The judge presiding over the Hutaree militia case has asked prosecutors to provide evidence that they were, in fact, engaged in seditious acts against the United States government and its representatives.
While we do not condone violence against the public, law enforcement or the US government, we have yet to see any clear evidence that any attacks were imminent. Most of the recorded FBI conversations suggest that it was a bunch of really fired up people talking in a group, perhaps misguided, but no actual “plan” really existed.
A federal judge on Wednesday expressed strong reservations about the weight of the evidence against nine militia members accused of plotting to wage war against the United States.
But a federal prosecutor said the government can’t always wait until a plot is carried out to charge those involved and asked the judge to consider how much better things would be if federal agents had been able to arrest Timothy McVeigh before he blew up the federal building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people.
U.S. District Judge Victoria A. Roberts repeatedly pressed prosecutors about what evidence they are pointing to in support of the seditious conspiracy charge that all nine Hutaree militia defendants are facing.

The Hutaree members also face charges of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. But defense lawyers have noted no bombs were among the large amounts of weapons and ammunition seized from defendants and said the only explosives set off at Hutaree training exercises were supplied and detonated by an undercover FBI agent who infiltrated the group.
“My client has said nothing worse than you can hear on television or radio or any one of a billion Internet screeds on any given day,” argued William Swor, a Detroit attorney representing lead defendant, David Stone Sr.

Hutaree Leader David Stone:
The audio below is Hutaree leader David Stone practicing a speech which he planned on delivering at some point in the future. The government is basing some of its evidence on this:

Is CNN molding unsuspecting minds with the vivid imagery that they run along with the audio of Stone’s speech?

Comments…..As much as I do not want to see another OK City type of event, I do not believe in prosecuting people for “thought crimes” , especially when we consider the fact that it was the Federal Government who brought explosives to the table and did everything they could to promote and actualize an act of violence. As far as I know it is not illegal to have “large amounts of weapons and ammo” so I presume those goods will be returned to their rightful owners upon their imminent release?
Entrapment! FBI at it’s finest.
Well then lets take this a step further boys and girls . How many Training camps are there in the good Ole US of A that subscribe to the religion of peace ? at last count I believe it was 36 . Some how this group called the Hutaree gets hammered but not those wonderful guys the Muslims . I will lay down any bet you want to make that even when we get hit by home trained terrorists here in the US , obama will still order “Hands off” to our law enforcement guys. No one in the MSM  dares to challenge him on why these camps are allowed to exist .
Anything is against obama and theLeft seems to be gettiing shutdown or haveing riot police come or Label you unpatriotic or another potential bomb maker.They do this because their grip on power and control is being challenged so you have to maintain the Fear Level or to up it to acheive your goals. Milita’s will be the focus because they have the potential to defend and to cause massive harm to the establishment because they have the weapons and they have the will ! Expect more Unconstitutional Laws and bills and other media crap to further their case agaisnt people who will defend themselves to the death if need be !
FREEDOM: Dusty old helmet, rusty old gun, They sit in the corner and wait – Two souvenirs of the Second World War That have withstood the time, and the hate. Mute witness to a time of much trouble. Where kill or be killed was the law – Were these implements used with high honor? What was the glory they saw? Many times I’ve wanted to ask them – And now that we’re here all alone, Relics all three of a long ago war – Where has freedom gone? Freedom flies in your heart like an eagle. Let it soar with the winds high above Among the spirits of soldiers now sleeping, Guard it with care and with love. I salute my old friends in the corner, I agree with all they have said – And if the moment of truth comes tomorrow, I’ll be free, or By God, I’ll be dead! Audie Murphy (1925-1971)
Its rather telling that the judge keeps asking the Prosecutor to provide him with “actual evidence”.
Mr. President! Where IS that birth certificate, anyway?

The federal government is looking for any excuse to crack down on militia groups.  It’s my guess the supposed and failed New York car bombing of this last week is another federal conspiracy to blame militia’s for ‘anti-government activities.  Â
Obama will do anything to turn off the economic fire under his ass and use the distraction to yet again fool the gullible ‘hope and changers’ in this country.Â
