The FBI is a disgrace. 14 militia members were arrested, but only after 12 FBI informants coaxed them into agreeing to a ridiculous “plot”.
In the past I’ve written quite a bit about the FBI’s method of entrapping innocent Muslims into agreeing to some far-flung terrorist plot, only to sweep in and arrest the hapless men. Few people seem to realize that the same tactics are used against Americans on a regular basis. Many believe the 1995 OKC bombing was an FBI entrapment case that went live. The same argument is now being made regarding the events of January 6th at the US Capitol. The lesson here is this: don’t create a militia. The people who join militias are the type that will fall for these plots. Forming any kind of political group brings with it the risk of G-men infiltration, so at the very least it’s important to keep guns out of it. The kind of people who fantasize about overthrowing the US government have never read a book in their lives, and have never made an attempt to engage on the battlefield of ideas, the only true battlefield.
