100 new militia groups since Obama elected; watchdog alarmed

By David Edwards and Daniel Tencer Monday, November 16th, 2009 -- 10:20 am

Some 100 new militia groups have formed since the election of President Barack Obama, says the Southern Poverty Law Center.

In a re-run of the phenomenon seen when President Bill Clinton took office, gun-rights advocates, libertarians, survivalists and others are forming militias as a symbol of their resistance to what they see as an administration that threatens to restrict their right to bear arms and expand government control over the lives of private citizens.

"The truth is that these groups are popping up like mushrooms after a spring rain," said Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a social-justice group that has been tracking the rise of militias over the past year.

Potok's group put out a report earlier this year raising the alarm about the resurgence of armed militias. Since then, he told CNN, the group has counted about 100 new groups formed across the country.

"There really is this terrible fear mixed with fury about the idea that President Obama is somehow leading a socialistic takeover of America," Potok said.

A CNN news crew that visited the Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia found a group that sees itself as a "deterrent" to any attempts to restrict gun use, and otherwise sees itself as a place to learn survival skills.

"Just the simple fact that we are out here and we are doing this, will give somebody pause, will make them think twice," said militia member Michael Lackomar, who added that he thought Obama "could be dangerous for the nation."

"Anytime we get a Democratic president in the office, people become concerned, including myself, and we get a resurgence out here," said one militia member, identified only as Brian.

But CNN's Jim Acosta points out that gun control "is unrealistic in many ways, because the Obama administration and the Democrats know that it would be political suicide for them to go after gun control measures. Even the attorney general has indicated he won't go back to the assault weapons ban enacted in the Clinton administration."

In its report from August, the Southern Poverty Law Center pointed out that the most recent wave of militia groups differs slightly from the wave seen under President Clinton in one respect.

"A key difference this time is that the federal government — the entity that almost the entire radical right views as its primary enemy — is headed by a black man," the report states. "That, coupled with high levels of non-white immigration and a decline in the percentage of whites overall in America, has helped to racialize the Patriot movement, which in the past was not primarily motivated by race hate."

Unfortunately, the history of militias in this country is hardly among this nation's proudest moments generally speaking.

Actually I don't and for one main reason - it reminds the politicians that the spirit of resistance to tyranny still exists.

I wouldn't care to join one - I was never so happy as when I got handed that "Honorable Discharge" (talk about narrow escapes) and reverted back to freeman status, but then I am proud to have served as well. It was a duty not a pleasure. So, I don't find the military mindset attractive. However, what does it say about the governance of the country when increasing numbers of people feel they have to band together for protection against their own government? It is not an indicator of a healthy state of affairs, and my sympathies lie with the militias and their concerns. They are not all bad, not all racists, they are common folk with concerns and they are concerned to the point of considering the need to take arms in their own defense against their own government.

But hey, it takes fools to allow this all to happen. As long as they were getting bribed and paid it was all good. Now that the gravy train ain't the express anymore, people are noticing.

Better late than never some will argue, but "too late" is too late.

Not sure it's too late, but we are about to find out, eh.

A good summation. I would defend the Sheeple a little bit in that they have been subject now to several generations of intensive Psychiatric/Psychological manipulation through the skools and controlled media. One study I read compared the general education level of current Bachelor's Degrees with the general education level of a High School Graduate in 1947 as being equivalent (I always remember that because it was the year my Mom graduated H.S.). As well much of what they know is false, and much of the current younger generation has been brought down to semi-literacy. One of the problems with the barrage of propaganda and Psychiatric Manipulation is that they, those who do not attend forums such as this, believe the false picture to be a true picture. People who draw conclusions on false data reach false conclusions.

True there is a percentage who have seen and felt they personally benefited and so remained silent, but now it is beginning to hit home that they too are "useless eaters" in the eyes of the self-styled elite. The dumbing down effect through the skools cannot be understated in its impact. Those so afflicted, with functional illiteracy, are blocked from reading and all of the benefits that a broad education brings. Such as being able to read and comprehend higher level texts and see how history repeats and how what we face is not new but simply has mass communications to make it more ever present and thus more effective as a control mechanism. The sheer pervasiveness of the mind control through popular culture, television, newspapers, and magazines has an impact. It creates a false reality which achieves the manipulations Orwell spoke of in 1984.

It is hard to predict which way things will go next, my Crystal Ball is out for maintenance, but there are multiple forces rising against the encroaching sea of tyranny. Whether the dike will hold is not clear at this point.
