re: #392 iceweasel

The posse comitatus is terrifying; the soveriegn citizen movement that Roeder had some connections to is yet another spinoff of them.

You might like this book (I’ve been dying to read it):
In God’s Country: The Patriot Movement and the Pacific Northwest

It gets into all those groups; the author is a journalist based in seattle who has been covering this since the 90’s—i think he’s originally from South Dakota!

Dave Neiwert: His reportage for msnbc.com on domestic terrorism won the National Press Club Award for Distinguished Online Journalism in 2000.
This is his blog: [Link: dneiwert.blogspot.com…]

Lot of info there about all these groups.

And you can read all about radical environmentalism in these tomes…
