U.S. soldiers formed militia to assassinate Obama, overthrow the government

[KingOrfeo]

No, really.

A group of American soldiers formed an armed militia and planned to kill President Obama and overthrow the US government, a court in Georgia has heard.

The alleged plot emerged during a murder case against four members of the Forever Enduring Always Ready (FEAR) gang on Tuesday.

Prosecutors say the men spent $87,000 (£56,000) on weapons to launch attacks against targets including vehicles belonging the Department of Homeland Security employees and a dam.

They were also accused said to be planning to take over the Fort Stewart military base near to the court in Georgia.

According to the Associated Press, prosecutor Isabel Pauley told the judge: "This domestic terrorist organisation did not simply plan and talk.

"Evidence shows the group possessed the knowledge, means and motive to carry out their plans."

“All members of the group were on active-duty or were former members of the military,” Pauley said.

Isaac Aguigui, Anthony Peden, Christopher Salmon and Michael Burnett are accused of murdering former soldier 19-year-old Michael Roark his 17-year-old girlfriend Tiffany York.

The defendants are accused of killing Roark and York after the pair learned of their hopes to overthrow the government.

The Washington Post reports that Aguigui funded his militia using $500,000 (£315,000) in insurance money he got following death of his pregnant wife a year ago.

And more:

Pauley said Aguigui funded the militia using $500,000 in insurance and benefit payments from the death of his pregnant wife a year ago. Aguigui was not charged in his wife’s death, but Pauley told the judge her death was “highly suspicious.”

She said Aguigui used the money to buy $87,000 worth of semiautomatic assault rifles, other guns and bomb components that were recovered from the accused soldiers’ homes and from a storage locker. He also used the insurance payments to buy land for his militia group in Washington state, Pauley said.

In a videotaped interview with military investigators, Pauley said, Aguigui called himself “the nicest cold-blooded murderer you will ever meet.” He used the Army to recruit militia members, who wore distinctive tattoos that resemble an anarchy symbol, she said. Prosecutors say they have no idea how many members belong to the group.

“All members of the group were on active-duty or were former members of the military,” Pauley said. “He targeted soldiers who were in trouble or disillusioned.”

The prosecutor said the militia group had big plans. It plotted to take over Fort Stewart by seizing its ammunition control point and talked of bombing the Forsyth Park fountain in nearby Savannah, she said. In Washington state, she added, the group plotted to bomb a dam and poison the state’s apple crop. Ultimately, prosecutors said, the militia’s goal was to overthrow the government and assassinate the president.

Fort Stewart spokesman Kevin Larson said the Army has dropped its own charges against the four soldiers in the slayings of Roark and York. The Military authorities filed their charges in March but never acted on them. Fort Stewart officials Monday refused to identify the units the accused soldiers served in and their jobs within those units.

“Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield does not have a gang or militia problem,” Larson said in a prepared statement, though he said Army investigators still have an open investigation in the case.

"There is no cannibalism or necrophilia at all in the Royal Navy. And when I say none at all, I do mean that there is a certain amount, more than we are prepared to admit . . ."

The politics of these plotters are not entirely clear. Many media sources are calling them "anarchists," which implicitly associates them with the guys who show up at WTO conferences and smash windows; but somehow I doubt they have much in common with those. One says their aim was "to give the government back to the people," whatever that means in this context. To me, they call to mind our Liticons who have been screaming intermittently for the past four years that the Army is our liberty's last line of defense against Obama, etc., and would sooner or later Do Something.

Their politics = crazy.

C'mon, the tip off was in their organization being called FEAR.

SAT question:

These guys are to Politics in the same way that...

1. Guy shooting up a Batman premier is to theater critic.
2. Guy getting Jodie Foster's attention via assassination is to speed dating.
3. Guy shooting John Lennon is to music critic.
4. All of the above.

The thing about crazy people is that they are crazy insane. Trying to assign a motive is a waste of time.

 

[hogjack]

There are many militias out there and have been for decades.
And US Presidents are continuously under threats from whackjobs, weirdos and the simply insane.

For the most part militias are well-infultrated and under control.
For the most part the whackjobs, weirdos and insane are monitored and neutralized.

I don't think so.

Isaac Aguigui, Anthony Peden, Christopher Salmon and Michael Burnett are accused of murdering former soldier 19-year-old Michael Roark his 17-year-old girlfriend Tiffany York.

The defendants are accused of killing Roark and York after the pair learned of their hopes to overthrow the government.

That ain't gonna just blow over; there are real dead bodies in this story.

There's just part of a crazy person's brain that sees an authority figure or celebrity and thinks if they can eat his/her brains or kill him/her or have sex with him/her, they absorb their power.

Crazy is to sponge as...

You're right, it won't blow over, but there also isn't a real cure for crazy at our disposal.

But this is new and alarming, because it's a conspiracy within the Army. Not at a high level involving generals, just a few nutjob soldiers, but still a disturbing development.

Soldiers are immune to crazy? Have you read any history?

And the Army is immune from nutjobs because? Fragging the LT. is nothing new.

that's the downside of a volunteer army. some people join out of a sense of duty or other good reasons, but others join because they really just want to shoot some people.

I think you are right. Ever been on a job interview? (and I know you have) What is the correct answer vs how you really feel.

It means we're a few minutes away from a "sheeple" post.

I guess that means vettedouche was arrested.

True to help with recurrent crazy. Nothing we've got so far really predicts and prevents the initial outbreak.
