Alaska “Militiamen” Convicted in Conspiracy to Murder Officials

Posted on 31 August 2012 by Emperor

If these “militiamen” were Muslims this would be called terrorism.

What if they were Muslim? (h/t: CriticalDragon)

Alaska Militiamen Convicted in Conspiracy to Murder Officials

(SPLC)

Rejecting Schaeffer Cox’s claim that he was merely exercising freedom of speech when he spoke of killing a judge and law enforcement officials, a federal jury this summer convicted the boyish Alaska militia leader of heading a murderous conspiracy against the government.

Also found guilty on June 18 of conspiracy to commit murder was Lonnie Vernon, a member of Cox’s group, the Alaska Peacemakers Militia. The jury could not reach a unanimous verdict on that same charge against a third defendant, Coleman Barney. But Barney, 38, of North Pole, along with Cox, 28, of Fairbanks, and Vernon, 56, of Salcha, was found guilty of a host of weapons charges, including conspiracy to possess unregistered silencers and destructive devices.

The convictions cap an FBI investigation that began in August 2009 and culminated with the suspects’ arrest in March 2011, after they began taking concrete steps to carry out a wild-eyed plot to kill, kidnap, and terrorize their perceived enemies in the government.

Described in court documents as “extremely paranoid and narcissistic,” Cox was once something of a rising star in Alaska politics. In 2008, he received 37% of the vote in a Republican primary bid to upset a GOP incumbent in a race for the state House of Representatives.

But he soon drifted away from the mainstream, instead embracing militant antigovernment views. In 2009, he was listed as a delegate to the We the People Continental Congress, which brought together antigovernment “Patriot” leaders, conspiracy theorists, tax protesters and other radical-right leaders. As an alternative to the established system he so reviled, Cox also organized a pseudo-legal “common-law court,” which met in the back room of a local Denny’s.

    Technically speaking, we all know that the government and media’s next muslims are the militiamen.

    The foolish islamophobes are leading the people up against the muslims, when the biggest threat is an west styled on steroid driven Stalinism/Maoism like that out of Hunger Games, or The Running Man, or Judge Dredd.

    @eslaporte, what is this security threat? Muslims convicted in conspiracy to Murder officials like that of charges placed against Abu Taubah? Well of course we have an entire Guantanamo Bay to fill with so called militiamen.

    One of the things that many Western security apparatchiks don’t seem to about the terrorist threat from the radical right is that police and government are the first targets — and the first victims.

    Unlike accusations aimed at phantom “jihadists” in almost non-existent “Islamist terrorist networks” — the radical, “christian,” white “counter-jihadist” – militia nuts hate the police, government and the military too. They see such officials as a “threat to their freedom” and a “threat to our nation.” This is especially true when elected officials are from the political Left – as in Norway.

    It is for these reasons why Breivik first attacked Norwegian government buildings in Oslo with a car bomb. This also shows that this “christian,” anti-government, militia ilk is OPPOSED to Western democratic values NOT defenders of Western democratic values. These people who want to take religious freedom away from Muslims, take freedoms away from the political Left, criminalize the speech of others they disagree with. When Breivik said that he thought that the Norwegian court was not “legitimate because it supported multiculturalism” – he was actually saying “I don’t support the rule of law and equality before the law” – a major Western democratic value.

    We have this growing security threat from the radical right … from radical right terrorism — and our security and intelligence agencies continue to WRONGLY see phantom “jihdists” and almost non-resistant “Islamic networks” as a “problem.” While Dutch and German intelligence agencies continue to spy on minority youths at a festival — the REAL terrorists are out planning for their next attack!

    This is a serious security threat growing under our feet – but don’t expect up to be really protected from it by those who are supposed to protect us from it!!!

    “If these ‘militiamen’ were Muslims, this would be called terrorism.”

    There is a double standard isn’t there.

    There are those who get angry and suggest the playing of the race card, but there is growing evidence to support the validity of the warning that came from the Office of Intelligence and Analysis or the Department of Homeland Security in April, 2009,in its report: “Right-wing extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence and Recruitment.” The report warned of lone wolf young white males with connections to right-wing extremist groups committing hate crimes and killings.

    At least the FBI referred to the mass killing at the Sikh temple as an act of domestic terrorism. Since teror appears to be the goal, I hope they all will be considered acts of terrorism; it would only be fair considering the fact that similar crimes when committed by a Muslim is almost always, if not always, called terrorism.

    @Emperor

    In addition to people calling Cox’s actions terrorism, If these Militia Men were Muslims, you’d probably also have “Counter Jihad” blogs claiming Cox’s exaggerated figures for his group size were accurate.

  • mindy1

    now he will be at the mercy of those law enforcement officials he hates ;)

    @Jonathan,

    Cartoonish that White terrorists (favorably labeled “Militiamen) have been found guilty of plotting murder? Let’s be real, if these were Muslims you’d be howling to the wind about Islam and terrorism, etc.

    Sad that you likely agree with these nutbags.

  • Jonathan

    Lmao! This is so pathetically cartoonish. Do liberals have no shame?
