We have just received a copy of a 10 page "Briefing Paper, Intelligence

Division" report from a policeman in Louisiana who said it came from

the US Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Agency (ATF) and that it is

ATF's assessment of militias.

 

[NOTE:  While typing this in online, I confirmed, directly with ATF,

that the following report was written by BILL DUNHAM, ATF TACTICAL

INTELLIGENCE BRANCH, WASHINGTON, D.C., TELEPHONE: 202-927-7900.]

 

This ATF paper is largely derived from a report put out by the

Anti-Defamation League of B'Nai B'rith (ADL).  The ADL claims to

protect Jews from anti-semitism, but that is a cover.  What they

actually do is spy on Americans, provide incorrect data to police

agencies, and target people for hate campaigns.  They were the

source of the false information provided to the ATF about the Branch

Davidians "stockpiling illegal machine guns," "abusing children,"

etc.  They provide funding to Cult Awareness Network.  Rick Ross, a

convicted jewel thief and embezzler, is a "deprogrammer" for cult

awareness network and he was the primary adviser used by the ATF

during the Waco siege, even though he has no credentials as a

negotiator or counselor whatsoever.

 

The ADL plants fake racists and anti-semetic people to organize

fanatic groups and stir up trouble, thereby identifying anyone who

might join.  They then claim "there are racists and skinheads

everywhere!"  This gets them federal funding.

 

The truth?  Did you notice there were three major "KKK" rallies

across America and that the media tried and TRIED to whip these

rallies into a racial confrontation in advance, by announcing

repeatedly that "the KKK will be holding a rally in three weeks,"

"two weeks," etc. in advance, on the news.

 

What happened in EVERY city?  30-40 overweight KKK guys showed up

waving flags, and 600-800 OTHER people showed up to protest them.

Obviously, the KKK is not much of a threat in America.  There has

not been a successful "anti-Jewish" rally anywhere in America where

even 30-40 people showed up.  So the ADL has to invent enemies so it

can keep claiming it is protecting Jews from these "dangerous

terrorist groups."

 

The ADL is an unregistered foreign agent whose real purpose is to

destroy the fabric of American government and bring us into a one

world government.  Much of their literature is propaganda, directed

at acting as if anyone who talks about the "New World Order" is

imagining things.

 

The fact is, we have treaties and government documents that all

plainly refer to the "New World Order," and "One World Government"

and a president who is now openly speaking of it.  It isn't fantasy,

and that is precisely why the ADL doesn't want anyone to find out

about it -- they are behind it.

 

Their intent is to destroy the United States.  They only pretend to

be protecting Jewish people from anti-semitism as a cover and to

suck money from Jewish people who are made afraid by their

propaganda literature.  They do not help Jewish people in this

country.

 

The ADL has been indicted in California and Virginia for

their illegal spying activities and they mysteriously were able to

literally buy their way out of a criminal indictment in California

by "donating" to "nonprofit groups."  This is unheard of, to

"settle" a criminal indictment in this manner.

 

I will post the 30 page ADL report as soon as I can get it typed in.

 

Another arm of the ADL is the Southern Poverty Law Center.  It uses

the tried and proven effective tactic of claiming to be an

organization protecting the rights of a minority group.  SPLC claims

to protect blacks against the KKK.  It has now branched out to

identifying tax protestors (apparently recognizing there just aren't

any genuine KKK groups out there or any real interest in KKK

activities to stir up).  The SCLC did win a case years ago against the KKK,

but has not filed a lawsuit in over three years, despite having a

$57 million dollar trust fund.  It is a front group, just like the

ADL.  It's real purpose is not what it tells the public to get

money.  It spies on Americans.

 

Both the ADL and SPLC put out press releases that targetted me, and

attempted to smear my reputation by talking about "anti-semetic

groups" and "kkk groups" and then (without actually claiming I'm

racist or anti-semetic, which I am not), saying, "A rising star in

the movement is Linda Thompson . . . yada yada yada" in a press

release they sent to all law enforcement agencies and the media.  We

were then inundated with calls from affiliate TV stations of the

ADL, primarily NBC network, and several ABC affiliates.

 

Then the ADL put out the full 30 page report to all law enforcement, that

proclaims I am the leader of all the militias in the country and

talks about several groups, which have no affiliation with me

whatsoever, many of which are actually ADL-plants.  The report is

intended to give those planted agents credibility, while attempting

to direct law enforcement efforts at me.

 

We have, on tape, an admission from a man who was being paid by the

ADL to spy on me and put out false stories in the media to target me

for hate campaigns.  His name is Henry Kitchen and he is in

California.  He was the source of stories such as one claiming I ran

for governor on the socialist worker's party ticket in Illinois.

I've never been a socialist, I've never run for governor anywhere,

and I've never even lived in Illinois, ever.  The year he claimed I

did this, I was serving in the U.S. Army, one of the most documented

periods of my life.

