Government watches the rise of well-armed American militias (VIDEO)

I just watched the VICE documentary on militias & like with everything else in HBO my only complaint is it was way too short. I recommend watching it if possible but I certainly learned a lot more about them in that 10 or 15 minutes.

I was trying to find something quick because there is no HBO video & Guns.com was the easiest to find source that discussed the documentary but didn't notice initially how far off the rails they went at "Independent of the VICE interview" so I just went to HBO which has a promo of it

Right wing radio supports a lot of these groups, in the specific one was a "3-Percenter" in reference to 3% of the population that took up arms against the British. The radio host said we learned voting Republican isn't enough and he explains there was trickery & deception used to pass ObamaCare so two things. Coming for the guns & Obamacare used as tyrannical oppression that they are militarily training & organization to prevent. The 3-Percenter said "Doesn't notice it is a strange concidence that all the illegals are put into red states?" OK, obviously a far out there conspiracy but I wanted to say Arizona & Texas are right there. New Mexico's border with Mexico is very tiny and I'm sure California has there fair share of unauthorized immigrants.

There was the Cliven Bundy ranch which I learned more about but the whole context of cattle grazing struck me as incredibly silly but there was an armed standoff that encouraged more to become radicalized & show up at the armed standoff, more & more people showed up at the armed standoff so when eventually the "federal government" side walked away that was a huge propaganda victory for the movement further radicalizing others. A couple Bundy supporters killed a couple of police officers when they were back in Nevada. A Florida police officer killed for political reasons. An IRS building was bombed.

The scariest thing about it all is how much nonsense is driving this. Basically collectively they argue Obama cooked up some tyrannical oppression scheme which starts with coming for the guns, I really haven't seen much of that. I remember how happy a Republican Senator seemed to be when he asked Holder in his confirmation hearing if he'd abide by the DC handgun Supreme Court decision where Holder replied there isn't anything he would or legitimately could do anything in how it relates abiding by to the decision. I remember that, not much anything else really except for bringing up guns after Denver, Sandy Hook, etc.

The next one he is allowing all these migrants to come in which helps to bring on this impression I'm not sure how but they seem to be going with the take our jobs than they become voters but the thing that is most baffling part of it all is the support the party much more likely to sneak tyranny on us, they don't realize they are function as useful idiots for sneaking tyranny on the people. Oh yeah, the "Don't Tread on Me Flag" was mounted where the Nevada police officers were killed.

Strangely, ISIS is a big part of their propaganda in that the government won't stop or we can't count on them to stop ISIS from coming inside so there are border militias out there doing the job the government is unwilling to do & feel very bad for future victims of unregulated border patrol. What was odd about it is they reminded me so much of ISIS in propaganda & people becoming radicalized because of it. There is so much logic I want to bring to these people but I already know they are such true believers.

The guy in charge of security of the Bundy ranch -- wow -- I'd be afraid of ending up in a black site over a fraction of what they do, but they are so willing to do it over BS conspiracy propaganda & the Republican party is out there helping the people stop the government.... kool-aid overdose.
