But the Muslim terrorism threat is MUCH MUCH WORSE
Beyond Monday's gun-laden march in Richmond, militias' plans for a 'civil war' look to go national
Thanks to an encouraging tweet from Donald Trump, militias around the United States are preparing to assemble in Richmond, Va., on Monday, to protest gun-control legislation—many vowing to bring their guns,
The Monday protest—which extremist groups are calling the “Boogaloo,” a reference to their long-hoped-for opportunity to declare a civil war against liberals—has inspired a number of such groups to declare their intent to show up fully armed.
Infowars’ Alex Jones has preemptively declared that any violence that occurs will be a “false flag,” and
has said he will be in Virginia to observe, because
“we’ve had two revolutionary wars basically start in Virginia, and
it looks like one may start again.”
Among the “Patriot”/militia organizations planning to attend are 3 Percent militia groups around the country, as well as the Oath Keepers, who specialize in recruiting military and law-enforcement veterans.
Stewart Rhodes ... made clear his intent to use the event as an opportunity to ins ute “cons utionalist” rule in Virginia and elsewhere.Oath Keepers lost in their paranoid, ignorant fantasies
The violent nature of the “Boogaloo” was emphasized this week by the FBI’s arrests of seven members of The Base, a neo-Nazi paramilitary group openly dedicated to training for a “race war.”
a number of them have been indulging in violent rhetoric while discussing their options.
The invading army of paranoid “Patriots” have received official encouragement both
from Trump (which was, in typical fashion, somewhat indirect) and
from religious leaders such as the Rev. Jerry Falwell Jr., who called for “civil disobedience” in response to the Legislature’s planned gun-control measures.
“I’m pretty sure
I’m gonna call for civil disobedience if the Democrats go through with this," Falwell said. “
A number of the militia groups that plan to be in Richmond on Monday include organizations that were banned by court-ordered consent agreement from Charlottesville, Va.,
These include far-fight social-media personality
Tammy Lee, a self-described Charlottesville organizer, who has been promoting an event called “Militias March on Richmond” and intends to bring her group, “Declaration of Restoration.” Others include such militia figures as
New York Light Foot Militia member George Curbelo and
Pennsylvania Light Foot Militia member Christian Yingling.
Joshua Shoaff, another social-media personality operating under the under the pseudonym “Ace Baker,” not only has been urging his audience to attend the rally, but has been issuing death threats to an African-American Virginia legislator,
“You should be pulled out of office by the hair on your head, walking down the streets of the capital, walked up to the steps of a swinging rope that’s placed around your neck, because you, sir, are a tyrant and you’re committing treason,” Shoaff said.
rifle says I’m a free man.”
Among the most disturbing communications are those emanating from the far-right “Patriot” organization Oath Keepers.
“We are confident that many within the National Guard and State Police will refuse those orders and will stand down, but
we want to maximize that outcome and
we want to
prepare the people of Virginia for the worst case scenario
of attempted use of force by the Governor to carry out his orders.”
Rhodes explained that he wants to use the opportunity arising in Virginia to realize a longtime “Patriot” movement fantasy:
Namely,
establishing “cons utionalist” counties in which federal laws are null and void,
and the county sheriff is the highest law in the land.
