The FBI Finally Gets It Right!!

Ladies & gentlemen:
I am both stunned and elated; Apparently, the FBI finally got it right.
I was just watching FOX news with Hannity & Colmes. They were discussing the Washington D.C. sniper incidents with guest Danny Coulson, former chief aide to former FBI Deputy Director Larry Potts. If those names sound familiar, it is because Potts and Coulson were suspected of having issued the illegal orders to FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi to shoot to kill any armed person seen at the Weaver cabin during the Ruby Ridge incident.
Anyway, I don't remember whether it was Hannity or Colmes who asked Coulson
if he thought a Militia member might be behind these sniper attacks in D.C., but Coulson floored me when he replied, "Frankly, most of the people who join Militias do not commit crimes." He went on to say, "No, if it's a domestic terrorist it's probably somebody associated with Christian Identity or some other racist group."
I looked at my wife, she looked at me, and we both said at the same time,
"They finally got it!".
How many years has it been now? We formed the Southern Oregon Militia in 1993, so it has taken the FBI nine years to finally figure out that master con man Morris Dees of the Southern Poverty Law Center, and those cretins of the Anti-Defamation League were lying to them all along. The citizen Militias never have posed a criminal threat to any individual or to the nation as a whole, but these Christian Identity/Aryan Nations groups most certainly do, and I cannot help but wonder if some of the extensive writing I've undertaken and published on the difference between our two camps didn't make it to their desks and finally into their heads.
It's obvious Hannity and/or Colmes are still in the same mental rut, so we're not out of the woods yet until all of the media finally gets it as well, but tonight's Danny Coulson interview on FOX indicates a sea-change in perception that knocked me right out of my chair, and I had to run downstairs and tell all of you. It was awesome!
I've often written that the only thing the citizen Militias will ever have in common with the racist CI freaks will probably be a gunfight. We are so diametrically opposed to one another in philosophy that there can be no peace between us -- ever. A man cannot support, uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, and at the same time embrace the racist and anti-Semitic belief systems of Christian Identity and Aryan Nations. There is just no way. Our Constitution was written by real Christian men, and the men and women who make up the citizen Militias of the United States are real Christians down to the very last soul. Those who make up the so-called Christian Identity and Aryan Nations groups are often referred to as Militias in the media, and that is why this ongoing confusion remains to this day, but maybe not for much longer.
Our own Oregon radio talk show host, Lars Larson, has blurted out some very
negative comments regarding the citizen Militias in general, yet he has two very strong Militia groups right in his own backyard that have never committed even the slightest offense. If anything, our efforts to eradicate official corruption have proven our worthiness time and again, and our efforts have also caused the voters to take notice and more carefully consider the candidates.
You may recall we assisted the family of Jeffery Stuart Anderson in filing a lawsuit against Jackson County, Oregon for his wrongful death at the hands of Sheriff's deputies while lodged in the jail. The family settled for 1.8 million dollars. As a result, Sheriff Bob Kennedy elected not to run for another term, while pushing his good-ol'-boy underling to take over. In days gone by, the underling would have been a sure thing. However, it looks like the voters are favoring an outsider over the insider this time, and in large part, it was the Southern Oregon Militia working quietly behind the scenes that caused the voters to think twice. One can only hope this trend continues.
So that is my good news for the day, and I hope this finds all of you happy, healthy and wise.
