But nearly four years later, if there were any questions still remaining about what the Oath Keepers really are, an event the group has planned for this weekend should lay them all to rest. Starting on Friday at the Farragut State Park outside Coeur dAlene, Idaho, the Oath Keepers are hosting the Northwest Patriots and Self Reliance Rally. The lineup of participating allies is revealing.
There will be a workshop on colloidal silver a substance that many on the radical right believe is a cure for all kinds of ailments that the government has kept secret from the people. In fact, the substance has no known medical use and, if used with the frequency that some radicals do, turns human skin blue.
There will be seminars on Agenda 21, a United Nations sustainability plan that has no legal enforcement mechanisms or requirements, but that the radical right is convinced is a secret plot to impose socialism on the United States. There will be representatives from the John Birch Society a primary proponent of the Agenda 21 conspiracy theory, the idea that fluoridation of water is a Communist plot, and the charge that President Dwight D. Eisenhower was a Communist agent. Also scheduled to attend are Sheriff Richard Mack, a long-time darling of the antigovernment Patriot movement who has been encouraging county sheriffs to resist federal gun laws, and Chuck Baldwin, a far-right pastor and constitutionalist who moved to Montana several years ago to battle the incursions of the federal government.
Also featured will be training sessions on hand-to hand combat, nighttime military patrols, survival firearms, and preparation of bug-out bags all of these an obvious reflection of the radical rights obsessive fear that the government is about to move against the American people, seizing their guns and ending liberty.

It is good to know just what is being to referred to there, otherwise, people are left to fill that in and that's not a good idea. I prefer more detail and accuracy in reporting. They claim 30,000 members, but that number is suspect.
The organization claims on its website that full membership is open to "currently serving military, reserves, National Guard, police, fire-fighters, other first responders (i.e. State Guard, Sheriff Posse/Auxiliary, Search & Rescue, EMT, other medical 1st responders, etc.) AND veterans/former members of those services," and that others who support the organization's mission can become associate members.[9] The organization claims to have up to 30,000 members, though this figure has been questioned by some critics.[26]

(12,712 posts)Minneapolis is bracing for a chaotic scene, with President Donald Trump set to speak Thursday in the heart of the city that overwhelmingly rejected him in 2016.
Two dozen disparate groups plan to protest the visit, from civil rights advocates to labor unions and self-identifying antifa or anti-capitalists. Some estimate more than 10,000 people will flood downtown to oppose the presidents visit.
They will be confronted by counterdemonstrators supporting the president, some of whom follow him across the country such as Bikers for Trump, along with the Minnesota-based Three Percenters militia. Thats in addition to the Trump fans who plan to jam the 19,000-seat Target Center.
