At an August “Appalachian Summit” Oath Keepers founder, Stewart Rhodes, outlined the far-right group’s intention to have members infiltrate local institutions, including volunteer fire departments and churches ... Many .. participants dressed in fatigues and carried assault weapons. Leaders arrived .. in an Oath Keepers helicopter.

Rhodes warned the crowd that the term “militia” has been “turned into the M-word. It’s dirty-word, now, like the N-word.” As a result, new techniques were required to “revitalize it.”

He then sketched out how Oath Keepers and others should infiltrate local institutions as a way to build trust with neighbors, and as a way of recruiting—what Rhodes called “shopping for talent.” In addition to targeting volunteer fire departments and churches, Rhodes recommended infiltrating neighborhood watch groups, search and rescue and other first responder groups, and VFW groups ...

Rhodes mention of the “N-word” wasn’t the only time racially-charged language was voiced on the stage at the Oath Keepers summit. Earlier in the day, another Oath Keepers leader sung the praises of the Confederate battle flag flying on the grounds ...

like mine they were very popular at first. Lots of things for the kids etc. But then they started telling members that they were there to teach our churches how to do it. And the it turned out to be political and local. It did not take many of us long to turn our backs on them.

That will not be as easy with a group like Other Keepers. They assume they are entitled to anything they want. This is a very dangerous result of things like the tea party takeover of our world.
