"ADL Special Report: The Militia Movement in America." A 1995 national survey by the ADL offers disturbing evidence that the militia movement has continued to grow. The ADL survey also found that many hard-core militiamen believe that the United States Government itself conducted the Oklahoma City bombing to create an excuse for further depriving citizens of their constitutional rights. A continuing flow of information from ADL Regional offices around the country indicates militias are operating in at least 40 states, with membership reaching some 15,000, and that these numbers could rise still higher. The following is a 40-state summary of known militia activity. ADL_mil (36 kb) [Thanks to AF]

That info used to be available at http://www.pafb.af.mil/deomi/DEOMI.HTM (the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute), under the "Special Interest Groups" heading, but access was restricted to MilNet on Friday when I pointed out, somewhat sarcastically, that they were violating the ADL's copyrights. Geez, they *REALLY* don't want people accessing that server; not only is it firewalled now, but they removed www.pafb.af.mil from the public DNS (its IP address is 131.25.131.53). I guess the Air Force can't take a joke (gee, I wonder why). Anyway, if you're interested in a bunch of very interesting reports on right-wing terrorist groups in the US, most of them dated August 1993, I just might be able to put you in touch with someone who might have those files in his or her N*tscape cache directory. My friend Cecelia points out that the ADL made a few silly mistakes, though, like getting Neo-Nazi leader William Pierce's birthdate wrong (Pierce is the wacko who wrote The Turner Diaries, which inspired a tring of murders/bank robberies by The Order and, more recently, Timothy McVeigh). The general thrust of DEOMI seems to be that people in non-combat posts in the military have every right to be involved with these jokers in their off hours. There are several .mil addresses on the openly Neo-Nazi Stormfront list -- and they're not all plants. In general, they'll only investigate you if your paranoid fantasies about the Zionist Occupational Government prompt you to get up in a tower and start shooting people. Which has, of course, happened, so I have no problem whatsoever with the USAF (or anyone else) talking to the ADL, as long as rights are respected. -rich

Well, yes. However... The strongman of ADL, Abe Foxman has a salary in six figures. People in the organization are doing good business on the "militia" scare.

This is true. Someone posted a general indictment of the pressure-group mentality a few days ago. I agree with most of what the ADL does, but I don't like it when *anyone* "exaggerates" like that. I've criticized the ADL, and I've criticized the Nazis and black-helicopter wackos who also lie and "exaggerate" to get financial and moral support. As Declan found out, I tend to be harshest on friends, because I consider them most worth saving. I've never aspired to be anything but an independent loudmouth, and a FUCKING STATIST, of course. -rich Institute for Ernst Zundel Revisionism http://www.c2.org/~rich/Press/Swedish/
