Let's Call Them What They Are

Others do not favor a general civil war, but would welcome a military coup, destroying our civilian democracy in the process. Rev. Rick Joyner, of the mega-religion Morningstar Ministries, has been calling for a coup-d'etat for months. He is encouraging God to bring about a military overthrow.

Operation American Spring has been set for May 16 (this Friday). This delusional group, headed by retired Col. Harry Riley, believes that up to 10 million "patriots" will descend on Washington for a rally. Then, one million will stay until such politicians as "Obama, Biden, Reid, McConnell, Boehner, Pelosi, and AG Holder (are) removed from office".

Next question: how do these people possibly have the financial ability to stay in Bunkerville or Washington for extended periods without starving to death?

That sovereigns are players in the meth trade is well known; someone really needs to have the DEA overfly their houses with chemical sensors.
