Large FBI, Homeland Security Operation Targets Militias in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio
On Saturday night the FBI and Homeland Security conducted what was described as a “major” operation against the Michigan militia.
As of Sunday morning, the operation was not reported by national media, although it was covered by local media in Michigan.
“The FBI was conducting raids Saturday night at multiple locations in southeast Michigan,” WXYZ News in Detroit reported last night. “Action News has learned Homeland Security and the Joint Anti-terrorism Task Force is also involved in a major operation.”
The feds would not tell WXYZ “who they were targeting or where, but the FBI has set up a command center at the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Department in Ann Arbor, where they have brought in two satellite trucks and a radio tower.”
“Several media outlets report that the FBI conducted raids on Saturday night and Sunday morning at several locations in Washtenaw and Lenewee counties. In its Sunday morning broadcast, Channel 7 Action News reports that Homeland Security and the Joint Anti-terrorism Task Force are also involved in the raids, possibly connected to the Michigan Militia. A command center has been set up at the Washtenaw Sheriff’s department,” reported the Ann Arbor Chronicle.
“There is still a lot about this case we don’t know,” reported Action News reporter Kim Craig (see second video below), “and hope to find out later today, but there does seem to be a connection to the Michigan Militia.” The FBI and Homeland Security used “a small army” against a house in Adrian, Michigan.
It appears raids are being conducted in Hammond, Indiana, and Sandusky, Ohio, as well
“Hammond police assisted with an FBI raid Saturday evening in the Indiana city, but federal officials would not release any details,” Chicago Breaking News Center reported.
FBI, Homeland Security, and agents from the Sandusky Police, Erie County Sheriff’s deputies, agents from Toledo Police Bomb Squad and Cleveland Regional Transit Authority’s K9 Unit conducted an operation in Ohio. “Some officers in green uniforms carried large automatic rifles,” the Sandusky Register reports this morning. An FBI spokesman said warrants were sealed in federal court and he could not release any information until after the suspects appear in court Monday.
The Michigan Militia website reports today that the group has not been raided. “We do nothing illegal, ” a headline on the website states. “Both The Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia and the staff of Michiganmilitia.com condemn attacks or threats of any sort directed against our elected representatives. We also condemn those who would use these attacks to further their agenda. If you don’t like your representatives, then recall them or elect someone else, or hell, run for office yourself. We also urge all representatives to obtain and read a copy of The Constitution,” the site explains.
The original Michigan Militia was formed in response to the federal government’s mass murder in Waco, Texas, and the murder of Randy Weaver’s family at Ruby Ridge in Idaho. The Michigan Militia came to national attention in1995 when the corporate media erroneously associated Timothy McVeigh to the group.
Last April, the Department of Homeland Security released a report on “rightwing extremism” that warned of militia violence. The DHS report followed similar reports issued by MIAC and the Virginia Terrorism Threat Assessment Center. The MIAC report claimed supporters of Ron Paul, Chuck Bladwin, and Bob Barr are domestic terrorists.
Addendum
The corporate media has reported on the raids. “The FBI confirmed to Local 4 [in Adrian, Michigan] that there were several law enforcement activities in the Lenawee/Washtenaw County area late Saturday night,” reports MSNBC. “Michigan State Police said the raids are not terror related, but would not comment further.”

Jeff, dude - each time I read one of your posts I notice a negative...shoot em down...attitude. I am neither "gifted" nor "pure" and blessed through grace. I just hope something good and peaceful happens for u and takes away the anger - and if I die and there is nothing so be it...but realy the only verse that matters in the bible to me are the first two words Heb 11:8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.

And I was a Jew and read the Torah and spent 6 years in Hebrew School reading the Torah in Hebrew.
You guys are so self aggrandizing it's sickening. So "I'm so pure" and I'm "so gifted." And "you wouldn't understand" to avoid actual debate. Very typical.

You people see things through twisted eyes.
I was a Christian for 25 years and converted more people then you probably even know right now. I've read the bible, several versions a hundred times over SO I DO UNDERSTAND the fundamental universal truth. That's the point.
That's why I'm an Atheist.

Blatant materialism already happened and people are moving away from it.
I hope all of you 'gifted' people are right. I'd hate to die and find out, well, your dead.

Thanks for your love and concern - Oryzen - totally cool - I am one of the pre-destined and never worry about the next life - thanks and I do hope we all have the next Great Awakening - but I fear that blatant materialism is the next awakening...

Free will is good. Thinking that some being whose existence is wholly unproven bestowed it upon us is decidedly weak.
-
-
ahhhhhhh, the age old argument of Freewill vs Predestination
But he has chosen some of us to have freewill...?
-
-
A being gave us free will but restricts it's use? Why give it?

I could not agree more - Michael!
I do not even have a cell phone - and we are "green" most would say the anti-thesis of green...because we drive two older but nice re-built trucks, plant and harvest, have 40 head a cows, chcikens, goats, horses, I do not call buying a $25,000 Prius being green...I call it a choice...we re-built this ole ranch house by hand, the chicken coop by hand, fences, arenas, everything...including our food storage...so yep, I say I need that new Ball Jar...I need more rice, beans and bullets! jk!
