Jerry Mitchell, who is a longtime investigative reporter, in his 4 Feb 2020 book “Race Against Time” tells of KKK holding “trial” in the 1962-67 Mississippi woods, then lynching the “guilty”. On 8 Oct 2020 Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Wisconsin woods “trial” was derailed by Michigan and FBI forces.
Whether that derailment holds or not, either way, We cannot let-up in defeating these kinds of plans and tactics that Mitchell documents(p. 201 and others) as a “three” (firebombing) or a “four” meaning “Abolishment”. Investigating events exhaustively documented in his book, Mitchell eventually turned to Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights www.irehr.org
The thorough, compelling 2009 IREHR vision statement says in part,
“The so-called Christian right, paleo-conservatism, and other far-right movements exist in a symbiotic relationship with nativism and white nationalism; and ideas and people flow between these movements, sometimes creating a whole that is bigger than its parts. … […]…
Individually and together, we have investigated the smallest corners of white nationalist activity, in the process building one of the largest research archives on white nationalism in country. We’ve also helped conceptualize the broadest band of understanding of the problems at hand. … […]…
IREHR brings both a long-term perspective and a short-term urgency to our work. We aim to continue examining racist, anti-Semitic, and far right social movements, analyzing their intersection with civil society and social policy, and to educate the public and assist in the protection and extension of human rights through organization and informed mobilization.”
On 11 May 2020 IREHR published “PROUD BOYS AND THE COVID-19 INSURRECTION” by Chuck Tanner. On 28 May 2020 Chuck Tanner and Devin Burghart posted “FAR-RIGHT MILITIAS AND THE COVID-19 INSURRECTION”, explicitly pointing to Michigan as a case study in what to expect.
Whether 19th, 20th or 21st Century marks our calendar on Our wall, United Statesan Burkean conservatives who oppose Our reconstructing Winthrop’s 1630 vision of the City On The Hill are not our friends. We’ve been having barroom and backwoods brawls over our struggles and definitions of “Liberty” and “Purity” since 1607 and 1620, and we must not let Wolverine Watchmen, Michigan Home Guard, Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officer Association (CSPOA) or Impostor-POTUS dictate the meanings and structures to achieve these civic ideals.
JANA WINTER in Yahoo News reports FBI & NCC warnings of 18 Jun 2020:
Almost four months before the FBI arrested six men for plotting to kidnap Michigan’s governor, the bureau warned local and state law enforcement about a surge in militia extremists seeking to target government officials, particularly those they blamed for pandemic restrictions, according to an intelligence bulletin obtained by Yahoo News.
“Militia extremists likely pose an increased threat to state and local law enforcement, government personnel and associated facilities due to a perceived resurgence in recent months of activity surrounding state-level gun control legislation, as well as concerns specific to state and local government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic,” the FBI said in an intelligence bulletin dated June 18 and produced jointly with the National Counterterrorism Center. ...[...]… read more

Jana Winter for Yahoo News a month ago reported “FBI warns of increasing extremist threats to the 2020 elections” with a video interview by editor-in-chief Daniel Klaidman of Elizabeth Neumann, past DHS Assistant Secretary for Threat Prevention and Security Policy, who has worked in civil service 17 years since Bush, Jr.
...[...]… the bulletin, which is dated Aug. 21, refers only to extremists and does not specify left- or right-wing groups, two of the cases cited in the document are individuals or groups concerned about a potential Trump electoral loss. The FBI refers to one case from this summer when “members of a self-described violent extremist militia” discussed plans to attack elected officials or storm “the state capitol building while the legislature was in session, with the intent to kill all inside. ...[...]…

Yesterday RVAT (Republican Voters Against Trump) put up a new Elizabeth Neumann statement:
Burkean conservative Tradition does not imply that an entire nation or even one State can be trashed just because the (apparent, if temporary) “majority” leaders think that the world is ordered as it is for reasons and that humans ought not tinker with that order, especially when the tinkers are on a tree limb of creation that is of a lower class and status, i.e. closer to the bottom of the heap.
That set of beliefs is in the sustenance of a social order as it is was, thoroughly defeated by the winners of the U.S. Civil War, and must be defeated again in 2020. Allowing the losers to enjoy a resurgence of that old-time Manner of Governing is folly. People are not conceived, whether by nature or by God or by evolution with a certain order to them, some born ordained to do this and others born ordained to do that, with no allowed stepping out of one role to fill another. That is not "just the way it is".
Since it is clearly true that the economy is in real danger ─Congress absolutely needs to go big, bigger even than they’ve been talking about─ and Illinois, for example, with it’s proposed State Constitutional Amendment on the 2020 ballot as well as Michigan wearing their masks as Gov. Whitmer facilitated, must lead us this year. The looming, "tragic" scenario is exacerbation of existing disparities in our economy and a totally inadequate spending response from lawmakers in past Illinois, Michigan, and the entire U.S. legislatures demands Avoiding No recovery, avoiding creation of a family-killing hardship for households but certainly not for gang recruiters who work the streets today in ever greater numbers, with ever greater impunity, especially the gang recruiters of the white supremacist persuasion, among whom are the opponents of civil structures like the proposed Illinois Constitutional Amendment and persons like Governors Whitmer, Cuomo and others. Burkean conservatives really exist and they're growing stronger in our day. Thankfully in Michigan they have been obstructed, if not defeated, yesterday and on into the Nov. 3rd Election 2020.
