Over the last couple of days, FBI agents have staged a number of raids in Michigan and arrested members of Hutaree, a Christian militia group based there. The Christian Soldiers have been preparing to do battle with “The AntiChrist.” which we suspect either the Democratic Party, the Health Care Bill, or Barack Obama himself. Local Militias (Michigan is famous for it’s radical Militia groups) claim that they have nothing to do with this “cult.”

\nOne story is here<\/a>, and additional reporting here<\/a>. The latter source points to a reported sequence of internet chat room chatter that is somewhat disturbing (Koernke is a militia-symp):<\/p>\n

mark_Koernke_ I just left a shouting match about 20 minutes ago with a little over a hundred militiamen who are on the move right now. The arguement was over not if but rather where to hit them. Trying to calm them down was useless and they are not going to let this lie. They will identify the straglers or pickets first and wipe them out. By what the radiio crew said the recon teams have all of the hiddy holes<\/p>\n

[04:14] mark_Koernke_ …IDed for those they moved in and the group is infiltrating to site as we speak. I hope the locals are smart enough to step out of the way.<\/p>\n

[04:16] mark_Koernke_ this is interesting for we may have live vids from the epicanter as it developes.<\/p>\n

[04:16] mark_Koernke_ …epicenter…<\/p>\n

[04:34] mark_Koernke_ sorry about that , just got off one of our back up phones with another militia unit commander. His first comment was “Well Mark, I guess that we aren’t going to chirch this morning.”<\/p>\n

[04:35] mark_Koernke_ He then told me that as he was packing up his LBE and weapons into the armored truck he has that he asked his wife to bring the congregation together to say a prayer for the militia that may be going to war this sunday.”<\/p>\n

[04:37] mark_Koernke_ His wife was crying in the background(I could hear her) and he said he had kissed his children good by and was now going out the door. He is a two war vet and young. He has killed many times before and she knows his moods<\/p>\n

[04:39] mark_Koernke_ she is a good woman with two young sons. they are all supportive of the militia.<\/p>\n

[04:40] mark_Koernke_ By what I understand the unit commander on the ground and the coordinator is the 4th RCT CMM second company commander. Good man and level headed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Stay tuned, I guess.<\/p>\n