 

The ATF has incorporated the majority of the ADL report into their

own report.  They don't even have information on 1/10th of the

militias, and what they do have, they have wrong.

 

If this is an indication of the ATF's intelligence at work, we have

absolutely nothing to worry about.  They are doing a very good job of

screwing it all up all by themselves.  CAVEAT:  It was precisely

this sort of disinformation that led to the attack at Waco and the

needless deaths of over 100 people, including 25 innocent children.

 

The good news is that based upon the information they *do* seem to have, it

is *very* clear that they do *not* have any infiltrators inside our

organization.

 

The majority of the information comes straight from the ADL report.

I'll post that after I post this.  It gives you an indication of how

the ATF doesn't verify anything it gets, but just puts out garbage

from the ADL without checking it for accuracy.

 

The following is the ATF report:

 

=========================================================================

 

NOTICE:  THIS IS *****NOT****** something put out by me or by the

American Justice Federation, it is FROM THE ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND

FIREARMS agency. It was written by BILL DUNHAM, ATF TACTICAL

THE INFORMATION IS PROVIDED FOR YOUR REFERENCE TO DEMONSTRATE HOW

THE ATF RELIES ON BOGUS INFORMATION THAT IT DOES NOT VERIFY,

PROVIDED BY SOURCES SUCH AS THE ADL.  THE ADL REPORT PUT OUT BY THE

ADL FOLLOWS, FROM WHICH YOU CAN READILY SEE WHO THE MAJOR "SOURCE"

FOR THE ATF REPORT WAS.

 

The report is FULL OF INACCURACIES. Virtually NOTHING in it is

correct, so do NOT proceed on the basis of any information contained

herein.  At least three sources listed as "militia leaders" are in

fact, ADL or government plants, not militia leaders, who are

supposed to incite riots and give the militias a bad name. All of

this is propaganda intended to get the police stirred up against

militias. It is provided for your reference.

"ATF Briefing Paper

"Intelligence Division

"October 26, 1994

 

"SUBJECT:  To Provide an Overview of the Militia Movement

           Operating Throughout the United States

 

"Background

 

"The militia movement is a grassroots effort that is similar to the tax

protest and anti-government campaigns of the 1970s and 1980s.  During the

past six months this movement has swept across the country."

 

       [Gee, the last six months.  What a coincidence. -- LT]

 

"A catalyst of the movement was the formation of the Militia of Montana

 

    [THIS IS ONE OF THE ORGANIZATIONS LED BY PLANTS AND THEY DO

    NOTHING BUT CAUSE TROUBLE.  THEY HAVE BEEN DISAVOWED BY ALL

    LEGITIMATE MILITIAS. -- LT]

 

"a.k.a. MOM, organized after the standoff with Randy Weaver in Bonners Ferry,

Idaho.  The Branch Davidian siege in Waco also fueled the spread of the

movement.

 

"Militia organizers cite these incidents, as well as the passage of the Brady

Bill and the Crime control Bill, as the basis for establishing militias --

the last line of defense against Federal law enforcement.  To date militias

have been identified in 20 states.

 

       [There are multiple militias in all 50 states. --LT]

 

"These militias base their legitimacy on the Second Amendment to the

constitution, as cited by them: "A well-regulated militia being necessary to

the security of a free state, the right of people to keep and bear arms shall

not be infringed."

 

     [Note:  That is exactly how the ATF wrote it.  The above is

     inaccurate and is not a quote of the second amendment.  If they

     can't even quote the Constitution correctly, you get the idea of

     how accurate the rest of it is. LT]

 

"Members of militias are extremely paramilitary, anti-ATF, and literal

interpreters of the Constitution."

 

    [Hey, they got this part right! They left out, "excellent shots,

    well equipped, and know a traitor when they see one."  LT]

 

"They subscribe to the belief that the United States, its elected officials,

the judiciary, and all segments of the Federal Government, have gotten away

from the constitution, and this belief is driving this country toward "The

New World Order."

 

"'The New world Order' is a battle cry for the militias and

generally defined as "a foreign power known as the United Nations,

which is actually an oligarchy of the world's super-rich, who have

no allegiance to any one nation and who control the United Nations

from behind the scenes.'  They view the United States as a pawn of

the New World Order, and law enforcement authorities are its agents.

 

"It should be noted that there are militias that are sanctioned by a

state to assist during times of civil defense.  These are not the

type of militias addressed in this document."

 

"The militias included embrace the conspiracy theorists of the 'New

World Order' and are acquiring and training with firearms in order

to protect themselves from police.  These militias can be defined as

follows:

 

"Militias focus on Government as the enemy of the people, and

expound a conspiracy theory attributed to certain 'shadow'

organizations that are planning the overthrow of democratic America

and replace it with the 'New World Order.'"

