WASHINGTON — Nine members of a Michigan-based Christian militia group have been indicted on sedition and weapons charges in connection with an alleged plot to murder law enforcement officers in hopes of setting off an antigovernment uprising.

In court filings unsealed Monday, the Justice Department accused the nine people of planning to kill an unidentified law enforcement officer, then plant improvised explosive devices of a type used by insurgents in Iraq to attack the funeral procession.

Eight of the defendants were arrested over the weekend in raids in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. A ninth remained at large, the Justice Department said. The indictments against them were returned last Tuesday. The defendants were identified as members of Hutaree, described by federal prosecutors as an anti-government extremist organization based in Lenawee County, Mich., and which advocates violence against local, state and federal law enforcement. The group saw local and state police as “foot soldiers” for the federal government, which it viewed as its enemy, along with participants in what they deemed to be a “New World Order,” according to the indictment...

[Webmaster - This whole story keeps getting goofier and goofier. These individuals don't look like they could find their way to the bathroom much less put together some idiotic assassination plot on their own. Again, I'll bet they were provocateured and guided by the Feds (informant or agent) from the start so that could take the fall later on. Then, the Feds try to make the case these "dangerous, crazy Christian militia conspiracy theorists" are lurking around every corner. In a nutshell, the Feds using these defendants (dupes) for two main objectives:

1. Fear-Mongering...terrorize the public into making them accept further loss of liberty and create a perceived need for Federal intervention

2. Demonize ALL of the following: militia members / Christians / "so-called" conspiracy theorists

Doesn't it make you wonder why the Feds haven't pulled down the website (http://www.hutaree.com) of these "crazy-dangerous" militia members yet? All better to scare us with...]

Militia Raids Part Of Government Effort To Provoke Violence, Purge Dissent

...Comments made by a well known former militia leader indicate that the Hutaree were regarded by other militia outfits as radical and reckless “low-hanging fruits”.

Mike Vanderboegh, who has close connections with the militia movement in Michigan and all over the country, was critical of the Hutaree, saying that they “have indicated in the past that, much like John Brown, they WANTED to start a civil war, which is why no responsible militia group in Michigan was willing to ally with them.”

Vanderboegh described the group as “a perfect target” for the feds, adding that the raids could have provoked a nationwide uprising if they had turned violent.

As we highlighted earlier this month, following the highly suspicious Pentagon shooting, recent history proves that domestic terror, far from being a militia plot or an “extremist fringe” threat, is a government specialty.

Just a brief reprisal of the last handful of major terror cases in the United States instantly reminds us that in every single instance the plot was artificially engineered by the federal government and then later seized upon, with the enthusiastic support of the corporate media, as justification for more funding, more power, and more authority to denounce critics of the war on terror and dissent against the state in general...
