Documents from a Utah offshoot of the rightwing Oath Keepers militia show that two 2023 leadership meetings of the extremist group were attended by former law enforcement officers, a serving prosecutor and a former elected official.

"When the men with guns who have always claimed to be against the system start wearing uniforms and marching with torches and pictures of a leader, the end is nigh. When the pro-leader paramilitary and the official police and military intermingle, the end has come."
It's not a huge stretch. Original charter was that they were made up of former military and police who uphold the oath to the constitution and refuse unlawful orders if given that went against it.
Too bad that wasn't the case years later and they became right wing domestic terrorists instead.
Hmmm - and does that give the Oath Keepers the power to declare that any action against them is entrapment since there are law enforcement officers in their ranks?
Decades ago I worked for a defense contractor; it was known that there was a Christian nationalist/white supremacist movement taking hold in the military. Of course it seeped into law enforcement, where many retired vets choose to work. Don’t know how many there are, but they’re emboldened now.
either unite or die-there is no future coming. either we do it now or surrender to nazis:

Note again that it is national or international news outlets breaking these stories about #Utah extremism that local media like @ksl5tv.bsky.social, @sltrib.com, @fox13news.bsky.social, and others largely ignore.

Pay attention to the board elections.
No institution is a magical bulwark.