 

"Major Promoters of the Militia Movement

 

"The National Unorganized Militia

 

"Linda Thomspon (sic), leader of the Unorganized Militia is

considered a major spokesperson advocating the formation of militias

and proponents (sic) of the movement's conpiracy theories.

 

     [I am  not the leader of the Unorganized Militia.  I am the

     Adjutant General of the UMUS, which is a command staff position

     down the pole from the Commander of the UMUS, neither of which

     has any direct command authority over state militias.]

 

"The Unorganized Militia, a.k.a. The American Justice Federation, was

established in early 1993 during the Waco siege."

 

     [This portion is extremely inaccurate.  The unorganized militia

     has been part of the United States since the country's

     inception and played a major role in the American Revolution.

     You may remember reading about "the minutemen" in your 6th

     grade history class -- those were the militia.

 

     The unorganized militia is defined at law, in 10 U.S.C. section

     311.

 

     The unorganized militia is not the American Justice Federation

     by any way, shape or form.

 

     The American Justice Federation is a corporation, formed in

     1991, two years before Waco, under the laws of the state of

     Indiana and is primarily a publishing company. Since this is

     ALL information available from public documents, it is very

     troubling they can't even get this much right.]

 

"Following the Waco incident, Thomspon (sic) produced and disseminated

nationwide, a video presentation titled "Waco, the Big Lie."  The video

argues that there has been a Government conspiracy to cover-up the incidents

in Waco."

 

      [Notice the big "G" in the word "government," above. Sort of

      tells you the mindset of the writer.]

 

"During the summer, Thompson was arrested for obstructing traffic and

possessing firearms during President Clinton's health reform team's arrival

in Indianpaolis, Indiana.

 

       [Wrong again.  I was not arrested for possessing firearms.

       How can one be arrested for something that isn't illegal,

       eh?  I was arrested for "obstructing traffic" when the

       government was unsuccessful in provoking 600 protestors to

       riot.  Additionally, the police who arrested me intended to

       execute me and were caught in the act.  They drove me to a

       back alley and took me out of the paddy-wagon, handcuffed,

       and had a gun pointed at my head, when a patriot appeared who

       had followed the paddy wagon and witnessed the whole thing

       and demanded to know if I was all right.  They then aborted

       the plan.]

 

"She was also identified conducting firearms training in Pike

County, Ohio."

 

        [I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN PIKE COUNTY, OHIO IN MY LIFE AND I

        HAVE NEVER CONDUCTED FIREARMS TRAINING ANYWHERE IN OHIO OR

        WITH PIKE COUNTY OR ANY OTHER OHIO MILITIA, PERIOD. THIS IS

        TOTAL FABRICATION. LT]

 

"In April 1994, Thomspon (sic) sent an 'Ultimatum' to members of

Congress and called for an armed march on Washington, D.C. on

September 19, 1994, to arrest members of Congress.  She later

cancelled this march due to a "CIA conspiracy plot" against her.

 

     [This is inaccurate.  We never intended to have the march.  We

     publicly announced it to get militias to form, and that worked

     very effectively as the ATF has noted, since the militia

     movement has spread rapidly "over the past six months" -- the

     time since our announcement.

 

     I publicly announced what we were doing and that there would be

     no march EARLIER than I originally planned to announce this

     fact, due to the fact that we got wind that covert operatives,

     presumed to be from the CIA were planning to bomb Washington,

     D.C. and blame it on us. You will notice that since then, there

     have been several odd attacks on Washington that are readily

     traceable to covert intelligence sources.  If anyone is into

     loony conspiracy theories, looks like it is the ATF.

     Obviously, we have MUCH better intelligence sources than the

     ATF, too.  LT]

 

"It is believe (sic) that Thomspon (sic) lost credibility within the militia

movement when she cancelled the march."

 

     [Yes, that's right!  I lost ALL credibility!  I'm no longer any

     possible threat to you all whatsoever!!  So why waste a 10

     page report on me, then?]

 

"Militia of Montana (MOM)

 

"The Militia of Montana is a highly organized group that promotes and supports

the formation of county militias in Montana, as well as nationally.

 

     [This is total crap.  The Militia of Montana (MOM, anyway), is

     disorganized and headed by agent provocateurs who work for the

     ADL and perhaps the FBI. They have TWICE tried to set us up,

     and are constantly doing things to make militias look assinine.

     They have allowed felons in their group, too.  They have been

     DISAVOWED by all legitimate militia units.  They are PLANTS

     whose job is to make militias look bad and THAT is EXACTLY why

     they are included in this report.  They put out disinformation

     all the time by fax and they often will attach loony tales to

     genuine information and have patriots chasing their tails.]

 

"The original organizers of MOM are John, David and Randy Trochmann."

 

      [These are the guys Randy Weaver said were informants on him.]

 

"The Trochmanns are known to have ties with the Aryan Nation Church in Hayden

Lake, Idaho."

