Georgia Militia Terrorists Fit DHS Bulletin Profile Perfectly
September 03, 2012 11:00 AM
By David Neiwert

It's emblematic of just how cowed our federal authorities have been by the right-wing blowback against calling right-wing domestic terrorists what they actually are that the prosecutors in Georgia who recently charged a group of far-right militiamen with plotting carry out a series of attacks in Washington state and to assassinate President Obama took to calling them, in their press announcements, "anarchists" -- which meant, of course, that the media promptly followed suit...
In every other regard, however, these men were indisputably classic right-wing extremists:
-- One of the leaders of the plot, Joseph Aguigui, was a page at the Republican National Convention in 2008.
-- All of the plotters were members of the military and espoused a far-right philosophy, including targeting President Obama for assassination. "I did think that the government needed to change, and I thought that we were the people to be able to change it," one of the plotters told the judge in pleading guilty.
-- The targets of their terrorist acts were generally "liberal" government entities -- poisoning the Washington apple crop, for instance, likely targeted the liberal Seattle consumer market, the main consumers of those crops -- although no one can quite figure out why they targeted Savannah's Forsyth Park...
A lot more is at the link it is why I conclude nothing can be done wholesale, but only incrementally. DHS was cowed by right wing media for their report, which has proved to be accurate in 2009 and is cited at the link and it says we have been living with the results ever since then. This guy is part of that, and due to the common notions of the First Amendment and the belief system of sixty million or more far right, anti-government voters, will go free.:
