[USMC_0311]

Do you like Ron Paul or oppose abortion? You may be a member of a militia, according to a new report by a government information collection agency.

Due to the current economical and political situation, a lush environment for militia activity has been created,"

MIAC is one of 58 so-called "fusion centers" nationwide that were created by the Department of Homeland Security, in part, to collect local intelligence that authorities can use to combat terrorism and related criminal activities.

By definition INGO members are probably classified as Militia.
Welcome to the militia whether you wanted it or not.

According to the Indiana State Constitution, you're in the militia whether you wanted it or not.

A militia shall be provided and shall consist of all persons over the age of seventeen (17) years, except those persons who may be exempted by the laws of the United States or of this state. The militia may be divided into active and inactive classes and consist of such military organizations as may be provided by law.

True, I just think it is interesting that they are collecting local intelligence now and the media protrayal of the militia as if it means domestic terrorist.

Do any of the LEOs on this board know if the Indiana "Fusion Center" sent out similar "warning" to our State Police and local sheriff's depts and Police? or would that be "TOP SECRET" like it was in Missouri before someone on the inside leaked it?

There are 58 of these fusion centers nationwide according to the Foxnews story in the OP's link . i imagine Indiana has one (or two). if this is what the Feds are doing in MO, i imagine they are doing this everywhere.

I don't really like Ron Paul, though I don't really like many other people right now, either , but I'm half-tempted to join the Libertarian party and buy a Ron Paul bumper sticker just for fun.

We receive frequent intel bulletins from ISP, some of which are generated by the Indiana Fusion Center. I have yet to see one describing "local terrorists" based on criteria mentioned. Its possible its out there, it just hasn't been disseminated yet.

Well dang, I feel special if they're wasting all this time and these resources on me.

Time will be when we'll need active militias again... but not quite yet.

 

[Pami]

Thread closed because this has been discussed ad nauseum in at least four other threads, of which I've closed at least three.
