Article below outlines collapse of many domestic radical groups in wake
of 9/11. One of them, Norman "Dave" Somerville spouts the usual "truther"
stuff - from his prison cell where he is serving 80 months for possession of
illegal weapons.

Norman "Dave" Somerville, tied to a militia in northern Michigan, armed himself at a small compound with machine guns and ammunition after the attacks. The former Special Forces veteran kept photos of President Bush and then-Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld with rifle-scope cross hairs on their faces.

In fall 2003, authorities arrested him on weapons charges. He is serving an 80-month sentence at a federal prison medical center in Kentucky and will be 55 by the time he gets out. His job is washing dishes. "Prison sucks," he lamented.

In an interview, he insisted his only crime was not registering his firearms, and he alleged that the government had used Sept. 11 to create public distrust of Americans who challenged authority. It is a common complaint among anti-government conspiracy theorists.

"When it happened, we thought the world was coming to an end. But it was a fraud," he said. "I've seen demolition jobs and how buildings come down. And there's no way those buildings came down without extra explosives. It was done for purposes of greed, for helping the Jews, for for taking over the oil."

it's a figure of speech, okay?This is exactly what have been theorizing all along. Whackadoo militia types are behind some of the theories, and are using 9/11 and Bush's response to breed discontent with all government, legitimate or otherwise and to recruit useful idiots to their cause.

Militia are men in arms formed to protect their towns from foreign invasion and ravages of war.
Definitely have to get rid of them, huh?

Way to misinterpret a common usuage there. You must be lots of fun at parties.
 
Sorry for duplicate post - computer had problem and resent it not knowing if first post
got through.
 
That'll teach him to have a militia in the north. When I bought my first gun I went to Wal-Mart to ask how to register it and he laughed and laughed. :)
