A ninth alleged member of a Christian militia group that prepared to battle the Antichrist and the U.S. government was arrested after the FBI played recorded messages from family and friends, who urged the man to give himself up, over loudspeakers outside a home in rural Michigan.
Joshua Matthew Stone peacefully surrendered to heavily armed authorities Monday night. His father and seven others believed to be part of the Michigan-based Hutaree appeared in court earlier on charges they plotted to kill a police officer and slaughter scores more by bombing the funeral — all in hopes of touching off an uprising against the government.
Most of the arrests came during weekend raids in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. FBI agents moved quickly against Hutaree because members planned an attack sometime in April, prosecutors said. Authorities seized guns but would not say whether they found explosives.
The arrests dealt "a severe blow to a dangerous organization that today stands accused of conspiring to levy war against the United States," Attorney General Eric Holder said.

you know, i love my country....but, our government has turned their backs on the people. the greed, corruption and no moral ways have rapidly increased in the lives of these people and the bottomline here is... the middle class and few others have been left to pay the bill for the upper class which includes our officials. these "bailouts" are a joke... we just basically paid for billions of dollars in undeserved bonuses and supported luxury lifestyles for execs in big business. ya know, i can answer questions like, why gas prices soar..answer- greed ....there is NO NEED to pay a "snot-nose" kid to stand in the wall street building and "speculate" how much a barrel of oil is going to cost next month....do you know how many people are going to get a piece of that to put in their bank account???.....have you seen the COUNTLESS, GOLDEN PALACES IN SAUDI ARABIA that were funded from the sale of oil???......our health care... i can answer that one too...GREED!!!.. WHY does an MRI cost $1,500.00 - $2,200.00 ???? ----GREED......DR. VISITS, MEDICATION, HOSPITAL STAYS----- ALL GREED!!!!! I could go on ALL day with this stuff.. bottomline.. we the people are going to have to get up off our butts and make a stand.. i'm not saying to start a war, but, why did we leave Europe? why was there a Boston Tea Party? why was there Revolutionary War??..conclusion.. WASHINGTON, WAKE UP, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. DO THE RIGHT AND MORAL THING.... AND THAT DOES INCLUDE--- CONTROL YOUR AND THEIR GREED! HAVE A GREAT AND SAFE DAY PEOPLE!
while I can admire the passion and depth of feeling, I'm not sure a blog on military & defense affairs is the right place for a tea party screed.
