Today the word Militia is a bad
word to be looked upon with disdain
and contempt in political circles in
Washington. These are power mad
people who seek the dominate every
facet of our lives if we let them have
their way. The militia is a part of our
history throwing out tyranny from
our midst, It has been a force for
good. I will share with you why.
We all know that all veterans, even
those returning from the Iraq and
Afghanistan are now a national
security threat according to the
Department of Homeland Security. This federal agency made publications they passed out to Law
Enforcement all around the country. They did not make this classification by pulling a thought out of
their rectal cavity. They made that statement from a historical standpoint on returning war veterans as
one of the examples. This is why the US Government does not want veterans to be armed.
In 1946, Group of WWII veterans took back control in the town in Athens Tennessee. The local Sheriff
tried to rig the election when they seen they were being thrown out of office. The town has been
tyrannized by local corruption while the men were off fighting a war. They did not like the changes
they came home to and would not tolerate tyranny any longer. When the former GIs said enough after
                           seeing what has happened when they were away. The WWII veterans by force
                           of arms took back the town when all peaceful measures have failed. They were
                           not afraid to use their guns and shoot if necessary.
                         We cannot leave out returning Negro veterans who experienced war either.
                         Many of the strongest leaders in the Civil Rights movement where World War
                         II and Korean war veterans who served honorably. They returned home to find
                         they do not get the respect they deserved. Many highly decorated black
                         veterans, many of these heroes were lynched or beaten up when they returned
                         home. They got very little fanfare. The Black people were still being abused
and treated as second class citizens.
People give too much credit to Martin Luther King for being the champion of civil rights for black
Americans. We need not forget the success of the movement was these black veterans who fought on
the battlefield, again, they were working in the trenches with great courage and valor during the civil
rights era. They have seen the horrors of war, the Klan did not scare them too easily. They were battle
hardened, they were able to endure the persecution and confrontations during this era. That combat
experience was an asset making them very effective
demonstrating leadership in the face of danger. They
were honoring their oath they swore as servicemen
beyond the battlefield fighting for liberty at home.
The first visible sign of Blacks standing up and
defending themselves against the abuse of the Klu
Klux Klan was a Militia called The Deacons of
Defense and Justice. This Militia was formed in
Louisiana by Earnest “Chilly Willy” Thomas to
protect the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)
from Klan attacks. This group consist of all black
World War II and Korean war Veterans standing in
the gap against Klan violence. The Deacons provided
security for the Freedom riders everywhere they marched and demonstrated. The Knights of the Klu
Klux Klan was kept in check, they could not terrorize the civil rights demonstrations anymore. This
Klan is also an arm of COINTELPRO to this very day. The KKK attacked many civil rights groups
back in the 1960s with FBI plants in this racist organization. The Deacons for Defense and Justice did
have the concern of the FBI back in the 1960s. They were very effective deterring Klan violence which
has the FBI very concerned. I wonder why.
There were many all black militia formations were all war veterans who were trained and disciplined.
They provided security while many black activists were exercising their right to free speech protesting
the lack of equality. They were not an offensive force, they were a defensive in their mission to keep
the peace.
                                                  In North Carolina when Blacks were fighting racial
                                                  segregation. The Klan was fighting the racial
                                                  integration of public Swimming Pools and other
                                                  faculties. The Klan was attacking the Civil Rights
                                                  groups pushing for racial integration. A Militia was
                                                  formed as a response to these attacks called Black
                                                  Armed Guard founded by Robert F Williams. This
                                                  group was founded for the sole purpose to protect the
                                                  civil rights activist from attacks and kidnappings. They
                                                  educated black Americans in the use and safety of
                                                  firearms in self defense. The Black Armed Guard was
the first all black firearms groups to get an NRA charter. The establishment did not like Robert
Williams. The FBI trumped up charges and accused him of allegations to attack his credibility. They
issued a warrant for his arrest. He spent many years in exile because he was teaching blacks to defend
themselves against White racist terrorism sponsored by the US government.
The FBI COINTELPRO also formed fringe militant black groups to demonize the lawful Black Militia
groups as a means to discredit them. They were using the word “militant” to give a negative impression
as propaganda. The Federal Government was worried about these Black militia groups. Forming these
radical fringe groups calling themselves militia calling for violence, they were able to neutralize the
effectiveness of the grassroots security forces like Black Armed Guard and the Deacons for Defense
and Justice. The grassroots black militia was just a security force, they never went out and retaliated
against past violence. They just served as a security force to protect the movement from further Klan
violence. It is sad the leadership in these Black Militias were ineffective challenging the FBI
COINTELPRO groups with a radical agenda alien to the mission of the Deacon of Defense and Justice
and Black Armed Guard. This is how FBI
COINTELPRO sent a chilling effect into the all black
militia movement. J. Edgar Hoover has seen these
groups as a threat, so he neutralized them. The US
Government could not challenge the legality of the
Black Militia movement because they are
constitutional and lawful. The second Amendment
secured the right of self defense. The only way the US
government can neutralize them is by discrediting
them and demonizing them calling them militant
lumping them with radical groups calling for
violence. If they could not take them down overtly,
they had to do it covertly through COINTELPRO
through disinformation.
