it was issued to police departments - underscores that authorities have not yet detected clear signs of a revival of organized violence that would require a strong federal response.

....One key: Law enforcement officials say the lack of an armed, deadly confrontation in last weekend's arrests - as there was in the 1993 standoff in Waco, Texas - made it less likely any groups would attempt new violence.
According to the FBI bulletin, the arrests of nine suspected members of the Hutaree group in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, generated sympathy from other militia groups, but no copycats.

The militia movement came under intense scrutiny following the 1995 bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, as law enforcement methodically investigated the hodgepodge of extremist groups around the country and jailed some of their leaders.

Fears about those groups subsided in the past decade, as the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks led the public and the government to focus on the threat of international terrorism.

After last weekend's arrests in the Midwest, law enforcement officials say that as serious as the Hutaree case is, the FBI sees a more widespread danger from homegrown violence, given a rash of such cases in the past year.

.....Anti-government anger flared in some quarters after Congress passed the massive health care overhaul this month, and a few lawmakers received threats or even suffered vandalism. And the angry political rallies of conservative tea party members have been well publicized. Lost jobs have given millions plenty to be upset about.

..The Southern Poverty Law Center recently reported an increase in what they define as right wing extremist and hate groups around the country.


In comparison, outbursts of violent extremism are minuscule.


Law enforcement officials point out that the extremist groups they do track are so diverse, with so many different motivations - anarchic, anti-tax, racist and on and on - that there is no defining principle other than a kind of general distrust of the government.


In the case of the Hutaree, investigators had been closely watching the group last summer, keeping tabs as they allegedly discussed scenarios in which they would kill a police officer, then attack that officer's funeral with improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, in hopes of killing scores more.


Police moved in as the month of April approached, contending the group had planned a potentially violent "reconnaissance" operation in which members would be prepared to attack. Historically, April is an important month for anti-government extremists: The Oklahoma City bombing was in April, carried out on the second anniversary of the siege at Waco that ended in the fiery deaths of cult members.
