Is Portland Part of a Rightwing Militia Takeover? [View all]
Oregon's Attorney General has sued the federal government seeking an injunction against arrests by persons without uniforms and badges and/or in unmarked vehicles.
The Oregon complaint states in part:
“Defendants are injuring the occupants of Portland by taking away citizens’ ability to determine whether they are being kidnapped by militia or other malfeasants dressed in paramilitary gear …. or are being arrested."
The militia is exposed to an unprecedented degree in this article including militia candidates for office bragging about the extent of their influence and membership.
This expose' about 3%er militia is well-researched and includes expert opinions by former counter terrorism officials. Turns out militia is HEAVILY present in oil and gas, has Congressmen proclaiming fealty, has connections to police and other law enforcement, and is present at critical national energy infrastructure facilities.
For insight into armed protests at state capitols, harassment of indigenous people and protesters, events in Portland, and the discussion about contemporary fascism, this is an absolute Must Read.