 

      [Yep -- here's the proof it's planted information.  The feds

      are ALL convinced somehow that Aryan Nations are some REAL big

      threat, when in fact, they're a small bunch of survivalist

      yahoos in the hills of Idaho.  But the ADL PURPOSELY teaches

      police agencies that Aryan Nations are a big threat so that

      the mere mention of Aryan Nations gets a knee-jerk ballistic

      reaction from police and it is guaranteed to label anyone

      "associated" with them -- even by this sort of bogus bullshit

      -- as a racist extremist.  The Aryan Nations are white

      separatists, but they are a small, very isolated group up in

      the hills of Idaho that have never, in over 40 years, attacked

      anyone.  There is also a faction that are inside federal

      prisons, organized by white separatists in prison.  Either

      way, they are a "Big threat."

 

      However, the ADL has learned to use this as great propaganda,

      by just mentioning a known "racist" group and then naming

      other innocent people as if they are somehow connected.

      Worse, most of the time, the "racist" group was started by a

      plant from the ADL!  This is how people are "demonized" as

      targets for police without doing anything whatsoever, other

      than being mentioned in a slanderous report from the ADL!!

 

      Just the mere mention of "Aryan Nations" is why the feds

      worked themselves into such a frenzy at Weaver's cabin -- they

      have been brainwashed to believe Aryan Nations is dangerous,

      'way out of proportion to any threat, if any, they actually

      pose.  ADL gives police training classes and this is the

      information they give them.  It is TOTALLY bogus, but

      apparently the police never bother to check it out, being too

      eager to have a big, bad, mean target.  You know, there really

      aren't very many big, bad mean people in this country, if you

      figure the percentages.  Funny the police don't seem to want

      to consider this -- they'd rather attack and ask questions

      later.  Witness the outcome of the Weaver trial where it was

      revealed that the US Martials intentionally tried to provoke

      the Weavers to fire at them (they didn't), then killed

      Weaver's 14 year old boy, after shooting his dog in front of

      him.  It all started with the ADL claiming anyone associated

      with Aryan Nations was a terrible danger.  Of course, Weaver

      was a white separatist, so obviously, he was REAL dangerous.

      So dangerous he never fired back when US martials killed his

      14 year old boy and blew his wife's head off as she stood

      holding a 10 month old baby in her arms in the doorway of her

      home.]

 

"Additionally, John Trochmann was co-chairperson of a support group

for Randy Weaver.  This support group later became the core of the

present-day Mom.

 

     [Since Weaver himself doesn't trust them, that should be a clue.

     -- LT]

 

"MOM has connections to Bo Gritz, former Populist party presidential

candidate, former Phoenix police officer and leader of the "Police

Against the New Rold Order," and Mark Koernke, a militia advocate

from Michigan and one of the leading spokespersons for the movement,

nationwide."

 

    [They left out "Jack McLamb" before "former Phoenix police

    officer." Gritz is not a former police officer.  He is a known

    FBI informant and has known connections to CIA (documented in

    the "Traitor file" on here. Download Traitor.zip from the AEN

    file area.) THESE PEOPLE ALSO ARE NOT MILITIA LEADERS OR MEMBERS

    AFFILIATED IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM WITH THE UMUS.]

 

"MOM's association with these various radical right wing factions

portrays the organization closer to those expounding white

separatism and racial hatred, than as mainstream "patriots."

 

     [Here's the BEST example of how bogus this report is! There is

     nothing in anything the ATF has written so far to indicate that

     any of the preceding groups, such as Gritz, McLamb, or Koernke,

     are white separatists, or racist. I have never heard any of

     them say anything white separatist or racist, either, even

     though I don't like ANY of them.

 

      The ATF notes that the Trochmanns are associated with Aryan

      Nations and that in itself demonstrates the Trochmanns are

      white separatists, but that says nothing about Gritz, McLamb,

      or Koernke. Without establishing that Gritz, McLamb or Koernke

      are white separatists or racists, how does the fact that ATF

      claims there are "known connections" between them and

      Trochmann provide any support for the claim that these

      associations with Gritz, McLamb and Koernke "portray the

      organization (TROCHMANN'S) closer to those expounding white

      separatism and racial hatred"?  Bogus, bogus, propaganda --

      anyone who doesn't read this carefully won't see how it is

      done.  This is a written form of "sleight of hand."  Mention a

      known racist group, then sprinkle in whatever you want to

      taint, then summarize with a complete mistatement. We need to

      learn how to do this as well as ATF.]

 

"Police Against the New World Order (PATNWO)

 

"Former Phoenix police officer Jack McLamb is the leader of this

organization.  McLamb, who publishes "Operation Vampire 2000" and "Aid and

Abet," is heavily involved in the right wing extremist movement.

 

     [Here we go -- what is the "right wing extremist movement" ?!