The Government tried this tactic again with the Waco
massacre, Ruby Ridge and the OKC bombing of the Murrah Federal Building trying to demonize the
militia, gun ownership, the patriots fighting for states’ rights and conservative talk radio. This time, it
was ineffective trying to send a chilling effect inside the patriot movement. They FBI has tried with
people like Hal Turner who worked for the Feds, this man was calling for violence against the
government. He was there as a poster child to demonize the patriot movement. That has failed. They
tried to take down Hutaree militia with FBI informants making baseless accusations. The FBI tried to
demonize Oathkeepers by arresting Sgt Dyer on child molestation and weapon charges. The Fed tried
using the shooting of Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords to discredit the Tea Party movement. They
have tried to pull a false flag with operation fast and furious with government agents shipping guns to
Mexico drug cartels to spur more violence along the US. Mexican border. They wanted to blame the
second amendment as the cause of violence along the southern border. All this demonetization has
backfired on feds when they were exposed having their hand in it.
Another Militia Black leader arose to speak before the US Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism in the
1990s. He sat alongside leaders of the Militia movement Mark Koernke and RBN head John
Stadmiller. His name is J.J. Johnson , his testimony before the US Senate was very convincing making
the case for the militia in the light of the rising Police State after Waco and Ruby Ridge. He formed a
militia in Ohio is responding to the police state and rising crime among the gangs. J.J. Johnson saw the
attack on personal liberties in the black community from the government. This had many in the
government concerned because they could not label the militia movement as White Supremacist
because the militia leadership stood shoulder to shoulder with J.J. Johnson a black militia commander.
                                                  The truth is how do we counter tyranny? The Deacons
                                                  of Defense and Justice does give us a guild post about
                                                  what they have done to stop the abuse by the police
                                                  and the Klan protecting life liberty and property by
                                                  exercising the right to keep and bear arms. Think about
                                                  it, if there was an armed citizen militia at the G20
                                                  conference in Pittsburgh that would be willing shoot
                                                  back if the Police attacked the demonstrators without
                                                  provocation. The police would back down trying to
                                                  thug up on the peaceful protesters. When there is a
                                                  show of strength, the Police will go into retreat and act
                                                  as peace officers.
                                                            The Militia consist the whole of the
                                                            population. Every able bodied man with a
                                                            firearm ready to respond is the militia. They
                                                            have served as a counter force against a
                                                            tyrannical thug seeking to intimidate and
                                                            cower the population. The Klan in the south
                                                            sought to instill fear into the black people.
                                                            Here is an account from Joanne Grant who
                                                            wrote the book Black Protest about how the
                                                            Klan fled when confronted with armed men
                                                            protecting the people:
                                                           On a sultry July evening in 1965, a
                                                           cavalcade of cars driven by members of the
Ku Klux Klan barreled into a predominately black neighborhood of Bogalusa, Louisiana, as they had
done on countless nights before. The twenty-five car motorcade sometimes sped, sometimes cruised
ominously through the streets. Leaning out of car windows, Klansmen taunted black residents, hurled
racial epithets, insulted black women, and brandished pistols and rifles. When the Klansmen fired
randomly into the homes of black Bogalusa residents, a fusillade of bullets met them in return. The
unwelcome visitors quickly fled the neighborhood. It was the Klan’s first encounter with the Deacons
for Defense and Justice.
Will we resort to forming militia groups to protect ourselves deterring a tyrannical system? Will we
have to form a militia for protection if we own a Health Food Store that sells raw milk or the farmers
market? Will there be protection for the farms from Federal agents from a local armed militia? Will we
need them for protection if we are to exercise our first amendment from police abuse? Will we need an
armed deterrence just so our children can have a Lemonade Stand? Will we need a security force
consisting of the people in our communities so our home gardens will not be attacked at night or
kidnapped being black bagged by Homeland Security. Will we need our own security force to protect
our homes from criminals since the police will not help us? Will we need a defense force just to protect
ourselves when the government tries to come and seize our guns from us? A local militia might be the
only solution left on the table to be a counter force against tyranny.
What we face today is just like what the blacks faced in the civil rights era. The courts would not
protect them. The police would not help them. The Klan had the blessing of the police to commit
violence with impunity. They had no one to turn to in the system. They had to do it all on their own and
that is what the blacks did. A few brave war veterans stepped forward and made a difference.
When the civil rights struggle started, after abuse and repeated injuries by the police and the Klan in the
deep south. A group of veterans got fed up with the abuse from the Klan and the police when they
peacefully assembled for redress of grievances . They formed these groups of armed men mostly of war
veterans to serve as a deterrence against groups who sought to intimidate and cower the black
population. Where the Deacons of Defense and Justice was or Black Armed Guard showed their
presence, there was no incident. They were the true peacemakers willing to use force if necessary to
back it up. Keeping the peace by showing their strength. This had all the tyrants thinking twice before
they pull the trigger.
That is the beauty of the second amendment at work when it is used to protect the first amendment. Do
you agree?
