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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