     That is a fiction, a stereotype, a catch-all phrase used to

     label and demonize anyone who is a target of the ADL.  This is

     a WELL-KNOWN PROPAGANDA TECHNIQUE that was used by the Nazis in

     referring to Jews to make people hate them.]

 

"Vampire Killer 2000" suggests that U.S. law enforcement agencies are

unknowingly and unwillingly involved with the United States Government in

establishing the "New World Order."  This group actively recruits law

enforcement personnel.

 

"McLamb has traveled to other states and gives speeches before patriot

audiences.  It is strongly believed that Linda Thompson met with members of

PATNWO before cancelling her armed march on Washington, D.C."

 

     [This part is more proof McLamb is a front.  I have never met

     McLamb, ever, nor anyone who works with him, and this is just

     an effort to associate him with me -- either to give him

     credibility or try to establish some "link" between me and

     "racists" on the

     toe-bone-connected-to-the-footbone-connected-to-the-ankle-bone

     theory of spreading bogus information.  They first attempt to

     claim McLamb is racist, by claiming to associate him with

     Trochman, and then associate me with McLamb.  Bogus, wholly

     bogus.  I have denounced McLamb publicly on radio for his

     association with Gritz, who is a known federal operative.  I go

     to great lengths to avoid even being in the same city he is in.]

 

"McLamb is extremely close to Bo Gritz and pays tribute to him in his

publications.  McLamb accompanied Gritz to Ruby Ridge during the Randy Weaver

standoff.  during his 1992 presidential bid as a Populist Party candidate,

Gritz encouraged his supporters to form militias."

 

        [I have continuously denounced Gritz for more than a year;

        further, Gritz does *NOT* encourage forming militias -- he

        wants people to SIGN UP for his "SPIKE" training, where he

        will also teach people to FINGERPRINT EACH OTHER.  DUH. I

        have a tape where he contradicts everything I've said and

        where he says the best thing that could happen would be if

        the U.N. would attack the United States. A transcript is in

        the Traitor.zip file, downloadable here at AEN.  GRITZ and

        5TH SPECIAL FORCES, HIS OLD UNIT, ARE PART OF THE VERY UNITS

        THAT WE ARE WARNING ABOUT.  TF 160 is one such unit!  That

        is why Gritz is out there at all.  That is why Gritz

        attacked my tapes -- I've been exposing them. Notice they

        mention McLamb accompanying Gritz up to Ruby Ridge and they

        DON'T mention Gritz was WIRED for the FBI!  GRITZ WAS THEIR

        BOY.]

 

"Gritz has been conducting S.P.I.K.E. (Specially Prepared

Individuals for Key Events) training, which has been characterized as

paramilitary, and has allegedly included weapons training.  Gritz

has purchased 200 acres of land in central Idaho.  He is selling

lots to 'like-minded' people.

 

"McLamb was to be a speaker during an Americans Against Gun Control (AAGC)

banquet in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.  AAGC was an organization first

identified by ATF at the 1994 Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Classic in Sturgis,

South Dakota.  The group had a booth where they handed out anti-ATF

literature."  

 

"One article related to a scheduled ATF explosives certification course in

Rapid City, South Dakota, in August 1994.  The article called for the protest

and disruption of the meeting."

 

      [Yeah, sounds like deranged crazies, all right -- they were

      going to have a legal PROTEST of ATF having an explosives

      certification course.  After we all saw ATF in action in Waco,

      it shouldn't be any surprise that those boneheads should not

      be trusted with explosives!!  Here the ATF is complaining of

      legal, 1st Amendment protected behavior -- protest -- as if

      that is illegal and somehow warrants police scrutiny.]

 

"Mark Koernke

 

"Koernke is a major spokesperson for the militia cause.  Considered

an extremely professional presenter, he has spoken all across the

United States. He sells his video "America in Peril" at his speaking

engagements and through numerous far right periodicals.  he is

associated with most major militia figures, including Linda

Thompson.

 

     [KOERNKE IS *NOT* ASSOCIATED WITH ME.  HE IS BOGUS.  He claims

     to have been, variously, in the "Air Force intelligence," "Army

     Intelligence," "the 40th Ranger Battalion," (which does NOT

     exist and NEVER HAS) and one cannot be both "special forces"

     and "military intelligence," they are two different fields,

     entirely.  I think since this report is complimentary of him

     ("extremely professional presenter"), exaggerates what he does

     ("has spoken all across the United States") it is intended to

     make him seem legitimate. More propaganda.  Remember, this

     report may have been INTENTIONALLY LEAKED, too.  Koernke gets

     very little coverage or speaking engagements and at his last

     speaking engagement in California, had such a low turn out, he

     had to beg for contributions to pay expenses and then STOLE the

     contributions!!]

 

"Koernke, commonly referred to as "Mark from Michigan," was the individual

who spoke on behalf of the three militia members who were arrested this

summer in Michigan."

     were busted on a "tip off" when Mark WASN'T with them.  Oh,

"STATE LISTING OF MILITIAS

 

"The following is list of militias,"

 

      [Sounds Russian, doesn't it? Make it: "Following is list of

      militias, comrade" and you'll get it.]

