Experts who track extremists say the loosely organized groups can serve as a gateway to radicalization — and in extreme cases, that can lead to planned acts of domestic terrorism such as those described in the Michigan plot. Some of these groups deny being anti-government extremists. On the Three Percenters website, the organization states: “We are NOT a militia.” But a consistent thread among such groups is the idea that people should be prepared for an armed struggle against the government. |

I am so sick of these bed-wetters characterizing the 3%'ers and Oath Keepers as 'extremists' and 'radicals.'
They are nothing of the kind. the 3%'ers are not anti-government, they are anti-renegade-government. Same for the Oath Keepers. The latter are, in fact, active and retired military and law enforcement, who take their oath to the Constitution literally. It isn't window-dressing, it's the real deal.
Radical? Not anymore than those 'radicals' who bequeathed us, through sacrificed blood and treasure, the freest, most magnificent country in global history.
Calling them 'radical' is insulting, and not worthy of respect. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
