Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

April 7, 2010

Scooped up in a three-state federal raid, the members of Michigan?s Hutaree militia stand accused of ?seditious conspiracy? for allegedly plotting to kill a police officer and then ambush other law enforcement personnel at the murdered man?s funeral.

The indictment against the militia offers no substantive evidence that anybody in that group did more than engage in wrong-headed, ill-considered speculative talk.

Federal authorities have admitted that the individual who offered to build bombs on behalf of the group was a federal agent. This underscores the strong possibility that the Hutaree militia ? like many previous groups ? was deliberately goaded by a federal provocateur into saying or doing something that could be described as a federal offense, or a conspiracy to commit the same.

Tens of thousands of informants and provocateurs are kept on the federal payroll. Their services are employed so frequently that we?re justified in the suspicion that any violent political group is a public-private partnership created for propaganda purposes by the Feds.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