 

"known to ATF, by state.  Not all of the militias listed have been identified

as having members who are in violation of laws that fall within ATF's

jurisdictional purview.  This list identifies locations of militias whose

philosoph, if adhered to, could lead to violation of Federal laws."

 

**** [IMPORTANT:  NOTICE THAT PARAGRAPH.  Thus far, they haven't, in

     the ENTIRE REPORT, mentioned ONE DAMNED THING THAT IS ILLEGAL,

     nor ONE DAMNED THING that is within ATF's legal jurisdiction!!]

"ALABAMA

 

"Unorganized Militia Affiliate

 

"Law enforcement has had contact with one individual believed to be an

affiliate of the Unorganized Militia.  the individual had expressed the same

views as the Unorganized Militia."

 

     [Here they are referring to me, since they claim I am the

     leader of the Unorganized militia.  They have never said what

     my views are and I am sure they don't know, but they say "the

     individual had expressed the same views." What views are those?

     Let's say we have the same views, just for the sake of

     argument.  Does having the "same views" make them an

     "affiliate" or could it be there is REALLY a national problem

     and thousands of people have recognized it?

 

     If "having the same views" makes one an "affiliate" of someone

     across the country or around the world, then on this basis, we

     can conclusively say the ATF is AFFILIATED WITH NAZIS BECAUSE

     THEY ARE USING THE EXACT SAME TACTICS AND HAVE THE EXACT SAME

     VIEWS.

 

     P.S. to ATF -- I am rolling on the floor laughing about this one.

     All you can find to mention is ONE guy whose "views are the

     same" but this is part of your "militia" report?! Hahahaha. Love it!

 

     To the several thousand Alabama militia members:  GOOD WORK, GUYS!!]

 

"Arizona

 

"Sovereign Citizens Movement

 

"The Sovereign Citizens Movement, located in Tucson, Arizona, is a

constitutionalist organization promoting separation from the Federal

Government and the formation of independent townships, and

independent militia.  Approximately 25 people attended a September

meeting.

 

      [This is a reference to Gary Hunt, a known ATF plant. Hunt has

      NOTHING to do with any militias in the country and he is NOT

      from Arizona [See the ADL report where Hunt is named].  He

      travels around the country, expenses paid. All genuine

      militias know him for what he is.  The sovereign citizens'

      movement is genuine and was busy a long time before Hunt ever

      showed up and weaselled his way into it, too, and he most

      ASSUREDLY is not a major player.  We have a whole file on

      Hunt's activities in Traitor.zip on our BBS.]

 

"Arkansas

 

"Unorganized Militia Affiliate

 

"Two individuals expressed interest in attending the cancelled armed

march on Washington, D.C.  They were allegedly in possession of a

fully automatic weapon."

 

 

    [(1)  We have no "Arkansas affiliates."  We have no

    "affiliates," period.

 

    (2) This tells me who has been bugging our phones and opening

    our mail. Thanks, ATF.

 

    After the march was cancelled, we had one guy call and complain

    and another wrote and complained about the march being

    cancelled, both from Arkansas. These were the only complaints.

    We did not reply to the complaints.  Thus, ATF could only know

    about them by bugging our phone lines and opening our mail.

 

    (3)  Both of these complaints were from people associated with a

   group that has attacked me on several occasions in literature

   they put out and who are affiliated with the ADL, called "Free

   Spirit" and another one about "Truth" I can't remember.]

 

"California

 

"A large meeting of GOAL (see below) was held in the Bakersfield,

California area, during which Mark Koernke was the guest speaker."

 

    [This is the meeting that Mark Koernke and Stadtmueller stole

    the money from.  In the CIA references I have, there is also a

    Stadtmueller (unusual name) mentioned repeatedly.  The

    California people to whom he was speaking are legitimate

    patriots but they are not "GOAL" members for the most part.]

 

"COLORADO

 

"Guardians of American Liberty (GOAL)

 

"GOAL is an organization, based in Boulder, Colorado, which

incorporates many diverse radical right ideals and places them under

one umbrella organization. These "committees" include FED and IRS;

Legislative Research, bill and Laws, State Monitoring, Federal

Monitoring; Legal; Political Prisoner; Public Servants;

Communications and Public Relations; Self-Reliance and Family;

Education; Sovereignty and Freedom; Militia; and Spritual.  Goal has

been identified in Colorado, California, and Ohio."

