latest right wing terror plot

[Skjellyfetti]

Four Army soldiers based in southeast Georgia killed a former comrade and his girlfriend to protect an anarchist militia group they formed that stockpiled assault weapons and plotted a range of anti-government attacks, prosecutors told a judge Monday.

Prosecutors in rural Long County, near the sprawling Army post Fort Stewart, said the militia group of active and former U.S. military members spent at least $87,000 buying guns and bomb components. They allege the group was serious enough to kill two people - former soldier Michael Roark and his 17-year-old girlfriend, Tiffany York - by shooting them in the woods last December in order to keep its plans secret.

"This domestic terrorist organization did not simply plan and talk," prosecutor Isabel Pauley told a Superior Court judge. "Prior to the murders in this case, the group took action. Evidence shows the group possessed the knowledge, means and motive to carry out their plans."

One of the Fort Stewart soldiers charged in the case, Pfc. Michael Burnett, also gave testimony that backed up many of the assertions made by prosecutors. The 26-year-old soldier pleaded guilty Monday to manslaughter, illegal gang activity and other charges. He made a deal to cooperate with prosecutors against the three other soldiers.

Prosecutors said the group called itself F.E.A.R., short for Forever Enduring Always Ready. Pauley said authorities don't know how many members it had.

Burnett, 26, said he knew the group's leaders from serving with them at Fort Stewart. He agreed to testify against fellow soldiers Pvt. Isaac Aguigui, identified by prosecutors as the militia's founder and leader, and Sgt. Anthony Peden and Pvt. Christopher Salmon.

The prosecutor said the militia group had big plans. It plotted to take over Fort Stewart by seizing its ammunition control point and talked of bombing the Forsyth Park fountain in nearby Savannah, she said. In Washington state, she added, the group plotted to bomb a dam and poison the state's apple crop. Ultimately, prosecutors said, the militia's goal was to overthrow the government and assassinate the president.

Sounds like bullshit.

Is it any surprise that a corrupt government would be afraid of Militias?

Expect more vilification of guns and militias (even framing of militia members) as the government further reduces our gun rights and liberties. FISA Bill.. Patriot Act... etc.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

If it's true that these militia members shot 2 people (sounds like bullshit) then they should be given a fair trial. Isn't that how it used to work in this country?

A well regulated Militia

A group of rednecks playing with guns in the woods and plotting to blow up public buildings, poison food supply, kill the President is not a well regulated militia.

Who does the Constitution say is in charge of regulating the militia? Congress.

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

It's fascinating how you are so quick to accept evidence from some youtube video as credible, but not the evidence presented by a prosecutor.

Are you certain this is a right wing group. When I think anarchist, I think of the Russian revolution, or more recently the attacks on the RNC in St Paul in 2008. Not claiming they are leftwing, but I don't know much about this group.

We'll call this one a foul ball...at least you hit the ball, but not completely fair...

Leader of Army Plot to Assassinate Obama Apparently Attended the 2008 Republican Convention as a Page

Isaac Aguigui, the Army private and alleged ringleader of a plot to assassinate Barack Obama and "take over" Ft. Stewart in Georgia, apparently served as a page at the 2008 Republican National Convention in Minneapolis, Minn. That's his mug shot after he was arrested for the alleged murder of Pvt. Michael Roark on the left. At right is a 2008 Reuters photo with the caption: "Republican National Convention page Isaac Aguigui watches from the edge of the floor at the start of the first session of the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota September 1, 2008."

Yes this is widespread, and their members are as prolific and crafty as the Klan.

Keep watching the redneck idiots, Donks. The smart enemies don't get caught. Think about it.

That was my first thought. Anarchists are usually associated with the far left. These guys aren't just stupid, they're confused.
