Thousands of police and soldiers people professionally trained in the use of violence and familiar with military protocols are part of an extremist effort to undermine the U.S. government and subvert the democratic process. According to an investigative report published in the Atlantic in November into a leaked database kept by the Oath Keepers one of several far-right and white supremacist militias that stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 10% of Oath Keepers are current police officers or military members. Another significant portion of the group's membership is retired military and law enforcement personnel. The hate group founded by a former Army paratrooper after Barack Obama's 2008 election claimed "an improbable 30,000 members who were said to be mostly current and former military, law enforcement and emergency first responders" in 2016, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. The Three Percenters, another militia present at the Capitol on Jan. 6, also draws a substantial portion of its members from law enforcement, both military and civilian. Larry Brock, a pro-Trump rioter arrested with zip-tie handcuffs, allegedly for taking hostages, is a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who posted content from the Three Percenters online. The militia movement is a militarized stream of the American far-right. Its members promote an ideology that undermines the authority and legitimacy of the federal government and stockpile weapons. When militia members have a professional background with the military or police, it enhances the ability of these groups to execute sophisticated and successful operations. It also helps them convey a patriotic image that obscures the security threat they present. |

That’s funny, because I see their side as the side that is more coordinated and being more capable of violence based on what I’ve seen in Oregon and another places were antifa operates.

Southern Poverty Lie Center. They got a couple of the buzz-worthy orgs smeared in there. They forgot the Knights of Columbus and their assault swords.

View Quote The militant wing of the left is good at getting a lot of people out to one location, and has the capability to commit lower-level violence and property damage on a large scale simply by virtue of numbers. They’ve also shown that they can perform very basic “tactical” maneuvers. However, in most cases they aren’t going against a real opponent with real numbers. If it was game on/gloves off with even some of the goofier groups of the militant right, I doubt they’d fare well, even with vastly superior numbers. That said, it’d still be a very bad idea to underestimate them. |

Further down they neglect to mention the the KKK was a Democrat organization.
And never mention that one of their exalted leader a lefty favorite, Senator Byrd. |

Quoted: Divide and conquer. Hate the so-called right? Then embrace the government and its woke military and idiots like the FBI. Federal gov, with the help of Big Tech, is gearing up for a full blown civil war.

Lol, SPLC report…which means a group of leftist attorneys that hate everyone that isn’t them and had to kick their own founder out for lewd sexual behavior with minors and may have to kick a couple more high ranking members out too…they also got caught hiding millions of dollars from taxation in offshore accounts…they’re lying sacks of shit that have multiple libel suits against them.

Sounds like they want a Federal police force so the left can do away with those pesky local jurisdictions and centralize the chain of command.

Sounds like they need to pump those numbers up. Need more military and police members.

View Quote The current US government is illegitimate, and the democratic process has already been subverted. The premise is dumb and everything else is bullshit. |

All the "white supremacist" groups need to congeal into a unified homogenized force to be reckoned with is a good dental plan.