 

    [NOTE:  THE ADL REPORT (SEE FOLLOWING) says "GOAL" is headed by

    STU WEBB.  Stu Webb is a total idiot, a lunatic. He puts out a

    lot of disinformation, much of it alleging his former

    father-in-law is behind the mafia and CIA (he had a nasty

    divorce where he called his father-in-law up on the phone and

    threatened him for an hour and will play you a tape of this to

    convince you his father-in-law is in the mafia -- no, it makes

    no sense, since the phone call doesn't prove anything but him

    calling his father-in-law a lot of names). I banned him from the

    meeting I had in Denver. He pestered us for weeks on end and is

    very, very obviously either mentally disturbed, a fed plant, or

    both.

 

    GOAL is not the primary focus group of the patriot assemblies,

    the ADL is just trying to associate Webb with the large number

    of patriot meetings.  Another guy associated with him, Marty

    Nalitz, a local radio host, stole $3,000 cash from me at that

    meeting, too.]

 

"An application for GOAL was found on two members of the American Patriots,

who were arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada, for Federal firearms and explosives

violations."

    implicate Sears?]

 

"FLORIDA

 

"American Citizen Alliance

 

"During the purchase of 50 magazine clips from an FFL in Maitland, Florida,

 

     [Purchasing magazine clips is perfectly legal.]

 

"the suspect made statements concerning the militia to a detective with the

police department.  Among other statemens (sic) he said there was a plan in

place to kill Federal judges, congressmen, and agents.  He also advised that

he had 60 Ruger rifles.  An inquiry into the suspect's background revealed

that he is a convicted felon.

 

       [They don't mention what his prior felony was, nor the time

       frame since his conviction, nor do they mention what state

       this occurred in, but in many states, a person has his rights

       restored upon completing his punishment.  The feds are

       required to observe this restoration of rights by the states.

       Further, the Constitution requires that each state observe

       the laws recognized in the other states, so there is a good

       possibility this guy violated no laws at all.  This was a

       "status" offense, at best.  Obviously, he isn't charged with

       the supposed threats on judges, etc., so it is doubtful he

       made the statements at all.

 

"He was arrested by ATF on October 15, 1994. At the time of his

arrest he was in possession of a Ruger rifle with a silencer. The

suspect has five associates, also members of the American citizen

Alliance, who are defendants in Federal cases as a result of their

role in placing unlawful liens against the properties of Federal

district court judges."

 

       [We have the news article on this and the charges resulted

       because a judge claimed to be "intimidated" when the group

       requested the judge's financial disclosure documents on file

       with the Judicial applications committee -- these documents

       are REQUIRED TO BE PUBLIC RECORD.  That's all it takes to get

       a federal charge, for a judge to claim to be "intimidated"

       when you ask for something to which you are entitled!!  Now,

       ATF makes it sound like the people were the ones deranged,

       not the judge.]

 

"Florida State Militia 2nd regiment

 

"The 2nd regiment of the Florida State Militia is located in Ft.

Pierce, Florida. A spokesman for the group stated that their

membership is made-up of the American Populist Party and the

American Patriots.  They believe in the Constitution and States'

rights.  They oppose the Federal Government's move to a New world

Order and a central police force.

 

       [Gee, don't those guys sound like real desperados?  They

       believe in the Constitution.  Somebody should point out to

       the ATF that BY LAW EVERY ATF AGENT IS SUPPOSED TO SWEAR AN

       OATH TO UPHOLD THAT CONSTITUTION.  What dumbasses.]

 

"He described the membership as "boy scouts with guns."  Information

received indicates members interest in making nitroglycerine.  They

may also be in possession of machineguns.

 

        SO FRIGGIN' WHAT?!!  It is ***NOT*** illegal to own a

        machinegun in this country, and in fact, Supreme Court

        rulings have plainly stated that the Militia, particularly,

        is to have MILITARY-STYLE WEAPONS.

        likely an informant in that group.]

 

"During one meeting, 250 people attended to listen to David

Thibedeux, a Branch davidian survivor, speak about the Waco

incident.  The group claims to have 250,000 members statewide.

 

       [NOTE:  David Thibedeaux was not charged by the government in

       connection with Waco; David Thibedeaux is the ONLY person

       besides children and David Koresh on the video tape made by

       David Koresh, sent out to the government to show the

       "condition of the children" during the siege.  David

       Thibedeaux is one of the federal agents who was inside Mt.

       Carmel and was the REASON the siege lasted 51 days -- the

       feds had to get their own people OUT FIRST.  David Thibedeaux

       is also featured in the tape about Waco that was PAID FOR BY

       THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT and features three other KNOWN FEDERAL

       OPERATIVES (only) as well as a "reporter" that went to

       LAWSCHOOL where I did (so he is probably FBI, who require a

       lawschool degree; he was also the anchor

       for NBC during the Waco siege.  NBC is the ADL's own personal

       mouthpiece station and made the "WACO" show a week

       after the siege).  NBC is the primary station seeking

       interviews as a result of the ADL press release and report,

       too, and they have called here.  They told me they "heard of

       me" through the ADL press release.  The entire paragraph,

       above, is probably intended to give Thibedeaux credibility.

