SPLC Calls for Militia Crackdown

5 March, 2013

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is calling for a federal crackdown on “conspiracy-minded antigovernment Patriot groups.” In a statement released today to coincide with the publication of the Spring issue of the SPLC newsletter Investigative Report, the Center warned of “an 813-percent rise since 2008″ of “conspiracy-minded antigovernment Patriot groups” and requested Attorney-General Eric Holder form an “interagency task force to assess the adequacy of federal resources devoted to the threat.”

“As in the period before the Oklahoma City bombing, we now are seeing ominous threats from those who believe that the government is poised to take their guns,” SPLC President Richard Cohen was quoted in the press release. Cohen is a member of the Department of Homeland Security’s Countering Violent Extremism Working Group.

A Google Maps map created by the SPLC to accompany their press release displays location and brand data for the 1,360 organizations the Center says exist. A sampling of locations:

  • ricin

    Soldiers of the Nevada National Guard 92nd Civil Support Team take material samples during a 2005 ricin attack simulation in Sparks, Nevada.

    The San Francisco Bay area hosts seven of what the SPLC termed “conspiracy-minded antigovernment Patriot groups,” including six chapters of the Nation of Islam and one chapter of the Christian Guardians,

  • Salt Lake City, Utah had two such groups, the SPLC claimed: the Creativity Alliance and Crusaders for Yahweh,
  • Hawai’i was the only state to have no  “conspiracy-minded antigovernment Patriot groups,” according to the SPLC map.

The SPLC says that “conspiracy-minded antigovernment Patriot groups” have plotted to spread ricin powder, attack federal government facilities, and murder judges.

Are "conspiracy-minded antigovernment Patriot groups" a threat to U.S. national security?

    Beware of those saying we are a threat. Beware of those seeking to rob more of our rights by force. Beware of this government staging more false flag terror attacks like Oklahoma City and 9/11. We know who the real threat is. Government has killed more people than any other cause all throughout history. It’s called democide. Government kills.

      “democide” … Just out of curiosity, did you know that word before it was used in Alex Jones’ latest YouTube video? *yawn*

      They will stage something, and blame it on a ‘white’ militia…we’re all in deep trouble in this country. It’s hideous.

        Take a chill pill. This is a prudent assessment of groups that may be prone to violence. If you think that the Creativity Alliance and National Black Foot Soldier Network (see their website: http://nationalblackfootsoldiernetwork.blogspot.com/) are being unfairly persecuted by inclusion on this list, you may be part of the problem.

    Obama is the only one giving money to al-Qaeda terrorists, F-16s and tanks to our enemies in the Muslim Brotherhood, and murdering American citizens with a stroke of his pen. Who’s the friggen traitor again?

      When government fears the people, you have LIBERTY. When people fear the government, you have TYRANNY. The biggest domestic terrorist is the government. You are more likely to be hit by lightning, than you are to be a victim of a terrorist attack. While the TSA fondles your children at airports, any terrorist can walk across the Arizona border with a nuclear device.

        cool story, bro

    DHS just bought a lot of bullets and tanks, and is now speaking through puppet group SPLC? With what extra authority does a tank bring that the organization did not have before, except the threat of destruction? DHS is a violent threat from within, with its own militia, hiding behind SLPC articles. Looks like a conspiracy to me. They should censor themselves.

    SPLC.

    Hey that’s that hate group that calls others haters.

    La Raza wasn’t a hate group and the racists MEXICAN cartels weren’t racist.

    SPLC.

    “Special people”
    Progressives acting like they are helping.
    Lacking any signifigant insight.
    Can’t control their own bias.

    I definitely believe in wariness towards a Government capable of running illegal wars based upon packs of lies, smuggling heroin into America during the Vietnam war, in military body bags, suppressing dissent in various criminal ways, and which exists only to benefit rich corporations. But in terms of resistance groups, I’d still like to see alternatives to those bearing posters of Adolf Hitler, those claiming inspiration from shady ‘prophets’, and of course, any group being led by a self-proclaimed Messiah who would just as soon bugger a little boy or girl than to bring about a Constitutional Government benefiting hard-working American citizens.

  • Pablo

    Yes I think that Conspiracy minded groups can and will be a threat to the government NOT TO THE THE PEOPLE! I am proud to be someone of that mind aswell!!!

    They really need to start bombing these kike propaganda places. The evil, Satanic Jews are the enemies of everyone on the planet!

    SPLC are all IDIOTS, they should march together with Westboro Baptist Church. Rediculous! If you would put as much effort into OUR RIGHTS, OUR HOMELESS, OUR CHILDREN, and on and on the world would be a much better place.

    • Zebulon

      it’s spelled “ridiculous”

  • donewiththis

    its about time we stand up as a nation and say enough is enough. Im sick of this ” two party system,” when its really just two wings of the same vulture. We are many who can stand against a few. If we are all on the same page, then we can we make this a new chapter in history.We are brothers and sisters in arms, not terrorists.

  • Johnny Appleseed

  • mark

    Emperor Obongo and his sycophants in the media are a far far greater threat to America.

    Bathhouse Barry snorts a few lines , picks some targets from his kill list. drones hit wrong target. ooops. Reggie Love snuggles up.

    the SLPC’s data is really wrong on a lot of things. i don’t know how they can be so off.
    i think they are nothing more than a spook front. they are not listing truly dangerous
    groups, but rather, groups they do not like. there is a huge difference.
