An obvious political ploy to steal GOP thunder from their convention, and portray Obama as a legitimate American President with an assassination plot.
Well, the American people just won't stand for that.
So wait - are they charged with plotting to kill Obama, or as part of their ongoing murder charge, did they find evidence about them talking about killing Obama?
As I understand it, there's no shortage of rightwing zenophobic assholes who like to talk a big game about RAHOWA or whatever nonsense of the day. Trouble is they rarely do anything to act on it.
Are these dudes active duty?
The article isn't clear on this.
And taking over Fort Stewart?
Taking control of the AHA (ammo holding area) seems like could work only on paper.
The AHA is where Pvt Dumb goes to pick up ammo to take it to the range and shoot, but it is NOT where all the ammo on base is located, just where the ammo planned to be used in training during the next 30 days is holded.
Yes, American bases are very vulnerable because for safety issues the units have weapons, but no ammo. The ammo is kept separated from the weapons, which means if somebody were to attack my entire Brigade right now here in Fort Campbell, we would have nothing to shoot back with.
However, the MPs (military police) do have their own ammo, and they have not just M9 Pistols, like most PVTs think, but M4 and M249s as well. When the alarm goes off, those wanna-be terrorist would have to deal with a company of MPs, and an hour later or so with the entire fucking base.
I'll have to check the UCMJ, but I think these dudes are dead. This is fucking treason.
Yes, how do we know all this is real?
Nobody else is covering this.

They aren't right-wingers. Apparantly, they are, believe it or not, anarchists. I mean, wtf, this isn't 1922 or 1936.
Jacob was an anarchist. He might be in on the plot.

He does seem to know a lot about it.

Not that you didn't prove your point - but this isn't a good source. It clearly states on that page that the article has not been vetted so as to be reporting on cnn.com.

Maybe they are anarcho-capitalists. That would explain why one was a page at the GOP convention. Or maybe they don't understand Anarchism.
Sounds about as bright as the Cleveland bridge bombers.

Sounds too punky.

Are "zenophobes" people afraid of the Zeno's paradox? :hmm:
