Nevertheless, three men from Gaston County were charged with conspiring to arm themselves with illegal explosive devices to combat what they saw as a potential military takeover, according to court documents unsealed Monday in U.S. District Court in Charlotte....
A tipster first contacted the FBI in June after becoming concerned that Litteral and Campbell were "preparing to use lethal force against United States government forces in order to defend against the imposition of martial law or other infringements on their rights," according to an affidavit.

He requested that the equipment be delivered by July 15, the start date of the military training exercise. He also purchased smokeless rifle powder, two-way radios and balaclavas....
“Lemme tell you something I gunna have my fucking house rigged up these mother fuckers come try to come in my house its going off we gonna look here we’re partying," Litteral allegedly told the tipster in a June 19 phone call.

And there is the Rolling Stone article on the crew in Texas. Wow.
Wonkette has a headline "Schmick shots at Jade Helm Troops, Thwarts Obama's Invasion of Mississippi"
"A Facebook page that apparently belonged to Litteral showed that he "liked" pages for various patriot groups, including the Oath Keepers, North Carolina Citizen Militia, and the Three Percenters."