       The people coming to listen to Thibedeaux would not know any

       of this and would believe he was legitimate.]

 

"Florida State Militia recruitment posters have surfaced depicting a

hooded ATF SRT member with the caption "Never Surrender Your

Firearms."  This same picture can be seen in other militias'

literature.

 

       [So?  What's your point?  You don't want to be depicted as

       thugs, you shouldn't go around looking and acting like thugs,

       and if you don't want the caption, "Never surrender your

       firearms," under your thug picture, then you shouldn't be

       trying to steal people's guns.  Very basic concepts here,

militia has allegedly buried caches of firearms, explosives, and

survival supplies in anticipation of their conspiracy beliefs of a

United Nations takeover of the U.S.  This group is associated with

the Church of the Avenger and MOM.

"Idaho

 

"United States Militia Association

 

"According to media accounts, Sam Sherwood, the director of the

United States Militia Association, based in southeast Idaho, speaks

to groups concerning circumventing the Crime Bill by forming their

own local militia units.

 

"Sherwood sells a detailed guide on organizing militias, which also

include copies of laws to present to state legislators and county

commissioners to persuade them to sanction local militias.  He has

allegedly recruited 500 members in 10 chapters in Idaho.

 

    [I don't know this guy, either, but heard from Ambrose Prichard

    with the London Telegraph that Sherwood disagrees with me and

    has denounced me (as a female, actually), but otherwise, I don't

    know much about him.  The Christian Identity Church leader, Pete

    Peters, denounced me based on my being female because women are

    supposed to stay in the home, etc., so this may be the same

    thing Sherwood bases his claims on, which, him being in Idaho

    means he is probably Christian Identity, which is a separatist

    group, but that also means he could be a plant, since most of

    the outspoken racists are, in fact, government plants.]

"Since March 1994, the ATF Detroit Field Division has noted the

escalation of the militia movement in Michigan from a theoretical

group of individuals, who advocate returning to the constitution, to

a full-blown paramilitary organization which is growing with

unprecedented speed.  Militias have been identified in 66 of

Michigan's 85 counties.

spearheaded by the Northern Michigan Militia, 1st Brigade, headed by

Norman Olson, a former career Air Force Officer, minister, and

current Federal Firearms Licensee.

     to bolster registration in the 1st Bde.  There were already

     at least 20 other militias before 1st Bde.]

 

"The militias are considered to be separate and distinct from each

other, yet Olson is the self-appointed liaison among the various

militias in Michigan.  It should be noted that Olson is selling

large quantities of firearms through his business and may be selling

them to militia members.

 

     [If he is a an FFL holder, well DUH, what a surprise, he is

     selling large quantities of firearms.  That is true for EVERY

     firearms dealer in America, thanks to the Nazi laws that have

     passed lately.  BY THE DEFINITION OF MILITIA ON THE FEDERAL

===============================================================

The report ends here.

 

Observations:

 

Notice the report says things like "unconfirmed information

disclosed . . ."

 

This means it is nothing but b.s., unsubstantiated rumor, yet they

are putting it out as "disclosed," which means "discovered" or

"revealed."  They should say, "rumor has it that such and such is

going on."

 

To the militias who are "rumored" but not detailed, you know who you

are, and to those who are not even mentioned:

 

GOOD WORK.

 

For all of those who believed the claims that I'm an "agent

provacateur," notice that the ONLY information about me is what *I*

have put out, personally, or public record (when I was arrested).

 

You'll also notice they only cover a handful of states and most of

that with "rumor" and "based on the arrest of one guy, we figure

thus and such" type nonsense.  Their information is absolutely

dismal, hopelessly wrong, as those in the militias not even

mentioned will especially appreciate.  This report went a long way

to finding out who the infiltrators are, though.  Thanks, ATF.

 

We have no infiltrators here at this office.  We ARE being bugged

and monitored, though.

 

Next door, at the pizza place, there is a guy who is posing as a

delivery boy, who meets with a fed car periodically and carries one

of those red plastic pizza cover bags with him, only he doesn't

carry like a pizza, he carries it like a money bag, down by his

side, and the fed car he meets in the parking lot, opens his trunk

and they stand out there and talk a few minutes.  We figure he is

making tape recordings of our office conversations and that is what

is in the bag.  Just a guess.

 

The fed-posing-as-pizza-boy passed by me and a couple of people

talking out on the sidewalk day before yesterday.  All the real

employees at the pizza place say "Hello" and wave when we see them

-- they all know us -- and this guy CERTAINLY knows me, yet when he

passed by, he wouldn't so much as look at any of us, intentionally

avoiding eye contact.  I opened the door to the pizza place and

yelled in, "Hey, if the fidelity isn't good, you can always put the

microphone over in our office."

 

The guy didn't even act puzzled or look up, he just replied, "So

I've heard."  Pretty much confirms what we thought.  What a bunch of
