Officials see rise in militia groups across U.S.

WASHINGTON – Militia groups with gripes against the government are regrouping across the country and could grow rapidly, according to an organization that tracks such trends.

The stress of a poor economy and a liberal administration led by a black president are among the causes for the recent rise, the report from the Southern Poverty Law Center says. Conspiracy theories about a secret Mexican plan to reclaim the Southwest are also growing amid the public debate about illegal immigration.

Bart McEntire, a special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, told SPLC researchers that this is the most growth he's seen in more than a decade.

"All it's lacking is a spark," McEntire said in the report.

It's reminiscent of what was seen in the 1990s — right-wing militias, people ideologically against paying taxes and so-called "sovereign citizens" are popping up in large numbers, according to the report to be released Wednesday. The SPLC is a nonprofit civil rights group that, among other activities, investigates hate groups.

Last October, someone from the Ohio Militia posted a recruiting video on YouTube, billed as a "wake-up call" for America. It's been viewed more than 60,000 times.

"Things are bad, things are real bad, and it's going to be a lot worse," said the man on the video, who did not give his name. "Our country is in peril."

<< perhaps some of the most accurate abbreviated comments that I've read on the subject matter >>


"Q. What are your thoughts on the health care reform legislation?

A.Washington must wake up to the reality that health care costs are being driven dramatically higher by three largely immutable forces:

(1) the surging number of baby boomers needing expensive care,

(2) the spiraling cost of new medical technologies, and

(3) an out-of-control obesity epidemic, bringing surges in heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

Now, throw into this already-explosive mix health care reform — offering more to a larger population — and all you get is the certainty of a collision."
