These are just allegations made probably out of nowhere. Is there any militia site somewhere that confirms or denies what happened in Michigan? Why do you never quote sources? Are you disinfo?
You cant mobilize if half of them is probably dead, in addition, there is now a well-equipped army supported by helicopters and warplanes in Michigan. It would be suicidal.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2768931 If this had Really happened, then the Militia's from all 50 States would have gone on Alert or Mobilized.
Many Groups have overlapping contacts and communications networks set up for just such a incident.
When the Hutaree militia were arrested, the news went out and most Militia's went to "Alert" status and it is reported that some even started to Mobilize.
Some Groups also reported it on their websites, so that All the world would know about it.
It was reported that when Militia leader, JT Ready died suddenly, that the Government reached out to the various Militia's to inform them that, "it was not a Mexican Cartel Hit and not to retaliate", even before the News Media was allowed to release the story.
So I believe that overall our government has a healthy respect,(and hatred) of the Militia's power and influence.
Combine this with the current attitude, expressed by the various States towards Government interference in their affairs, and you have the makings of a full scale Rebellion.
All you would need is a spark like this, to set it off.
If our government was stupid enough to do an isolated event like this and not do a full scale War on all the Militia's, it would then turn very quickly into a nasty Civil War. (Note that: a wide spread attack on all Militia's would also create a nasty Civil War.)
In the light of the current political trends, I do not believe our Government is so stupid, as to start a War with its own citizens. Especially a War that it would end up loosing in the long run.
