Preview: ... o there you have it. It cannot be stated any clearer. The Indiana Militia is not racist, not 'anti-government', and we certainly are not extreme. We are an organization of, by, and for the Constitutions of the United States and of Indiana. This is the law of the land, so we are not breaking the law, but rather upholding it! Patriots are not revolutionaries trying to overthrow the government. Patriots are counter-revolutionaries trying to prevent the government from overthrowing the Constitution!<br><br><br>Could it be that the reason why the establishment press (which by its own admission is a socialist clique), groups like the ADL and SPLC, and other United Nations NGO's (Non-Governmental Organizations) all defame and disparage the militia movement because we are doing something they don't like? You bet your britches! For years now the militia movement has succeeded in educating and awakening Americans to the fact that personal possession and use of firearms acts as a check against the criminal element in our communities as well as a hedge against tyranny in government. In particular, the patriot movement has resurrected the American people's awareness that freedom sometimes requires the use of lawful force in order to be preserved, whether it be from a common thug on the street or a soldier who has been ordered to confiscate arms and ammunition (as it was in Lexington & Concord, on April 19th, 1776).<br><br><br>Yet, in spite of many constitutional militias' public and demonstrated commitment to freedom and Liberty for Americans of all races, gender, religion, and ethnic background, the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center have ignored the facts and worked diligently to disparage the rights of patriotic Americans. Yet, in a recent news page alert, the SPLC referred to us as "the largely non-racist Patriot world"... [http://www.splcenter.org/cgi-bin/goframe.pl?dirname=/whatsnew&pagename=index.html] an amazing admission!! So are we now to believe them, now that they talk out of both sides of their mouths??<br><br>In 1999 the Federal Bureau of Investigation produced its Megiddo report, a thinly disguised ADL boilerplate implicating a wide cross-section of Americans dedicated to Christianity, patriotism, and American national sovereignty, and mentioning them alongside racists, klansmen and neo-nazis. This report, and the ADL's shorter version entitled Y2Kparanoia, alleged that "extreme" Christians, patriots, militias, and others would suddenly start committing acts of terrorism at the stroke of midnight of the new millennium when the lights were to go out. Of course, in the lexicon of the rabid liberal (socialist), the word "extremist" refers to anyone who holds beliefs anywhere to the political 'right' of their beliefs. Well, nothing happened. Y2K didn't happen, and neither did Megiddo. Suddenly the FBI and the ADL were very quiet about their failed new year's prophecy, as if they never issued a proclamation, hoping that their failed prediction would disappear the same way as Jeane Dixon's astrology predictions do after every new year.<br><br><br>When you point a finger at someone, it is easy to forget that in doing so you usually have three other fingers on the same hand pointing back at yourself... try it sometime. The ADL, SPLC, and FBI forgot this simple analogy when they started calling patriots and militias "Conspiracy Theorists" and "extremists"... When patriots refer to a "New World Order", we are quoting HG Wells, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Hitler, Mikhail Gorbachev, David Rockefeller, and many others IN THEIR OWN WORDS. That is not conspiracy theory, that's conspiracy fact. When the ADL, SPLC, and FBI talk about patriots you can be assured that it IS a "conspiracy theory"!!!<br><br><br>All of these reports have similar characteristics that "fingerprint" their pedigree. While these reports are quick to label patriots with pejorative labels, at no time do they actually come out and say, "Th ...
